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. Blizzard, Earthquake, Tornado, Wildfire and Thunderstorm simultaneously rain their attacks all over the remaining Purple-Ops members, defeating them. Blizzard, Earthquake, Tornado, Wildfire and Thunderstorm split up into different directions, just before the gang shows up to find the Purple-Ops members defeated. Kyoji looks around, and sees evidence that the Ancient God-Element Ninjas were here. ''The gang proceeds to look for the rest of the Ancient God-Element Ninjas. On their way, they encounter a strange-looking silhouette approaching them, which appears to be another one of Shogo's silhouette soldiers.'' ''Red Ruby charges towards the silhouette, but he instead gets grabbed and thrown to a wall.  From the shadows, the gang are caught by surprise when they see the Grass Sword appear, fully recovered and with his sword in his hand.'' The Grass Sword takes out a black crystal. Suddenly, the gang sees more silhouette soldiers charging at them from all directions. ''Before Kyoji can activate the black crystal's powers, a few silhouette soldiers tackle him in an attempt to make him drop the black crystal. A portal then appears, as several of the gang's allies emerge, including Team Hybrids, the Sprout Squad, the Retro Rebels and more.'' ''Kyoji activates the black crystal, sending the gang back in time while their allies stay behind to fight the silhouette soldiers. The gang finds themselves in a dimension where everything seems...elemental.'' The gang moves along, as they come across an ancient mural which displays ten elemental symbols (Fire, Ice, Water, Electricity, Air, Earth, Grass, Metal, Shadow, and Light) surrounding a yin yang symbol. ''Suddenly, sounds of fighting can be heard coming from a castle that is a distance away from the gang.  The gang makes their way to the castle, as they see an evil shadow demon taking down several armored ninjas guarding the castle.'' ''A while later, the shadow demon has defeated all the armored ninjas, before entering the throne room. The gang follows him while trying to remain undetected. When they enter, they see the shadow demon confronting what appears to be Elementia from the past.'' The Warlord and Elementia begin fighting each other, as the gang watches the intense battle take place. Before the elemental ninjas are able to perform their combo, the gang sees that the Warlord is making his way outside the castle after finding out that Elementia is too strong for him to handle. The Warlord makes his way out of Elementia's castle. Elementia chases after the Warlord, leaving the entire throne room empty and the Orb of Power exposed. ''The elemental ninjas perform the elemental combo, destroying the Orb of Power. However, even though the Orb is destroyed, nothing else happens.'' ''The gang heads outside, where they see the Warlord attacking Elementia's citizens. He is about to create a devastating attack on them, but Elementia steps in and sacrifices herself, absorbing the attack and losing her life.'' ''The gang hides, as the Warlord turns around upon hearing something. Seeing that there's nothing, the Warlord goes back to causing destruction.'' ''The Warlord walks towards the Crown of Elementia, but before he can grab it, a teenage girl who appears to be Elementia's daughter snatches it away from him and puts it on.  Elementia's daughter uses the Crown of Elementia and flies back to the castle, with the Warlord in pursuit.'' The gang follows the Warlord and Elementia's daughter into the throne room, where Elementia's daughter is furious to see the Orb of Power being destroyed. Elementia's daughter angrily searches through the shards, as she finds traces of the elemental combo that the elemental ninjas performed on the Orb of Power earlier. Suddenly, the entire castle is filled with darkness, as the Warlord shows up and spots the gang. Elementia's daughter hears the commotion, and turns around, seeing the Warlord talking to the gang. ''Elementia's daughter summons samples of all ten elements, before putting them together to perform a powerful combo. She rains the combo upon everyone in the castle, but Kyoji activates the black crystal before that combo can hit anyone, sending the gang back to Echo Creek in the present timeline.  