## Premise

The Great Merge separates the New Ninja of Ogaji and forces all 16 realms to meet... The apocalypse has occurred. There is no law, and chaos begins to brew when factions of people from the merged realms comes together to see who will take control over the fresh new world. Nelly and Sheila find each other and must find allies to navigate the new world and find their friends, meanwhile, they deal with the two factions, one that sides with lawfulness, and the other chaos.

## Summary

Empress Pullumi gives a speech in Ogaji City, commemorating the 40-year anniversary since the defeat of Nightmarre, and the saving of the realm. As she speaks, Bamos and his group interrupt and terrorize the city. Luckily, the Ninja have been on standby, and arrive to deal with the situation. They handle Bamos and his crew, when suddenly, the ground begins to shake violently, and the sky emits a strange light. What seem to be cracks form in the sky, and windows into other worlds peer into Ogaji.

The Ninja presume this to be Bamos's doing, but he is as clueless as they are. Suddenly, there are flashes of lightning, and the Ninja are struck, then a bright light, and everything goes dark...

Nelly awakens on the top of Dragon Castle, and finds Sheila nearby, but the other Ninja and Bamos are nowhere to be seen. All around them they see that this is no longer the world they knew. Fragments of other realms have merged with Ogaji, and it seems that the entire realm has become one with the 16 realms.

The two of them wander around for a bit before they come across one of Bamos's minions left behind. This is Ken, and he claims only to have joined Bamos in order to feed his family and begs not to be killed by Nelly. Sheila takes pity on him and says they will protect them until they can find some sort of place for refuge. That place is never found, however, because in this short amount of time, things have gotten out of hand. Cultures and cities and populations from all the 16 realms have merged, quintupling the population and causing chaos in the streets. There is no safe haven, as no one was prepared for the cataclysmic merge of the realms.

The Ninja walk around and find someone protecting a child from a small demon. The man is wearing a blue ninja gi and has lightning powers, and Nelly thinks it's Trevor, but he reveals himself to be Jay Walker, a Ninja from the realm of Ninjago. They introduce themselves to him and come to the conclusion that he too was separated from his team. Jay joins up with them and says that together they will find their lost friends.

They take a look around and discover that things have been developing rapidly. The weak starve in the street while the strong have gotten a foothold in. Nelly steals a motorbike and decides it's probably easier to look around to find her friends, but along their way they are stopped by a militia guarding a town known as Ueno. The militia was formed by their Master Hippou, and martial law has been established. The Ninja find this unfair, and deal with the army before entering the town. They find inside that it is barren, and all the people have been ordered inside, whether they originated from their or not. While questioning civilians, they are stopped by guards, who are fended off by a man wearing an emblem. The man says he is a part of a peace-keeping group known as the Order of Messiah, and to come with him.

He brings them to his HQ in Ueno, hidden from Hippou's army. He introduces them to Father Baur, the leader of the Order. He greets them and tells them that all over, people are forming groups to try to get a foothold in this new strange world, and that the Order of Messiah stands for peace and lawfulness above all else. They are currently being attacked by the Ring of Gaia, a chaotic group, who sent one of their generals to Ueno to establish themselves. The general, known as Hippou, is said to be a great demon who is ruthless and cruel. Baur asks if the Ninja will help the Order defeat Hippou, because their criticizes are being harmed.

Nelly is not so keen on helping them, as she doesn't know if she can trust Baur, but Sheila and Jay say that they basically have no choice, since Hippou is cruel to the people of Ueno. She reluctantly agrees to help and the group goes to the center tower where Hippou resides.

They fight their way through and engage in battle with Hippou, who is a great demon in the form of a crane with flames coming out of its head. The Ninja are outmatched, as Hippou uses magic instead of Elemental Power. That is until Baur appears to their aid and helps them out. Nelly realizes that she can use her power of Energy, which is unlike most Elemental Powers, and cuts off Hippou's head. Baur thanks the Ninja and says they are on the side of lawfulness. The Ninja go on their way, able to pass through the village, and make note that they should be careful which groups are making a foothold in the Merged Realms.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Bamos has been taken to a facility where he is stuck in a tube of water. He tries to escape, but a man who claims to be Lou Sipher tells him that he is in the HQ of the Ring of Gaia, and they will plunge this new world into chaos. He welcomes Bamos to the Cathedral of Shadows, where demons gather, and turns off the lights. Suddenly, a light appears in another tube with a great and powerful demon inside of it, and Bamos blacks out. He wakes up in a dark void, and is plunged together with this demon.

## Author's Notes

* This is technically the 30th chapter in the Legends of Ogaji series. It does not fall under a sub-series such as *Milo's Adventures, Closing the Circles, Rebirth,* or *Origins*, and it is the second chapter to do so.
* This is the fifth time, technically, that the series has been continued after the supposed final end to it all. This chapter is not meant to continue any previous story arc in the series, and acts as a standalone adventure that takes place after the end of *Void Walker*.
* The name *True Reincarnation* is based on the translation of the *Shin Megami Tensei* games, *"True Goddess Reincarnation*."
	+ The Ring of Gaia and the Order of Messiah being the villains, as well as the presence of demons are also taken from the *Megami Tensei* games.
