The story is about Takashi Katori and his best friend Sarah, who began as mere online game fans and created a small virtual world to develop their games. They would play by sending data using satellite technology. One day while they were playing, a scientific experiment involving teleporting a plane from Japan to New York using the same satellite was being conducted. In a freak accident, the plane that was converted into digital information was sent to Sarah's computer while Takashi Katori's robot information was rematerialized into a real robot.
Takashi is caught and captured, but later the Earth Government discovers that Dr. Godheim, an evil scientist from the Moon (now a sort of abandoned colony with restricted access) is hacking into virtual worlds and security. The government forces Takashi to pilot the virtual robot Laserion and protect the Earth with Sarah's help. In the end, the whereabouts of Takashi's love, Olivia, becomes a matter of concern.
