Plot

Oz wakes up to find himself in a giant vehicles, being driven away by Dr Dell, along with the rest of his crew and their ship sitting comfortably on the back seat. Dell speeds away from the facility to get the Micronauts to safety, but is soon attacked by the security team from the facility, who try to run her off the road.

Microtron needs the car to be kept still whilst he makes his repairs, so Acroyear and Phenolo-Phi fly off to attack the other humans, managing to cause them to crash. Unfortunately two attack helicopters appear and attempt to stop them, but the Micronauts take off in their patched up ship, thanking the doctor for her help, despite neither understanding each other.

The Heliopolis manages to easily disable the helicopters, and speeds away, looking for another space bridge to return to Microspace with. Microtron reports that he's located what seems to be traces of the Entropy Cloud in a forest nearby, so they go to investigate it, despite all of them being unnerved by the idea of re-entering the cloud.

Later, they arrive at the location, and Microtron detects signs of Microspace civilization and life below, interested, the crew decide to investigate, leaving Microtron behind to watch the ship.

The crew investigate some ancient Microspace scaled architecture, and realize that it's thousands of years old before being surrounded by a colony of winged insect-like beings, led by one of the Time Traveler's sarcophagus' on walking legs, claiming to have been waiting for them to arrive for some time now....

Notes

• Phen shows that she can recalibrate her space glider suit to adapt to Earth's wind, this seems to be using her helmet which I would guess has some mind reading skills
• Phen and Acroyear cause two military vehicles to crash into each other here...I wonder if any humans got hurt?
• I hope we see Dr Dell again in the future, she was fun!
• Larissa implies that she doesn't know where Acroyear gets his sword from, despite it being shown before that he pulls it from subspace...could this be a subtle hint to her true nature?
• The Micospace colony on Earth appears to be filled with Nepos, at least that's what they're called in the toy line.
• The "Time Traveler" at the end uses the black text box that is normally used for robots, implying that this is just a robot using one of their sarcophagus'
