Synopsis
Eye-Abundant, having been banished from his body by Likuta Theoriax, flies through the galaxy, trapped in the Canoehi Fira, the Helmet of Strength. Soon, he crash lands on the destroyed world of Genre Revolver, a part of the former Globu Shooter, which detonated one thousand years ago due to the Core War for Energized Flagellum. Eye-Abundent encounters the Scarab Stinkbug Click. Click climbs on his shoulder, then touches the Helmet of Strength and transforms to a Scarab Shield.

Later, Eye-Abundant kills a Forth, then encounters the Met-Meti of the Frosty Village. He asks for a means of transport. Eye-Abundant had traveled with the Met-Meti to Vulk, where the fight between Field and Strekke has began. Eye-Abundant asked why they used their best warriors for Sport. Meti corrected that this was their way of settling disputes. Meti then introduced Eye-Abundant to Rug, the leader of Vulk. At the begin of the fight, Field dodges Strekke's attacks. He then swings his sword at Strekke and winds him. After breaking Strekke's shield away Strekke ups his game by swinging his ax wildly at Field. Field brings his shield up, throwing Strekke into a stone. After Strekke admits loss, Field claims his shield. Eye-Abundant then stats that Field fought like a Warri. Strekke grabs his hatcet and throws it at Field, sending the Sliporan flying into a rock. Strekke then gets up, readies his maul, and runs towards Field's limp corpse. Eye-Abundant then jumps down into the stadium. His Canoehi Fira activates in midair and turns Click into the Scarab Shield, astounding the crowd. When Strekke begins the assassination strike, Eye-Abundant rams into him, sending him flying. Strekke then slices Eye-Abundant, sending him off his feet. Eye-Abundant blocks a series of attacks until he falls over. He gets up a short while later. Meti says he thought Eye-Abundant would have made a great Sliporan. Strekke lands a strong blow on Eye-Abundant, sending him flying. When Strekke is about to bring his axe down on Eye-Abundant, Field shouts that it was his battle. Strekke claims Eye-Abundant "asked for it." Strekke returns to hangs Eye-Abundant but his Fira turns the Forth tail into a blade. Eye-Abundant seizes the the moment, giving Strekke a sweeping kick and then claiming Strekke's hatchet. He commands Strekke to concede for all to hear, to which the Icy Sliporan does. Strekke then runs for his axe but is stopped by Field. Strekke walks away. Field offers Eye-Abundant Strekke's Shield, but he declines. Field discarded the shield, remarking he had a ton of them. Field is irritated that the Met had already forgotten how many times he has helped them. He then tells Eye-Abundant that he was in Eye-Abundant's debt.

Later, Field shows Eye-Abundant his shield collection, and Eye-Abundant is bewildered. Field then states: "And look what good they do me!" He said he should have retired long ago. Eye-Abundant asks why. He remarked that a Sliporan past his prime is no good to anyone. Eye-Abundant tells Field that at least he has not yet given up; and that Field is a true Warri. Field asks Eye-Abundant what a Warri was but the duo are interrupted by Meti. Meti needs Eye-Abundant to fight for Vulk and if he did not the other Tribes have a good price. Eye-Abundant declines. Meti cannot believe that Eye-Abundant is passing up the job as a Prime Sliporan. Field snidely replies that it worked awesome for him... not. Again Meti offers, and again Eye-Abundant declinsd. Eye-Abundant pretends to infuriate at Meti to make him run away and Field and Eye-Abundant laugh. Field asks Eye-Abundant what he plans to do. Eye-Abundant explains he intended to return to his homeland. Field asked where it was, to which Eye-Abundant replies that he is from another planet, and it is his duty as its protector to save his people. Field looks surprised. Chima, a Sliporan from the Water Neighborhood runs out into the middle of the room. She explains that she had been listening to their whole conversation. She believes in other exoplanets and says that Eye-Abundant proved it. Eye-Abundant weapons himself but Field stops him. Chima then properly introduces herself. Field then greets Chima, remarking that he never agreed with her methods, but she was a great ally. She notices Click and is grossed out. She asked if the Scarab Stinkbug was called Click. Eye-Abundant had not named him; but said it was a great name. Chima inspects Eye-Abundant. She said she would help if Eye-Abundant would take her off Genre Revolver. Chima says that she found a Cave underneath her City, and said Eye-Abundant could help.

