While Jan, Jace, and Blip are stranded in 1965 with Dr. Quest, Space Ghost presses the time-and-space-swapped Quest Kids and Bandit into impromptu service to combat Dr. Nightmare. Separated from Space Ghost when the Phantom Cruiser crash lands on the Nightmare Planet, Jonny holds his own against Dr. Nightmare's mechanical beasts with a laser rifle... until it runs out of juice. Dr. Quest manipulates the desert Army base into evacuation so that he, with Jan and Jace, might work on the future tech without interference. Race Bannon parachutes in from his meeting with Jade to lend a hand.
