The young man known simply as Rey is a wander living in the wastelands created by the conflict with the Inbit. He relies solely upon himself, salvaging what he needs from the ruins while avoiding the Inbit. However he soon runs into Stick Bernard, who had just crashed to Earth. He soon realizes that Stick is different from others he&#039;s met on Earth, Stick believes that simply lying down and taking the Inbit&#039;s dominion is wrong and has the skills and the mecha to help prove it. Along the way other soon join Stick, and Rey finds a place within the group. He also meets the young firebrand Houquet Emrose, and at many turns tries to win her love. By the end of the series he is finally able to make it past her built up emotional armor and show that he truly loves her. Put down by many fans due to his somewhat lacking piloting skills, but this just belies his role as both sometimes comedy relief and other times moral support. He keeps the hopes of the team up at many junctions, and we feel for him as he tries to win Houquet&#039;s heart.  

The story takes place in the 21st century. Due to the fact that pollution was becoming a major problem, scientists had developed the use of hydrogen fuel called "HBT" as an alternative to fossil fuels. At this time humans have colonized Mars in search of new place to call home as a result of overpopulation. In the year 2050, a mysterious alien race called the Inbit invaded the Earth. Unable to fight the Inbits, Earth became desolate with only a few pockets of human beings scattered throughout the planet. Many of the refugees escape aboard a few remaining shuttles to seek shelter on the Moon. The Inbit set up their main base of operations in the Great Lakes area of North America called "Reflex Point".<br><br>
