==History==
===Unknown Period of Time===
The Demon Warriors played a role in the Shattering War - a conflict sparked by the River Guard"These magical masks stink of old, dangerous magic. The very magic we waged a war to destroy. Magic was banished, to protect us. And now... it has returned. Of course they are useful. But power has a cost. Feel free to pay it. I, myself, will abstain." - Mizuki when asked about "The Masks", Chapter 6: Season 1 and Oninoshima's fear of the creation of Masks of Power by the ancestors of Daigo, Jade, and Kendo"I just hope you're not like your foolish ancestors." - Vi to Daigo, Chapter 6: Season 1. The war culminated in Nightshift Forest at a site known as Battle's End, where the Demons were defeated, the Masks of Power were shattered, and magic was banished from the Island as a protective measure. In the aftermath, the people of Oninoshima united to seal the Demons' portals, cutting off access to the Spirit Realm entirely. The Fox Clan was blamed for the Shattering War, as the masks had been crafted by their suppliers. "Fox Clan used to have magical masks, many ages ago. A family of artisans from this Island knew the secret to making them. But they got overambitious. They created dangerous Masks of Power, which caused the Shattering War. Magic was banished. Masks were shattered. And, of course, Fox Clan was blamed." - Vi when asked about "Magical Masks", C6S1
Within the Spirit Realm, The Night Rose became a puppet to a very powerful demon that uses a massive Oni Mask to string her up, a being only known as "The Puppeteer". She's become forcefully bound - and now wishes for revenge.
===Chapter 6: Season 1===
A shard of The Zero Point arrives onto Oninoshima, alongside strangers from the island of Helios. As a result of the shard's landing, magic has re-emerged, and the abandoned portals are reopened for the demons of old to return across Oninoshima"The portals to the Spirit Realm that we always thought were dusty relics... Demons now enter our world through them. I need to understand why they're here, and what they want. Will you help me? Magic, like we used to tell stories about, has awoken. Ever since that mysterious object flew across the sky, this Island has changed." - Kendo when speaking about the Invading Demons, Chapter 6: Season 1 Story Quests - including Shogun X, the Demon Warriors' leader. Together, they threaten the Island dwellers, but in the process, gain resistance from Hope and Jones, whom have teamed up with the High Stakes Club,"High Stakes Club is happy to help with your... artifact search?" - Helsie to Shadow Blade Hope, Chapter 6: Season 1 alongside the reluctantly reunited forces of the River Guard and the Fox Clan.
Now that the Zero Point Shard has restored the magic of Oninoshima, the Shattering War begins to repeat itself - with Daigo determined to continue work on the magical masks of old through dark magic and his ownership of The Thousand Faces"As the eldest son, I inherited the shop from my grandfather. Once upon a time, we made great, magical Masks of Power. But my ancestors burned the secrets to crafting them. I've unlocked rudimentary mask magic, but if I could make a true Mask of Power..." - Daigo when asked about "The Thousand Faces", Chapter 6: Season 1 to harness the power needed to enter the Demon Warriors' Spirit Realm for himself."People cannot cross into the Spirit Realm. Only demons. I'll admit, I have a burning curiosity to see that world. What ancient secrets it may be keeping… But even I can't cross the threshold. Yet." - Daigo when asked about the "Spirit Realm", Chapter 6: Season 1 
Bushranger sets up base at Nightshift Forest, blowing bubbles and caring for the place after finding a fascination with the Sprites."Nightday odd in thisplace. Rules different. Nature strange. Bushy can talk to spritefriends. Help sun come home. Wake up forest! Bushy always happy to help friendfriend and forest." - Bushranger when asked about "Night & Day", Chapter 6: Season 1 
Facing the threat of demon invasion, Bushranger promises Kendo"Bushy won't let demons mess with forest!" - Bushranger to Kendo, Chapter 6: Season 1 and Jade to protect the forest."Bushy protect forest for newfriend Jade!" - Bushranger to Jade, Chapter 6: Season 1 Upon seeing their old friend, The Looper, they work together to return the sun to the forest and end the era of darkness for good."Bushy and spritefriend make Nightday into Daynight! YAY! Nightday begone! Daynight shines on Bushranger friendfriend!" - Bushranger when The Looper shows them a Sprite, Chapter 6: Season 1 Hope has a prophetic vision of a Splinter from a comet.Shadow Blade Hope (Loading Screen)
==== Kendo's Calling ====
Later, Kendo, one of Hope's new associates, enlists the help of The Looper to investigate the resurgence of demons on the Island. The Looper agrees and begins hunting the Demon Warriors. 
They are soon contacted by Kendo's sister: Jade, who is also working with Hope. The latter seeks to learn more about the Island's magic. After helping her place Spirit Charms across the Island, The Looper collects demon essence to study their nature and delivers it to Hope. Hope reveals she is searching for an artifact akin to Pandora's Box,"I can't say much, but it's.. like Pandora's Box. That's as much as I can tell you, at least for now. Because I don't think Jones and I are the only ones looking for it." - Shadow Blade Hope when asked about "The Artifact", Chapter 6: Season 1 stating she wasn't surprised by the island's current situation - suspecting it to be connected with the reawakening of Oninoshima's myths and ancient magic, as well as the demons. 
