Following a devastating meteor impact, Earth falls under the control of traitorous forces, plunging its people into hardship. Amidst the turmoil, Tetsuro Daiba, a boy orphaned by the catastrophe, encounters Mello, a mysterious woman who materializes in a dazzling light. Awakening aboard a spaceship's medical ward, Daiba impulsively steals a fighter and skillfully pilots it, drawing upon an unexpected genetic memory. With the guidance of his doctor friend, Daiba delves into a clandestine research facility to unravel the secrets behind the oppressive regime. When enemy forces attempt to reclaim him, a girl named Rei Yuuki astonishingly decimates their carrier using a lone fighter, revealing her and Daiba's enigmatic powers coveted by their adversaries. While searching for a rumored third survivor (revealed as a cat), the duo is forcibly brought before Queen Photon, the ruler advocating for Earth's salvation from the meteor's creators. Caught between conflicting allegiances to the Queen and Mello, the trio's fate hangs in balance until the telepathic cat orchestrates their escape from the Queen's confinement, paving the way for Mello to clarify their path. Confronted with a pivotal decision, they must choose between remaining on a planet ill-suited for their advanced species or venturing into the enigmatic expanse of space.
