==Story==
After stopping Lord Gargan, Maven and Circuit decide to go on a much deserved vacation, but comes short when they cross path with a infamous gang of warriors known as the Shadowhawks. It's leader, Dalin and the others makes a mockery to Maven and they escape. As Maven tries to get recontrol of the situation, one of the Shadowhawks looses grip of a weird contraption that somehow sends Maven, Cicuit, and the Shadowhawks to the Nexus Isles.
Seeing the Shadowhawks escaping, Maven and Circuit decides to investigate their arrival and the strange island, but discover more facts when they travel to the town of Onyx. It's townsfolk reveals to the duo information about the real reason why the Shadowhawks are here that this is the anicent homeworld of the Argons and the Shadowhawks's attempt to find the Lost Temple to revive the ancient clan. Seeing this as another adventure, Maven and Circuit begins their new quest not only to stop the Shadowhawks, but has to find the Nexus cystals that is the central ingridents to conjure them back.
==Gameplay==
The gameplay returns to the heavily, traditional platformer as Maven's goal again is to collect stars; each stars are different colors ranging to their amount (yellow=1, blue=5, green=2, red=10, purple=15, orange=20, white=25). The white stars are rare to find in the island homeworlds and the different levels. Getting 100 heals him and get him a new life; at the end of the game, the main amount to get a huge upgrade is about 50,000 stars. As well to collecting stars, Maven has to find the 100 Nexus crystals, which are spread everywhere and that is the second main goal Maven need to get.
===Nexus Crystals===
As stated previoulsy above, the 100 crystals are the main ingridents the Shadowhawks need to resurrect the acient clan, the Argons. Maven's second goal is to find these crystals before the Shadowhawks do. Like the Mod Stones the crystals are are spread everywhere this time on the Nexus Isles. To gain the crystals, Maven can find it throughout the homeworlds and the levels, recieved by the islanders by doing many tasks, winning mini-games, and defeating bosses.
