The Toy War has broken out across parts of Halfworld and Rocket Raccoon, Wal Rus, and Lylla are caught in the middle of it accompanied by Blackjack O'Hare. Fleeing in the Rakk 'n' Ruin, they find themselves an easy target and are forced to find a place to hide. O'Hare recommends a hole in the Bad Lands but it requires them to sacrifice the ship. Inside the hole, they find a pack of Wild Worms and decide to use the worms to transport them across the planet through the underground tunnel. Meanwhile, Judson Jakes and Lord Dyvyne speak on a video call and come to a tenuous truce while seeking to ensure Rocket Raccoon and Lylla are properly dealt with. Rocket, Wal, Lylla, and Blackjack arrive beneath Central City and shoot to the surface where they enter a cantina and find Pyko who reveals that he has uncovered the secrets of the Halfworld Bible. Pyko tells that in it is revealed that the original settlers of Halfworld, the human Shrinks had sought a world to treat their mentally deranged patients. They built the Asylum as their headquarters but their funding was cut off by their home planet. They left the patients behind but placed robot caretakers there to look after them and isolated the planet by constructing the Galacian Wall. The robots acquired intelligence and genetically modified the animal pets left by the Shrinks to make them intelligent to look after the Loonies while the robots built toys and worked on construction of the Great Humanoid Starship. After Pyko relays these details, the group is ambushed by Blackjack and a team of other animals he calls the Awful Eight. Pyko helps them escape by unleashing an autoblaster hidden in his shell onto the Awful Eight. They escape and ultimately come to the Assembly Line where the Head Robot of Halfworld resides. Pyko thinks that by feeding the Halfworld Bible to the robot, it will absorb the knowledge of the Shrinks and possibly enable them to find a cure for the Loonies.
