## Overview

The Darkness Reborn! It's only been a month since the Ninja Force and their allies won their home back from the Twin Suns Syndicate and the rogue Kyojin Beast known as Blade. Since then, they've been off exploring other realities in the multiverse and learning what they can about how it all works. It's all fun and games until our heroes get a distress call from the homeworld of Keith and Lucas Garmadon, Earth-52. According to the call, both the Overlord and Karasu have returned to claim vengeance. The Ninja try to intercept the two before they destroy the planet but are easily defeated and Earth-52 is lost. After returning home, the damaged heroes discover that they were followed by the two and must stop them before they unleash the same carnage on Earth-21... Along the way, our heroes will learn a valuable lesson about honor and heroism as they face a familiar, but new threat in the father and daughter duo. According to the Overlord, there will be blood... but who's blood will be spilled in this all out clash to defend the world from darkness?
