The Conquest of Kaliklak!
The Micronauts ponder their next destination aboard the Bioship, despairing that Homeworld is out of their grasp when Bug suggests they venture to his home world of Kaliklak to seek aid. Upon arrival, they discover the planet being showered with some kind of organic pods, some of which hit the Bioship and reveal an attack of Battle-Beetles. After fighting them off, they land on the planet’s surface to discover the extent of the invasion and Bug recommends seeking allies to assist at his old hideout. Upon arrival at the hideout, Bug finds Jasmine’s younger sister who is now grown up and offers the help of the Micronauts to go defend the unborn queen from the beetle invasion.
Meanwhile, both Arcturus Rann and Baron Karza plead their case before the Time Travelers who are unwilling to choose sides. They decide to grant them both the power of the Enigma Force but after their exposure to this power and their unwillingness to accept the dramatic change in perspective it gives them, they acknowledge the only path forward is to meet man to man as mortals in the Microverse.
On Kaliklak, the Micronauts and Bug’s former companions decide to use giant Battle-Bats to hitch a ride to the hatchery to mount their defense of the unborn queen. Upon arrival to the hatchery, they battle seemingly overwhelming odds to get to the queen’s nest but ultimately succeed in defending her. When she hatches, she praises the Micronauts for their defense of her and dubs Treefern a knight. The Micronauts beseech her for help against Karza, but she declines due to the ongoing fight against the Battle-Beetles across Kaliklak. Bug hopes Lady Treefern will join with the Micronauts but she remains behind to defend Kaliklak and the Micronauts leave. After doing so, Arcturus Rann awakens from his meditation and rejoins the group.
