***Ed, Edd, n Eddy's Ed-ventures of Star Trek Beyond*** is the third installment of the Cartoon Network/Star Trek crossover to be created by Stuingtion. And is the sequel to Ed, Edd, n Eddy's Ed-ventures of Star Trek Into Darkness.

## Plot

Three years into its mission, the USS *Enterprise* arrives at *Yorktown*, a massive space station, for resupply and shore leavefor its crew. Struggling to find meaning in their endless exploration, Captain James T. Kirk has applied for a promotion to vice admiral; he recommends Spock as his replacement. Meanwhile, Hikaru Sulu reunites with his family, Montgomery Scott works to keep the ship operational, and Spock and Nyota Uhura amicably end their relationship; Spock also receives word from New Vulcan that Ambassador Spock, his counterpart from the original timeline, has died.

The *Enterprise* is sent on a rescue mission after an escape pod drifts out of a nearby uncharted nebula. Its occupant, Kalara, claims her ship is stranded on Altamid, a planet in the nebula. As the *Enterprise* exits an asteroid field within the nebula, a massive swarm of small ships ambushes and quickly overwhelms the starship, destroying its warp engines in a matter of seconds. The swarm's leader, Krall, and his crew board the crippled *Enterprise*, capture and remove many crew members from the ship, and unsuccessfully search for a relic, the Abronath, that Kirk had recently obtained. Scotty manages to restore enough power for the ship to attempt to flee, but Krall orders his swarm to destroy the *Enterprise*, and they smash the ship in half. Kirk orders the crew to abandon ship, leaving the remains of the *Enterprise* to crash on Altamid.

On the planet, Krall captures Sulu, Uhura and other survivors. Kirk and Pavel Chekov, accompanied by Kalara, locate the *Enterprise*'s saucer section. Realising that Kalara knew they would be attacked, they trick her into revealing herself as Krall's spy. To escape Krall's soldiers, Kirk and Chekov use the ship's thrusters to flip the saucer over, and Kalara is killed in the maneuver. Elsewhere on the planet, Dr. Leonard McCoy and a wounded Spock search for other survivors. Spock explains to McCoy that the tension he witnessed between him and Uhura at *Yorktown* was due to his intention to leave Starfleet to help the Vulcan survivors, and continue the late Ambassador Spock's work. Jaylah, a scavenger who previously escaped Krall's encampment, rescues Scott and takes him to her makeshift home, the grounded USS *Franklin*, an early Starfleet vessel reported missing over a century earlier. Scott is reunited with Kirk, Chekov, McCoy and Spock. Threatening to kill the crew, Krall coerces Ensign Syl to hand over the Abronath that she had concealed for Kirk, then uses it on her to demonstrate an ancient bioweapon that can disintegrate any humanoid. With the device complete, Krall intends to kill *Yorktown*'s inhabitants, then use the base to attack the Federation. Kirk and the others free the crew as Krall launches into space with the bioweapon, leading his drones to *Yorktown*.

As the *Enterprise* survivors power up the *Franklin* and launch it in pursuit of Krall, they deduce that such a massive swarm must coordinate its attacks via radio signals, specifically on the VHF frequency. Scott transports Spock and McCoy into one of the swarm ships to seize control of it. Matching the swarm's frequency, they jam and disorient the swarm by broadcasting the 1994 song "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys, destroying almost the entire fleet. Krall and his three surviving ships, one of which contains Spock and McCoy, are chased by the *Franklin* through *Yorktown*. The chase ends at the station's headquarters, where the *Franklin*'s sudden appearance causes the three ships to smash into it. As Krall flees into the starbase, Uhura and Kirk discover from the *Franklin*'s logs that he is actually Balthazar Edison, former captain of the *Franklin*. A pre-Federation human soldier, Edison rejected the Federation's principles of unity and cooperation with former enemies like the Xindi. When he and his crew were stranded on Altamid by a wormhole, the three survivors used the extinct natives's technology to prolong their lives at the cost of the others, and re-purposed the ancient race's dormant drone workers into the swarm. Thinking the Federation had abandoned them, Edison planned to destroy the Federation and resume galactic conflict. Kirk pursues Edison into *Yorktown*'s ventilation system, where Edison activates the bioweapon. Before it can activate, Kirk ejects it and Edison into space, where the weapon consumes Edison. Using the alien ship they commandeered, Spock and McCoy save Kirk moments before he is also blown into space.

In the aftermath, Commodore Paris closes the files of Captain Edison and the USS *Franklin* crew. Kirk decides to keep his position as the *Enterprise*'s captain; Spock chooses to remain in Starfleet, and begins to renew his relationship with Uhura. On Kirk's recommendation, Jaylah is accepted into Starfleet Academy. As the crew celebrates Kirk's birthday, they watch the construction of their new ship, the USS *Enterprise*-A—and when the ship is completed, they resume their mission.
