The Micronauts find themselves trapped in a dreamworld where they are being attacked by green humanoid creatures called weirdlings. Each of them succumbs to nightmarish scenarios that are projections of their personal fears before being restored whole by the Entity who then converts them to mindless servants dressed as the original X-Men. Meanwhile, the X-Men arrive to Homeworld with Baron Karza aboard Bioship where he remains to help create additional dog soldiers to fight the Entity while the X-Men take Bioship to seek out the Entity. They eventually find their destination thanks to Bioship’s psychic link to Arcturus Rann and land on a planet where they encounter a house that appears to be a replica of Xavier’s School for Gifted Mutants but discover that their size is diminutive. They breach the door to the mansion to discover the full sized mind-controlled Micronauts dressed in X-Men garb and an evil facsimile of Professor X. They battle with the Micronauts but are eventually defeated as Professor X turns into the Entity and elicits a dire warning regarding his demented games while back on Homeworld, Baron Karza regains full control of his armor and seeks to act immediately.
