With the Zero Point left exposed and unstable by severe damage done to The Bridge by Galactus, Loopers are able to escape the the captivity of the Imagined Order. To stop this from happening, Doctor Slone orders Agent Jones to re-enter the Island, stop potential escapees, and re-seal The Bridge. As part of this effort, Jones hires several individuals including the Mandalorian, a bounty hunter from another reality.

Around this same time, a Imperial Star Destroyer appears in the sky, stormtroopers are deployed across the Island, and several Imperial checkpoints are erected.

The Galactic Empire, this time bringing Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader in a Lambda-class shuttle, arrive to the Island for a second time, this time in search of Sith holocron, simply known to the residents of the Island as "the Relic." This leads to The Scientist, a key member of The Seven assisted by his artifical intelligence AMIE, believing that the Holocron's appearance alongside Relic of others realities may be the Zero Point trying to communicate. Docking Bays Vega, Alpha, Deimos, Eclipse, and Radar are constructed to accomodate Vader's continued visits to the Island. Vader is defeated by The Looper but in their battle, the Sith Holocron was thrown into the ocean.

Chapter 3: Season 4 - Paradise

Jones causes a second Big Bang which effectively resets the universe and births many new realities, but destroys the Zero Point. The Big Bang creates many new "galaxies," each containing its own set of universes. In one of these galaxies, another new Island by the name of Helios is born, with some of the former Island's peoples being placed there as refugees.

Summary of previous events

Agent Jones, The Looper and Hope travel to Reality: 783 and arrives on the island named Oninoshima in order to investigate the latter's connection to Pandora's Box and find a certain artifact. However, they were followed by a shard of the Zero Point, which has unleashed the Demon Warriors from the Spirit Realm. This leads to Jones, Hope and The Looper allying with Island natives Kendo and Jade. However, Kendo and Jade's had an older brother named Daigo, a mask maker who always followed a dangerous path for his ambitions but also to protect his siblings.

After the kidnapping of Jade by the demons and a lot of adventures of Jones' group and Daigo to save her, the Mask Maker found the way to save her and discovered a secret entity, the Demons' true leader a terrible dark force. After a confrontation with the Shogun X, the very powerful Demon Warriors commander, Daigo saved Jade but became obsessed with fiding and confronting the "Dark Presence". Etablishing a plan to enter the Spirit Realm, Daigo allied with The Baron Fletcher Kane, promising him power in exchange of his gold. Using the gold to repair a very old and very dangerous Mask of Power with Kintsugi technique, the duo headed to open a Spirit Realm Portal with the repaired mask, with Kane acting as Daigo's bodyguard for him to open the portal. However, once Kane was defeated, Daigo betrayed Kane and left, but was soon corrupted by the Dark Presence within the Spirit Realm, and transformed into a new demon. At the same time, the superweapon known as the Death Star appears in the skies of Oninoshima.

Episode I: Imperial Takeover

The Galactic Empire, led by Emperor Palpatine, appeared in the skies above the island in their Star Destroyers and launched a full-scale invasion on Oninoshima. With overwhelming combat power, they encountered no resistance and were able to build their bases in the captured territories (Demon's Dojo, which was completely destroyed and replaced by First Order Base, and the redesigned Shogun's Solitude).

The Empire has set up outposts of its own and the First Order all over the island. The Empire has also taken over radio stations, placing Death Troopers on guard duty. The Death Star has settled on the horizon, biding its time.

The Looper discovers the Rebels' Data Log Entries, where they mainly learn how some of the rebels are discouraged by seeing how outgunned they are, while another log talks about rumors concerning a major counteroffensive move against The Empire. Later, infiltrating Vader Samurai's Solitude, they discover Imperial Data Log Entries from its Stormtroopers, some of whom are alarmed by the number of people dancing on the island, others are worried about being stuck there, and one of them experienced and was terrified by their experience with one of the Rift-To-Go's. However, one of the logs mentions that Emperor Palpatine is interested in the "junk" of Oninoshima. The Stormtroopers don't really know why this is the case, but if they find anything interesting they will report it to the Emperor as soon as possible.

General Grievous is on the hunt for Jedi Lightsabers collected from those that have fallen in battle, as well as meeting up with other favorable collectors.

Episode II: The Pull of the Force

The Sith Lord Darth Maul, as well as the Jedi Master Mace Windu both emerge and intervene in the conflict. General Grievous opposed Windu and his troopers, while Maul's involvement remains unclear.

