future, but I’m sure there’s a place for you. You just have to find it.”
    “He was my father. This was my home. It’s all I know,” Astro said sadly.
    “Everyone has their destiny, Toby,” Dr. Elefun said.
    “Didn’t you hear him? I’m not Toby,” Astro replied.
    He rocketed off the balcony, taking one last look at his home. Orrin rolled onto the balcony, gazing sadly at Astro.
    Astro flew off into the setting sun. He settled on the highest building he could find and sat there, thinking.
    He stared hard at his hands. He looked human. He felt human. Could he really be a robot?
    Blue light shot from Astro’s eyes, acting like an X-ray. Underneath his skin he could see a network of wires and circuits.
    “It’s true,” he murmured.
    Suddenly, blinding lights hit Astro’s eyes. He shielded himself from the glare. Two military planes were circling him.
    One of the pilots radioed President Stone’s Command Center.
    “Sir, we located the signal’s source, but it’s ... a kid. Readings for the Core are off the chart!”
    “Is that Tenma’s boy?” General Heckler asked.
    “Of course not!” President Stone fumed behind him. “Tenma must have lost his mind. Bring it in.”
    The pilot radioed the other plane. “This is Stinger One. Set weapons for capture.”
    The two planes approached Astro.
    “Oh no,” Astro said. In a shot, he rocketed off into the night.
    “Whoa! The subject just took off!” the pilot exclaimed.
    “Commander, engage the subject with intent to capture,” President Stone ordered.
    The planes took off after Astro. Green tentacles lined with suction cups shot out from the planes, trying to grab him. Astro dodged each one.
    “What do you guys want?” he called back.
    “Command Center. We have it in our sights!” the pilot reported.
    Astro dove down into Metro City to avoid the planes. They couldn’t fly low, but they sent their tentacles after him.
    One tentacle grabbed a dog by mistake. Another pulled a tablecloth off a table in a restaurant, leaving the dishes on top intact. The diners gasped in surprise.
    Astro flew over the park. A man was kneeling on one knee, about to propose marriage to his girlfriend. She sat on a park bench.
    Whoosh! A tentacle grabbed her, too.
    The pilot of the second plane radioed the Command Center. “This is Stinger Two. I’m ah ... gonna take all these things back.”
    “Get him!” President Stone shouted.
    Astro zipped around a building, disappearing from view. The pilot of Stinger One hovered in the air, confused.
    “Where’d he go?”
    Astro flew underneath both planes, bending their weapons so they couldn’t fire. Then he flew up and slammed into Stinger One’s windshield.
    “Eee-yaaah!” the pilot cried. He pressed every button on his controls, but all it did was turn on his windshield wipers. Astro grinned.
    Then he felt a tentacle wrap around his waist. He looked down to see the tentacles from both planes wrapped around him.
    “Oh no,” Astro said.
    “We’ve got him! We’re coming home!” said the Stinger One pilot.
    Astro struggled to get free of the tentacles. Then his eyes lit up. He had remembered something.
    His rockets were in the bottoms of his feet. He could fly up .
    “Haaaahhhhh!” Astro yelled.
    He shot straight up in the air, pulling both aircraft below him. The pilots screamed.
    Then Astro dove down between two skyscrapers, dragging the planes behind him. They slammed into the buildings. Astro flew forward now, pulling with all his might.
    “Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!”
    Astro pulled free from the tentacles. The force tore Stinger One in half. The pilot screamed as he fell through the sky.
    “Oh no!” Astro cried. He didn’t want anyone to get hurt. He zoomed to the soldier and caught him in midair.
    Back in the Command Center, President Stone was furious.
    “Send in the Spirit of Freedom,” he ordered.
    His advisors gasped in shock.
    “The Spirit of Freedom? That weapon doesn’t officially exist,
