Return of Hope! is the first chapter of Battle Spirits Advent series.
Synopsis
Two mysterious figures are battling with Battle Spirits. Upon defeating the other, one of the battlers is able to summon the legendary creator. The other uses some sort of dark power to split the creator into six different pieces, driving the six warriors into a deep slumber and separate them. Years pass, and the beast begin to awaken. They call on six warriors from other worlds to take up the mission of joining together and finding the one thing that can make them whole again.
Yuki arrives at a city, where he is met by a young boy named Domanic. Domanic thinks Yuki is a Dominater and is there to steal everyone's battle spirits cards. So he gathers his two friends, and the three try to ambush him. Upon seeing Yuki's New-Siegfried, they realize he is a figure that could become a friend. Their nerves are calmed when Iida and Iwai arrive. Iwai swears she will become Yuki's guide to finding the way to bring back the creator. The three boys lead Yuki through the city to the old ruins, but they are followed by a Dominator. The Dominator challenges Yuki to a battle for his New-Siegfried.
