History
History[]
Spellbound (flashback)[]
During a duel between Garmadon and Clouse at the monastery, Chen mentions whoever wins this fight shall become his right hand and be granted lordship. This caused the two to become determined to win, with Garmadon cheating. However, Chen stated he did what he had to do to succeed.
Later, in the building, Chen shows Garmadon a love letter Wu wrote to Misako. At first, he was hesitant to write his name on it but Chen encouraged him to, both unaware about Clouse spying on them.
The Wyldness (flashback)[]
As Garmadon began to depart from the monastery, having decided to help his brother in the Serpentine War, he and Chen had one final, and tense, conversation outside the gates. During their conversation, Chen criticized Garmadon's decision to fight alongside Wu, believing that Garmadon's strength would only prolong the war into a stalemate, causing both sides to suffer. After Garmadon once again refused to join Chen and his intentions of assisting the Serpentine, Chen finally relented and gifted Garmadon with a scroll and an amulet. He then urged Garmadon to seek out the teachings of the Forbidden Five, retelling the legends of the Five and their powers, but not without warning him that none who had sought the power of the Five had ever returned.
Strike of the Serpentine (flashback)[]
Chen invited Strike to view the library in his monastery, affirming to her that she may be able to find answers relating to the prophecy of the Golden Master, even though that was only to distract her.
Days later, the Elemental Alliance arrived in the monastery to rebuild the Sacred Flutes, hiding behind barriers. After Strike distracted the Anacondrai who was guarding the monastery, the Elemental Alliance revealed themselves. Wu sent Brook, Sono and Strike to library as he and Garmadon fought against the Anacondrai. After arriving in the library, the group rebuilt flutes with the help of the scroll. Unfortunately, Chen arrived alongside with Clouse, saying that he only cares about the artifacts he collected. However, Brook rebuilt a mech and fought against Chen while Strike hold Clouse, allowing them to get out of the library. As the Anacondrai cornered the Sons of the First Spinjitzu Master, Sono arrived with Brook and played the flute, hypnotizing the Anacondrai.
After the Elemental Alliance locked Serpentine to their tombs, Wu, Garmadon, Brook and Sono saw Strike exiting from the library not hypnotized. Strike explained them that the reason of this is because his connection to the humans, as they watched Sono leading the Anacondrai outside.
