Storyline

20 years ago, five children were kidnapped by an alien race called the Mess Empire. They were rescued by the Flash alien race, which took each one to a different planet for training. Each of them was trained separately from the others in a range of superpower abilities that will allow them to fight the Reconstructive Experiment Empire Mess. When they finally return to Earth, they can only stay here for one year before their special powers fade (the Anti-Flash Phenomenon).
