==The Circle of Life==
<div style="text-align: center;">
{{Master Guide table
| image1   = Naturia Sacred Tree Art.png

| name1    = "[[Naturia Sacred Tree]]"

| fulldesc = true
| desc     = All life rooted on that planet has its origins in the "Naturia Sacred Tree". The energy radiating from the "Sacred Tree" spreads throughout the earth, and is granted new life as it takes the form of any and all newborn creatures who draw breath upon the land. When these creatures die, this energy goes through the earth back into the Tree. This is the system of reincarnation regulating the flow of life and death in the world. Essentially, the "Sacred Tree" is the combination of 2 different types of reincarnation systems, known as "sefiroth" and "qliphoth". 
}}

The Executives of these systems were :

{{Master Guide table
| image1   = Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth Art.png
| image2   = Tierra, Source of Destruction Art.png

| name1    = "[[Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth]]"
| name2    = "[[Tierra, Source of Destruction]]"

| fulldesc = true
| desc     = "Sophia" regulated the power of "''creation''" while "Tierra" regulated the power of "''destruction''".<br />However, in the Battle of Gods in times immemorial, "Sophia" managed to overcome "Tierra", obtaining sole directive over the "Sacred Tree’s" system.<br />Using the power of "creation" and "destruction", the victorious "Sophia" accessed the "Sacred Tree", creating a "Core" to seal "Tierra" within the "Sacred Tree". To make sure that the "Core" could never be used again, "Sophia" broke it into 10 pieces, and scattered them within the organisms in a land far from the "Sacred Tree". Those pieces later became the "Pyroxene" of the "Gem-Knights". With "Tierra" sealed, the only way for organisms on the surface to prosper was through "Sophia".
}}

Even so, "Tierra" had no thoughts of giving up trying to seize control of the world. After spending unmeasurable aeons interfering with the life energy being recycled back into the "sefiroth", and turning it into life energy for the "qliphoth", "Tierra" slowly regained some of its power.


Seizing the chance as "Sophia" fell in battle against the surface lifeforms, "Tierra" began planning its advent on the surface world once more. The first step would be reactivating the "qliphoth", while the second step would be regaining the 10 "Cores" to remove the seal suppressing its powers. The final part of the plan would have "Tierra" obtain the powers of "creation" and "destruction", and complete its revival. And so, this former deity began to put its dark machinations into motion.

===Premonition of the Planetquake===
{{Master Guide table
| image1   = Constellar Sombre Art.png
| image2   = Evilswarm Kerykeion art.png

| name1    = "[[Constellar Sombre]]"
| name2    = "[[Evilswarm Kerykeion]]"

| fulldesc = true
| desc     = "Constellar Sombre" and "Evilswarm Kerykeion", who had obtained the power of "Sophia" from the previous Great War, noticed that their powers of "creation" and "destruction" seemed to have been interfered with by an outside source. Thinking that this might be a sign of "Sophia’s" revival, in the process of searching for the truth behind this development, they descended upon the "Naturia Sacred Tree", where for the first time in decades, they met up with friends from their past.
}}

"Naturia Leodrake" and "Steelswarm Roach", as well as the "Ritual Beast" and the "Nekroz", who had protected this land since the previous war, had all noticed the same strange disturbance, and gathered once more as comrades in arms.

{{Master Guide table
| image1   = NaturiaLeodrake-TF04-JP-VG.png
| image2   = SteelswarmRoach-TF06-JP-VG.png

| name1    = "[[Naturia Leodrake]]"
| name2    = "[[Steelswarm Roach]]"

| fulldesc = true
| desc     =  Firmly believing that the disturbance was related to the "Sacred Tree", "Sombre" and "Kerykeion" gave up parts of their power of "creation" and "destruction" to each of "Leodrake" and "Roach", powering them up to to protect the Tree and prevent future threats.
}}

