The Battle of Nine Days was a battle fought in the Endless Sea by the First Spinjitzu Master against Wojira. With the help of the islanders and the Merlopians, he tried to combat Wojira, but she was invincible. Nyad, the first Elemental Master of Water, eventually merged with the Endless Sea and put Wojira into a deep sleep. After Wojira's defeat, he gave the Storm Amulet to the islanders and the Wave Amulet to the Merlopians for safekeeping and created Ninjago.

History

After leaving the Realm of Oni and Dragons, the First Spinjitzu Master appeared in Ninjago's realm as a child and he saw the world in chaos, which was caused by Wojira, the sea serpent who has the power to control the Endless Sea and violent storms with her elements, thus having the power of Wave and Storm as a result. He knew that if life was to be made in the realm, then the serpent had to be stopped.

Sometime after running into Wojira, the First Spinjitzu Master rallied the Merlopians and islanders alongside him to fight against her. But she was too powerful and overpowered the two tribes. All hope was lost until the first Elemental Master of Water, Nyad leapt onto Wojira's head and realized that her amulets were the source of her powers. Nyad attempted to take them off by using her trident, but failed. In the ocean, Nyad came to the conclusion to fuse with the ocean. Eventually, she won the battle against Wojira, prying the amulets from her head. Unfortunately, Nyad could not transform back and was lost. After the battle, when the sea became calm, the First Spinjitzu Master gave the Wave Amulet to the Merlopians and the Storm Amulet to the islanders. Later, the First Spinjitzu Master would go to the Golden Peaks to create the Golden Weapons and with them the land of Ninjago.

Trivia

• The Battle of Nine Days is known for having inaccurate versions of the event.
  • In "A Big Splash," Wu's scroll said that only the Merlopians helped the First Spinjitzu Master battle Wojira.
  • In 20,000 Leagues under Ninjago, the Wu Bot told the ninja and P.I.X.A.L. that Nyad was a male and that she lived at the Island of the Keepers instead of the Endless Sea.
    • Both versions also described that Wojira was defeated by having her amulets pried by Nyad's trident instead of being overpowered after Nyad merged with the Endless Sea.
  • While Wu's scroll was known for getting the event wrong because of it not having much information, the Wu Bot's reason for telling the battle wrong is unknown.
