Sleeping Slaves

*“We're all slaves to fate. We cannot change what has already taken shape.”*

— Nightmarre

## Chronological Order

**Ogaji Origins** Chapter 4 (subtitled ***Sleeping Slaves***) is the fourth and final chapter in the *Ogaji Origins* series and the 28th and final story arc in the main *Legends of Ogaji* series. It is preceded by *Update 1.14.4* and succeeded by *Legends of Ogaji the Movie: Void Walker.*

This chapter is meant to end the Nothingness Arc and also conclude the series thoughtfully. Although the movie Void Walker follows this, it is not intended to be a sequel or rewrite the ending of this chapter.

The High Order and the Mutant Conscious-Men are the villainous factions, and the Elemental Masters are the protagonist group.

It was originally written in 2020.

As of now there are no full-length episodes written for this chapter yet.

## Synopsis

 *The heroes of Ogaji have reunited under the ties of The Outside. They finally must learn of what has happened to their world... and reform the New Age Masters to finally destroy the High Order once and for all.*

## Plot Summary

Serces makes his way through the High Order Palace... he has broken free from Nightmarre's grasp, and has found their place of stay. There, he confronts the head Oni, and discovers that he has omnipotent power... The only way for him to regain control of the Conscious-Men is to touch their souls! Serces manages to escape unscathed, and realizes that he'll need to befriend the Ninja in order to stop this threat...

Meanwhile, Milo, Jackson, and Junior have regained their memories and their powers, and fend off the Mutant Conscious-People. The three Elemental Masters and Warren notice the wall of darkness in front of them, and use their combined powers to blow it away, and in the distance, they see a pulsing light. They decide to follow it to try and gain insight as to what happened to their realm…

With the Samurai of Men, G, Llide, and Tom all regain their memories. With their memories returned to them, they too realize that the realm they’re in is in fact Ogaji, and that blast sent Task into the past, where they dealt with it 6,000 years ago.

Suddenly, from above them, they see three others have regained their memories as well-- Gordon Gold, Sammy Strumar, and Kaitin Rogers. All of them have control over their Elemental Power-- except Sammy, because the Element of Earth was destroyed within the Gauntlet of Creation. Realizing that Kaitlin is an Elemental Master of Amber, G realizes that means something must have happened to Chad and his other students.

The six of them realize that the sheer fact that they are alive after 6,000 years means something. If they are alive, so could their students. The heroes suit up, and decide to get to the bottom of the High Order, and find their students.

Meanwhile, Zack and Lavender Frost are walking along, when suddenly, Serces falls from the sky and meets the two of them. They don’t know who he is, and introduce themselves. Serces realizes that these are G’s siblings, but he decides that making enemies at a time like this would do more harm than good. He lies to them and calls himself “Lukas,” and agrees to help the two of them find their lost friend. He also fills them in on what has been going.

The three of them explore the dark landscape, and discover the Prehistoric Canyon, where they are attacked by two Oni and a creature with the powers of the Gauntlets of Creation and Destruction. They fight them, not before Lavender is kidnapped, and turned into one of Nightmarre's minions. Zack and Serces attempt to find the Temple of Time, to find any other people in this world.

Meanwhile, the Samurai of Men also have this idea, and they all go to the Temple of Time where they meet Zack and Serces. Serces meets G, and G is absolutely pissed to see him again, and have a fight. They end up putting aside their differences, if only for now, until they save Ogaji. Zack fills everyone in on the situation, how Nightmarre has total dominion over the entire Multiverse, Realm, and Dimension. He is all powerful.

The group enters the Temple, where they find the Ivory Blade of Deliverance, one of two. What's it do? They don't know. Suddenly, they are all attacked by Red Riot, who is Lavender taken over by the Oni. They defeat and unmask her, and leave her in the temple dungeons, as she has been mutated beyond help... Now with this out of the way, their next stop is the Desert Palace, to find any hope of G's students being alive.