==Yang Zing, Spirit Dragons of the Land==
<div style="text-align: center;">
Parting with "Kerykeion" and the others at the "Sacred Tree", "Sombre" scoured the land in search of powerful leylines where life energy overflow, in order to awaken the power needed to protect the planet from a new threat.
{{Master Guide table
| image1   = Gem-Knight Master Diamond art.png
| image2   = Gem-Knight Seraphinite art.png

| bigimage = Yang Zing Creation art.png
| bigimagename = "[[Yang Zing Creation]]"

| fulldesc = true
| desc     = Using her power of "creation", "Sombre" used the 7 "''Pyroxene''" passed down from "[[Gem-Knight Master Diamond]]", and the eighth "Pyroxene" from her previous incarnation "[[Gem-Knight Seraphinite]]", to create 8 "[[Yang Zing]]s". 
}}

"Sombre’s" true goal was to break the seal on the "Naturia Sacred Tree" and gain access to the "sefiroth" system – by using the life energy of "Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth" coursing through the land to materialize the "Yang Zings". The "sefiroth", being the life system of "Sophia" itself, would allow "Sombre" to prevent "Sophia’s" revival, should she gain control of it. But in order to do so, "Sombre" required a total of 9 "Yang Zing" materializations.

{{Master Guide table
| image1   = Yang Zing Prana-art.png

| name1    = "[[Yang Zing Prana]]"

| fulldesc = true
| desc     = So after giving birth to 8 "Yang Zings", "Sombre" resumed her travels around the world, searching for a new leyline suitable to materialize into the ninth and final "Yang Zing".

==Awakening of the Shaddolls==
<div style="text-align: center;">
Meanwhile, "Evilswarm Kerykeion" heard a rumor that the hero of the last war, "Gem-Knight Master Diamond", had revived – but had also attacked several individuals. He headed towards the Mist Valley Great Marshlands to find out the truth, but what he witnessed there was his former comrade, nearly unrecognizable, in the form of "Cairngorgon, Antiluminescent Knight". 
{{Master Guide table
| image1   = Cairngorgon art.png
| image2   = Shaddoll core art.png

| name1   = "[[Cairngorgon]]"
| name2   = "[[Shaddoll Core]]"
| fulldesc = true
| desc     = "Cairngorgon" wielded the horrifying power of absorbing souls from the living, leaving their bodies as empty shells. Hoping to end this situation before any more victims were created, "Kerykeion" bravely fought on alone. However, he was unable to bring himself to use his full power against a former comrade and friend, and was ultimately absorbed by "Cairngorgon". "Kerykeion’s" power of "destruction" strengthened "Cairngorgon" tremendously, mutating it into "Shaddoll Core". "Shaddoll Core" then gave birth to those who lost their lives in the previous war – the "[[Shaddolls]]".
}}

{{Master Guide table
| image1   = ShaddollHedgehog-CA.png
| image2   = El Shaddoll Construct Art.png
| image3   = ShaddollFalco-CA.png

| name1    = "[[Shaddoll Hedgehog]]"
| name2    = "[[El Shaddoll Construct]]"
| name3    = "[[Shaddoll Falco]]"

| fulldesc = true
| desc     = The true form of the "Shaddoll" are those who have lost their lives and were supposed to return to the "Sacred Tree" to be reborn again through "Sophia’s" life energy. However, they were trapped by "Tierra" while inside the "Sacred Tree", and imprisoned inside the vacuum tubes of the "Infernoids". Over time, their life energy began to change from those of "Sophia’s", to those of "Tierra’s", which caused the "Sacred Tree’s" system to treat them as bugs, spawning them to the world with only their bodies. In this form, they barely have a consciousness, but instead hold an innate desire to return to the "Sacred Tree" so that they can be reborn correctly. 
}}

And so the "Shaddoll" army began their advance in the direction of the Tree. Sensing "Kerykeion’s" plight with her power of "creation", "Sombre" led the "Yang Zings" to the Mist Valley Great Marshlands to stop the "Shaddolls’" assault.

