A young boy named Kai who is the son of the legendary warrior, PantherEye, has been chosen to become the protector of Retro City but after PantherEye's surprisingly death from a blast, his body pieces turn into 30 Demon Pearls, legendary items that can grant any wish, and have been scattered around the world.