The gang goes to search for their allies, when all of a sudden, they see the skies in Echo Creek become much darker than usual.'' ''The gang quickly continues searching for their allies. Meanwhile, the Grass Sword returns to the cave that belongs to the Ancient God-Element Ninjas to report to Shogo the success of his plan.'' ''Shogo suddenly starts glowing, as the spirit of the Warlord forces himself out of Shogo's body. As the Warlord's spiritual body slowly morphs back into his corporeal body, he also gains his full strength back, as well as the rest of his powers. Shogo's dead body just collapses, as the Warlord returns to his original state.'' The Warlord levitates Shogo's dead body, before tossing it away and into the ocean. ''The Warlord fires a shadow ray at the Grass Sword. However, instead of filling the Grass Sword's head with his own memories, he fills it with his own aura of darkness, causing the Grass Sword to feel excruciating pain.'' ''The Warlord stops firing his shadow ray at the Grass Sword, causing the latter to fall unconscious due to the overwhelming pain. Moments later, the Grass Sword wakes up, with glowing red eyes.'' ''The Grass Sword runs out of the cave and into the forest, in pursuit of the gang.  The Warlord opens a portal and enters it, entering the Portal Dimension. When he arrives, the Portal Master is in his capsule, as he shrieks in fear.'' The Warlord teleports next to the protective dome surrounding the Infinity Cube. ''The Warlord showers shadow blasts all over the protective dome, destroying it completely, leaving the Infinity Cube exposed. The Portal Master sees this and panics.'' ''The Portal Master conjures a portal in an attempt to snatch it quickly. However, the Warlord shoots a shadow blast into that portal which hits the Portal Master, knocking him out. He then grabs the Infinity Cube.'' ''The Warlord uses the Infinity Cube to bring back the deceased, including Ink Smash, Fake Fork, Frosty and more. As they return from their deaths as ghosts, they look around the Portal Dimension, confused.'' (W.I.P.)
 * 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.
 * Fearmaster: (To his earpiece) Sir, if you have any ideas, we'll be more than happy to hear them!
 * Alan (Earpiece): I'm trying to come up with something, thank you for asking. I only know how to deal with pubescent children with powers, but these ninjas... They're special.
 * Fearmaster: Well, can you send out your special forces??
 * Alan (Earpiece): Can't do that. It'll risk getting the agency into the spotlight.
 * Tornado: Who are you talking to?
 * Black Planter: That's none of your business.
 * Blizzard: So is our response to you interfering with ours.
 * Earthquake: Yeah, what on earth were you thinking?
 * Wildfire: Now that you're here, we'll just have to burn you all to ashes!
 * Thunderstorm: Goodbye, Purple-Ops. It was foolish trying to stop us.
 * Tornado: Sayonara!
 * Blizzard: This must only be the beginning of our obstacles. If the others are going to be fast, so do we.
 * Wildfire: How are we going to conquer the world like our master said?
 * Blizzard: Let's split up. And remember to hold onto your black crystals that Master Shogo gave us. We'll only use them if it's an emergency, got it?
 * Tornado: How did he get those crystals again?
 * Blizzard: I don't know either, but I don't think we should question such trivial matters. Let's get going before anyone sees us.
 * Akasha: Who are these guys?
 * Starcade: I think they're the Purple-Ops, according to what the Red Crystals told us. Looks like they're beaten up.
 * Blue Ocean: Yup, it's them alright.
 * Blast: What are they doing here anyway?
 * Green Shadow: They must've tried to stop Shogo and his forces too.
 * Starcade: Oh dear...I heard the Purple-Ops were a powerful task force. If they can't stop Shogo's forces, who can?
 * Kyoji: Calm down, Starcade. We'll have to find another way. Wait a minute...
 * Kyoji: Blizzard was here! And so are Earthquake, Tornado, Wildfire and Thunderstorm!
 * Tsunami: Well, we have to find them! I'm not letting them and Shogo take over the world at all costs!
 * Gerald: (to Tsunami) Oh, didn't see you there! ...Who are you, by the way?
 * Red Fork: Tsunami is Akasha and Takeshi's mother, and also a God-Element Ninja. She's on our side.
 * Gerald: Ah, I see. Well then... (to Tsunami) Nice to meet you!
 * Tsunami: Nice to meet you. What's your name?
 * Kyoji: Gerald. But everyone calls him "Jelo".
 * Tsunami: I see.
 * CypherDen: Tsunami...that's a nickname, right? I mean, whoever calls their kid "Tsunami" or something like that?
 * Pit: It probably is.
 * Tsunami: Yes, it's a name everyone's been giving me ever since I became a God-Element Ninja myself. Just like Blizzard and the others, who unfortunately still hasn't seen the light yet like I did.
