Overview
Early life
Early life[]
Sora was born in the Kingdom of Imperium from her parents who named her Ana.
She grew up in the Imperian society ruled by the dictatorial regime of Empress Beatrix. Sora was very smart and inventive and was passionate about science and technology since she was little, but was often neglected by her parents for her prodigal mind. An avid fan of Dr. LaRow, Ana dreamed of working for her in the Advanced Systems Lab one day.
Ana wins the science fair
One time, Ana once broke down a vacuum cleaner to make a robot to do her chores. When her mother found out, she was so angry that Ana hid in the tunnels and ended up lost for two days. On another occasion, Sora became familiar with someone who was later arrested for seeing off-key in order to maintain the perfection of Imperian society.
Dr. LaRow approaches Ana with a job offer
When her latest invention, the Photac, won at her school's science fair, Dr. LaRow personally brought Ana to her lab to hire her. At the lab, Dr. LaRow showed Ana the source of Imperium's power, a dragon nicknamed Sora before doing upgrades to her device to make ferocious animals, as opposed to harmless ones.
Ana refuses to work for Dr. LaRow upon discovering the truth
Realizing that they were going to use her invention to hunt dragons and harm them in their quest to remain powerful, she refused to work for her.
Ana became the least popular student
This action caused her to be despised, shunned, and disowned upon by everyone in Imperium, including her parents, who eventually confiscated her work bench and inventions, demanding she'd find a new interest if she won't use her talents to help Imperium.
Ana runs away from home
While in her room, one day, The Merge occurred before a shockwave came soon after, and Ana discovered a new city in the distance. Deciding to run away from home, she takes her headphones, a few possessions, and changes her name to Sora, after the dragon. As a result of the Merge, Sora unknowingly ended up with the Elemental Power of Technology when the Source Dragon of Focus created it.
After the Merge
After the Merge[]
Crashing Together (flashback)[]
Arriving in Ninjago, Sora went to the Crossroads, a newly established neighborhood created as the home of those who had nowhere else to go following the Merge. Dying of hunger, Sora stole fruit from a Merlopian shopkeeper and ran away. The latter then sent people after her and in her escape Sora ran into a boy named Arin who was carrying pies and who had lost his parents in the Merge. Arin helped her camouflage herself by making her pass as a pie seller with him. Then he offered her some pie and they became friends. Getting used to the Crossroads customs, Sora then stayed there, moving in a penthouse with Arin. She also adopted her own look and started building things, starting to live the life she always dreamed. She also met Alfonzo Frohicky, with whom her and Arin became friends.
Sora would build inventions and mechs and she began participating in street mech races such as the Mech Master 5000 with Arin.
First Try![]
One day in the Crossroads, Sora and Arin spotted a poster advertising for the preliminary rounds of the Mech Master 5000. Desiring to enter, Sora brought Arin to Skalidor's Junkyard in search of parts. Amongst the offerings were half of Kai's Fire Mech, though the price Skalidor wanted for it were nothing short of outrageous! Sora though managed to haggle down the snake for half of the asking price but she was convinced to pay back the savings for a cart to haul all the other junk she bought back home.
Sometime later, Sora began constructing a new mech for the upcoming race with Arin's help. While her friend spoke highly about the ninja and how he dreamed of one day being one himself, Sora remained more focused on the present day reality of their lives. When the mech was finished, the teenagers participated in the preliminary rounds for the Mech Master 5000 with Sora behind the wheel. She explained to Arin that the three fastest racers would qualify for the actual race and instructed him to take control of the mech's arms to keep them safe from other racers. With Sora's maneuvering and Arin's defenses, the teens were able to outperform several of their competitors, but Arin lamented that they were unlikely to bypass Kreel, whose mech had been outfitted with all sorts of nasty surprises. Lobbo lost control over his mech shortly afterwards and smashed into the cockpit of Sora and Arin's mech, though the new hole allowed Arin to use his grappling gun to connect with Kreel's mech, towing them into second place!
Now that they qualified in the preliminary rounds, Sora and Arin walked off to make preparations for the Mech Master 5000, with Sora explaining her plans to develop a new transforming bike mech, one that could hopefully surpass even Kreel!
Tales from the Merged Realms[]
The Way In[]
To prepare for the Mech Master 5000, Sora and Arin worked together, using several rusty and heavily damaged parts they had scavenged in hopes of building a mech to race with. As they worked, Sora expressed her desire not only just to win, but to completely crush the competition, to leave them all in the dust and especially Kreel! No sooner than saying her rival's names, Kreel stepped into the teens' penthouse and commented on their work, boasting that she would win the race as always and that Sora didn't stand a chance. To further rub salt in the wound, Kreel turned to Sora specifically and let her know that the registration fee price had increased, knowing fully well that the teens couldn't afford it. After Kreel left their penthouse, an utterly defeated Sora was ready to give up, but Arin managed to talk her out of it.
The next day, Sora went dumpster diving in search of more parts, though she was only able to find a handful of gears, valves, and a suction tube in shoddy condition. Feeling defeated yet again, she sat about the penthouse she shared with Arin, feeling dejected while the latter baked a pie, hoping the sweet treat would cheer her up. When Arin finished his appleberry pie, Sora realized that they could use it in lieu of money for their registration fee and hastily got to work making some further improvements to her mech.
A few hours later, Sora participated in the Mech Master 5000. Although things seemed to shoot off to a great start for her, even managing to overtake Kreel for a few minutes, Sora's mech unfortunately began to collapse due to the shoddy quality of its construction materials. In the end, Sora finished in last place but didn't let the loss discourage her. Instead, she felt more determined than ever to continue to make improvements to her mech and hopefully start winning some races! In fact, there was another one for prize money only a week away!
Dragons Rising, Season 1
Dragons Rising, Season 1[]
The Merge: Part 1[]
While scrounging around the junkyard for parts, Arin distracts some guard dogs with his story about the Merge, even calling him out for proclaiming himself as a ninja, since he doesn't have a master, before finding a spark plug, until they were spotted by Security Bots. They manage to evade them when Sora reprograms them to dance and return to their penthouse, where they make plans to participate in the Mech Master 5000. The following morning, after bribing Mr. Frohicky with a pie, Sora and Arin participate in the race and were close to winning, when a blast occurred at the finishing line, and a baby dragon appeared out of the hole it caused before moving to try and escape the Claws of Imperium. Choosing to abandon the race, Sora and Arin rescue the dragon and try to get away, but a rival racer's early sabotage knocks their racer off the bridge before the dragon makes contact with Sora, passing something to her, which soon made her turn her disassembled racer into a mech. Upon returning to the bridge, Sora and Arin try to fight the hunters, only to be incapacitated by the untimely arrival of Lord Ras. On a train bound for Imperium, Sora and Arin talk about their situation, until they hear a noise and look up to see the roof hatch coming off, and their savior making his presence known: Green Ninja, Lloyd Garmadon.
The Merge: Part 2[]
Sora and Arin are rescued by Lloyd, who coerces an Imperium Claw to slice their cuffs before knocking him out and exit the car. On the roof, they end up ambushed by Rapton and some Claws before Sora tries to use her new discovered powers, only to have no effect. Realizing she'll need the dragon, Arin heads for the car he was kept in before he transferred energy to her and she uses her powers to inadvertently turn the Imperium Claws' swords into bomb, and quickly jump as they explode. Getting acquainted with Lloyd, Sora believes they need to warn the dragon's herd before seeing the baby dragon make a sculpture of his home. Heading to the Monastery of Spinjitzu, the dragon finds a scroll of its home: The Land of the Three Mountains.
With Kai having taken the Destiny's Bounty, they prepare to take the new one, but Lloyd hadn't had a chance to tune the engine before Sora, despite having no assistance from the dragon, works on it by hand, humming as she did so. After getting them to work, Lloyd, Sora, and Arin head for the mountains, during which, Sora and Arin kept the baby dragon entertained by playing with him, using Jay's old nunchucks, only to discover the Claws had followed them, and take out the Bounty. Thankfully, they are rescued by the dragon's matriarch, who drops the Bounty, to Sora's annoyance, before the dragon accuses them of harming the baby dragon, whose name is revealed to be Riyu. However, Riyu managed to talk the matriarch down before spotting the Claws going after the herd and move to protect them. After saving one, Rapton grabs her and prepares to drop her off the cliff, only to be saved by the matriarch, who was then caught. Lloyd then had the matriarch transfer some energy to him to take out the Claws. As the dragons prepare to relocate, Sora and Arin say their goodbyes to Riyu, only for him wanting to stay with them as she and Arin are soon made Lloyd's students.
Crossroads Carnival[]
Now residing in the monastery, Sora, Arin, and Riyu made the recreation room as their bedroom.
When woken up by Lloyd, Sora was the only one unhappy about being woken up for training at an early hour and wants field training, to which Arin instantly knew she wanted to go to the Crossroads Carnival, to which Lloyd wouldn't allow it before, after having trouble due to faulty gears, revealing the training course. He intended to time them with a cup of tea, but had burnt it, leading to Sora wondering why before Lloyd showed them a shrine to dedicate his uncle, Wu, and tried to show them he grew a beard, but only sees a sprouting tiny hair before they start training. While Arin did exceedingly well, Sora, due to slight sleep deprivation, was rag-dolled, hitting a wall, tossed into the pond, jabbed in her rear end by Lloyd, and bounced about on platforms.
As the day came to an end, an irritated Sora voiced her complaints to Arin as they sat in the Monastery, wondering if every day of training was going to be like today. Believing that they were deserving of a break, Sora suggested that she and Arin ought to sneak out to the Crossroads Carnival. Although her friend was hesitant at first, Sora managed to convince him by insisting that sneaking out would be a test of their stealth skills and that Arin's pie smelled like a first place winning one to her! When Riyu expressed interest in tagging along, Sora agreed to bring him with them, though she noted that he would need a disguise.
Sometime later, Sora, Arin, and Riyu marveled their way across the carnival, pointing out various sights and wonders as Arin submitted his pie into the pie-baking contest. Unfortunately, the teens' sense of wonder and amusement would be broken by the arrival of Kreel's Whack Rats, who wasted no time in kidnapping Lobbo as the robot was sharing the prize money he had won from the Mech Master 5000. Although Arin quickly followed in pursuit with his grapple gun, Sora's attention was dragged towards the remains of her SA Mark 01 by Riyu. Despite initially protesting that repairing the mech would take hours at best, Sora was given a powerup from Riyu and immediately reconfigured it into a motorbike, giving her the speed necessary to chase down Kreel's goons.
After arriving in Kreel's Junkyard, Sora briefly fought against several Whack Rats on her bike, briefly pausing after defeating them to remark in surprise that she actually used some of the skills Lloyd had tried to teach her and Arin earlier that morning. When Kreel lamented that her friend Targle had been kidnapped, Sora and Arin cut her a deal: in exchange for rescuing Targle, Kreel would leave Lobbo and his money alone. Kreel agreed and provided the teenagers with the location of the drop point that she was supposed to meet the kidnapper at.
Following the information given to them by Kreel, Sora and Arin made their way to a back alley where Riyu discovered a strange lever hidden behind a dumpster. With a strong pull, the lever revealed the entrance to a hidden lair which the teens ventured deeper into. There, they discovered Targle and several other Whack Rats imprisoned inside of a cage with their tormentor being none other than the famed pyrotechnician and showrunner, Dorama! After initial attempts of talking to the deranged thespian failed, the latter activated his theater's many traps and weapon systems in an effort to kill Sora and Arin, occasionally siphoning energy from the Whack Rats into his staff to blast them with as well. Now stuck on a sliding conveyor belt while dodging swinging pendulum axes and bursts of fire, Sora took a moment to lament that Lloyd was right earlier and there really are times where one would find themselves needing obstacle course training in real life. Although she made strong efforts to avoid the many deadly weapons of Dorama's obstacle course, Sora eventually fumbled and braced herself as a jet of flame erupted towards her, only to be blocked by one of the swinging axe blades as Arin shut down the obstacle course.
Unfortunately, the battle was far from over and Dorama unveiled his massive puppet to attack the teenagers with. Even with Lloyd's timely arrival, the puppet managed to grab Sora and squeezed her tightly as it lifted her into the air. Struggling for breath, Sora desperately tried to fight her way out from the marionette's grasp, but found herself unable to do so. Luckily, an improvised attack from Arin followed by Lloyd's recollection of Sora's earlier comments, managed to down the puppet and release her from its grasp.
With Dorama defeated and the Whack Rats rescued, Sora returned to Kreel's Junkyard with her allies. After returning Targle to Kreel, Sora apologized to Lloyd for taking his meditation carpet and expressed hope that all three of them would be able to find a way to work together in time. With master and students reacquainted, the group made their way over to see the results of the pie-baking contest and Lloyd agreed to his students' plans for a snack tour throughout the carnival - though not without the reminder that training resumed at dawn tomorrow, eliciting a weary groan from Sora.
Beyond Madness[]
In the morning, Sora struggled to activate her Elemental Power, grumbling to herself all the while. Overhearing Lloyd and Arin's conversation, Sora pessimistically remarked that she had nothing to relearn, for she had learned nothing to begin with. Although Lloyd offered some words of encouragement, Sora dismissively remarked that she likely borrowed Riyu's powers rather than possessing a power of her own. After all, who had heard of a "tech" power before anyway? Before the conversation could continue, Sora noticed that Riyu was acting up about something, prompting all to turn and spot the Destiny's Bounty soaring towards the monastery. While Arin and Lloyd smiled at the sight, a confused Sora asked what she was supposed to be looking at, to which Lloyd replied that the arrival of the Bounty must have meant that Kai's mission was a success! Unfortunately, as the Bounty drew closer, Sora and the others realized that the ship was actually losing altitude, and it was on fire - all hints that led Sora to snarkily remark that perhaps Kai's mission was actually not a success.
Almost immediately, Lloyd and Arin hopped down towards the falling ship to investigate, leaving Sora behind. After a brief moment of hesitation, Sora hopped in her mech and followed, landing just in time to suggest that they all might wanted to steer away from the many mountains in the Bounty's path. With the steering jammed, Sora descended into the engine room to inspect the damages and called for Riyu to bring her the toolbox. After being smacked by the toolbox when Riyu knocked it down the engine room, Sora made some quick adjustments and fixed the steering just enough for them all to avoid an immediate collision. With the ship as stabilized as possible, Sora followed Lloyd into investigating the rest of the damaged ship for clues as to what had happened to Kai. After discovering a series of notes left behind by the Master of Fire, the group set off in the new Bounty in search for him. As they traveled, Lloyd cautioned his students that there was the possibility that Kai's disappearance was actually a trap set for them by potential enemies seeking to destroy them - a notion Sora thought was hilarious until Lloyd clarified he wasn't joking, much to Sora's horror.
Eventually, Sora and her allies arrived in the Land of Madness, with Sora almost immediately pointing out a battle taking place between a pair of Earth Dragons and strange rock monsters she was unfamiliar with. Believing the dragons were in trouble, Sora hopped into her mech and immediately descended from the Bounty alongside Arin to take part in the battle. Unfortunately, it soon turned out that they had joined up with the wrong side, for the Craglings were actually the ones being attacked by the dragons! Shortly thereafter, Sora and her allies were approached by a young woman whom Sora also did not recognize, but both Arin and Lloyd knew as being Nya, the Master of Water. Following introductions, Nya introduced them all to King Crag-Nor who invited them all to enjoy an authentic Cragling feast of mud - revolting Sora who struggled not to throw up and reluctantly tried only after watching Arin happily devour the food. Sora then listened on as Nya explained to the others what had happened to her following the Merge and how she got involved with the conflict between the Craglings and the Earth Dragons. Following the story, Arin exclaimed that Kai was his favorite ninja, prompting Sora to shoot him a look.
Shortly thereafter, the group reunited with Kai, only to discover that he had brought both very angry Earth Dragons with him to the Cragling Village. After briefly watching the older ninja struggle against the Earth Dragons, Sora requested a spark from Riyu to trigger her powers and upgrade her mech. She then teamed up with Nya to provide an aerial platform for the latter to attack from, but not long later, Sora lost control over her powers, leading to the collapse of her mech. Later, after Riyu's defeat of the Earth Dragons, Sora stood alone while the others celebrated their victory. Quietly attempting to fix her mech, Sora overhead the discussion Lloyd was having with Nya and Kai and bitterly remarked to herself that she was not cut out to be a ninja and that Lloyd was wasting his time with her.
