Curate, connect, and discover
Okay, so this is a story i might write but I do want to get it out there and see if anyone is interested in reading it.
So the series would be about the previous two sets of Elemental Masters of Ninjago, since some got their Element earlier, others later, and its a whole jumbled mess. The main focus would be these characters.
Keahi Kalama, The Master of Fire, and known as the Wildfire Archer, for when his arrows strike they wrupt into flames. He is also known for using different pouches full of powder to change the color and deadliness of his fire and to make the smoke itself poisonous. (Father of Ray Kalama, Grandfather of Kai and Nya Kalama)
Jiang Daiyu, the Master of Water, and known as the Tide-Bringer for she swept an army from the beach when they threatened her home village. She prefers to use a fishing spear as a weapon, simply because she knows how to use it best, and she is one of the strongest Elemental Masters of the Alliance. (Mother of Jiang Mei Lien (Maya), Grandmother of Kai and Nya Kalama)
Gerald D'Angelo, the Master of Earth, and known as the Shield for his control in forming shields to defend his allies. Most commonly seen using a massive war hammer to manipulate the earth and is naturally strong, breaking bones in a single punch. (Father of Lilly D'Angelo, Grandfather of Cole Brookstone)
Aspen, the Master of Ice, and known as the Bringer of Winter for he rarely is seen during missions in summer but once he begins being seen it means winter is coming. Used two long blades coated in poison that left his enemies rotting but frostbitten, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies. (Unknown relation to Zane Julien)
Petir, the Master of Lightning, and known as the Blue Serpent for his powerful strikes using the Imperial Adder fighting style. So fast, very few of his oppenents stand a chance when facing him outright even when they outmatch him in strength because he has experience and speed. No known weapons used. (Father of Lyn, Grandfather of Jay Walker)
Eteri, the Master of Wind, and known as Tempest for in battle she could summon massive tornadoes that left gouges in Ninjago still seen in modern day geography. Rarely every used weapons, but carried Tessens, war fans, with sharp blades in case her element became disabled or she needed to fight without it. One of the strongest members of the Elemental Alliance. (Mother of Morro)
Aryan, the Master of Smoke, and known as the Ghost Samurai, for his ability to turn himself to smoke and travel quickly made people believe he was a ghost. A samurai that teamed up with the Elemental Alliance, because they were being threatened by the Emperor of Ninjago. Wore black armor and had a sword passed down to him that was still as sharp as the day it had been forged. (Father of Morro)
And Garmadon.
I wanted to do a series about how Elemental Masters weren't trusted or revered until recent years and that's why Morro never used his Element on the streets. It would show the Emporer basically deciding he wanted all elemental masters dead, not understanding very well that the elements would simply pass on, and sent out his army creating a period of war and strife.
A lot of the secondary Elemental Masters stayed in hiding with Wu, who did not wish to fight, while Garmadon led his own group to fight back and try to force the Emporer to leave them alone.
The main characters though would be Eteri and Aryan, Morro's parents, and we would see what happened leading up to him being 'abandoned' in Jamanakai at the base of Wu's Monastery. I thought it would be interesting to explore if his parents did not actually abandon him but circumstances happened and he ended up alone.
Parts of the story would flash forward to when Garmadon is talking of his old friends, finally sharing the information all of the ninja wanted before revealing Morro's parentage. (He's there because he's trying to redeem himself.)
So, what do you think?

Kai, their brother/father figure: Not a dragon in any way, shape or form but dragons really like him for some reason
Random disorganized Ninjago headcanons (beware there is Hotwire ((Pixal x Kai)) stuff near the bottom)
• Kai can play electric and acoustic guitar, he’s better at acoustic guitar though due to using his dads to play for Nya when their parents disappeared
• The ninjas love languages are all bullying each other affectionately
• How they play the game chicken, Cole, Jay, and Kai will sneak into Wu’s room and will have each other drink suspicious sounding teas, first to back out/not be able to continue drinking the teas will have to take the other twos chores (they almost never get caught somehow)
• PIXAL can somehow find anything if you ask for her to search for it. When the ninja lose something, they’ll always go to her to find it.
• Zane and PIXAL have a grudge against the coffee bot (there’s no reason why, they just hate her.)
• Jay needs glasses but refuses to wear them as he thought they were a hinderance to inventing cause they’d always slip off when he was testing.
• Cole is the only one out of all the ninja that can walk through a haunted house and not scream once, scare actors do startle Zane enough to scream but Cole sorta just laughs at the others misery and forgets that he should be scared too.
• All of the ninja fear PIXAL
• Kai is the kind of person who’s really smart but shows off as lazy, impulsive, and cocky. (Think like Ranpo Edogawa or Rio Nakamura)
• Nya can beat almost every ninja in an arm wrestle (Only people she cannot beat is Cole, PIXAL and Lloyd)
• Cole, Kai, and Lloyd are aroace I don’t make the rules
• Every Friday, Cole will go to Shintaro with a gaming console and a spare tv to play video games with Vania (and even some of the guards)
• Everyone but PIXAL and Kai have fallen for scams once in their time as a ninja.
• Wu says he doesn’t have favorites, he does.
• (cough cough, it’s Cole but Zane is a close second)
• Lilly and Libby (Cole and Jay’s moms) have trained beside one another under the guidance of Wu, Lightning and earth elemental masters were born to be close friends
• Jay has microwaved a gummy pizza, a metal bowl, play dough, a plant, and a cheese stick. He was banned from using the microwave without permission
• Cole gets his poor cooking skills from his mom
• After season 11, Wu had two favorites
• (it’s cole and Pixal, Zane is still a really close second)
• Nya and Zane trust Lloyd to be in charge more then any other ninja when they’re gone
• Kai and PIXAL bicker a lot and about anything and everything.
