The Gavanas, whose leader receives orders from his mother rather than the Emperor, have nearly wiped out the peaceful planet of Jillucia in their war against the Gavanas. King Kaiba distributes eight sacred seeds of the Liabe species, each of which is to be received by a different individual who has been chosen to protect the Gavanas. Each winner, from the tough General Garuda to the Gavana Prince Hans to the young Terrans Meia, Kido, and Aaron, has a unique reaction to the news that they have been chosen.