Writers of Destiny[]
During the process of rebuilding the SA Mark 01, Sora reflected on her own Elemental Powers and considered the possibility that they could belong to Riyu instead. However, Lloyd offered reassurance by confirming that Sora indeed possessed her powers. Amid their conversation, Arin chimed in and mentioned how he was somewhat of a fan of the ninja. Sora interrupted by sharing an anecdote about Arin's obsession with the ninja, recounting the time he attempted to emulate Zane's hairstyle. Sora's attention was abruptly drawn to the Cloud Kingdom as it appeared to be drifting towards them. As they drew nearer, Sora witnessed a MergeQuake taking place, resulting in the fusion of the Cloud Kingdom with a realm teeming with tentacled beasts. Amidst the ensuing pandemonium, two Ice Dragons arrived and launched a fierce assault on the monstrous beings. Sora was surprised at the sight of dragons within the kingdom, prompting Euphrasia to enlighten her about the Ice Dragons seeking refuge in the Cloud Kingdom for their safety. Under Lloyd's instructions, Sora took control of the Sa Mark 01 to ensure the safety of the people. She activated the mech and prepared to face the monster without relying on any Elemental Powers. As she blocked a tentacle with her mech, she realized that the creature was even slimier than it appeared, making it feel like she was fighting a tongue. However, her attempt to defend herself was futile as the monster threw her away, leaving her vulnerable. Sora noticed a group of monks writing but they didn't respond to her urging to get to safety. Before she could continue, the monster grabbed her again. Nya and Kai come to the rescue, using their Spinjitzu to push the monster back to the MergeQuake. Despite Arin's hopes that their plan would work, Sora said that they wouldn't be able to witness the outcome if it failed. The monster was sent back to its realm, but it dropped Sora and Arin, leaving them powerless and vulnerable. As they plummet toward the ground, they suddenly start hovering, lifted by the Elemental Power of Wind.
As the ninja approached the Cloud Monks, they were met by Suetonius, the Master Writer of the Cloud Kingdom. Suetonius anticipated gratitude from the ninja for their heroic act of saving them. However, Sora informed him that it was the ninja who had rescued them while the Cloud Monks were preoccupied with their writing duties. Suetonius, in defense of the Cloud Monks, explained that they were the Writers of Destiny, and whatever they inscribed in their scrolls had the power to manifest in reality. Sora found that assertion difficult to accept and questioned the authenticity of such a claim. Lloyd interjected and pointed out that the writers only took responsibility for shaping fate when it suited their interests. To find a solution to their current predicament, Nya proposed consulting the Cloud Kingdom archives to seek information on how to stop MergeQuakes. Suetonius encouraged the ninja to explore the vast collection of writings held by the Cloud Monks and assigned Marcus to guide them to the library. Lloyd decided to conduct further investigations with Kai and Nya and requested Sora and Arin to remain behind and monitor the situation.
Sora was frustrated as she surveyed the wreckage of her mech. She felt overwhelmed and incapable of fixing it. Reflecting on the situation, she couldn't help but think that Arin should have been allowed to accompany the others on their mission. Arin asked her what she meant. Sora explained that he had taught himself Spinjitzu, and in her eyes, he had the potential to become a ninja more than anyone else, including herself. She acknowledged that she possessed an Elemental Power, but she often struggled to control it. Sora admitted that she believed it would be better for everyone if she refrained from using her powers altogether, as she couldn't seem to control them effectively. Arin extended a heartwarming gesture towards Sora by offering her a hug, which she gratefully accepted as a sign of his support and friendship. However, their conversation was abruptly halted when Arin's attention was drawn to Euphrasia, the girl who had previously saved them by using Wind.
Upon Euphrasia's exit from a building, Sora and Arin immediately confront her. Sora took the initiative to expose Euphrasia as a Wind Elemental by commenting on the powerful winds. However, Euphrasia denied the claim, stating that she could not possess such powers as she hailed from the Cloud Kingdom. Sora, persisting in her belief, informed Euphrasia that she was indeed an Elemental Master. Euphrasia countered by explaining that the Cloud Monks, like herself, solely utilize words to shape destiny, while Elemental Masters rely on actions to impact the world. Sora empathized with her concerns, acknowledging the intimidating nature of her newfound abilities, and suggestsedthat the ninja can provide her with the necessary training. Euphrasia, however, revealed her apprehension about possessing powers, as it would result in her exile from the Cloud Kingdom, therefore losing the entire way of life she held dear. Later on, the ground trembled once again, signaling the reappearance of the monster from the MergeQuake. Sora recalled Lloyd's earlier advice, emphasizing the need to contact him in case anything goes wrong. Arin, attempting to reach out to the ninja, found that they were unresponsive. So he decided to search for them himself, leaving Sora behind.
Sora tried to repair her mech but failed. Despite Riyu's suggestion, she worried that her actions would only make things worse. Suddenly, the monster attacked the Bounty, but Euphrasia stepped in to push it away with her powers. Euphrasia used her powers to push the monster back. However, a second monster emerged from the MergeQuake and grabbed Euphrasia with a tentacle. Sora received some of Riyu's dragon energy, which allowed her to reconfigure her mech and save Euphrasia from the monster's grasp. With the two of them working together, Sora and Euphrasia attack the monsters and vow to shut down the MergeQuake before more creatures can come through. Just as they were fighting, Arin and the ninja arrived. Arin landed on Sora's mech and asked if she received the dragon energy from Riyu. Sora confirmed that she did, and Arin explained that he had been busy freeing the ninja from the Scroll-Worms. Sora was skeptical of his explanation, but they all continued to fight the monsters together. The ninja worked together to push the monsters back into the MergeQuake and close it, averting the fusion of the Cloud Kingdom with the monsters' realm. Arin questioned Sora about the idea of refraining from using her powers for the betterment of the world. Sora, on the other hand, was still uncertain about her role as a ninja but mentioned being motivated by Euphrasia's example to actively assist others. Nya remained in the Cloud Kingdom while Sora and the other ninja traveled back to Ninjago using the Destiny's Bounty.
Return to Imperium[]
Confronting the Claws of Imperium in the Crossroads junkyard, Sora discovered her old invention, the Photac, had resurfaced. After returning to the monastery, Sora plans to return and disable it, only for Arin to insist on joining her, followed by Lloyd. After their hectic entrance through the sewage system, Sora led Lloyd and Arin to the Security Station, where she hacked the computer to put up fake IDs, Sora going with her name, as well as "Surname," and change into some spare clothes and added markings to their faces. However, their cover was instantly blown when a guard spotted they weren't wearing shoulder pads and were sent to the Public Shaming Platform, where Sora was embarrassed as her parents will know she's back. Before they could be screened, Riyu creates a diversion for Sora to sneak into Dr. LaRow's lab and destroy the Photac, only to be confronted by Dr. LaRow herself, who addresses her by her real name.
Mindless Beasts[]
When confronted by Dr. LaRow, Sora was reminded of her return to Imperium due to the reappearance of the Photac. However, she firmly insisted on being addressed by her new name, highlighting the uncanny resemblance between herself and the dragon. Sora was informed that Beatrix's desire to utilize the Photac had grown stronger after the Merge, as it would aid Imperium in hunting down more dragons. Sora expressed surprise that Dr. LaRow had figured it out, considering her lack of expertise in exotic photovoltaic positrons. Dr. LaRow teased Sora about her spirited attitude, prompting her to explain how she had to grow up on the Crossroads after being betrayed by her former idol. Sora questioned why Dr. LaRow hadn't come for her, to which she responded that she knew Sora would return on her own and that Imperium needed her assistance in initializing the copied Photacs. She requested Sora to activate them, but Sora adamantly refused to let her invention be used to harm dragons. Expecting such a response, Dr. LaRow revealed dragon Sora and Dorama, who had reactivated the original Photac. Dorama threatened to harm the dragon if Sora didn't comply. Dr. LaRow questioned Sora's loyalty, to which she reluctantly agreed to help. Sora activated a Photac, causing a bright light that allowed the two Soras to escape.
In their pursuit of an escape route, the two Soras continued their search. However, Sora, who had been absent from Imperium for a long time, struggled to recall the layout of the building. Determined to find the cafeteria, they unintentionally stumbled upon the storage facility, where they encountered Rapton and four Claws Hunters. Asserting her authority, Sora declared herself as the Elemental Master of Technology and threatened to unleash her powers upon them. Rapton, however, challenged her to prove her abilities by using her powers against a Weapon Drone, promising her and dragon Sora's freedom in return. Sora, lacking the assistance of Riyu's dragon power, attempted to tap into her element. Recalling Lloyd's advice about her True Potential, she managed to briefly harness her powers, but struggled to maintain full control. With no other choice, Sora fought the Claws, but was defeated. Upon Sora's return to the Advanced Systems Lab, Ras blackmailed her, claiming that dragon Sora's energy would be depleted unless she activated the copied Photacs. While working on a Photac, Dr. LaRow taunted Sora, pleased that she was helping Imperium. Dr. LaRow believed that Sora now understood that she couldn't stop them and that Imperium would soon be able to capture all the dragons, including the Source Dragons. Sora was confused by the mention of Source Dragons, but she completed the Photacs. Overwhelmed with regret, Sora questioned what she had done.
I Will Be the Danger[]
After the Photacs were activated, the Claws of Imperium used them to halt the dragon breakout, which greatly frustrated Sora. Taking advantage of Dr. LaRow's distraction, Sora swiftly incapacitated LaRow with a Photac before facing Dorama. Sora managed to manipulate Dorama into striking the control panel, resulting in his own electrocution. Consequently, dragon Sora was liberated from her confinement. With a heartfelt embrace, the two Soras successfully escaped from the Advanced Systems Lab and rejoined Lloyd and Arin. However, Arin felt ashamed of Sora's involvement in activating the replicated Photacs. Sora proceeded to explain her actions and reassured them that she can permanently deactivate the Photacs using Technology. Furthermore, Sora disclosed her need for dragon power from Riyu, only to be surprised by Arin's revelation that Riyu was nowhere to be found. Determined, Sora and Arin left to find Riyu.
The Calm Inside[]
Sora and Arin went back to the Security Station in order to find where Riyu is. Lloyd informed Sora that if they can't find Riyu, she would have to shut down the Photacs without his dragon energy. Sora mention that she never been able to use Technology on her own. Lloyd reminded Sora of her True Potential, but Sora questioned if it's as true as Lloyd thought. Suddenly, Sora later found out that Riyu was taken to the Imperium Palace and they started heading towards there. While heading towards the palace, Sora and Arin discussed their plan to sneak past the Imperium Guards. Sora was confident that their ninja stealth training would help them get past the guards easily, as most of them were busy dealing with the dragon breakout. However, Arin reminded Sora that they haven't received any formal stealth training from Lloyd. Sora argued that their previous experience sneaking out to the Crossroads Carnival counted as informal training. As they attempt to sneak past the guards, Arin tripped and get caught by the guards, prompting Sora to comment that he clearly didn't learn anything from their previous training. They were able to trick some guards by lying that Arin tripped because he was uspet by people who appalled the Imperium Guards' shoulder pads. As it worked, Sora, reflecting on the peculiar nature of her homeworld, asked about the cause of Arin's stumble. However, Arin dismissed the topic, not wanting to delve into his own clumsiness. They were able to get into the palace but couldn't reach Riyu due to the Empress and Ras being in the palace. Giving the information to their master Lloyd, Lloyd stated that he'll create a diversion to cause the Empress and Ras to leave the palace. The Monastery of Imperium shakes the city as Sora and Arin attempted to use the shaking as a distraction to reach Riyu. Only for Jordana, Dr. LaRow assistant, to catch them and pushed them away. Jordana expressed her relief as the long-awaited day had finally arrived, bringing with it the opportunity to put an end to her and Sora's rivalry. However, Sora was perplexed by Jordana's mention of a rivalry, questioning if they had met before. Jordana later took both their communicators and destroyed them and made them unable to contact Lloyd.
The Battle of the Second Monastery[]
While restrained, Sora reluctantly confessed to Arin that her birth name was Ana, which surprised and embarrassed Arin. Dr. LaRow then revealed her knowledge of Sora using Riyu's dragon power, implying that Sora was taking advantage of Riyu. Sora vehemently denied these accusations, stating that Riyu willingly shared his power with her. Dr. LaRow tried to manipulate Sora further by drawing parallels between their uses of dragon power, suggesting that Sora had absorbed more knowledge than she realized. Dr. LaRow activated her communicator, showing the intense battle between dragons and Photacs outside, leaving Sora and Arin in shock. Just as Dr. LaRow threatened to make them witness the fate of their friends, a sudden disturbance interrupted the scene, causing confusion and speculation among the group. Sora believed it was a MergeQuake, and as the ground shook, the emergence of the Monastery of Imperium brought a glimmer of hope, symbolized by the determination of the ninja. Sensing a shift in the situation, Sora embraced this newfound hope, inspiring Arin to take action against the scientists.
Jordana issued a warning to Sora, claiming that she would never be able to escape from her. Sora questioned Jordana's identity. This led Jordana to reveal that she used to be one of Sora's classmates, driven to surpass Sora's accomplishments since the science fair. Struggling to recall Jordana's identity, Sora questioned if her hair had been a different color back then, only to be met with a firm denial from Jordana. Sora and Arin sought refuge from Jordana's attacks. Arin's mind drifted back to the training sessions with Lloyd, where they honed their skills in the obstacle course, while Sora remembered the long hours spent practicing tirelessly. As they dodged Jordana's strikes, they managed to use her own weapon to break free from their handcuffs. Despite Jordana's menacing threats, Sora couldn't help but wonder about her identity. Just when they were on the brink of reaching Riyu, Ras suddenly appeared, presenting them with a choice to surrender or face certain doom. Defiantly, they chose to fight back, with Sora hurling the Imperium Sword at Ras, initiating a fierce battle. Arin managed to trip Ras from behind while Sora distracted him. Ras retaliated by knocking Arin unconscious with his hammer and delivering a powerful punch to Sora. However, this action inadvertently led to Riyu breaking free from his cage, unleashing his dragon power and activating Sora's Elemental Powers. Seizing the opportunity, Sora used her powers to trap Ras inside Riyu's cage, rendering him immobile. With Arin regaining consciousness and bewildered by the sudden turn of events, Sora reminded him of their primary mission and they swiftly made their way outside, deactivating the Photacs and heading towards the monastery's portal gate without hesitation.
After a few days, Sora was honing her Elemental Powers on the SA Mark 01, with Riyu observing. Suddenly, Lloyd arrived, catching Sora's attention immediately. Lloyd was surprised as he noticed Sora practicing alone. Sora hesitated for a moment before explaining that she was uncertain whether Technology belonged to her or Riyu, but she felt a sense of duty to use them. She was eager to explore the possibilities that lay ahead. Lloyd inquired about the whereabouts of the rest of the group, to which Sora speculated that they might be at the newly established dragon stables. The mention of the dragon stables piqued Lloyd's interest, prompting Sora to reveal that Wyldfyre and some of the liberated dragons had chosen to remain there.
The Temple of the Dragon Cores[]
Sometime after freeing the dragons, Sora rode on her dragon namesake as she accompanied the other ninja to close a MergeQuake, where she rescues Gus when he falls from a car that almost went over due to the events. After returning to the monastery, Sora tells Arin that his wonder about the dragon stables is not some part of a cosmic plan. The following morning, she and Arin watch Lloyd attempt to lecture them on keeping the monastery maintained. Later on, Sora crashes into the monastery wall Lloyd had just fixed while in her mech. A little later, she and the other ninja try to stop Kai and Wyldfyre from fighting with Sora and Nya holding back Wyldfyre until Zane stopped the two.
Learning the MergeQuakes were getting more frequent and Nya's studies led to the discovery of a temple, Sora, riding her dragon namesake again, accompanied the others to the Temple of the Dragon Cores, where they come across a door. After Kai's impatient instincts and Zane's studying, Sora, along with Arin and Wyldfyre, pull the door's levers simultaneously before entering. Upon reaching the main part, Kai and Wyldfyre use their powers to open the doors on each side of a large statue, which disturbed two spirits, who came out to attack them and their attempts to fight back proved futile. When Lloyd rearranged an altar in front of the statue, the spirits eventually merge into one and began to explain that three Dragon Cores can prevent the MergeQuakes, and was surprised to hear her master was the grandson of the First Spinjitzu Master, something Lloyd didn't tell her.
Armed with the knowledge, they return to the monastery, where later that night, Sora and Arin manage to convince Lloyd to bring Alfonzo as Assistant Keeper of the Monastery.
Gangs of the Sea[]
In the hangar bay, the ninja gathered to discuss their plan for finding the Dragon Cores. Lloyd proposed splitting into three teams, but Nya interrupted, stating that she and Sora would form a team. Sora eagerly agreed and suggested that Riyu join them as well. With their teams decided, Nya, Sora, and Riyu prepared to begin their mission to retrieve the yellow Dragon Core. However, when Nya called out to Sora, the dragon appeared instead, causing confusion. Nya clarified that she meant human Sora, but both of them were still perplexed. Growing frustrated, Nya emphasized that both Soras were would go in the journey. And so, Nya, Riyu, and the two Soras set off towards the Pinnacle of Crystals.
Wyldly Inappropriate[]
Sora and Nya commence an expedition towards the Pinnacle of Crystals to claim the yellow Dragon Core. However, upon reaching their destination, they discovered that the Dragon Core was missing. Sora, recognizing the gravity of the situation, expressed concern over the implications of the unexpected turn of events.
