Cole seeks revenge, intent on punishing Yang for a past injustice that Cole feels has left him with unfinished business. However, as Cole navigates the treacherous temple, he discovers a powerful and ancient blade known as the "Dark Magic Sword." Despite his better judgment, Cole decides to wield the Dark Magic blade, unleashing its dark energy and unleashing the spectral forms of Ninjago's greatest villains. Each ghost serves as a manifestation of a malevolent entity that has been defeated by the ninja in the past, but now, they are set free from their spiritual bonds and brought back to the world of the living.

Each ghost is unique and has its own powers and abilities, making them formidable foes that the ninja must confront. Throughout their journey, the ninja work together as a team, employing their individual skills to overcome the challenges they face. Meanwhile, Cole must find a way to release himself from the temple and rejoin his teammates. In the process, he comes to understand that his actions, however justified or misguided, have far-reaching consequences and that the path to justice may not always be clear-cut.
