## Biography

### Background

It originally started when an evil martial arts master named Chen who was the teacher of Lord Garmadon. Chen was also married to the Elemental Master of Amber and they had a daughter named Skylor. One day, Chen intercepted a love letter for Misako from Garmadon's brother, Wu and compelled Garmadon to replace Wu's name on the letter with his own due to the Great Devourer's venom taking control of him. This allowed Misako to fall in love with and later marry Garmadon. But then Chen caused the Serpentine War after manipulating both Humans and Serpentine into attacking each other by telling both sides the they were going to betray each other when they were making a truce agreement. Chen then allied himself with the Serpentine along with his other student, Clouse who was a master of dark magic and Garmadon's rival but Garmadon left Chen to fight alongside Wu and the Elemental Masters to stop the Serpentine. After the Serpentine were defeated and sealed away, Chen and Clouse were both exiled from Ninjago to a far away island for siding with the Serpentine. But during his time on the island, Chen managed to build a criminal empire of followers known as the Anacondrai Cultists which were a group of criminals and warriors who worshiped the Anacondrai Serpentine and their creed "Only One Can Remain." Chen also opened up a chain of noodle restaurants called Chen's Noodle House which was popular on Ninjago even though it was just a false front for Chen's criminal activities. Chen later came up with a plan to restart the Serpentine war and take over Ninjago by transforming him and his followers into Anacondrai through the mark of the Anacondrai that was tattooed on their backs as a sign of their group. But in order to do so he needed to cast a spell that required all of the elemental powers. So, he decided to hold the Tournament of Elements where he would invite the next generation of Elemental Masters to his island so he could drain their powers using a special magical staff made from special crystals on the island. Chen then hired Ronin to capture Zane after he was rebuilt after the events of the Nindroid Crisis along with P.I.X.A.L. then Chen scrapped P.I.X.A.L., drained Zane's powers, and locked him up in a jail cell within his palace. He planned to use Zane as bait to lure the other Ninja to the tournament who had broken up because of Zane's death.

When Lloyd tried to bring them all the Ninja back together at Chen's Noodle house, some of the Cultists attacked the place but were eventually defeated by the Ninja. The Cultists then escaped and led the Ninja to an ally where they found a note from Chen telling them about Zane being alive and invitations to his Tournament of Elements, which told them not to bring any weapons or tell any one and to meet at the pier at midnight. When they arrived, Garmadon came along with them and introduced them to the other Elemental Masters who were also invited to the tournament. Among them was Chen's daughter Skylor who also joined the tournament to be a spy for Chen. The tournaments rules were that two Elemental Masters would have to fight each other to get a Jade Blade with whoever won moving on in the tournament, while whoever lost was taken prisoner, drained of their powers, and sent to work in the noodle factory with the Cultist guards and Clouse' pet snake patrolling the tunnels to prevent them from escaping. The Ninja managed to find out about the spell and get through the rounds of the tournament with the exception of Cole who was sent to the noodle factory. Meanwhile, Zane found P.I.X.A.L.'s neural drive after getting out his cell and finding her scrap, installed the drive into his head, and was having strange visions about an Ice Dragon being in front of him, while Nya who was searching for the Ninja and Garmadon picked up Zane's beacon on Chen's island from the Falcon and went there with Dareth who stowed away with her by following Chen's noodle trucks. The Ninja then tried forming an alliance with some of the Elemental Masters in the tournament along with Cole forming one in the noodle factory. However, Chen with help from Skylor who was part of the tournament alliance broke it up using deception and claiming that whoever won the tournament got the Staff of Elements. Nya also went into the tournament disguised as one of Chen's kabuki servants where she told the Ninja about Chen's spy but they didn't know who it was and she was able to get the spell from Clouse's spell book. Cole was also able to find Zane, get him out of his cell, and hid him in the noodle factory with both the other Elemental Masters who lost in the tournament and the other noodle factory workers so they can plan their escape. But Dareth got captured by the Cultists and taken to the noodle factory while Nya's cover got blown after being discovered by Chen but she managed to evade the Cultists.