The Last Djinn[]
As Sora, Nya, and Riyu continue their journey through an ancient tomb, Sora can't help but voice her growing concern over the shrinking size of the tunnels. Suddenly, they spot a skeleton impaled on a spike wall. With a touch of sarcasm, Sora remarked that their unwelcome reception was evident, referring to the booby trap spears that attacked them upon entering the tomb. Nya reminded Sora about the missing yellow Dragon Core. To aid them in their quest, Nya revealed that she has brought Seeker Stones borrowed from the Writers of Destiny. However, Sora can't help but be pessimistic about their chances. She predicted that even before they have a chance to use the Seeker Stones, they will fall into a pool of acid. Nya was puzzled by Sora's comment, prompting her to recount the series of unfortunate events she has encountered thus far. From the Photac being used to hunt dragons, dragging the ninja into battle with Imperium since the Mech Master 5000, and now the missing Dragon Core. Nya accidentally stepped on a tile, causing them to fall into a pit of acid, but she used her water powers to save herself, Sora, and Riyu. Sora remembered predicting the acid, but Nya corrected her, pointing out that the stones didn't fall into the acid. Nya emphasized the importance of never giving up or losing hope to the ninja. Sora admitted it's hard to remain hopeful when things go wrong, to which Nya responded that without hope, nothing can go right. Sora asked if it's a saying from Wu, but Nya clarified that it's her own, inspired by Wu's teachings beyond fighting.
Upon entering the burial vault, they admired its intricate design. Sora praised the interior design, while Nya credited the djinns' flair for showmanship. Sora initially mistook the djinn for a person, but Nya clarified that they were a magical race with wish magic, wiped out when Djinjago was destroyed. As they approached the altar, Nya attempted to arrange the Seeker Stones correctly, only to trigger a shockwave instead of revealing the core's location. Sora blamed her own bad luck for the setback, prompting them to consider other options and exit the tomb. They met up with dragon Sora and Jiro outside, where Sora delivers disappointing news to the dragons, setting a somber tone for the group. Dragon Sora let out a fierce roar, and Nya asks what was troubling her. Sora expresses her concern about the impending end of the world. However, Nya clarifies that she is referring to dragon Sora, calling her Sora One. This surprised Sora, who wondered why she wasn't called Sora One. Soon, Sora noticed the symbols on her and Nya's hands, and two Howlers appear, attacking the group. Sora engaged in close combat with one of the Howlers, but her efforts are interrupted when another Howler grabs her and throws her onto Nya. Dragon Sora carried Sora and Riyu, while Jiro carried Nya, taking them into a cave, where they encounter a djinn named Arrakore, who warns them about his magic. Sora then discovered that dragon Sora's real name was Zanth and that she is good friends with Arrakore. Arrakore explained that he and Zanth survived the destruction of Djinjago by being in different realms. Sora asked if Arrakore had been alone during that time, and Arrakore pointed out the lack of visitors and the old laundry in the cave as evidence. Sora suggested hanging up pictures to make the cave feel more like home, but Arrakore dismissed the idea, questioning the need to impress the rocks. Zanth then warned Arrakore about the Howlers, which piqued Sora's curiosity. Arrakore revealed that they were cursed by the Seeker Stones since they used them wrong, which explains why the Howlers were after them. Sora acknowledged Arrakore's expertise in wish magic, the only thing that could stop the Howlers. However, Arrakore disclosed that his wish magic was gone with Djinjago destroyed. Sora voiced her frustration, reminding Nya that she had previously cautioned her about being a harbinger of misfortune.
Sora, Nya, and the dragons geared up for battle against the Howlers, with Sora questioning Arrakore's lack of support. Despite Arrakore's discouragement, Sora remained determined, pointing out that ninja never quit. When a Howler threatened Riyu, Sora intervened but was overpowered. She was disappointed in Arrakore's reluctance to assist, prompting her to reflect on her own attitude. Nya reminded Arrakore that no one is truly powerless, leading him to notice the sand around his necklace growing. Sora explained that hope was the key to unlocking his powers, likening it to a wish. The group's hope to defeat the Howlers was to restore Djinjago, with Arrakore realizing the importance of hope. Sora requested his help, and Arrakore revealed that his magic could only be activated through wishes. Nya and Sora made wishes for Arrakore to aid them in defeating the Howlers, unleashing his powers and ultimately dispelling the threat.
They Call It Doom[]
Sora, Nya, and Riyu made final preparations before leaving. Sora was gratitful towards Arrakore for not only his exceptional cooking skills but also his talent in singing. Arrakore elaborated on the importance of celebrating their victory over the Howlers through feasting and singing heroic songs, which not only boosted morale but also allowed him to slowly replenish his strength to perform wish magic once again. Nya wished to find the yellow Dragon Core, prompting Arrakore to summon a arrowhead that would serve as a compass to lead them to the core's destination, causing the stone to grow in size. Despite the strain on his powers, Arrakore entrusted the arrowhead to Nya before the group set off on Zanth and Jiro, following the arrowhead's direction.
Upon their arrival in the Land of Lost Things, the enchanted compass malfunctions. While exploring the peculiar environment, they stumble upon a plethora of miscellaneous objects, highlighting the oddity of the place. Unexpectedly, various items start sprouting from a trash geyser, propelling Riyu into the air. In an attempt to catch Riyu, Sora inadvertently ends up with Riyu landing on top of her. Sora identified most of the items as originating from the Kingdom of Imperium. Just then, they notice Fritz and Spitz fleeing in the distance. Driven by curiosity, Sora, Nya, and Riyu embark on a pursuit to uncover the truth. However, their pursuit was interrupted by the arrival of an elemental Golem, who attacked them under the assumption that they were harming the children. Nevertheless, Nya's use of Spinjitzu caused the golem to stand down, leading them to discover that the golem was actually Cole.
Land of Lost Things[]
Sora was surprised to hear Nya talking about the Earth Ninja. She told Cole that she knew about him because Arin was a big fan of the ninja and mentioned how he tried to copy Zane's hairstyle once. Sora was curious about the Finders and was surprised when two of them, Fritz and Spitz, suddenly appeared behind her. She expressed her amazement at the existence of the Land of Lost Things, as she had always thought it was just a legend. Nya then brought up the yellow Dragon Core, which was also found in the Land of Lost Things. But their conversation was cut short by the arrival of the Hoarder, who attacked them. Sora asked Cole how all the lost items ended up in the valley, but he didn't know much about it. However, he pointed out a giant noodle cup in the distance. Following Fritz and Spitz, Nya, Sora, and Cole entered the cup, where they met Geo. Geo decided to distract the monster, while Cole created an escape tunnel for everyone to use. They watched as Geo used his own powers to fuse the cup with the Hoarder's hand. Eventually, Geo rejoined the group, leaving Sora in awe of his Elemental Powers.
The ninja and the Finders head towards the Rookery. Along the way, they admired Geo's sculptures. Sora shared how she used to create new technology from old junk, still believing that her Elemental Powers come from Riyu. They then talked about the new Elemental Powers created after the Merge, but the Hoarder's roar interrupted them. Geo reassured them they were safe in the Rookery. As they entered the Rookery, Cole told Sora and Nya about the Finders, who ended up in the Land of Lost Things after running away from home. Sora shared her own story of running away after the Merge. She believed that she would have been stranded in the Land of Lost Things if she hadn't met Arin. Sora noticed the machine that was keeping the Hoarder at bay. She identified it as Stone Age Imperium technology and was curious about its power source. Cole opened a door in the machine, revealing the yellow Dragon Core. Because the Finders couldn't leave the Land of Lost Things due to a mysterious fog, Sora proposed reconfiguring the machine with a different power source so they can take the yellow Dragon Core. Sora gave Nya and Cole a list of necessary parts for the plan while Geo would be the new power source if the plan was successful.
Sora began working on a machine while Geo watched, confused. She explained that the machine ran on dragon power and was fueled by a Dragon Core. Geo asked about Dragon Cores and how they related to his own abilities. Sora described how Dragon Cores restored balance in the world using dragon power and how they were connected to elemental powers, like Elemental Sparks. Sora suggested that Geo's power could be used to charge a new battery to function like a Dragon Core, but building it would be difficult. Geo was impressed with Sora's knowledge and asked if she had learned it in Imperium. Sora admitted that while Imperium was technologically advanced, it was not respectful towards its citizens and dragons. She shared that her family was unsupportive and unloving, which led her to leave. Geo related to Sora's experience, revealing that he left home due to the animosity between Munce and Geckles. He mentioned that he did not remember his parents, and Sora empathized with him. She expressed her wish to forget her parents and admitted that even if she were to save the world with the ninja, she believed her parents would still be disappointed in her. Geo commented that living in Imperium had taken a toll on Sora. She agreed, saying her belief that she may never be able to fully recover from the experience.
Sora finished working on the machine while Geo asked if it would hurt, but Sora was unsure because she didn't have much experience with it. Sora asked Riyu for help fixing the machine. Suddenly, Bonzle interrupted them with a warning about Dr. LaRow. Sora confronted Dr. LaRow, who wasn't surprised to see her in the Land of Lost Things. Dr. LaRow explained that the valley was used to dump failed experiments, which she believed Sora was one of. Sora disagreed and believed that broken things could be fixed and made stronger. Then, Dr. LaRow ordered her drones to attack, and they pinned Sora down. Dr. LaRow asked for Sora's opinion on the upgrades made to the drones, and Sora acknowledged their effectiveness and questioned where Dr. LaRow got the idea. Dr. LaRow denied stealing anyone else's work and claimed everything in the Advanced Systems Lab was legally hers. She criticized Sora's experiments and sent an Imperium Drone to retrieve the Dragon Core.
As Sora observed the Hoarder connecting a few Imperium Drones to its body, the sight made her realize that the Hoarder was Sweeper, known for its obsession with Imperium technology. Sora was instructed to get everyone out of the Rookery, but she had a different idea. She called out to the Hoarder, offering her interest in Imperium tech. With Riyu's help, Sora used her powers to disassemble the Hoarder's head, revealing Sweeper. As Sweeper was contained, Sora explained that Sweeper was a magnetic organism designed to clean Imperium Sewers, and she had realized that it was just searching for Imperium tech in the Land of Lost Things after being sent there. Geo thanked Sora, who then credited Riyu for powering her up.
Absolute Power[]
Sora, Nya, and Cole were discussing their plan to retrieve the yellow Dragon Core from Imperium, which was impossible to fly there by dragons due to the electric barrier. Sora suggested building a suit of weaponized armor for Jiro that would increase his natural energy and allow him to blast through the barrier. Nya was skeptical about the effectiveness of Sora's plan and asks if there was a better idea. Sora, however, was confident that the armor could work and was willing to give it a try. With Riyu's help, Sora used her Elemental Powers to construct the armor using scrap from the valley. After some time, Sora finished the armor and attached it to Jiro's back. She eagerly asked Jiro for his opinion, and he responded with a nuzzle, indicating his approval. Sora and Riyu quickly make their way toward Zanth, preparing to head to Imperium with Nya and Jiro.
We Are All Dragons[]
When Sora and Nya returned to Imperium, Sora mentioned the Imperians' belief in the utopian nature of their city, including her own parents. Nya suggested talking to her parents to convince them otherwise, but Sora dismissed the idea, knowing their unwavering faith in Imperium. As they talked, they saw a battle going and realized that the other ninja were confronted by Beatrix and the Claws as well. Sora had doubts about whether Jiro's armor could destroy the energy barrier. However, her concerns were quickly dismissed when she witnessed Jiro successfully destroy the barrier with his blasters and Lightning. During the battle, Sora approached Lloyd and asked about Imperium's theft of the remaining two Dragon Cores. Lloyd explained that they only managed to take the purple one. While the dragons were fighting Beatrix, Sora and the others used a dumpster chute to reach the Resistance's base.
When they arrived at the base, Sora was puzzled as she recalled Percival handing over Riyu to Beatrix before. Percival clarified that they had witnessed the ninja freeing the dragons, which contradicted Beatrix's denial of the event. This led them to investigate further and uncover a web of lies, including the death of Levo, to which Sora admitted to being unaware of at all. Percival proceeded to disclose that there were other Imperians who stood against Beatrix, and as a result, they suffered covert repercussions similar to what Levo and Zeatrix experienced, which were employed as a means to expel them from the kingdom. Furthermore, they possessed concrete evidence of Beatrix confessing to her deceitful actions. Sora questioned how the truth would be disseminated, considering Beatrix's control over information in Imperium. Percival revealed that they had an insider who can grant them access to the broadcast tower so they could hack through the encryption and stream their message to every screen in Imperium. Percival thought that Sora's arrival at that moment was destined because she had inspired them to take action. One of the teenagers then added that Sora's act of defying LaRow and Beatrix by leaving and resisting their control was unprecedented. Even though none of them had the skills to hack the broadcast encryption, they believed Sora could do it. After hearing their request, Sora agreed to join their cause, along with Arin and Riyu.
Percival led Sora, Arin, and Riyu to the broadcast tower with an insider's help. Sora was amazed that they had access to such a high-level clearance area. When they reached the top, they were surprised to see that Rapton was the insider. Sora was skeptical of Rapton's loyalty and suspected him of being a spy for Beatrix. However, Rapton assured them that he despised Beatrix and had information about her plan to activate her weapon. He asked if they trusted him, and although hesitant, Sora agreed to a temporary truce with Rapton. After Beatrix's deceitful actions were revealed, Sora acknowledged the progress and asserted that it was now her turn to take action. Addressing the Imperians, Sora revealed the truth that Beatrix has confirmed, exposing Imperium as a place that inflicted suffering upon dragons, rather than the idyllic paradise it had been portrayed as. Sora emphasized that the comfort and privilege enjoyed by the Imperians came at the expense of other living beings, a situation that cannot be allowed to continue. Furthermore, Sora exposed Beatrix's cruelty by sharing personal experiences of being used and discarded when she could no longer be controlled. Drawing a parallel between herself and the dragons, both of whom are seen as mindless beasts by Beatrix, Sora believed that the Imperians possessed a strength that Beatrix underestimated. Calling for a revolution, Sora urged everyone to rise up and fight for their freedom, declaring that they are all dragons. Sora and the others observed the protest unfolding before them. Percival stated that it was Sora's doing. However, Sora quickly corrected him, emphasizing that they all played a part in this. Sora proudly declared that they were all like dragons.
The Power Within[]
Sora left from the broadcast tower to rendezvous with the rest of the ninja, but along the way, she aided the Imperians in finding safety. Once reunited with the ninja, they battled against Beatrix. Unfortunately, they found themselves overpowered as Beatrix unleashed a barrage of MergeQuakes upon Imperium. Zane struggled to devise a plan to disarm Beatrix. However, Sora proposed using Riyu's Elemental Sparks to dismantle the MergeQuake weapon from a distance. Spotting Riyu, Sora urgently called out to him. Before Riyu can reach her, Beatrix fired a shot, triggering a MergeQuake that ensnared Riyu. Overwhelmed with grief, Sora desperately cried out for Riyu.
Soon, Sora discovered her parents. But, to her shock, they don't believe the truth and demand her to come with them as they were her family. Sora simply told them she had a new family before eventually reaching her True Potential, right in front of her parents, to destroy the MergeQuake weapon, giving Arin the opportunity to send Beatrix into a MergeQuake rift. Lloyd, acknowledging Sora's accomplishment, expresses his belief in her possession of Elemental Powers all along. Still saddened by Riyu's supposed loss, Sora admitted that she had believed she needed Riyu.
Suddenly, a storm begins and they all head for the Crossroads to save the people, Sora saving Lobbo. When Alfonzo brought the last Dragon Core over, Lloyd used all three to stabilize the merged realms, ending the MergeQuake storm and bringing back those pulled in by it, including Kai, Wyldfyre, Riyu, Rapton, and Percival.
After Lloyd and Riyu freed the Source Dragon from underneath Imperium, they came across Sora, who tries to use her powers on her own to fix her mech before eventually joining in on having Arin's pies with the other ninja.
The Elemental Mechs
The Elemental Mechs[]
What the Mech?[]
Sora, Kai, and Arin teamed up to participate in Kai's Super Awesome Slide Course, which Kai claimed was for training purposes. Sora was about to express her concern about Lloyd disapproving of their actions, but Kai interrupted her as they slid down the slide. While going through the course, they accidentally bumped into Cole. Cole informed Sora and the others about the dangerous shipment of items, including Chronosteel, to Ninjago. Sora became curious about what she could create with Chronosteel, as it had the ability to harness Elemental Power. Kai mentioned that Chronosteel was used to create the Time Blades, which had almost ruined all of history. Sora assured him that she had no intention of repeating that incident. Arin, knowing that Kreel had been advertising these items for days, suggested that they go to Kreel's Junkyard to warn her.
Despite Kreel's assurance that the shipped items were harmless, Lobbo's interaction with one of the objects resulted in him being electrocuted, transforming him. This incident prompted Sora to question Kreel's claim regarding the safety of the items. Enraged, Lobbo unleashed a series of relentless attacks. While the ninja attempted to hold Lobbo at bay, Sora caught sight of a Chronosteel block, which she had been hoping to find. She used the Chronosteel block to construct three mechs, assigned for Kai, Cole, and herself. Sora devised a plan for the ninja to subdue Lobbo, allowing her the opportunity to siphon the energy that altered him. As Arin pacified Lobbo, Sora drained the energy from him, successfully restoring him to his normal state. As the ninja confiscated the perilous items from Kreel, Kai suggested employing these dangerous items for his slide course, much to the disapproval of Sora and the rest of the group.
