Rebirth is the name of the third part of Legends of Ogaji. It is preceded by Closing the Circles and proceeded by Ogaji Origins. It includes 9 chapters.

It is set 35 years after G's retirement as a Ninja with a brand new cast of heroes, some of them are the children of previous Elemental Masters, some are reincarnations. They serve Ogaji along with their two Masters (G and Tom) to protect the realm from the constant threat of Sheiver.

The chapters in this series are significantly shorter than those of the previous series, having almost 5 or 6 episodes in each.

Premise

The new Elemental Masters, the Students of G and Tom, take base in the Desert Palace where they protect Ogaji from the futuristic threats like The Gifted and The Scavengers.

Many of the villains that appear in Rebirth are introduced due to events that happened in previous installments.

The main antagonist is Sheiver, a mysterious ghost man with the Element of Ice.

Main Plot

The New Elemental Masters

After 35 years of being in retirement, Tom and G return to the scene as Masters to a group of the Elemental Masters children, Jordan, Chad Killian, and Sid Roothus.

They soon come in contact with the gang of Elemental Masters called The Gifted who were given Elemental Power through gift by the Gods. Along their journey, the Ninja are joined by the daughter of Maxwell Robins, Sheila, the Master of Energy, and the Master of Lightning.

The Gifted plan on resurrecting an ancient evil known as The Ancient One. They succeed by sacrificing their own Master of Speed, Raphael. The Ancient One (armed with the ancient spirit of Serces, Sorcerer of Shadows) attempts to destroy the Ninja, but he is stopped by Chad, the Master of Amber. He blasts him with his own power, causing a massive beam of light to be shot into the sky straight from the Edge of the World.

The Gifted are defeated, leaving only the mysterious Winter Warrior left (Sheiver.)

Scavengers

Somewhere high up in the stars, a group of intergalactic space thieves known as The Scavengers get blown out of the sky by the massive beam of light that came from the Edge of the World.

The Scavengers arrive on Ogaji, and seek out the anomaly that knocked them out of the sky, taking in Sheiver as their new recruit. The group finds the Edge of the World, and realizes that they can steal the energy that is inside it and give it to their Captain.

Sheiver tells them that they are called the Infinity Crystals, and they find them all while being tracked by the Ninja.

Eventually the Scavengers arrive at the Desert Palace, where Captain Zelok takes all the crystals and becomes a monster of all it's power. Instead of killing the Ninja, he uses his combined elements to open a portal to the Sacred Realm.

It is revealed here that Sheiver tricked Zelok, and knew that no one could possess all the crystals at once, ad used Zelok to open a portal to the Sacred Realm. Sheiver kills the remaining Scavengers including Zelok, and enters the portal. . .

The Deicide

In the Sacred Realm, Sheiver encounters a mysterious ghost like man who is known as the Wanderer in the realm. He learns from the people there that it is his destiny to stop this man from doing what he is doing, because he has the same plan as Sheiver.

The Wanderer introduces himself as the Deicide, and he is going to kill the God Llionn. Deicide knocks Sheiver back to Ogaji, and kills Llionn, taking his power and his status as the God of Courage.

Deicide enters Ogaji now, and goes after a few of the Ninja. Sheiver joins them in trying to stop him, and they soon find out that Deicide was once the head knight of the Royal Palace of Ogaji, Jonah. He was jealous that he was not the Hero of Courage, and so he wants to kill the descendants of the second members of Team Waters.

He is defeated by Sheiver, and he steals his powers making him the new God of Courage. He double crosses the Ninja, and tells them he will return for them soon. . .

No Laughing Matter

One day in the middle of the night, Tom, Nelly, Jordan, Sid, and the Palace guards disappear out of nowhere.

The remaining Ninja find out that the current king of the Underworld, Laughy, has taken them as a part of his "collection" as a sort of game. He haunts them by sending a Skulkin army at them, and reveals that it was all a game where he would steal Chad's Dragonbone Blade in the end.

He reveals that the Blade is the key to awakening the Dry Dragon, which will allow him to pass into Ogaji and become their king. The Ninja stop him and free their friends, but in the process accidentally kill Chad.

They destroy the Dry Dragon and Laughy, but still have to mourn the loss of their friend. Meanwhile, a lone Skulkin awakes in the Underworld, and is greeted by Sheiver. . .

Ipseity Crisis

Sheiver and a mysterious Skulkin warrior named Cross attack the Royal Palace of Ogaji, and the Ninja are called to action yet again.

