The Mask Of Deception
When an unknown criminal syndicate threatens the Royal Family, the Ninja are called back into action and must protect the royal princess and a fabled artifact that may hold supernatural powers. The ninja find themselves scattered to the four corners of the kingdom. Cole and Jay are searching in vain for some sign of Master Wu. Nya fights injustice in the north, while Kai and Zane attempt to fend off an angry lava beast in the west. This leaves Lloyd alone in Ninjago City. He rushes to the scene of a heist at Borg Tower and finds himself up against a team of highly trained operatives led by the mysterious masked MISTER-E. Lloyd fails to prevent the heist and an ancient artifact, the MASK OF DECEPTION, is stolen. Lloyd apprehends one of the criminals but the others escape. Dismayed by his failure, Lloyd calls the ninjas back to Ninjago. The friends are reunited and hope for a little rest and relaxation. These hopes are dashed with the arrival MASTER HUTCHINS, a servant of the Royal Family of Ninjago, who has been sent by the EMPEROR to request their help. A new criminal gang, SONS OF GARMADON (SOG), is attempting to acquire three ancient masks called the ONI MASKS, which are rumored to possess supernatural powers.
