[edit] Story
In the future, a form of energy known as "Matter" becomes the world's primary source of power. At some point, a weapon called a "Glade" is developed that absorbs Matter from the atmosphere and forms it into a weapon. When the weapon formed by the Glade makes contact with another object it emits a sound. Over time the art of fighting with Glades, known as "Grapping" becomes the world's most popular sport. The story follows 4 characters on their own individual quests to become "Major Grappers".
