Plot

Within the Entropy Cloud, the Heliopolis is attacked by a group of Reptos, which were on the planet Sauria when it was swallowed by the cloud, and assumed to have all died. The Reptos manage to break into the ship and attacks the crew, however, by working together they are able to defeat most of the Reptos. The group are however grabbed by some Reptos, who prepare to kill them when a Time Traveler appears to them, and uses his powers over time to destroy all the Reptos  in the ship, and causes the ones still outside to flee.

The crew try to get some information out of the Time Traveler, but he shows them a glimpse into their histories, and even shows them most of their (probable) deaths, and an image of the Earth, outside of this universe, before vanishing himself.

The group continue on their way towards the centre of the Entropy Cloud where they hope to find the cause of it, and want to save the Microverse.

The closer they get to the centre, the more debris they locate, however despite the debris being of modern machinery, they have aged a lot faster than they should have.

The ship is hailed by another vessel, and it's revealed to be the Micronaut's enemy, Baron Karza, who claims to have been waiting for them for years, despite them having only seen him days before, he tells them that he doesn't want to fight, and instead reveals that he has located what lies at the middle of their universe, and the Entropy Cloud, it is the body of the creator of the Microverse....the Cybertronian Micronus Prime....

Notes

• Quick disclaimer: I haven't read issues 1-6 of Micronauts yet, but I have ordered them to start collecting the series, so if I get any details wrong here due to that, I am sorry.
• Since Micospace was created by Micronus Prime, it's possible that the Reptos, a species that looks like a melding of mechanical and organic materials, have something to do with Nexus and Onyx Prime, as they were shown in the past to be trying to merge their two niches (beasts and combiners)
• So...the time travellers can actively affect time to the point of causing individuals to turn to dust within seconds? That is actually frightening!
• Though it could just be the word chosen to describe the cloud, the word entropy has been used in Transformers media to represent The Fallen/Megatronus, so due to the other "Thirteen" relationship here, I wonder if he has something to do with the cloud surrounding Micronus?
• An explanation for why Baron Karza beat the Micronauts to Micronus' boy could be due to time dilation and Micronus simply acts like a black hole, making time go faster or slower at different points.
• Remember when looking at the image of Micronus Prime, Mini-Cons are usually around the size of a human, so 4-7 foot normally...you cannot even see the Micronaut's ship on him without magnification!
