• A few years passed and the battle of the Wu Resistance and Garmadon's forces was still far from over, many towns were already enslaved, kingdoms had already fallen and there were still others that still showed resistance, Garmadon left several members of his nobles in charge of the kingdom while traveling through Ninjago to make various conquests.

• Now Wu was in charge of training the four new protectors of Ninjago. Wu named them "Ninjas", and the former Four Elemental Masters passed down their Golden Weapons to them. Many of the rebels also trained under Wu's tutelage. The rebels are so loyal that they don't even count the locations of the rebel bases in the area that Wu has been when they are captured by Garmadon, and if they were to reveal the information, Wu created many camouflage systems for their bases and even rebel streamers that joined Wu created tunnels so that the rebels can move and hide more easily in case before Garmadon's guards came to attack.

• Garmadon has managed to capture many rebels, when he takes them prisoner, he tortures them to make them reveal Wu's whereabouts, but there are times when he kills most of them on the battlefield so that they would not be taken prisoners or slaves. When he goes to the battlefield, Garmadon is usually under the influence of the Great Devourer's poison so that he does not falter because of his kindly weakness.

• Very few rebels manage to escape from the palace prison, and not many make it out alive. Although the citizens live hard, very few risk helping the rebels, and if not, other citizens betray them in order to receive a good reward from Garmadon's soldiers. And not the entire kingdom knows of the existence of the young Prince Lloyd, only the nobles of Garmadon know it, but they see him very little, the other citizens are those who have never seen him, many think that the existence of Prince Lloyd is a lie. Not even the rebels can find out if Lloyd's existence is true or not.

• The new Ninjas are the ones who lead several of the rebel forces of the Resistance, their names were: Kai Smith, Cole Bucket, Jay Walker (Gordon), and Zane Julien. They began training together at a young age in the palace of Ninjago and after fleeing the palace their training became more severe and stronger in order to survive on the battlefields of Garmadon, the four became the new hope of the Resistance.

• Kai Smith inherited the Fire Sword from his father, Ray Smith, Garmadon's former royal guard, and became the new Master of Fire. Kai trained at the Ninjago palace at a young age, became a great swordsman like his father, even accompanied his mother Maya in protecting Empress Misako, and became an older brother when his younger sister, Nya, was born, who inherited her mother's powers and she one of the strongest rebels in the Resistance.

• Before the tyranny of Emperor Garmadon when he was possessed by the Overlord, Kai had great respect and affection for Garmadon, and that was because his parents spent too much time with the royal family, he practically grew up with them, Wu was his main teacher in the martial arts, and grew up training alongside his friends Cole, Jay and Zane. Additionally, he traveled extensively with his father on many expeditions throughout the land of Ninjago.

• After forming the Resistance, Kai and his friends changed their training to a more serious one since they now knew they had to survive in the new reign of Emperor Garmadon, and he took the title of Red Ninja. Kai managed to become a great leader over time, he was the one who came out the most from the rebel hideouts to lead various groups on the battlefield, Kai was always at the forefront of the battle and became the best fighter of the rebellion, even Kai managed to free many slaves from the work areas.

• Cole Bucket inherited the Earthquake Sickle from his mother, Lily, the former Earthbender, and now Cole has inherited that position. Cole lived for a time outside the palace with his family in a field, a home that belonged to his father Lou, but as his mother went on more and more missions, his family moved to the palace where Cole began his training and studies there with Wu, Cole became Jay's best friend, and the two always played in the forest near the palace.

• Cole was known in the palace as the strongest child, and many believed it was due to the earth elemental power he inherited from his mother, he was even able to knock down several guards with his bare hands when training with Wu. He fought a lot with Kai and they both had their own combat scoreboard, he was also a great climber, he even always managed to climb the walls of the palace. Cole also liked to play music, his father always gave him musical instruments and Cole became very good at playing any musical instrument.

• When they fled the kingdom Cole became the strongest rebel and was in charge of providing good defenses to their bases, his mother Lily died due to an illness that could not be treated, before dying Lily gave Cole the Sickle of the Earthquakes, that's how he inherited the title of the new Master of Earth and took the title of Black Ninja. By using his powers, Cole managed to create several shelters and defenses for all the rebel bases, in addition, he sent her father with the refugees so that he would be safe.

