When a dangerous mission goes wrong, the ninja make a split-second decision-open a portal, stop the threat, and get out.
But not everyone makes it back.
Kai is left behind.
On the other side, time doesn't work the same. What feels like hours to the team becomes years for him. Years of surviving alone. Years of fighting. Years of becoming someone harder... colder... and far more dangerous than they remember.
So when the portal finally reopens and Kai returns, he isn't the same person who was lost. His body is marked with scars, his instincts sharper, his silence heavier. He fights like he has nothing left to lose-because, in his mind, he already lost everything.
And worst of all... he doesn't trust them anymore.
Because when it mattered most-
they left him behind.
Now the ninja face a new mission: not saving the world... but saving Kai from the version of himself that the other world created.
