Story[]
Officer Kimberly gets stuck with guard duty at Space Command HQ while Ace competes in the annual Galaxy Games. Borf learns from his alien spy that Kimberly is the lone guard, persuading him to take over Space Command with assistance from LeGrin. As Ace competes against his cheating rival Bashox to win the gold medal, Kimberly makes multiple attempts to alert him, which are ignored. With help from robotic droid Gyro, Kimberly prevents the villains from stealing a large space ship, forcing them to retreat from Earth in a Buzzer.

Trivia[]
- Despite Ace's multiple transformations into Dexter inside the Galaxy Games' arena, neither Space Marshall Vaughn nor Bashox realize they are the same person.
- Kimberly initially mistakes Borf's Buzzer on Space Command's radar as a big bird on account of Borf's deception in projecting an electronic bird image over the ship.