The Mech Master[]
Sora, Kai, Cole, Nya, Arin, and Riyu were heading towards the stands to watch the Mech Master 5000. Kai and Cole were indulging in a Snowberry Pie topped with Crème de Imperium, much to the disappointment of Arin who had just lost to Grab-Barg once again. Frustrated, Sora regreted not being able to enter the Mech Master 5000 on time due to being preoccupied with her ninja duties. Nya tried to comfort Sora by assuring her that there was always next year to participate in the race. As the racers prepare for the race, the Mechanic shows up after deactivating the mechs with an EMP device. Upon seeing the Mechanic, Sora questions if her is here to fix things, only to discover that the Mechanic is a criminal who has stolen the mechs. The ninja quickly steps in to stop the Mechanic, with Sora, Kai, and Cole using their Elemental Mechs to confront him. The Mechanic uses one of the stolen mechs to ram into the Elemental Mechs, causing them to break apart. While the remaining mechs deal with the ninja, Cole encourages Sora to pursue the Mechanic, knowing she is the fastest racer among them. Sora rebuilds her mech using parts from Cole's and Kai's mechs, then sets off in pursuit of the Mechanic.
Sora caught up to the Mechanic, who belittled her Tech Power and pushed her off the bridge. Using Kai's mech's legs as a boost, Sora returned to the bridge and destroyed the Mechanic's mech. Sora expresses her lack of admiration for the Mechanic, with Kai and Cole agreeing. Cole commented that Sora got her wish to race today, much to her delight. Later, they meet up with Nya, Arin, and Riyu. Arin told Sora that he and Riyu have brought Grab-Barg's pies and urged her to try one. Sora tasted a spoonful of Crème de Imperium and was impressed, calling it the best she's ever had. However, she noticed Arin's disappointment and amended her statement, calling it the second-best pie she's ever tried.
A Pain in the Mech![]
Sora, Arin, and Riyu joined Kai and Cole as they headed to witness the Crossroads' noodle cook-off. During the event, Cole boldly stated that Chen's Noodle House served better noodles compared to those at the Crossroads. However, Sora, taken aback by Cole's audacity, questioned his decision to bring outside food to the cook-off. Sora pointed out that it was considered offensive to bring food from another establishment to the competition. Sora attempted to persuade Cole to give the Crossroads' noodles a chance by tasting them, but Cole remained unimpressed by the flavors. In response, Sora pointed out that it was not her fault if Cole preferred bland noodles. However, their discussion was abruptly interrupted when the Ice Dragons launched an attack. Sora, Kai, and Cole quickly sprang into action by deploying their mechs to defend against the Ice Dragons. Their efforts were complicated when the Lava-Tides interfered by attacking the ninja. Sora took charge by restraining the Lava-Tides to prevent them from causing more chaos. To counter the Lava-Tides, Sora made a strategic move by swapping her mech's legs and arm with Cole's mech's. She used the Elemental Earth Mech's leg to throw the Lava-Tides off-balance and then exchanged arms with Kai to restrain the second Ice Dragon. Following the chaos, it was revealed that Lava-Tony had stolen the Ice Dragons' eggs to use in his noodles as a secret ingredient. Riyu pushed Lava-Tony against his oven, causing his noodles to scatter everywhere. Sora and the team swiftly returned the stolen eggs to the Ice Dragons before making their way back to the Monastery of Spinjitzu. Upon their return, Lloyd eagerly awaited an explanation for the events that had unfolded. Once the ninja clarified the situation, Sora and Cole finally had the chance to enjoy some Crossroads' noodles that had been mixed in with Chen's.
Dragons Rising, Season 2
Dragons Rising, Season 2[]
The Blood Moon[]
Sora carried a kid on her back away from a burning building in the Crossorads, while she was being filmed by NinjaFanInfinity and SpinjitzuForDays99. She later turned Lobbo's mech into a DJ set, immediately initiating a party alongside Arin, Wyldfyre, and Riyu.
Sometime later, Sora walked into the hanger bay, finding Arin and Riyu watching a broadcast from Intelligent George. Using her powers, Sora halted the screen broadcast and began changing the channels to mess with her friends. When they turned around in realization, Sora laughed as she made her presence known and released her control over the screens. Although Arin expressed he was happy that Sora now had control over her powers, she noticed he seemed distraught and reminded him that although he did not have powers, it did not mean he was not an important member of the team. She then tried to cheer Arin up, assuring him that they would find his parents and suggesting that he could use a break. Rather than let her friend continue to watch Intelligent George, whom Sora was also quite dismissive of, she suggested that the two should get some training done in the courtyard, believing it would raise Arin's spirits. Rushing through the halls, the three knocked down several paintings much to Mr. Frohicky's dismay, though Sora insisted that they would clean it up later. After reaching the courtyard, Sora briefly glanced at the note that had been left for her and Arin, exclaiming in surprise that it had been given to them by Kreel, and weirder still, Kreel had signed off with, "your friend." Turning their attention away from the note for now, the teenagers activated the training course and discovered Lloyd fast asleep within it - shocking them both.
The next day, Sora and Arin went to Kreel's junkyard to see what the proprietor needed ninja assistance with. Kreel explained that someone had been breaking into her junkyard and several other stores around the Crossroads at night for several days now, but in every instance, while things may have been scattered or out of place, nothing was ever stolen; and as if this behavior wasn't perplexing enough, there were no signs of break-ins or security system activations in any of these incidents either! Sora was at first dismissive of Kreel's claims, suggesting that if there were no signs of break-ins and if the security cameras weren't picking up anything, then perhaps Kreel was simply overreacting? After Kreel pushed back on Sora's suggestion and explained that she had recently begun offering antiquities as well and that the other stores reporting break-ins carried similar items, Kreel requested a selfie with Sora and Arin to promote her junkyard with, describing the three of them as "best friends." Unlike Arin, who flashed a wide smile when Kreel took the photo, Sora reacted with a grimace, clearly disgusted by the thought of being "best friends" with Kreel. Later, Sora and Arin decided to continue investigating the break-ins on their own and decided to conduct a stakeout in the Crossroads without assistance from any of the older ninja, bringing only Riyu along with them. To justify their reasoning, Sora noted that the break-ins were likely a hoax and Lloyd needed his rest.
Later that night, the teenagers and Riyu investigated every single antique store in the Crossroads, learning that each of them had already been targeted but had the same story as Kreel. With no hints towards potential suspects, both teenagers were about ready to give up until Arin caught sight of a new store that was just opening: the All-Realm Antiques Emporium. After stocking up on noodles, the teenagers sat on a roof and carefully watched the Emporium, awaiting the arrival of the thief. As they waited, Sora listened carefully as Arin spoke again about his insecurities and tried to offer counterpoints to reassure her friend with, though the conversation would be interrupted by the sight of a strange man approaching the locked doors of the Emporium. Watching carefully, the teenagers reacted in surprise as the man suddenly vanished, leaving behind only clouds of...smoke?!
In the street moments later, the man materialized outside of the Emporium carrying a large mallet. Springing into action, Arin, Sora, and Riyu confronted him, with Sora warning that he was outnumbered. In response, the man smugly stated he did not come alone and was backed up by two Wolf Mask Warriors. A fight soon broke out as Sora and Arin attempted to fight the new Master of Smoke, though they were heavily outmatched by this dangerous new opponent. At one point in the battle, Cinder, the Master of Smoke, kicked Sora into a nearby stall. While Arin and Riyu fought against Cinder, Sora shifted her priorities to his henchmen and chased after them as they attempted to escape with the mallet. Lloyd arrived shortly thereafter and put Cinder on the defensive, though he soon froze in place, allowing for the crooks to escape. Arin and Sora were left to help their master, whose eyes were wide with shock and shouting over and over, "The blood moon is coming!"
Shattered Dreams[]
The ninja deliberated on Lloyd's premonitions concerning the Wolf Mask Warriors and the Blood Moon. Sora emphasized that just because they were visions, it didn't necessarily mean they were inevitable, highlighting the importance of taking control of their own fate. Intrigued by Ras' interest in acquiring the Mallet of Shattering, the ninja were eager to uncover the reason behind it. Sora proposed that they visit All-Realm Antiques Emporium in order to gather more information and possibly find answers to their questions.
At the Crossroads, Sora went with Lloyd, Zane, and Arin to meet Fedulian, their target. Recognizing Arin's trusting nature, Sora took it upon herself to remind Arin of the importance of being tough during their interrogation with Fedulian. As they engaged in conversation with Fedulian, Arin fell for Fedulian's deceitful claims, but Sora remained skeptical and decided to question Fedulian about the stolen Mallet of Shattering. Sora astutely pointed out that they could assist in retrieving the mallet, but Fedulian adamantly denied any involvement and abruptly departed. Sensing that something was amiss, Sora and the rest of the group stealthily ascended to the rooftop of Fedulian's shop, where they eavesdropped on Fedulian's conversation with Hantro through a tablet. During this surveillance, Sora caught sight of her cat graffiti behind Hantro just before the call abruptly ended. The ninja then proceeded to the alleyway where the cat graffiti was located. Arin and Lloyd mistakenly believed the graffiti was noodles and meatballs, while Zane pointed out that it did not resemble a cat, much to Sora's disappointment. Shortly after, Hantro appeared and tried to attack the group with her artifacts, but her attempts were futile as they were harmless and ineffective. Sora inquired about the Mallet of Shattering, to which Hantro responded by explaining that with the Gong of Shattering and the Wolf Masks, they could destroy the purity of a Wolf Mask user in order to acquire evil combat techniques and mystical powers. Upon their return to the Monastery, Sora inquired about Lloyd belief in Hantro's lore. Just as they were discussing, Percival and Euphrasia arrived. Euphrasia, with a sense of urgency, warned the ninja about the invasion of the Cloud Kingdom by the Wolf Clan.
The ninja swiftly boarded the Destiny's Bounty and set sail toward the Cloud Kingdom. As they arrived at their destination, the Wolf Mask Warriors were coercing the Writers of Destiny to translate texts in Theroxian. Zane pointed out the sinister aura emanating from the language, leaving Sora perplexed about the concept of an evil language. The ninja managed to incapacitate one of the Wolf Mask Warriors, leading to the liberation of Suetonius, who had been trapped in a cocoon. Suetonius proceeded to reveal that Ras was responsible for cursing the Scroll-Worms. Upon Lloyd's mention of the Blood Moon, Suetonius elaborated on the significance of the Blood Moon and the Ritual of the Blood Moon, which had the power to release the Forbidden Five. Sora expressed her apprehension at the ominous name of the Forbidden Five, learning from Suetonius that they were once virtuous Elemental Masters who had turned to darkness, seeking to conquer the realms through destruction. However, they were thwarted by an enigmatic force from the East, subsequently banished and erased from memory. Now, Ras sought to resurrect the Forbidden Five through the Ritual of the Blood Moon, posing a grave threat to the Merged Lands. The ninja's contemplation was interrupted by the arrival of more Wolf Mask Warriors, whom they valiantly defeated.
Sora and the ninja came across Ras and Jordana. When Jordana confidently claimed that the ninja would never be able to stop them, Sora mentioned that they were actually defeating the Wolf Mask Warriors. However, Sora still couldn't recall Jordana's name. As Jordana angrily clarified her name, Sora only recognized Jordana as a fellow classmate from the Kingdom of Imperium. Ras activated the Gong of Shattering, turning a group of wolf warriors into Wolf Mask Claw Warriors. The ninja struggled against the upgraded foes, with Sora unable to use her Elemental Powers due to lack of technology. The situation escalated when Ras brought Cinder into the battle, only for Kai to swiftly defeat him. However, Cinder turned the tables by wearing a Wolf Mask and perform Shatterspin after Ras sounded the gong again. With Cinder's victory over the ninja and Wyldfyre's leg broken, the ninja had no choice but to retreat, with Sora carrying Wyldfyre back to the Destiny's Bounty.
Beyond the Phantasm Cave[]
Still reeling from their defeat at Cloud Kingdom, Sora, Arin, and Riyu retreated to the Monastery's relaxation room to recover. While Arin trained with a punching bag, Sora began putting her engineering talents to good use by designing a series of Dragon Hooks. Eventually, Arin struck the punching bag with his wonky Spinjitzu and accidentally released the bag from its chains, flinging it at Sora's head. The poor girl narrowly managed to avoid being struck but didn't blame Arin, noting that they were all still on edge following their defeat. Nevertheless, she still asked her best friend why he was training in the relaxation room instead of the courtyard, learning from Arin that Lloyd had been meditating there all day. By nightfall, she and Arin decided to check in on Lloyd. Upon entering the courtyard, Sora reacted with shock when she saw Lloyd lying on the ground and rushed to his aid. Lloyd then explained a new vision he had, one that could lead them to a teacher who knew of a way to defeat Shatterspin. While Arin was ecstatic about this news, Sora remained more cautious.
The next day, the ninja departed on the Bounty to follow Lloyd's visions. As they sailed, Sora continued to work on her Dragon Hooks, beaming with pride at her newest creations. She then rushed over to the engine compartment after a loud rumbling was heard and surmised that the rotor had slipped the drive belt. She then opened the hatch to inspect the damages, discovering to her, and everyone else's surprise, that Wyldfyre had stowed away inside engine compartment. As the fiery girl began to brag about the cunning plan she had used to escape from Mr. Frohicky's watchful eye, Sora deduced that Wyldfyre's "unique" plan had been to stack a bunch of rocks underneath a blanket to give the impression she had been sleeping. Wyldfyre reacted in shock to Sora's know-how. Moments later, the ninja arrived at the Phantasm Cave.
While all the other ninja gasped in wonder as they flew deeper into the cave, Sora remained cautious, confiding her thoughts to Arin. She first asked him if he remembered how she once dismantled her family's vacuum cleaner to build a small robot with. When Arin replied with a laugh that he did, Sora continued, adding that following her mother's scolding, she had run off into the tunnels of Imperium where she was lost for two days. However, Sora had no intention of returning home then, and she wondered now if this teacher the ninja sought had a similar mindset of not wanting to be discovered. Despite her pessimism, Sora followed the directions of the older ninja and provided them each with one of the Dragon Hooks she had designed earlier to scale the walls of the cave with. When Kai expressed they had two problems, namely a dragon who couldn't fly and a teenager with a broken leg, Sora used her Tech powers to combine Kai's dragon hook and other components into a new Climber Mech for him.
The ninja now began to ascend the walls, soon encountering their first challenge: as it turned out, the tunnels lining the cave were inhabited by some tentacled creature. Spotting Arin ensnared by a tentacle, Sora descended to help her friend but her kicks left no impact against the tendrils. Since she was unable to perform Spinjitzu, Sora could do nothing more to help her friend, leaving it up to Lloyd and Nya to handle. When they climbed out of the tentacle cave, Sora profusely apologized to Arin though he was quick to cut her off, stating that she was absolutely okay. The friends then hugged before regrouping with the other ninja to descend deeper into the cave. In the next chamber, everyone's' vision suddenly faded away to black as they were separated each of them from each other. Unbeknownst to any of them, they had fallen victim to the nightmare inducing powers of a Dream-Guyver. In Sora's nightmare, she saw Empress Beatrix and Lord Ras laughing at her from behind a screen before emerging from it and stepping towards her. When she awoke from the nightmare thanks to Nya, Sora muttered that her nightmare was one of the "absolute worst" things she had ever experienced.
Passing through the nightmare cave, the ninja now faced the edge of a cliff, with nothing but deep mist as far as the eye could see. Lloyd hesitated as to their next steps and Nya though suggested a leap of faith, prompting Kai to do just that. Sora and the others first leaned closer to the edge, fearing for the worst until Kai called out for everyone to follow him. Leaping in after Kai, they all landed safely at the Training plateau of the Dragon Masters where they were almost immediately confronted by a large, black dragon.
Force From the East[]
Seconds after encountering him, the large dragon unleashed his cryokinetic breath at Arin and Sora, forcing the two to leap out of the way. The dragon then unleashed a mighty roar strong enough to sweep the ninja off their feet. Wyldfyre attempted to speak to the dragon, but his reaction to Wyldfyre's statements led Sora to remark that he probably did not like what she said. The ninja now began to defend themselves against the dragon's furious onslaught. In the process, Sora took note of several stone balls strewn across the arena and noted that they seemed to have been placed here intentionally. Lloyd then realized that the stones' purpose were to pull down a bucket-pulley system for the gates and called on the ninja to divide their focuses on distracting the dragon while others attempted to launch stones into the bucket.
Following Wyldfyre's successful scoring, Sora followed up with Arin's assistance and plunged a second stone into the bucket. She and Arin then high-fived before returning their efforts on distracting the dragon. Eventually, the ninja succeeded in opening the gates, only to be confronted by a second, purple dragon who roared in their faces. Sora called on everyone to be ready for their attack, but to everyone's surprise, the dragons began bowing before the ninja instead. The dragons then revealed themselves as Egalt and Rontu, the Dragon Masters, and the legendary teachers that Lloyd had sought.
