Rodea the Sky Soldier

A thousand years ago, Emperor Geardo of the Naga Empire sent out an army of machine soldiers to invade the Celestial Kingdom of Garuda. Thanks to the efforts of Princess Cecilia and Rodea, a machine soldier who had promised to protect Garuda, Emperor Geardo's attack was thwarted. In the present, a brave inventor named Ion discovers an abandoned robot that has fallen into disrepair in the middle of a scorching desert. After repairs are completed, the robot comes to life and reveals itself to be none other than Rodea. Rodea is stunned to find himself in the future and learns that the Naga Empire no longer exists and that peace has reigned on Garuda for a thousand years. But this peace was not to last, for the Naga forces have returned to wage war against Garuda. Rodea remembers the promise he made 1,000 years ago and takes to the skies to defend Garuda once again from the Naga Empire.
