Story
The story begins with what appears to be a flashback to many years ago, with a younger Itachi in his human form fighting Shogo the Warlord with his sword. ''Shogo showers a barrage of shadow blasts on Itachi, who uses his sword to deflect most of the shadow blasts. However, Itachi gets hit by one of the shadow blasts, causing him to drop his sword. Shogo takes advantage of this by controlling the tall grass around Itachi, which wrap themselves all over Itachi. Itachi manages to break free from one of the grass blades, but soon gets overwhelmed by the rest of the grass blades surrounding him, as Shogo controls the grass to fully encapsulate Itachi, concealing him in a grass cocoon. Inside the cocoon, there is an image of Shogo's face laughing at him, as Itachi himself is slowly undergoing unnatural metamorphosis.'' Suddenly, the image of Shogo's face transforms into an image of the face of a rather hideous-looking shadow monster, who is telepathically talking to him. ''The Warlord's eyes suddenly glow white, as Itachi looks at the Warlord, before he falls asleep. The metamorphosis is soon complete, as Itachi has transformed into a completely different being - a half-human, half-grass demon. Itachi then opens his eyes, which now appear demonic, with the Warlord's faint and maniacal laughter being heard in the background. The scene then goes back to the present time, where the Grass Sword is seen returned back to normal, despite having been killed almost an hour ago. The Grass Sword looks at his surroundings, as he sees no one but Shogo right in front of him.'' ''Shogo gives new instructions to the Grass Sword. Meanwhile, the gang lands themselves into the ocean, as they see a combination of blizzards, earthquakes, tornadoes, wildfires and thunderstorms occurring in Echo Creek.'' ''The gang swims towards the shores of Echo Creek, ready to take on Shogo and his forces again. When they arrive, they see an army of silhouette soldiers attacking everything in sight, assisting Blizzard, Earthquake, Tornado, Wildfire and Thunderstorm, who are creating natural disasters everywhere.'' Some members of the gang spot the rest of the gang swimming towards the shore. Blizzard turns around and spots the gang, stopping whatever he is doing. ''The silhouette soldiers stop attacking the city, before they charge towards the gang at once, ready to attack them. As they do so, Blizzard, Earthquake, Tornado, Wildfire, and Thunderstorm fly deeper into the city to cause destruction.'' Kaitlynn hurriedly grabs out a blaster gun, stumbling along the way before proceeding to shoot the silhouette warriors. Captain Red Shell uses his sword to create light waves, shooting them at the silhouette soldiers. Red Fork rams into the silhouette soldiers while shooting magic blasts at them. Everyone starts attacking the silhouette soldiers. ''Marco beats up some silhouette warriors with karate. A few silhouette soldiers get taken out, but more of them appear from their hiding spots, ambushing the gang. One of the silhouette soldiers uses his silhouette weapon against Marco, knocking him into a wall.'' Star's wand shoots waves of light at the silhouette soldiers, stunning some of them. ''Corolla shoots electric orbs and lasers at the silhouette soldiers. After a while, the gang manages to defeat the wave of silhouette soldiers before them, for now.'' Meanwhile, in a deeper section of Echo Creek, Blizzard, Earthquake, Tornado, Wildfire, and Thunderstorm were met by heavy resistance from the obscure task force better known as the Purple-Ops. ''Starshine tosses hand fans at Thunderstorm as if they were boomerangs. She also uses her shiny smile to dazzle the God-Elemental ninjas, making it hard for them to see. Earthquake pounds the ground, causing Starshine to stop smiling and trip, allowing the God-Element Ninjas to see again. Wildfire burns the tree roots summoned by Morning Glory with his flames, Tornado spins around and forms a whirlwind strong enough to blow Windy Cloud's lightning cloud away while Thunderstorm easily destroys Starshine's hand fans with his lightning bolts.'' Blizzard proceeds to fly into the sky, before showering sharp icicles all over the Purple-Ops. ''Thunderstorm flies up, before causing lightning bolts to rain down from the skies on the Purple-Ops. Morning Glory creates a dome made of tree roots and vines in an attempt to shield her allies.'' Wildfire tosses several fireballs at once, quickly burning down Morning Glory's dome. ''Earthquake runs towards the Purple-Ops at full speed, delivering powerful punches to them. Starshine blocks the punches with her umbrella, while Windy Cloud flies above Earthquake, assaulting him with lightning.'' Blizzard flies above Windy Cloud, before assaulting her with ice and snow. ''Wildfire shoots a volley of fireballs at the Purple-Ops, but quickly gets ambushed by Black Planter, Polar Tundra and Professor Orange. Wildfire takes great damage from the surprise attacks.'' Wildfire charges up power, but quickly gets blasted as Professor Orange takes out a laser cannon and shoots Wildfire with it before the latter can make his move. ''Thunderstorm flies towards Polar Tundra and Professor Orange at lightning speed, raining punches on them and knocking them into walls. Black Planter leaps at Thunderstorm, who dodges her attacks swiftly and counter-attacks her with a lightning bolt that sends her flying into a wall.'' ''Starshine puts on an opera outfit, and starts singing opera at an incredibly high volume, using it as an attack against Thunderstorm. Thunderstorm gets stunned by the attack, as he is unable to attack properly.'' Blizzard flies towards Starshine, before shooting an ice beam at her, freezing her. ''Wildfire steps forward, before showering fireballs everywhere on the Purple-Ops members. Windy Cloud flies above them again, and kicks a cloud to make it rain on Wildfire.'' ''Polar Tundra throws snowballs at Wildfire, who is unable to retaliate due to the cloud raining on him. Tornado uses her wind powers to blow the cloud away from Wildfire, allowing him to attack again.'' ''Wildfire jumps around excitedly, before tossing flames at Polar Tundra, burning her to the point of defeat. Meanwhile, Tornado flies towards Windy Cloud.'' Tornado shoots several wind blasts at Windy Cloud that are strong enough to send her flying into a wall.
