Story

In an unknown alien galaxy, far from the Milky Way, a war is raging between a group of human-like people called the C.H.I.L.D.A. and a mysterious race of violent robotic vehicles called the Ver'mith. The C.H.I.L.D.A. has deployed its elite force of humanoid weapons called Triggerhearts. Two of the Triggerheart units, Exelica and her programmed sister Crueltear, were engaged in combat against the Ver'mith during an attack when a portal called the "Gate" opened and sucked both Triggerhearts in. Materializing on Earth, Exelica and Crueltear soon made this planet their new home, having no way to return and losing their reasons to fight, as they could not know the outcome of the interstellar wars. Some time later, a new portal opened and the surviving Ver'mith forces appeared. The Ver'mith wanted to make Earth their main attack stronghold and quickly removed most of Earth's defenses. As the destruction spread, the once buried fighting instincts in Exelica and Crueltear reawakened. The final battle against the Ver'mith has begun, but this time the Ver'mith have their own version of a Triggerheart unit called the Faintear. Outnumbered, but with their battle instincts awakened and a reason to fight again, the future of planet Earth and the entire galaxy depends on the Triggerheart units.
