In Daylight Shores, California, a boy named Alex Grant lives a peaceful life with his family. His grandfather Thomas, the inventor of the Manifestation Engine, is a smart yet eccentric scientist. Because of his invention, the world has entered a new era of peace. However, this peace didn't last for long. Suddenly without warning, an alien force known as the Alone attack and invade Earth. Their prime objective is to destroy the Manifestation Engine so that they can send the world into chaos. Despite the human military forces hitting them with all they've got, they prove to be no match to the Alone's immense power. Just when all hope seems lost, Thomas gives Alex a special key which will allow him to access the Vivid System, the only thing that can defeat the Alone. Now wearing a Palette Suit (a powered suit developed by Thomas that comes as a vital part of the Vivid System) and possessing abilities unlike anything he ever imagined, Alex fights to protect the world from the Alone. Hhe also recruits his classmates Nico Talavera, Desmond Nketiah and Faith Yao to join him in the fight.
==Characters==
===Main characters===
====Alex Grant (Lofton Shaw)====
Alex is a second-year high school student who is living together with his little sister and grandfather in DS. He works many part-time jobs to support her family in place of his mother and rides the world's only flying bike, that was made by his grandfather. Bright, energetic, honest and very athletic, he does have an odd habit of putting mayonnaise (especially the Japanese kind) on anything she eats. He is given the power to transform using the Vivid System, where he is adorned in red. He previously had a fear of heights following a factory explosion which killed his father and hospitalized his mother, but he overcame it in order to save Nico.
====Nico Talavera (Marcel Ruiz)====
Nico is Alex's classmate and best friend. He comes to Daylight Shores from Blue Island for medical treatment. He is the son of a wealthy family, and his parents are often too busy to visit Daylight Shores. He gains access to the Vivid System around the same time as Alex, his color being blue.
====Desmond Nketiah (Khleo Thomas)====
Desmond is a determined athlete and captain of Daylight Shores HS's basketball team. He is also a classmate of Alex's and is the president of his class. He is competitive and hates to lose, but he also loves cute things. He is a bit awkward because of his earnestness, and he often draws the short straw. He gains access to the Vivid System after resolving to fight alongside Alex, his color being green.
====Faith Yao (Kristen Li)====
Faith is a brilliant hacker and one of Alex's classmates. Following an incident when she was betrayed by a friend, she withdrew to her room and stopped coming to school, instead using a robotic camera to view classes. However, she soon starts coming back to classes after Alex helps her save a power plant, during which she gains access to the Vivid System, her color being yellow. She has a case of anthrophobia, and does not pay any attention to fashion or her appearance. She is a super hacker who favorites PCs and machines, enjoys factoryscapes and admires Thomas's work (hence her understanding of the Vivid System).
====Ezra Kane (Britain Dalton)====
Ezra is a quiet boy in Alex's class who is often alone and does not speak to others except for class. He does however like animals and owns a parakeet named "Skeet". He comes from another world that was allegedly obliterated, along with his parents. He is approached by a mysterious black crow who allegedly promises him that he would be able to restore his world if he assists the Alone in destroying the Manifestation Engine.

He has stated that whilst he does own various patents, he chooses not to profit from them as atonement for the accident that occurred seven years ago. He is the developer of the Vivid System, which allows Akane and the others to fight against the Alone.

She often punishes Rei for interacting with humans. In the last two episodes she transforms into an ultimate Alone, Fallen Angel.
==== Alone ====
:The Alone are a mysterious alien force from another dimension that takes many different forms and whose mission is to destroy the Manifestation Engine which, due to it providing 95% of the world's energy, will send the world into chaos if destroyed.
