When the security tries to shoot at Bem, Atom catches up just in time to shield him. Soon Professor Ochanomizu tells them to stop shooting, after the shooting seizes, Atom collapses from all the damage obtained.

On Earth, Atom and Bem become good friends, also enjoying performing heroic deeds together. However, one day Bem suddenly collapses and the rubbish star unexpectedly approached the Earth, causing the threat of a possible explosion from the collision. Defences try to destroy it, but to no success. Having failed, they consider Atom trying instead. The weakened Bem informs the star is looking for him, and decides to return to the star to protect the Earth from a collision. Of course the police agree with Bem's idea, but Atom does not want Bem to die, hoping for another way. However Bem ran away to go to the star anyway.

Atom follows Bem, whom is now connected to wiring on the rubbish star. Atom attempts to rip the wires out of Bem, attempting to save him but the star explodes, although a safe enough distance from Earth.

Atom and Bem assumed dead, Professor Ochanomizu grieves the apparent loss. However the two actually safely arrived back on Earth, having been shielded from the explosion of the star. The Professor welcomes them back, relieved.
