(The episode begins looking out into the vastness of space. A shooting star passes through as suddenly a red and blue spaceship flies into frame. The camera follows its course as we cut to the interior of the small ship to see Captain Blasto piloting it. We hear his inner monologue.)

Blasto: Captain's log. Day: unknown. I've been soaring through the never-ending void of space aimlessly for days, weeks, possibly even years. All contact with everyone I know has suddenly been disconnected, and I fear I may soar forever without finding my way home. (The camera cuts back to the outside of the ship as it soars past small space rocks.) Captain Blasto is many things. He is handsome, brave, intelligent, and even handsome, but one thing he is not is a quitter, so I will continue my journey until I find my home or die tryi- (Before he can finish, a space cruiser bumps into his spaceship and soars past. Blasto speaks, no longer in his own head.)

Blasto: Hey, buddy, watch where you're going! Sheesh, some people... huh? (He looks up to where the space cruiser was heading and sees Dr. Nefarious' space station.) Hmmm, this has evil written all over it. I better take a look inside. (He picks up his blaster.) And while I'm at it, I'll get that lousy driver's insurance information. (We see Blasto follow the space cruiser to the space station.)

(We cut to the inside of the space station as we see Dr. Nefarious looking up at something on his large computer screen. Lawrence is seen behind him. The doors suddenly open.)

Lawrence: Sir, I believe you have company.

Nefarious: Aaaaah, if it isn't Captain Qwark of the Rangers Corps. I was wondering when you'd show up. (The camera pans to see Captain Qwark surrounded by two Sentinel Bots (Ratchet & Clank).)

Captain Qwark: Steve, it's been awhile.

Nefarious: Indeed it has, and don't call me Steve. I'm sure you're wondering why I had my minions track you down and forcefully bring you to me aboard my space station.

Captain Qwark: It did cross my mind once or twice, yes.

Nefarious: Well wonder no longer. I have brought you here, Qwark, to assist me on a special mission.

Qwark: (Confused.) What kind of mission?

Nefarious: (Gesturing grandly towards his monitor.) Behold! (An image of Earth appears onscreen.) The planet Earth! A, ahem, "hostile" planet that needs someone to save it. And Qwark, in the whole galaxy, there is only one man brave enough to take on such a monumental task. (We cut to just outside the open doorway as Blasto silently walks up and hides behind it, listening to what's being said inside.) And that person is you, Captain! (We cut back to Qwark and Nefarious.)

Qwark: Me?

Nefarious: Of course. I mean, look at me, I could never do what you do. I'm much too weak, too frail.

Lawrence: Too dimwitted.

Nefarious: Too nice.

Lawrence: Too cowardly.

Nefarious: (Slightly annoyed.) Thank you, Lawrence. (To Qwark.) I need you to travel to this planet and wipe out all the parasites on the surface. Then and only then will we be able to go back to our home. (We cut to Blasto opening his eyes wide.)

Blasto: (To himself.) Wipe out an entire planet? This guy's a total loon. (We cut to Nefarious getting on his knees and begging.)

Nefarious: Please, Captain. The galaxy needs a hero, and the only way to save the galaxy is to exterminate the planet.

Qwark: (Thinking it over.) Welllll...

Nefarious: Think of all the fame! The fortune! Every lady in the galaxy will want a slice of Qwark after he saves the entire universe. (Qwark's eyes light up.)

Qwark: Well, if it's for the good of the universe, then I have no choice but to exterminate the planet Earth. (Nefarious gets back up.)

Nefarious: Excellent! I'll make sure you're not alone either. Feast your eyes on this! (Nefarious types on his keyboard and reveals a picture of his head photoshopped onto a ripped, robotic body that is flexing.) Oops! Wrong file! (Fiercely tapping on his keyboard.) Sorry about that.

Lawrence: Your skill at doctoring photos is admirable, sir. (A screen showing Ridley, now in his Meta Ridley form, is shown in some kind of laboratory. He roars at Sentinel Bots in the room, destroying some in his rage.)

Nefarious: My latest creation! This creature should make your world-conquering efforts a breeze. (We cut to Blasto.)

Blasto: Holy Mother of Mercury. (Lawrence looks over and sees Blasto.)

Lawrence: Ahem, sir.

Nefarious: Not now, Lawrence.

Lawrence: Sir, there is an intruder onboard. (Nefarious and Qwark look back at Blasto.)

Nefarious: An intruder! (To his Sentinel Bots.) Seize him! (The Sentinel Bots charge towards Blasto, but he is able to shoot both of them before they can get to him.)

Blasto: Nothing like shooting bad guys in the morning! (Qwark then moves in and pulls his own blaster on Blasto.)

Qwark: Put down the weapon, son. This is official Ranger Corps business.

