## Overview

A mission left unfinished! It's been a few weeks since Jason's sacrifice & the temporary sealing of any entrances to the Realm of Shadows. But the seal isn't exactly made to seal a realm so dark for so long. As this seal begins to weaken, the Ninja Force works vigorously to find a way to close the realm forever so its horrors can never come to pass. Knowing that Rian Haruno is gone for good this time, the Ninja have been attempting a track-down of Landon, White Wren, and the other Shadow Loyalists to take them out before they cause more trouble. After going on a recon mission, Lucas is captured and our heroes learn that Landon has a plan of his own to finish the task given to him by Samara. Now the Ninja Force must race against the clock to find a way to close the realm for good and save their allies inside before doing so. Is Jason truly gone? What is Landon going to do with Lucas? Will White Wren's identity be revealed for real this time? Will our heroes succeed? All is unclear as our heroes are diving into the shadows to find out how to stop them.
