Description:
The story of Zaion is set four years after a meteorite introduces
a virus that irreversibly alters the molecular structure of the human body and
turns its victims into violent creatures. In an effort to eradicate the
infestation that has claimed 3 percent of the human population, the Committee
of the Universal Resolution of Ecocatastrophe (CURE) creates a unit of soldiers
whose bodies have been introduced with machinates.
These soldiers, wearing Nano Osmolar Armor
(NOA), engage the victims in direct combat. As the missions begin to take a
toll on the unit's ranks, NOA soldier Yuuji Tamiya becomes angry at CURE
for not employing a newly developed weapon. The weapon is a girl named Ai who
is able to create a projected being that can destroy the creatures. During the
next outbreak, victims of the virus fuse together into a larger creature and
overwhelm the soldiers. CURE decides to put Ai's ability to the test, and the
projected being destroys the creature.
Yuuji is quarantined after coming in contact with one of the
creatures but is released when he recovers from his injuries. However, his blood
tests later indicate that the virus has evolved and is attacking the
nanomachines in his body. CURE orders for Yuuji's arrest, but he escapes and
takes Ai hostage. When his condition worsens during the journey, Ai heals him
with her powers. The other NOA soldiers catch up to the two and help them
escape, but they are soon found by CURE units. Unwilling to see Yuuji and the
others hurt, Ai decides to leave with the CURE soldiers. At the NOA facility,
the infected soldiers become victims of the virus as the nanomachines are
destroyed. Yuuji is forced to fight them and the CURE units sent to kill them
at the same time. Ai finds out that Yuuji is in danger and asks that she be
taken to the facility. She realizes her feelings for Yuuji and projects them
with her powers to eliminate the virus. A larger outbreak occurs elsewhere in
the city, and the virus further evolves to mimic the nanomachines' abilities.
Yuuji delays the creatures' advance as Ai creates the projected being once
again. She uses all her power to purge the infected area of the virus. In an
epilogue, both Yuuji and Ai are discharged from CURE and spend time together.
