Take the lovable idols that have taken Tokyo by storm, the Shine Girls...

Now throw them into a classic side scroller beat 'em up, Golden Axe.

You now get Shining Axe. You now get...

The Shine Warriors.

Michika Kamisato, The Rogue: She's still the leader, she's still fiery and flamboyant, but she's gained a much more deadly edge. Rapidly zipping in and out of combat to strike where the enemy is the weakest, Michika takes her flaming passion and channels it into equally destructive fire magic. After the Kamisato family was torn apart by Death Luster's forces, she goes on a quest to avenge them and make the perpetrator pay.

Kimmie Chisaki, The Defender: Born into aristocracy, she lived the high life, she mingled with royalty on a regular basis, but she always had a desire to be a knight. She trained in secret and this would pay off one day as the entire Chisaki Kingdom was razed by Death Luster's forces. Now a broken noble, she wants nothing more than to take the head of the one responsible. Kimmie's earth magic can shake the heavens to their very core and very few can withstand her tectonic fury.

Sari Sumire, The Nomad: The Sumire Tribe preferred the cold mountains more than anything else, and Sari was no different. It provided peace, it ensured little interaction, it allowed her to simply exist. Then one day Death Luster's forces happened upon the mountain. Not a single member of the tribe survived, except for Sari. Now as the last member of her tribe, she has a bone to pick with Death Luster, and she'll fry anyone that gets in her way with her powerful lightning magic.

The idea for this was inspired by @Power45 and their 16-bit series! Shoutout to them!
