Ten years after the Jamahl Empire fell, a new threat, the Melzard tribe, emerges. At the revamped Earth Academia called Cosmo Academia, Takuya Kai and Guru work on a new generation of Insect-Powered [[Powered Armor]] suits. When the Melzard launches their first attack, two of the suits are immediately entrusted to Kengo Tachibana and Ran Ayukawa. The third is soon entrusted to [[Ordinary High School Student]] Kouhei Toba. With the new team in place, the Melzard's schemes for Earth have reached a dead end.