 * Itachi: Take that, Shogo! You're going down!
 * Shogo: How brave of you to take on me by yourself, young one. But your attempt to defeat me shall be futile.
 * Itachi: No, it will not. I will defeat you once and for all, and restore peace back to Japan!
 * Shogo: It's no use. You are of no match for me, dear boy. Fighting a ninja like you shall be easy!
 * Itachi: Oh, you can be sure I'll give you a hard time! Your evil reign will be over soon!
 * Shogo: We'll see about that once this battle is over!
 * Itachi: What the...what's going on? (blades of grass cover his mouth) Mmmmph!!!
 * ???: Greetings, Itachi.
 * Itachi: Who...who are you? What do you want?
 * ???: It is I, the Warlord, former king of the Shadow Dimension. The man you saw was merely a body that I've taken over. He's already dead.
 * Itachi: What? Are you going to kill me?
 * The Warlord: Don't worry, I have no interest in killing you. In fact, you've been one interesting fighter. You're strong, resilient and merciless.
 * Itachi: Get straight to the point, Warlord. What do you want from me?
 * The Warlord: Oh, you know, I would've wanted to end your life right here. I have the power to do that. But no, I have something else in mind. You seem to be one of the better ninjas out there, so I think you will be perfect in helping me.
 * Itachi: Never!
 * The Warlord: So you choose to deny? Well, this makes this a whole lot easier for me. I'll just have to reset you completely.
 * Itachi: What?
 * The Warlord: Goodbye, Itachi. But don't worry, you'll be back soon. As good as new.
 * Grass Sword: What the? I'm back? Where am I?
 * Shogo: Oh, you're awake.
 * Grass Sword: Yes, master. I am.
 * Shogo: So you didn't manage to kill Kyoji as I instructed, did you?
 * Grass Sword: No, I didn't. I apologize for failing to do so.
 * Shogo: I figured that would happen. But I have something else in mind for you to help me with in case my usual plans backfire.
 * Grass Sword: What is it?
 * Shogo: Here, take this. (gives the Grass Sword a black crystal)
 * Grass Sword: A black crystal? How did you get one of those?
 * Shogo: Don't ask. Now here's what I want you to do...
 * Alice: This is terrible! They're attacking Echo Creek!
 * Blast: And with Shogo back, this is definitely going to be a tough fight to win.
 * Akasha: Curse that Grass Sword!
 * Kyoji: This is no time for cursing, we have to go back in there and fight Shogo and his forces again. There's no way we're letting him conquer the world.
 * Blast: You're right.
 * Red Ruby: Yeah, that's for sure.
 * Starcade: I just can't believe this is happening again!
 * Green Shadow: This might be tough, but we can do this. Let's go!
 * Red Fork: Yeah. We've defeated Shogo before, we can do it again!
 * Bendy: Oh, boy, this oughta be something... (Prepares his cartoony weaponry)
 * Gerald: (wielding his sword) Oh, hey guys! Didn't see you there.
 * Kaitlynn: Thank the stars, you guys are here!
 * Red Fork: Jelo! Long time no see!
 * Gerald: How's the rest of the gang doing?
 * Green Shadow: Pretty good, but I'm afraid we don't have time to explain now.
 * Pit: Hey, guys! How did you end up in the sea...?
 * Blast: It's a long story.
 * Alice: To make it short, Shogo has returned.
 * Tommy: And Echo Creek is in trouble!
 * Red Fork: We need to stop him.
 * Kaitlynn: That explains the shadowy figures everywhere.
 * Toby Topaz: What are we going to do now?
 * Blizzard: There they are! Now that Shogo is back, we must proceed with his plans to conquer the entire world! The Locked Room Gang is our allies no more, they are now an enemy group we must destroy for being in our way! Silhouette soldiers, take them down!
 * Gerald: Shadow figures! (slashes the silhouette soldiers)
 * Pit: We won't let them get away with this! (shooting light arrows at the silhouette soldiers)
 * Kaitlynn: AAAHH!
