This is one heck of a story-packed episode, to the point where I had to watch it several times just to take the whole thing in.
For the entire history, check out the show's official website.
In a nutshell, people can use and combine Di Gata stones to summon creatures, weapons, and spells. A wizard named Nazmul tried to gather all the stones' powers into a creature named the Megalith. He was stopped by a group of heroes known as the Di Gata Defenders, who also sealed the creature away in four pure stones, but at the cost of their own lives.
Their children were spirited away to a dojo hidden behind a dome of concealment where they were trained in the arts of the Di Gata stones. As the story opens, the kids have grown into teenagers curious about the world outside their hidden home. They are: Erik, a tech-geek; Kara, the youngest and feistiest; Mel, patient and level-headed; and Seth, their cocky and impatient leader.
Unfortunately, the pure stones containing the Megalith are weakening and he will eventually be freed. The kids leave on a quest to find the four relics and reactivate the sealing spell.
On their trail, though, is Nazmul's Order of Infinis, now lead by his lackey, Brackus.
This was a good pilot. They set up a grand conflict, an epic quest, and four sheltered kids who can discover this unknown world along with the audience. Add to that beautiful designs and well-choreographed battles, and you get a show that's perfect for a fantasy junkie like myself.
The only problem, as I mentioned above, is that the history is almost a bit too dense at times. I know they wanted to get it all out up front, but some could have been saved for future episodes.
Still, it was great fun and I look forward to more.
