Sixth Company: The Science Guild
The Glittering Crux Brigade is organized into four functional groups from the second Company “Vanishing Age” to the Fifth Company “Filament,” but there’s one more company, the special action section, Sixth Company “Science Guild.” They are, as the name implies, the company that studies the Cybodies sleeping below ground. So far, they’ve carried out ability capacity and start up experiments on the ever so mysterious Cybodies. Professor Green leads the group. |

The Cybodies sleeping underground have infinite possibilities. When that power was discovered, there were those who wondered whether they could be brought out of “Zero Time.”
Their name, of course, is the Glittering Crux Brigade—a secret society trying to release the seals on the Cybodies and make Phase Five activation possible.
They have many members to start with, there’s the leader of Third Company, “Bougainvillea,” Nichi Keito/Ivrogne, and Shinada Benio/Scarlet Kiss who commands the Fifth Company, “Filament,” who are both students of the academy. But, since they all hide their faces behind masks, none of them know who each other’s real identity. You could say that they lead a double life as students and members of the Glittering Crux Brigade.
They certainly want to bring the Cybodies into the real world, but to what end? What is their real aim? Among the swirling speculation, the curtain on fabulous and furious fight between Takuto and the Glittering Crux Brigade opens. |

The Milky Way that covers the sky over our heads almost like a shroud, and the calm water that reflects that starry sky. A giant raincloud swells up almost like a raging beast, and overwhelms the area. Colors that overflow and figures that dissolve. “Zero Time” is surely the opening of a gap in the time of this world—a bizarre world.
The Cybodies cannot move freely except within the confines “Zero Time.” Takuto is working to smash the plans of the Glittering Crux Brigade, who’d like to take the Cybodies into the real world. Thanks to the fighting of Takuto and the others this “Zero Time” becomes a magnificently elegant stage that’s both tempestuous and tranquil.
Also, inside this “Zero Time” time flows differently than it does in the real world—no matter how long things go on inside, no time passes in the real world at all. Hence the name “Zero Time.” |

The 20 or so Cybodies sleeping underground
There are ancient ruins below Southern Cross Island. About 20 Cybodies are sleeping there. There are two types among them, the female “shrine maiden type” and the male “warrior type”. Furthermore, the abilities of the “warrior types” are sealed by the “shrine maiden types.” Also, there’s a gigantic Cybody that doesn’t fit into the aforementioned classifications, “The King’s Cybody,” presently so damaged that it cannot move. |

The power of the sealed Cybodies and the 5 phases
The Cybody’s power is sealed in advance by the four shrine maiden types. The Glittering Crux Brigade calls the stages of the seal “phases,” distinguishing from the completely sealed “Phase One” through “Phase Five.” When each of the first four stage seals is released, the phase moves to a higher number, and the restraints on its power are lifted. When they reach the final phase, “Phase Five,” it’s said that the Cybody can operate outside of Zero Time. |

Apprivoising and Zero Time
Cybodies that can’t move, as if they were normal stone figures, can be activated when certain people apprivoise (form a bond with) them. At that time, they materialize in the special alternate dimension called “Zero Time” (conversely, outside of “Zero Time” Cybodies can’t move). The aim of the Glittering Crux Brigade is to take the Cybodies out of Zero Time. |

The brilliant sunlight rains down on Southern Cross Island. But, there’s a big secret hidden deep under the ground of this island. Sleeping in the ancient underground ruins are 20 giant stone figures—these figures, called Cybodies, will awaken from their long sleep if a capable person apprivoises (forms a bond with) them.
But, they can’t use their abilities freely since they are sealed by the four female Cybodies, called “shrine maiden types.” Phase Two Cybodies can only be operated remotely from Cybercaskets, and are also restricted to operating within the special alternate dimension called “Zero Time.”
But, “Tauburn,” the Cybody Takuto pilots, is the only machine for which those restrictions are partly lifted. Takuto doesn’t use a Cybercasket, but pilots Tauburn directly, and can show its power off completely (this stage is called “Phase Three”). Takuto is called the “Galactic Pretty Boy" because of that astonishing power. |

Takuto came to Southern Cross Island to “enjoy his adolescence.” The school he ended up attending is Southern Cross High School. With its spacious buildings, grounds wrapped in rich greenery, and surrounded by more lively classmates than anywhere else, Takuto managed to start a new life on this island.
Boring classes where the teachers’ voices drone on endlessly, the idle conversations during break, lunch with friends, love gossip…. It seems to be everywhere, but that’s the day-to-day of a priceless “adolescence.” At the edge of the blue sky particular to this southern island, Takuto and the others pass this sparkling time.
Of course, there are clubs after class too. Takuto, Wako and Sugata join the drama club with strict, but kind, senior member, Endou Sarina, and the cute mascot “sub chief.” As the sun slowly sets behind the school building, Takuto and the others zealously rehearse with the other members. This is another unmissable scene of adolescence. |
