The peaceful lives of Miss Kobayashi, Tohru, Kanna, and Iruru are shattered when Kanna's father, Kamun Kamui, leader of the Forces of Chaos , arrives and forces her to return to the Dragon World to right a wrong from the past. With a war brewing between Chaos and Harmony , Kanna must find a way to unite the two worlds, but is torn between her loyalty to her friends and her father's demands. Miss Kobayashi, however, refuses to let her go and tries to mend Kanna and Kamui's broken bond. As the dragons clash, Iruru discovers a hidden force manipulating the war. Can they stop the war before it consumes both worlds?