In the ensuing conversation, the ninja explained to the dragons the return of Shatterspin and learned from them about the threat posed by the Forbidden Five. When the two dragons argued amongst themselves, Wyldfyre stated that they were discussing the potential end of the world. Sora mistook this statement for sarcasm and sharply criticized the Master of Heat, only for the former to shoot back that she wasn't joking. In the end, the Dragon Masters agreed to teach the ninja the art of Rising Dragon - a fighting technique they had created to counter the Shatterspin of the Forbidden Five over a millennia ago.
The Spell at the Waterfall[]
Sora and Kai engaged in a sparring session with their elemental mechs to serve as a demonstration of the ninja's fighting capabilities. During the session, Sora produced a retractable blade from her mechs' right arm and sliced off one of the Fire Mech's arms. She then replaced her mech's blade arm with the severed arm of the fire mech, knocking Kai to the ground with his own element. Kai complimented Sora on her prowess, though she dismissively remarked that her fighting abilities were limited only to the mechs due to her status as their designer. Upon the completion of the session, Sora and Riyu were granted the rank of "First Fang" ninja and were assigned to Rontu to learn Spinjitzu. The two were led to a series of increasingly ascending hoops and were instructed to jump, spin, and kick through them. When Riyu got up to try, Sora was concerned about his abilities and tried suggesting to Rontu that he wasn't ready, accidentally offending the older dragon in the process with her poorly worded remarks. The two continued to train until they were briefly interrupted by Wyldfyre who had disguised herself poorly as a Mucoid Warrior. Sora quickly pointed out to Wyldfyre that her disguise wasn't working but Wyldfyre denied Sora's comments. When the Master of Heat stormed off, Sora watched as Riyu successfully completed the hoop course for the first time and showered him with praise.
To Mysterium[]
In the early morning, Sora and Riyu continued to train under Rontu's teachings, leaping across a series of podiums rising out from a pit. Later in the day, the two practiced maintaining their balance atop of upright logs on a single foot. As Sora nearly stumbled, Rontu took note of Sora's uncertainty and suggested that she was overthinking. Sora admitted to doing so, pointing out that it seemed she was learning everything backwards when compared to the other ninja; after all, she had unlocked her true potential already yet still could not perform Spinjitzu. Seconds later, Sora lost her balance and fell, grumbling with a defeated tone that she was the worst ninja ever. Although Rontu refuted Sora's beliefs about herself, Sora pointed out that time was running out for the ninja to master Rising Dragon to stop Ras' plans and that she was still the weakest link of the team.
Fugitives From Madness[]
Sora watched Arin practice Spinjitzu and cheered him on with words of encouragement after he smashed through three pillars. To her shock, Arin responded coldly to her words, asking for her not to make fun of him. Taken aback, Sora pointed out that Arin was doing great; after all he just smashed through three pillars! Arin however refused to consider it a victory, for he had been aiming for all four and thus failed. Arin then stormed off and Sora at first stepped towards her best friend but stopped herself, realizing that Arin wanted to be left alone. Moments later, Sora and the other ninja heard Lloyd screaming after another round of visions and rushed to him before being hurried off to resume their training.
By sundown, Sora and the others gathered together and watched as Kai became the first to successfully perform Rising Dragon technique just as the Blood Moon rose in the sky and petrified the Dragon Masters. The ninja were now on their own in stopping Ras' plans.
Secrets of the Wyldness[]
All the ninja reacted to the Dragon Masters' petrified states with shock, but without any way to restore them, the ninja were forced to depart in search of Ras and the Wolf Clan.
As the ninja sailed through the skies atop the Bounty, they suddenly encountered a wild storm that Lloyd quickly realized was unnatural. When an unsecured crate was flung in Sora's direction, Arin tackled her out of harm's way just as the crate smashed apart where Sora had been previously standing. While most of the ninja were thrown overboard in the ensuing turbulence, Sora, Wyldfyre, and Kai managed to stay onboard but found themselves facing a much worse fate: being precariously perched atop a deep chasm. The three's only hope for survival lay in the climber mech, but it was on the other side of the Bounty and even the slightest bit of movement would tip the ship over to its doom. Following a plan she developed, Sora and Wyldfyre jumped at the same time to tip the Bounty towards its stern to buy Kai enough time to reach the mech. Unfortunately, the mech tipped over in the process and its weight caused the Bounty to fall off its perch facing the bow. Wyldfyre held onto Sora as both screamed, bracing themselves for their impending demise. Fortunately, Kai was able to enter the cockpit of the mech in time and caught Sora, who in turn, was barely able to catch Wyldfyre. The three then began to make their ascent out from the ravine, hearing the crash of the Bounty echoing from below. Sora then briefly gave a eulogy to the ship.
The Forest of Spirits[]
Sora and Wyldfyre clung onto the sides of the Climber Mech as the three continued to ascend up the cliff. When Kai asked if they were doing well, Sora grunted that the ride could be smoother. After Wyldfyre fell off and was rescued, Sora asked if she was good. Another rock soon broke off the cliff face and Sora ducked for cover, but fortunately Wyldfyre destroyed the rock with a fireball much to Sora's relief. When they finally reached the top of the cliff, Sora admitted to Kai that the ride up was just as bad as Wyldfyre made it out to seem, but at the very least they were all safe now! Mere seconds later, the three were surrounded by Wolf Mask Warriors.
As the warriors approached, Sora suggested that they all could avoid fighting but Wyldfyre refused and initiated the battle with a huge fireball. As they fought, Sora briefly let her guard down to remark that Rontu's training was finally paying off. This opening allowed another warrior to attack her from behind, knocking her to the ground. Moments later, Sora kicked the last warrior off the cliff to his death and panted that while her fighting skills were improving, she admitted still had ways to go before realizing what she said and begged the others not to tell Lloyd she said that. The three then stole the uniforms of some of the unconscious warriors and prepared to follow another group of warriors to wherever Ras was hiding.
Upon arriving at the Shadow Dojo, the three stood beside each other in the back row yet could hear the ongoing conversation between Ras and Cinder. Realizing that they could stop the Ritual of the Blood Moon by freeing the intended sacrifices, the three began to approach the platform with another group of warriors, during which Sora whispered aloud for herself not to be afraid.
Rising Ninja[]
Sora, Kai, and Wyldfyre discreetly approached the captive Writers of Destiny from behind, with Kai intending to free them from their shackles. Before they could, however, the Wolf Clan began ringing the Gong of Shattering and activated all Wolf Masks in the area, including the ones worn by Kai, Sora, and Wyldfyre. Affected by the magic of the masks, the three began stumbling away as they struggled to remove them. Wyldfyre finally removed her's by melting it off with her fire and urged the other two to hold still while she removed theirs' as well, chucking a fireball at Sora's face before she could even react. Cinder then spotted the three and called out to his allies, starting an all-out battle at the Shadow Dojo.
With Kai unsure of how exactly to perform Rising Dragon again, Sora proposed for her to stop Cinder from using Shatterspin while Kai and Wyldfyre fought the Wolf Mask Warriors. The two then activated their elemental mechs and Sora shot a Wolf Mask out of Cinder's hands before grappling and slamming him into the ground. When Cinder tried to retaliate with his smoke form, Sora transformed her mech's left arm into a force-field generator and contained Cinder within it, asking him rhetorically if she didn't anticipate his smoke form this time. As the battle progressed, the Wolf Warriors cut off one of Kai's mech's arms, prompting Sora to send her mech's right arm to him. This action however, left Sora effectively defenseless against the Wolf Warriors who were determined on releasing their captured general, much to her dismay.
Fortunately, reinforcements arrived just in time, with Arin dispatching the Wolf Warriors that were attacking Sora and her mech. Relieved to see her best friend, Sora spoke with him and learned that Riyu could fly now though, witnessing this feat before her eyes! Moments later however, Cinder finally broke through the generator holding him captive, and the resulting explosion heavily damaged the Elemental Tech Mech while knocking Sora out cold. She would regain consciousness however, just in time to witness Nokt's return from the Nether-Space. Nokt then joined the battle, unleashing a powerful wave of Shatterspin that knocked all the ninja except for Nya to the ground. When she recovered, Sora saw Arin grabbing one of the Elemental Fire Mech's damaged fists in an effort to imbue it with Object Spinjitzu. With the stakes too high for Arin to fail, Sora discreetly used her Tech powers to activate the fist's rocket boosters and propel it into Ras. Wyldfyre however caught sight of this act though Sora swore her to secrecy. Moments later, the portal to Nether-Space closed and the Blood Moon passed. With his forces all but defeated, Ras called upon his master for aid, teleporting him, the Wolf Clan, and the Shadow Dojo to parts unknown.
Following the battle, the ninja regrouped in Cloud Kingdom where they were informed by Suetonius that nothing in the archives could explain the sudden disappearance of Ras and the Wolf Clan. Nevertheless, Suetonius thanked the ninja and urged them to celebrate their victory. Lloyd then pulled Arin aside and privately praised him for his Object Spinjitzu, cheering up the teenager. Sora watched and listened to Lloyd and Arin's conversation with a small smile before turning and noticing that Wyldfyre had been watching her as well. Without a word, Wyldfyre gave Sora a small smile, affirming the secret she had been sworn to.
The Shape of Motion[]
Sora and Arin infiltrated The Administration, seeking information on Arin's missing parents as their first solo mission. Evading the watchful eyes of Agents Underwood and Allen, the pair made their way to the Department of Reassignment where Sora attempted to access the Administration's files on those they had "returned" to their homelands. Unfortunately, Sora discovered that all files had been locked down ever since the department's head, one Agent Walker, disappeared. As if to make matters worse, Agents Underwood and Allen burst into the department and expressed their intentions of arresting both teenagers. When the agents made a move to capture them, Arin produced a smoke bomb and both he and Sora fled outside where Riyu awaited them. Hastily hopping into Arin's Explorer, the three drove off deeper into the Land of Madness. Along the way, Arin began complaining about the failure of their mission while Sora tried to comfort him by reassuring him that they would likely find another lead as to his parent's whereabouts. The conversation was cut short however, by the sudden appearance and crash landing of the Matriarch of the Mountain Dragons. Realizing that she had been hurt very badly, Sora contacted the other ninja through the Explorer's comms.
As Sora and Arin waited for the ninja to arrive, they observed the Craglings presenting the Matriarch of the Mountain Dragons with their sacred mud, hoping it would aid in her healing. Despite their efforts, Sora believed the mud alone would not suffice. When the other ninja finally joined them, Sora relayed the troubling news, and the Matriarch warned Lloyd of an imminent danger, entrusting him with a map. The Matriarch succumbed to her injuries, leaving the ninja in grief. In the midst of their sorrow, Sora grappled with the brutality of the attack, questioning how anyone could commit such an atrocity. Lloyd shared the Matriarch's warning about the potential peril facing the Source Dragons. At that moment, Sora heard a faint whimper and discovered the Matriarch's infant daughter concealed within one of her nursing pouches. Concerned for the child's safety, Sora feared that the same assailant might target the baby next. Lloyd proposed that they should return the child to her herd, but Sora reminded him that the Mountain Dragons had fled the Land of the Three Mountains following the assault by the Claws of Imperium. Riyu then drew arrow, which initially confused the ninja until they recalled Riyu's unique ability to track the Mountain Dragons like the Matriarch had previously mentioned. Sora rode alongside Lloyd and Arin on Zanth, closely trailing Riyu during their expedition. Soon, they were ambushed by Rapton and the Claw Hunters, catching Sora off guard as Rapton announced his return. He explained that after the Liberation of Imperium, he and the Claw Hunters had rebranded as the Freebooters, struggling to fit into their new roles within the Kingdom of Imperium and turning to mercenary work. With the assistance of the Mountain Dragons, the ninja defeated the Freebooters, with all the Claw Hunters collapsing on Rapton. Using Technology, Sora made Rapton's hover chariot speed away, taking him and the Claw Hunters off course. The ninja were then guided to a World Tree in the World Forest, where they successfully reunited the Matriarch's daughter with her tribe.
Upon the ninja's return to the monastery, they were confronted by a dragon. Sora inquired about the dragon's identity, and the dragon introduced herself as the Source Dragon of Motion, seeking the ninja's assistance. She warned them that the same people who killed the Matriarch demise were also responsible for the deaths of two other Arc Dragons, and that her kind might be next in line. The Source Dragon explained the threats facing her species, particularly since they were already vulnerable before the Merge, citing the capture of the Source Dragon of Energy and the death of another Source Dragon. She indicated that if all Source Dragons were to perish, the Merged Realms will be destroyed, as they're essential to the very fabric of reality. The Source Dragon of Motion emphasized that it was the ninja's responsibility to bring the killers to justice before they could target the remaining Source Dragons, as she and her kin were unable to identify the culprits. Upon learning about the map given to Lloyd by the Matriarch, the Source Dragon of Motion realized it led to the City of Temples, suspecting that the killers would be participating in the Tournament of the Sources. Consequently, she tasked Sora and the other ninja with attending the Tournament to track down the threat.
Enter the City of Temples[]
Arin showed off his new pie, Merlopian Berry Creme, to Sora and Riyu. Arin proudly announced it as a creation from his best friend Frak. Sora's jealousy flared up at the mention of Frak. Arin clarified that Frak was his bestie besides Sora and Riyu and that they were friends before the Merge, sharing a mutual love for the ninja. Sora was impressed, and Arin reminisced about how excited Frak would be for Arin now, even though they've lost touch since he moved away. Arin decided to whip up more pies for the rest of the ninja before they head off to the Tournament of the Sources. Sora insisted he should come along, but Arin felt out of place since the tournament is meant for Elemental Masters. Sora playfully suggested that Arin was the Elemental Master of Pie, emphasizing the importance of his presence as part of the team. However, Arin lamented that, despite the excitement, he felt he does not have a place in the event.
When Lloyd returned from the training plateau of the Dragon Masters, he had Sora and the rest of the ninja sport bowls of on their heads as training. Sora questions the necessity of this arrangement. Lloyd jokes mentions the advantages of stew-jitzu, prompting a groan from Nya, while Sora and Arin share a quiet laugh. Lloyd, eager to proceed, tosses bowls towards the ninja, who catch them with ease.
Sora and Arin made their way to the Dragon Stone Shrine using the Explorer, accompained with the other ninja. As they arrived, the ninja spotted Euphrasia stepping into an elevator, prompting Arin to excitedly shake Sora and express his delight about the unfolding events. Sora, however, reminded him that he had almost decided not to come at all. As they approached the entrance, Sora was eager to move forward, but was uncertain about how to proceed. Zane then inspected the closed slot Euphrasia used. Sora noticed a speaking tube and called out, asking if anyone could hear them as she stated their intention to attend the Tournament. Suddenly, another door opened, revealing Bleckt, who introduced himself as the Minister of Ledgering for the Tournament of the Sources. Bleckt explained that he oversaw all lists and records for the event, highlighting his family's long history of organizing the tournament. However, Bleckt suggested the ninja should leave if they did not have an invitation from the Spirit Dragons. Wyldfyre insisted that they were esteemed Elemental Masters deserving of an invitation, but Bleckt dismissed her, saying they would not be able to compete. Offended, Sora challenged Bleckt's authority, questioning his identity as the Elemental Master of Shade. Bleckt, however, simply bypassed the ninja and allowed Obscuria, the Elemental Master of Shade, to enter the City of Temples.
As Kizzy took the elevator into the city, Sora and Arin opted for the Explorer, which fired a grappling hook that secured itself to the rising elevator. This allowed the elevator to hoist the Explorer, carrying Sora and Arin, up the cliff while the other ninja soared alongside them on their dragons. Suddenly, Security Bots arrived, attacking the ninja for their intrusion. Two of the bots focused on Sora and Arin in the Explorer, forcing them to jump out. Sora landed on one of the Security Bots. While hanging on, Sora attempted to use her Elemental Powers against the bot, but to her dismay, nothing happened. The bot made a sudden turn, causing Sora to lose her grip and tumble onto Zanth. Realizing that the Security Bots were constructed from outdated technology, which rendered her powers ineffective, Sora felt frustrated. As more Security Bots approached, the dragons urged the ninja to secured themselves to the cliff while they engage in battle. Sora and the ninja used their Dragon Hooks to attach to the cliff face and began their ascent, but Sora looked down, calling out for Arin and feeling anxious about his absence. Cole mentioned spotting Arin riding a flying bot, with Riyu in pursuit. Concerned for her friend's safety, Sora pressed on. Upon reaching the top, the ninja were met with onlookers who were watching a recording of their skirmish with the Security Bots. As they took in the scene, the entrance swung open to reveal Roby and Bleckt. Bleckt commanded the Security Bots to detain the ninja, but Roby intervened, revealing his authority as the Games Master of the tournament. He enthusiastically invited Sora and the others to participate in his grand vision for a multimedia event, promising even more surprises as the gates opened to showcase the City of Temples. However, Sora interrupted, voicing her worries about where Arin and Riyu had gone.
They Gather for the Feast[]
Sora and the other of the ninja discovered Arin and Riyu already in the City of Temples with Arin's old friend, Frak. Though Frak departed from the group sooner than intended due to his master summoning him for a training session.
