Plot
On the planet Trinia, human slaves have lived underground for millennia mining crystals for a "god" named Zygon and his robots. Orin, a young miner, finds a jeweled sword embedded in the rocks. Hopps, grandfather of Orin's girlfriend Elan, recognizes the sword and gives his life to save Orin and keep the sword a secret. Orin later grabs the sword, which levitates and buries itself in the cavern's floor. A projection of an old man appears from the blade, saying that above the caverns is a "magnificent universe". The blade then disappears, leaving only the hilt.
