42 (episode)/Transcript (2024)

Transcript[]

Act One[]

The scene opens up with a triangular transition from the bottom, showing the autopilot AP-06 dealing with an unexpected raid from a group called the Valkyran Raiders. He’s seen talking into a microphone from his chest compartment and frantically pressing buttons.

AP-06: Mayday! MAYDAY! This is Autopilot X6! My freighter is under attack! They are coming fast from every direction!

Some debris from the roof hits AP-06 in the head. It cuts to a shot of the ship from behind getting shot up by Valkyran ships.

AP-06: I don’t know how many- Ship’s hit real bad! Can’t TAKE MUCH MORE!

His mouth opens and his visor pops out, but not detached from the body, in an exaggerated cartoony fashion of paranoia as more Valkyran ships appear out of nowhere and attack the ship. An incredible zoom-in shot takes place as the freighter heads towards the fourth wall, with the ships coming in from the front to shoot the freighter, ending at the moment when it zooms into AP-06’s face.

AP-06: CAN ANYBODY OUT THERE HEAR ME!?

A zoom-out of the ship from behind is seen, including several other Valkyran ships flying after the freighter. It then cuts to Buzz talking on his communicator on his left wrist as it opens up, currently displaying static.

Buzz: I hear you. This is Buzz Lightyear, space ranger.

A visual of AP-06 in his freighter can be seen on Buzz’s communicator.

AP-06: Buzz Lightyear?

The visual is shut off. Buzz, Mira, XR and Booster are seen in this specific order within launch pods, with Booster comically too large to even be in said launch pod.

Buzz: Hold on, Autopilot. Help is on the way. Annnnd three… two… one…

A shot of the cannons preparing to fire before cutting back to Buzz.

Buzz: LAUNCH!

The entire team launches from the cannons, with Booster having some difficulty getting out of his cannon. Eventually, he catches up with the rest of the team and they activate their jetpacks.

Buzz: Intercept formation team! Remember, aim high, fly low and stay cool.

Booster, Mira, and XR: TEN FOUR, BUZZ!

As the group fly off into the distance, it cuts to the cargo freighter still tanking shots from Valkyran ships. It then cuts to the inside of the freighter, before focusing solely on a door. The door is sent flying by an explosion, with Sig and Hilda emerging from the smoke as they enter the room.

Hilda: Check that cargo!

Both Sig and Hilda check the cargo from separate sides, all while XR spies on them through a camera extended from his chest, monitoring the area through a television extended from the same area. As the shot focuses on the television’s green-filtered screen, XR manages to get a good shot of Sig’s back.

XR: Ha-cha-chaaa! (Pants like a dog with his tongue out)

Mira: (whispers) Valkyran Raiders? I can’t believe it.

XR: (Eyes display hearts) Me neither. They’re hotter than a super nova! Mind the skewer, Mira, I need to see them up close and personal.

XR surges toward the action.

Mira: (whispers) XR, no!

As XR peeks through the broken wall, the Valkyrans manage to detect him while they’re offscreen, and begin to open fire. The blast forces XR to disappear from the screen, and as they approach to survey the damage, Mira ghosts through the wall to get their attention.

Mira: FREEZE! Space rangers!

The Valkyrans run off and Mira gives chase on foot. XR casually moves towards the broken wall in the next shot with a ton of rocks inside his helmet. He removes his helmet momentarily to empty out the rocks.

XR: This is no way to treat the robot of your DREAMS!

As Hilda and Sig run, they find a door on the upper levels of the cargo ship and proceed to perform some basic parkour jumping exercises before Sig blasts the door open with her staff. They both enter the ruined wall before it cuts to a Valkyran ship presumably firing at the cargo ship until it is held back by Booster who holds onto the tail with great girth.

Booster: Hold it right there! You’re in big trouble.

An over the shoulder close-up shot of Sig’s twin sister as she presses a button barely representing the cardinal directions. It ejects her from her seat and sends her to a larger blue ship, whose hatch is open for her to enter before it takes off. Booster discards the empty ship and proceeds to hunt it down.

Booster: Not so fast!

It cuts to AP-06 being held hostage by Brun, with AP-06’s arms up.

Brun: This ship is now Valkyran property!

