After making their way past giant eyeballs in the perilous dungeon, Dark Schneider and Princess Sheila face the first of the Four Divine Kings of the Rebel Armies. Meanwhile, news of Dark Schneider's resurrection reaches the bloodthirsty sorceress who was once his lover.

Leaving the besieged kingdom of Metallicana, Dark Schneider goes traveling with only Lars the dragon for company, but finds himself under constant attack as his former lover Arshes Nei, now one of the leaders of the Dark Army of Chaos, sends her strongest underlings to kill him. When Dark Schneider suddenly reverts to his wimpy alter ego Lucien, his teenage stepsister Yoko may be the only one who can save him.

Wielding the legendary Sword of Lightning and powerful elemental magic, Arshes Nei and her armies are poised to devastate the kingdom of Metallicana, and only D.S. stands in her way.
