Satomi's deceased father, Professor Funabashi, is researching Seeds, a material that fell to Earth from the stars. That seed united with the Earth's life, giving incredible power to their host. However, when Seeds join with humans (or animals), it transforms them into ferocious monsters.
Satomi tries to research peaceful uses for Seeds, even as the world turns to chaos. However, there is a group secretly aiming to use the seeds for World Domination (tm) - Seed Satan. To protect Satomi, Aoi takes a Seed into her own body and becomes a superheroine. Her fight with the Satan troops begins. Her friends lend her power (including the student council morals committee.)
