Purple Dragon Core

History[]

Background[]

The First Spinjitzu Master used some of the dragon energy of the Source Dragons to create the purple Dragon Core, along with two other cores. The Dragon Cores were used to spot the Coalescence. However, to ensure their safety, the First Spinjitzu Master concealed the purple Dragon Core in the Wyldness, where he entrusted its protection to the Lava-Tides.^[1][2]

Wyldly Inappropriate[]

In search of the core to stabilize the Merged Realms, Kai and Wyldfyre were sent to retrieve the Purple Core from the Lava-Tide Village. Unfortunately, the local Lava-Tides refused to give them the core due to their past negative history with Wyldfyre who had repeatedly vandalized their village in the past, claiming her actions were nothing more than pranks. Nevertheless, the Lava-Tide Leader agreed to give the duo the core if they completed all the tasks on the Scroll of Grievances in order to prove themselves worthy.

After completing the tasks listed in the scroll, the Lava-Tides briefly presented the duo with the Purple Core before immediately hurling it into the Pit of No Return, with the Leader declaring their belief that Wyldfyre can never change and now it was her turn to be pranked! With no other option, Kai and Wyldfyre were forced to scale down the sides of the pit in order to retrieve the core. Although they were able to retrieve it from the pit, it was almost immediately snatched from them by Dorama.

They Call It Doom[]

Dorama and his stagehands, Kai and Wyldfyre, and the Lava-Tides fought in a battle of keep-away to take control of the Dragon Core. However, after Wylfyre shot fireballs at the Lava-Tide Leader, it consumed them and grew to a massive size, easily holding onto the Dragon Core until Heatwave intervened, knocking away the Lava-Tide Leader and allowing Kai and Wylfyre to escape with the Dragon Core.

Absolute Power[]

The Dragon Core was taken and put into the MergeQuake Weapon for testing.

We Are All Dragons[]

Alongside the Yellow Dragon Core and the Imperium Dragon Core, the Purple Core was utilized to power Beatrix's MergeQuake Weapon.

The Power Within[]

After the MergeQuake weapon was destroyed, the ninja took the Dragon Cores to the Crossroads. Lloyd used the Cores to stabilize the MergeQuake Storm. Afterwards, Lloyd and Riyu took the Dragon Cores to the Source Dragon of Energy, and used them to allow the Source Dragon to be freed without destabilizing the Merged Realms.

Other appearances and mentions[]

The Administration[]

As Kai and Wyldfyre prepared to leave the Wyldness, Kai noticed something off about the Core and smashed it, shocking the both of them as Dorama had swapped the real one with a fake in the confusion.
