The Masters of Spinjitzu are stuck on a comet, having traveled through space to save the World of Ninjago from the Nindroids. As they race through the stars, it becomes apparent that they are not alone on the comet. Something has stowed away, something not of their world.
Jay, who just flew through an electrical storm, crashes into a world ruled by the Serpentine, where Sensei Wu's team of ninjas never existed and skeleton warriors serve the leaders, and the only hope is Lord Garmadon.
Garmadon and his son, Lloyd, fight side-by-side with Jay, Cole, Zane, and Kai, the Masters of Spinjitzu, against a menace created by Garmadon himself, and now they do not know if Garmadon is good or evil, or both.
First, Kai, Cole, Zane, Jay, and Sensei Wu are up to the challenge when Samukai bets Garmadon that he can defeat the master and his ninja. Then, the young ninja are taken aback when they discover that they are being attacked by the person who taught them everything they know--Sensei Wu.