 * Akasha: That was because I restored your memories, Mother. Still can't believe our father would've done such a thing to erase them!
 * Tsunami: Yes, yes, but it's over now. Let's put the past behind us and stop Blizzard and the others, shall we?
 * Gerald: Let's do it.
 * Pit: An adventure? Awesome!
 * Kernely: Let's go!
 * Red Fork: Let's take care of those God-Element Ninjas before they cause more trouble.
 * Kernely: AH! Another silhouette soldier!
 * Red Ruby: Leave it to me!
 * Red Ruby: Ow.
 * Starcade: Whoa.
 * Jaiden: Aah! Are you okay?
 * Dark Green Shadow: This silhouette must be some trouble!
 * Green Shadow: Hmm...I'm not sure about...wait, what is that?
 * Kyoji: That's not a silhouette soldier, that's...Itachi? But how?
 * Red Fork: What's going on?
 * Blue Ocean: He lives?
 * Tommy: He lives!
 * Akasha: No! I thought we killed him!
 * Tsunami: Akasha, that's enough.
 * Kyoji: Itachi, what's going on? I'm sorry about what I did to you a few hours ago, but...
 * Grass Sword: Save the apology, my friend, I'm not interested in that. I just want to talk.
 * Blue Ocean: Talk?
 * Blast: About what?
 * Grass Sword: Look, about trying to kill you and your friends, I apologize for putting you through that.
 * Kyoji: Don't worry about it.
 * Takeshi: Wait, why did you try to kill us?
 * Grass Sword: I was promised the restoration of my memories by Shogo in exchange for your death and the death of those who stood before him, but after failing to deliver my part of the deal, he replaced me with another ninja who he thinks is far superior than I am. I also found out that he was the one who took away my memories in the first place and I decided to leave him after discovering the truth. Which is why, I think it'll be best if we work together to stop him from his evil plans.
 * Blast: In that case, welcome aboard!
 * Alice: Wait a moment... who is this ninja Shogo replaced you with?
 * Grass Sword: I'm not sure who he is, but it might be Shadow Kyoji. All I saw was Shogo talking to a silhouette, and Shogo kicked me out before I can find out who this ninja he's talking to is.
 * Kyoji: Shadow Kyoji?
 * Blue Ocean: Oh boy, this doesn't sound good.
 * Red Fork: Well, Shadow Kyoji or not, we have to stop Shogo again, and save the world!
 * Akasha: Wait, how can we be sure that you're not lying?
 * Grass Sword: Because I have just the key ingredient.
 * Gerald: Wait...is that...
 * Grass Sword: Don't act surprised. I found one on the way to finding you, it's a good thing these crystals are all over the place. I have a plan to put Shogo back to sleep, but I don't think you'll like it.
 * Emily Green: You found one of those black crystals.
 * Blue Ocean: Gee, how many of those things did Captain Dark Shell leave behind anyway?
 * Red Fork: Many, apparently.
 * Electra: Hm... I'm not sure... what if you let one of us use the black crystal instead? You know, just to make sure.
 * Grass Sword: That's exactly what my plan is about. I've seen Shogo's true form as a shadow demon as he's talking to what I thought might be Shadow Kyoji.
 * Sasuke: Water's on your mind, brother?
 * Grass Sword: The key to defeating Shogo is by breaking the Orb of Power, yes? Well, I have a plan for you to use this black crystal to go back in time and break that orb. Go back to the time when he first attempted to conquer the world on his own. Break the orb, and it will undo all the damage Shogo has done to this world. But there's one catch, don't talk to anyone in that timeline or it will cause unnecessary trouble.
 * Red Fork: Sounds easy. I'll go!
 * Kyoji: Let's do this.
 * Akasha: I have a bad feeling about this.
 * Grass Sword: Take the crystal, Kyoji. (gives the black crystal to Kyoji)
 * Kyoji: Thanks, we have to move before...
 * Kernely: Okay, now THAT'S some silhouette soldiers. (lobs flaming butter at the silhouette soldiers)
 * Kaitlynn: Aah! No, no, no, no! (reaches for the blaster gun hurriedly) There it is! (shoots the silhouette soldiers)
 * Gerald: (slashes the silhouette soldiers around him) We're not letting you stop us!
