During the briefing before the operation, they are introduced to Zhar Battalion's commanding officer Fikatsia Latrova, who saved Yuuya and the Scarlet Twins earlier against the disgruntled Soviet pilots. This superweapon has never been fired before but has the capability to cause massive destruction at extreme range. For Argos-1's first encounter with the BETA, Yui considers testing her uncle's EML-99X railgun. The south Soviet pilots show disdain for all outsiders, even the Scarlet Twins who they view as privileged Russians taking refuge in Alaska. Being so near the front lines, the atmosphere is much different than at the tropical resort. The test pilots now depart to Kamchatka to gather flight data for colder regions.
Back at the resort, the Scarlet Twins and Yui are roped into a photo-op wearing their swimsuits to increase morale among the troops. As the storm lets up, Inia and the rest of Argos-1 shop up in their TSFs to rescue the stranded trio. As he explains about his animosity towards his Japanese father, Yui begins to understand him more. Before they can return to shore, a sudden tropical storm appears and leaves all three stranded on a small island.Īs they take shelter from the rain, Cryska asks Yuuya why he is bothered about his Japanese heritage. During a boat race, Cryska faints and Yuuya and Yui swim over to help. Time at the beach puts all the girls in swimsuits and everyone in a better mood. The Argos Flight program takes to the tropics to acquire flight data for warm regions. Taking matters into her own hands, Yui decides to show Yuuya what the Japanese TSFs are capable of. While out on a routine training exercise, Argos-1 encounters a mysterious TSF. When Yuuya is apprehended by Soviet authorities for his supposed espionage, Argos-1 truly comes together for the first time to bail him out.ĭue to Yuuya's inability to master the Type-94, the Argos Test Flight continues to perform poorly. Deep within the base, Yuuya is confronted by Cryska Barchenowa, who along with Inia are infamously known as the Scarlet Twins. There he encounters a young girl named Inia who drags him off to meet her stuffed teddy bear. Yuuya decides to blow off some steam after an argument with Yui and finds himself in the Soviet section of the Yukon Base. Unfortunately, the hotshot American pilot isn't used to the heavy handling of Japanese TSFs compared to the speed and mobility of his native F-15. Yuuya is put into the driver's seat of the Japanese made TSF Zuikaku. There is little cohesion in the international team and Yuuya finds himself in a mock TSF battle between his new Argos-1 squad mates Tarisa, Valerio and Stella. Yuuya Bridges is one such pilot from America and has been selected to test the Argos Test Flight prototype developed by Yui's unit. At their Yukon Base in Alaska, this joint organization is dedicated to creating the next generation of TSF with the help of test pilots from all over the world. Three years later, Yui has risen to the tank of Lieutenant and plays an integral part in the UN Project Prominence. With her TSF rendered useless, Kazusa is swarmed by BETA and begs Yui to shoot her before she is eaten alive. With only Yui and Kazusa remaining, they are pinned down under a destroyed subway tunnel. The BETA relentlessly advance through the countryside and Yui's friends are picked off one by one. Seeing the situation is hopeless, Yui's squad is ordered to retreat before they too are lost. When Korea finally falls to the alien hordes, Yui and the others are called upon to help defend the Japanese capital at Kyoto.ĭespite their best efforts, the never ending waves of BETA overwhelm the Imperial Japanese military. Joined by her friends Izumi, Shimako, Aki and Kazusa, they form a close bond while the looming threat of a BETA invasion grows ever closer. As the niece of a high ranking Imperial officer, Yui has a lot to live up to. Yui Takamura is a student at the prestigious Kyoto Royal Guard Academy where she is in training to be a TSF pilot. With the BETA setting their sights on Japan, the next generation of TSF pilots will help decide the fate of the human species. These giant fighting robots allow humans to fight on equal footing against the endless BETA hordes. During this time, the Tactical Surface Fighter (TSF) was developed. After 25 years of fighting, the BETA have engulfed the majority of Eurasia. When humanity's weapons prove ineffective, the BETA begin their invasion of Earth in 1973.
In the year 1967, a hostile alien lifeform known as the BETA is discovered on the Moon.
