A few days later, Buzz was having lunch with Sunset and Fugitoid. Buzz had a fine steak with mashed potatoes, Sunset had Spaghetti with breadsticks and a salad, and thanks to the LGMS installing an electronic digestive system into him, Fugitoid was enjoying a fine tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.
"Enjoying your food, Fugitoid?" Sunset asked.
"Oh, yes I am!" Fugitoid answered. "It does feel good to eat again! I must thank the LGMs for my new digestive system."
"Well, they're just doing their job." Buzz said. And as if on cue, Commander Nebula calls in as our heroes finish lunch.
"Lightyear, Shimmer, Honeycutt!" He said. "You're heading to Capital Planet! I'll send you a picture of who you're after on 42." And when they came in, they were shown a picture of some who looks exactly like Buzz Lightyear in every way, except for having facial hair colored dark blue. He wears armor similar to Zurg's, but with pants and without a cape, and the letter L in the center of his chest instead of Z.
"Is that your evil twin, Buzz?" Sunset asked.
"Kinda, yeah." Buzz said. "He's from a universe where I'm evil."
"So, if that's the Evil you, then where's the Zurg from his reality?" Fugitoid asked.
"He's, uh, in the fast food industry." Buzz said.
"Yeesh." Sunset said.
"Anyway, here's what happened." Buzz said "When one of Zurg's brain pods opened a portal to the alternate universe, the evil me came back through with Zurg and they attempted to destroy Star Command while I face the people he's hurt. However, their plan were foiled by me. Sometime later, it is revealed while drifting in space that he has teamed up with Gravitina. She initially mistook him for me, though realized otherwise, and was pleased to find a Buzz that was already evil. The pair constructed a heat-proof base just above the sun's surface, from which to use Gravitina's powers to shoot solar flares at Star Command, Capital Planet, and wherever else they feel like. Mira and I set the station to fall into the sun, and my evil version makes a run for his ship, preparing to abandon Gravitina along with Buzz and Mira. Before he can, however, the floor splits under him, and he falls into the sun. He should presumably die as a result, but in the end, he somehow escaped, although how he achieved that isn't explained, and he isn't seen again afterward. Because of this, however, it can be assumed that he survived somehow."
"It had to have been awful seeing the horror your Evil counterpart did." Fugitoid said
"Not as bad as what he did to my team's counterparts." Buzz replied
"Buzz, I understand how you feel, but that's not you." Sunset said "Everything he did was something you know you'd never do."
"I know, but I hoped that there was some form of good in him." Buzz said. "He reminded me too much of Warp."
"What happened between you two anyway?" Fugitoid said.
"Well, it kind of a long story." Buzz said. "Back in the day, we used to be partners. We both work out of Star Command's Universe Protection Unit. At 0800 hours, the report came in. Three LGMs were reported missing and Warp and I were sent to search for them on a moon. We soon found one of Zurg's secret bases and found our way in." The scene changed to show Zurg interrogating 3 LGMS.
"Tell me your mind link!" He said. "Tell me your secret!"
"Never!" The LGMs replied
"Oh?" Zurg said. "Then I'll just have to pick your brains. Hahahahahahaha! Where's my Cranial Dissect-a-bot?" Zurg evilly laughs as the Dissect-a-bot appears and is about to drill their heads, but fortunately, a laser beam blows it up. "Whoa!" The LGMs screamed but then opened their eyes to see someone
"Ooh." They said Zurg turned to see Buzz jumping out of the doorway, doing a flip and landing while pointing his wrist at Zurg.
"Ah, Lightyear." He said
"Evil Emperor Zurg, by the authority of the Galactic Alliance, you are hereby charged for dissection of Star Command personnel." Buzz said
"I shall destroy your Galactic Alliance." Zurg replied before he pressed his emblem. "But first, I shall destroy you! Well, not personally. Hornets, destroy Buzz Lightyear!" Hornets fall from the ceiling as Zurg talks. The Hornets stand up as they transform and have their arms morph into machine guns. Then they start shooting all over the room. Buzz tries shooting a few off-screen Hornets, and as the battle rages on, Zurg gets onto a platform in the center of the room. "Prepare to die, Buzz Lightyear!" The platform takes off and Zurg gets away.
"Not today, Zurg!" Buzz said as he continues shooting. Although Zurg reaches the black hole in the ceiling, Buzz still frees the missing Little Green Men with his laser. Dodge rolls to the missing LGMs and activates his jetpack "Hop on!" The missing LGMs jumped on Buzz's wings and rode on Buzz as he flew around the room shooting the Hornets. The LGMs screamed as they fly at high speed. One Hornet manages to shoot an LGM off, but Buzz flies down and catches it. Warp then rode Zurg's platform down and crushes four Hornets underneath.
