Plot
Trucks are coming toward Jamonikai Village, and skeletons are in them, waiting to attack a blacksmith shop. A few minutes ago, Sensei Wu had arrived at the shop, and meets a young man named Kai and his little sister, Nya. The trucks arrive and start fighting. Two skeletons, Kruncha and Nuckal, sneak into the shop and find the map of the golden weapons. Kai is almost toppled over by a water tower, but Sensei Wu saves him. Nya is captured by the skeletons, and they leave with the map. Sensei Wu tells Kai about how he gave the map to his father, and he takes him to the dojo. During the night, Kai fights three other ninja, his teammates. Kai later discovers that they are Jay, Cole, and Zane.

The next day, Sensei Wu and the ninja are on their way to the Caves of Despair, where the Scythe of Quakes is. Cole and the ninja sneak and get the map, and then get the golden weapon out of the dragon's map. They defeat the skeletons, and they defeat the dragon by using the weapon. Sensei Wu is angered by this.

The next day, The ninja are on their way to the Frozen Wastelands. They get the Shurikens of Ice and escape with a frozen Zane. They get to the Lightning Lands, and get the Nunchucks of Lightning and fight off the skeletons.

The next day, they arrive at the fire temple, where Kai is woken up by the voice of Nya. It turns out to be Garmadon, a shape-shiftng shadow. Nya is held on a chain. Kai cuts her free with the sword of fire, and he fights his own shadow. But, Sensei Wu comes and attacks the shadow! He wins and takes the sword of fire to the Underworld, where they await. The other ninja come and see that Kai is riding on the Fire Dragon! They each get their own dragon to ride on, and they go to the Underworld in time for their last skeleton battle.

They arrive and use the Tornado of Creation to turn the skeleton vehicles into one big ferris wheel! They see Sensei Wu fighting Samukai with the Sword of fire and they see Samukai taking the sword of fire and wiping himself from existence. Lord Garmadon vanishes through a portal, and all of Ninjago is safe for a while.