Buzz mysteriously enters the scene without a sound.

Buzz: Not today space pirate! This ship belongs to the Galactic Alliance!

AP-06: Uh, do you think you two can work this out somewhere else?

Buzz: By the authority of Star Command… you are under arrest.

Brun: Long before your so called “Galactic Alliance”, Valkyrans ruled these space waves.

Buzz: Times change, ma'am.

Brun: No. In the black pitch of space, the Valkyrans live by one rule… the strong prey on the weak. It has only been so. This will not change.

AP-06 puts his hands on his face with his gaping mouth, dumbfounded by the stupidity of such a hostile quote.

Buzz: Then you leave me no choice.

A hole is cut from below the floor inches apart from Buzz and Brun. Buzz grunts as the force of the tiny explosion sends him flying to the floor, Brun astounded by the fact that the entire room wasn’t violently being sucked into the cold vacuum of space. As Brun sees one of the green Valkyran ships from the hole, she makes a jump for it.

Buzz: I’M NOT THROUGH WITH YOU, LADY!

Buzz activates his jetpack and flies after her.

AP-06: They do not pay me enough for this kind of aggravation.

The Valkyran ships return to their WWII inspired mothership through its shark-like maw, and Buzz’s crew group up to assault the ship.

Brun: Phase out. Now!

The ship is somehow able to warp the fabric of reality to allow itself to fade from existence. The rangers stop their pursuit and are left astounded.

Mira: What the?

Booster: What just happened?

XR: Story of my life, pal. Find a ship full of beautiful raiders, watch them disappear into THIN vacuum.

Buzz: (Forms a fist in his hand) I want some answers.

Scene transitions to Star Command. Nebula speaks as the LGMs use a crane to move a red experimental ship sensor to another group of LGMs. They fiddle with the yellow dial and iron out the extra kinks as Buzz and Nebula converse with each other.

Nebula: We think the Valkyrans are using some type of dimensional warper to sneak across the galactic border undetected.

Buzz: How can we stop them, sir?

Nebula: Well, the LGMs are working up a new sensor that’ll see their ships comin’.

XR: You gotta admit, those Valkyran raiders were eeeaaaaaaasy on the eyes.

XR licks his finger and touches his side while mimicking the sound of steam with a wide grin.

Mira: Grow up, XR.

XR: Me? I’m Mister Maturity, babe. Especially when it comes to saucy privateers.

XR purrs while grinding his teeth. Mira hides her lips and looks up towards the ceiling.

Nebula: The sensor utilizes new principles of random intelligence to um… ouh outthink the Valkyran technology or, something like that.

LGM(s): Precisely, commander.

Nebula hands over to Buzz the experimental sensor.

Nebula: Here, Buzz. I want you to install this new prototype on your ship while the LGMs crank out more.

The group of LGMs gasp.

LGM 1: Uh, commander…

LGM 2: Still… running diagnostics.

Nebula: Well… you think it might work?

LGM 1: Yes?

LGM 2: Mmmmaybe?

Nebula: CLOSE ENOUGH! NOW LET’S STOP YAKKING AND GET MOVING!

Buzz: We’re on it, sir!

A shot of booster and Mira glancing at each other with a smile on their face. XR smiles as he looks at what Buzz is holding.

Buzz: Now install this ASAP, XR.

XR: Asap, and faster Buzz. As you know, you ask me to do something, it gets done. It’s that simple. Excuse me, is there an instruction manual?

LGM 1: Run it through the mainframe.

XR lifts the device with the bottom half upwards.

XR: This end up?

LGM 1: No.

LGM 2: Yes.

Both LGMs look at each other.

LGM 1: Yeas.

LGM 2: Noh.

Both LGMs look at each other again before the scene cuts to Buzz’s team inside Star Cruiser 42. The ship appears from about 3/4 of the wipe to right transition before making a sharp left turn towards the screen, not directly facing the fourth wall. The next shot is of Booster, Buzz and Mira piloting the ship. Buzz opens his log to communicate with XR.

Buzz: Installation status XR.

XR installs the sensor right next to a monitor, dusting off his own hands in the process.

XR: All done mon capítaine.

The sensor’s dial lights up as it beeps. XR is pissed.

XR: Oh for crying out loud, the stupid thing’s goin’ off already. Must be some kind of glitch.

