Twelve thousand years in the past, mankind was at mercy of the mythical creatures known as Shadow Angels (堕天翅 Datenshi), immortal winged beings with overwhelming powers and technology.

Apollonius joins forces with the humans to free mankind from oppression, by using the legendary giant fighting robot Aquarion (アクエリオン Akuerion).
