Crossroads

You wanna experience other places? Look around. Why go anywhere when the best of all the realms have moved here to the Crossroads?

Sora to Arin

The Crossroads are a city located just outside of Ninjago City, serving as one of the nearby townships that make up the metropolitan area. It is positioned at the heart of the Merged Realms where the epicenter of the Merge took place in and was created as the home of those who had nowhere else to go following the Merge.

History

Background

When the Merge united the Sixteen Realms and Ninjago, several homes throughout the realms disappeared during the Merge. As a result, the Crossroads were established on the very spot where Arin's neighborhood once stood, which was also the heart of the Merged Realms. Situated outside of Ninjago City, the Crossroads became the largest neighboring community within the metropolitan area. Locals from across the Merged Realms started to live there after losing their homes, while some of the inhabitants decided to relocate there for their own reasons.

Dragons Rising, Season 1

Wyldly Inappropriate

Needing to get a new wyconium coil, Zane and Mr. Frohicky head to the junkyard, now under Kreel's ownership, but are thrown out, due to money insufficiency.

They later head to the center, where Zane Day was occurring before Zane registers for the Zane-a-like contest. However, having been deactivated, presumed missing, and depleting skills, he came dead last. However, Gulch hands him a gift card to Kreel's Junkyard as a consolation prize.

The Power Within

The MergeQuake Storm begins in the Crossroads, where the Ninja hurry there, and Lloyd uses the Dragon Cores to stop the MergeQuake storm, where the citizens learn their heroes have returned.

The Elemental Mechs

A Pain in the Mech!

The Crossroads noodle cook-off is disrupted by Ice Dragons, who attack the Crossroads in retaliation for Lava-Tony and his sous-chefs stealing their eggs for their secret ingredient, until Kai, Cole, and Sora subdue both parties, and Arin and Riyu discovering the eggs before the latter sends Lava-Tony crashing into an oven, which explodes and splattered noodles all over, resulting in a week's worth of cleaning up.

Dragons Rising, Season 2

The Blood Moon

A building in the Crossroads was on fire as Zane and Nya attempt to put it out, and Sora and Riyu get the residents to safety.

Later, Riyu helps Kai and Wyldfyre get Fugi-Dove and a cat down from a tree.
