Sheng Xiao Clan (also known as Shengxiao Warriors) is the East Asian Deadly Alliance, Chinese Deadly Alliance and the Ancient Deadly Alliance as well the team member of the UN-GDI and the Taoist Lotus Clan. Chosen by the Jade Emperor, a group of young students and brave warriors turned into masters of the Chinese Zodiac, the Shengxiao, and battle the evil forces of Nian and his demon army, Daomei Mao and Lin-Chaing and his Black Cats and the evil sorcerer named Hwon Jang Shiwu.

Origins
The Early Days
In the ancient times of the Far Eastern Antichthon, the Jade Emperor celebrates his birthday and organized the greatest event of Animal Kingdom known as the Great Race of the Zodiac. Each student from 13 schools has been chosen by the Jade Emperor and lined up for the Race.

Among the students are Liang Zishi the Rat and Daomei Mao the Cat, both were best friends but they were the worst swimmers in the animal kingdom although they have a great intelligence.

The Great Race
On the day of the Great Race, the 13 students of each school raced to through the forest, dodging obstacles and follow the route to the Jade Emperor's Palace. But they have to cross the river over in a difficult way.

Liang Zishi and Daomei Mao asked the favor to Gui Choushi the Ox to get across the river and Choushi agreed to help them as he carried them to the other side of the river. But then, while crossing, Zishi pushed Daomei off from his shoulder to the river as he suddenly tricked him. After they've crossed the river, Zishi goes to first place after he tricked him and then Choushi goes to second place. Both of them earned the title from the Jade Emperor as the Cunning Rat and the Mighty Ox.

Then came Lei Yinshi the Tiger, goes to third place after he struggled to cross the river as hard as he can. Despite of this, he earned the title from the Jade Emperor as the Great Tiger.
Then came Xingjuan Maoshi the Rabbit who just came in fourth place after she jumped on the stepping though she fell to river but she got lucky to get there when she grabbed the log and helped by Longwei Chenshi the Dragon after he helped the farmers by making rain. Both of them earned the title as the Running Rabbit and the Golden Dragon.
Then came Jie Wushi the Horse has arrived together in sixth place but then suddenly Lan Sishi the Snake showed up, hiding behind his back and made it in sixth place and earned the title as the Viper while Wushi made it in lucky seventh place and earned the title as the Fiercest Horse.
Then came Yingming Weishi the Goat, Yusheng Shenshi the Monkey and Huang Youshi the Rooster and they have arrived in orderly fashion. Weishi came in eight place, Shenshi in ninth place, and Youshi came in tenth place. All three earned the title as the Righteous Ram, the Jade Monkey, and the Frozen Rooster.
Then came Langgou Xushi the Dog who arrived a little bit late which he need a good bath for a long time so he comes properly despite he's been a good swimmer. And finally Zhong Haishi has arrived late to Jade Emperor's Palace which he was hungry and took a nap for a bit. But despite of this, both of them were in a nick of time and earned the title as the Raging Wolfdog and the Lucky Pig.

With the Great Race is over, they have become the Sheng Xiao Warriors, sworn to defend the animal kingdom from evil and Zishi Liang became the leader of the group.

Until that day, everything changed...

The Cat's Revenge
For 5 years of peace, Zishi returned home from his school after his training is over. Until when he arrived to his home, his village came under attack by the forces of the Black Cat Army, commanded by Daomei Mao who seeks revenge upon Zishi. Zishi defended his friends and fellow villagers while fighting the Black Cats.

As he rescued the last group of trapped villagers, he was knocked down and beaten in a bloody pulp by Daomei Mao. But Zishi stood up bravely despite having broken bones and fought his once a friend now an enemy of the Shengxiao. Zishi is weakened and broken and he was about to be killed by Daomei's blade but he was rescued by Chenshi and his fellow Shengxiao Warriors and defeated Daomei Mao and his evil army.

As Daomei Mao and his remaining forces were rounded up by the Shengxiao Warriors, the Jade Emperor and his royal guards have arrived to see the incident in Zishi's village. After the Jade Emperor casted Daomei Mao and his forces as well his evil master, Lin-Chaing out, Zishi confessed his past mistake from 5 years and handed over his leadership to Chenshi for his wise and strong deeds. However, Jade Emperor forgave him as he knew the rats were smarter than cats and still a Shengxiao Warrior and always be a hero. Zishi was relieved and became second deputy leader of the group while Chenshi's friend, Yinshi, is the first deputy.

The Shengxiao Warriors continue their duties to protect the animal kingdom of the Jade Empire from the evil forces of Nian and Hwon Jong Shiwu the evil sorcerer who wants the power from the Chinese Zodiac.

12 heavenly generals, they are usually avatars or representations for the 12 zodiac animals. They are of Indian religion but Japan adopted it.

That's interesting idea. But, I know how Japan adopted the Chinese Zodiac but how come that the Indian religion adopted it?

Lonewolfninja89 In reply to DragonSnake9989 [2016-03-20 14:40:42 +0000 UTC]

India created the 12 generals for their religion but japan adopted that. Since there were 12 generals that protected 12 directions they decided to connect them to tell time as well, so thats when the generals became counterparts and corresponds to the 12 animals. You see the reference in Digimon. Well did watch the 3rd series of digimon with the 12 devas?
