Mane City is thrown into uncertainty when a mysterious glitch sends strange energy across the land and reveals a chilling message: “The Tokens Have Awakened.” As Flyon and Lil Node begin investigating the disturbance, signs point toward the dangerous Stygian Storm and the return of Dr. EXL. With Glitch lurking in the shadows and the first clues surrounding the ancient Lion Tokens beginning to surface, Flyon realizes this is bigger than a simple system failure. The hunt for the truth has begun, and the Lions are rising.

They’re just trying to survive. But fate has other plans. This is just the beginning.” “SYNOPSIS” “In a world where ancient kingdoms and futuristic cities exist side by side, seven powerful Lion Tokens are said to possess the power to reshape reality itself.
