Got it.

It doesn't. Trust me, this build-up has nothing to do with any major event of Baby Fork at all. It's supposed to be right after the battle against Cosmos, where the gang are about to celebrate their victory (?). Let me explain.

You see, despite the fact that Starcade got two major upgrades, she still feels upset of the fact that Kyoji isn't around. In fact, I'll say that after getting the upgrades, Starcade's desire to see Kyoji again gets even stronger as she wants to share the joy she had from her best moments (getting the upgrades, defeating villains, etc) with him. Which is why my plan for the build-up is when someone in the gang notices that Starcade is upset, to which Starcade tells about how she misses Kyoji and the other ninjas. Someone else will claim that the ninjas will never come back, which will greatly upset Starcade and lead her to declaring that she needs to be left alone until Kyoji comes back, before leaving.

In the next story, Starcade won't be with the gang in the beginning. She will be found later by one of the smaller groups that the gang splits up into.
