In the
near-future on planet Earth, a world gone mad where never-ending war is
a fact of life, Kirio is the coolest kid at school. Up in the sky, a
giant robot is fighting a fleet of gunships, but the brilliant and
distant Kirio is far from fazed–until the battling robot makes an
unexpected landing in Kirio’s front yard.
As Kirio witnesses an object
falling from the sky, he is interested to fin out what it is. It turns
out to be a robot girl named Q-Ko. Kirio takes her home and hides her in
the closet. Meanwhile, Kirio's mother is in charge of the military
operation dealing with two different types of aliens battling on Earth.
One is the robot doll (Q-Ko) and the other are three aliens that the
American forces released.
Later, when Q-Ko reveals the Kirio that she is
broken, she transforms into a huge version of her smaller self and he
climbs inside. As they fly around, they are attacked by the three
aliens. A few more of the doll robots are found by some of Kirio's
friends and join the battle