{{Master Guide table
| image1   = Sinister Shadow Games Art.png
| name1    = "[[Sinister Shadow Games]]"

| desc     =  Although the "Yang Zings" fought valiantly, "Suanni, Fire of the Yang Zing" and "Pulao, Wind of the Yang Zing" both had their shadows stolen and were turned into "Shaddolls". 
}}

{| style="width: 100%;"

{{Master Guide table

|}

The remaining "Yang Zings" stood their ground, but were quickly driven into a corner by the "Shaddolls".

| fulldesc = true
| desc     =  In the hour of the Yang Zing’s danger, "[[Chiwen, Light of the Yang Zing]]", a new "Yang Zing", came falling out of the sky. "Chiwen" was materialized by "Sombre" after she gathered up all the star energy still drifting in the heavens; as such, it has a different origin than the other "Yang Zing". Due to this, "Chiwen" holds the power of "''connecting the stars''", the very same power wielded by the "[[Constellar]]" during the previous war.
}}

{{Master Guide table
| image1   = Yang Zing Unleashed Art.jpg
| image2   = Baxia, Brightness of the Yang Zing Art.png

| name1    = "[[Yang Zing Unleashed]]"
| name2    = "[[Baxia, Brightness of the Yang Zing]]"

| desc     =  By unleashing this power, it gathered up and combined with all the "Yang Zing" – including those who have already been turned into "Shaddolls" – evolving into "Baxia, Brightness of the Yang Zing".
}}
</div>

==Planet-Protecting Warriors==
<div style="text-align: center;">
As if in a resonance with the birth of the giant divine dragon "Baxia, Brightness of the Yang Zing" by "Chiwen, Light of the Yang Zing’s" power, warriors of light descended from the brilliant stars in the sky.

{{Master Guide table
| image1   = Satellarknight Skybridge Art.png
| name1    = "[[Satellarknight Skybridge]]"

| fulldesc = true
| desc     = They are the descendents of the "Constellar", the brigade of saviors that fought to save this planet in the previous great war. "[[Constellar Sombre]]", being herself the result of the fusion of the 12 "Constellar" heroes, released the power of the 12 constellations, the "''12 constellation rings"'', from herself, and returned them to the new warriors. The warriors of light, upon regaining that power, turned them into the "Tellarings", and transformed themselves into the "[[Tellarknight]]", the protectors of the planet. With their new power, the warriors headed toward the battlefield to confront the "Shaddoll".
}}

===Warriors of Light===
"Stellarknight Deneb", "Stellarknight Altair", "Stellarknight Vega", "Stellarknight Alsahm", "Stellarknight Unukalhai"

===Starlight Shining Upon the Shadow Prison===
The battle between the "Tellarknight" and "Yang Zing" alliance and the "Shaddolls" were fierce, and in the midst of the turmoil, all eight "Yang Zing" were turned into "Shaddolls".

{{Master Guide table
| image1   = Satellarknight Unukalhai Art.jpg
| name1    = "[[Satellarknight Unukalhai]]"

| fulldesc = true
| desc     = In the midst of this, "Satellarknight Unukalhai", who wields the power of the constellation [[wikipedia:Serpens|Serpens]], suddenly sensed that there was a sliver of power within the shadows captured by the "Shaddoll" that was similar to his own. That was none other than the power of the constellation [[wikipedia:Ophiuchus|Ophiuchus]], wielded by "Evilswarm Kerykeion" who was absorbed by "Shaddoll Core".
}}

{{Master Guide table
| image1   = Curse of the Shadow Prison Art.png
| image2   = Shaddoll Squamata Art.png

| fulldesc = true
| desc     = "Unukalhai" tried to free "Kerykeion", but in the overwhelming power of the "Shaddoll", he ended up getting restrained instead. Sensing "Unukalhai's" preparedness to die just to free him from deep within the shadow, "Kerykeion" also tried to fight back. However, with his power of "destruction" suppressed by "Shaddoll Core", the struggle was to no avail, and "Unukalhai" was captured by the shadow, and turned into "Shaddoll Squamata".
}}

{{Master Guide table
| image1   = Satellarknight Altair Art.png
| image2   = Satellarknight Deneb Art.png

| name2    = "[[Satellarknight Deneb]]"
| name3    = "[[Satellarknight Vega|Vega]]"

| fulldesc = true
| desc     = At that moment, "Kerykeion" used the shadow of his staff from the shadow, entrusting it to the "Tellarknights" still fighting outside. Wielding the staff's power, "Satellarknight Deneb" amplifies the power of "connecting the stars" that the "Tellarknights" possessed, and evolved into "Stellarknight Delteros" together with "Satellarknight Altair" and "Satellarknight Vega".
}}

{{Master Guide table

| name1    = "[[Stellarnova Wave]]"

| desc     = Following the "Stellarnova Alpha", "Delteros" called "Tellarknights" down from the sky.

