Story
DISCLAIMER: the story is a collaboration between me and Element Knight 375 of this wiki.

It has been eight years since Satan had been purged from the world, thus ending Jay's tournament. However, what some may not know is that Jay himself had competed, beating all of his opponents into submission. Jay is now stronger than ever, and he has lost touch with his humanity.

The alliance of Johnathan and Ultimai had crumbled due to the former questioning the latter's methods. Sure, Jay is now the most powerful man in the world, but he's still Johnathan's son and will not go as far as to kill him. So he walked out on Ultimai, leaving the hellish sorcerer to his own devices.

Meanwhile, there were full scale riots occurring throughout many countries in the world opposing Jay's rule. He had many of the rioters arrested, tortured, and/or executed (though not necessarily in that order). In the midst of it all, Johnathan (along with Leia) assembled a team consiting of many of the playable heroes of the series to take out this brutal dictator.

Ultimai, however, had also planned to take out Jay, so he struck a deal with a legendary immortal necromancer known only as the Puppetmaster, thus forming a new alliance. With a powerful gem that Ultimai had always had in his possesion, Puppetmaster used his power to assemble a being made out of pure cosmic energy. Ultimai had given this monstrosity, known as Ragirag, bits of his power for completion, as did Puppetmaster.

There are major distinctions to Johnathan's new resistance group and the "Hellish Duo". The latter has secret plans to destroy all of humanity so that the two sorcerers (and their creation) will rule the earth.

As expected, Jay learned of this treachery and is contemplating on how to dispose of both parties at once...
