The story takes place in the last years of the Cold War, where unknown artifacts known as Out-Of-Place-Artifacts(OOPArt) are discovered all over the world, leading to a secret war. ARCAM is the self-appointed organization that guards the OOPArts and prevents them from being misused.
We see Professor Yamabishi, a girl who has returned to Japan after some time. She is awaiting the arrival of her personal security personnel, which ARCAM Corp had promised. Two armed men approach the professor, flashing a gun in her face and telling her not to cause any trouble and to join them.
They drag her to a parking lot and demand that she gets in the car. They admit that it is not in their best interests for the professor to come in contact with ARCAM Corp, but that they will neither harm or murder her while she is with them. A young boy from the ARCAM Corp stops them, demanding that the professor be released if they want to get out of this alive.
One of them fires a shot at the boy, knocking him to the ground. He turns away, assuming the youngster is dead, but the boy rises and hits him, knocking him out. He then attacks and disarms the other man, discarding his weapon in the process. The boy and the professor get into their car and drive away, stating that the car is compensation for the attempted murder.
After the boy and professor have fled the scene, a KGB agent appears and murders the two CIA agents, calling them pathetic and incompetent. Meanwhile, the youngster claims to be unharmed because he is an Immortal. He says that escorting a brilliant professor like her was an honor for him. He explains that, like her, he is still a student and is just sixteen years old. He reveals that she was being pursued by many organizations due to her linguistic and hieroglyphic decoding abilities, but she doesn't have to be concerned as long as he is with her.
Another man arrives at the crime scene and joins the KGB agent, claiming that they need to get ahold of Professor Yamabishi in order to answer the riddle of the shrine of fire.
Back at the ARCAM facility, the corporation's president, Yamamoto, presents himself and requests the professor's assistance. The doctor agrees, but asks about Yu Ominae's location, to which Yamamoto responds that he is missing.
Yamabishi takes a bath before starting her work, but she discovers that the boy has broken into her room, despite the fact that she had locked it. The boy expresses concern for the professor, and she admits that she no longer has any family in Japan. She was an orphan, and the only person she knew who cared about her was Yu, whom she was eager to meet. The boy promises to help her find him once she finishes her work.
They begin by giving the professor an outline of her work. ARCAM had uncovered ruins on Mt. Fuji that they believed had traces of the “Ancient Fuji Culture“. They want her to decipher an ancient Japanese script carved on the walls, which she has never seen before. Yamabishi takes the elevator from the meeting hall to her lab. When the door opens, she is greeted by a massive guy dressed in strange armour, who has left a trail of dead security personnel in his wake.
Yamabishi is about to be attacked when the boy bursts through the ceiling and punches one of the armored guys through the door. He pushes the other through a window, causing him to crash into a car. He notices that he's surrounded by more members of the US Armed Forces. As he takes a stance to take on all of them, he removes his shirt, revealing the ARCAM Corp Armored Muscle Suit.
How will the fight proceed, now that the boy is outnumbered?
