Though he was eventually defeated, his essence was sealed inside the body of a newborn child. Now, Dark Schneider's former allies have reunited with a grim objective: to revive Anthrasax, the god of destruction who nearly wiped out humanity four centuries earlier, in order to create a world without conflict. Their plan requires breaking four seals spread across four different kingdoms. Metallicana, one of these kingdoms, is under attack by the forces of the Four Divine Kings because it holds one of the seals.
