| A sinister organization launches a wave of audacious attacks in an attempt to gain world domination. Commanded by the evil Professor Gill, masked androids and fearsome DARK Destructoid monsters terrorize some innocent victims and wreak havoc throughout Japan.
A solitary figure emerges to combat the menace.