Sora and the ninja crew were offered a tour by Roby and Bleckt, but Bleck was interrupted by Roby calling him boring. As the tour continued, Roby claimed that old tradition was going to be replaced by 'the new era'. They then showed the ninja a seven-headed dragon painting on a building. Zane informed them that he had no data about a seven-headed dragon, only for Roby to quickly say that it wasn't a real dragon and that it was interpretive art representing the Seven Source Dragons of myth. Roby then explained that how the fairy tale went, all Elemental Powers came from the Source Dragons. Bleck quickly interrupted, claiming it was not a fairy tale. Roby ignored him and continued, saying the games were created forever ago to celebrate the gifts of the Source Dragons so Elemental Masters were called to compete. Roby then finished by telling them that it was pretty much a celebration for their awesomeness.
When Cole asked what the winner got, Roby quickly replied that rules had to be discussed first. He then explained that when someone lost a match, they give their power to the Elemental Cup. With that cup, Roby would be able to transfer the loser's power to the winner, who would then have both powers. This would go on in the game as each competitor that won would gain more and more powers to compete with and that the winner would end up with everyone's Elemental Powers. Bleckt then added that the champion would return the power to their rightful masters in a victory ceremony that commemorated the Source Dragons allowing mortals to wield Elemental Powers. Roby then declared that victory ceremonies were boring and that theirs would be an extreme victory extravaganza.
Nya mentioned how that seemed super risky, considering the winner could be evil. Sora then said that an evil winner could go rogue and take over the world, or something similar to that. Roby brushed off the obvious stress by explaining that nothing had ever happened like that and that it couldn't. The Elemental Cup was like a safety switch. If anyone tried something stupid, Roby would be able to pull the powers back into the cup. Soon, the ninja were greeted by Zant-Tanz, discovering that he had the elemental power of Plants. After Zant-Tanz demonstrated his ability, he told them that he would bring his sweet Mucoid Berries to the banquet. When Sora questioned about it, Roby informed them that they were invited.
The ninja later entered the banquet hall and were greeted by Roby. Soon after Roby gave the ninja a few menus, Sora was startled by Jordana begging for help. But the second it happened, it all passed in a flash and Jordana froze and acted as if nothing happened, confusing Sora. Then, Nokt and Cinder appear at Jordana's side, Nokt openly wondering where she had ran off to. As Cinder advanced toward Sora, saying, "Look who we have here," Wyldfyre jumped beside Sora growling. When Cinder mocked Wyldfyre and asked about the other red ninja, Wyldfyre summoned her Heat power, ready to blast Cinder with it.
Roby quickly intervened, announcing that fighting was prohibited and that anyone would be eliminated from the games for starting one. When Arin asked Sora what was wrong, she replied saying she wasn't sure and that something strange had just happened. Sora then regrouped with the other ninja to listen to Roby's speech, which was interrupted by Zeatrix. Following the dinner, the ninja made their way to their assigned quarters while discussing potential suspects for the murders of the three Arc Dragons. Sora proposed that Zeatrix was responsible, arguing that she seemed awfully confident that she would win the tournament, so perhaps she knew something that none of the others did?
As the ninja slept, an Attacker bot discreetly entered their quarters and attempted to kill Lloyd with a Gilba Thorn. Their struggle woke the other ninja, including Sora, who then fought back against the bot but was knocked to the ground after the ninja's powers combined. Unlike the others, however, Sora did not pursue the bot after it fled from their quarters and instead later regrouped with Lloyd in the city after he dispatched the bot. There, she witnessed Zant-Tanz's exile after he was blamed for dispatching the bots before returning to her quarters alongside everyone else.
Inside the Maze[]
Sora was walking back to the ninja quarters when Nya ran to Lloyd about seeing Jay at the Tournament.
The following day, Sora and Arin engaged in a conversation regarding Zant-Tanz and the attacker bots. Arin proposed that Ras might be the mastermind behind the attack. However, Sora pointed out that Ras was also ambushed. Sora encouraged Arin to reach out to the other ninja for assistance, but Arin wanted to handle the situation independently, feeling the need to redeem himself since he was unable to participate in the tournament. As Arin left, Sora reflected to herself that Arin wasn't the only one grappling with a mystery, especially considering Jordana's unusual behavior.
Sora spied on Jordana to discover Frak was with them.
Sora made her way to Foundation Street, keeping a close watch on Jordana. When she finally approached her, Sora demanded to know why Jordana had sought her assistance at the banquet. Jordana denied ever making such a request, but Sora was adamant that she had. In response, Jordana accused Sora of manipulating her thoughts and issued a warning before walking away. As Sora observed, she noticed Jordana engaging in conversation with Nokt, and soon after, the two of them joined Frak. This revelation shocked Sora, as she discovered that Frak was affiliated with the Wolf Clan. Upon returning to their quarters, Sora cautioned Arin about Frak's alliance with Ras. Arin brushed off her concerns, convinced that Sora was merely misinterpreting what she had witnessed. Sora firmly maintained her stance, asserting that she would never lie to Arin. Just then, Lloyd entered the room, suggesting that they all head to the Games Plaza, as the first game of the tournament was about to begin.
Although they won Sora realized they all felt empty due to loosing Jay.
At the Games Plaza, Sora joined the other ninja as Lloyd reminded everyone about the villain orchestrating a plan to seize the Source Dragons and the Elemental Powers. When Roby introduced Zane and Zur as the first two Elemental Masters set to compete, Sora cheered for Zane, encouraging him to give it his all. Unfortunately, Zane was defeated by Zur, leading to the transfer of his powers to his opponent. Sora observed with concern as Zane's Ice abilities dissipated more quickly than anticipated during the match. Moments later, Sora and the other ninja were left in disbelief upon seeing Jay with the Wolf Clan. After Nya triumphed in her match, Sora celebrated the victory with Arin and Wyldfyre. However, as Jay faced rejection from Ras, Sora began to question the somber mood among the ninja, despite the importance of winning the tournament, prompting Lloyd to reveal that they had lost Jay to the side of evil.
United We Fall[]
Sora stood firm against Ras, flanked by the other ninja, demanding Jay's return. In response, Ras justified his actions, claiming he had been the only one to help Jay after his loss in the tournament. He elaborated that he had sent Jay away as punishment, suggesting that if the ninja truly valued their friend, they should actively seek him out. However, because of the risks posed by the Tournament of the Sources to the Source Dragons, they couldn't. As they headed back, Sora noticed Arin's troubled expression and learned that Jay had mentioned working in the Administration. This revelation struck Sora as significant, as it dawned on her that Jay was Agent Walker. Sora believed that once the games end, they can look for Jay and potentially rescue Arin's parents. However, Arin recalled how Lloyd promise to find his parents before is similar to how Lloyd promising Nya they will find Jay but obstacles always seemed to arise whenever.
The next day, Sora used one of the Tournament provided tablets to study the other competitors in the Tournament, attempting to recall from memory what each competitor's powers were. After getting stuck on Zur, Sora grumbled in exasperation that this was impossible. Lloyd took note of Sora's frustrations and urged her to find calm, though Sora protested she couldn't be calm as she had no defense against Cinder or Nokt's abilities in Shatterspin. In response, Zane interrupted and pointed out to Sora that most of the games appeared focused on out-maneuvering one's opponent rather than prevailing through strength alone. Lloyd seconded Zane's comment and also reminded Sora that their mission was not to win the tournament, but to stop Ras and uncover the ones who killed the Arc Dragons.
Later that day, Sora was called in for her first match of the tournament against Kizzy, Master of Balance. In this tight-rope crossing obstacle course, the participants were challenged to be the first to cross and strike a drum at the end of the course. Although Kizzy's element gave her a significant advantage, Sora managed to prevail by using her own powers to transform part of the course into a balance beam and using the moves Rontu had taught her to evade the obstacles. With Kizzy's powers transferred to her, Sora demonstrated by performing a single-handed hand stand.
Later that night, after the day's matches, including Wyldfyre's loss against Cinder, the aforementioned Master of Smoke approached the ninja to gloat. Provoking Wyldfyre's temper, Cinder then feigned being attacked as a group of Security Bots descended upon the ninja, followed by Bleckt and Roby. Displeased with what appeared to be the ninja's bullying of Cinder, Bleckt ordered the ninja to be disqualified from the tournament, but Zane invoked the Cavern Run challenge to give the ninja an opportunity to stay in the competition. Although the ninja no longer had a vehicle to race with, Sora perked up when she heard that the temple had a junkyard and remarked that she would find all the parts she needed there.
Sometime later, Sora, Nya, Cole, and Lloyd arrived at the starting point for the Cavern Run in their new Ninja Team Combo Vehicle. As they began the race in earnest, Sora remarked that it was much easier than she had originally expected and noted they were about to enter an area called the "green zone," which she expected to be quite pleasant based on the name. Unfortunately this section of the race earned its name from the many acid spewing geysers that filled the chamber, much to Sora's horror. As if things weren't worse, the Pace Dragon soon passed the ninja who were forced to slow down to navigate through the dangerous room.
Truth and Lies[]
In an effort to evade the toxic goo, Sora separated the Ninja Team Combo Vehicle into four units, assuming control of her glider. However, the ninja were unable to track the Pace Dragon. Sora encouraged Cole to maintain his optimism. Gaining a more advantageous perspective, Sora successfully located the Pace Dragon and urged the ninja to increase their speed. However, their progress was abruptly halted by a cave-in within the tunnel. Inspired by Nya's sarcastic suggestion to charge directly into the obstruction, Sora merged the four vehicles. The Ninja Team Combo Vehicle forcefully breached the wall, allowing Sora and the other ninja to surpass the Pace Dragon, securing victory in the race and thereby earning immunity to remain in the City of Temples.
At the Games Plaza, Sora saw the competition between Euphrasia and Zeatrix, with Zeatrix emerging victorious in the match. In the subsequent round, Tox faced off against Nokt, who launched a vicious assault on Tox using Shatterspin. As Tox was being carried away on a stretcher, Sora and the other ninja rushed to provide assistance. Amidst the chaos, Sora inadvertently caught wind of Nokt referring to Jordana as "sister," a revelation that piqued her curiosity.
As the contest between Cole and Frak was on the verge of commencing, Sora noticed Arin's arrival. She attempted to greet him, but he dismissively ignored her, leaving her perplexed. While the match between Frak and Cole unfolded, Sora reminded Arin of her previous assertions regarding Frak's affiliation with the Wolf Clan, emphasizing her honesty towards him. Arin challenged her claim, questioning her certainty about the truth of her statements. This left Sora bewildered until Arin disclosed that he had been informed by someone about how Sora had deceived him into believing he had successfully performed Object Spinjitzu during the Ritual of the Blood Moon. Sora then admitted her wrongdoing and expressed her regret. She insisted that Arin was the only hope for the ninja during the ritual and that she genuinely wanted him to succeed, particularly after his demotion by Egalt during training. Sensing Sora's potential doubts regarding his capabilities, Arin left in frustration, despite her attempts to provide clarification.
After some time, Sora engaged in training with Lloyd and Nya in preparation for the upcoming game. Preoccupied by the conflict with Arin, Sora inadvertently used Balance. Lloyd advised Sora that her distractions would hinder her ability to master Spinjitzu.
Sora defeated Cinder, gaining his powers.
Sora watched the match between Nya and Nokt, where the objective was to collect the majority of three gems. Nokt emerged victorious, leaving Sora and Lloyd as the remaining competitors for the ninja. Lloyd attempted to motivate them, but Sora is disheartened to see Arin leave in frustration. Just then, Roby announced that Sora and Cinder would compete next, explaining that their challenge is a puzzle game. As the game commenced, Sora used Technology to create a weapon, which she used to electrocute Cinder, incapacitating him. She then pulled levers to lower a metal pillar, forming a bridge. When Cinder recovered, Sora transformed her weapon into a cage, recalling Cinder's history of being trapped in technological cages. Sora tackled the second puzzle, revealing a numerical code, and successfully inputed 11111 into a lock, which lowered a rope for her to swing to the final platform. After placing the metal orb in the center, Roby declared her the winner. He then transferred Cinder's Smoke and Heat powers to Sora, who rejoined the other ninja.
The Sword Shatters[]
Sora woke up early alongside Lloyd, Cole, Zane, and Wyldfyre to begin their training session. Upon returning, they noticed that Arin had put up a board detailing his detective work concerning a suspect. Arin shared that he and Riyu had been caught while sneaking into Ras' dorm, but Ras had surprisingly let them go. Zane pointed out that their ongoing rivalry with Ras had caused them to ignore other potential threats. Cole expressed his shock at discovering that Zur was a suspect in the matter. Sora explained that the Crowns of Horns could be consumed to gain strength for battles, but this came with the downside of inducing rage. She mentioned a rumor circulating in the Crossroads about the Devonians engaging in this practice, but Lloyd countered that rumors alone do not constitute evidence. Sora then suggested that Zeatrix could also be a suspect, as she harbored intentions of retaliating against the ninja for dethroning Beatrix, despite they had technically helped Zeatrix. Arin then revealed a symbol he had discovered the day before, prompting Cole to recommend that he visit the Temple City Museum, which Arin decided to do right away. Although Sora offered to assist him, Arin rejected the offer. Sora then turned to Lloyd to discuss Arin, but Lloyd suddenly experienced another vision, leaving Sora surprised, especially since Rontu had taught Lloyd how to control such occurrences.
Later in the day, Sora grew concerned about Riyu's prolonged absence and asked the other ninja once they regrouped if any of them had seen him. Cole however handwaved Riyu's absence by suggesting that he probably was still on the way back after helping Nya leave, and/or got distracted from all the delicious concessions offered in the city. Sora then regrouped with the other ninja to watch Frak's match against Zur, briefly expressing concern over Cole's willingness to give advice to Frak, since he was part of Ras' team. Sora would later have a match of her own against Chamille, Master of Form, whom Sora swiftly and effortlessly defeated in another obstacle course game.
At nightfall, an exhausted Sora sat down next to Lloyd and suggested to him that his visions about Zeatrix must have been wrong, given the day's events were now over. To everyone's surprise however, Roby had planned a surprise game tonight, one between Lloyd and Zeatrix! Sora spectated the match alongside the others and spoke up after Zane pointed out that Lloyd's fighting in the match seemed unusual, remarking that it seemed more like Lloyd was focusing on fleeing than fighting. During the intermission, Sora bluntly spoke with Lloyd about his flailing performance, stating that he was losing alright, but not to Zeatrix but his own fear stemming from his visions. Sora reminded him of how he encouraged her prior to her match with Cinder not to make her fear a self-fulfilling prophecy and urged Lloyd to do the same, using his own words that ninja didn't fight because they knew they would win, but rather because some things are worth fighting for, no matter the outcome.
Heeding his student's words, Lloyd defeated Zeatrix in battle, eliciting cheers from Sora. However, she soon spotted Zeatrix rising from behind, furious about her defeat and clutching the crystal sword from Lloyd's visions. Horrified, she called out to her teacher to look behind him, but it was too late. Lloyd was struck by Zeatrix and knocked off the platform, the last thing he saw before losing consciousness being Sora and the others rushing over to him.
Clues and Suspects[]
The next morning, Sora and the other ninja stood over Lloyd's unconscious body as Zane provided them with an update on his condition. Terrified for her master, Sora expressed her concern and emphasized that the ninja could not win the tournament without his guidance. Her thoughts though would be cut short by Roby and Bleckt's arrival, for they had come to complete the transference of Zeatrix's powers. Although he was concerned with Lloyd's condition, Roby tried to lighten up the room by revealing Zeatrix's punishment: being blacklisted from all future Tournaments of the Sources. Sora however was displeased and unimpressed with this news, finding it to be too light. Wyldfyre then provoked Zeatrix, prompting the latter to begin attacking everyone and forcing Sora to step forward, ready to intervene.
Later in the day, Sora continued training while Cole and Zane oversaw her efforts. As she trained, Sora groaned that Lloyd had been trying to teach her Spinjitzu, but without him to guide her, she doubted she would be able to even make it into the next rounds of the tournament. Sora was then called over to the games plaza for a match against Frak. As she walked towards the arena, Sora caught sight of Jordana and gave a friendly wave, though Jordana ignored her with a visible huff. Cole then asked Sora what was up with Jordana, to which Sora sadly admitted that when they were kids in school together, she would always ignore Jordana and now Jordana unsurprisingly was ignoring her. She then suggested half-heartedly that perhaps Jordana could become Arin's new best friend, bonding over their shared hatred for her.
The ensuing battle with Frak took place in a multi-platform fight, with Frak employing Ice as his primary element while Sora countered with Heat. Frak skillfully dodged Sora's fiery attacks and managed to damage Sora's hoverpad using Ice, ultimately knocking Sora off the platform with an Earth attack. During the fight, Sora questioned Frak's allegiance to Ras, prompting Frak to defend his mentor by stating that the ninja were misjudging Ras, who had taught him so much. As both combatants unleashed blasts of Ice and Heat, a thick smoke enveloped the arena, obscuring Frak's vision. Sora seized the opportunity to teleport in front of Frak and knocked him toward the edge of the platform. In a moment of desperation, Ras urged Frak to don the Wolf Mask to execute Shatterspin. However, recalling Arin's warning, Frak hesitated and ultimately chose to reject Ras' command, discarding the mask and opting for a fair fight. Sora soon defeated Frak with a powerful Heat blast and respectfully bowed to him, commenting that he was a worthy opponent. As the ninja left the plaza, Jordana walked up to Sora and passed her a note containing an Imperium math equation.
