Nightmarre

*“No one can escape the fate that was chosen for them. All that remains is the end, where you will perish. Eternal greatness exists only within myself. Sing a song of sorrow in a world where time has vanished!”*

Erased from existence

**Nightmarre**, (referred to as **Horror Nightmarre, the Daemon of Calamity**,) is the main antagonist of the Ogaji Origins series and prophesized "Greatest Evil" of Ogaji.

Nightmarre is the most recent Oni Warlord that lead his army of Oni across the realms. Following the defeat of the previous Oni armada under Omega, Nightmarre took over with the plans to take back their sons land of Ogaji. Patiently waiting until Ogaji's Balance was beyond repair, Nightmarre grew his army until the day came where they finally invaded.

Nightmarre tricked Rapheil into believing he was the King of the Oni, and used him to destroy the Elemental Master resistance in Ogaji. After accomplishing their goals, Nightmarre betrayed Rapheil, and plunged Ogaji, as well as the other 16 realms into darkness. It didn't take long for him to gain full omnipotence, becoming the master of the entire Multiverse, and eventually the Dimension.

After 6,000 years of ruling over the Dimension, it began to fall apart without any light to balance out the darkness. So, the Oni (now renamed the High Order) create "The Show," where they would manipulate the souls of people from the Departed Realm to act out heroic scenes to "trick" the balance.

This plan ended up backfiring, as those souls would eventually regain control over their own bodies, and become the Conscious-Men, who ended up dragging Nightmarre 6,000 years into the past, killing his ancestor, which led to him being erased from existence.

## History

### Early History

Nightmarre came into existence at some point before the defeat of Omega and his Oni armada. After Omega failed at plunging the 16 realms to darkness, Nightmarre became his successor.

Nightmarre believed that it was too early for them to strike again just after their previous defeat, and decided that an Elemental Resistance like that in Ninjago cannot get in their way the next time. Now is their time to plan.

### The Invasion of Ogaji

With three decades to plan their next invasion, Nightmarre was prepared. Their mission would be to reclaim their Son, Darius Dark's realm, due to its already faltered balance. By taking out the lose leg on the 16 Realms, the other 15 would soon follow suite.

The first step in their game would be to find a disposable figure-head to lead the Oni through battle without causing Nightmarre any damage. By biding their time, "The Ancient One" was eventually born, and their king had been found.

#### End of the World

Back in Ogaji, the balance began to break apart piece by piece.

The Element of Shadow was awakened, and the Elemental Masters were divided. Then the Infinity Crystals fell into the wrong hands. Then the God of Courage was killed, and then Gordon Gold. Soon after, the Master of Golden Light was killed, and then brought back for evil. Then the Master of Creation was killed, and then the Beast of Black Valley was awakened. The Emperor and Empress were killed, and finally, the Master of Destruction left Ogaji forever.

Ogaji’s balance was done for.

They found that they could not go any lower, so it was time they finally took back their Son’s realm. Raphael, the most recent incarnation of their ancient power, was theirs for the taking. Raphael is now their king.

This plan is to return to Ogaji, with Raphael leading them, and they would shatter the balance forever.

Raphael likes this idea, and so Nightmarre dressed him for the occasion. He gives him the crown of the Oni King, and then gives him four arms and a tail of energy. Now that he is fit to be their king, they head back to Ogaji. The army of hundreds of thousands of Oni emerge from the Edge of the World, and engulf western Ogaji.

The Oni invaded, and Rapheil destroyed the Ninja resistance. This allowed Rapheil to obtain the Mask of Rapheil, which would render him the ultimate power of the Oni. Rapheil took the Mask, but it was stolen by Nightmarre, and Rapheil was killed.

Nightmarre would go on to rule the rest of the Oni in Ogaji for the rest of time... with the Elemental Masters gone for good.

### The Realm of Darkness Falls Apart

After Ogaji is taken control of by the Oni, it, and all those who live in it, fall to the darkness.

After 6,000 years of Oni control, the realm begins to fall apart. Nightmarre realizes that Ogaji cannot exist without Balance, however, all of the Elemental Masters are dead, and the Oni have no way of returning Light to the land.

In order to return the balance to the land, the Oni rip several souls from the Departed Realm and force the souls to do the works of the heroes. Thinking that these souls would return to their original state was an incorrect assumption made by the Oni Warlords.

The souls wandered the land with no purpose, and Ogaji continued to fall apart.

The Oni's next plan was to *force* the souls to do their work. They stuffed the souls in random human bodies, and used their omnipotent power to put on a sort of "show." The puppet souls were moved around and walked and talked like heroes fighting off villains for the entertainment of the Oni, as well as an attempt to resurface the light to the land. This plan did not work, and the Oni felt that Ogaji was now a lost cause.

