The hero Laden has approached the throne of the evil Gyra preparing for a fight, only to discover that Gyra is in fact Laden's long lost brother, Roki. Roki offers Laden the chance to join him in global domination; Laden refuses in shock, and Roki calls his servants, Clauss and Salome, to begin overthrowing King Lorelei and stealing the ELEMENTAL [sic]. The three disappear, leaving Laden to have to stop them by force.

shoots backward. You can rapidfire for a limited time; you cannot shoot in both directions simultaneously. Powerups are collected as usual. Since the screen always scrolls up, getting stuck at the bottom will kill you.