Blasto: Hmmm... (Looks behind Qwark.) What's that over there? (Qwark looks behind him as Blasto runs off.)

Nefarious: (To Qwark.) He's getting away, you idiot!

Qwark: Huh? (He looks back to see Blasto gone.) Don't worry, I'll catch him! (Qwark runs after Blasto.)

Nefarious: Of course you will, but just in case. (Nefarious laughs evilly and pushes a button on his keyboard. We cut to Meta Ridley's room as a large pair of doors open. Meta Ridley takes flight and soars out the doors.)

(We cut back to outer space as we see the King of All Cosmos (Katamari) leisurely floating. Prince then floats up to the King's face.)

King of All Cosmos: Isn't it so relaxing, Prince? Not a worry in the world. (The King of All Cosmos then looks over to see Blasto's ship heading towards Earth. Qwark's cruiser and Meta Ridley are also seen a ways behind Blasto.) How odd. (He turns to Prince.) Prince, would you mind taking a look at that planet? Maybe bring your old man back a souvenir? (Prince shakes his head up and down.) Then off you go. (We see Prince kick his feet as he begins soaring towards Earth.)

(We cut to Earth as we see a snowy landscape. A small town rests in the midst of a small blizzard. We cut again to the inside of a warm tavern with people milling about. At the bar is Soda Popinski (Punch-Out) drinking a soda as Sans (Undertale) sits next to him with a bottle of ketchup.)

Sans: (To Soda Popinski.) Y'know, I once found a place where they sell small bottles of pop. Little place called Mini Soda. (A rimshot plays as Sans laughs to himself and Soda Popinski gets up and walks away.) Tough crowd. (We cut to the door of the tavern as it opens and Aloy walks in. She shakes the snow off of herself and makes her way to a table as the bartender greets her.)

Bartender: Welcome back, Aloy. How goes it in the snow?

Aloy: The blizzard hasn't gotten bad yet, but I heard monsters out there. Everyone should stay indoors.

Bartender: (To the bar-goers.) You heard the woman! Keep yourself safe inside tonight! (To Aloy.) Can I get ya anything to drink?

Aloy: Something warm please.

Bartender: Coming right up! (He leaves as we focus on Aloy. Suddenly, we hear the door to the tavern burst open.)

???: Somebody help! Please! (Aloy gets up and turns around to see Rex at the door.) Please, I need help! (The bartender walks up to him.)

Bartender: Woah, buddy, what's the problem?

Rex: My friend! She's in danger! A group of wolves attacked us and I got separated and I need help! (Aloy walks up to Rex.)

Aloy: I'll help.

Rex: (Hopeful.) You will?

Aloy: Lead the way. Quickly. (She takes out her bow.) Before it's too late. (Rex nods.)

Rex: C'mon! (They run out of the tavern.) I think it's this way! (We cut to see Aloy and Rex running through the snow a little later.) She's somewhere over here. I just know it. (They suddenly hear howling. Aloy runs towards the source.)

Aloy: This way! (Rex follows. We cut to them running up to a small cliffside. A little ways down, we can see Pyra being surrounded by Wolfos (The Legend of Zelda).)

Pyra: Rex! Where are you!?

Rex: (To Aloy.) It's Pyra!

Aloy: Hold onto me!

Rex: (Flustered.) What?!

Aloy: Hold onto me! I have a plan to get us down there.

Rex: Well, right-o then. (Rex grabs onto Aloy as she jumps off the cliff. Rex begins to scream as Aloy takes out her glider. They glide down and land in front of Pyra as Aloy takes out her bow and shoots a Wolfos in the face. The Wolfos howls in pain as it falls over and dies.)

Pyra: Rex!

Rex: (Unsheathing his sword.) Pyra, get behind me! (Pyra moves closer to Rex as he and Aloy eye the Wolfos surrounding them. The Wolfos slowly get closer. One Wolfos leaps over to Rex as he swings his sword at it twice. Both slashes harmlessly clash against the Wolfos' claws before the sword catches fire.)

Pyra: Let him have it, Rex! (Rex brings the sword down on the Wolfos, which sends it flying back into the snow as it howls.)

Rex: Thanks, Pyra! (Another Wolfos pounces at Aloy. It attacks with is claws as Aloy slides underneath. She then puts her bow around the Wolfos' neck as she strangles it. Another Wolfos runs up from behind, but Rex's sword, now flaming and spinning in midair, hits the Wolfos away as Rex's sword returns to his hands.)

Aloy: Yah! (Aloy snaps the neck of the Wolfos as she loads an arrow into her bow and shoots another Wolfos in the chest. The remaining three Wolfos whimper before running away.) That'll take care of them. (She turns to Rex and Pyra.)

Rex: Thank you... um...

