Agent Gold is assigned to investigate Project D, headed by Carbon who has trained millions of atoms to develop this plan. Together with Oxygen and Fluorine, Gold penetrates Carbon's secret school and finds atoms being drilled.
Gold finally meets the mysterious Chlorine. They try bonding with no success. Suddenly Carbon & his heavies arrive on the scene. Gold & Chlorine are able to escape, but wait - Chlorine has ionically bonded with Potassium.
In a secret location, Copper & Silver separate Chlorine from Potassium. Gold & Chlorine return to Carbon's secret school - but cannot find Fluorine & Oxygen. Carbon appears, and Gold and Chlorine flee to a nearby bond shop.
In the hideout, Chlorine is trapped in Carbon's buckyball & Gold is put behind bars. When released, Ethanol takes him on a guided tour of the completed Project D. It's giant DNA molecule which will bring Planet Earth to life.