Meanwhile, Team Waters keeps missing the other Conscious-Men. First at the Dragon Castle and then at the Temple of Time. When Waters arrives there, Warren has several visions, and finds the Shadow Blade of Deliverance... And he knows where the High Order is.

Back with G's group, they find the Desert Palace deserted... but there is someone waiting for them there. They are attacked by All For One, the Oni with the powers of the Gauntlets of Creation and Destruction. G and Serces must put aside their differences for good to stop the evil that the two of them created. At All For One's defeat, the two of them reconcile, and Serces becomes a true hero (now going by Lukas.) Now they have one goal: to find the High Order.

Eventually, G's group and Team Waters finally meet up, and through a couple of set backs, finally reach Nightmarre's chamber. With the Shadow and Ivory Blades of Deliverance, they're ready to destroy Nightmarre, but they are still outmatched. Both blades are shattered, but before Nightmarre can kill the heroes, a portal is opened up, and Warren pushes Nightmarre through...! The rift created by Mal-G in the past lead here... it was destiny.

The rest of the heroes go through the portal and return to the year 2044, at the hour of Doomsday. They fill in the past heroes about what is about to go down, while the future heroes merge with their past selves so as not to cause a paradox.

The Golden Goddesses intervene and reveal that all this time, the Greatest Evil the Realm would ever see was not G, but Nightmarre all along. Everything they've ever done, Genesis' corruption, Bamos' resurrection, the creation of the Edge of the World, and onward has lead to this. When the prophecy was created, this is what it all lead to.

Together, the heroes join forces one last time to destroy Nightmarre, now powered up with Forbidden Spinjitzu. G fuses together with Hope to create the ultimate deity, Destiny, and they finally defeat Nightmarre. His mask shatters, and is revealed to actually be Warren...

The Goddesses intervene again and reveal that the Dark Timeline from which they came is now destroyed. Doomsday is over, and their job is done. With that, Warren and Nightmarre fade from existence, unable to exist in the same timeline...

That's it.

The heroes move on with their lives. Major events from Closing the Circles and Rebirth occur again, such as the Ninjago heroes returning home, and the Watchers of Bamos being disbanded, but now there is peace all over.

Kaitlin and Jay marry, and Chad is born, as well as the other New Ninja of Ogaji. All is well, even 35 years in the future, where the Edge of the World hasn't been created, and the Balance is in check. On the Day of the Departed, the heroes only mourn the loss of one person: Warren.

All is well. The legend of Ogaji has been concluded.

.....

6,000 years in the future, the Dark Timeline...

Nightmarre is informed by an Oni guard that some of the characters from The Show have broken free from the High Order's control... He knows. This is the way of Destiny.

## Author's Notes

* The title is based on the final two episodes of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Golden Wind.
* All of the heroes that return in the main part of this chapter are there for a reason except for Sammy, who I just wanted to come back because he was one of my favorites.
	+ None of the Ninjago heroes return due to the fact that their story-arcs were 100% concluded as of Closing the Circles.
	+ A character I wanted to return, but didn't get around to, was Timothy, who is one of my favorite characters in the series. I just wasn't sure I could do him the justice he needed after 3 years of not using the character.
* This chapter reveals that after the end of *Rebirth*, the souls of the New Ninja of Ogaji were holding together against the Oni's powers, which was the reason that characters under the Oni's control were being freed.
* The character Red Riot is named after the hero name for Eijiro Kirishima in *My Hero Academia*.
	+ Additionally, the character All For One is named after the main antagonist of the *My Hero Academia* series.
* It is revealed this chapter what happened to the Elemental Powers within the Gauntlet of Creation. They were preserved and given to All For One, making him the first quadruple Elemental Master.
* The episode *"Break My Heart, Break Your Heart*" is named after the *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 7: Steel Ball Run* arc of the same name.
* I had the idea for this chapter in the works for a really long time. I really really wanted it to be the definitive end to the whole *Legends of Ogaji* series, and I am really confident that I achieved this.
	+ Even though the movie that follows this continues on the same timeline, it is not meant to undo the events of this chapter, but work together with it to tell the story of a new adventure set in the same world.