XR smacks it with his palm while he smiles, his mouth partly open and smiling like a bewildered child when they see their first magic trick.

Booster: It’s no glitch!

Mira: THE VALKYRANS!

As the Valkyran ship manifests from the vacuum of space, the ship is overloaded with excess electricity. The heat being generated somehow sends XR flying upwards, causing him to bounce around the room until he enters the chute tube and sends him back up to the bridge. The excess energy overloads the sensor, beginning to give life to the ship while Buzz’s crew scream bloody murder as they deal with the dimensional warp.

Buzz: Their dimensional warp has created an energy surge!

Buzz struggles to control the ship with the handle.

Buzz: Must… break… freeeee!

The ship is stablized again. XR screams through the tubes before he lands on the bridge with a clunk.

Buzz: Let’s give those pirates a BIG space range greetin’.

Buzz pulls the thrusters, but nothing happens for a few seconds.

Buzz: Uhhhh… why aren’t we movin’?

As the electricity continues to surge from the sensor, the monitor displays a green screen with two yellow lines, with two red dots inches apart from each other on separate lines moving towards the right in an infinite loop.

This continues until it short circuits, turning itself back on as a feminine face appears: the yellow pixels representing the teeth, the eyebrows, the irises and eyelashes while the red pixels represent the pupils and the voluptuous lips.

It cuts back to the WWII inspired Valkyran mothership, the shark mouth opens up to send out smaller ships towards the Star Cruiser.

Booster: We’re sittin’ ducks!

Buzz: XR, I need power to the thrusters!

XR pushes buttons on his built-in computer.

XR: I’m trying! It’ll take time!

Buzz: Time is one thing we haven’t got.

It cuts to Brun, piloting the mothership.

Brun: FIRE!

It cuts to the Valkyran mothership, its eyes lighting up before firing two power blue beams of energy, but the Star Cruiser manages to make a quick sharp right turn at the last second in the most cartoony way possible. It cuts back to Buzz, Mira and Booster, but Buzz soon notices the joystick moving on its own.

Mira: We’re moving!

Booster: They missed!

Buzz: Yeah but… (he points at the joystick) Who’s at the controls?

It cuts right back to the Valkyran mothership as it chases down 42, dodging the blue lasers the ship is firing at it before it performs a rollercoaster and blasts the back of the mothership with a cannon that shoots two beams of red lasers. The mothership and the other smaller ships take off into the distance before they fade like a mirage within the vacuum of space.

XR: Yeah!

Booster: Woohooaaah, my god! Yaaaaaaayyy!!!

XR: Allllllright, Buzz! I give you the power, and you make the moons!

Booster: We showed them, huh, Buzz? They turned tail and RAN.

Buzz: They’ll be back. Booster, Mira, damage report! XR, run a thorough systems aNOWlysis!

XR takes the tube shoot, but it’s jammed for a few seconds; his head barely peeking through the hole before it sucks him in and launches him to the engine room.

Buzz: Something is seriously wrong with this ship.

XR was about to mess with the engine room’s control systems until the newly awakened 42 speaks up.

42: HEY! Watch da clingers, pal!

XR: AH! Who said that?

42: I did.

XR: Who are you? Or, what are you, as the case may be.

42: And what kinda question is that?

XR: I DON’T KNO- What kind of ANSWER is that?

42: I’m da ship. Forty-two.

XR: No, no, and NO. I know every system on this ship, and so ha-

XR panics as 42 causes the engine room to get STEAMY.

XR: You’re the ship. Myyyy point exactly. That’s what I was getting at. I think we can allllll agree on that much right now.

42: So who’s that fleshpod that thinks something's wrong with me?

XR: That fleshpod is Buzz Lightyear. Our captain, all around great guy, and it so happens, a legend.

42: I don’t like him.

XR: Sweetheart, excuse me, but ahh, you’ve been around here for what, five minutes? I think I know a little bit more about these things than you do.

42: Yeah? Well he insulted me. Does he think I have no feelings, hauh?

XR: Oh you have feeeelings now? Oh I like that!

42: What is wrong with you? Can’t you put two sentences togetha without sayin’ somethin’ nasty?

