Storyline & Tournament Rules
----------------------------

IDAHURCA, a being capable of existing in multiple dimensions at one
time, threatens the world of I-PRASERU (Happy Island). Though the
cost was heavy, the inhabitants of I-PRASERU were able to temporarily
confine IHADURCA in EVIL ZONE.

However, the danger is not over. IHADURCA must be destroyed before
she emerges from EVIL ZONE. To do this, I-PRASERU called upon the
mighty warriors from other worlds.

A tournament is held to select the strongest warrior to face
IHADURCA. These warriors have many reasons for wanting to fight
IHADURCA; but right now, they are warriors.