 * Red Fork: Quick, Kyoji! Use the black crystal to get us out of here!
 * Pit: Yeah, come on! (quickly overwhelmed by silhouette soldiers)
 * Kyoji: Hang on.
 * Richard: Hey, it's the Sprout Squad!
 * Gerald: I see you guys must've made a lot of friends.
 * Starcade: You're here!
 * Pincers: Yup, we came as soon as you called.
 * Crusade: So what's happening here? More shadow crabs?
 * Starcade: Sort of, but not really. They're silhouette soldiers trying to take over Echo Creek and the world!
 * Viking: In that case, we must get smashing!
 * Smokey Bacon: These guys are going to have to "chill"!
 * Owl: Don't worry, Starcade, we'll hold them off.
 * Fat Cat: Meow!
 * Hot Air: This is like Captain Dark Shell all over again, isn't it?
 * Starcade: Yes. The gang and I are about to travel to the past. Shogo will be gone in no time! Are you guys sure you can take care of this?
 * Apple John: Oh, you'd better believe so!
 * Wendy: We can do this.
 * Ink Splash: These silhouettes are about to get crushed.
 * Pepper: Yay! Let's do this!
 * Dark Trident: Let's crush them!
 * Dyna-Matic: Operation Demolition engage.
 * Test Subject Blue: Retro Rebels, let's get them!
 * Pink Angel: We got your back!
 * Starcade: Thanks.
 * Green Shadow: Kyoji, how's it looking?
 * Kyoji: I'm all set. Let's go.
 * Red Ruby: What the?
 * Gary Garnet: This place looks bizarre. This can't be Echo Creek.
 * Rebecca: This is really weird and...yeah, weird.
 * Green Shadow: Where are we?
 * Kyoji: This place looks familiar.
 * Akasha: I can't help but feel the same.
 * Tsunami: Yes, I remember now. This is Elementia's very own dimension, but in the past!
 * CypherDen: Who's Elementia?
 * Tsunami: The goddess of elements. She's the one who ensures the balance of different elements across the multiverse.
 * Pit: There's a goddess of elements?
 * Blast: Whoa...
 * Corolla: Oh my gosh! She sounds cool!
 * Tommy: This is so cool!
 * Red Fork: Do you think she can help us?
 * Tsunami: I would say most likely, considering that Shogo is out there trying to conquer the world. There's not much we know about Elementia, but what we do know is that she is to be respected at all times. She's powerful, and rumor has it that she is able to perform an elemental combo by herself. You do not want to get to her bad side.
 * Toby Topaz: Oh my...
 * Corolla: ...Okay, maybe not.
 * Sean Sapphire: That doesn't sound good.
 * Kyoji: Hence, let's do what we got to do fast.
 * Starcade: What's the plan, Kyoji?
 * Kyoji: We must execute Itachi's plan. To find the Orb of Power, break it and get out of here. We can't let anyone in this timeline see us.
 * Jaiden: ...Timeline? What timeline?
 * Kyoji: This timeline. We're in the past back when Shogo was trying to conquer the world for the first time, and Elementia's dimension appears to be the place. I'm not sure why he came here, but it can't be anything good. We must get moving.
 * Blue Ocean: Yup. Let's be careful to not mess up the timeline.
 * Emily Green: Yeah, I know how terrible that kind of stuff can turn out...
 * Red Fork: Let's go!
 * Bendy: Did this Elementia also stole the Yin Yang symbol from the Chinese as well?
 * Blast: Whoa! What's this?
 * Alice: It seems to be an ancient mural.
 * Red Fork: Look! It has all the elements!
 * Gerald: Sure does....but I didn't know whatever those two things were are elements.
 * Tommy: But what about that one? (points at Metal) What element is that?
 * Tsunami: I believe that's metal. Although it's strange we haven't seen any metal ninjas around here lately.
 * Takeshi: Oh, that reminds me of that ninja we worked for once. He wasn't a metal ninja, but he sure worked with a lot of metal weapons. It was a relief that we stopped working for him.
 * Sasuke: Wait, do you mean...
 * Takeshi: Yes, him.
 * Akasha: Who are you talking about, Takeshi?
 * Takeshi: I'll tell you another time, sister.
