Shiki is a boy who's always dreamed of making new friends from outside the Granbell Kingdom, his amusement park home filled with robots.

In need of a more space-worthy ship, they decide to pay a visit to Rebecca and Happy's dear old friend Professor Weisz on the planet Norma...and somehow wind up traveling 50 years back in time!
