Dr. Akamashi, a scientist, stages a coup in the Forland Kingdom, employing an army of beasts and two android minions. In his dying breath, the king orders his daughter, Princess Alita, to escape and locate her older brother, Prince Kaito, who is on a diplomatic mission abroad. By finding Kaito, Alita hopes to secure her safety and eventually reclaim the throne. During her flight, Alita dies and her spirit merges with that of Falis, a notorious bounty hunter, causing a body swap. Both retain their original skills and personalities, though their appearances are exchanged. The swap takes place in a forest where Falis is hunting, accompanied by her monstrous sidekicks Dominikov and Pete.
