· As you know the story is an AU, so not everything will be canon as seen in the Ninjago series, (well in some cases yes). But if chronological times were taken into account as they happen in the series. And it may also include characters that do not appear in the series but have been mentioned.

· The events of the story take place after the First Master of Spinjitzu dies as it happens in the series. But in my story Garmadon is never bitten by the Great Devourer. Garmadon and Wu are left in charge of caring for and protecting their father's land and continue to maintain the alliance with the Serpentine tribes, as well as the other alliances with the other cities and tribes in Ninjago. When Ninjago was reaching the modern and technological age, it was there that the Great Tyrant (The Overlord) launched his macabre plan.

· The Dark Lord knew that he could not leave the Dark Isle as a feeble spirit without a body to possess or create. But one day a young Pythor traveled to the Dark Isle on his own with the intention of finding a source of power that would help him win the leadership of his tribe since he could not stand being under the orders of weak generals who only try to maintain the peace with humans

· Pythor was a young serpentine with an overarching ideology that made him think the serpentines deserved to conquer the land of Ninjago since they were stronger than humans and other species, and he resented seeing his species follow human orders that hinted at peaceful dealings. All his life he focused on finding a way to have control of Ninjago and when he discovered the history of the Dark Island he believed that there would be a way to have control of Ninjago, he traveled alone to the Dark Island and there he found himself with the feeble spirit of the Great Tyrant.

· The Dark Lord managed to persuade Pythor so that he could possess him and activate the Dark Island again. The Great Tyrant made a deal with Pythor to be able to conquer Ninjago in his own way, Pythor would conquer Ninjago to its inhabitants and give him full control of the Great Devourer as long as he accepted the Overlord as his true master and brought him to the Oni Temple. , where he could create his new body and live in his own way. With the deal made, Pythor let the spirit of the Great Tyrant be within him in order to get him off the Island and back to Ninjago.

· But before those events, Garmadon and Wu managed to make Ninjago a good place, in addition to creating a team of Elemental Masters who were in charge of protecting several of Ninjago's places in their own way, and only the four main elements of creation were left kept under the protection of the two brothers. Ray, Master of Fire, Lily, Master of Earth, Libber, Master of Lightning, and Ice, Master of Ice were the four main keepers of the Golden Weapons, gifts of the First Master of Spinjitzu, and together with the brothers they traveled all of Ninjago in order to prevent any trace of conflict in order to keep the peace.

· In addition, Garmadon and Wu knew about all the prophecies that their father left them before he died, since they still had feelings that the Great Tyrant would return for revenge after not being completely defeated by their father after dividing the entire land of Ninjago, It is for this reason that they trained each generation of elemental masters to be able to be prepared for any danger, as well as other groups of warriors who seek to protect their towns and cities from any danger.

· Being part of the Serpentine council, Pythor managed to get close to Aspheera, the right hand of King Serpentine Mambo V, and future sorceress of the Serpentine, Aspheera, like Pythor, hates that the Serpentine submit to the agreements of humans and other Ninjago tribes. , and wished he could get rid of the Serpentine's weaknesses. Being on the same terms, Pythor introduced him to the spirit of the Overlord and together they devised a plan to be able to definitively conquer Ninjago.

· The Dark Lord showed powerful dark magic to Aspheera, who quickly mastered it. The two secretly managed to get followers from all the Serpentine tribes, and during a meeting of the Serpentine council they managed to meet Chen, a man with a large following who wanted to give the Serpentine all kinds of resources in exchange for helping them get various lands for his loyal followers. Obviously this was rejected by the generals and King Mambo V since this would bring disputes between some humans, but secretly Pythor called Chen who would give him whatever he wanted as long as he helped him with his plan to conquer Ninjago, Chen accepted without hesitation. Pythor's deal and was even presented to the Great Tyrant who accepted it and gave him the elemental power absorption crystal, only that he would have to use it at the right time.

· When he managed to get the largest number of followers, both humans loyal to Chen and Serpentine, Pythor and Aspheera managed to create a coup against the forces of King Mambo V and to demonstrate force of authority, Pythor challenged King Mambo to a fight on the famous Platform. Right in the ancestral city of Ouroboros, there all the serpentines gathered and witnessed the combat, and unfortunately Pythor managed to be the winner, but no one noticed that he cheated by using part of the power of the Great Tyrant and Aspheera's magic.