Later, The Looper travels to Battle's End alone to investigate the return of magic. Sensing ancient magical resonance, they deduce it is connected to the demons, their rage, and the Spirit Realm. They conclude that something ancient and powerful is stirring the Island's magic.The Looper's Internal Dialogue during the quest to "Investigate locations to learn about the return of magic", Chapter 6: Season 1 Story Quests 
==== Jade & The Mask ====
Sometime after, Kendo calls upon The Looper once more - reporting that Jade is missing."Jade has gone missing, and Daigo refuses to talk about it. I need to know why." - Kendo when The Looper asks about "Dark Magic", Chapter 6: Season 1 Story Quests He suspects their older brother: Daigo, is involved as he has been experimenting with dark magic.Daigo has been experimenting with dark magic. If he's endangered Jade, I'll never forgive him. - Kendo when The Looper asks about "Dark Magic", Chapter 6: Season 1 Story Quests Kendo claims to have seen Jade through a portal but dismissed it as a hallucination. However, when The Looper looks through the portal, they also see her - and hear her mention a shard."The shard...the shard..." - Jade when The Looper looks into the Portal, Chapter 6: Season 1 Story Quests 
Kendo sends The Looper to investigate Daigo's shop: The Thousand Faces, where they discover an underground hideout. Inside, they find various masks imbued with traces of dark magic, a painting of Daigo giving a mask to Jade, and a machine pulsing with dark energy. They notably examine a Sprite cage, a worrying sight to The Looper,"What is Daigo doing with these Sprites to create the magic masks??" - The Looper's thoughts during Chapter 6: Season 1 Story Quests as well as a broken Mask of Power from long ago - though Kendo warns The Looper that the mask should never be repaired, for both of them view the masks as dangerous"Looks dangerous..." - The Looper's thoughts when investigating Daigo's Mask of Power, Chapter 6: Season 1 Story Quests - thus Kendo stays away from using them, similarly to Mizuki. 
Upon confronting Daigo, The Looper learns that Jade had actually been cursed by the demons, and that Daigo created a mask to protect her."I'd NEVER hurt Jade. She's the one person in the world I actually trust.", "The truth is, Jade got herself cursed by the demons, so I made a mask to protect her." - Daigo when confronted about Jade, Chapter 6: Season 1 Story Quests However, the mask amplified her powers, trapping her in the Spirit Realm. Despite his regrets, Daigo insists he made the mask to keep her safe."Yes, the mask made things worse, and I regret that.. But I'm hoping it'll still keep her safe." - Daigo when confronted about Jade, Chapter 6: Season 1 Story Quests Upon gathering all the information they could, The Looper reports their findings back to Kendo. Nyanja seems worried about Jade"I haven't seen Jade around in a bit. What's goin' on?" - Nyanja to Kendo. and Doughberman can be found at Twinkle Terrace battling demons.
==== Splinters of Possibility ====
With the help of Kendo and Hope, The Looper investigates the crater left by the comet, obtaining 3 splnters from it. They then forge Splinter Blades using them and defeat The Puppeteer, temporarily freeing The Night Rose from it's hold. Relunctantly, they deliver the Splinter Blades to her, with her promising she knows how to give them to, and remarking they could save her as well as Jade. She does however mention the caveat that she is not truly free yet, not until her captor is defeated for good. She refuses to elaborate on the comet past "It's not a comet" until she is freed permanently.
Godzilla, a Titan and King of the Monsters, emerges from a Rift Gate in the ocean and destroys the nearby bridge. This worries Hope, The Looper and Nyanja. Nyanja and The Looper work together to discover Monarch's secrets and plant Kaiju detection beacons to monitor the Titan. Meanwhile, Hope gets to work on planting Godzilla Evacuation Shelter signs, and asks The Looper to take down Godzilla once he emerges.Godzilla Quests Doughberman and Jones relocate to the now-shattered bridge, fighting demons together.
==== The Spirit Realm ====
With the shattered bridge slowly being repaired, Jones and Doughberman relocate to Hopeful Heights and Masked Meadows respectively. A short while later, Doughberman enlists the help of The Looper to aid in defeating some demons that have been appearing in Masked Meadows. Hope enlists The Looper's help once more, urging the Looper to find where the comet went. After picking up some readings, she deduces it's located somewhere within the mountains, after investigating further she realizes it was taken to the Spirit Realm through a now-frozen over portal.
After Kendo is brought up-to-date, he theorizes that Daigo is secretly planning to use that portal to save Jade from the Spirit Realm, hoping to undo the damage he's done. Kendo also reveals that The Night Rose had given the splinter blades to Daigo"The Night Rose gave him the splinter blades. Could they be the key to saving her?" - Kendo, Chapter 6: Season 1 Story Quests and decides to leave Daigo alone and not interfere with his efforts."I hope Daigo knows what he's doing." - Kendo, Chapter 6: Season 1 Story Quests
Hope requests the Looper to damage Shogun X to collect his Essence, after analyzing his essence, Hope reveals that he's so powerful due in part to the comet"I have a theory as to why Shogun X is so powerful... but I need his essence to be sure." - Shadow Blade Hope, Chapter 6: Season 1 Story Quests, which Hope reveals to the Looper is a shard of the Zero Point, a powerful object she has never seen herself but has heard of from Jones.