At the final challenge for the tournament, the finalists and Garmadon were dropped down into the island's jungle where they would hunt down Nya who still had the spell. During the hunt, some of the finalists found some weapons to use like Jay finding a big mech. Garmadon also reveals to Lloyd about his past with Chen including the love letter for Misako which he now promised to tell both her and Wu about after Chen was stopped. The Cultists then captured all the finalists because the weapons the finalists found were tracking their every move. Kai also meets up with Skylor and finds out about her being the spy when she used Zane's power then he get captured by Chen. Nya was able to find Lloyd and Garmadon who weren't captured and tells them about the spell and how Chen has everyone else. While at the noodle factory, Cole and Zane planned to escape by secretly building a roto-jet with the Elemental Masters and Dareth using parts from the factory. Chen then absorbed the finalists elemental powers, prepared to face Lloyd, sent them all to the noodle factory except for Kai after Skylor convinced Chen that he could be helpful to them. Meanwhile, Lloyd, Garmadon, and Nya planned to rescue everyone at nightfall. Chen tried to convince Kai to join him but he refused until Chen offered to tell him about his parents and their secrets. Nya, Lloyd, and Garmadon try to find Chen and save the others, with Nya fighting off the Cultists and Garmadon fighting Clouse. Lloyd is then confronted by Chen with help from Kai then he defeated Lloyd with all the elemental powers. While Nya and Garmadon were both captured and Clouse sent out his serpent to try eat them after taking back the spell from Nya. But back in the factory, Cole, Jay, Zane, Dareth, and the Elemental Masters finished building the roto-jet and used it to destroy the noodle factory, fight off the Cultists, and escape. After Chen absorbed both Skylor and Lloyd's elemental powers, the Elemental Masters freed both Nya and Garmadon and killed Clouse's serpent. Just as Clouse was about to cast the spell, Skylor betrayed Chen and took the Staff of Elements with help from Kai who had only pretended to join Chen to get close to the staff which they both planned together. After freeing Lloyd and fighting off the Cultists with the staff, Kai soon become corrupted by it but then the others showed up and fought off the Cultists. Then Kai destroyed the staff, returning all the elemental powers to everyone who later defeated and captured the Cultists. However, Chen, Clouse, and some of the Cultists escaped and captured Skylor.

With both the Ninja and the Elemental Masters now in control of the island they searched for Chen, Clouse, the remaining Cultists, and Skylor while at the same time destroyed anyway they could possibly escape from the island. Wu and Miskao would then come to the island to pick them all up with the Destiny's Bounty ounce they've finished rebuilding it. However, Chen and his followers planned to escape on their blade-copters ounce they're fixed, then Clouse got an idea to cast the spell using both Skylor who had absorbed the powers of all the Elemental Masters during the tournament and the crystals on the island which were used to make the Staff of Elements. But Skylor escaped after realizing their plan with the Cultists chasing after her, but she was able to use her powers to send out a warning to the Ninja about Chen's plan, so they all go to the other side of the island on some vehicles to save her. But on their way there, Zane got left behind and had his vision of the Ice Dragon again, but the Ninja were able to find Skylor and help her out by fighting off the Cultists chasing her. But soon after Kai and Skylor lose Chen and reunite they were both captured by two of the Cultists, during which Garmadon fought against Clouse who opened up a portal to Cursed Realm to try and banish Garmadon there but Garmadon was able to beat Clouse and banished him there instead. Meanwhile, Zane with help from P.I.X.A.L. was able to see past his visions and find out something about the Ice Dragon. After the other Ninja and Garmadon regrouped at the palace, Garmadon started to fell something as Chen had brought both Kai and Skylor to the crystals on the island and had casted the spell which allowed him to transform himself and all of his followers into Anacondrai, including both Skylor and Garmadon. This caused the captured Cultists to escape and defeated both the Ninja and the Elemental Masters when they tried to fight them off, forcing them all to retreat to the palace. Kai was able to escape and tried fighting off Chen, but he was too powerful in his Anacondrai form. So he left with Skylor, while Chen gathered up the Cultists to leave the island and head for Ninjago on their blade-copters and the roto-jet, leaving both the Ninja and the Elemental Masters behind. Lloyd tried to go back to Ninjago alone since he was the only one who could make an Elemental Dragon to travel, but then Zane showed up also with an Elemental Dragon which was the same dragon from his visions. He revealed that the dragon was actually an manifestation of his own fears that he was able to unlock and use when he faced his fears. Then Kai shows up with Skylor on his own Elemental Dragon and reveled that all of the Elemental Masters have this power too and that they all must face their fears of doubt to unlock them. So the other Ninja along with all the Elemental Masters are able to unlock their Elemental Dragons to head back to Ninjago with Nya riding with Jay, Dareth riding with Zane, and Garmadon riding with Lloyd to stop Chen who had now begun the next Serpentine War.

