History
After Garmadon's betrayal and defeat, Sensei Wu took The Scythe of Quakes and hid it in the Caves, placing it in the mouth of the Earth Dragon, where it resided for many years.

Excavation
Years later, the caves were visited by Samukai and his Skeleton Army, in search of the Scythe. They began a great excavation project in an attempt to find the weapon. However, the map they were using was upside down, and they were digging in the wrong place. Kai, Cole, Jay, and Zane used the map correctly to discover the Scythe's location. Jay accidentally alerted the skeletons to their presence, and a great battle broke out. The Skeletons retreated after the Earth Dragon awoke, intending to protect the weapon. Kai used the Scythe to create a cave-in so they could escape.

Later, the ninjas returned to the Caves to get the Earth Dragon as a mount for Cole.