Several Oni factions fled Ogaji, and those that remained would continue running The Show for their own reasons. These Oni eventually became known as the High Order.

### The Stage and The Outside

The High Order that ruled over The Show transformed it into a performance for entertainment. They selected an area of land in the darkness of Ogaji and turned it into The Stage, where their fictional adventures would take place.

The Show was lead by Ninja, the main antagonist, and his sidekick that would change from season to season. Together, Ninja and his sidekick would fight off the evils of Dinosaur Man, Orange Man, and other threats to the land of Adventura.

This Show was created as a separate reality. The "actors" who portrayed those characters were forced to act out the will of the High Order of Oni, but were unaware, thinking that this was in fact their life.

The place outside of The Stage would be known as The Outside. This is what was formerly the Ogaji country, that has been altered by the realms continuous decay. The land lays in complete darkness, and the only time the High Order bothers with the Outside is with several of their own facilities built there around the Stage.

There they built the Prop Room, where former and future props would be held, as well as former and future characters. These characters were dormant souls inside of human bodies that the Oni stuffed them in. They are still and devoid of life unless given life by the High Order.

The Show would run for 14 seasons... Until the Conscious-Men arrived.

Nightmarre was warned about the Conscious-Men early— groups of souls that have broken free from the High Order's control. As dangerous as this was for them, Nightmarre let it slide, claiming this was the way of Destiny.

Eventually, when the problem became dire, Nightmarre sent out several Forbidden Spinjitzu powered Task drones to hunt Conscious-Men down.

### *Sleeping Slaves*

Eventually, the problem would become so dire, that the Conscious-Men attacked Nightmarre directly.

Using the Blades of Deliverance, the resistance hoped to defeat him, but Nightmarre saw it all coming due to his all-seeing power. He destroyed the two Blades, and was about to destroy the resistance for good— when a wormhole suddenly ripped through his palace, and he was pushed inside.

Nightmarre found himself 6,035 years in the past, in the year 2044, moments before the legendary battle of Doomsday was about to begin. Suddenly surging with power, Nightmarre discovers that he is now in possession of the two Scrolls of Forbidden Spinjitzu that were left over in the wormhole.

Realizing that the entire army of Conscious-Men have reunited with the past Elemental Masters, Nightmarre proclaimed this new powered up form: Horror Nightmarre.

Horror Nightmarre attempted to take out the Elemental Masters, and using his all mighty power, snapped the all out of existence... except for one. Destiny, the Perfect Elemental Master forged from the fusion of G, Zack, and Lavender Frost.

Destiny defied Nightmarre's powers, and brought back the Elemental Masters with a snap of their own. Now, in unison, the EM's blasted Horror Nightmarre with their combined Elemental Power, breaking off his mask, ridding him of his powers.

Beneath the mask, the EM's were surprised to see the face of their friend Warren looking back at them... due to the shenanigans of time travel, a paradox was caused, which made Warren be born in the future with the same soul as Nightmarre. With that, the Dark Timeline from which Nightmarre ruled had been erased from existence, and so too did Warren and Nightmarre.

## Appearance

In his first appearance, Nightmarre resembled an average Oni wearing a traditional Japanese-style kimono.

After taking the body of Rapheil, he became powered up by the Mask of Rapheil, and grew an extra set of arms, wings, and a tail of energy.

His powered up form, **Horror Nightmarre**, resembles the previous form but with an extra set of arms, sharper claws, and an aura of dark energy.

## Powers and Abilities

After taking over the entire Dimension, Nightmarre was able to possess every single Elemental Power, ancient artifact, and mythical weapon in the entire multiverse throughout every single realm. Because of this, he not only had the abilities of every Elemental Master to ever be in existence, but the powers of the Infinity Crystals, Time Temporal, Master Sword, Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu, and more.

When powered up with the Scrolls of Forbidden Spinjitzu, all of these powers were amplified a hundred-fold.

## Personality

Nightmarre is cunning, smart, and not to mention evil. His existence is fueled by his desire to rule, but he was not arrogant enough to suppose he could take on the power of the Ninja from a realm such as Ninjago, but he was smart enough to bide his time and wait for Ogaji's balance to fall so he could make his move.

## Notes

* Nightmarre is the true "Greatest Evil" spoken about in the Prophecy of the Hero of Light, seeing as the Three Golden Goddesses were aware of the true future, in that Nightmarre would reign supreme in the Dark Timeline, but would be brought to the past to be defeated, securing Ogaji's Balance forever.
* Nightmarre is slightly based on the Omega from LEGO Ninjago, but only in the sense that it is the head Oni with a mask-type head.
* It is possible that once he gained his omnipotent power he gained the knowledge of the universe, and could see into the future. Because of this, it is likely that he saw his defeat imminent, and seeing as that was the only way to undo the destruction he caused, knew that that was the only future he could allow to happen.