Sora would then spend most of the afternoon focusing on the note Jordana had provided her. Although she was able to solve the math without much issue, she had more trouble applying what it translated to: the words, "Crown," "Mono," and "Stereo." When Arin returned to the ninja's quarters, Sora excitedly called out to him and explained to him the math equation she had been given by Jordana and if Arin could determine its applicability. Together, the two deciphered the note as saying that the crowns of horns were located in a monastery, though neither understood which monastery Jordana could have been referring to. Sora then returned to the games plaza to spectate the next match, but grew irritated when Roby announced it would be between Lloyd and Nokt. To her teammates, Sora angrily questioned Roby's matchmaking, stating that he should know that Lloyd was still in a coma. Roby recognized at least the confusion and murmurs from the crowd and explained that in spite of Lloyd's condition, the games still had to move on with or without him. As he prepared to proclaim Lloyd's absence as a forfeiture, Sora spotted Lloyd stepping into the arena and shouted out his name.
Sora cheered her master on as he began to engage Nokt in battle, only to be disqualified anyway due to his injury being a violation of the tournament's rules. In frustration, Lloyd screamed that he had failed all of them, but Sora reminded him that she was still in the tournament and with Lloyd's training, she might have a shot at winning it.
The Final Game[]
While training with Lloyd and Zane in the Games Plaza, Sora tried to use Cinder's Smoke but failed to go twice as far, leading her to wonder how Cinder managed to harness it so easily. She felt frustrated about her inability to wield the other Elemental Powers like her competitors. Lloyd pointed out that Sora's main issue was her attempt to emulate the other Elemental Masters instead of embracing her unique abilities. Sora acknowledged this but was eager to know what she could do differently. Lloyd encouraged her to be true to herself, but Sora felt that her current self was not good enough, especially since Arin disliked her, her Spinjitzu skills were inconsistent, and she was facing the prospect of losing to Nokt in the upcoming final match. Lloyd reassured her, suggesting that she should stop trying to replicate how others used their powers and instead focus on how only she could use them. Sora, feeling uncertain, asked for guidance on how to achieve that. Spotting the Wolf Clan nearby, she excused herself to talk to Jordana. When Sora mentioned the note, Jordana claimed not to know what she was talking about. Sora felt a pang of regret for not remembering Jordana better and suggested that they might have been friends during their challenging school days. However, Jordana dismissed her with a harsh remark, calling her pathetic before walking away, leaving Sora feeling disheartened.
Later at night, the final battle between Sora and Nokt commenced. The battle kicked off with Sora making the first move, attempting to perform Spinjitzu for the first time. She managed the rudimentary version of the technique, much like Arin had before her, but Nokt quickly knocked her to the ground. Nokt boasted that Sora had never encountered an opponent like him before, to which Sora retorted by drawing comparisons to her parents and other oppressive Imperians from the City of Imperium, asserting that she had faced worse. Nokt then performed Shatterspin, but Sora dodged the attack and quickly created an Ice wall for defense. She then used Frak's Quake power on ice spikes she raised from the ground to the air, followed by applying Zur's Reflex power into punching them in a rapid motion. When Nokt uses Shatterspin to attack, the barrier collapse onto him and sends him flying into a screen. The two combatants exchanged fierce blows using their Elemental Powers, with Sora using Smoke, Heat, and Reflex to counteract Nokt's attacks. As the battle went on, Nokt used Shockwave to make Sora go into smoke form and managed to knock her down with Shatterspin. Lloyd, watching from the sidelines, urged Sora to outsmart Nokt if she couldn't overpower him. In a moment of insight, Sora spotted a device on the back of Nokt's head, though she was unsure of its function. Utilizing Technology, she transformed the device into a techno-bee, which stung Nokt and delivered an electric shock. Just as Sora prepared to finish Nokt with her Heat attack, the arena unexpectedly shifted, leaving her disoriented. Sora hopped onto a hover pad, and she attempted another Heat attack, but Nokt countered with Shatterspin, knocking her off her pad and securing his victory in the final match.
Sora and Lloyd proceeded to the victory ceremony, where Sora was to relinquish her powers. Lloyd commended Sora, asserting that she surpassed all other Elemental Masters. Nevertheless, Sora felt troubled by the fact that Ras would acquire all the Elemental Powers for his scheme. Roby absorbed Sora's powers with the intention of transferring them to Nokt, thereby claiming the title of Champion of the Sources. At that moment, Wyldfyre and Zur arrived, revealing Bleckt's collusion with Ras. Wyldfyre detailed Ras' entire plot, including the involvement of Bleckt in orchestrating the attacker bots and rigging the matches, including the one between Sora and Nokt. Disgusted by Bleckt's betrayal, Roby announced the cancellation of the victory celebration. However, Nokt attacked Roby with Shatterspin, claiming all the powers from the Elemental Cup and betrayed Ras. When Jordana arrived, Sora learned that Rox, another member of the Forbidden Five, had possessed Jordana since the Blood Moon Ritual, explaining her odd behavior. Both Rox and Nokt admitted to being responsible for the deaths of the three Arc Dragons. When Sora questioned about their motives for killing innocent dragons, Nokt revealed their intent to steal the Crowns of Horns to aid in freeing the rest of the Forbidden Five. Enraged, Ras summoned Cinder and the wolf warriors to confront Nokt and Cinder, but Rox corrupted the Wolf Clan, unleashing their true power. Sora and Lloyd prepared for battle as the Wolf Clan launched their attack.
Elements of Betrayal[]
Sora fought the Wolf Mask Warriors, using a fragment of a railing as an improvised weapon during the skirmish. Sora expressed to Lloyd her dissatisfaction with the limitations imposed by her partial acquisition of the Elemental Powers from the tournament. Lloyd, in turn, relayed information he had received from Arin regarding the location of the Crowns of Horns, which were said to be situated at the Monastery of Gates. He also conveyed his astonishment at Ras' innocence concerning the assassinations of the Arc Dragons. Sora advised Lloyd not to be overly critical of himself, as it was unlikely anyone would suspect Jordana of being possessed by a member of the Forbidden Five. Despite Lloyd's urgency to confront Nokt at the Monastery, Sora reminded him that both Nokt and Rox had already made their way there. As Ras and Roby set off towards the Monastery with the intention of halting Nokt, Lloyd reiterated the necessity of their own journey to the Monastery; however, Sora insisted that their presence was required at the Games Plaza. Frak encouraged Sora and the other ninja to proceed ahead while the Elemental Masters fight the Wolf Clan. Consequently, Sora, Lloyd, and Wyldfyre used the Ninja Team Combo Vehicle to meet up with the remaining ninja at the rock bridge.
Sora and the other ninja reached the Monastery of Gates, where the remaining members of the Forbidden Five had successfully escaped from the Nether-Space. Engaging in battle alongside the other ninja and Ras, Sora used her glider to confront Nokt. During the skirmish, Nokt launched a fierce attack on the ninja, resulting in Sora being dislodged from her glider. Amidst the chaos, both Sora and Lloyd witnessed Arin valiantly defending Ras against Nokt, a sight that left them both bewildered. Meanwhile, Nya tapped into Riyu's dragon power and used them on the Crowns of Horns, which enabled her to liberate Kai and Bonzle from the Nether-Space. A battle erupted between Kai and Nokt, with the latter initially gaining the upper hand and preparing to eliminate Kai. However, Roby intervened by used the Elemental Cup to reclaim the powers that Nokt had usurped, thereby restoring them to their rightful bearers, including Sora. The ninja managed to corner Nokt, but he ultimately escaped through a portal gate along with the remaining members of the Forbidden Five, taking Ras with him. Despite Sora and Lloyd's objections, Arin chose to pursue the Forbidden Five in an attempt to rescue Ras. As Sora and Lloyd approached the portal gate, the Forbidden Five destroyed it, leaving Sora devastated as she called out for Arin, coming to terms with the fact that Arin had opted to abandon the ninja.
Sora was the winner by default.
In the aftermath, Sora has been designated as the Champion of the Sources by default, earning recognition as the greatest Elemental Master within the Merged Realms. Subsequently, at Foundation Street, Sora thanked Euphrasia and Tox for their invaluable assistance. Shortly thereafter, she sought out Lloyd to asked about the whereabouts of Jordana, to which Lloyd replied that Jordana had disappeared following her aid to the ninja. Sora emphasized that their success would not have been possible without Jordana's contributions. Lloyd reminisced about a time when Sora had claimed she possessed no Elemental Powers, to which Sora humorously remarked that it felt like an eternity ago. She conveyed her appreciation to Lloyd, acknowledging that her triumph was largely due to his encouragement, alongside the inspiration she drew from both him and Arin. Sora then shared her concerns regarding the rift that had developed between her and Arin, prompting Lloyd to reassure her that they would find Arin. However, Sora expressed her belief that Arin might not wish to be found. As the ninja prepared to return to Ninjago, Sora and Lloyd stumbled upon Wyldfyre and Roby sharing a tender moment, leading Sora to pull Lloyd away when he interrupted. Upon their return to the Monastery of Spinjitzu via a portal gate, Sora and Wyldfyre met up with Riyu, and the trio left together.
Dragons Rising, Season 3
Dragons Rising, Season 3[]
The Missing[]
Still reeling from her best friend's disappearance, Sora decided to try her hand at Arin's pie route. In the morning, she baked several pies and with Riyu's help, set out for the Crossroads to distribute them to all of Arin's friends and neighbors. Unfortunately, to Sora's surprise, her baking proved near deadly and everyone who tried one of Sora's pies, herself included, found themselves retching in disgust. With great reluctance, Sora disposed of her remaining pies and returned to the monastery.
Upon her return, Sora approached Frak and asked for his help in baking pies, recalling that he had taught Arin how to bake them in the first place. Frak's enthusiasm however did not impress Sora, who remarked to Riyu once Frak was out of earshot that she was already starting to regret asking him. Later, she and Frak began practicing the art of baking. While Frak demonstrated his mastery at baking delicious pies, Sora's turned out to feature a "rubber taste not found in most pies." Frak at first began to suggest that she could not expect to master baking on her first try, but before he could finish his sentence, Sora's next pie suddenly deflated, stunning him into silence. Deciding to just try again, Frak changed the subject of discussion over to puppets and Intelligent George, much to Sora's annoyance.
As their conversation continued, Zane stepped into the kitchen and Sora tried to change the topic from Intelligent George by pointing out that Zane liked her pies. Zane affirmed this statement, but also conceded that he lacked taste buds as well. With a sigh, Sora decided to ask him if he had any updates regarding the search for Arin. Zane unfortunately did not have any new updates and offhandedly expressed his hope of finding the smartest and most attractive member of the ninja, a statement that confused Frak who suddenly remarked that Sora was right here in front of them. Sora was almost speechless upon hearing this and Frak quickly stammered that he said nothing. The oven timer then went off and Sora retrieved her next pie, which promptly exploded and splattered across the kitchen.
Shortly afterwards, Sora and Frak entered the hangar bay where they found Zane watching Sora's pie explosion on loop. Embarrassed, Sora asked Zane if he was seriously watching her fail over and over, remarking that she was already humiliated enough as is. In response, Zane stated matter-of-factly that Sora's exploding pie had given him an idea of where Arin may have been sent to. Sora was skeptical at first of this claim until Zane pulled up data to showcase his efforts.
By nightfall, Sora arrived in the Wastelands alongside Lloyd, Zane, Riyu, Frak, and Zanth in search of Arin. Spotting some nearby homes, Sora proposed asking the locals if they had seen him and promptly knocked on a door. As she began to explain their search, the homeowner shouted at Sora to "go away" and slammed the door shut in her face. Dismayed, Sora muttered to herself that she was going to try to not take this action too personally just as the group heard Zanth's roaring from nearby. Rushing out to their friend, the group discovered to their shock that she was locked in combat with Dorama's Puppet, now equipped with laser eye beams!
As the ninja fought against the puppet, Sora noted that Dorama was nowhere to be seen, suggesting that the puppet was now operating on its own. Having previously fought the giant marionette before, Sora decided to quickly end the battle by using her tech power to rip apart its chest panel as she once did before. To her surprise however, the puppet no longer possessed internal mechanisms and thus her powers could no longer stop it. As she then dove behind a rock for cover, Sora wondered aloud if the puppet was now powered by some form of magic while Frak started hollering that Intelligent George was right about everything; Sora refused to engage with Frak on his claims. Moments later, Frak devised an idea to stop the puppet, and with the other ninja keeping it distracted, he retrieved a strange, glowing sword from its head and reduced the puppet back to its lifeless state. After exchanging some snarky comments with Frak, Sora examined the puppet's body and spotted Arin's grapple gun amongst the many weapons lodged into it. As she retrieved the grapple, Sora also spotted a set of tracks leading deeper into the desert. Riyu began to sniff these tracks and began to follow them, with the rest of the group following from behind.
The Ultimate Object of Admiration[]
Following Riyu, the group eventually reached a Treacherous cave. Riyu lost Arin's scent at this spot, and the group now faced a fork in the road; one was the cave, and the other was a very rocky and difficult mountain pass. Frak muttered at first his confusion as to why Arin didn't leave behind a trail of pie crumbs, prompting Sora to remark that it was likely because Arin didn't want to be found. Frak then proposed for the group to search the cave, believing the alternative to have been too dangerous for Arin to traverse across. Since Zanth could not fit inside the cave, Zane offered to ride with her to the other side while Sora and the other three ventured into the cave. Before they parted ways, Sora told Zane that they would see him on the other side before pausing and clarifying she meant the other side of the mountain, not the Departed Realm.
After entering the cave, Frak immediately ran on ahead, declaring he would lead the way. Annoyed with Frak's enthusiasm, Sora whispered her frustrations to Lloyd, though Lloyd gently asked her to go easy on him, as he was just trying to help. In response, Sora defended herself by denying saying anything sarcastic today and almost immediately following this comment by sarcastically mocking Frak's comment that he had a great cave sense. The group then discovered a series of carvings adorning the walls and Frak spoke about his fondness for caves and speleology, which Sora scoffed at. As they came across a narrower passageway, Sora decided to go on first but became uncomfortable when she struggled to squeeze on through. Frak recommended breathing in and out, which Sora followed to calm her nerves and squeeze her way through. As they reached an even narrower gap, Sora sarcastically asked Frak what they should do now, to which he decided to use his quake powers to widen the gap. Unfortunately, Frak's reckless usage of his powers destabilized the cave and triggered a collapse. As they ran for their lives, Sora briefly took pleasure in knowing she was right about Frak's reckless power usage; luckily, the four managed to escape the tunnel, but soon found themselves on a collapsing ledge with nowhere else to go. The four soon plummeted into the river below.
When Sora awoke, she and the other ninja found themselves in the Storm Village, where they met Tyr, the leader of the resident Dragonians. After being treated for their injuries and served some food, the group began wandering about the village. They soon spotted a vendor selling carvings, which Lloyd identified as being of Oni origin. Unfamiliar with the name, Sora asked who the Oni were, drawing hushed expressions towards her from the nearby residents. Unsure if she said anything wrong, Frak pulled Sora to the side and tried to explain the history of the War of Oni and Dragon though he failed to answer any of her questions, forcing Lloyd to step in again. Sora then pointed to a pair of Old Lady Dragonians and asked them about Arin's whereabouts, though her descriptions of Arin failed to leave much of an impression on the old ladies. Eventually, the ninja learned that Arin had passed through their village but was driven away to the South Woods and was most likely dead, for a cyclops roamed the area and a Dragonian Hunting Party had already gone missing there. Although she was shocked by this claim, Sora refused to believe it and stated that Arin was a ninja and likely could have survived.
Arriving in the South Woods, the ninja discovered the hunting party trapped in a pit covered by a massive stone. As they began to work to push the stone, Frak encouraged everyone to push with their knees and not their backs, once again drawing Sora's ire as she shot back in response that this wasn't her first giant rock. They were soon attacked by the Cyclops, Powerlid, or the Ultimate Object of Admiration. After being thrown around like ragdolls by the Cyclops, Frak halted the others from moving and claimed that Cyclopes were incapable of perceiving depth, and thus if they didn't move, Powerlid would not be able to differentiate them from their surroundings. Unfortunately, Frak's claims turned out to be completely wrong, greatly angering Sora who berated Frak for his misinformation and shouted that he nearly got them all killed.
Eventually, Sora thought up a way to defeat Powerlid. Noticing that his primary form of attack was hurling rocks, Sora mocked Powerlid by stating the rocks he had been hurling so far have been quite tiny for someone calling himself the "Ultimate Object of Admiration." After dodging several more stones hurled by the Cyclops, Sora "promised" him that if he could lift the giant rock covering the pit, she would allow him to hit her with it. Powerlid began to do so and lifted it slightly above the ground. Sora however was unimpressed and told him he had to lift it over his head, and when Powerlid did so, he immediately dropped it over his head and knocked himself unconscious. Lloyd and Frak then congratulated Sora for her strategy and the group turned towards rescuing the Dragonian Hunting Party. After helping them out from the pit, Sora quickly asked them if they had seen Arin and the Dragonians directed the ninja southward. Frak then pulled Sora to the side, drawing out another annoyed comment from her, before he admitted he just wanted to apologize to her for his prior showboating behavior. Frak explained that he had hoped to prove he was more than just Ras' stooge and that he felt it was his fault Arin went with Ras. Sora accepted Frak's apology but confessed it was actually her fault for Arin's disappearance and explained that she was so determined to find him because he was her first friend, admitting that she often had difficulty making new friends. Having reconciled, the two joined up with Lloyd and Riyu to continue their search.