"Backup?" He asked with a smirk. Buzz flew down and deactivated his jetpack when he landed.
"Always a pleasure." Buzz answered "Let's go after Zurg!"
"Not today, Lightyear!" Zurg said on a TV screen "For I started the self-destruct sequence on my way out. It is a moon of doom now."
"Self-destruct in 60 seconds." A P.A. said.
"60 seconds?" Buzz asked.
"All the time in the world." Warp remarked Zurg's Hornets begin blasting again.
"Uh-oh!" The LGMs said as Buzz and Warp continue shooting as well.
"Get to the ship, blast off!" Buzz said to the LGMs
"But Buzz!" They said.
"That's an order!" Buzz added "We'll meet you in orbit!" Without hesitation, all 6 LGMs evacuate and head back to the ship as ordered.
"Self-destruct in 45 seconds." The P.A. said.
"Farewell, Lightyear!" Zurg said on the screen. "This time you shall not escape!" As Zurg evilly laughs, Buzz blasts the TVs with his laser, cutting off Zurg's evil laugh and taunt.
"Just watch me, Zurg!" Buzz said as he and Warp continue shooting the Hornets, and one of them actually damages the power supply, causing the hideout to start burning. A few firework whistles are heard as the room starts to collapse. Buzz jumps out of the way of one explosion and blasts a falling pillar with his laser. "Come on, Warp! It's time to blow this rock!" He then opened his jetpack, but doesn't take off just yet. As Buzz searches for Warp, he hears Warp's grunt of pain. The camera reveals he's been crushed by the debris and Buzz tries to get Warp out by lifting up the debris.
"Self-destruct in ten [10] seconds." The P.A. said.
"Get out of here!" Warp said.
"No!" Buzz said as he tried to pull Warp out of the debris.
"Let go!"
"We're partners!"
"Self-destruct in five..." The P.A. said.
"I said "go"!" Warp then slamed the jetpack button on Buzz's suit and watches him blast into orbit.
"WARP!" Buzz said as he flew up. He then tried to fly back to Warp as time runs out. Warp gives a farewell grin as Buzz flies to him, knowing he'll be too late as the P.A. finished counting down.
"Four, three, two, one."
Buzz then stoped flying and flinched at the explosion down below. Buzz's shadow was seen as the moon exploded, and became a cloud of smoke.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Sunset said in shock. "If that happened, then how did he survive?"
"That's what I asked myself when we met again on Planet Z." Buzz said as the scene changed again, this time at the moment when Buzz waking up after being knocked out with Warp aiming his blaster at him.
"Surprised?" He asked as the hornets got Buzz on his feet
"You're alive?" Buzz asked before looking at his hands "Or am I dead?"
"No, you're not dead." Warp answered. "Not yet anyway."
"But how?" Buzz asked in disbelief.
"The exploding moon." Warp answered "Convincing, wasn't it? Yeah, Zurg's fireworks are really top-shelf."
"But, Warp..." Buzz began before Warp aimed his robot arm at Buzz.
"Ah." Warp said. "Agent Z, please."
"Oh, of course!" Buzz said. "Amnesia!"
"No." Warp said. Buzz then came up with other explainations.
"Evil clone."
"No."
"Android replica."
"No!" Now at this point, Buzz was running out of ideas for what happened to Warp during the explosion at the moon
"Okay, okay, it's so obvious!" Buzz said, facepalming himself. "Zurg's mind-control ray! He got to you first."
"Actually, I went to him." Warp said as he went to sit on a seat nearby. "Evil is just so much more profitable than good. And more fun. What do you think?"
"I don't believe it." Buzz said. "The Warp Darkmatter I trained side-by-side with would not work for the most evil force in the universe!"
"Look, Lightyear, I've been on Zurg's payroll ever since the Academy." Warp explained. "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?"
"One of Star Command's finest." Buzz said in disgust. "The perfect spy. And I gave you a really nice eulogy." as he spoke, Zurg rose from behind Buzz, standing on a rocket-powered throne.
"'He was not only a great ranger, but a great friend.'" He said before evilly laughing as he walked off his throne. "Oh, what a hoot! If only you knew!" Zurg then pushed a button that makes a triangular TV rise from under the floor. On the screen, we see reused footage from a funeral with Buzz giving his eulogy.