XR: Fine. If that’s the way you “FEEEEEL”? Wouldn’t want to hurt your “FEEEEEELinnngs”.

42: WAIT! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Maybe we got off on the wrong foot. Ha. I could use someone to talk to.

XR: Well sugar, why don’t you just tell XR all about it.

A montage takes place in which 42 gossips while XR sits on a yellow stool, then XR gossips while he’s laying on a pink pillow, then they both play checkers on a green table with XR winning the game, then XR flexes his right arm showing some of that cartoony muscle he’s been building up through the entire series while sticking his tongue out,then they’re both drinking a can of oil with the hole XR is drinking out of bearing a pink umbrella, and it ends with XR kissing 42 on the cheek.

The scene then cuts to Mira checking her panel.

Mira: Still got nothin’ here, Buzz.

Booster: The ship has power, but won’t respond to commands.

Buzz: I’m goin’ to the engine room.

XR: …and then, I said, “Oh yeah? Well if that’s a defusion reticular then I’m a warm blooded hominid!” (Giggles)

Buzz: XR? Who are you talking to?

XR: BUZZerrr! Hi, pal! I like to introduce you to Forty-two. Honey, say hi to our skipper and my friend, Buzz Lightyear!

(XR gasps as 42 hides herself as a screen with two yellow lines, with two red dots inches apart from each other on separate lines moving towards the right in an infinite loop. As he speaks, he knocks on the glass with his right hand before getting his face close to the monitor.)

XR: Forty-two? Honey? Sweetie? Sugar? Forty-two? Forty-twooo, are you therrrrrrre? I think I know what we’re doing. We’re playing a little game already. Ready or noOOOOOT! Here I CoooOOOOOOOooooome.

Buzz: XR…

XR: Come out, come out wherever you are my little mmminx.

Buzz: I think that energy jolt affected more than just the ship.

The side of XR’s head tries to touch the screen to listen to 42’s beeps, despite the fact that it’s leaning on his glass helmet. His robo-eyes are partly closed as if he was about to resume in a terrible life choice or is just falling asleep.

42 then reveals her face, showing disgust as her pupils focus on Buzz leaving the engine room.

42: SHEESH! I’d thought he’d never leave!

XR: Forty-two! Honey! Why didn’t you say something to Buzz?

42: After the way he talked about me? What is wrong with you?

XR: Honey bunny, in all fairness, he’s the captain of the ship!

42: Well I’ve got news for you, buster. I AM the ship, and I don’t need a captain. These humans have such an attitude I can’t even tell you.

XR: Oh you don’t know the half of it. Wait till you see one sneeze. But I’m over here, huh? Amirite? (Chuckles) You dig me, right?

42: Humm, I mean, you have your little ways.

XR: Hold that thought, kitten. For now, I gotta go patch things up with the bossman!

Wipe transition from left as Buzz is seen fiddling with the wires of the ship’s control panel, and Mira looking at him with concern.

Mira: Um, I’m not… sure this is such a great idea, Buzz.

Booster: Yeah… how will we get back?

XR: (Waves his arm) Hey guys!

42 appears on the monitor next to XR.

42: (whispers) Pssst. What’s happening?

XR shrugs and heads on over to Buzz.

XR: Hey, something wrong with that panel, Buzz?

Buzz: Something’s wrong with the whole ship. Going back to Star Command for a complete overhaul.

XR: Uh… (Nervously laughs) When you say “complete”, exactly what are you getting at, there?

Buzz: I mean, the LGMs are gonna wipe all systems clean and start over! Can’t take a chance on the ship backing up again, so I’m eliminating all power. We’ll be towed back in.

XR: No! Buzz! Don’t do it! Don’t-

Buzz rips the wires giving power to the ship, emitting the little electricity they have before they’re no longer electrically charged. This ends up shutting 42 down as the looping screen flickers to black, with XR looking back in horror to witness his potential mate dying temporarily.

XR: FORTY-TWOOOOOoooooooohhhhhhhhh…

Triangle transitions to black from the right.

Act Two[]

Triangle displaying the current scene starts the transition from the bottom-left corner of the screen. It pans over from the star cruiser to Booster groaning as he’s running with all his girth to tow the ship; his huge jetpack has a rope tied to it. Buzz calls him through the communicator on his left wrist.

