## Overview

The Second Power Wars rage on! The multiverse is at war once more as several factions of crime syndicates joined the turf war between the Oni Empire and Multiverse Protection Corps clash and escalated it into a conflict that the warriors of the past wished to prevent. It has prolonged three years now with the MPC and their allies having reached a pivotal point within the conflict. The Ninja Force is on the frontlines, leading troops into battle and fighting off the opposing sides. The Air Strike Division are launching an aerial assault upon an enemy fleet stationed in the Endless Sea on Earth-78, lead by Jaxon Walker and Charles Holland. While in the heat of battle, Jaxon's Jump Accelerator on his ship is damaged; causing him, Charles, and Trevor to be warped into a distant reality. They are shot to a world set in the past where the Serpentine Wars lead to rivalries between other factions and caused a bigger war. In this timeline, that war is between the Golden Dragon Army and Death Bringers as their leaders are out for each other's throats. The two boys out of time are approached by the Feudal Emperor, Yamato Kahn, and his royal family with the offer of being given assistance to leave the world once they stop this enemy from unleashing an ancient evil upon the world. While the two are reluctantly shoved to settle this threat, their friends and the MPC must somehow end the Second Power Wars by making some kind of amends and save the multiverse from further conflict. In the shadows of the Dark Order, a plot of hostile takeover is sprouted to consume everything in its path. These will be the most dangerous adventures for them yet.

#### An Admirer

After defending one of the major cities from an attack from the Death Bringers' leaders, Jaxon and Charles are praised by the masses but notice that Jaxon has someone watching from the shadows.

Josie uses her freetime to learn why Scarlett had a change of heart.

With the FSM having perished from his self-inflicted disease, Jaxon and General Garmadon are left to reminisce upon the words he spoke to them. The Golden Dragon Army begins construction on their newest superweapon when their attempts to stop the retrieval of the Fang Blades fails with Charles's magic being supplied to help speed up everything.
