- Are you know him? - asked a suprised Aaron.

The lion growled. - I don't just know him! He's the worst creature, that exists in Ninjago. A vile, manipulative creature.

- Can you tell us about him? - asked an interested Kai.

- Yes of course. Let me, tell you the story.

Darkness grunted, placing a paw on his chest. he blew and a dark mist flew out of his maw, which formed into a screen.

Everyone in the room sighed in awe, as images began to appear in the screen.

- A long time ago, during the wars between myself and the First Spinjitzu Master and my sister, I created a creature, that arose from the powers of the dark arts and the shadows. His name was Werath. He was my right hand and a spy on earth. He watched everything, what happened on the surface and all the actions of the First Master and Aya against me.

An image of a humanoid dragon appeared in the mist, facing the dark spirit called Overlord. Instead of the four hands it now possessed, it had two. 

He possessed a rather interesting ability. Crystal control. When he stepped, blade-sharp crystals sprouted up behind him, which were also based on emotions. During battles, his crystals would bring down an entire army in five minutes.

The image of the mist changed, to show a creature walking through the wilderness with sharp black crystals rising from the ground behind him. In his hand he hold a sharp, vengenstone sword, and in front of him stood the army of the First Spinjitzu Master.

In those days, I treated him as my apprentice, whom I trained to be prepared for all circumstances. During that fateful clash with the First Spinjitzu Master and my sister, I created an army made of stone to be a support for Werath, who also created his army. An army created from Vengestone and crystals.

The image changed again and showed the Crystal King, who was at the head of an army of dark pink crystal werewolves, who were armed with crystal weapons of all kinds. There were also dozens of stone warriors in the army. Behind the army was a dark purple mist, that smiled sinisterly.

- Just when, I thought Aya and the First Spinjitzu Master would not be able to defend themselves, and the army completely surrounded them, they split Ninjago into two parts. I occupied the dark part, while both armies were trapped on the light side of power. Along with this was lost Werath, who was nowhere to be found, even after possessing Lord Garmadon and turning into a dragon.

The image now showed Overlord in the shape of a dragon, searching the numerous cliffs and holes in the ground for something. 

- When Lloyd and (Y/N) defeated me, I returned to the underground again and hide in the darkest corners of the underground. Eventually, I came across him. My apprentice. He was motionless, completely...like a rock. Of course, with the help of power, I brought him back to life, but he... was no longer the same as before.

The image depicted the now, living King and Overlord, who was just a ball of power. Werath looked at him with hatred in his eyes and clenched his hands into fists.

- Werath no longer obeyed me. All he cared about was revenge against me, Aya and the First Spinjitzu Master. He wanted to destroy me first and seize my power for himself in order, to destroy them later. He was like a demon, who saw only the desire for revenge.

- I could not afford the brazen betrayal, he had done to me and decided to turn him into a crystal, so that he would no longer be a threat to me. Once he was turned into that pathetic piece of rock, I focused on my next plans for revenge against you. However, I still didn't know that he would one day return and find allies to be his pawns on the chessboard.

The mist dissipated into the air, and Darkness sighed.

- Apparently, someone among the mortals had found the crystal containing Werath and allowed it to grow in strength.

- Yes. And we know perfectly well who. - Kai said.

- Yes. The same person, who resurrected Garmadon and was supposedly dead.- Aaron said.

- Whoever did this, is making a huge mistake. Werath whatever he promised them, he won't do it. He is a savage beast, who is eager for power and revenge against us. Including (Y/N), which he has turned against us. - explained The Wise King.

- Well then we have a big problem. - replied Kai.

- What do you mean? - Aya asked.

- The Crystal King has managed to create a mountain from the ground, that is heading to Ninjago City. According to the ghost of (Y/N) that Saber saw this will give him great power and something even more great. Some... important step in the great plan. - explained the Master of Fire.

The siblings gasped, widening their eyes.

- Oh no. He wants to create a gateway between dimensions! He wants to get here! - explained Aya in a worried tone.

- How close is the mountain? - Darkness asked.

- 'When we were still in Ninjago, it was somewhere by... that big power plant. Still quite far from the city.

- And the army, what about it? - Aya asked.

- The army has been silent so far. Nothing was happening, as if they were waiting for something.- shrugged his shoulders Aaron.

- Apparently they're waiting for the mountain to reach the city and start the invasion of Ninjago. They are gathering their forces. - said Darkness.

- 'And what do we do now? - Kai asked.

- I don't have an idea at the moment. As long as we don't have (Y/N) on our side, we don't know what to expect. Peacebreaker, the dark side of (Y/N), is probably very dangerous.

- Saber told us, that she saw a ghost of (Y/N), who is locked inside her head. She said, Saber must master his new abilities. He will be able to take her over, and she could oppose Peacebreaker. She said, he needs to look for information about the Ancient Power. - Aaron said.

- Ancient Power? Those arts, that Deep Magic established, to be a balance. This was my power, before I gave it (Y/N) in exchange for her magic.

- (Y/N) having these powers, already discovered is virtually unstoppable, unbeatable. She has power, comparable to the First Master, which means, she is also on par with you, sister. - Darkness said.

- So what? Will you help us in the fight? - asked Kai in a pleading tone.

- Well, of course we will. I have to deal with what I created these, thousands of years ago. A weapon, that must be destroyed.

- Awesome!  So when do we move? - Aaron asked cheerfully.

- Immediately. But for now I have to prepare for this clash. My sister, who is already prepared to go down to Ninjago, will go with you and Clevertus, right?

- Yes. I am already ready and full of power, to save Ninjago. We are moving at dawn, but for now, rest. Saskia will take you to your temporary chambers.

- Of course. Please, follow me. - Saskia said and started walking to the door, and the boys and the dragon followed her.

Aya looked at Darkness, who looked down, and his ears flattened.

- We have a lot of work ahead of us. Let's start preparing.... I will personally destroy, what I have created. Although it won't be easy... I will fulfill this task to the end. - he said with determination, looking into the camera.
