A hero force known as the Magical Defenders! had saved Earth from an unknown enemy known as the 'Disaster', a bunch of monster-like robots who would wreck havoc using their lasers. Ever since the Magical Defenders beat them all, everyone slowly went back to peace again, while others were becoming a bit cautious.

Two years have passed since the events of the Magical Defenders! series. Since all the Disaster are gone now, everyone has gone back to their peaceful lives without a worry. STRIKE begins with a new protagonist, Kaede Kurebayashi, who is moving out of her previous town to move back to Irodori City, a small city where she was both born and raised in.

In Irodori City, there lies a large engineering company known as 'AZURE FUTURE TECH.'. While they appear to be just a normal company to produce and design technology, there is actually a secret base underneath the building, which is currently working on a 'STRIKE IGNITION' project.