 * Kyoji: That would be great, because there's no time to waste.
 * Starcade: Wait, what exactly are we looking for?
 * Blade: What's that?
 * Captain Red Shell: It's the sound of battle, no doubt about it.
 * Red Fork: Do you think that could be Shogo?
 * Bendy: He likes battles, eh? (Prepares a mallet) Well, we're about to give him a taste of his own medicine!
 * Green Shadow: Let's go!
 * ???: MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You've got nothing against me, you weak soldiers!
 * Kaitlynn: Aah! What the heck is...t-that?!
 * Starcade: Wait, who's that? Shogo?
 * Akasha: What? Is that how our father really looks like?
 * Takeshi: This...this can't be true!
 * Tsunami: I'm not sure what's going on either, but this must've happened in the past. Did Shogo do all that?
 * Toby Topaz: Now this is something I cannot unsee!
 * Pit: Your father was a giant shadowy...thing?
 * Akasha: What? We don't even know about that! We don't even know if that's true!
 * Blue Ocean: Something feels really strange about this.
 * Red Fork: Yeah. Let's follow that shadow demon and figure out what's going on here.
 * Kaitlynn: Good idea.
 * ???: Elementia, I've come to challenge you!
 * Elementia: Warlord! So I see you've been trying to take over the multiverse, yes? Is ruling the Shadow Dimension not enough for you?
 * The Warlord: Far from enough. The multiverse will be in my hands once you're out of the way.
 * Elementia: I'm sorry, but that won't happen. I'm not letting you break the balance of elements! I've made my verdict, and the only way I see to end your spread of evil is your execution.
 * The Warlord: Do you think I'm scared? You may be the goddess of elements, but that won't stop me from my plans!
 * Elementia: We'll find out soon enough.
 * The Warlord: Prepare to perish!
 * Blast: That shadow demon is called The Warlord!
 * Red Fork: Wait, isn't Shogo usually called Shogo the Warlord?
 * Blue Ocean: That shadow demon might have something to do with Shogo after all.
 * Green Shadow: Yeah.
 * Starcade: It's too bad that we can't step in. But the only thing we can do now is to find a way to break the Orb of Power over there. (points to the Orb of Power next to Elementia)
 * Pit: Maybe we can break it with swords? (splits the Palutena Bow into two swords)
 * Starcade: Well, the last time it took an elemental combo to destroy the Orb. I doubt swords will work. And we can't be seen by anyone in this timeline either.
 * Blast: Then let's do an elemental combo. We can shoot it at the Orb from here.
 * Kyoji: Then let's do it. Akasha, Takeshi, Sasuke, Sakura and Tsunami, get ready.
 * Elementia: You're a lot stronger than I thought.
 * The Warlord: But I don't think killing you directly for your crown is working. If I can't take the Crown of Elementia from you, I'll just have to force you to give it to me.
 * Elementia: What are you up to now, Warlord?
 * The Warlord: MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
 * Elementia: Hey, come back here!
 * Red Fork: It's the perfect moment. Strike now!
 * Kyoji: Ready?
 * Akasha: Ready!
 * Takeshi: Ready!
 * Sasuke: Ready!
 * Sakura: Ready!
 * Tsunami: Ready!
 * Blast: Wait... there's something wrong?
 * Tommy: I thought something cool would happen when the orb was destroyed.
 * Captain Red Shell: This is unexpected.
 * Green Shadow: We should probably see what's going on.
 * Kyoji: Alright, just be careful. If anything goes wrong, we'll have to get out of here.
 * Pit: No!
 * Akasha: Wait, he's still alive?!
 * Takeshi: And he killed Elementia! Did that really happen?
 * Tsunami: I believe that's the mother of the Elementia we know from the present. It appears she sacrificed herself to save her people.
 * Gerald: That was really brave of her, saving her people...but this Warlord guy's still probably gonna rampage and destroy everything!
 * Akasha: The question I'm more concerned about is how that demonic freak is still alive.
 * Takeshi: Yeah. That's confusing.
 * Red Fork: (impressed) Wow... that's heroic...
 * Blue Ocean: I agree. Not every hero would do something like that.
 * Blast: But what happens now? The Warlord is still there!
