- “Hahaha! What a delightful surprise! More competitors for my tournament of elements!”
Story Mode Plot
Shortly after the events in Springfield, Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle arrive at Master Chen's Arena in the Ninjago World during the Tournament of Elements and interrupt a combat between Jacob and Eyezor. Seeing the newcomers as new to the tournament, Master Chen sends the elemental masters to fight them. The first one is Griffin Turner who is defeated with a treadmill, then Gravis who is defeated by the use of the Shift mode and finally Karlof who is defeated by the use of a Fangpyre wrecking ball with a magnet. Master Chen sees this as cheating tried to punish them with trap door, only to fail several times. Then Lex Luthor arrives at the arena looking in for the Staff of Elements, but Chen denies and escapes through a trapdoor, being followed by the heroes.
They then arrive at Chen's underground cavern maze along with Luthor. After fighting with Chen's men the trio find the Elemental keystone in Clouse's snake's room, then Saruman appears and takes control of the keystone and uses it to control the snake to fight the heroes. At the end Saruman and the snake are defeated and the wizard is sucked by a portal and the heroes obtain the keystone and proceded to find Luthor and Chen.
They find Chen cornered by Luthor in the Anacondrai Temple. The trio defeats Luthor who is sucked through a portal by an angry Lord Vortech, and Batman gets the Staff that combines with the Elemental keystone which Chen claims. He uses it to attack the heroes with Ice, Lightning, Earth and fire but is defeated and also sucked by a portal to Foundation Prime. Gandalf grabs the staff of elements and the trio enters on the portal back to Vorton.
On Foundation Prime, Vortech confronts Luthor about his failure on Ninjago, but the villain claims that he should warned about Batman and his friends being there. Vortech concludes that he should put some traps.