 * Bendy: Hey, shadow people were MY thing! (Grabs a hammer and smashes some of the silhouette soldiers)
 * Richard: Get out, you shadow guys! (slashes at the silhouette soldiers)
 * Captain Red Shell: Light is the weakness of shadow enemies.
 * Red Fork: This is how you... FIGHT! (waves his front legs in the air while screaming)
 * Tommy: Alice, why is Red Fork screaming?
 * Alice: He's just being Red Fork, that's all.
 * Boom: Yeah, here we go!
 * Blast: I'm not going to give up to a bunch of silhouettes!
 * Blue Ocean: I wish Shogo hadn't returned.
 * Electra: Me too! You think I wanted this?
 * Rosewell: One barrage of boomerangs, coming right up! (throws boomerangs at the silhouette soldiers)
 * Kaitlynn: Leave us and everyone alone! (shoots some silhouette soldiers with the blaster gun)
 * Bonk Choy: How many of these things does Shogo have? (punches the silhouette soldiers)
 * Starcade: As many as he can possibly throw against us. (shoots energy blasts at the silhouette soldiers)
 * Green Shadow: Don't fear, we'll take them down together. Shogo and his forces won't win. (shoots peas at the silhouette soldiers)
 * Star: Super Bright Star Light!
 * Bendy: Alright! YEE-HAW! (Uses his mallet to crush some of the silhouette soldiers)
 * Amelia Amethyst: Hooray! We defeated them!
 * Toby Topaz: Well, that's a relief.
 * Marco: Oh, thank goodness they're gone!
 * Sean Sapphire: That can't be all of them. We should search the city to ensure that all of those soldiers are gone.
 * Gerald: Good idea.
 * Morning Glory: Urgh... I'll admit, you're all strong, but just so you know, I am an elemental, too! The protector of Gaia's Creation! (Summons tree roots from the ground to attack Blizzard)
 * Windy Cloud: Yeah, you're gonna be wrecked by the weather queen! (kicks a large cloud, causing it to shoot lightning at Tornado and Earthquake)
 * Starshine: As I always say, break a leg! Nah, break two!
 * Blizzard: Get a grip, you fools. You'll never defeat us!
 * Fearmaster: The only fools here are the ones who don't face their fears! (Points his weapon to Earthquake and fires fear gas towards him)
 * Earthquake: Bad news for you, I don't have any fears! (throws a huge boulder towards the Fearmaster)
 * Starshine: Take cover! (uses her umbrella to block the icicles, which bounce off of the umbrella)
 * Tornado: Bye bye! (shoots a strong gust of wind, blowing Starshine's umbrella away)
 * Thunderstorm: Some resistance you are. But I have something shocking in store for you!
 * Morning Glory: Okay, this battle ain't going nowhere!
 * Windy Cloud: Where's Grim Shadow when you need him?
 * Starshine: Wait, he's not with us!? Where is he!?
 * Tornado: What's wrong, looking for your friend? (winks)
 * Thunderstorm: Stop fooling around, Tornado!
 * Wildfire: No roots or vines can stop us!
 * Earthquake: (pounds his fists) Now it's showtime!
 * Starshine: They're much stronger than I thought!
 * Blizzard: And there's much more to it.
 * Wildfire: Yeah, we burn real hot too!
 * Wildfire: What the? There's more of you? Plants?
 * Black Planter: Yes, we're here to help the Purple-Ops!
 * Polar Tundra: Get rekt, noob!
 * Wildfire: What makes you think you plants can stop us? In fact, plants like you should be easy for me to burn! Get ready to feel it!
 * Professor Orange: You're not that smart, are you?
 * Wildfire: What?
 * Thunderstorm: He might not be smart, but I am.
 * Thunderstorm: Hmph! Is that all you got, Purple-Ops?
 * Starshine: We aren't done with you yet!
 * Thunderstorm: Make...it...STOP!
 * Blizzard: I got your back.
 * Blizzard: Sorry pal, but concert's cancelled.
 * Thunderstorm: Thanks for the save.
 * Blizzard: Don't mention it, Thunderstorm. Let's get the rest of the resistance.
 * Thunderstorm: Of course, let's do it.
 * Windy Cloud: Uh oh, Starshine's down!
 * Wildfire: Burn down, Purple-Ops!
 * Windy Cloud: Oh no you won't!
 * Wildfire: Aah!
 * Windy Cloud: Guys, we've gotta give it all we've got!
 * Black Planter: That's right.
 * Polar Tundra: Eat ice, noob!
 * Wildfire: Fire! Fire! Fire!
 * Tornado: Wind beats clouds, girl!
 * Windy Cloud: Ouch! Oh... (falls to the ground, unable to continue)
 * Blizzard: That's three down, now let's get the rest of them!
 * Black Planter: This is terrible. Polar Tundra, Starshine and now Windy Cloud?
 * Professor Orange: We need another strategy against these ninjas. If only Grim Shadow was here with us, this could've gone much smoother.

(W.I.P.)
