## Plot

### From the manual:

*The year is 2015. The planet **Sierra** is gripped by fear and is the midst of a deep crisis.*

*The evil terrorist group, **Scarlet**, are still a commanding force. They have the power to prevent humans traveling to and from the outside universe.*

*Scarlet's members consists of artificial beings created using super genetic engineering by the **Sierrans**. **Scarlet** is an underground organization that has been secretly formed with the express intention of destroying the human race.*

*In addition to their high level of intelligence and awesome strength, **Scarlet's** members are equipped with parasitic abilities that allow them to live within human beings, animals and machinery. Equipped with these abilities they conquered the **Sierrans** and stand on the brink of obtaining supremacy over **Sierra**.*

***Epsilon-Eagle**, the boss of the **Scarlet** group, is the intended target of an assassination attempt being planned by Sierrans. A special combat group capable of using super powers, was secretly dispatched to carry out this mission.*

***Scarlet** unleashed a sudden attack on **Epsilon** with their super powers. **Epsilon**, seriously damaged by the attack, was thrown into the time-space continuum which had been activated by **Scarlet's**use of super powers.*

*With **Epsilon** seemingly gone forever, **XI-Tiger** took control of **Scarlet** admist the resulting confusion. With **XI-Tiger** now in charge, the terrorist attacks against **Sierrans** became more frequent and brutal.*

*With this increase in attacks towards **Sierrans**, **XI-Tiger** soon became unpopular amongst **Scarlet** members. As a result, the demands for the re-instatement of **Epsilon** as the leader of the **Scarlet** group became stronger.*

*Having been isolated from the other **Scarlet** members, **XI-Tiger** decided to assasinate **Epsilon**. In an attempt to activate the time-space continuum, **XI-Tiger** ordered an attack on the **Sierrans'** research laboratory, where children with super powers were being held hostage having been kidnapped.*

***XI-Tiger** sensed something was wrong. He could feel the presence of **Epsilon** in one of the boys. However, he was unsure because he couldn't pinpoint the evil from **Epslion**, who had entered the boy's body and was now living as a parasite inside of him. In an attempt to get **Epsilon** out of the boy's body, **XI-Tiger** took a young girl hostage and threatened to kill her unless **Epsilon** released the boy.*

*The boy flew into a rage and morphed his body into **Epsilon**.*

*Suddenly, where the boy had been standing, now stood a 'birdman' with steel wings.*

***Epsilon's** mind was in conflict as a battle between it's real nature, human justice and the foreign force raged on.*

***XI-Tiger** could sense an unknown power within **Epsilon**, and fled immediately having killed the girl first.*

*'**XI-Tiger**, I will never let you get away.' **Epsilon** uttered.*

***Epsilon** is not the only creature of his kind. Somehow another 'birdman' with a similar body had been created. Although their bodies were identical, their minds were very different. Unknown to everybody, the mind of the mysterious new 'birdman' was filled with an evil ambition.*

*He also flew off in search of XI-Tiger............*