===Zing Fallen to the Shadows===
{{Master Guide table
| image1   = Bixi, Water of the Yang Zing Art.jpg
| image2   = Shaddoll Squamata Art.png
| bigimage = Jiaotu, Darkness of the yang zing Art.jpg

| fulldesc = true
| desc     = The greatest error the "Tellarknights" made was allowing the "Shaddolls" to obtain the power of "''connecting the stars''" themselves, by absorbing "Satellarknight Unukalhai". The "Shaddoll" army used that power to fuse "Shaddoll Squamata" and "Bixi, Water of the Yang Zing", which had also been turned into a "Shaddoll", into "Jiaotu, Darkness of the Yang Zing", a dark "Yang Zing" with the power of "connecting the stars".
}}

{{Master Guide table

| image2   = Yazi, Evil of the Yang Zing Art.png

| name1    = "[[Yang Zing Brutality]]"
| name2    = "[[Yazi, Evil of the Yang Zing]]"

| desc     = They then further fused "Jiaotu" with the "Shaddoll"-fied "[[Taotie, Shadow of the Yang Zing]]", changing them into "Yazi, Evil of the Yang Zing".
}}

At this point, the war which started with the "Tellarknight"-"Yang Zing" alliance against the "Shaddolls" had become one of the "Tellarknights" facing both the "Yang Zings" and "Shaddolls", with no way out in sight.

===Watchers of the Tree of Life===
After obtaining the power of "connecting the stars", the "Shaddolls" gathered up the 8 "Pyroxenes" inside of the 8 "Yang Zings" and the "Pyroxene" belonging to "Gem-Knight Lapis" resting inside of "El Shaddoll Construct" to the "Antiluminescent Stone" belonging to "Cairngorgon" inside "Shaddoll Core".

{{Master Guide table
| image1   = El Shaddoll Grysta.png

| name1    = "[[El Shaddoll Grysta]]"

| fulldesc = true
| desc     = Obtaining the power of 10 "Cores", "Shaddoll Core" evolved into "El Shaddoll Grysta". Following the will of the scheming "Tierra, Source of Destruction" to revive itself, "Grysta" began attacking the "Naturia Sacred Tree".
}}

===Soul-Connecting Tri-Stars===
Although the situation was starting to improve for the "Tellarknights" with "Delteros" at front and center, the attack of the "Shaddolls," which leave every life form around them turned into more "Shaddolls," proved to be a desperate battle.

{{Master Guide table
| image1   = Satellarknight Sirius Art.jpg

| name2    = "[[Satellarknight Procyon|Procyon]]"
| name3    = "[[Satellarknight Betelgeuse|Betelgeuse]]"

| fulldesc = true
| desc     = In the end, "Sirius" was also turned into a "Shaddoll". To prevent "Sirius’s" body from being used like how "Unukalhai" was used for "Shaddoll Squamata", "Betelgeuse" used his "Tellaring" to amplify his power of "connecting the stars" and fused the two of them plus "Procyon" together to form "Stellarknight Triver".
}}
{{Master Guide table
| image1   = Stellarknight Triverr.png

| name1    = "[[Stellarknight Triverr]]"

| desc     = 
}}
</div>

==Gathering of the Planet’s Guardians==
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even with the power of 2 "Stellarknights" in "Delteros" and "Triver", they were no match for "El Shaddoll Construct" and "El Shaddoll Grysta", and were forced to retreated from the Mist Valley Great Marshlands.

