Buzz leaned over the Science Bay bench, looking at X.R.'s pieces. The L.G.M.s gathered around.

"You can fix him, right?" Buzz asked them.

"Can we?" asked one L.G.M.

"I don't know," said another.

"Ever since Zurg kidnapped that Uni-Mind," said a third one, "I feel like a retard now."
"Oh, please try!" begged Buzz, getting on his knees. "I lost my blue-skinned person partner! I can't lose my robot partner! Oh, please! Please! Please!"

"All right, all right, we'll try!" snapped the Chief L.G.M.

Soon Buzz watched the L.G.M.s put his robot partner back together. He saw the torso being connected to the legs. Then the arms were connected. Then his metal face and his helmet went back on. Then they put inside him a rubber duck, an umbrella, plastic parts of the human body including a penis and a pair of breasts, a bunch of Starboy magazines, MacDonald's Toy Story toys and a load of other crap including pouring beer cans into his fuel cap.

"Whoa!" exclaimed Nebula, as he entered the Science Bay. "They really need that Uni-whatever-the-hell-it-is. That bastard, Zurg! Trying to cripple our operation!"

"If that's all Zurg wanted, Commander," said Buzz, "he would've just destroyed the Uni-Mind instead of having Agent Z waste time stealing it."

"Well, if he stole it," said Nebula, "I bet it's not good."
"Not good?" exclaimed Buzz. "I bet this is Zurg's most evil, most badass, most disgusting, most gross-out, yet easiest to defeat plan yet!"

"This is my most evil, most badass, most disgusting, most gross-out plan yet!" cried Zurg as he observed the Uni-Mind in his tower's observatory room.

"You forgot 'easiest to defeat'," moaned Brain Pod Arch.

"Well, depending on your brains," said Zurg, "we won't have to worry about that, will we? Speaking of brains, how close are you to accomplishing my plan?"
"Well, we got the Uni-Mind here," said Brain Pod Arch. "We just don't know how to turn it from good to evil."

"Well, find out now!" yelled Zurg.

"Maybe tomorrow," said Brain Pod Arch.

Zurg's eyes shot red lasers next to Brain Pod Arch. "(Bleep) you, Shit Brain!" he yelled. "And (beep) all my staff! 'If you want something turned evil, turn it evil yourself.' My wife, Nana Zurg, always said that to me. She was a moaner and a pain in the ass, but she was plenty evil."

Zurg moved to the Uni-Mind and put his metal wing on it. Where he touched it started to go purple and the purple grew and grew.

"There's a lot of evil overload, man!" cried Brain Pod Kenny, as he and the staff ran from the sparkling computers.

"Hurry up!" Zurg shouted to the Uni-Mind, as he kept holding his wing on it. "My arm's aching!"

Soon the good orange and green Uni-Mind was now a fully evil purple one now. "Nana Zurg would be so proud," Zurg sobbed happily.

"I thought red was meant to be the colour of evil," moaned Tim the grub.

Zurg's eyes were glowing red and aimed for Tim. "Are you saying I'm not evil enough?"

"No, no, no," said Tim. "I'm sure Jesus doesn't like purple either."

"All rangers, report to briefing room! All rangers, report to briefing room!"

Outside the briefing room, Booster was mopping. He was aware of something was happening as the rangers went past him.

"What's going on, guys?" he asked them.

"Sorry, can't talk," said one male ranger.

"Top secret," said one female ranger.

"Assuming all the alarms and the attentions," Booster shouted to the rangers who went through, "I take it this is the biggest and most dangerous mission for Star Command yet!"

"Well, if this makes you feel better for not joining this mission, Booster," said Buzz, as he past him, "the Rangers who train on levels one to six aren't going to be involved, either." Then the door closed behind him.

"Yeah, a fat lot of good that makes me feel," moaned Booster, as he picked up his bucket and slumped away.

On the briefing room table appeared a hologram of the Uni-Mind.

"This is the Uni-Mind for the L.G.M.s," said Buzz pointed out. "For some reason we don't know, but we can all amuse that is evil, Zurg's Agent Z stole the Uni-Mind."

"Well, I know one thing, for sure," said Nebula. "I plan to beat him to the punch."
"We're launching a full scale assault on Planet Z," added Buzz.

