About a thousand years ago, in a place called Amano City, chosen individuals , known as guardians, were tasked to protect the zodiac bands, from getting in the hands of evil. But terror struck, when an individual named Zaiax, attacked the guardians and nearly killed them to take their bands. As a result, they sacrifice their life force to fuse themselves with the bands and also to disperse them across the city so it is impossible to found or until the next guardians are chosen along with releasing huge burst that presumably killed Zaiax as he faded into non-existence.

Now in the year of Amano City 2020, the area has been in peace after that unfortunate altercation.

Scene: Strike House. Max is having breakfast with his father, Ryan.

A young man, Max Strike, is in the kitchen with his father having breakfast.

" So how is school son? " said Ryan.

" Good I guess. I'm tired of lectures. You attended there. Know when we are going to do some hands-on stuff. " said Max.

" When your professors feel that you are ready." said Ryan.

"But dad. I feel like I am ready. I practiced tons. " said Max.

" I know how you feel. Son. Felt the same way. And got tired of those lectures. You have to pull through. " said Ryan.

" Man I wish I can be chosen as a guardian. That way I don't have to worry about school and such. And focus on saving the world. " said Max.

" Man. I don't even know if you are ready to be a guardian considering your lifestyle. When you are going to stop putting your heads in the clouds and just stay to reality. " said Ryan.

" Oh dad. I already get that lecture from Deidre most of the time. Man you too? " said Max.

" I'm just worried about you. I got a call from the Dean. Your grades have been slipping." said Ryan.

" May I ask who ratted me out. Bet it was Deidre to her dad. Think she is all that cause she is the daughter of the dean." said Max.

" Really Max. Saying that to your best friend. You have known each other for years. I am disappointed in you. And also, until you get your grades up. No more storytelling days." said Ryan.

Max gasps.

" What? You're not serious. Dad." said Max.

" I am. Now finish up breakfast. I got to go to work. And you to school. " said Ryan.

" Okay dad." said Max with a unpleasant look on his face.

Ryan finishes up and then grabs his briefcase along with his keys and heads out. Max does the same thing grabbing his backpack and house keys teleporting out in a flash.

Scene: Magix University. Max teleports in. His best friends, Kane and Deidre are standing at the entrance.

" Hey guys." said Max.

" Sup. " said Kane.

" Finally you're here. Any later and we could have been late for our first class." said Kyra.

" Sorry. I lost focus while teleportation and landed somewhere else. And also got an argument with my dad." said Max.

" About what? " asked Kane.

" Ask Kyra. She would probably know why." said Max turning his face around in anger.

"What do you mean by that?" said Kyra.

" You know what I mean. Tattletale. " said Max. He then storms off through the doors.

" Wonder what is with him? Probably the argument with his dad rattled him up. His dad and him are really close. " said Kyra.

"Yea maybe. Let's go then. Or we're going to miss our first class. " said Kane.

" Yea. " said Kyra.

The two of them then walk through the doors also.

Scene: Empty area in Amano City. A portal opens that is filled with extreme darkness in the inside. Zaiax comes out with three individuals in armor and twenty Void Knights, beings that look like complete darkness, but have knight-like armor on them equipped with a lance and shield.

"Finally. I have returned with a vengeance. And a goal to get those zodiac bands for myself." said Zaiax.

" And we are at your service. Lord Zaiax." said Zanos.

"We shall help in your plan cause it goes with our goals too." said Petra.

" And that is to spread darkness and the power of evil throughout the city. And also thank you for helping release us from the dark void." said Killian.

"I should thank you all for welcoming me inside the dark void. The energy helped revived me." said Zaiax.

"Now what my lord." said Zanos.

" Now we begin our plans." said Zaiax.

Zaiax grins evilly. Zanos, Petra, and Killian stand by his side along with the Void Knights waiting for his next move.

Scene: Strike House. Max's Bedroom. A beam of red light shoots in and a zodiac band appears onto the bed. The crystal on it reveals a rams symbol.
