But it seems Jack's daydreams of action and adventure will remain just that: daydreams.Until his 12th birthday, that is. That's when Thomas, the annoying kid from school, stumbles upon a weird machine that sends a beam of light into the sky.

Through his new companions, Jack learns of the mysterious Gradius Clench, a precocious superspy and the universe's most wanted kid. And he looks just like Jack! Now, the race is on to find this elusive Gradius Clench — through fantastic landscapes, seedy pirate hideaways, and worlds Jack could only imagine — and maybe, just maybe, figure out how Jack fits into all of this...
