[edit]The "Second Great World War Parodius" that led the world into a fit of laughter ended more than 50 years ago. Three military organizations: "The Alliance Penta", "Organization Koitsu and Aitsu" and "Alliance Araji" have kept each other in check secretly, and as a result, peace is maintained through this delicate balance. However, this stability begins to crumble when a mysterious cat named John Myan Jiro begins to interfere in these relationships. The three organisations are then needed to win the "Third Great War of the World Parodius" for peace and honor of their respective countries.