• These arguments almost always end in Nya and Zane having to separate the two by force with them screaming at each other
• “THE ANSWER IS ONE YOU IGNORANT TOASTER!” “THE ANSWER IS SIXTEEN YOU BURNT HOT POCKET!” As Zane and Nya drag the two of them away in opposite directions
• Zane has a detector to tell when the ninjas bickering is gonna turn into property damage.
• Jay and Lloyd team up to prank the other ninja, the only ones they haven’t been able to get yet as a duo was PIXAL and Kai (PIXAL cause they don’t dare to mess with her and Kai because he saw through Lloyd and Jay’s pranking habits when they first met and has been able to avoid them since then)
• Because I am a ruthless Hotwire shipper, PIXAL and Kai tend to fall asleep next to each other on long road trips or after tiring missions and yes they lean on one another, yes the other ninja have taken photos.
A silly au where everthing is the same but the siblings are absolute units.
Wu comes looking for the map, finds two goddamn trees. He is confused.
Its like they said, two wrong makes a right. (in this case two dumbasses makes a…nvm)
A comic about Kai being able to create weapons out of fire!!
Translation:
Tears. Tears on flowers
He's not coming.
Moon, moon, moon cat
The light from the puddle drinks and drinks
It's getting darker in my window
Moon, moon, moon cat
The heart is waiting and waiting
But it's been clear to me for a long time, only the night is in the window.
💔💔💔
I finally finished the drawing I started literally 1 YEAR ago😭😭😭
Look at her :3
I tried to change it a little so it matches my current artstyle better but idk😞
Yesssssss, this needs to happen!!!!! Aaaaaaaa
quick comic about nya and kai after the fall. i think nya tends to blame things on herself and in situations where she fails or thinks she’s failed, she tries to hide how much guilt she feels. but kai can always see through her facade
the instruction booklet for the ninja Spinjitzu temple has nya drinking tea
And another one has kai doing blacksmithing
i drew mind controlled ninja because it's an idea that won't leave.
I think someone should write a fic where through circumstances out of there control the Ninja should have to fight their students
Hey during the time before the final fight when nya and riyu where missing do you think she was talking to kai, do you think either of them thought all hope was lost because nya couldn't contact anyone else.
Hey Ninjago fandom I kinda have to ask, but like have most of you forgotten Jays remark about saving a girl in the pilot season probably being the reason kai makes jokes at his expense more then the others, like I'm genuinely curious.
I'm back with another skylor idea because she didn't show up yet and I think there needs to be more ideas but like what if she meets wyldfyre when she's (wyldfyre) on a date with Roby. Like still have the misunderstanding of thinking Kai's dead because that would be cool, like some fight breaks out or something cause bad guys and stuff and then like after the situation is resolved nya shows up gets held back by skylor asking a bunch of questions then a little later kai shows up because wyldfyre almost burnt down a building.
I think kai should wear sunglasses for a little bit not cause he wants to look cool but because I think sunlight would hurt his eyes after he's been trapped for the indeterminate amount of time with bonzle.
Additional I think either nya, Lloyd or wyldfyre would be glued to his side because they missed him
Nya and kai better go find jay and drag him back, bonus points if kai finds him first and has a really long convo with him.
Ok so idea that probably won't happen but what if the reason Jay is evil is because he somehow rembers kai but like only the name face and that their vaugly friends and through manipulation from ras and he just keeps ignoring the rest of the Ninja. Idk just a funny thought
I think nya should sit Infront of a campfire whenever she misses her brother.
lego Ninjago movie meets show would be funny if it's during dragons rising and show Lloyd is just trying to find his kids in all of the caos of whatever is happening. Adittionally the exstistential crisis you could give each version of the characters would be funny
Ok but like what if in the part 2 nya starts acting a little bit like how kai did in the pilots. Like angry and kinda avoiding everyone and it would be cool if wyldfyre who (based off her shorts trailer) seems to come to terms with a lot of things.
Adittionally I just think seeing nya be a bit more hotheaded would be cool
I couldn't help myself so take some hastily drawn nya angst
Referencing this
Drawing of nya introducing Skylor to wyldfyre and sora because girls night featuring dareth on the ground and on fire
Second image is of skylor being reluctant to work with wyldfyre because I think she'd be salty while thinking Kai's dad
Kinda Relating to this post except Skylor dosent immediately lash out and instead holds in emotions
The outfits are based off vaugly what I can find about the next part of dragons rising except Skylor
ok but if Skylor shows up and see Wyldfyre use her power and just assume she's the new master of fire and gets really pissed off because that means Kai's dead. Additionally this is while kai is in the prison realm. Nya and Lloyd have to stop her from doing something stupid while also explaining the situation
rember how in like season 11 (I think) when kai lost his powers he still kept trying to do the stuff he normally would, yeah so imagine nya doing some mundane task and she like absently asks kai for help before remembering he's not there.
Lloyd talked to ray and maya before going to help get nya off the new bounty
Relates back into this post
Am I the only one who wants ray and Maya to show up in dragons rising like the new Ninjago go visit them for weapons
I did a thing
Sibling sketches
I love them all so much ❤️🔥💚💙❤️🖤🤍💖
HAPPY END!))

Spark 2 Flame & Trickle 2 Ocean update!
summary: Kai makes a decision. Nya starts to…notice some things.
