Many years ago on the far-off planet of Vermonia, two brothers, Uro and Boros, waged a fierce battle against each other. When Uro finally triumphed, Queen Frasinella's peaceful reign came to an end.

Yet it was foretold that four brave warriors from the planet of Blue Star would return to challenge Lord Uro again. Four ordinary, twelve-year-old skateboarders have no idea the time has come for them to fulfil an ancient prophecy. But when Mel is suddenly kidnapped by one of Lord Uro's soldiers and imprisoned far away, Doug, Naomi and Jim know they have to find and help her.
