Right around the same time that Ty and Booster were taking care of XR and Minerva NOS was flying down the hallways himself on his own search, wanting to find the Rangers before they could gather more to stop him and his plans. Moving as quickly as he possibly could through the air he covered one half of the station in little time and was now starting to head through the other half where he was going to be met with a little surprise. Carefully anticipating NOS-4-A2.0's moves Mira watched where he was going using her ghosting powers to see what path he was taking. When he was starting to head towards where Buzz was hiding she took a shortcut back to get ahead of NOS and after arriving through the wall she backed up to it and crouched down looking across the hallway to where Buzz was in the same position she whispered as loud as she could, "He's about to turn down the hallway and come this way. I'd say at least a few minutes at most." Nodding in understanding Buzz replied, "Good. Get your wrist laser prepared and be ready to move on my mark." Doing as she was told Mira got herself ready as well as Buzz did, waiting as those few minutes passed until they heard the familiar sound of NOS's wings as they turned down the hallway and steadily coming closer. Watching Buzz out of the corner of her eye Mira waited for his signal the more NOS got closer to their position and just when her nerves were about to get the best of her Buzz gave the signal and the two jumped out and faced NOS with their wrist lasers ready to fire. Suddenly seeing the two come out of nowhere NOS quickly pulled up and hovered in front of them, giving them a fully heated glare at the same time. Snarling in disappointment a bit he said, "Well now, I was hoping to have a nice hunt trying to find you but I guess you saved me the trouble of wasting my energy to destroy you." Returning the glare with one of his own Buzz disagreed, "Sorry NOS-4-A2.0, but there's no chance that we're going to let that happen." Rapidly getting angry NOS snarled in fury, "Then let's see how far you can go at trying!"
Letting out an ear-splitting screech NOS launched himself at Buzz metal fingers ready to tear him to shreds. His seasoned reflexes quickly reacting to the oncoming attack Buzz quickly ducked out of the way and taking aim again fired a shot at NOS, at the same time Mira taking cover to not get hurt by accident. The laser hitting its mark it sent NOS off-kilter and crashing into the wall which really made made him furious. Pulling himself out he made another dash at Buzz this time managing to grab him before he had a chance to react again and returned the favor, throwing Buzz forcefully against another wall. Landing hard when he slid to the floor the force of the impact almost knocked him out but luckily he was still able to keep himself from falling unconscious. Shocked and scared that he was hurt Mira ran over and helping him to lean up she asked, "Oh my gosh, Buzz! Are you okay?" Really feeling the pain from that Buzz groaned bit and answered, "Don't worry, I'm fine. My bell's just been rung a bit, that's all." "Sadly, that bell's going to be broken by the time I'm done with you two," NOS menacingly growled as he slowly approached the two. "Now that I have my beloved's stellar energy coursing through my circuits I will no doubt become the most powerful being in the entire universe. No one would dare try to oppose me as I take over every inch of the Galatic Alliance destroying it once and for all and rule everything with an iron fist so strong that even Zurg himself realizes that I am the superior being and bows down to me." Trying his best to stand up, with some help from Mira, Buzz repeated, "No matter what you say to deter us I'll tell you again: we're not going to let you succeed." Preparing himself to deliver his next attack NOS seethed, "Then tell me this. How will you be able to stop me when in the next two seconds I will have wiped you out of existence? Once everyone in the universe has learned that its greatest defender no longer lives they will know that they will have no choice but to surrender once and for all."
"Guess again you over-glorified hunk of junk!," Ty said as he jumped out of the ceiling and landed right between Buzz and NOS, aiming Minerva's blaster straight at the vampire head on. "Sorry I was late to the party but I needed to stop a couple of party crashers before arriving." Growling in disdain, quickly figuring out what Ty was talking about, NOS's optics glowed in fury and said, "Parsec. It's about time that we finally faced each other since the last time we met when you defied me and threw me onto that metal spike supposedly destroying me forever. But now I have returned better and stronger than before and I am more than willing to use my new strength and power to get my revenge for what you did to me." Not budging an inch as listened to NOS deliver his speech Ty gave the vampire a steady glare and returned, "Well then, since your on such a revenge binge yourself I think I'll take my revenge on what you turned me into, causing me nothing but grief and agony that almost made me lose my job for good...and also take my revenge for turning Minerva into the monster that she should never be." Slightly confused for a second NOS realized what Ty was talking about and slightly chuckling he replied with an evil smile, "I must say Parsec, for you to be taking your revenge for her you must really, really like her. Perhaps even...love her. Sadly once I finish you off she won't even remember that you had existed as I make sure that she remembers the only one that truly loved her from the start is me." Once those words left NOS's mouth it was enough for Ty to lose his temper and launch himself straight at NOS hoping to take him down by brute force, forgetting that he had Minerva's blaster in his hand. Seeing that his provoking had work NOS smirked in satisfaction and quickly moved out of the way, sending Ty face first into the floor. Laughing at the futile attempt to attack him NOS pointed out as he flew closer, "You see, Parsec?! You have no chance of beating me with that pathetic attempt! You might as well just stay down and surrender because there is no way you're going to win!" "Then consider this my sign of a surprise victory," Ty remarked, quickly turning onto his back, taking aim and fired a high-speed, powerful blast from Minerva's blaster right at NOS's chest. Not expecting that to happen NOS had no time to react and was hit head-on in the chest sending him flying through the air and deeply crashing into the wall and the floor. The blast having been so strong it blasted a hole right into his chest and caused major damage to his power core. As he was malfunctioning and shutting down he managed to say, "Th-th-this is imposs-poss-ible! My-my-my upgrade was sup-p-posed to give me-me my ad-vant-ag-ag-age to my v-v-v-victory! This-is-is can-n-n-not be happen-n-n-ing!" Getting up and walking over Ty said to him, "Then you should have never have tried getting your revenge right off the bat. It's what usually get villains when ever they try something like this. At least now I've gotten my proper revenge for turning me into that accursed beast so long ago. So how about you stay down and shut down for good this time." Giving Ty a fading heated glare NOS said as his final words, "Y-y-you think th-th-that may-ay-ay have won b-b-b-but I pr-pr-omi-s-s-se you th-is-is-is: O-o-o-ne day soon I-I-I will be b-b-back and I w-w-w-will be the one t-t-t-to have m-m-my revenge."
With that NOS lost his power and shut down, his body falling limp and his optics fading out to nothing more. Stooping down and triple-checking to make sure that NOS was shut down he stood back up and walking over to Buzz and Mira he asked, "You doing okay, Buzz?" Nodding in agreement Buzz replied while rubbing the back of his head, "Yeah, I think I'll be fine. Head's a bit sore but otherwise not too banged up. Though I do have to say your plan worked to absolute perfection. The way you were able to trick NOS-4-A2.0 like that was pure genius." Nodding in agreement Mira added, "Not only that your plan saved all of Star Command, pretty much all of the universe." Bashfully smiling at that Ty was about to say his thanks when he remembered one very important thing. Getting a recollecting look on his face he said, "Which also means that XR and Minerva are free as well! Come on, we need to go see if they're doing okay!" Buzz and Mira nodding in agreement they followed Ty back down the hallway to where Booster had their friends while along the way Buzz called Nebula to tell him the all clear and to have a few Rangers pick up NOS's powerless shell.
