Find out as the story of the Ninja Force reaches its darkest and bloodiest one yet.

## History

#### Into the Desert

The Ninja Force and their allies venture out into the cosmos between the realms to discover if there's anything else out there and stumble upon a city in the Desert Domain realm under the terrorization of a band of Sand Surfers and their worm-like creatures. Ethan and Danny discover a familiar insignia of an old foe in a rundown church in the city.

#### The Hidden World

Using the map salvaged from the Sand Surfers, the Ninja Force discover a gateway to a dense jungle world beneath the hot and endless ocean of sand and venture into it. Martin, Ella, Storm, Luis, Arya and Ethan find that their powers are strengthened by them being in the rainforests and become eager to find the cause, leading to some unexpected uncoverings. Jaxon is met by the freedom fighter group led by the Children of Landon to trade information they've learned.

#### Dark Colonials

When searching for the source of what is enhancing their powers leads to a startling discovery of a Dark Order Stronghold in the heart of the jungle, the Ninja Force use their stealth and wit to find a way in and find out why they're here. Ethan and Danny meet back up with Jaxon in the City of Abalos where they find some Loyalists have caught on to their exploration.

#### A Vision of Shadows

While Jaxon gives the Dark Order's Loyalist and Brute Troopers a test of their faith, Ethan and Danny seek out an infamous gypsy and monk to figure out if the Crimson Visionary has truly been around. Sam and Letita meet with Aleph's Time Keeper Corps to warn them of Borg's Division of the Dark Order having seemingly returned. Josie's Angel's Sight ability and Kordi's Spider Tech help get the Ninja Force into the Dark Order's mainframe to find out the Dark Order's motive for touching down in the hidden paradise.

#### Red Eyes

Now knowing that the Dark Order is in the realm to recruit people to their cause and harvest some minerals for the properties of the Brute Troopers' armor, the Ninja Force rushes to escape from the stronghold but come face to face with its caretaker and his warriors. Ethan, Danny and Jaxon travel to Earth-17 where they have discovered the Crimson Visionary originated from, causing some insight on Jaxon's romatic flings to be revealed.

Frost and his cartel seek out artifacts and powers to resurrect an ancient dynasty.

Martin recalls how he was born, how Vincent discovered him as an orphan and how he inherited his element while Reese and some of the others awaken to find that they passed the test; causing some skepticism to be cast down upon Storm and some of the others that haven't yet awoken in the chamber where they can find the secret of the alien ore. M. Frost's Verglas Thugs come across the Red Eye's warriors and a feud ensues once they realize they're after the same thing.
