Story[]
Astro, Uran, Professor Ochanomizu, and Astro's classmates board a satellite called the Galileo 2, which is heading towards Saturn's moon Titan. When Astro's group arrives, they discover Dr. Tadejou, an astronomer who became disenchanted with humans and relocated to an outpost on Titan. He is accompanied by his preteen granddaughter, Yuna, who grew up on Titan listening to Tadejou's stories of the stars. The two are still waiting for their robot friend, Alfie, who left the outpost long ago to investigate a star but never returned.
While the trip continues, little does Astro's group know that a two million year old creature named Igza lies in wait in Titan's seas. Igza was a humanoid born in space, and has gradually become mechanical due to a virus affecting his body. Now, Igza aspires to absorb Astro's power in order to wipe out humanity.
It is up to Astro to protect his human friends and take down Igza before he can reach Earth.
