With their strength and mysterious powers, they fight to the death and the sole survivor is granted the ultimate prize--any wish. Eleven of the twelve fighters have gathered, and everyone awaits the final contender--Boar. She is strong, confident and a favorite to win the twelfth Zodiac War. However, this time, the rules have changed! The battle is limited to an abandoned city and all of the contestants are forced to ingest a deadly poison.
