The death of his girlfriend during the reactivation of “Frank”, an alien creature, has left the brilliant college student, Tukuto Kenishiro with nothing in his life but a deep desire for revenge. But the repeated attacks of strange off-world creatures has forced the Earth Special Defense team to enlist and depend on the X1 (the renamed “Frank”) as their critically important weapon of last resort in the defense of Pilgrimage point, an rural area in Montana where all of the attacking aliens appear to be targeting. The latest replacement member to the defense team is a moody and silent pilot named Ryu Soma, a soldier with no clear past but with an apparent undying hatred of the X1 alien. |
