==Plot==
====StarCruiser Cargo Bay====
Buzz scolds Mira for her recklessness, to which Mira responds shyly about how he is reckless. But then they hear Booster and XR in the locker room and they see that XR is putting Booster in a spacesuit, which shreds due to its size. Meanwhile, Zurg tells the Grubs to fire at Star Command. Just as Buzz is about to fire Booster, the alarm on the ship sounds as the group runs to the cockpit and see the ray headed for the ship. Luckily, Buzz moves the ship out of the way in time. Instead, the ray hits Star Command. Buzz tries to communicate with Star Command, but they don't answer. The group goes aboard the station only to find that it is all dark, even in the control room. Suddenly they hear Zurg's voice coming from the other Space Rangers, LGMs and even Commander Nebula. Zurg tells them that soon the entire Galactic Alliance will be under his control as well. But after he attempts to fire at them, Buzz, Mira, Booster, and XR escape from the controlled Space Rangers and LGMs. Mira attempts to fire at them but Buzz stops her from doing it because they are still their fellow Rangers. Booster then gets the idea to get past them by using XR against the controlled space rangers and LGMs. This gives them the chance to get back on board 42 after blocking the door. But they are not safe yet. Zurg chases after them on Star Cruisers and rocket scooters, along with Commander Nebula firing a cannon. Suddenly the controlled Star Command staff retreats. Buzz demands Mira to check what's wrong. She ghosts through the ceiling and finds a bomb on the roof. She gets back inside and warns Buzz, much to XR's and Booster's shock. But Buzz has an idea by saying it's perfect. Out in space, Zurg speaks through Nebula that Buzz has haunted him far enough, but no more. As 42 explodes, they all return to Star Command laughing evilly. Unknown to Zurg, Buzz and the gang have survived by taking the Alpha 1. Buzz says that as long as Zurg thinks he's dead they have a chance to get to Planet Z.
====Zurg Tower.... but you knew that====
Back on Planet Z, Agent Z states that he never thought destroying Buzz would be easy. Zurg, still believing that Buzz is dead, feels that evil wouldn't be as much fun without his arch-nemesis. Meanwhile, Buzz is ready to test Mira's theory about a small spacecraft infiltrating Planet Z. Despite Booster's anxiety, Mira tries to assure him that they won't be detected.
====Planet Z.... Auto Defense Moon====
But the Seeker Drones are on patrol and the lack of space makes it difficult for Buzz to steer clear from them. Suddenly, Booster accidentally sets off the emergency water landing system. At that moment, the crystallic fusion core deactivates and several airbags surround the spacecraft. This makes for a crash landing which dazes Mira, XR, and Booster but Buzz is alright. The Hornets spot the Alpha 1 with the deflated airbags but Brain Pod 13 believes that it's a weather balloon and leads the Hornets away. After that, Buzz and the gang come out of hiding and check the Alpha 1, which has little damage. Buzz then orders Mira, Booster, and XR to take the Alpha 1 to find any unaffected planets and evacuate the civilians whilst he goes after Zurg. Despite the team's insistence that Buzz lets them be his back-up, Buzz refuses their help and sends them packing, much to Mira's annoyance. Just as Zurg is planning out his next target, Buzz makes his attack. Zurg is angry that Buzz survived but Agent Z attacks Buzz. After a short battle, Buzz attempts to arrest Agent Z, who removes his helmet and reveals himself to be Warp Darkmatter, much to Buzz's shock. Warp then knocks Buzz unconscious. When Buzz regains consciousness, he finds himself on top of Tower Z and Warp reveals he survived the exploding moon and went to work for Zurg full time as many years of working as a double agent. Buzz is shocked and angered by Warp's betrayal just as Zurg arrives and mocks him. Zurg then reveals his plans for Buzz where, instead of killing him, he would possess Buzz with his mind control ray. Buzz then makes a "final log entry", which Warp believes to be unheard by anyone else. But the "log entry" is transmitted to the Alpha 1 where Mira, Booster, and XR hear how Buzz admits he was wrong to take on the mission alone and wishes he had taken on their help. Upon realising that Buzz is calling for help, Mira turns the Alpha 1 back to Planet Z just as Buzz ends his message. Zurg, unaware of the reinforcements, sends out the orders to target Buzz just as the Hornets escort Buzz up to the ray. But, just as the ray is about to fire, long mechanical arms grab Buzz in the nick of time. The arms in question belong to XR, who has connected himself magnetically to the Alpha 1, now piloted by Booster. The Hornets manage to break Buzz from XR's grip but Buzz fights them. Zurg orders Warp to destroy Buzz but a Hornet suddenly falls out of the sky. But it turns out that Mira disabled the Hornet and disguised herself using her ghostly powers. Meanwhile, XR falls off the Alpha 1 and Booster dives down to rescue him. Booster then apologises as XR hits himself on the tailfin. Not willing to be defeated, Zurg tricks Buzz into thinking that "the Planet of the Widows and Orphans" is the next target. Just as Buzz tries to destroy the mind control ray with his laser, Zurg suddenly blasts Buzz's wing and Buzz falls out of the sky. Suddenly, the Alpha 1 crash lands, sending Zurg's henchman. Mira then uses the ejector seat, which sends Booster flying. Booster lands on top of Warp, who feels embarrassed. Meanwhile, Buzz has survived the fall and he, along with the gang, confronts Zurg and pronounces him under arrest. Suddenly, the Brain Pods fire the ray with a final blast, which enslaves every last planet in the galaxy. Using the distraction, Zurg escapes and tells Buzz that wherever he goes in the universe, he'll hear Zurg's voice mocking him. Buzz is not ready to let Zurg win. He then orders Booster and XR to get up to Zurg Tower and take Warp into custody whilst he and Mira go to take care of the Uni-Mind. At that moment, the mind control ray malfunctions, setting off a chain reaction and Zurg's henchmen retreat. Warp, who is now handcuffed to a pillar, tells them to come back and release him. But just as Booster and XR get there, Booster picks up Warp and XR, and Warp panics, thinking Booster is going to jump. XR states that he and Booster are risk-takers. Then Booster starts running towards the edge as Warp screams in panic. But just as Booster jumps, XR deploys a parachute, which guarantees a safe landing. Buzz explains to Mira that the LGMs' mindlink was activated by a single touch and attempts to restore the Uni-Mind by touching it. But it backfires because thanks to Zurg's touch, the Uni-Mind is now rotten to the core. Mira then decides to send Buzz into the core. The plan works as Buzz's sense of justice and selflessness restores the Uni-Mind and creates a massive burst of energy, which turns Zurg's victims back to normal. Zurg is left angry by this and just as his ship is about to be destroyed, he yells out "Curse you, Buzz Lightyear!" After a moment, Mira goes into the Uni-Mind and rescues Buzz just in time. After this, the LGMs examine the Uni-Mind and their mindlink is restored, although one of the LGMs briefly thinks he's Buzz. Meanwhile, Warp is placed under arrest. The LGMs admire how XR has gained a humanlike personality. Just as Commander Nebula praises Buzz for saving the day again, Buzz admits he didn't do it alone. Buzz, feeling grateful for Mira, XR, and Booster's help, decides to make them his new partners. Some time later, everyone is gathered for an awards ceremony where Nebula presents Buzz, Mira, XR, and Booster (now in a Space Ranger uniform) with medals and Buzz then announces to the cheering crowd, "Team Lightyear reporting for duty, sir!" The new team then blasts off into space whilst shouting "TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!"
