In another time...
A human village stood in a remote land, where dinosaurs roamed freely.
This was Utakata village, ruled by the arrogant queen Larsa.
Humans co-existed with the dinosaurs, and enjoyed a peaceful existence within their small kingdom.
One day, this village was attacked by the Koju.
These were insect Koju, alien to the region.
They used their great bodies to smash human homes, blasting them with toxic "levitation energy" and laying waste to the village.
To protect his country, Aki, the first son of Larsa, fought against the attack.
Aki used his talents for taming animals to train dinosaurs to fight the Koju.
The war went on for years.
When the Koju retreated, more would appear to take their place.
They pressed the attack relentlessly...
Aki set off for Shinju Forest on his own, where the god of the Koju was said to reside, to learn why the Koju were attacking the village.
Some time after Aki had left the kingdom, the Koju attacks stopped.
However, Aki had not returned.
Queen Larsa awaited the return of her beloved son.
For immeasurably long months, she waited.
Among her many princes, the brave and sharp Aki was special to the Queen.
Aki was her only heir.
Surely he would return.
She swore to herself: if only he would come back, everything would be right once more and the throne could be passed to him.
Alas, a cruel report was delivered from the Shinju Forest search party.
Aki had been killed by Princess Reco, of Hoshifuri village.
"How dare she...murder...my beloved Aki!
Your days are numbered little princess!"
The Queen planned an expedition to Shinju Forest.
This forest was ruled by Koju and filled with volatile levitation energy; it could not be attacked head-on.
There, the queen had a revelation.
"Why not send my simple little Palm...muhahaha"
Pawn to his mother's ambitions, Palm was the 8th and youngest prince of the realm.
He was pure and unaffected, and adored his mother. Yet for the Queen, Palm could never be Aki, and he was nothing more than one prince among many.
"Your gentle brother has been maliciously murdered by an ugly little girl from Shinju forest."
So the queen stirred up Palm's hatred.
"If you can lure this Reco out of Shinju forest, the throne will be yours for the taking."
For Palm, the Queen's proposal was an unprecedented opportunity.
Here he could play the critical role of taking revenge for his brother, and inherit the throne to prolong his life and rise in the ranks...
"Mother, I swear: I will bring that girl back to you!"
The next morning, Palm hopped on his favorite dinosaur and set off to Shinju Forest in high spirits.
...There were other princes who could inherit the throne.
Surely it would be no loss for one to fall in battle.
These were the foolish thoughts of the Queen.

Recently she's been trying to increase her Burst Seed throw distance.
KINIRO
A Rhinoceros Beetle Koju who carries the "sacrifice".Its role is to fly Princess Reco to the god of the Koju.
Thanks to Reco's bracelet, Kiniro can connect to the life force of the "sacrifice" and communicate with her.
Relatively well-behaved and quiet, Kiniro has no mercy when its life is in danger.
Particularly unfriendly towards Koju of the Stag Beetle type, Kiniro is quick to start a fight.
KOJU
A general term for the giant arthropods that flourish across this land.Mostly inhabiting forested areas, some Koju also live in the desert.
Migrating across a wide berth of forests and deserts, the Koju sprout vegetation from their bodies when they die, bringing green to lands in which it had disappeared.
Under their armored wings, the Koju possess an organic power known to humans as "levitation energy", which allows them to fly and can be shot as a weapon. Bullets of this levitation energy can also be brought to bear against enemies from the outside world.
AKI
A young man who once lived in Hoshifuri Village. Now, as the "King of the Koju", he is charged with keeping the forest Koju from wandering into the village.Aki is a relaxed and quiet boy who likes taking walks.
