Narrative :

The plot revolves around Eiko (or, "A-ko") Magami, a red-haired teenage girl who just happens to be stronger and faster than anyone else alive. However, A-ko considers herself to be perfectly normal, and worries mostly about getting to school on time. Her best friend is Shiiko (or, "C-ko") Kotobuki, a bubbly, carefree, optimistic blonde. The two girls transfer to Graviton High School and catch the attention of Biko (or, "B-ko") Daitokuji, a brilliant but spoiled-rotten (and possibly psychotic) classmate with a knack for building mecha in no time flat.

B-ko develops an unexpected crush on the innocent C-ko and is determined to get A-ko out of the picture at any cost. Her determination goes from being merely obsessive to homicidal when she realizes that she and A-ko were rivals back in kindergarten. B-ko creates a series of killer mecha to defeat A-ko before the morning bell rings. All of them are destroyed effortlessly by A-ko. In a final attempt at victory, B-ko makes the fight more personal by donning her infamous "Akagiyama-23" battlesuit and challenging A-ko to a duel, devastating the school and much of Graviton City in the process.

Meanwhile, Earth is being threatened by a massive spaceship piloted by a race of female aliens from the Lepton Kingdom of Alpha-Cygni, who have come to Earth to retrieve their long-lost princess. Oddly enough, the princess turns out to be none other than C-ko; she is kidnapped by an alien operative known as "D" in the middle of A-ko and B-ko's fight and taken aboard the spaceship.

A-ko and B-ko agree to put aside their differences long enough to rescue C-ko. They successfully infiltrate the spaceship, but, as soon as C-ko is found, B-ko reneges on her earlier truce and attacks A-ko, instigating a gunfight between herself and the alcoholic Captain Napolipolita. The spaceship's navigation system is damaged in the crossfire, causing it to crash into Graviton City. The girls, D, and the captain barely escape, crash-landing right into Graviton High.

The next morning, an exhausted A-ko wakes up for school. A brief glimpse of A-ko's parents is shown; they appear to be none other than American superheroes Superman and Wonder Woman, an apparent explanation for A-ko's superhuman abilities. C-ko joins A-ko, and the two girls walk to school, remarking on the alien spaceship that now dominates the skyline of Graviton City. As the credits begin to roll, there is a final glimpse of B-ko standing outside the school, smiling evilly.
