After a catastrophic meteor strike that allowed traitor forces to take over, the people of Earth have been suffering greatly. Tetsuro Daiba, a young boy who tragically lost his parents in the disaster, is visited by a mysterious woman named Mello amidst the chaos. She appears in a bright light, and when Daiba wakes up, he finds himself in a spaceship infirmary under observation. Nevertheless, he is determined to escape and successfully steals a fighter, flying it like a seasoned pilot thanks to his DNA memory. Together with his doctor friend and secret undercover professor, Daiba begins to seek ways to defeat the traitor regime. When forces attempt to capture them, Rei Yuuki, a girl with unexplained powers, eliminates their entire carrier using a fighter jet. As the sole survivors of the meteor impact, they discover that their special abilities are coveted by the traitors. While searching for a third survivor, who turns out to be a cat, they are forcibly taken to see Queen Photon, ruler of the traitor regime. She claims to protect Earth from those who caused the meteor, but Daiba, Yuuki, and the cat are unsure of who to trust. They face a difficult decision: stay on a planet unsuitable for their advanced race, or venture into space, the unknown. With Mello's intervention, they are finally able to make their choice.
