An anonymous message has gone out to fighters everywhere: there is hidden treasure buried in the ancient ruins of Saqqar, and the message includes the exact location. Drawn by greed, they descend into the ruins — and discover that the message was a trap. Draegon, an infamous deceiver, arranged everything: he wants to drain the fighters' life force, and he plans to do it by using illusions pulled from other worlds to make them fight and destroy each other. A fighting game built around the premise that the tournament was a lie from the start.
