## Synopsis

*The Oni return to Ogaji to take back their son's land and use Rapheil to get what they want and destroy Ogaji's balance for good.*

## Plot Summary

Raphael, the Master of Speed and Shadow, who was previously defeated by Chad back in Chapter 1, exists in the Ethereal Divide. There he is approached by an army of Oni, who claim he is their king.

Since the beginning of *Rebirth*, the Balance of Ogaji has faltered, and now that it is at an all-time low, the Oni are ready to invade, to return to their son, Darius Dark's land.

The Oni take Raphael back to Ogaji, and the millions of Oni take over the land.

Meanwhile the Ninja attempt to stop them, but the Oni are far too powerful.

The Oni reveal that their plan is to make it to the Oni Temple in order to find the Mask of Rapheil, and destroy Ogaji's Balance for good.

The Ninja split into two teams, and follow the Oni through Prime Evaal's Eye in order to locate the temple. Along the way, Jordan and Nelly are brought to near death during a fight with the Oni, and Chad must choose which of his friends to save.

When he choses Jordan, and let's Nelly die, he creates a rift between him and his friends.

At the Oni Temple. Chad is overcome by power and rage, and fights with his remaining friends until they are all dead, believing them to be Oni in disguise, testing him.

When he finds that that is not the case, he fights with the Oni army, defeating them and even Rapheil.

He is filled with pride, fully believing he has defeated them for good, when Rapheil reveals that the truth is that Rapheil let him win, and now the real battle begins.

Rapheil kills Chad, and obtains the Mask of Rapheil. The Oni have won. Ogaji has fallen, and the Elemental Masters are gone.

## Author's Notes

* This is the first chapter since *Children of Destiny* where the big bad defeats the heroes in the end.
	+ It is also the first series finale that ends with the heroes being defeated.
* The end of this chapter made me so happy to write, as it was truly a classic tragic heroes' downfall. Blinded by his own hubris, Chad forced his friends to believe it was his fate to destroy the Oni but in reality, it was he himself who caused their defeat and led to the literal end of the world!
	+ At the time I don't think I planned on even making a sequel to this series because I wanted Legends of Ogaji to have this horrible end, as sort of a callback (and redo) of the end of *The Hero of Light*.
		- The decision to continue the story again after the supposed end would be the third time this has occurred, as both of the chapters *"Doomsday*" and *"Mirror Me Part 2*" were meant to close off the series, but then a sequel series was written.
			* This would happen once again, as after the end of *Ogaji Origins*, a movie was announced as a follow-up to continue the series.
			* As a rule, from now on I won't be ending the series officially officially anymore, and leave the end open in case of a future sequel.

* This chapter is based on LEGO Ninjago Season 10: *March of the Oni.*
* This is my favorite chapter in *Rebirth*, it was so fun to write, and my vision was clear and precise throughout the entire thing. From beginning to end I enjoyed it so much.
