Ever since he came back from death. He's felt... wrong. It was a constant itch in the back of his mind. Something waiting to get out.

Nothing was different though. Nothing to signal that something dark was clawing it's way to the surface. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. At least, until something... changed.

It was blatant that the darkness had stared to break free when he was hacked. Hell, it even caused him to attack Nya! No, they said, just a relapse. Nothing to be worried about.

Until it becomes something to worry about. Something that may be the downfall of Ninjago. The end of the age of the Ninja. The beginning of something much more sinister than even the Overlord himself...

It started out as small whispers in his mind. 'Artificial'. 'Unwanted'. 'Just a machine'. Then it turned more violent. Thoughts became actions. And with actions, come consequences.

There you have it! Sorry it took so long to get out. Life, ya know? I hope y'all liked it! I'll be including any and all OC that are suggested below at some point in the series. They will most likely only be small parts but I would like to get some OCs in and begin writing more and more chapters. Thanks guys and gals! Follow and fav!
