Earth, the near future. As the planet's natural resources dwindled and global warming ran rampant, mankind looked for new areas to source a sustainable energy supply. Charged with such an endeavour, scientists used the latest technology to burrow into a parallel dimension and drain the energy from it.

Humanity's survival lay in the hands of ten Detonators - massive, fully armed war-suits, capable of defeating the monsters. With the threat averted, the rich decided to leave Earth altogether and set up clean, pollution-free colonies, using their former home as a dumpsite for their waste. And Detonator X, the last of the Detonators, has been reduced to shovelling garbage...

After their prison escape, they must now seek a doctor to examine Ramone...
