The story takes place on the isolated island of Iwado in Okinawa, where a movement for the establishment of an autonomous government is growing. Ao Fukai, a 13-year-old boy with a missing father, lives on the island with an elderly doctor named Toshio and is about to enter middle school. Ao's mother was abducted by unknown individuals a decade ago. Naru Arata, Ao's 13-year-old childhood friend and the heroine of this story, lives with her father, older sister, and grandmother. Due to an accident in her childhood, a "Yuta" power was awakened within her.

A mysterious unit called "Secret" suddenly appears and launches an attack on the "Scub Coral" lifeform on the island. Driven by a passionate desire to protect the island, Ao activates a certain military machine called "Nirvash" aboard a Japanese military transport.
