## Overview

### The Demon Chapter

Aftermath! It's been a few months since the end of the Second Power Wars and Multiverse Protection Corps' victory alongside the Alpha and Omega of the Oni Empire, and the multiverse has been able to put the pieces back together. On Earth-21, the Ninja Force and their allies work alongside the protection services of the government to establish new protocols that guarantee a new age of safety for their reality and many others. Since the Oni Empire has backed away from fighting the MPC since they have their own conflicts with the Dark Order, the close relatives; known as Inferno Demons; have become aware of this surprising and frustrating outcome. While many of them choose to stay out of conflicts as they're what nearly lead to their extinction, one among them named Lilith has assumed control over the mantle of leader and built her own army of advanced versions of some of the heroes of Earth-21's past fire-related foes. Upon having her army mobilized, Lilith sets out to free Kaen from Kyojin Prison. In short, her attempt is successful and now she is partnering with him to make their next plan of vengeance. Not just eager to make sure her mother and teacher's sacrifices don't become meaningless, Josie Garmadon goes to the heart of the Realm of Shadows to learn from the Inferno Demons how to synchronize her Pyro Vision and Kama. While she looks to clear this trouble and her own struggles with one resolution, the Ninja Force and MPC's Berserker Division have been deployed to stop this attack orchestrated by Kyojins from causing irreversable destruction. With such a powerful enemy to face right on the heels of the war they just finished, will the heroes have the strength necessary to fight back against Lilith and Kaen? Can Josie find her clarity with the tools she's been given? What measures will the protectors of Earth-21 have to take to fight back? The spawn of the devil arrive in the Demon Chapter.

### The Phoenix Chapter

A new history unfolds itself. After being able to eliminate and seal away Lilith and Kaen's Inferno Horde and imprison Lilith within the recesses of Josie's mind, the Ninja Force discovers strange murals upon the walls of the pyramid which they seal them in. These murals describe a race of sea warriors that served under Merlopian race under the name of Kainotami. They have a dark past with the surface world dating back to even before the First Spinjitzu Master's age of deception. Apparently this history wasn't kind to them as they're staging the causes for a war upon the lands of the Terra Realm for their past treachery. While the heroes try to figure out what's going on and who is helping the Kainotami's upheaval, Storm will find that their lasting alliance with the Merlopians grants her access that can help her catch up to Josie in terms of power and strength while unlocking the hidden secrets of her powers. While she uses the fleeting amounts of trust the surface has with the people of the deep, a sinister presnece lurks in the waters waiting to utilize the powers of the Elemental Masters for their own gain. With such and ancient and unknown enemy to face, Jaxon and Ethan must lead the Ninja Force and Merlopians loyal to the new order in an all-out battle with these traitors of the Merlopians. Tides are changing as the ties between humans and their water-faring neighbors are tested by these rebels. Will Storm be able to surpass her limits and discover the secrets of her powers? Can the surface and ocean alliance remain in the midst of this chaos? What is the intention of the Kainotami for this declaration of rebellion? Find out as we venture into the depths in the Phoenix Chapter.
