Haggar briefs King Zarkon of the Omega Comet, a comet that acts like a black hole. Long ago, Voltron had put away the comet in a far corner of the universe. Zarkon is skeptical, having heard this as a fairy tale when he was growing up. But Haggar informs him the comet was sighted in Sector G-29. The witch suggests that it is the perfect weapon to destroy planet Arus, and Prince Lotor orders Mogor to bring Princess Romelle. A ship to retrieve the Omega Comet is already on its way. Somewhere in Castle Doom, Zarkon informs Haggar and Lotor that Romelle had warned Arus about the comet.