Buzz: How are you doin’ out there, Booster?

Booster opens up his communicator.

Booster: UAGH! No problem… Buzz! UAAAGGHH!!

Buzz: We’ll get this ship fixed, and head back out to the front tier.

XR: I can’t let you do it, Buzz. Forty-two is the girl of my dreams! True, she has no body, but we’re working through that!

Buzz: XR, I’d like for you to check in with the LGMs for a little… reconditioning of your own.

XR: THINK what you will, but ours is a special love, a love like no other. THAT’S right, I said love. And I won’t have it sullied by your mocking ways. Now, if you’ll excuse me.

XR leaves the ship, knowing full well he’ll come back to her later. A diagonal triangle transition shot occurs from the bottom left, showcasing a shot of Star Command and several star cruisers entering and leaving the ship before cutting to a panning shot of XR heading towards 42, currently surrounded by LGMs.

XR: (Waves his hand) How’s it goin’, guys?

LGM(s): Hiiiii… XR!

XR ends up bumping into the LGMs during his rush to get to 42.

XR: (BUMP!) WOOP! Don’t mind me, just passing through. I’m not here! Hehehe. (BUMP!) Sorry, ignore me. Haha. (Dodges an LGM as they push a cart by adding more segments to his legs. He looks under his legs to the LGM passing by.) Keep up the good work!

An LGM stops him from proceeding out of innocent curiosity.

LGM 1: What are you doing here, XR?

XR: It’s strictly on the level, I’ll tell you that much. Haha. (Breathes) I’ve uh-

XR finds the Fat-Pax 9000 offscreen and grabs it.

XR: Ha-Hey, Hey! The Fat-Pax 9000! I’m here to clean!

XR turns the machine on and it generates a ton of suds, covering the LGM in the process.

LGM 1: Cleaning is done.

XR uses his hand as a grappling hook and heads on up to the ship’s bridge, confusing the LGMs watching him ascend the launch platform.

XR: I’ll be checking the forward thrusters.

LGM(s): Done!

XR: How about that!

XR continues upward until he reaches the top, grabbing a wrench from an LGM before he attempts to head on inside the ship.

XR: Well, that gives me more time to recalibrate the gravity modulators.

The LGM takes back their wrench.

LGM(s): Done!

XR ejects candy from his chest in a last ditch effort to get closer to 42.

XR: Restock the candy machine?

The LGMs unwrap the candy wrappers.

LGM(s): Ohhhh! Candyyyyy!

XR Seeing the perfect opening, he takes out more candy and throws it over the landing platform.

XR: You want it? Go get it! Plenty for everyone!

The LGMs climb down with ropes.

LGM(s): Candy! Oh! Candy! CANDY!

XR: That’s right! Tell your friends! XR delivers the goods! Sorry about that, guys, but true looooove cannot be de-nied.

XR darts inside the ship and immediately heads on over to Buzz’s seat.

XR: Power-up, love bunny! We don’t have much time!

42: Oooooh! Pooky, you’re such a little romantic! Who knew?

XR begins presses buttons.

42: Ummm… ‘cuse me? What’re you doin’? I do the driving.

XR: OK, OK. (Rubs his body on the seat) I never get to sit in Buzz’s seat. Hey, is it just me, or do ya think he has a little extra padding up here.

As XR continues to rub his body on the seat, 42 starts herself up and XR is caught off-guard, holding onto the chair for dear life. Two LGMs witness the ship take off while they’re climbing down from the launch platform.

LGM(s): Better tell the commander.

It cuts to XR with his hands behind his helmet in a relaxed manner, looking as smug as a cool dude with black shades and some liberty caps.

XR: We’ve did it baby! We’re desperadoes on the run!

42: Yeah! So where do ya wanna go, tough guy?

XR: I…

XR contemplates before taking out a couple brochures.

XR: Just happen to have a wide range of attractive options right here!

42: Ohhh… Sandy beaches, moonlight walks, those big blue umbrella drinks! I love it!

XR: Wellll, there’s no moon up here and you can’t walk, but I like your thinking! Verrrry romantic.

42 is seen flying through the darkness of space before a diagonal triangle transition from the bottom left shows Booster running to Buzz and Mira just to ask them about XR.

