Garmadon's ultimate weapon, the Garmatron (Which in effect is a giant Cannon), is completed. The Overlord, the Stone Army, and Garmadon drive the vehicle to the coast of the Dark Island, but not before testing it out on Nya. The Ninja pursue Garmadon to the coast, and discover that Nya has turned evil, gaining all of Garmadon's dark abilities in the process. Kai, Jay, Zane, and Cole stay behind to deal with Nya, while Lloyd, Misako, and Sensei Wu rush to stop the Garmatron. They fail, and Garmadon turns Jamonkai Village, and the town around Four Weapons evil. The shift in the balance of good and evil allows the Overlord to poccess Garmadon's body and begin to transform into his original form. Lloyd challenges him, but is injured in the resulting battle.
Long before time had a name, Ninjago was created by the First Spinjitzu Master by using the Four Elemental Weapons of Spinjitzu; weapons so powerful, no one can handle all of their power at once. When he passed away, his two sons swore to protect them, but the oldest, Lord Garmadon, was consumed by darkness and wanted to possess them all. A battle between brothers broke out and Lord Garmadon was struck down and banished to the Underworld. Peace returned to Ninjago as the younger brother, Sensei Wu, hid the elemental weapons in the far corners of Ninjago.
