Ninja (G1.5)

## Ninja

The Ninja (as of The Nature Calls)

The **Ninja** (also known as the **Masters of Spinjitzu** or the **Wu-Cru**) are a group of young warriors formed by Master Wu to protect the land of Ninjago from evil. They are one of the main protagonists of *LEGO Ninjago & My Little Pony: Living the Pony Life*. They are also described in the theme song as cute, sweet, magic, posh, fast, and fun respectively.

As employees of the new Sugarcube Café, the Ninja will have to face Emperor Unagami, the final boss of an old and legendary arcade game called Prime Empire, and rescue the people (including Gummy) trapped within the digital world, while setting against Pinkie Pie's arch-nemesis, Okashi, who is the evil sweet sorceress from the Candy Empire.

Sometime after freeing the trapped gamers, the Ninja wound up in the Dungeons of Shintaro Mountain, where they faced off against the Skull Sorcerer and his army of Awakened Warriors while ending a war between the Munce and the Geckles. With the power of the Spinjitzu Burst and the magic of the Rainbow Scepter, Cole, Applejack and the now-Princess Eternity defeated the masked villain, freeing the two tribes from his tyranny, and the Ninja, the Mane Six, Megan and their master went off in search of a new adventure.

After the Second Battle of Shintaro, Princess Black Nova, the daughter of the Overlord, resurrected the Skull of Hazza D'ur, in which she ordered the Awakened Warriors to steal the Princess Eternity's Eternity Crystal to become the tyrannical ruler in Equestria, which was defeated by the Ninja, the Mane Six, Sailor Sky and Sailor Heart with the true meaning of friendship.
