When a mysterious extradimensional enemy, Nova, attacked, the young boy Kazuya Aoi lost his beloved older sister in the battle. Now he's transferred to West Genetics, a training facility for Pandora, warriors with the power to fight Nova, and their partners, Limiters.

There Kazuya meets Satellizer el Bridget, a woman feared as the “Untouchable Queen”. Kazuya is drawn to Satellizer's resemblance to his older sister, and although she rejects him, he throws himself into battle with her, slowly closing the distance between them.
