A kinetic, visually inventive anime short about schoolkids with alien creatures caught in an escalating supernatural conflict.

A giant monster sends a town's citizens into a panic, except for a girl named Yuki and her schoolmate Tetsu. Tetsu happens to have his own strange creature named Cenco as a pet. Another boy named Shuu controls the monster threatening the town, and the stage is set for a battle.
