## Overview

Return of heroes! It's been about three years since the Ninja Force put a stop to Shadow Convergence and closed off the Realm of Shadows. Ever since then, the team has been on a hiatus and taken a break from the life of a ninja. During that time, Samara's Dark Order has been plotting their next move. They have partnered with an organization of assassins that Landon was formally associated with. This new but familiar crime syndicate calls itself the Prowlers, and they have a personal vendetta against the Elemental Masters of the multiverse and are out to get them. With orders from Samara herself, they are sent out to attack multiple realities in the multiverse, but are countered by the Oni and their warlords; whom are also under Samara's influence. As the two factions of genocidal maniacs' chaos turns to turmoil, our heroes regather their forces and start off on a new quest. A quest to free the multiverse from this orchestrated chaos, but as they embark on this quest, everything will begin to change. But change never stopped these heroes. It never will...
