After Cyrus's death a question remains, what happened after everyone left? Null hasn't been seen for months, in that time Sasha hasn't given up on looking for Cyrus, and her hope reemerges when she comes upon a mysterious figure. With Mako at the lead and his ideas, especially his idea to recruit the figure and if not track it, Sasha gains knowledge about her family, and about her past.

The battle of Cole and Jade has ended. Many years have passed and it's time for the mantle to be passed down. But when Maddie dies due to an unknown cause, all the members except Cole and Flore are torn apart, yet their memory remains. Cyrus is an ordinary elemental attending his father's academy created a year after his mother's death. Many things have changed between him and his siblings yet he likes to keep them busy, even if the most popular and powerful is his elementless brother Alejandro, who has no more joy in his heart. After finding what his brother has been up to, Cyrus wants to challenge Alejandro but knows he will be humiliated. Sasha is new to the academy and to her own element, the element of ice. When she finds herself on bad terms with an elemental, Lilly, and an elementless or null, Cassidy, she isn't afraid to rival them in the only way she can, going for the top. With these events happening there is not much Lilly can do. She can't go down her father's path, her mother is no longer talking to her, and she won't speak up to Cyrus and tell him the truth. She finally finds a purpose when she becomes one of Sasha's rivals. But even this can't keep her busy. When the darkness finally takes one of his children over, Cole will have to make a choice, pass down the armor to the eldest, or the rightful son.