· Pythor, proclaiming himself the victor, murdered King Mambo V in front of all the serpentines to teach them a lesson about what happens to weak serpentines, in addition to being able to establish some fear in front of everyone, the Anacondrai generals, who were loyal to king Mambo V, tried to stop Pythor but they were all banished by Aspheera to the Cursed Realm. Fearing Pythor's strength, the Serpentine had no choice but to accept Pythor as their new Serpentine King. And that was how the conquest of Ninjago began. However, some serpentine managed to escape the madness of Pyhtor and his followers.

· When the news reached the ears of Garmadon and Wu, they quickly assembled a rebellion against Pythor but it was not enough, as Pythor's forces were too many and when he finally managed to conquer the city of Ninjao it was impossible for the two brothers to try to win save her, not even with their combined dragon power and Oni managed to defeat Pythor's army. Their only option was to save as many citizens as possible and be able to take them to a safe place, they even warned other towns to flee as soon as possible. With the help of some good serpentine they managed to bring the refugees to an old pyramid in the desert which had a huge large underground chamber that they used as an underground shelter. And they managed to hide the pyramid thanks to the powers of Lily, the Master of the earth. In addition, where the original serpentine tombs would be, these were modified to be rebel bases where other refugees and people loyal to the rebellion would be housed. And the Spinjitzu Monastery was protected for the moment by the four dragons of creation and guardians of the golden weapons, plus some members of the rebellion and elemental teachers, but the desert pyramid had to be hidden for the good of the citizens and his rebel army, even some elemental masters and members of the rebellion don't know of his location, only Garmadon and Wu.

· And as Pythor promised, he himself, along with Aspheera, took the Great Tyrant to the Oni temple, where Aspheera created a spell that made the Supreme Lord recover a new body made thanks to the dark crystals that were in the temple. With his new powers, the Great Titan managed to awaken his stone army, which was buried in the city of Ninjago. Several of the warriors stayed behind to protect the Great Tyrant's fortress while a number of Stone Warriors left to serve the Serpentine. In addition, using his dark power, he managed to make the weather in Ninjago cold and dark, the sun was no longer seen as it was covered by huge black and gray clouds, since then Ninjago lost its shine.

· Humans who failed to escape became slaves to the Serpentine. Several of the enslaved humans began to live underground as they were put to work in mines to collect minerals for the Serpentine. The city of Ninjago was placed under the command of Chen, where a huge palace surrounded by walls was built in the center of the city where even humans loyal to Chen live, who were turned into noble warriors trained in the arts of the serpentine.

· Wu and Garmadon did their best to rescue as many humans held captive by the serpentine with the help of the elemental masters, but it still wasn't enough. But after traveling to a Monastery hidden in the snowy mountains of Ninjago, they met an old friend of the First Master of Spinjitzu, an old monk named Quanish, who used to live in the Kingdom of Clouds, a city sharpened by prophecies in all realms connected to Ninjago. The old man, before dying of old age, prophesied a new prophecy bequeathed to him by the First Master of Spinjitzu, that when darkness rises in Ninjago the new heir to the First Master will rise to defeat the Great Tyrant once and for all and be serious recognized as the Green Ninja. He even also added that the four golden weapons will be activated again when the new inheritors of the four elements of creation show up.

· At first they thought that they were the four original elemental masters but it was not like that, since the golden weapons did not respond to them, so Wu and Garmadon set out to train the new generations of elemental masters until the true protectors of the Ninja Green were present. Time passed and it seemed that nothing was progressing for the rebellion, and some of the members even left the rebellion as they considered the group a lost cause.

· Some elemental masters were even betrayed and handed over to Chen in order to get special treatment and not be enslaved. Some Elemental Masters lost the battle and were captured by the serpentine or stone army. Chen used the absorption crystal given to him by the Great Tyrant and used it to absorb elemental powers, luckily the heirs of those fallen elemental masters were still free and united with the rebellion.

· But then what would be a miracle for everyone happened, since after Garmadon married Misako and she became pregnant, they discovered that when their son was born he emitted the golden energy emitted by the First Master of Spinjitzu, since then they learned that the original Green Ninja was born. This brought hope for the rebellion as they knew that Garmadon and Misako's son was the future savior of Ninjago.

