This is the Maxtrix. It has the power to shape worlds
and change realities.
It is what good and evil seek alike. It has been stolen...
Only eight can save the universe.
LOTM
My name is Steve Bateman. I am the creator, the moderator, the giver of the Matrix. The Matrix is the most powerful force in the universes--every universe. However, with great good comes great evil. The Matrix has been stolen. The foe of everything living, Backstabber and his thugs have claimed their prize and with it they plan to invade the universes. The Matrix will power Backstabber's armies to strengths never seen before.
He intends to crown himself Supreme Commander over the universes. The sun will forever set. The winds forever blow. Ashes will rise to great figures of evil and hate.
With the aid of his henchmen, Apollyon--Lord of Fire and Flame--, Sixty--Lord of Darkness and Black--and Savage--Lord of Pain and Anguish--, Backstabber 
has taken the Matrix. Time is all that stands between the destruction of my universes and there is not much time left. To insure that I can not reclaim the Matrix--while his armies unite--Backstabber has broken it into three pieces, entrusting each piece with one of his dark Lords.
The only chance for the universes are eight individuals. They are paired, living in different universes and unaware of each others existence. I created them long ago in case this evil should come close to befalling justice and right. I call on them now. I use the last of my power--I reshape their universes, removing them. I also reshape the universes of the dark Lords, removing them. And they converge together on a new playing field, a new world which I have created. These eight are the only chance...
They must defeat all of the dark Lords, defeat Backstabber and return the Matrix for peace and order to be restored.
