A girl named Wako Agemaki discovers him laying face down in the sand. She revives him and brings him back to the home of Sugata Shindou. The next day, Takuto, tells his saviors that he missed the last ferry and didn’t want to be late for his school’s opening ceremonies.
Of course, Sugata and Wako think Takuto is an interesing person and they decide to befriend with him. After that, at school, Takuto attends a new student dorm meeting, and is told that, in addition to there being a multitude of other rules, there’s a restriction regarding breaking through the fence and accessing the old mine.
Takuto goes straight to the mine’s location, and is soon attacked by other students dressed in strange outfits. They take him to an underground compound along with Wako, who is one of the island’s four maidens and can therefore be put to their groups uses.
They open up a dimensional space and attempt to use Wako’s power, and surprisingly to them, Takuto also wields special powers and is able to follow them. Suddenly, Takuto finds himself controling a misterious ginand known as Cybody inside Zero Time, an alternate dimension.
Now, everybody thinks Takuto is the rumored “Galactic Pretty Boy” and that he will be able to defeat their adversaries known as the “Glittering Crux Brigade”.
