Ever since the beginning of the Earth's creation, the Earth was split in two. (Not physically, but socially) On one side was where the monsters and elementists existed. On the other was where regular humans existed. Over time, humans, monsters and elementists learned how to co-exist. In ancient texts and scrolls, there was always a reference to a place call the Lost Valley. Apparently, this "Lost Valley" was a valley where both sides came for knowledge and goods. When all of the races/species learned to co-exist, this valley was forgotten and lost. (Hence the name) In present day 2045, a man with the ability to absorb others monster and elemental powers announces his plan to wipe out the human race completely. This man's plan was to wipe out the inferior race, uncover the secrets of the Lost Valley, and become the king of the entire world.

In order to defeat the man with absorbing powers, Ninja and Lark had set out on the impossible quest, to gather the keys and gain the secrets and power which lay buried within the Lost Valley. The first "key" is a girl named Marcy, who lives in Italy. Let the search for the Lost Valley begin!!
