Plot

Oz, and the Biotron unit he is in collapse from the stab wound, one of the other MOD Acroyears objects to the change in their mission, as Oz was supposed to be captured alive, but Raith kills the Acroyear, and engages in battle with the Micronaut Acroyear, and claims that if Oz wants to stay alive, he has to do so by himself.

Oz is dying when suddenly he finds himself inside the Entropy Cloud, facing a Time Traveler, who speaks in riddles, but alludes to Oz needing to enter the Entropy Cloud physically to save the universe, much to Oz's irritation.

Oz wakes up, fully healed much to everyone's shock, allowing Acroyear to knockout Raith. The Biotron unit begins to go on a rampage, and begins acting and speaking on his own, again to everyone's surprise. Biotron leads the crew to the Heliopolis, and they launch it out of the outpost to find themselves in the midst of a full on battle between the two Ministries.

Inside the outpost, the two Barons fight it out, but Karza manages to defeat (and maybe kill) Daigon. Karza is soon informed that Raith went against orders and tried to kill Oz, which led to him escaping, much to Karza's anger.

Oz explains what happened when he was "dead" and tells the other Micronauts that he has to enter the Entropy Cloud to save the universe, which the others agree to join him on, as they enter the cloud, unsure what will happen...

Karza, unwilling to allow Oz to escape before he can use his powers for his own use, he jumps through the window of the outpost and follows them in centaur mode into the cloud....

Notes

• The Time Traveler seen in this issue looks different to the one who appears in the Revolution tie-ins. It could be a different one, but why?
• It's implied that Oz healed his own stab wound, as that was Shazraella's plan from the dialogue from Raith.
• As well as healing his death-wound, he also seeped his own sentience into the Biotron unit, giving him a personality similar to his own, and can act on his own accord without orders or a pilot now.
• So...I guess the Ministry of Science fixed the Heliopolis whilst they had it in storage then?
• Like with Karza's centaur mode last issue, Daigon has his own version, which is based on the "Force Commander" toy that can combine with his own horsie named Oberon.
• I don't know if Karza killed Daigon in this issue, but if he did, then he LITERALLY face-palmed him to death....I kinda hope he did now....
• This issue leads directly into Revolution: Micronauts