Booster: Have you guys seen XR?

Mira: Yeah, he’s in the science lab getting checked out.

Booster: Ah. He never showed up.

Buzz’s communicator beeps, and he opens it up.

Buzz: Lightyear.

Nebula: Buzz, I just got a report from the LGMs and XR took out Forty-two before they finished repairs.

Buzz: Oh, yes. I, auuh…. ooOORdered him to re-run some in-flight tests.

Nebula: Just checkin’. Carry on.

Buzz: I don’t believe it. XR went AWOL.

Booster: But, you just said you ordered him to take 42 out.

Buzz: It was a cover story.

Booster: (GASP) You told Commander Nebula a lie?

Buzz: I don’t lie, I tell cover stories! We need to find XR and Forty-two. FAST!

A diagonal triangle transition from the bottom left shows an unflattering shot of Star Cruiser 5.5 as it struggles to fly smoothly.

Mira: I cannot believe this rickety old deathtrap was the only available ship.

Buzz is seen struggling to control the ship’s wheel and the stick shift.

Buzz: For your information (grunt) I created the board star cruiser 5.5 (grunt) and she’s a solid textured ship.

The handle breaks, and Buzz frantically struggles to put it back on successfully. Mira grabs the walkie-talkie connected to the ship, but the wire breaks.

Mira: (sighs) Perfect. So much for contacting him by radio.

Booster is seen smacks the top of the scope he’s using so he could get an energy reading, but then has to fiddle the thing with his left hand.

Booster: I’m picking up 42’s engine signature! Or… it might be somebody’s microwave oven. It’s hard to tell with this old scope.

A shot shows 42 flying as she passes by a booey. It cuts to XR reading from one of his brochures. As he’s reading from it, the Valkyran ship fades into reality in another scene.

XR: Oh, here’s a nice package deal. A tour of the Kataran Nebula in style. Luxury accommodations include

42: BIG, big problems.

XR: If that’s what you say so, fine. Ok, how about this one… Eight Planets, Seven Days. Huh?

XR finally notices the Valkryans in front of 42.

XR: AHHH! The Valkyrans! We’re gonna need help! By the way, if it comes up, they meant nothing to me.

42: Don’t worry about it, I’m in control. Alright, did you feel threatened by that?

The Valkyran mothership catches 42 in its invisible tractor beam before the ship could retreat.

42: Hey! What da? Um… why are we going backwards?

XR: (Pushes buttons to try to get them outta the tractor beam) They hooked a tractor beam on us! OOOOH! If only Buzz were here! Not that you’re not eminently qualified my dear, you’re driven, but- BUZZ! Ohhh…

Buzz witnesses 42 being sucked into the maw of the Valkyran mothership.

Buzz: They got Forty-two! Booster, we need more power!

Booster: She’s way past max now!

As the engine fires up, 5.5 ends up overheating and shutting down. A frustrated Buzz growls angrily.

Buzz: This rickety-old piece of Deltarrian mung-doo!

Buzz hits the wheel and ends up injuring his hand, all while 42 is sucked into the Valkyran mothership, whose maw closes once 42 was inside it.

XR: Hang on to your tail-struts, Forty-two! This doesn’t look good!

42: Oh, if I need you to tell me.

The Valkyran mothership once again fades from reality. Triangle transitions to black from the bottom.

Act Three[]

Triangle displaying the current scene starts the transition from the right side. Star Cruiser 5.5 approaches the middle of nowhere as the Valkyran mothership fabricates itself into existence. As the maw opens, Hilda and Brun emerge in their ships to examine the vessel. It cuts to Hilda reporting to Brun on her transceiver.

Hilda: This lifeless hulk of a ship has weathered many battles! We can strip it with ease!

Brun: Pity. To be denied the brutal conquest of a raid diminishes the value of our fight. Still, it beats working. Tow it in!

The ships take off before a left wipe transition shows Brun and two guards stationed next to 5.5. Hilda and Sig exit the ship empty-handed.

Hilda: Dah. It’s empty!

Sig: Just a few barrels of Jo-Adian processed cheese spread.

Brun: How anyone CHOKES down that noxious swill is beyond me. No matter. We’ll scavenge ship parts later. We just intercepted word that a convoy has left Baatiyas. Hilda! Set a course! Sig! Phase the ship!

