Plot
One peaceful day, Stella is working as part of a Criminal Reformation Force, where she rehabilitates criminals human and beastman alike into helpful citizens. After failed attempts at training three beastman criminals, she is approached by an alien called Priest Cherub, the leader of an alien race called the Deus Ex. He asks Stella for help in gathering the Sacred Orbs (now scattered thanks to Rosetta's actions), which are the only hope for his dying alien race, and in exchange he uses the resources of his people to unlock Stella's "special powers."

Stella and the three criminals noticed the skies turning red, and from it came the aliens known as the Deus Ex, and they were not as benevolent as they expected them to be. Stella then turns down the offer and then goes off to help her friends. With his attempt to control Stella failed, Priest Cherub then unveils a backup plan...

Main Characters

 * Stella Squarelight: The protagonist of the game's Souls Mode. She is capable of transforming into her gargoyle form. Throughout her mode, she helps anyone in need and combats the Deus Ex aliens.
 * Matthew Rollins: A timid young man who used to cause destruction towards the people with his sniping abilities. He became a part of Stella's rehabilitation program, and ended up siding with her in the fight against the Deus Ex aliens. Matthew's beast form is the hedgehog.
 * Claude Vicken: An emotionless man known for killing people in the shadows. Like the other three, he participated in Stella's rehabilitation program and became a part of her team to battle the Deux Ex. Claude can transform into a basilisk lizard.
 * Albert Hayfield: A chubby man who usually stole money because the farm he was working for was not making anymore than he should. He was able to change his ways thanks to Stella's program, and now makes up for it by helping her fight against the Deus Ex. Albert's beast form is the boar.
 * Mind Blotling: The protagonist of the game's Minds Mode. Mind is a Darkling hybrid created by the Deus Ex, made to mimic the same abilities as Stella. She was awakened by Priest Cherub when his mind control failed to reach Stella. In this mode, Mind attacks the Neo Islands and tries to kill the heroes.
 * Xeros: He plans on creating another chimera plant greenhouse, but needs to get rid of the Deus Ex to do so. He tracks Stella and her team and follows them through means of a chimera carrying a monitor.
 * Commander Skyler: The highest-ranking officer of the G.E.N.U.S. He is one of the few who knows the secrets of Stella's past and loathes her for reasons unknown, at least until a certain level and is one of the bosses at the climax of Souls Mode.
 * Ozzy Colemann: Although he is a rival to Stella, he can ally with her on certain levels. Eventually he learns about his other friends being injured due to Mind's actions and became one of the bosses at the near end of Minds Mode.
 * Cherub's Cable: An extension of Priest Cherub's being and a "character" in the story who mainly just watches Mind and what happens throughout the game.
 * Priest Cherub: The leader of the Deus Ex and the game's main antagonist. The last remaining members of his kind were searching for another planet to repopulate, and found Earth. While there, he sees Stella and requests that she searches for the Sacred Orbs to save his people. When Stella turned down his offer, he then turns to Mind to complete the task for him. Eventually, he reveals that he wants the Sacred Orbs to build the tower of Tartarus, which appears every 15 years. Priest Cherub reveals that Stella herself is a Lightbeast, much like Ozzy, and yearns to use her power to save his people. He then paralyzed and moved to surrender Stella, Xeros, and the others to his offspring as meals; but Stella breaks free and regains her mobility, and chases him throughout his tower. As he transformed into Salvation Cherub, Stella transformed into a light version of her gargoyle form and successfully killed him and destroyed Tartarus.
