Story[]

Kurino Sandra lived happily with his wife and son in a village in Sand Land, a rural area of Marvel Land. When the demon Zouna was freed from his seal, the volcano in Alsandra Mountain erupted, causing a tremor that made Sand Land sink in the ground, and the ashes of the volcano caused a plague. When Sandra's son became ill, he decides to search for a cure and talked with the elder Sandra living in the Haunted Forest near the village, which tells him about a legendary "Dream Medicine" (Sun Cure in Europe) that can cure any decease. To obtain it, Sandra must obtain seven light crystals (光のかけら Hikari no Kakera?) and take them to the Endless Desert, the elder having one of crystals. Sandra manages to leave the village and befriends Zul and Andy, along other persons, who help him in his quest.