Sig and Hilda: Yes, captain!

Mira peeks her head out of the ship to check for any guards.

Mira: All clear!

Buzz, Mira, and Booster, all drenched in Jo-Adian cheese spread, stand near the entrance of the ship.

Buzz: Remind me to thank your mom for sending that cheese spread, Booster. (Sniffs his left hand) Though we may never get the smell out of our suits.

Wipe from left transition shows a few guards walking down the hallway before they’re taken out by Buzz and Booster as they grab them and take them behind one of the doors. A diagonal triangle transition from the bottom left shows Buzz examining both Mira and Booster as they don their disguises. Mira’s more convincing than Booster as a Valkyran.

Buzz: Very Valkyran, Mira. But uh, Booster… I just don’t think this look works for you.

Booster: (Brushes his hair nervously) D-I could change the hair.

Wipe from right shows Mira walking down the hallways with a disgruntled disguised Buzz. His physical appearance fits the Valkyran look, and that’s all that matters to him. Mira looks over to Buzz as she lifts her hand to her face, keeping it in to make herself as professional in the situation as possible.

Buzz: Ranger Nova, I advise you to remain silent.

Mira: I-I’m not saying a word. (Clears throat as she looks back and couldn’t help to hold in an even bigger smile at what Buzz is wearing.)

They walk down the prison area and find XR being guarded by an unnamed guard, who already picked up on their deception.

Valkyran Guard: Halt! Hoo ar yoo?

Buzz: Shift change. We’re here to relieve you.

Valkyran Guard: Dat voyce. Yaur axcent es defenatlee nat Valkeeran.

Buzz: (Silly Accent) Wi’re froom dah “South”.

Valkyran Guard: LYEAR! Aye am froom da Southe! Daown on yaour-

Mira “ghosts” her hand through the guard's head, and takes control of her mind.

Valkyran Guard: I’ll leave now.

The guard leaves the scene.

Buzz: Since when can you use your powers for mind control?

Mira: Since now. Just, pretty much figuring them out as I go. Hehe.

Buzz and Mira take off their disguises as soon as Buzz presses a few buttons on the panel to free XR.

Mira: XR! It’s us.

XR: No kidding! Gee, you had me completely fooled.

Mira: Alright, alright it’s not gonna take them that long to figure it out either. So let’s move!

Mira grabs XR, Buzz throws the disguises on the floor, and the gang head rush on back to 42. Wipe from right transition show Booster pacing back and forth in front of 42.

Booster: Doooooh… come on, guys! Oh geee… d-I hope they don’t run into any problems.

Alarm sounds off.

Booster: D'OH! PROBLEMS!

A door opens as Mira, XR, and Buzz hold their ground against the Valkyrans, and proceed to run for the ship.

Buzz: Booster! Get the ship ready for blast-off!

As everyone enters the ship, Brun, Hilda, Sig, and the guard try to shoot down the ship. Buzz rushes over to his seat and starts the engines.

Buzz: Forty-two, don’t fail me now.

42 tears through the maw, and Buzz opens up the communicator to press a button.

Buzz: This should buy us a little time.

5.5 explodes. Brun appears from the red smoke and points her finger towards the escaping star cruiser.

Brun: After them!

Brun, Sig and Hilda aboard their ship to attack 42, and a couple other ships emerge from the mothership attack the star cruiser.

Buzz: Ah!

Buzz and Mira suffer no burns from the panel’s short-circuiting.

Mira: Aw, man! The navigational controls are toast, Buzz!

Buzz: Not again!

Brum and her second-hands surround the ship. She presses a button to communicate to those aboard 42.

Brum: Space Rangers! Prepare to experience a savage and merciless defeat at the hands of the Valkyran Raiders!

As the Valkyrans lock onto the ship, 42 decides to reveal herself, replacing the looping screen with her face.

42: Sorry sunshine, I got somethin’ a lil’ different in mind.

XR: Forty-two! I love ya!

42 dodges the assault and retaliates with the double laser cannon. Brun screams as her ship is sent flying. Sig’s ship is also shot, but not disabled.

XR: What did I tell ya, Buzz? Is this a gal you can take home to mother or what? That is if you have a mother, which I don’t admittedly, but I think you get my point.

