Plot
One day the player's character meets Derek Carlson, one of the Checkmaters, who teaches him the rules in a fight against Sheik. (At the start of the game, you get a Tsuchinoko to start off with.) After going to the local store & meeting Lauren, who suggests the player battle with other Checkmaters in the park to earn CP (Chess Points, the game's currency) a strange warrior falls from the sky called Ghidorah which is now the new best friend of the player. Ghidorah is an unknown & aggressive warrior being created by all the hate & anger of the lost warriors trapped in the Doom Graveyard. In several fights the player will meet a lot of people but at the same time a guy, whose name is Duke, decides to rule over all warriors together with Hercleo, another warrior that suddenly appears.

Right after Berwyn got the Jewel of Silence, the seals which held Hercleo captive in the Doom Graveyard suddenly broke & he escapes from the Doom Graveyard. At the end of a tournament when Derek makes the player an official Checkmater, Duke is revealed to have allied with Tar-Q, V, & Berwyn in order to defeat the Checkmaters & rule over the worlds & the warriors. The player must win the Ultimate Battle Tournament, defeating also Derek, Robin, Marty, Jenny, Sean, V, & a 1-on-1 showdown with Ghidorah the Omega Dragon & Hercleo the Gladiator. After the player wins, both Hercleo & Ghidorah disappear, saying they have only little power left after the combat. Later, the player discovers that Hercleo gave Ghidorah his remaining power, saying he deserved it, leaving Ghidorah to assume that Hercleo "wasn't all bad". The game ends with the player throwing Ghidorah in the air shouting, "Checkmate!".
