== Story ==
After Buzz's disastrous first test flight, he returns from his last flight to discover that Alisha has died of old age. She leaves a recording for him where she shares her happiness and introduces him to her granddaughter, Izzy. Her successor, Commander Cal Burnside, informs Buzz that the colony has given up attempting to regain lightspeed capability and has decided to live on the planet, relying on a laser shield to protect the colony from outside indigenous hostiles. Sox reveals he has spent the last six decades calculating a stable formula for the hyper crystal. When Star Command sends personnel to decommission Sox, Buzz escapes with him and defies Burnside's orders to conduct one final test. 
With Sox's help, Buzz is able to test the new mixture and achieves Hyperspeed. However, he skips another 22 years into the future, where he meets a grown-up Izzy. She explains that recently, an army of robots invaded T'Kani Prime and are attempting to enter the colony, which is currently being protected by Burnside's laser shield. She and a group of cadets, Mo and Darby, intend to destroy a large cruiser that the robots descend from. After an encounter with one of the robots, Buzz witnesses firsthand the group's incompetence in combat and vows to finish the mission himself. Despite his attempts to work alone, the group accidentally joins him on the mission. During an escape from a nest of hostile bugs that they inadvertently disturb, the group departs in a ship which is then subsequently shot down by the leader of the robots named Zurg. After investigating a nearby mining facility to find a small energy coil that will help them restore power to the ship, Buzz begins to understand the value of relying on other people for help, and he allows Izzy, Mo, and Darby to join him and Sox in finishing the mission.
However, Zurg intervenes, and despite the group being able to escape from him and his robots, the hyper crystal is lost. In his attempts to forcibly use the crystal himself, Zurg is incapacitated by the alternate Sox (who is also against Zurg's plan) who leads Buzz to the ship's control room to initiate a self-destruct sequence before being crushed by an enraged Zurg. After a chaotic assault on the cruiser, Buzz and his team manage to escape the ship before it detonates. On their return back to the planet via a crash landing, Buzz's ship is attacked by Zurg once again, who then takes the hyper crystal for himself. Buzz is forced to destroy the hyper crystal, causing an explosion that seemingly kills Zurg, and he is able to subsequently save his team from crashing onto the planet's surface with their help. 
With the fuel gone, Buzz finally accepts T'Kani Prime as his home. Burnside arrests Buzz, Izzy, Mo, and Darby with the intention of detaining them for their reckless actions, but relents in light of Buzz's bravery against the robot armada. Allowed to revive the Space Ranger Corps, Buzz unexpectedly selects Izzy, Mo, Darby, and Sox as his trainees. With a new hyper crystal created using the computer left behind during the mutiny, Buzz and his team embark on a new adventure.
