The phoenix is a long-lived, immortal bird associated with Greek mythology (with analogs in many cultures) that cyclically regenerates or is otherwise born again. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor. Some legends say it dies in a show of flames and combustion, others that it simply dies and decomposes before being born again.[1] In the Motif-Index of Folk-Literature, a tool used by folklorists, the phoenix is classified as motif B32.[2] The origin of the phoenix has been attributed to Ancient Egypt by Herodotus and later 19th-century scholars, but other scholars think the Egyptian texts may have been influenced by classical folklore. Over time the phoenix motif spread and gained a variety of new associations; Herodotus, Lucan, Pliny the Elder, Pope Clement I, Lactantius, Ovid, and Isidore of Seville are among those who have contributed to the retelling and transmission of the phoenix motif. Over time, extending beyond its origins, the phoenix could variously "symbolize renewal in general as well as the sun, time, the Empire, metempsychosis, consecration, resurrection, life in the heavenly Paradise, Christ, Mary, virginity, the exceptional man, and certain aspects of Christian life".[3] Some scholars have claimed that the poem De ave phoenice may present the mythological phoenix motif as a symbol of Christ's resurrection.[4]
A few years ago the first monster appeared on the planet, since then there have been more and more. No one knows how they got here, or where they came from, but it's clear that their goal is to conquer and rule the world. Monsters such as Megalodon, Yeti, Aqrabuamelu, King Kong, Erymanthian Boar, Godzilla, Impundulu, Qinglong, Ogopogo, Erchitu, Lou Carcolh, Kraken, Hellhound, Indus worm, Aspidochelone, Phoenix, Abaia, King Ghidorah, Behemoth, Cipactli, Titanoboa, Fenrir, Griffin, Basilisk, Loch Ness Monster destroys rocks, destroys cities, kills civilizations and must be stopped. Over time, many of them have been defeated, but despite all efforts, the strongest of them (the listed monsters) still move around the planet and conquer the world. No army and no one else can defeat them. President Jack Aaron subpoenaed the general of the United States Army. General Jerome Stampleton was tasked with contacting Andrew Fox (head of the Pentagon) and Neil Chamberlain (director of the CIA). The trio was to assemble a team of the best fighters and monster slayers in the world. 10 members were selected for Team Ace: Arnold Cruz, Jack White, Mike Long, Jeff Russo, Scott Walker, Jasper Kurri, Winston Jameson, Joseph Ibrahim, Antonio Bravo, Oliver Caterham. This team must now work together to find a way to get along, but also how to neutralize all the monsters. In time, it turns out that Aspidochelone, Yeti, Phoenix, Griffin and King Kong are on their side and will help them defeat others.
