In a dystopian Earth, Retro and Pandy awaken naked with no memory of their former lives, yet they possess extraordinary physical abilities that set them apart from everyone around them. The duo slips into a brief but brutal crime spree, driven by hunger for food, clothes, and transportation as they move through the neon-lit streets of downtown Tokyo. Their rampage is short-lived, and they are swiftly caught, ending up in the notorious Dead Leaves, a prison orbiting on the half-destroyed Moon.
Inside the crumbling facility, life is harsh and regimented. Inmates are subjected to forced labor, constraining straitjackets, and a daily routine that even includes mandatory defecation, all under the iron fist of the warden Galactica and the vigilant eyes of the prison guards, 666 and 777. The atmosphere is claustrophobic and relentless, a place where memory and humanity are often secondary to survival.
As their confinement stretches on, Retro and Pandy begin to uncover a shocking truth: Dead Leaves is more than a prison—it is also a cloning facility. This revelation amplifies the stakes, turning their captivity into a web of experimentation and hidden agendas. The pair decide to act, orchestrating a mass prison break that shakes the very foundations of the facility. In the midst of this upheaval, they recall further memories, hints that they once served as spies who worked at the facility, adding a layer of intrigue to their previously unknown identities.
The conflict with Galactica escalates as she attempts to exact revenge on Pandy by reviving a deranged fairy tale from her childhood, a manipulation designed to destabilize them and tip the odds in her favor. In the chaotic confrontation, Pandy gives birth to Retro’s mutant child, a startling newborn who emerges with a pair of machine guns and a lethal resolve. The unexpected infant swiftly turns the tide, killing Galactica in a moment of shocking violence.
Tensions reach a fever pitch as Galactica, displaying a startling transformation, absorbs 666 and 777 and evolves into a giant caterpillar creature. Yet even as the creature seems unstoppable, the mutant baby infiltrates the caterpillar’s body, bringing about the destruction of the monstrous form and the station it inhabits. In the aftermath, Retro and Pandy manage to escape the collapsing complex, their flight culminating in a crash-landing that sends them back toward Earth, marking the end of one perilous chapter and the uncertain start of another.