"Whoa! Full Scale?"

Everyone looked behind to see X.R. with three L.G.M.s.

"Buzz, don't jump to stuff that's gonna get blood or bolts and screws on your hands," said X.R. "I mean, did you ever think about negotiations?"

"X.R.?" Buzz knew this was not his robot partner.

"How about this, Buzz?" went on X.R. "Monday to Wednesday, the whole universe belongs to Zurg. But from Thursday to Saturday, it's ours. We share Sundays. What do you think?"

"Bloody hell fire!" Nebula shouted at the L.G.M.s. "What the hell did you guys do to him?"

"We think we fixed him," said one L.G.M.

"We also think we upgraded him," added another.

"That I'll agree with you," smiled X.R.

"Get that five-year-old piece of shit outta here!" order Nebula.

"I have the right to sue you for child abuse!" shouted X.R., as the L.G.M.s picked him up and walked out.

"You see why those green idiots need the Uni-Mind?" Buzz said the other rangers.

"No," said one ranger.

"I think they're just depressed from losing their orb," said a second ranger.

"I thought they were just being really thick as their three eyes together," said a third ranger.

Nebula cleared his throat. "So, anyway, as I was saying – "

"Excuse me, Commander," interrupted Mira. "I've been studying Planet Z and its defence systems and I was thinking that – "

"That a small one man space freighter can penetrate through the defences," Buzz finished. "And, with the Alpha One, I can – "

"Excuse me!" snapped Mira. "It was my idea. I should go!"

"Sorry, Princess, but you don't have the experience to take on a tough mission," said Buzz. "But, if this plan does work, you will get full credit for being the brains and that'd better be good for you, because you're not gonna get anything else."

"You know, you two really should be partners," said Nebula. "Because you're both good-looking, but stupid diva assholes!"

Buzz and Mira jumped. "But, Commander – "

"Shut up!" yelled Nebula. "Besides the Alpha One is an antique and my most favourite ship. Nobody's taking it. We're doing this battle my way. Star Command will launch a full scale assault at 0800 hours!"

"You mean we don't launch in 800 hours?" asked one ranger.

"No!" yelled Nebula. "We launch an attack in three hours."

On Planet Z, Zurg and Agent Z watched his minions working on the Uni-Mind.

"Soon the whole universe will be under my command!" he cheered himself.

"As long as Lightyear's around," said Agent Z, "I have my doubts."
"Well, try and be more like me," said Zurg. "A calm and cool chicken." Then he turned to his minions. "Get the Uni-Mind up there where it belongs!" he shouted at them.

Three little rockets took the Uni-Mind to the very top of a big gun on top of the tower and put it inside the muzzle.

"Right," said Zurg. "Prepare to fire a test shot."
The gun sounded like it was revving up and little purple sparks sparkled, but then everything went silent and still.

"I don't know what I did wrong," said Kendra the grub, who was the gun operator.

"Did you make sure that the red plus went to the plus part and the grey minus went to the minus end?" yelled Zurg, aiming his laser eyes for her.

Kendra quickly drove her scooter to the giant red battery and the plus and the minus were the wrong way round.

"I still can't tell," said Kendra. "I also suffer from colour blindness."

Zurg sighed. "Being an evil dictator had better be worth this."

Soon the whole space station was preparing for the battle of Planet Z.

The L.G.M.s was checking the rocket ships and the weapons, while the Space Rangers were preparing for battle. By meaning that, they were snoozing. Even the Commander was taking a nap.

In the Alpha One hanger bay, Mira came through the wall and walked to the ship. She reached the door and tried to open the door.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" snapped Buzz.

"I was just checking the door of this ship," Mira lied.

"Well, I have to take you to Nebula," said Buzz. "But first I'm gonna check that door, if that's all right with you."

Mira smiled. "Sure, sir."

She moved out of the way and Buzz went for the door. Then she put her hand on his head. Buzz's head started to glow and his eyes began to drift off. "Tengan brain freeze," he yawned. Then he fell to the ground.

"I thought of this plan, I got here first," Mira shouted at the unconscious Buzz, "and it's me who should have all the glory, not you!"

"Who the bloody hell authorized that launch?" shouted Nebula in his command deck, as he saw Alpha One fly away.

"Not one of us," said one L.G.M. "Was it?"

