Portal gates

“This is what teleported you ninja back from Imperium? How does it work?”

“I do not know. It is mystical, not technological, so it is difficult to scan. But if I can reactivate it, it may help explain the secrets of the Merge, including the whereabouts of those still missing.”

— Alfonzo Frohicky and Zane, "Wyldly Inappropriate"

The portal gates are mystical portals that provide entry to the Merged Realms. They are renowned for their existence in a singular structure within each realm. Master Wu has a strong connection to them.

History

History[]

Background[]

After the Merge, which was caused by Wu in some manner, the realms were brought together, resulting in the formation of portal gates. The gates were built immediately following the completion of the Merge and were established in specific locations within each realm.^[1]

Before I Will Be the Danger[]

When Nya was in the Cloud Kingdom archives, Wu, in the form of a luminous yellow orb, led her to a portal gate, which sent her to the Monastery of Imperium.

I Will Be the Danger[]

Wu's orb led Kai to the Ninjago portal gate under the Monastery of Spinjitzu. This led to Kai meeting up with Nya inside the Monastery of Imperium.

The Battle of the Second Monastery[]

Nya suggested a plan to evacuate the dragons by utilizing the portal gate to return to Ninjago. Zane, however, highlighted that the portal gate was designed for smaller transports, meaning that they could not transport the dragons unless they acquire additional energy to power the gate. Following Lloyd's empowerment by the Source Dragon of Energy, he harnessed his augmented Energy to energize the portal gate, enabling them and the dragons to return to the Monastery of Spinjitzu.

Wyldly Inappropriate[]

Zane started investigating the gate that's under the monastery being extremely puzzled that he could not understand on how to open the gate.

Elements of Betrayal[]

After Nokt was drained of all the elemental powers, he and the Forbidden Five retreated to the portal gate that leads to the Cloud Kingdom. Ras tries to intervene, but Nokt knocks him out and drags him to the portal, wanting to take his revenge. Arin, still desperate to find his parents, goes after them before Nokt destroyed the gate to ensure they could not be followed. This resulted in Arin, Ras, and the Forbidden Five to end up being scattered across the Merged Lands. Cole went to the Cloud Kingdom and the monks told him that neither Arin or the Five came out of their portal.

The group succeeded and beating Drix to the First Land where he was heading to Thunderfang's prison.

Trivia

Trivia[]

Chris "Doc" Wyatt confirmed that there is one monastery and one gate in every realm.^[5]
- However, the Cloud Kingdom's portal gate is located in the Cloud Kingdom archives instead of a monastery.
  - Although, considering the Imperium monastery was located beneath its capital city before Zane brought it to the surface, it's possible it's the same for the monastery in the Cloud Kingdom, with it being accessible through the archives.