### The Battle

After they all return to Ninjago, the Ninja and Elemental Masters find out that Chen hasn't attacked Ninjago yet even though they had a day start on them. So they all try to locate Chen and his army while at the same time get both Skylor and Garmadon somewhere where they won't alarm anyone about the Anacondrai. Meanwhile, Chen finds out that the spell is wearing off and finds out that the only way to make it permanent is to use essence from a real Anacondrai. The Ninja then bring both Garmadon and Skylor to the Samurai X cave where they regroup with Wu, Misako, and the Falcon while the Elemental Masters continue to search for Chen. The Ninja then all go to see Pythor in Kryptarium Prison to find out the weakness of the Anacondrai, but he refuses to tell them until they find a way to make him big again since he's still small from eating Cyrus Borg's shrinking pill. However, two of the Cultists sneak into the prison to get Pythor, during which Pythor reveals that this is no weakness to Anacondrai. The Ninja try to protect Pythor from them after they realize that he can make the spell permanent. But while the Ninja fight, Pythor reveals to Wu, Garmadon, and Lloyd why the Anacondrai betrayed the truce back in the Serpentine War and what Chen told them, making them all realize that Chen played both sides from the beginning and started the war. However, more of the Cultists arrive were all able to capture Pythor and escape with him, while at the same time all of the prisoners tried to escape during the fight with the Cultists but the Ninja were able to stop the prisoners from escaping. After the Cultists take Pythor back to their lair, Chen then makes Pythor run on a hamster wheel by letting a Swamp Rat chase him so he can make enough sweat to keep the spell permanent. Chen then sends out his army in his noodle trucks to Ninjago City so they can conquer it, when the Ninja find out about them they along with the Elemental Masters try to stop them. But then the trucks split up and each go different ways to conquer all of Ninjago, forcing the Ninja and the Elemental Master to split up to take them on individually using their Elemental Dragons. Although they were all able to stop the trucks, Skylor realizes that Chen wasn't trying to conquer Ninjago using the trucks he was actually trying to distract and scatter the Ninja and the Elemental Masters so they couldn't stop him because the trucks were all empty. Chen and the Cultists then begin to attack all of Ninjago, with the Ninja and the Elemental Masters unable to use their Elemental Dragons to come back and stop them out of fear that they had lost.

Chen and his army terrorize villages and attack people all across Ninjago. Then Ninja and the Elemental Masters try to regroup back back with each other using the noodle trucks. While Nya, Wu, Garmadon, Misako, and Skylor are on the newly rebuilt Destiny's Bounty trying contact them al but the communications between them are cut. Chen then broadcasts himself on their screen offering a truce if they all leave Ninjago and never return which Garmadon refuses but Wu decides to use to buy the Ninja some time. However, Chen also reveals the truth about the love letter Wu wrote for Misako that Garmadon took and wrote his name on it instead, then Chen goes back on the truce. This makes Wu angry at Garmadon but Skylor convinces them that Chen is only trying to divide and conquer them, but Wu is still mad at Garmadon. Meanwhile, Pyhtor escapes from the hamster wheel and tries to use Clouse's spellbook to make him big again but decides to help out the Ninja as a true Anacondrai would never stand for Chen's evil actions. After the Ninja and the Elemental Master return to the Samurai X Cave and regroup they try to come up with a plan to stop Chen and his army who have conquered more land across Ninjago. Wu then plans to fight against Chen and his army at the Corridor of Elders which is a place where monuments of Ninjago's ancestors are built to honor them and where Chen's army would have to pass through to conquer more land. But they would need more help since Chen's army has them outnumbered, so the Ninja go out and rally up everyone in Ninjago both Human and Serpentine to fight back against Chen. Everyone fights with their hardest against the Cultists to keep them from getting through the Corridor of Elders with the Destiny's Bounty fighting in the air and against the Cultist's blade-copters, but they the Cultists are still too strong to be held off and eventually get through the corridor. But then Pythor shows up riding the Swamp Rat with Clouse's spellbook and tells Lloyd to bring him to Garmadon onto the Destiny's Bounty, where he tells them that the only way to defeat Chen and his army is by releasing General Arcturus and the other Anacondrai Generals from the Cursed Realm which could only be done if the one who banished them takes their place which is Garmadon. Although Lloyd was against it at first, he eventually uses the spellbook to banish Garmadon to the Cursed Realm who apologies to Misako and Wu about the letter and they forgive him. When Garmadon arrives there he tells General Arcturus and the other Anacondrai Generals about Chen, and when their spirits are released they immediately banish Chen and his army to the Cursed Realm for their crimes just as the spell completly wears off thus ending the Second Serpentine War and saving Ninjago.

### Aftermath

Afterwards, General Arcturus restores Pythor to his normal size in gratitude for his help. General Arcturus then thanks Lloyd, his friends, and his father for releasing them, bringing both Humans and Serpentine together, and for restoring the balance. The Anacondrai Generals then leave for the Departed Realm now that they're finally at peace. Skylor takes over her father's noodle company and starts a relationship with Kai. A statue of Garmadon is built within the Corridor of Elders and the Ninja celebrate their victory by honoring both the Anacondrai and Garmadon and by burning Clouse's spellbook while everyone else cleans up the Corridor of Elders. However, unknown to anyone an evil ghost named Morro escapes from the Cursed Realm which would eventually lead to the Ghost Invasion.