Brun presses a button to release a grappling hook, which attaches onto Hilda’s ship.

Brun: Retreat! RETREAT!

The Valkyrans head on back inside the mothership before it fades away for the last time in this episode.

XR: Hah? Is my little Forty-two the finest ship of the fleet or what?

Mira: I don’t know what to say, XR. You were right. Forty-two is alive.

42: Thanks for noticin’.

Buzz: We all owe you an apology XR. And uh, you too, uh, Forty-two.

42: Eah, forget it. You all risked your necks to save us. Y’know, it made me realize you air-breathin’ fleshbags aren’t so bad after all.

XR: Come on! Gather around everybody! Group hug! I’m feelin’ a lot of love in this room!

Mira looks over to 42.

Mira: So, what are you gonna do now, huh?

Wipe transition from left showing Buzz’s crew in a waiting room, with a concerned XR pacing back and forth on his wheels with his hands behind his back. Mira stops him in his tracks with her hands to stop the noise from being produced.

Mira: Stop pacing, XR! You’re stressing me out!

XR sits on the only vacant chair next to Mira, twiddling his fingers, which made just as much noise as when he paced. Mira gives him a dirty look before he heads on over to Booster.

XR: You think she’ll be ok?

Booster: Absolutely! No question! (Nervous) D-right, Buzz?

Buzz: The LGMs are doing (sighs) everything they can.

The door opens, and an LGM walks out in a teal colored scrub suit. Buzz, Booster, and Mira stand up while XR bends towards the LGM walking towards him with his hands clasped together.

XR: And? Is she…

LGM: See for yourself.

42 comes out of the operation room, sporting a new roundish mechanical body, painted with the Star Command colors, and displaying the Star Command symbol on her chest. Her head resembles a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) television with two antennae on her head. Instead of mechanical feet or tank threads, she has one wheel on the lower half of her body to help her maneuver most of the environment.

42: Well… whatdya think?

XR: Forty-two… is that really you?

42: No. It’s the Fat-Pax 9000. Of course it’s me!

Mira: Hey guys, don’t we have to be somewhere else? Hmm?

Booster: Not me. I can hang around here all da-AHHHEEYYY!

Mira bumps Booster in the arm and drags both him and Buzz away from XR and 42. Both robots group up and hold their hands.

XR and 42: We have a lot to talk about!

XR: (laughs) Alright, wait. Me first! I’m gonna talk to Buzz, tell him you have to join the crew, and we can be together all the time, forever and ever, until the sun stops shining. Isn’t that pretty much, what both of us feel?

42: Mmm… not exactly. Uhmm, you see, XR, you’re a really great guy. OH boy, are you great. Any robot would be lucky to have you. But, I-I just, came into being. I’m not ready to be tied down.

XR: WHAT!? (His arm slips from the wall, and he falls down on the floor.)

42: The LGMs offered me a job designing ships. I said yes. You understand, don’t you?

XR: Oh, sure. Of course. (Chuckles angrily) Hey, I didn’t run the block, and I didn’t give you a job, and what DID I have to give? Well, certainly not a job, I ONLY HAD MY HEART! MY HEART! THAT’S ALL! AND YAAA RRRRIPPED IT OUT, AND YAA SSSSSTOMPED IT FLAT!

42 tries to console him, but XR pushes her away.

XR: I’ll be fine, eventually.

XR leaves the scene.

42: Oh, don’t take it so hard. We can still be-

Scene cuts to Buzz’s group in Cosmo’s Cosmic Diner, the first shot focused solely on XR’s face.

XR: FRIENDS! She wants to be FRIENDS!

Booster: That’s so nice! Everybody needs a friend.

Mira: Shhh… ixnay on the ends-fray.

XR: I've got friends, I wanted something MORE. A sweetie, is that so much to ask? A life path partner? Theee hhHHHECK! I've learned my lesson about women, ahhh, but now it's too late. I'll never love again.

Gorgeous Woman passes by the table, catching XR’s attention.

XR: Oh, did you see that? She winked at me. She digs me!

XR jumps for it, and the gang roll their eyes.

XR: OooOOOOH good lookin’! Don’t go! HEY! COME BACK!
