He is eventually found by a group of aliens who are able to fly their planet around after having removed it from its orbit. They left their galaxy because cosmic radiation has poisoned the atmosphere and they need another galaxy to live in. He becomes their leader and convinces them to invade Earth for revenge. After he arrives on Earth he finds that his girlfriend never believed he was guilty and still had faith in him. This causes him to reform and call off the invasion.

When Michael and the beings invade Earth, they attack with tidal waves, fires, gale force winds, and by unleashing the Tyrannosaurs'; who grow to normal size in Earth's atmosphere.