 * The Warlord: (hears Blast) Hmm?
 * Red Ruby: HIDE!
 * The Warlord: Citizens of Elementis!
 * Dark Green Shadow: (quietly) Elementis? Is this what this dimension is called?
 * The Warlord: From this day forth, you are under my new rule! I have set you free from the chains that your previous leader, Elementia, has placed upon your lives! And now, I'm about to begin a new era of darkness and despair in this very dimension!
 * Elementia's Daughter: Not so fast!
 * The Warlord: NOOOOOOOO!!!
 * Elementia's Daughter: After studying my mother's crown and its powers, I have just the solution to put you out of commission! We will not let you take over the multiverse!
 * The Warlord: Come back here!
 * Green Shadow: Let's follow them.
 * Gerald: Good idea.
 * Blue Ocean: Got it!
 * Blast: Is that Elementia's daughter?
 * Alice: Seems so.
 * Kyoji: And that might be the same Elementia we know today.
 * Boom: I wanna see her beat up that Warlord big time!
 * Tsunami: I think that happened before. But after we destroyed the Orb of Power from that timeline, I'm not sure if that would happen again.
 * Akasha: Well mother, I'm still curious on what changes are to come.
 * Red Ruby: Me too. I want to see how the Warlord gets blown up into smithereens!
 * Elementia's Daughter: What? I was just about to use that orb on him! Who did this?!
 * Elementia's Daughter: An elemental combo? What?
 * Toby Topaz: Uh oh.
 * Green Shadow: I don't understand. What did she mean when she said that she's going to use the Orb of Power on the Warlord?
 * Starcade: Perhaps that explains why Shogo dies when the orb breaks somehow?
 * The Warlord: Why, it appears we have a group of fools who attempted to kill me, eh? You remind me of that resistance who tried to prevent me from taking over the multiverse. Now who are you?
 * Boom: What's it to ya?
 * Red Fork: Who are you exactly, Warlord?
 * The Warlord: I asked you first. Tell me who you are or else!
 * Red Ruby: No!
 * Elementia's Daughter: What's this? You were the ones who sabotaged my plan to stop the Warlord? You're clearly his allies!
 * Starcade: What?
 * Gerald: We can explain!
 * Red Ruby: No way, that's insane!
 * The Warlord: (evil laugh)
 * Boom: Don't be stupid! We're trying to stop him!
 * Alice: Boom, manners!
 * Boom: Sorry...
 * Starry: Who is he anyway? I've never seen this demon before.
 * Elementia's Daughter: That's my mother's nemesis you're talking to, and by preventing me from performing a curse that would put him out of commission, I can now confirm that you're his allies! And for that, you shall be punished!
 * Takeshi: Wait, you don't understand...
 * Elementia's Daughter: No, I've understood plenty enough.
 * Green Shadow: What the?
 * Dark Green Shadow: What's going on? I thought we were about to be wiped out by Elementia's daughter back there!
 * Kyoji: I had to. Things were getting chaotic back in that timeline after we were spotted, and I'm not about to make it worse by having us go down on a fight.
 * Akasha: Well, one thing's for sure, curse that Grass Sword! He tricked us!
 * Boom: Alright, that's it. Now he deserves the beating of his life!
 * Electra: I agree, he's a jerk. Let's take him out.
 * Tsunami: We'll deal with him later. Now let's find those allies of yours, we have bigger problems to worry about.
 * Kyoji: Agreed. Let's go.
 * Pit: ...Why is everything getting dark?!
 * Boom: What's going on!?
 * Corolla: Hoo boy...
 * Captain Red Shell: This doesn't look good.
 * Green Shadow: We better hurry.
 * Grass Sword: Master, it's done. The Locked Room Gang has fallen for your trap.
 * Shogo: Why, thank you indeed. And because they have fallen for my trap, that means that the curse that Elementia's daughter has forced into me has been lifted. It's time my true form comes out of its shell.
 * The Warlord: YES! YES! YES! My body has finally returned, and I'm in full control of my own powers once again! In no time, the multiverse will finally be mine! But first, to get that dead weight out of the way.
 * The Warlord: Thank you, Grass Sword, you've been a great help.
 * Grass Sword: My pleasure. Now please, return my memories to me as promised.
