5	Our protagonist Hiro created Team BRIGHT along with his friends when they were in elementary school. The team attracted much attention, especially armament specialist Sota, but their Gunpla ([[Anime/MobileSuitGundam an RX-78-2 Gundam]]) disappeared on the day before the tournament, leading them to quarrel and split up. Now, four years later, the former group record-keeper Imaizumi sends the other members a video and they meet at their old school. However, Imaizumi isn't there, and Hiro and his friends find something else instead; a ''Real Grade'' model of RX-78.
