## Story

*Dr. Shiro had wanted a world where both Robots and Humans were able to co-exist with each other creating a better future, in which he made three known robots. Emphasis - the Crimson Robot, Ofa - the Cleaning Robot, and Gamma - the Superior Robot. The trio had worked together with Gamma being the leader of the trio as he had greater power and greater work than the previous two. However, one day after seemingly getting too smart for his programming, Gamma snapped and turned his back against humans favoring the machines to triumph over all organism life. As he set his goal out to destroy all humans, Emphasis stepped up as the official hero to stop Gamma's plan from taking over the world.*