The Spectral Lands[]
Sora, Frak, Lloyd, and Riyu set up camp for the night in the First Land.
The Great Zane Robbery[]
Sora and her group continued following Arin's scent throughout the First Land, during which she and Frak entered into an argument who whose gi color was better looking. Sora proclaimed that her white, blue, and pink color scheme was definitively the best one and suggested that Frak did not understand the meaning of the word "subjective," when he tried to state that his black and green gi was "subjectively" better than Sora's. Lloyd interjected to ask the two to stop arguing, to which Sora immediately agreed to, though she was a bit taken aback when Lloyd admitted her preferred green gis himself. They then decided to set up camp for the night, in which Sora built their campfire and shared with the others that Arin was the one who taught her how to build a campfire in the first place. She then admitted she didn't know anyone could miss someone else as much as she missed Arin right now and wondered how Zane was able to cope with P.I.X.A.L.'s significantly longer absence. With the conversation shifting towards Zane, Sora expressed concern over him and Zanth, for they had not heard nor seen their allies sine their groups split up.
I Alone Can Save Them[]
The next morning, Sora and the others discovered an abandoned wooden sled. Inspecting it, Sora wondered if this was the sled Arin had been dragging Ras with, a suggestion Lloyd agreed with. Riyu then sniffed the sled and confirmed that Ras had previously laid upon it. Sora then pointed out two sets of footprints continuing further into the desert. At that moment however, Riyu suddenly sensed something and began leading the group in the opposite direction. While Sora and Lloyd were quick to accept Riyu's lead, Frak was more hesitant and expressed his doubts but Sora shot him down.
After walking for some time, Frak reiterated his thoughts about following Riyu, greatly annoying Sora who shot back that once Frak knew Riyu better, he would trust his instincts. The sun was suddenly blotted out by storm clouds and the four bore witness to the arrival of Zarkt and a group of corrupted Dragonians, including Tyr. As they hid behind some vegetation, Sora asked Riyu if the corrupted Dragonians were what he wanted to show them, to which he nodded sadly in reply. The group then overheard Zarkt's complaints about their fruitless efforts in finding a blade made from a "shimmering metal," to which Frak unsheathed the Prismatic Blade he had been carrying and asked with a whimper if Zarkt was referring to it. Tyr then sensed the blade and immediately attacked the ninja's hiding spot, forcing them into battle with Zarkt and his forces.
In the ensuing battle, Sora was confronted by Tyr. She tried at first to use her Tech powers on him, but unfortunately he lacked any technology for her to use. Tyr then engaged Sora in hand-to-hand combat in which Sora attempted to perform Spinjitzu but failed and was launched into the air. As Tyr attacked again, Riyu intercepted and flung Tyr into the Dragonians that were holding Frak down. As the fight continued, Frak shouted to Sora that he was right all along about not trusting Riyu's instincts, annoying her again and prompting her to defend Riyu. When it seemed like the two were about to be overwhelmed, Zanth returned alongside P.I.X.A.L. and Zane and almost immediately turned the tide against Zarkt.
When Zarkt's forces were defeated and he was forced to retreat, Sora made a mockery out of the Master of Misfortune's threats, pretending that she could not hear Zarkt clearly and sarcastically asking why the ninja would throw a parade for the Forbidden Five. When Zarkt flew off with a huff, Frak clarified with Sora that Zarkt was very clearly saying "blade," not "parade." Zane then informed Sora and the others that the Forbidden Five were searching for the Prismatic Blades for an unknown purpose.
Fallen Wishes[]
Sora and her allies stood in the First Land, analyzing the properties of the Prismatic Blade in their possession. Lloyd asked the group if anyone knew what it could be used for, to which Sora shook her head in response. Suddenly, she and Riyu were teleported to Djinjago where they were reunited with Nya and learned that Arrakore was being hunted by Rox and her Dragonians.
As the three began fighting against Rox's forces, Nya asked Arrakore about his situation, learning that Rox had sought repairs for a broken Prismatic Blade. Sora did not recognize the name and asked about its significance, and was given a detailed explanation from Nya while they exchanged blows with the Dragonians. Thanks to Nya's explanation, Sora realized that her group was in possession of one of the Prismatic Blades.
While fighting, Sora took a moment to glance around Djinjago and complimented Arrakore on how much his realm has returned since they had last visited. Arrakore thanked her and explained that he had been slowly restoring it wish by wish, prompting Sora to wish for Rox and the Dragonians to disappear, though this wish unfortunately was too large to be granted. Sora was flabbergasted by this turn of events, protesting that she said, "I wish." Arrakore then explained that his powers are tied to Djinjago's existence and since he had already granted several wishes today, his energy was mostly drained, yet he could possibly still grant smaller wishes. Spotting Rox flying towards them, Sora wished for Rox's feet to be stuck to the ground. Arrakore granted Sora's wish and she laughed in delight as she watched the dark warrior struggle in confusion. All to eager to make fun of her opponent, Sora nearly made another wish to see the look on Rox's face but quickly stopped Arrakore by explaining it was just a figure of speech. Sora then called out to Nya and Riyu to make wishes as well to even the odds in their battle.
As the battle progressed, Sora made two more wishes: for one Dragonian to be as light as a feather, and for another's helmet to be on backwards. Although the wishes placed significant strain on the ninja's enemies, Nya noticed that each wish that was granted also placed great strain on Arrakore. She then told Sora stop making wishes for now and to continue fighting the old fashioned way. Sora soon found herself tackled to the ground by a Dragonian Warrior and that she could not use her elemental power due to a lack of technology in the area. After watching Riyu kick away the Dragonian trapped in a rubber ball, Sora followed suit and kicked off the Dragonian that was pinning her down. Throughout all this intense fighting however, the ninja failed to notice that Rox had captured Arrakore within an artifact until it was too late.
Heeding Arrakore's call for help, Sora ran behind Nya towards Rox, but unfortunately, with Arrakore now bound to Rox's will, the ninja soon found themselves immobilized mere inches away from their opponent. Rox then wished for the ninja to admit that the Forbidden Five were their superiors in every way, and both Nya and Sora immediately stated as much. Rox then wished for the ninja to unfreeze and bow at her feet, and it too was granted. As they bowed, Sora grumbled that she found their predicament to be humiliating. Glancing upward, she spotted Rox's artifact and realized it was a piece of technology and thus susceptible to her powers. As soon as Rox wished for the ninja to get up, Sora used her powers and ripped the artifact to pieces, releasing Arrakore.
With the Djinn freed, the battle began once more, with Sora and Riyu fending off Dragonians while Nya fought Rox. With the Dragonians defeated, Rox unleashed a wave of Shatterspin, which knocked down Riyu and Sora and escaped. In the aftermath of the battle, Nya and Sora spoke with Arrakore, in which Nya praised the effort he had placed so far in rebuilding his realm and expressed faith that one day, all of Djinjago would be restored. Arrakore thanked her but admitted he would've preferred to have granted nicer wishes, like making kittens appear, sparking Sora's interest. Arrakore then stated he could likely grant one more wish for the day, and Sora tried half seriously at first to request kittens before admitting she was only half serious. Sora then wished for the ninja to be returned to where Arrakore had found them, and Sora and Riyu were teleported back to the First Land where they both landed atop of Lloyd.
Sora then explained to her allies of her encounter with Rox in Djinjago and the purpose of the Prismatic Blades. Lloyd then asked if Sora knew the location of the fifth blade, but she admitted she did not.
Their Draconic Majesty's Request[]
Sora and her allies crossed over to the Monastery of Spinjitzu by using the portal gate in the First Land Monastery. After reuniting with Kai and Nya, the two groups pooled their information about the Forbidden Five and the prismatic blades. Sora then went down to the hangar bay where she used her powers to construct a car and a jet, noting that if they were going to fight Dragonians, they would at least have to be able to fly like them.
Sora and the other ninja then followed a tracker constructed by Zane and P.I.X.A.L. to the World Forest, where to her surprise, they discovered Arin and Ras.
Crashing Together[]
Arin called out to Sora as she stepped out of her jet and asked what the ninja were doing here. Sora began to speak, but hesitated, allowing for Lloyd to demand Arin's return. She remained quiet for the most part as the other ninja refused to believe that Arin had willingly chosen Ras as his new teacher, speaking up only to defend Arin when Zane referred to him as their "former ally." When the ninja realized that Arin was in possession of the final prismatic blade, Sora began to explain the blade's significance just as a tree branch fell atop of her. Luckily, Kai was able to push her out of the way just in time. Arin then began to leave with Ras, but Sora called out to her friend again, only for Frak to intervene by attempting to attack Ras.
When Rogue then swooped in and captured Ras, forcing Arin to go after them, Sora was quick to follow in her jet. As she went, she told the others that she wasn't going to lose Arin again and took off, followed closely by Zane and Riyu. The three were finally able to reach Arin while he was locked in combat with Rogue. Sora caught sight of the bounty hunter preparing to finish Arin, and with a desperate scream, she used her powers to seize control over Rogue's battle armor, sending him flying off into the trees. Even with her intervention, however, the branch Arin was standing on snapped and he began to plummet far towards the ground below. Sora dove in after him, ejecting herself from her jet to reach her friend. Using the grapple gun she had held onto after all this time, Sora fired its cable at Arin, who caught it, and the pair managed to string themselves onto another branch to safety. When they caught each other, Arin began to thank Sora while she apologized profusely to him. The two then looked away with some discomfort until Sora broke the silence, asking for Arin to return with the ninja and promising that they would find his parents this time. The mere mention however brought Arin to tears as he sadly admitted to Sora that he already found his parents: they were dead. Shocked by this revelation, Sora grimaced at first before quietly reaching towards her best friend. After a moment of hesitation, she touched his shoulder and pulled him over for a comforting hug.
Chaos Unchained[]
Regrouping, Sora and the other ninja listened as Arin somberly informed them that his parents were dead. Sora once again offered Arin her condolences and adamantly stated in response to Arin's request to ally with the ninja that she would rather die with her best friend by her side than to be safe without him. As Nya and Kai then began bickering after a reminder of the latter's interference in a picnic between Jay and the former, Sora quietly asked Arin if he ever missed witnessing the dynamic between the ninja. They soon all returned to the monastery to prepare for the battle to come.
Returning to the hangar bay, Sora nearly slipped on the freshly waxed floors, but Zane broke her fall. She then asked him if he knew how long Lloyd's plan would take, to which Zane replied that it should only take a few minutes. Pleased with the response, Sora remarked that a few minutes were all she needed, and she set out to build sets of gliders for each of the ninja, using the one Arin had taken from Rogue as the template for them. While constructing her gliders, Sora went to the relaxation room to search for extra parts and was surprised to see Arin standing there. After apologizing for her intrusion, Arin initiated a conversation with her, admitting that he missed the swing in the relaxation room. Sora then started to apologize for lying to him, but Arin cut her off and assured her that he should be the one apologizing after losing control over his emotions. Things took a turn however, when Arin described how Ras' teachings had been helping him, and that he was now embracing all the anger and hate he carried inside of him. Sora however refused to accept that Arin's greatest strengths lay in his anger and hate, reminding him that from what she saw and knew, his greatest strength came from his kindness, generosity, and hope. At that moment, Nya entered the room and urged both teenagers to come with her, for it was time to go.
After emerging from the First Land Monastery, Sora flew to Storm Mountain in her jet. She and the other the ninja then observed the Winds of Chaos, with Sora climbing atop of Zane to get a better look. They had arrived ahead of Drix's forces and so now planned a course of action to ambush him. When Drix arrived, Sora used her jet to fight back against the Dragonians and urged Arin to go high while she flew low. When the rest of the Forbidden Five and their forces emerged to assist Drix, Sora was immediately attacked by Nokt, who slammed against her cockpit with his power of Brute Force and challenged her to a "rematch" in reference to the last time they saw one another at the Tournament of the Sources. Maneuvering quickly however, Sora was able to shake Nokt off and he gave chase for a moment before noticing that Drix had captured Ras.
For the rest of the battle, Sora focused on battling the Dragonians up until the Five reclaimed the final prismatic blades. Under Lloyd's command, she piloted her jet into the Winds of Chaos but lost control in the raging storm. Thinking quickly, Sora used her powers to combine her jet with P.I.X.A.L.'s car and Zane himself into the Ultra Combiner Mech. With Zane now in control, the three prepared to rescue the rest of their friends who were still drifting about in the storm.
The Shatter Dragon[]
Sora was housed in her jet cockpit, which now formed Zane's arms, as he attempted to rescue the remaining ninja from the howling storm that surrounded them. With some help from Wyldfyre, the ninja were all able to escape from the storm. Riyu however, was not as lucky, and was struck from behind by a stone spit out from the storm and was now plummeting toward a pile of sharpened stones. Having spotted Riyu's descent, Sora used her power of technology to alter Zane's left arm into a cannon and commanded him to fire upon the stones, obliterating them so that Riyu could hit the ground a bit more safely.
When Thunderfang soon emerged from his prison, Sora climbed back into her cockpit and Zane flew them into battle against the Shatter Dragon. Throughout the fight, Sora controlled Zane's blaster arm, firing rounds of energy at the evil dragon until Thunderfang caught the Ultra Combiner Mech with his powerful jaws and began to clamp down. As Sora's compartment began to crack from the pressure exerted by Thunderfang, Even after they were released from the dragon's jaws, the combined mech had sustained too much damage and Sora was forced to use her powers to split it back into its component vehicles and Zane. Sora would then use her jet to combat Thunderfang, but was shot down by a bolt of lightning.
Regrouping with the other ninja, Sora watched as Arin hurled something at Thunderfang which had the effect of calcifying the Shatter Dragon and ending his life. In the aftermath of the battle, Sora rushed to Lloyd's side when his soul was returned to his body before deciding to leave the ninja to accompany Arin on his journey with Ras. Despite her lack of trust in Ras, Sora wished to travel alongside her best friend and to keep an eye on him as he continued under Ras' tutelage.
The Hollow Ones[]
Sora listened to Arin's explanation of everything that had happened to him since the Tournament of the Sources while the two best friends trained together. When Arin asked if Sora helped him again in killing Thunderfang, Sora replied with a laugh that this was all him this time. Nevertheless, Sora confided that she did not trust Ras and she came to protect Arin, because the two of them together would always be a team, not Ras. As if saying his name summoned him, Ras approached the pair and ordered them to pack their things, for he now knew their next destination. Sora sarcastically questioned how Ras received his information, but Ras refused to answer, instead directing them to the Race bikes that Sora had made earlier. She and Arin then began to pack up their things, but not without openly wondering what the ninja were up to now.
As the sun began to set, the trio set out for Abracalabria. Sora again questioned Ras, pointing out that three hours ago, he seemingly had no idea of where to go, yet now all of a sudden, he has answers. Irritated by Sora's questioning, Ras rode off further from her while warning her not to further test his patience. Upon arriving outside the gates of Abracalabria, the group were met by a group of Wizards and two Cyclopses who informed them that visitors were no longer welcome. Sora then groaned as Ras pulled out his hammer and began attacking the Wizards, intent on entering the city by force. Arin and Sora then tried walking off, but some of the other wizards tried firing bolts of lightning at them. Arin protested that they were just about to leave and one of the wizards shouted in reply that maybe the three were the ones who attacked their city the night before. This comment confused Sora who protested that they were nowhere near Abracalabria the night before.
After finally entering the city, the three discovered to their shock and horror that its inhabitants had been hollowed, rendered to a state of living death. Sora now realized that this was probably why the security detail outside didn't want them to enter. The other townsfolk then took note of the group's status as outsiders and angrily wondered too if they were their attackers from the night before. Fortunately, Gandalaria interjected just in time to vouch for Sora and Arin at the very least and Sora greeted her with a warm hug. The Sorceress then began explaining the circumstances surrounding the previous night, and Sora wondered if it were the work of the Soul Suckers Arin had encountered in the Spectral Lands. Sora then asked Gandalaria about the creepy noises they had heard, just as Kur appeared in the sky, playing a Magical flute.

As Sora looked at the portal gate, she noted that such gates were usually found in monasteries, yet there was none in sight. She began to formulate a theory about it, but was cut off by Wyldfyre and Frak, who were frustrated by their inability to use their powers properly. Sora attempted to comfort Frak, who was doubting his self-worth, reminding him that his value was not defined by his abilities. However, both Wyldfyre and Frak disagreed. Sora emphasized that she had been solving problems long before gaining her Elemental Power, highlighting the urgency of their situation. They needed to understand why the portal had brought them to this unfamiliar place. She cautioned that without a functioning portal gate, they would have to walk, only to discover that it was always dawn everywhere, leaving them unsure of which direction to take.
