Prologue

He had to protect her. He had to protect Light, his angel. They have to win the Universal Tournament to prove that not only Windia had strong warriors. Out of the thirty six contestants, only sixteen were left after the first stage. He had to make sure she survives. No one can hurt her. She is his angel and he would kill anyone who hurts her. Zakum had proven that when his angel was attacked by four Yellonde warriors. And now he had to protect her from the other contestants. His other two teammates knew what to do if he was away.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Zakum was angry. Of all his plans, this one had to fail. At the last second, one of the mages had cold feet and had ruined the incantation and now his spell is ruined. Cursing the cowardice of the mage, Zakum watched as monsters from Demethos were transported off the dying planet before killing off the coward mage.

"My Lord!" One of the mages cried, "We have to leave! Demethos is done for! The planet will explode!"

Although Zakum didn't reply, the rest of the mages got ready to teleport to their planet Scania.

"My Lord?"

"Hn." The mages took that as a confirmation. They surround their leader and began chanting the spell of teleportation. Just as the six disappeared, Demethos, the monster planet, blew up.

-------------------------------------------------------------

All around the universe, the nine planets were being overpopulated with monsters! What was even worst was that six of the planets were also being attacked and invaded by Yellondians from Yellonde, Kradians from Kradia, and Scanians from Scania. The war has started. Zakum is unleashing his plan, his plan to destroy Windia and the other planets that weren't with him. Zakum is unleashing his plan and no one can stop him.

For a hundred years, Zakum and his followers continued to spread evil and destruction throughout the universe. For a hundred of years, no one was able to stop the powerful warrior. All hope was lost, even if there are still others fighting the enemy. Still fighting for the peace they crave. There was no hope until a wise oracle prophesied the future.

When the prophecy was known and spread, everyone began searching for the chosen ones but no was ever found to have the power. And for a hundred years, the universe continued to fight.
