THE CONNECTION FORGING STEEL

In the year 3045, lies 18-year-old Justin Steele, mentored for the past decade by his grandfather, Herschel Steele, in combat and the intricacies of the animal kingdom.

Justin strives to forge his own path by surpassing the difficult trials of the Wildlife Training Program (WT). A government-funded organization that provides new members with an exotic animal partner. Depending on the partner that the trainer receives, depicts which part of the country where the duo will be sent to work. Justin's journey unfolds as he receives an unexpected partnership with Coco, a South American coatimundi.

Empowered by his grandfather's teachings, Justin discovers he possesses an ancestral metallic strength within. The protector's armor, a gift handed down from generation to generation. Justin and Coco must navigate their newfound abilities to shield Ignacia and contest the menacing members of the AFA, an organization determined to undermine everything the WT has built.

Among the AFA lies their leader, The Dark Trainer. The sole perpetrator responsible for defeating the previous crystal claw trainer, Jericho Zhang. Jericho was not only the leader of the Hero Regime but also the top protector for all of Ignacia. He was matched with an animal partner that could harness the ability to transform into any animal that his partner desired. A power that had been locked away but began among Justin's family origins.

​

All of that and more lies ahead! Prepare to face a variety of challenges and obstacles as you experience the story of Justin and Coco. Watch as they take on the AFA and follow Justin's dream to become the next leader of the Hero Regime.