• Zane Julien inherited the Ice Shurikens from his master and guardian, Ice, the former Master of Ice, lived outside the palace along with his father, Dr. Julien, but since his father was in the palace, Zane initially lived in the palace. house of the famous inventor Cyrus Borg, there he met Pixal, Cyrus' daughter, both became great friends since they were children and still are, they even began to feel feelings for each other, but then Zane was chosen as the current protégé of the Master Ice, who, having no heirs, decided to choose Zane as his main heir. Zane was sent to live in the palace and was under Wu's tutelage. Zane trained with Ice while studying with Wu, before long, Zane became the smartest boy in the palace.

• Zane spent his time reading all the books in the palace, and was quite calm when training with Kai, Cole and Jay. He would sometimes even invite Pixal to the palace so that she too could read the books and experience the wonders of the royal palace of Ninjago. In addition, he helped Jay and Nya in their inventions with the artisans who lived in the palace. Zane managed to obtain a pet falcon, training it to send messages to Pixal when she was not in the palace. Additionally, Zane managed to build a wheelchair for Cyrus after Garmadon's guards left him crippled in both legs.

• After the creation of the Resistance Zane helped Wu continue deciphering the prophecy of the Green Ninja, and even became a great strategist for the rebellion, after Ice died in combat Zane inherited the Ice Shurikens, and became In the White Ninja, he does not go much to the front of the battle but he knows how to create great strategies to be able to defeat several guards on the battlefield, in addition, his falcon is now a messenger that sends messages to the infiltrators in Garmadon's nobility to provide information the Resistance.

• Jay Walker (Gordon) inherited the Lightning Nunchucks from his mother, Libby, a former lightning teacher. Jay also lived for a time in the country with his father Cliff Gordon, then Libby proposed that they move in at the palace so Jay could get started training him as the future Lightning Master. When he moved to the palace, Jay became best friends with Cole and Nya, he accompanied Cole out of the palace to explore the forest, Jay was not the strongest in training but he was the fastest, he beat everyone in many races when they trained in the palace courtyard.

• Jay loved to explore the workshops of the artisans who lived in the palace, together with Nya they always sneaked to the library so they could steal the plans of the inventions that were registered and improve them. Since he is not good at using heavy weapons, Jay has always used light weapons. Plus, being the smallest and fastest of his friends, it was easy for Jay to sneak into the kitchen and steal snacks.

• After hiding with Wu, Jay's parents, Libby and Cliff died in combat and the Nunchakus were given to him to be the new Lightning Master and Blue Ninja. He was welcomed by his godparents Ed and Edna and for that reason he changed his last name. After learning a lot from the artisans of the kingdom, Jay managed to invent great defenses for the rebellion, he was in charge of the evacuation of the freed slaves and Nya became his girlfriend after they both grew up and were part of the rebellion, Kai sometimes makes fun of their relationship but Jay is grateful that he considers him worthy to be with Nya.

• The Overlord always forced Garmadon to steal the Golden Weapons because they were the key to completely taking over Ninjago. But even with some rebels captured, Garmadon never managed to get a clue to the whereabouts of the four Ninjas.

• Meanwhile, Lloyd became a shy and innocent boy who was unaware of the actions of his father, Emperor Garmadon. The little boy grew up isolated inside the palace and almost never went out, the only thing he saw outside was the forest near the palace. But Lloyd still didn't leave his room, he was surrounded by tutors and servants who did everything for him, and he even saw his father from time to time.

• When Garmadon was free from the influence of the Overlord or the poison he always went to see Lloyd, which was sometimes strange for Lloyd, since he grew up seeing how his father always left the palace to conquer kingdoms and fight in various battles against the rebels, Lloyd didn't even know much about her mother, Misako, her guardians were under strict orders not to mention much about the Empress and all he heard about her was that she was a good Empress and wife in the past.

• Lloyd didn't even know that his father had a human form, he knows of the existence of the Overlord, but he doesn't know how he actually got to Ninjago or how he possessed his father. All he knows about his father's reign is that he did all this destruction so he could have true peace over Ninjago, Lloyd doesn't even know that Wu, the leader of the rebels, is his uncle.