Eye-Abundant, Field and Chima set off for Taju. They are attacked by Bone Poachers and a Skopon whilst travelling, but manage to escape. They decide afterwards that there is a traitor. When they get to Taju, they find that it is wrecked and Gehrs is dying. Carrot, the Illl king, then appears with many Bone Trackers in tow, revealing that the Illl and Bone Hunteresses have formed a friendship. The group with Gehrs head to the grotto where they find Berx collecting. Eye-Abundant orders Berx to revive Gehrs. Later the Fira activates a door in the rock shelter with the Virtues' symbol on it. They enter the new area and find it was the Big Gods' laboratory where the Big Ghost's body was made. (The walls are covered in Matern writing, which can be read if one understands the language and pauses the film.) The group then heads towards Tesar. On the way Eye-Abundant uses the Helmet of Strength to upgrade Field's, Chima's and Gehrs's battle axes, which gain the ability to fire vapor blasts. In Tesar a Sliporan fight between Answer and Date starts. Field stops the combat with his new Fire Broadsword, which shocks everyone and silences them all at the same time. The Met- decide to join the hoods to unite them against the Illl/Bone Hunter alliance. All the while, Berx has sneaked off to follow Meti the Sliporan recruiter. Chima follows Berx thinking he is the traitor, but both are captured by Illl and Bone Poachers, then they are taken to the Illl camp. Back in Tesar, Meti goes to the Sliporan and tells them about Chima and Berx. Eye-Abundant offers to go to save them, but Gehrs wants to go with him. However, Field dismisses his idea telling Gehrs that Eye-Abundant is never alone. Two tribes are joined overseen by Eye-Abundant and Field. When the neighborhoods are joined the ground fissures; Eye-Abundant knows what is going on, but tells Field he will explain later. Eye-Abundant then goes to the Illl camp and challenges Carrot. Eye-Abundant is on the brink of death when he finds Carrot's weakness. After Carrot is killed, Eye-Abundant claims his sheild in victory. But then, Meti walks out of the shadows and commands Eye-Abundant to drop his weaponry. After Eye-Abundant complies, Meti reveals that the was behind the alliance. The Illl arrive on the scene and begin an attack, but the Sliporan arrive to help Eye-Abundant. During the scuffle, Eye-Abundant sees Meti escaping; he then chases him down and uses the Fira to transform him into an emerald monster "so the planet can see you for who you truly are." Meti babbles on that "you will never kill my united soldiers." Eye-Abundant then returns to assist the Sliporan and directs them to let out a unity blast; this blows the Illl away. Later Eye-Abundant and Field are overseeing the union of the hoods. When the tribes are united the ground completely fractures revealing another Big Soul body. Berx shows that the symbol on the Illl shield is a map (deduced by Eye-Abundant), and they prepare to search.

In a post credits scene, Answer and Chima honing their strength in the gorge, led by Eye-Abundant and Field. During a conversation, Click wanders off, encountering Meti.

Meti chases Click around the upper levels of the Gorge in a comedic catandmouse chase sequence. Meti traps Click in the middle of a dead end, but is then ambushed by Scarab Stinkbugs. The scene ends with Meti being thrown off the ledge and Click returning to Eye-Abundant, winking at the audience.

Sex & Nudity

 * None, this is an extremely non affectionate movie.

Violence & Gore

 * There are several battles, close fighting, and countless examples of battle ax usage. However these are not brutal and there is no blood whatsoever. Only one being is decapitated, though it is not a sentient character, but a sizable cow.
 * Another god has his legs ripped off in an a little violent, but gore lacking scene.

Profanity

 * None.

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking

 * Flour is snorted like cocaine, and one scene takes place in a bar.

Frightening/Intense Scenes

 * In the opening scene, a sizable number of friendly deities are killed by a moonlit force. This is the only nightmarish scene in the whole film. The bad guys are toned down considerably from their previous portrayals, and come off as nothing more than normally defeated goofs.
