Agent Z reveals his true identity

This is how Agent Z reveals his true identity goes in Ladybug and Cat Noir Meet Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins.

[We return to Zurg's observation post]

Zurg: Next target, and... oh. Who haven't we perverted into a twisted reflection of evil?

Brain Pod #29: A few planets left in the Beta Quadrant remain unperverted. Hmm.

Zurg: Ah, bingo!

[They hear fighting]

Zurg: Huh?

[He sees Ladybug busting up Hornets]

Zurg: Ladybug.

Ladybug: Zurg!

[She confronts him, but Agent Z crashes her to a lab]

Ladybug: You again. By the authority of Star Command, I hereby place you under arrest!

[Agent Z's robot hand turns into an arm cannon and Ladybug rolls away just as Agent Z fires it]

[Ladybug swings her flail at him]

Agent Z: Not bad, Ladybug. I should've seen that one coming.

[She hits him and pounds him to the floor]

Ladybug: Who are you?

Agent Z: Aw, come on, lady. That's no way to... [removes his helmet]

Warp Darkmatter: ...treat Buzz's partner.

Ladybug: [gasps] Warp?

[Warp makes a fist with his robotic hand and fires it out of his arm cannon, knocking out Ladybug with one punch]

[At the post, Ladybug wakes up]

Warp Darkmatter: Surprised?

Ladybug: You're alive? But how?

Warp Darkmatter: The exploding moon. Convincing, wasn't it? Yeah, Zurg's fireworks are really top-shelf.

Ladybug: But, Warp...

Warp Darkmatter: Ah. "Agent Z", please.

Ladybug: Oh, of course! Amnesia!

Warp Darkmatter: No.

Ladybug: Evil clone.

Warp Darkmatter: No.

Ladybug: Android replica.

Warp Darkmatter: No!

Ladybug: Okay, okay, it's so obvious! Zurg's mind control ray! He got to you first.

Warp Darkmatter: Actually, I went to him. Evil is just so much more profitable than good. And more fun. What do you think?

Ladybug: But why work for a madman like Zurg?

Warp Darkmatter: Look, Ladybug, I've been on Zurg's payroll ever since the Academy. Once I got the LGMs to spill the secret of the Uni-Mind, the Big Z brought me on full-time. My name's Darkmatter. Who's surprised here?

[Zurg appears from behind her]

Ladybug: One of Star Command's finest. The perfect spy. And Buzz gave you a really nice eulogy.

Zurg: "He was not only a great ranger, but a great friend." [laughs evilly as he walks off his throne] Oh, what a hoot! If only you knew! [pushes a button that makes a triangular TV rise from under the floor. On the screen, we see reused footage from the funeral scene]

Buzz Lightyear: [on TV] I... [hangs his head in sadness] miss him very much.

Zurg: Oh, one more time! [rewinds the scene with the "rewind" button on the TV remote and presses the "play" button]

Buzz Lightyear: [on TV] I... [hangs his head in sadness] miss him very much.

[Zurg laughs as he turns off the TV and makes it sink back into the floor]

Zurg: Miss him now?! [continues laughing]

[Ladybug becomes annoyed]

Ladybug: Stop this!

[The Hornets grab and electrocute her]

Zurg: I'll admit, you've been a most formidable foe. But since Buzz "lost" his dear partner, you have been off your game.

Ladybug: Even if you kill me, others will rise against you.

[Zurg laughs at her, whereas Warp just shakes his head in disapproval]

Zurg: Oh, that's rich! Oh, please, [turns to his Grubs] please tell me you got that.

Grub on the camera crane: [gives a thumbs-up] Got it!

Zurg: Excellent! Add it to my collection. [turns back to Ladybug] Besides, Mistress Ladybug, I'm not going to kill you. No. No, I have a much more delicious idea. I'm going to take your world's greatest ladybug heroine, and turn her... into... me.

[Ladybug is shocked]

Warp Darkmatter: Welcome to the team, partner.

Ladybug: This isn't my team, and you're *not* my partner. [gets her comm] Ladybug mission log, final entry.

Zurg: What's she doing?

Warp Darkmatter: [sighs] Mission log. She's a procedure nut like Lightyear. As if there's anyone left to read her report.

[We cut to the Alpha One]

Mira Nova: Ooh! Sent packing like a bunch of first-year rookies!

XR: Which, technically we are.

Buzz Lightyear: She can handle Zurg.

[They hear something]

Ladybug: I don't know if anyone will be left untainted by Zurg's evil to receive this last chapter.

Booster Sinclair: [gasps] Did I sit on another button?

Mira Nova: [shushes him] It's Ladybug.

Ladybug: As I go to my impending doom...

Booster Sinclair: Doom?!

Ladybug: ...I pause to pay tribute to five of the best and the brightest to ever come out of Star Command.

XR: That's us.

Ladybug: I have taken a one-girl stand in darkness and depravity, and... I have failed. I was wrong.

Zurg: Keep rolling. This is priceless.

Ladybug: Perhaps, if I had taken another partner, or two, or three, or four, or six.

Cat Noir: Did you hear that? She needs us!

Mira Nova: She actually admits he needs us! [turns the Alpha One around, flying back to Planet Z]

Booster Sinclair: [offscreen] We're coming, Ladybug!

Ladybug: Ladybug over and out.

[The Hornets carry her away]

Zurg: [to Brain Pod #13] Target Ladybug and send word to Bellatrix.

Brain Pod #13: Okay-doke. You're the evil emperor.

[The Hornet gets Ladybug close]
