Inhabitants of most planets have very powerful powers, with the exception of Earth. One day, the Sun moved into a new era creating a terrifying explosion, burning all the planets. Earth is the only place to live, all the races on other planets have moved here, using all their strength to protect this last planet and get through the Apocalypse. As time passed, the original unity was gone, leaving behind the contempt of powerful races with Humans, who divided the land and ruled over Humans like slaves. At that moment, Humanity appeared 3 siblings with special powers, that is to copy the power of others. From there these Chosen Ones begin their journey to reclaim their planet.