 * The Warlord: Sure!
 * Grass Sword: Argh! What are you doing to me?
 * The Warlord: Do you think I'm that stupid to give you your memories back? We both know what will happen if I did that! And besides, what would you expect from someone like me? To keep his promise? Fat chance!
 * Grass Sword: You...you tricked me?
 * The Warlord: Yes, I tricked you. You're a great warrior, but it turns out the loss of your memories has made you more gullible than I thought.
 * Grass Sword: I'll get you for this! You'll pay for tricking me!
 * The Warlord: But since you were nice enough to help me succeed in getting my body back, I think I'll keep you around for something else.
 * Grass Sword: I won't be committed to helping a trickster like you!
 * The Warlord: I don't need your commitment, I just need...YOU.
 * Grass Sword: What?
 * The Warlord: Like I said, you're a great warrior. But now it's too late for you to back out after I told you that I won't be giving you your memories back. But since you're a great warrior yourself, you're going to be useful for the next phase of my master plan - eliminating the Locked Room Gang.
 * Grass Sword: No!
 * The Warlord: Too late. Bye, Itachi!
 * Grass Sword: Ready for battle.
 * The Warlord: Excellent! Itachi is now under my control, I can do whatever I want with him! (to the Grass Sword) Don't just sit there, Grass Sword! Get rid of the Locked Room Gang at once!
 * Grass Sword: Immediately.
 * The Warlord: And now that he's going to take care of the gang for me, I'm going to take care of some bigger matters at hand.
 * Portal Master: The Warlord?!
 * The Warlord: It's been a long time, Portal Master.
 * Portal Master: What are you doing here? Please don't kill me!
 * The Warlord: Why would I want something from someone as useless as you?
 * Portal Master: I don't know, but please don't kill me! I mean no harm!
 * The Warlord: I know that very well, but I don't care. I'm here to reclaim something that I've always been wanting to have my hands on after all this time.
 * The Warlord: Ah yes, Elementia placed this barrier around the Infinity Cube. I couldn't break it when I was cursed, but now that the curse has been lifted...
 * Portal Master: Aah! How did you break the dome?
 * The Warlord: Let's just say I have a few heroes to help me out here. I wouldn't have done this without them.
 * Portal Master: Uh...but I can't let you have that cube!
 * The Warlord: At last, it is mine! With this Infinity Cube, I can change the past, the present and the future across all timelines and dimensions in this multiverse! And speaking about the past, I think it's time I have some of the gang's past enemies to help me out!
 * Ink Smash: Where is this place?
 * Frosty: Is this heaven?
 * Fake Fork: I doubt this is heaven. And by the way, I'm not too sure that's where we'd be heading. If you ask me, we were brought back to life... again.
 * Frosty: So this explains why this appears real to me. Well, except my body, of course. (to the Warlord) Who the snowflakes are you?
 * The Warlord: Greetings, deceased ones. It is I, the Warlord. Former king of the Shadow Dimension. I'm sure you're wondering what you're doing in the middle of the Portal Dimension.
 * Ink Smash: Well then, give it to us straight. What is it?
 * The Warlord: The truth is, I thought about giving you all a second chance to live. You've all died way too early, and I think you deserve better. Provided that you help me, of course.
 * Frosty: What help do you need?
 * The Warlord: The multiverse out there looks pathetic. I plan to reshape it into a multiverse full of death and despair. Only then will it be perfectly balanced, as all things should be. Will you join me?
 * Fake Fork: Oh, so you want us to be your little pawns, just like Captain Dark Shell did to us before? No thanks, I'd rather remain dead than participate in something like that again.
 * The Warlord: Pawns? No, I meant allies! This is a second chance I'm giving you, you should take it!
 * Frosty: Nope!
 * Ink Smash: I rather conquer the world in my dreams than actually doing it for you.
 * The Warlord: Do you really want to be miserable as dead bodies again? Think about all the good we can have together, once the multiverse is in our hands!
 * Fake Fork: Captain Dark Shell offered the same deal, and yet we got nothing out of it. Why should we believe this will be any different?
 * The Warlord: Is that the dark crustacean everyone's been talking about? Who am I kidding, of course it is. But trust me, this is a deal that you'll get a kick out of.
