In the year 199X, in the village of Onett, on the continent of Eageland...

Young Ness was asleep one night when a loud crashing noise awoke him suddenly. As he rushes out of bed and up to a nearby hill, he encounters a strange meteor, carrying a single passenger: a mysterious insect-like being named Buzz Buzz. Buzz Buzz tells him that in the future, an evil alien being known as Gigyas has conquered the world, and the only one who can stop him are 4 young kids: 3 boys and a girl. Ness, of course, is one of the chosen ones...

Ness now must find the other three children: Paula, a young girl from Twoson with remarkable psychic powers, Jeff, a mechanical genius from Winters, and Poo, the young Prince of Dahlaam. Together, these four friends have the power to defeat Gigyas and save the world from his chaotic reign!
