Rocket Raccoon, Wal Rus, Lylla, and Pyko are now in possession of the Wonder Toy helmets created by the Head Robot of Halfworld after it had determined a cure for the Loonies when it was fed the Halfworld Bible. They begin to engage with the Loonies and pass out the helmets after giving them their sales pitch. One "Loonie", however, is a Killer Clown in disguise and sends a message back to Mayhem Mekaniks to report on the existence of the Wonder Toy which presents a threat to the planet's toy manufacturing business. At Mayhem Mekaniks, Judson Jakes greets the arrival of Lord Dyvyne with the terrible news of the Wonder Toy and the continued existence of the troublesome Rocket Raccoon and his companions. They agree that he must be dealt with using the full extent of their combined forces. Meanwhile, Rocket and his companions realize that the helmet is doing its intended job and allowing the Loonies to reach a sense of normalcy. Despite this, the forces of Judson Jakes and Dyvyne soon arrive and begin their attack. Their robot horse goes to seek aid from the other robots of Halfworld but Rocket and his crew feel that they won't return in time because they are hopelessly outnumbered. Blackjack O'Hare suddenly shows up to help them despite their previous disagreements. The battle continues when the Great Humanoid Starship suddenly lands and numerous robots and humans join the fray to help Rocket and his companions. The battle is won by the robots and humans and Judson Jakes and Dyvyne are dumped in a discard heap outside of Mayhem Mekaniks by their Drakillar mount. Afterwards, Rocket and his companions rejoice with the now intelligent and sane humans. The animals and robots, no longer needing to be the humans' caretakers decide to take the starship and leave the Keystone Quadrant System to find adventure elsewhere.
