Story
In the past... Two heroes stood up against the Destructor, the God of Ruin known as Golden Silver.
After a mighty battle, these heroes defeated the God of Ruin at the Moon. However, when the heroes defeated the God of Ruin, it exploded, resulting in the creation of four new moons that eventually began to orbit the Earth.
Many years passed, and the moons were colonized. And so began an era of prosperity.
However, a fifth moon has recently emerged. A "machine" moon created by an organization only known as the Empire.
This man-made satellite looms ominously. It is apparently a part of the Empire's master plan to resurrect the God of Ruin once more, its obsession since it's discovery of a relic known as the Megalith.
However, the Empire's plan hasn't gone unnoticed. On the Earth, the organization known as "3YE" has secretly created an elite unit to counter the Empire's plan.
In recognition of the past heroes, this elite unit has been given the codename "Gunstar Super Heroes."
