Be back in the microverse, the Micronauts fights the Acroyear warriors and Karza's soldiers. Complete summary (with Spoilers): After its passage in the Prometheus Pit, the Endeavor comes out of the spacewall in a middle of an acroyear battle-fleet. Their star-craft imprisoned by a tractor beam, the Micronauts are towing to Spartak, planet of the Acroyears. But, instead of being attacked like they thought by the warriors faithful to Prince Shaitan, the heroes and especially Acroyear are saluted. In fact, the people of Spartak were brainwashed and became the followers of Baron Karza and Prince Shaitan. Luckily, the brainwashing was lifted three days ago and they placed the traitor Shaitan in chains, waiting for his judgment. On Homeworld, taking advantage of the absence of Baron Karza, Prince Argon (as Force Commander) and Slug lead the rebellion. Help by the Shadow Priests, they swoop down on the Body Banks, symbols of Karza's power. Karza has detected the return of Commander Rann into the microverse. So, he leads his space fleet to Spartak to capture the leader of the Micronauts and the Champion of the Enigma Force. Upon his arrival , his spacecrafts immediately shoot towards the Acroyears' planet. The battle of Spartak has begun. Acroyear, having regained his place as King of Spartak, and his lover Cilicia, quits his friends to enter the Crystal Chamber where he must live or die defending his planet. The other Micronauts join in the space battle. Arcturus Rann, seeing Karza, tries to shoot him but the Baron's force field seem unbreakable. In a desperate act, the champion of the Enigma Force throws his space fighter into it but, once again, the force field resists. Mari, Biotron, Microtron and Bug watch with horror as the fighter falls into pieces, with few hopes that their leader survived. With their leader apparently dead, King Acroyear sealed in a strange room, and Karza's army taking advantage of the Acroyear warriors, the Micronauts seem engaged in a desperate battle.
