The pilot follows fifteen year-old Aika, a self-proclaimed “normal girl of average talent”, as she begins her first day of high school. While talking with her new friend Zira in the cafeteria, Aika’s ordinary day is interrupted by the entrance of magical villain Eclipse. When Zira tries to protect Aika from his attack, Aika is forced to reveal herself as magical girl Star Guardian: Guardian of the Stars. Though Zira is delighted by Aika’s magical girl identity, Aika herself is unenthusiastic, quickly dispatching Eclipse using a magically-summoned lead pipe. Eclipse teleports away after his defeat and converses with the woman who empowered him, Lady DeVoid, who is pleased to hear that he was able to find Aika.