Aloy: Aloy. My name is Aloy.

Rex: (Smiles.) I'm Rex. (He gestures to Pyra.) And this is Pyra.

Pyra: Thank you for saving me. Rex and I were trying to find shelter from the blizzard, but we got separated when those wolves attacked us.

Aloy: I'm glad you're okay. (She begins walking.) I'll take you two back to the tavern. You can wait out the blizzard there. (Rex nods as he and Pyra follow Aloy.)

(We cut to a different part of the snowy mountains as Blasto's ship crashes into the snow. Smoke pours from his spacecraft as he exits.)

Blasto: Not my best parking job, I'll say that much. (He looks around him as we see a Stantler (Pokemon) grazing in the snow.)

Blasto: An alien planet. (He looks at the Stantler.) Good Lord, these aliens are ugly. (To the Stantler.) Hey, your planet is under attack! (The Stantler looks at Blasto before galloping away.) Hopefully he's off to warn the others. (Blasto turns around to see Prince standing right behind him.) Gah! (He points his blaster at Prince.) Don't move a muscle.

Prince: Why?

Blasto: You're clearly not the same species as that mule character. I need to make sure you're not an alien invader. (Prince thinks for a second before looking at Blasto's ship.)

Prince: Is that your ship?

Blasto: Uh... yeah.

Prince: It's so fancy. (His eyes light up.)

Blasto: Top of the line spacecraft right here. Nothing like it in the rest of the universe.

Prince: Were you the one being chased through space by the other spaceship and that big monster?

Blasto: Yep, that's me. Name's Captain Blasto. Those mooks are planning to exterminate this planet, so I came to warn the people of Earth. (Prince looks around the area.)

Prince: So where are they?

Blasto: Probably hiding with their tails between their legs now that they know Blasto is onto their schemes.

???: Think again. (Blasto quickly turns around with his blaster raised as Prince looks back also. They see Qwark on a hover pad with Sentinel Bots underneath him.) Greetings, cadet.

Blasto: You! I won't let you touch a hair on the strange donkey people inhabiting this planet.

Qwark: For the good of the universe, and we're talking the entire universe here, I must eradicate this planet. You wouldn't understand. Not you or your small friend there.

Blasto: (To Prince.) You better get outta here, kid. This is gonna get messier than an order of chili cheese fries traveling lightspeed.

Prince: But I can help.

Qwark: Give up now, or... (He takes out his blaster.) I'll toast you like the bread you are. Hehe.

Blasto: I mean it, kid. You'll get hurt.

Prince: I mean it. I can really help.

Qwark: Welp, I warned you. (To the robots.) Fire! (All the Sentinel Bots begin firing their weapons as Blasto closes his eyes. Everything is quiet as he slowly opens them.)

Blasto: What the...? (The camera pans to see the Katamari ball covered in Sentinel Bots and snow. Qwark stands on his hover pad dumbfounded as Prince stands proudly in front of his work.)

Prince: I did it! (A rainbow then comes down and touches the Katamari as it is brought up back to space.)

Blasto: Good gravy, what was that?!

Prince: My dad gave it to me. Usually it's just for making stars, but it comes in handy to keep me safe.

Qwark: So you wanna play games, huh? Well here's a game called I win, you lose. (He points at Blasto and Prince.) Get them! (Meta Ridley soars in from the blizzard and roars. Blasto picks up Prince and places him on his shoulder.)

Blasto: C'mon, kid! (Blasto begins running as Meta Ridley fires fireballs behind him.)

Prince: Faster, mister! (Blasto fires his blaster behind him, but this seems to anger Meta Ridley even more. Meta Ridley attacks with his tail and swipes Blasto and Prince off of a cliffside.)

Blasto: Woooooaaaah! (We cut back to Aloy, Rex, and Pyra traveling through the snow as they hear Blasto's scream.)

Pyra: What's that noise? (Blasto suddenly lands on top of Rex.)

Blasto: Ugh... your brave sacrifice of breaking my fall will never be forgotten. (Prince lands daintily on top of Aloy.)

Aloy: Huh?

Prince: Thanks for catching us. That monster sure was scary.

Aloy: Monster? (Meta Ridley and Qwark then fly down to meet our heroes as Blasto and Rex get up.) Is that a Machine?

Qwark: More of you? Eh, doesn't matter. Give up now or I'll have my buddy here turn you to ash.

Rex: Who are these baddies?

Blasto: They're here to destroy the world. (He holds out his blaster.) But they'll have to get past Captain Blasto first! (Aloy readies her bow.)

Aloy: We're not going to let you destroy anything on this world.

Qwark: Ooooh, a bow and arrow. I'm sooooo scared! He said sarcastically because I'm not actually scared. (To Meta Ridley.) Take care of them. (Meta Ridley roars and flies forward as his claws grab Blasto and Aloy. Prince falls off of Aloy's head as Pyra catches him.)