"I..." Buzz began before hanging his head in sadness. "Miss him very much."
"Oh, one more time!" Zurg said before he rewound the scene with the "REWIND" button on the TV remote and pressed the "PLAY" button.
"I..." Buzz began before hanging his head in sadness. "Miss him very much."Zurg laughs as he turns off the TV and makes it sink back into the floor.
"Miss him now!?" Zurg asked as he continued laughing. This made Buzz quite mad as he brok
"Stop mocking me!" He said when he broke free from the two Hornets, only for them to grab and electrocute him.
"I'll admit that in the past, you've been a most formidable foe." Zurg said to Buzz's face. "But since you "lost" your dear partner, you have been off your game."
"Buzz Lightyear may end today." Buzz said as he got up to his feet. "But what I believe in will live on. Hope, freedom, and justice." At those three words, Zurg laughs at him, whereas Warp just shakes his head in disapproval.
"Oh, that's rich!" Zurg said. "Oh, please, please tell me you got that." He said yo three Grubs. One recording with a camera, one holding a clapperboard, and one working a camera crane.
"Got it!" One of them said.
"Excellent!" Zurg said. "Add it to my collection." He then turned to Buzz "Besides, Mr. Melodrama, I'm not going to kill you. No. No, I have a much more delicious idea. I'm going to take the galaxy's greatest hero, and turn him... into... me."
"So, what happened after that?" Sunset asked.
"Well, Mira, Booster, and XR saved my life, we stopped Zurg and got the galaxy back to normal." Buzz answered.
"I still can't believe that Warp would betray you like that!" Fugitoid said in shock.
"Yes, but I know that someday, Warp will renounce his evil ways, and return to Star Command." Buzz said. Soon our heroes arrive at Capital Planet, and began their search for the Buzz's evil version. They didn't find anything, until they recived word of a hostage situation going on in an abandoned warehouse. They knew that it could only be Buzz's evil counterpart. So they went there to investigate, but knew that he might be expecting them, so they came up with a top secret plan before spliting up. Buzz then walked down a long dark hallway before noticing a light in the next room. He then walked in to see Evil Buzz sitting down on a chair.
"Hello, Lightyear." He said. "It's good to see me again."
"To bad the feeling isn't neutral." Buzz said. "I'm here to take you in."
"Good thing I have a hostage." Evil Buzz moves aside to reveal to have Savy SL2 chained up to a chair, gagged, and at ion cannon.
"What do you want?" Buzz asked, knowing that he can't risk Savy's life.
"Just a one on one match between you and me." Evil Buzz answered. "You know, for old time sake."
"I name the place?" Buzz asked.
"Why not." Evil Buzz replied. The two men soon went into a room with several empty crates all over the place. They removed all their weapons from them before taking laser swords that kinda look like samurai katanas. "Now which everone of us can make the other unable to fight wins. Sound fair?"
"About as fair as it can get with you." Buzz said. "But yeah, let's do it." The two of them then began their epic match unlike any that they had before. Buzz was fighting for honor, Justice, and the lives of those he cares about, while his evil twin fought for only power and revenge. Sparks flew as the two of them clashed swords and they jumped around. But unknown to Evil Buzz, Sunset and Fugitoid were hiding in the shadows, setting up a trap that involved an electronic stun net, for that was their top secret plan to stop the Buzz's evil counterpart. Eventually, the Evil Buzz mananged to get Buzz cornered.
"Looks like I have the advantage over my look-a-like." Evil Buzz said with an evil grin.
"You may look like me, but I have something you never had." Buzz said.
"What's that?" Evil Buzz asked.
"Friends!" Buzz said before looking up. "Now!" Sunset and Fugitoid then threw the stun-net over Evil Buzz, stunning him from the neck down.
(Pause at 2:19)
"But how?" Evil Buzz asked in shock.
"You thought you had the advantage, but all you had was a target on your back." Sunset explained.
"As long as we stand together as friends, we can handle anything." Fugitoid added. The Evil Buzz then passed out from exaustion
"So what are we gonna do with him?" Sunset asked.
"I'll arrange a transport to send him back to where he belongs." Buzz said. "And I'll have something else to go along with him going to jail."
"What?" Sunset asked again.
"Anyone have a razor?" Buzz said with a grin. Soon, the hostages, including Savy SL2, were safe and sound and back with their loved ones, but while our heroes celebrate their victory, The Magic Hornets become more powerful much to the satifaction of Zurg.