They fight Cross while trying to protect Jordan's parents, and find out that it is just Chad but reborn as a Skulkin. Later, he attacks their Palace, and steals back the Dragonbone Blade. Sheiver tells him that he must do this so that he can unlock his memories and his Elemental Power.

Cross uses the Blade to blast the Ninja, leaving some of their brains mixed up.

Cross eventually unlocks almost all of his power, but then remembers that the Ninja are his real friends. He defeats Sheiver, and seals him in the Dragonbone Blade. At this time, he unlocks some of his Golden Light power, and returns his friends minds to normal . . .

Meanwhile a man in a silver and black gi hops out of the Temple of Time...

Into the Mult-G-Verse

G and his students were doing their usual training at the Desert Palace when they are suddenly attacked by a man in a silver Ninja gi. They fight him off and come to the conclusion that he is a Master of Creation.

This introduces to G the concept of the Ogaji Multiverse, and that there are other timelines of Ogaji where alternate versions of G exist.

Later that day they are visited by another version of G (who they nickname Jolly due to him being much more happy than Master G.) Jolly warns them that the G they previously encountered, who is called Silver, has made an army of other Gs to make himself king of Ogaji. He explains that on the earth he is from, he is the king, and assumes that he can take over since it is his birth right.

Master G has the idea to combat his army of Anti-Gs with an army of their own, and they do so.

With his army of Gs, they combat the Anti-Gs and eventually get rid of all of them by destroying the Time Temporal they came from.

They assume Silver disappeared with the others, but he turns out to be alive. He returns and attacks, now realizing the only way to get what he wants is to do it himself.

He attacks the Ogaji Royal Palace, and the Ninja try to stop him, but they are unable. Silver wrecks complete havoc on Ogaji City, and G realizes that he can't kill him, as their power is matched, and that if he dies then it would kill him too.

G explains his plan to his students and Tom, and even though they don't want him to go, they realize that it's for the greater good of Ogaji.

Before he leaves, G bestows the title of Ninja to all his students and they say goodbye.

He meets Silver at a village and they fight, while G has the intention of dying. He swirls Silver's sword at himself and is stabbed in the chest.

As G’s life force fades, Silver laments that he is damning Ogaji’s Balance, and he will be killing every other G in the multiverse, to which G replies, “Except for one” before dying.

Silver fades away, and the destruction he caused does too.

The chapter ends with G waking up in a white room wearing a blank silver gi, his appearance matching that of himself 35 years ago. His brother and sister appear next to him and hold out their hand for him to take; he does so, and they drift off into the Departed Realm. . .

Surging Shade

Because of G's death, and the rapid growth of the Edge of the World, the Balance of Ogaji begins to shift, causing more and more evil spirits and dark beings to roam the country.

Partially due to this change in climate, Pythor, of Ninjago Earth-743, returns to Ogaji with the help of a small gang. He plans to recreate an ancient device used by the Overlord in the beginning of time to wipe out all those who have betrayed him in the past.

They are soon apprehended by a new rogue hero who calls herself, the "Jade Princess" (who is actually just Empress Pullumi in disguise.)

Pythor and his gang make several more attempts at reactivating their machine, while also getting in the way of the Ninja and the Jade Princess. The Ninja are forced to move to the Ogaji Palace with Pullumi after they come to the conclusion that it's safer, (what with more and more villains roaming around,) and Jordan becomes suspicious of his mother.

Pythor eventually evades the Ninja, and activates the ancient machine. . . The Ninja and the Jade Princess apprehend them, but they are too late, and it activates. The only way to save all of Ogaji from extinction is to reroute the machine's journey to the sea to lessen the blow. They do this, but it barely works. Radiation emits from the machine into the Edge of the World and Black Valley, which causes the Edge to grow in size. Just then, more and more monsters appear in the island, and some of the Ninja leave to go deal with them.

Meanwhile there is a great disturbance in Black Valley, so Jordan and some others go to the Temple to figure it out. There they accidentally awaken a great Shadow beast known as the Beast of Black Valley Temple.

They warn the other Ninja, and they try to fight back, but it is far too powerful to stop. Chad suddenly starts hearing voices in his head telling him to seal the Beast away at the Temple. He and Tom go there to do this, but when they think they've won, Sheiver appears and tells them that he told him to "seal" the beast, which was a lie to reawaken him.

Sheiver gains control over the Beast and fights with the Ninja. He ends up stealing Chad's blade, and stealing his Golden Power. Meanwhile, the Beast kills Pullumi, and Jordan forgets any of his reforms he made for himself, and goes crazy on the beast. They get caught in a loop, an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object, and it's not until Sheiver calls off the beast that they cease their fighting.