Pyra: Gotcha. (We see Meta Ridley fly a ways away with Blasto and Aloy as Blasto uses his blaster as a flamethrower. The flames lick Meta Ridley's face as he drops our heroes in the snow, with Blasto landing head first.)

Blasto: (Trying to get his head out from the snow.) Hrngh! A small setback. (Aloy shoots arrows at Meta Ridley as he roars. He shoots a plume of fire our of his mouth as Aloy dives and saves Blasto.) Thank you. (We cut back to Prince, Rex, Pyra, and Qwark.)

Qwark: So, you're all that's left. Can't say you're too intimidating, so I'll make this quick. (He starts shooting at our heroes as they run through the snow, dodging the shots.)

Rex: Pyra, give me a boost! (Rex runs over to Pyra as she throws Prince into the air. Rex then jumps as Pyra boosts him up with her hands. He slashes at Qwark but he dodges out of the way on his hover pad.)

Qwark: So close yet so far. (Rex lands in the snow as a blast hits him in the back. He falls into the snow.) Hahahaha! (Rex's sword, now flaming, suddenly flies through the air and grazes Qwark's side. We see the sword land in Pyra's hands as she gets into an offensive position with Prince on her shoulder.)

Pyra: There's more where that came from! (We cut back to Blasto and Aloy firing at Meta Ridley. Meta Ridley soars down to them and blows them back with his wings.)

Aloy: We're hardly doing anything to this Machine.

Blasto: He's gotta have some sort of weak point. He's only part machine. (Aloy looks up to see the metal making up all of Meta Ridley's neck.)

Aloy: Its neck is completely metallic. If we can find a way to break it...

Blasto: Then it'll be done-zo! (Blasto and Aloy break off in different directions as we cut back to Pyra. Pyra jumps up to attack Qwark but misses, but as she falls back down, Rex grabs the sword from her and slashes Qwark's hover pad in half. He falls to the ground.)

Qwark: Rotten kids! (He shoots at Rex again before shooting Pyra to the ground as well. We cut to Prince panicking.)

Prince: What do I do? What would dad do? I don't have a Katamari ball anymo- (He looks down at the snow.) Wait a minute. (We cut back to Blasto as he taunts Meta Ridley.)

Blasto: Hey, cyborg. (Meta Ridley turns to him.) Want a taste of this action? (Meta Ridley shoots another plume of fire as Blasto retaliates using the flamethrower function on his blaster. The flames meet in the middle as Meta Ridley's slowly grows bigger.) Any minute now. Might wanna take the shot before he turns up the heat. (Meta Ridley's fire continues to grow as Aloy suddenly glides in. She throws a spear through Meta Ridley's neck as it breaks the neck clean through. Aloy lands next to Blasto.)

Aloy: Bullseye! (Meta Ridley's head falls off as his body goes fully limp. We cut to Qwark who notices.)

Qwark: What?! You destroyed him?! Impossible! (A large shadow then forms over Qwark as the camera pans to see a massive snowball looming above him. Prince stands next to it.)

Prince: My own Katamari!

Qwark: Uh oh... (Prince rolls the snowball into Qwark as it engulfs him and he begins rolling wildly down a hill.) Why meeeeeeee?! (We see the snowball land in a river as Qwark resurfaces in a large ice cube. We cut to all of our heroes meeting with each other.)

Aloy: Who was that guy? Why did he want to destroy the planet?

Blasto: Beats me, but if the guy who sent that space moron tried it once, chances are he'll try again.

Rex: I'd like to see him get past us!

Pyra: We'll protect this place.

Prince: Yay!

Blasto: I'd go after him right now, but my ship had some problems landing here.

Aloy: Follow me. We'll get some shelter and then we'll find out what this guy wants with the planet.

Rex: Sounds good to me.

Pyra: (To Prince.) Come on, little guy. (She picks him up as we see them walk through the snow.)

(We cut back to Nefarious' space station as he bangs on his keyboard.)

Nefarious: No! I've lost connection to Qwark and my beautiful creation! Urgh!

Lawrence: You mean your brilliant plan to use that space dunce to take over the planet didn't work?

Nefarious: How could it have failed?! I- (The doors suddenly open.) Huh? (We see two Space Pirates enter the room as one approaches Nefarious.)

Space Pirate: We understand that you have been in possession of a member of our army known as Ridley. Is this true?

Nefarious: Welllll, it may be true, it may be false. Would you be mad if it were true?

Space Pirate: On the contrary. Our leader, Mother Brain, has requested a meeting with you to discuss an alliance.

Nefarious: (Slowly grinning.) What kind of alliance?