{{Master Guide table
| image1   = Ritual Beast Tamer Elder Art.png
| image2   = Great Sorcerer of the Nekroz Art.png

| desc     = Borrowing the powers of "Evilswarm Exciton Knight", "Leo, the Keeper of the Sacred Tree", "Ritual Beast", and "Nekroz", they set up a barrier around the "Sacred Tree" as the final line of defense.
}}

===Final Battle at the Sacred Tree===
The "Tellarknight"-"Ritual Beast"-"Nekroz" Alliance and the "Shaddoll" finally clashed at the barrier of the "Sacred Tree". The allied forces fought valiantly as both individuals and as a unit, successfully impeding the advance of the "Shaddoll" forces. With the resistance of the allied forces, "Tierra" was unable to breach the barrier, and began a new plan.
{{Master Guide table
| image1   = El Shaddoll Wendigo Art.png

| name1    = "[[El Shaddoll Wendigo]]"

| desc     = It sought to capture one with great spiritual powers and turn that person into a "Shaddoll". And so "Ritual Beast Tamer Wen" was targeted by the "Shaddoll" and turned into "El Shaddoll Wendigo".
}}

===One with Great Spiritual Powers – Ritual Beast Tamer Wen===
{{Master Guide table

| name3    = "[[Pilica, Descendant of Gusto]]"

| desc     = "Ritual Beast Tamer Wen" was born with great spiritual powers, but this caused fear in those around her, and she was eventually abandoned by her parents. She was picked up by "Elder of the Ritual Beast Tamers", and raised like sisters with "Pilica, Descendant of Gusto". She usually has her eyes closed in order to suppress her great spiritual powers which she greatly detests.
}}

===One with the Aura of God – Winda, Priestess of Gusto===
{{Master Guide table
| image1   = WindaPriestessofGusto-TF05-JP-VG.png

| name1    = "[[Winda, Priestess of Gusto]]"

| fulldesc = true
| desc     = "El Shaddoll Winda" was "Winda, Priestess of Gusto" in life. She died when her body was assaulted by "Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth’s" divine aura during its revival due to her proximity to the event. A very crucial part to "Tierra’s" revival is that of "Sophia’s" power, which was needed to gain access to the "Sacred Tree", so to compensate for this "Tierra" purposefully revived her.
}}

===Qliphort Boot-Up===
{{Master Guide table

| name2    = "[[Qlimate Change]]"

| desc     = Underground, hidden beneath the "Sacred Tree", lies the "Qliphort" and the "qliphoth" system which seals "Tierra". With "Winda’s" contact, the seal had been broken, and the "Sacred Tree" ripped itself from the ground, floating into the sky.
}}

In the face of such an overwhelming event, even with the "Tellarknights" and those gathered at the "Sacred Tree" present, nothing could be done to stop it. At the same time, a change was also happening at the remains of the supposedly defeated "Grysta".

The "Qliphort" were originally entities that maintained the balance of the "Sacred Tree’s" "qliphoth" life system, and to them, the "Shaddoll", which were born from the "sefiroth" system, but who now has their souls in the "qliphoth" system, while still maintaining their bodies from the "sefiroth" system to move about, are nothing but alien elements that must be eliminated, as they are life that should not be and an existence that cannot be tolerated.

Meanwhile, after coming into contact with "El Shaddoll Winda", the "Qliphorts" came to realize the existence of a life with the same aura as a god – an impossibility. Registering this as a fatal error in "Naturia Sacred Tree’s" life system, the "Qliphort" started executing the elimination of all life on the surface world, to purge and purify the world.

===Radiant Trail of the Diamond===
After rendezvousing with the "Tellarknight", "Gem-Knight Master Diamond" tried to perform the ultimate fusion by weaving together his own power of fusion, the valiant form of the "Constellar" in his memories, and the power of "connecting the stars" wielded by the "Tellarknight".

Rallying around "Stellarknight Constellar Diamond", the allied forces regained their strength and succeeded in pushing back the waves of "Infernoid" and "Qliphort".

It is for this reason that "Lazuli" is the only "Gem-Knight" without a "Pyroxene".