The Looper meets up with Leia Organa. She sought after a rebel loyalist to formulate a plan on how to figure out why The Empire has taken a detour to Oninoshima, so they team up discover the truth. Through The Resistance's team of spies, they know to search for a hidden Empire cache, which the Looper was able to find by hotwiring a cannon into a mountain. Viewing them as an honorary rebel, Leia becomes even more determined to find the brave and skilled allies that this Island has after hearing what the Empire has planned.

During this time, Chewbacca begins to attack various Imperial Outposts, alongside providing battle assistance and Wookiee Bowcasters to the Resistance.

Episode III: Mandalorian Rising

The Mandalorian Warriors expect honor, loyalty, and strength whether among themselves, but also from their allies. However, they suspect that their most recent allies and employer, the Galactic Empire, betrayed them and their agreement. Ironically, the mercenaries recruits another mercenary, The Looper, in an effort to find proof of this speculated betrayal. Infiltrating Outposts to dig into the Empire's data, The Looper found irrefutable proof of their betrayal, as well as a plan that the Mandalorians deemed completely dishonorable once informed by The Looper.

Finding an honorable trust within The Looper, they break their contract with the Empire and turn against them, therefore joining The Resistance. Along with their allies, they freed Outpost Enclave from the imperial occupation. However, the Empire has not said its last word, and the second-in-command of the is ready to retaliate against the rebels, elaborating plans involving Star Destroyers from his base Vader Samurai's Solitude.

Episode IV: Star Destroyer Bombardment

As per Vader's orders, a Star Destroyer was deployed to bombard The Resistance and their allies. In the meantime, Emperor Palpatine ordered the Death Star's superlaser to be charged to decimate the Oninoshima Island.

However, The Resistance has not said its last word and has every intention of retaliation. Leia Organa upgrades her Rebel Outpost with extra landing pads and rebel technology, with everybody preparing for the effort of infiltrating and sabotaging the Death Star itself from within, saving the Island from the Emperor's might for good.

Episode V: Death Star Sabotage

After a successful assault on Star Destroyers around the Death Star, Hope, Jones, The Looper and their resistance allies successfully infiltrate the Death Star. Some disguise themselves as Stormtroopers, while others pose as prisoners, allowing them to slip past Imperial forces undetected. Once inside, they sabotage the tractor beam systems and other critical technologies, significantly reducing the Death Star's threat level—provided their mission succeeds.

Meanwhile, Fishstick attempts to experiment with a Rift-To-Go in space—an untested maneuver. The device cause him to vanish from the group and makes it appear in space, outside. This sabotage effort serves as the core of the resistance's inside operation, while the Blue Squadron maintains communication with Jones and Hope to coordinate their bombing run.

After disabling the Death Star's laser cannons, to allow Blue Leader's Tie Fighter Squadron to do their move, the team is soon confronted by a pair of Stormtroopers. Jones tries to use Jedi mind tricks, but the attempt fails, forcing the group to neutralize the enemies with conventional weapons. This is followed by a trip to the Tie Fighter ships room, with a fight against the Imperial forces. Just as escape seems within reach, a TIE Fighter crashes into the bridge, separating Hope from the rest of the team.

Trapped in what appears to be a dead end, the group faces Emperor Palpatine himself. He effortlessly deflects their attacks, disarms them using the Force, and overwhelms them with Force Lightning, killing most of the members. With the team incapacitated and no options remaining, Jones prepares for the worst—until Hope returns just in time. She uses a Rift-To-Go to shield Jones from Palpatine's final strike. Though unsure if it would work, the gambit pays off: Jones, Hope and The Looper escapes moments before the Death Star explodes along with Fishstick and the few surviving members, falling toward the Island. However, the debris rains down on the Island, striking several places as well as the portal at Predator Peak.

Colliding with the Spirit Realm portal, the fragment triggered a powerful energy wave that hits the reality barrier surrounding Oninoshima and sends a reality wave across the Island, hitting a Battle Bus with people inside and granting superpowers. At the same time, The Looper crashed on Oninoshima, unconscious, after being hit by the powerful wave. Just like the people of the Battle Bus, they also awakened powers of an unknown nature. In the meantime, seizing the chaos, Mask Maker Daigo breaks free alongside the Demon Warriors and invades Oninoshima.
