Plot[]
After many years not knowing his powers, Douglas finally comes to terms with them. Although he doesn't really want them, it was a good time to get them as his friend, Molliy, is infected and kidnapped by a monster. So, along with his two brother: Grim and Pheros, they go in search of Molliy. A few minutes later, they run into Darkness, who tells them that he will rule the world with his Master and Shadow Beings and then dissolves into the air. Later, they find a Shadow Being in the main street and prepare to attack. But, the Shadow Being doesn't want to attack and informs them that he has somehow defied the orders of Darkness. He later tells them that to rescue their friend, they need to find the three pieces of the Moonlit Sphere. They decide to head out and find them.
