Succeeding his plan, Maltazard used the telescope, destroying it in the process, to enlarge himself to human size while trapping Arthur in his small size. Accompanied by Selenia and Betameche, Arthur remembered an enlarging potion at his house and attempts to get it. However, Maltazard is aware of it as well and intends to use it to enlarge his followers to begin his conquest of the town. Maltazard succeeds, but Arthur returns to human form using an Elixir of Life from a queen bee after getting another kiss from Selenia. Archibald convinces Darkos to switch sides and enlarges him with a second potion he had hidden. Arthur makes his way to town and battles Maltazard with the help of Darkos who stays true to his word. Using another potion that Archibald had that shrinks things and a bee, Selenia and Betameche shrink Maltazard back to his Minimoy size and Arthur captures him as the US army shows up and defeats Maltazard's forces. Maltazard remains a prisoner of Arthur's family and every Sunday Arthur's grandmother Daisy brings him a piece of pie as she promised him, but leaves it outside his prison where he can't reach it.
