== Story ==
Dr. Marox of the Roskar Association was creating his own "Esper destroyer" so that they could protect Flare City from any future Esper "threats." However, the majority of the Roskar Association, including the head scientist Jessica, turned down his creation and stripped him of his duties out of fear that it could lead to something similar to the Wyvern Syndicate incident. Enraged, the bioweapon escaped from the lab and took control of Dr. Marox’s body, and after merging with his darkest desires it resulted in spawning a powerful entity known as the Megalizard. Witnessing this, the Espers of Flare City, along with some newcomers, unite to combat this new threat and save the city once again.
