Blue Dragon

Shu and four of his friends encounter two travellers in their quiet village who explain that they are searching for the seven legendary warriors who once lived in the area. They are needed to help defend the land against an impending threat. Later, Shu finds the village under attack by the flying warships and army of Nene. Just when the battle appears lost, the two travelers intervene and begin battling the Nene soldiers. Things get very strange when they start using giant beast-monsters that appear to grow from their shadows. Shu joins in to try to save his friends and just when it seems that he will lose - a giant blue dragon appears - surging up from his shadow. Then he hears one of the travelers speak about how "the legendary Blue Dragon has finally appeared!"