"Not me," said another.

"Not me," said a third. "I was alert all the time."
"I nodded off for five minutes," said a fourth L.G.M. "And I was leaning on my desk. So I must have pressed a button."

"It was the princess, Commander," said Buzz, walking to the commander. "I tried to stop her, but she brain-froze me."

"She's smarter than you think she is, huh?" smiled Nebula.

Buzz sighed. "All right, I admit it."
"Well, seeing as she's your partner, you'd better go and get her, son," said Nebula.

"Yes, sir." Buzz saluted and ran off. Then he came back. "But I still don't view her as my partner, sir."

Back on Planet Z, Kendra the grub was back at the targeting computer. "System's back online, my Evil Emperor," she reported to Zurg.

Zurg put his wing on her. "You sure this time?"

"The grubs who don't suffer from colour blindness say so," replied Kendra.

Zurg moved on. "Let's test it on something before we hit Star Command," he said to the minions. "We need a target that won't shoot back."

"May I suggest Planet Bean, man?" suggested Brain Pod Kenny.

"Mr. Bean's home planet!" cried Zurg happily. "Yes, hilarious suggestion, Brain Pod Kenny West. By the way, how long have you been in my evil organization?"

"In total?" asked Brain Pod Kenny. "Ever since I've been a brain in a jar? Or the time when your forces kidnapped me and took my ass to persuade me to join you?"

"Brain in a jar," said Zurg.

"Four years, five months, three weeks, two weeks and forty seconds next week," replied Brain Pod Kenny.

"Well, keep up the good work," said Zurg, who began to move away.

"Well, now you mentioned it…" Kenny followed and got in front of him. "I'm sure you get this a lot, but you promised me that if I gave up my ass and kept my brain for you, you would give me more a promotion, a raise and my own private island planet."

Zurg grabbed him by the throat. "No! No one asks me that and do you know why?"

"No, man!" chocked Brain Pod Kenny.

"Because of this!" Zurg's eyes began to grow red.

"Sir, we are ready to hit Planet Bean," said Kendra.

"Then fire before someone else tells me his or her life story!" ordered Zurg, as he let go of Brain Pod Kenny.

The big gun fired.

On Planet Bean, Mr. Bean was driving through a giant high street in his mini yellow flying saucer, resembling his yellow mini. His co-passenger was Teddy, his teddy bear. A red light overtook them.

"Oh, look, Teddy," said Bean, pointing to the sky. "A big red light."

Then it came down and went through them. The mini saucer crashed into some bins. As Bean got out, his eyes were glowing red. He picked up Teddy and ripped him.

"Evil rules!" he shouted.

"I control everyone on the planet!" cheered Zurg. "Oh, this is fun. What shall we hit next?"

Brain Pod Kenny stepped forward. "Well, there's Planet Vulcan, Planet Krypton, Planet Endor – "

"No, I don't want those irritating bears!" snapped Zurg.

"How about Third Earth?" suggest Brain Pod Fright Train.

"Planet of the Thundercats?"

"You always said you wanted a cat and now you can have all the cats you can have, fool!"

"Good point," said Zurg.

The big gun fired again.

"I can feel it!" he cried. "I can control every mind on two planets! I can make them do what I want whenever I want."

"When are you gonna allow them to go to the bathroom?" asked Brain Pod Arch.

In space, Buzz's rocket caught up with Alpha One. "Alpha One, power down your engines!" Buzz ordered.

On his video screen, Mira's pretty face showed up. "Come on, Buzz," she snapped. "You know my plan will work."

"It is a good plan," said Buzz, "but it's not worth standing up in front of a firing squad for disobeying Nebula's orders!"
Alpha One zoomed on and Buzz had no choice but to go after her. The red ship went into the giant of the nearest planet. Mira thought she had lost him.

"Hmm, I must be so damn good," she said to herself proudly.

But, as she zoomed out of the ring, ahead of her was Buzz's ship. Buzz fired a red rod from his ship to Alpha One.

"Not even half as good as me, Princess," he said, as he dragged the red ship towards his ship.

Mira was trying to break off.

"Easy off those thrusters, Mira!" Buzz ordered on her radio. "You're only going to burn them out."

"Ah, (bleep) you!" Mira shouted, as she turned the engine off.
