History
History[]
After Day of the Departed[]
The Oncoming Storm[]
Krux, disguised as Dr. Saunders, asked Cole, Lloyd and Zane to find an ancient artifact he doesn't know much about and gives them a map with its possible location. During the search, the Ninja were attacked by the Serpentine led by Acidicus, who claimed that the Ninja will never get to the ancient artifact. After confronting the snakes two times, the Ninja found nothing and asked for Master Wu's help, to which he said that they should check an abandoned rail station in Ninjago City. When the Ninja got to this place, they were again attacked by the Serpentine, but Cole defeated them using his Earth Punch. This punch led to a wall in the building being partially broken, and the Ninja indeed found a strange artifact there, after which they delivered it to Dr. Saunders, who thanked them for their help with an evil smile.
The Hands of Time[]
Into the Tunnels[]
After receiving a map to the Vermillion Swamps from Skales, Lloyd, Cole, Jay, and Zane traveled through the maze of sewer tunnels aboard Destiny's Shadow. After some time of searching aimlessly, Jay grew frustrated and complained that he couldn't read the language on the map. Zane then took the map from his friend, suggesting that he could translate. Following Zane's instructions, the four ninja seemingly arrived at their destination; all they had to do was ascend a ladder.
Rather than emerging inside a swamp however, the four found themselves inside an abandoned factory of sorts, filled with scrap metal and a curious incubator they had retrieved previously for Dr. Saunders. Examining the incubator, the Ninja realized that Dr. Saunders, now since revealed to be the villainous Krux, had requested it to hatch more Vermillion eggs. In fact, they seemed to be hatching right now! As the Ninja watched, the sides of the egg shaped incubator opened and released hordes of Vermillion snakes, which then slithered into the room's derelict machinery and old cars, forming two makeshift Buffmillion armors and two monstrosities using the old cars as shell coverings.
