Brahne the Queen of Alexandria is using highly advanced magical weapons to menace neighboring kingdoms. Dispatched by a King of a threatened nation, an intrepid group of bandits sets out to stop the Queen from achieving her goal of world domination, only to find that she is the cover for a far more sinister plot. A powerful sorceror named Kuja is the one responsible for supplying Brahne with the Magical Weapons. What are his goals? Why did he join forces with Brahne? Where do his Weapons come from? For the sake of mankind, these answers must be uncovered before Kuja can execute his plan for world destruction.
