The Story of Dark Rift :
----------------------------------
  
   The legend of Dark Rift centers on the powerful Master Key,an ancient 
artifact that was forged
to lock away all the forces and secrets of the cosmos. The Key was then divided 
into Prime
Elements,which were sent tp separate circles of reality for safekeeping. Two 
tyrants hold pieces
of the Key : Sonork Nezom,who controls the Core Prime Element,and the Lord Demon 
Demitron,
who has the Dark Prime Element imbedded in his head. Offering his element as a 
prize, Sonork
is holding a fighting tournament to lure the unknown holder of the Light Prime 
Element into his dimension. Sonork is so certain that he can defeat this mystery 
fighter that he's already plotting to use the two pieces of the Key to destroy 
Demitron and take control of the cosmos.
