TheHero is Acarno Brani, who traveled to the city of East Edge in 2115 to become a "Junk Blader." Since the events of the first game, [[AfterTheEnd the Earth has become a boiling furnace]] that is only habitable due to massive cooling devices. He tries to save an old man at the airport from being robbed and ends up becoming involved in a sinister conspiracy revolving around a [[MacGuffin mysterious capsule.]] It was released only in Japan and Europe, with certain copies containing a {{Game Breaking Bug}} that made it impossible to finish. It also has it's own fan made website.

* GameBreakingBug: In the second episode opening a mandatory door drops several robot spiders in that explode. Unfortunately this crashes the game meaning that the PAL release cannot be completed, although it is possible there was an updated re-release. Emulation also fixes this.