· But after a year, what many did not expect happened, the rebellion was betrayed by two elemental masters, called Krux and Acronix, who shared the elemental power of time, the two brothers wanted more influence for themselves and betrayed the two Spinjitzu brothers and the elemental alliance. With the help of Serpentine forces, they attacked the monastery and tried to steal Lloyd, son of Garmadon and Misako, so they could hand him over to the Overlord.

· However, the serpentine group led by the two brothers were intercepted by the rebellious people of Ignacia, who were protected by Ray the Master of fire and Maya, the Mistress of water. But the town managed to be defeated by the elemental powers of the two brothers, more by the group of Stone Warriors that were with them, but during the fight Ray and Maya managed to save Lloyd and knowing that they could not return to the rebellion with Lloyd , they took the future savior with the two people who would keep him safe, their two children Kai and Nya, who were still young back then. In addition, so that the citizens would not have a terrible punishment, Ray and Maya offered to help Krux and Acronix together with the serpentine forces, the two brothers accepted the deal since they knew that they had the famous couple of blacksmiths, who were the best throughout Ninjago, under his command they could increase the defenses of the serpentine army.

· And as promised, the time brothers convinced Chen not to punish the citizens of Ignacia, however, they were all made slaves to work on the surface and underground crops, but some of them were transferred to the mines and city quarries. Kai, Nya and Lloyd were in the farming area for a while but later they were taken to the iron mines. Ray and Maya were placed in the depths of Chen's palace to work tirelessly on blueprints and weapons for the serpentine army. Some members of the rebellion believed that they too had become traitors by working for the Serpentine forces.

· When Garmadon and Wu heard this news about Ray and Maya they tried to locate their children Kai and Nya but never found them, just like Lloyd, but Garmadon still doesn't give up on the search for his son, just like others members of the rebellion. They even spread the prophecy about the Green Ninja in the hope that someone will find Lloyd's whereabouts and go quickly to meet him and take him safely to the rebel base.

· The Serpentine army increased thanks to the fact that Pythor gave the Time brothers eggs that the Great Devourer laid in order to create a new race of serpentine called Vermillion, Krux mainly worked on its creation and Acronix was in charge of supervising the materials that Ray made and Maya for the serpentine army.

· Despite not winning the war yet, they have still won battles, this still makes the citizens still have hope for them. And the rebels use tunnels made by their serpentine allies to better navigate the weapons and slave areas of both Ouroboros and Ninjago City. They even use the city drains and sewers to make it easier to get around.

· Ouroboros is mainly controlled by Pythor, it also became the main home of the Great Devourer, which is fed by human sacrifices or other Serpentine who are not in favor of Pythor's reign. While Chen is in charge of the dominance of the city of Ninjago, where mainly only the enslaved citizens are found, he also makes sure that the towns outside of Ninjago are in charge of paying taxes, the slaves must pay to have food, and cruelly officers are paid very little. The means of work are: mining, construction, cargo, crops, livestock, engineering or being turned into servants in Chen's palace among other means of work. And each work area is too difficult for many humans, even children are forced to work and sometimes everyone is punished every time the work is not done or when the rebels make direct attacks on the work areas. This sometimes even makes some humans angry with the rebellion since Pythor and Chen's goal is that no slave has the trust of the rebels.

· The way of life of the slaves looked quite humble, several lived in normal houses, but many had to live underground in small huts, made of wood, cement, tents or structures inside some caves in the mines. There were even small villas in the city where several slaves lived. The factories were mainly located near Chen's palace. And on some occasions some slaves were chosen to be transferred to Ouroboros either by punishment or Chen's choice to be turned into gladiators for the entertainment of the serpentine who would gather on the Ouroboros Platform and watch their combats, both between humans, serpentine and other creatures.

· The Kryptarium prison was converted into a prison for humans who are sent to Ouroboros, more for traitorous serpentines and elemental masters. And the work of the prisoners is to break stones to find valuable minerals while the rest is taken to the other slave mines in Ninjago.

· The overlord does nothing but watch the entire land of Ninjago while in a deep sleep, waking up only when he orders Chen and Pythor what to do in their respective realms. He communicates with them through a huge black crystal that they both have in their private rooms.