Sheiver spares the lives of the Ninja, but leaves them all injured. He knows that there is a battle yet to come, and so he leaves.

As most of Ogaji lay in ruin, as monsters prowl the countryside, the Ninja hold a small funeral for Pullumi, and Jordan realizes what comes next for him. . . Becoming Emperor.

Dark Winter

Tom and the Ninja are fighting back against the surges of crime in Ogaji when Security-X calls for him, Trevor, Nelly, and Chad to check something out in the City.

He brings them to the Iron Doom, which has arrived at it's destination after His Return. The Ninja board it, in the hopes of returning to Ogaji Earth-1 to recruit G Frost from that earth to help them against Sheiver.

They enter Earth-1, and the Iron Doom crashes, marooning them there. They eventually find that Security-X was just Sheiver in disguise. Now they are stranded on this earth, and so they make their way to find G and his resistance to find a way home.

There they meet the Jackson, Junior, Llide, and G of that world, and they negotiate a way home. G takes them back by creating another Iron Doom, and they return to Earth-2.

Back there they find that Sheiver has imprisoned the other Ninja below the Palace of Ogaji. The others save them, and Jordan kills Shaderoc. Because he killed the Elemental Beast of Sound, he is to become the successor, and that is proven with a blue scar on his forehead.

Now the Ninja are finally together again. Chad, Nelly, and Trevor leave to explore the dungeons. There they enter the Edge of the World, and fight with Captain Zelok, who has been alive the whole time. He fights them, and Chad uses the power of the Dragonbone Blade to absorb the power of the Infinity Crystals. This kills Zelok, but it awakens the Ancient One.

The Ninja rush back, and break the news to their friends.

Sheiver appears and reveals his true motives, and that was that he is Chad's father, and he has been after Light power since Kaitlin was around. This unlocks Chad's true potential, and he uses it to kill Sheiver for good.

With the God of Life being dead, someone has to take his place. Tom volunteers. He says his goodbyes to the Ninja, and wishes them luck.

He takes the power, and a portal to the Sacred Realm opens. He sees Milo and Hope, and returns to them...

Now the Ninja are to be lead by Chad, and they will be ready for whatever the Ancient One throws at them.

End of the World

Raphael, the Master of Speed and Shadow, who was previously defeated by Chad back in Chapter 1, exists in the Ethereal Divide. There he is approached by an army of Oni, who claim he is their king.

Since the beginning of Rebirth, the Balance of Ogaji has faltered, and now that it is at an all time low, the Oni are ready to invade, to return to their son, Darius Dark's land.

The Oni take Raphael back to Ogaji, and the millions of Oni take over the land.

Meanwhile the Ninja attempt to stop them, but the Oni are far too powerful.

The Oni reveal that their plan is to make it to the Oni Temple in order to find the Mask of Rapheil, and destroy Ogaji's Balance for good.

The Ninja split into two teams, and follow the Oni through Prime Evaal's Eye in order to locate the temple. Along the way, Jordan and Nelly are brought to near death during a fight with the Oni, and Chad must choose which of his friends to save.

When he choses Jordan, and let's Nelly die, he creates a rift between him and his friends.

At the Oni Temple. Chad is overcome by power and rage, and fights with his remaining friends until they are all dead, believing them to be Oni in disguise, testing him.

When he finds that that is not the case, he fights with the Oni army, defeating them and even Rapheil.

He is filled with pride, fully believing he has defeated them for good, when Rapheil reveals that the truth is that Rapheil let him win, and now the real battle begins.

Rapheil kills Chad, and obtains the Mask of Rapheil. The Oni have won. Ogaji has fallen, and the Elemental Masters are gone.

Author's Notes

• This series closes the story of Jonah, after his story-arc began in the beginning of The Light Knight.
  • It also closes Gordon Gold's story arc, after it began in The Hero of Light, Maxwell Robins, and Simon Roothus.
• This is the longest series in terms of chapter count, with 9 in total..
  • It is the second longest in episode count, with 49 in total, second only to Milo's Adventures, with 60 episodes.
• This is the first series to end with the heroes losing to the villains in the end.
  • This idea is basically an extension of my obsession with this storytelling trope. It's an idea that I played with in the first series of Legends of Ogaji, but this was the big guns. It's also my favorite example of the hero causing the downfall of his team, with Chad losing his mind and murdering his team. It's so dark, but so fun to write.

• Overall I am very satisfied with the story that I told in this series. There were a few weak chapters, The Deicide and Ipseity Crisis come to mind, but otherwise I had fun writing for the new characters, and because I had this brand new cast I was able to tell new and interesting stories.
