Summary
Sumner Sturgeon is the son of the renowned Bernard Sturgeon. Sumner starts out at a military training academy, dubbed New Wave (NW).
This is where he meets his love interest, a girl named of Ruri. Sumner’s teammate, and so called friend, Hooky, immediately gets jealous and challenges him for Ruri's heart in the championships of New Wave academy. At the championships, Sumner finds out that Ruri is leaving New Wave. She says that he wouldn't understand it until he owned his own LFO and leaves him with a kiss and a picture. Sumner later goes on to win the championships, only to be recruited by the illustrious Sawyer Team, the military branch that New Wave has been training him for. From there on out he pilots his LFO on various missions that test how well he knows his LFO, such as taking out a bandit group situated in mines, getting hard evidence against a black market trade, and protecting his city from various disruptions. Later on, Sumner’s old teammates, including Hooky, join Sawyer Team, and Hooky still dislikes Sumner. After a series of missions, Sumner eventually meets up with the characters from the anime, including Holland, to whom he gives the advanced Nirvash LFO he stole from the military to Moondoggie, who like Sumner appears in the sequel, and Eureka the future pilot of the Nirvash. Sumner later pilots the Nirvash in the final missions
