A boy is the only family member without superpowers in this Disney Film. The world depends on him saving his family from computerized brainwashers. Will he realize that it doesn't take superpowers to be a hero in time to help them defeat the villains?

In 2015, Zenon Kar is 2 years older but no wiser about the dangers of meddling, but when she shows Nebula how to play a new game, she inadvertently empties out Commander Plank's office and is assigned work detail in the Alien Patrol lab. Worse: the space station is now under command of the military, and General Hammond is assigned to command the station and boots Commander Plank out of his office. Even worse: he assigns Zenon to look after his daughter, who turns out to be her demanding old nemesis Margie, who threatens to have her dad kick Zenon and her family off the space station if Zenon doesn't obey her. Zenon then discovers that her space station is being decommissioned due to damage from Windom and Lutz's plot, so she sneaks down to Earth to try to stop it after she gets a message from aliens who seem to want to meet with Proto Zoa. Margie wants to go too, so she sneaks down to Earth as well but makes it look like Zenon forced her to go with her. With Aunt Judy's help, the girls track down Proto Zoa, who has gone into hiding during a dry spell, and convince him to join them. With Margie, Aunt Judy, Nebula, Orion (the Alien Patrol lab guy), Proto Zoa, and her mom, Zenon goes to meet with the aliens near the moon. Unfortunately, their ship runs out of fuel and they nearly crash to their deaths on the moon, but the aliens show up and rescue them. They turn out to be friendly; communicating with Zenon telepathically, they reveal that they've been lost on space for 3 years and need the ship's navigation charts to get home--just taking them would be rude. When they have the charts they tow the ship back to the space station, where General Hammond refuses to relent, saying the space station is too badly damaged and must be destroyed. Margie stands up to him for once, but it isn't enough until the aliens return and repair the space station as a thank-you gift for helping them. With the space station saved, Commander Plank and General Hammond are assigned to command it together, Aunt Judy marries Plank, and Proto Zoa plays at their wedding, dedicating his new song to Zenon, having been revitalized by the whole experience. The aliens had actually been trying to communicate with Zenon, not Proto Zoa, using the transmission of his old concert to do so. Margie convinces her dad to let her stay, she and Zenon become friends, and attraction builds between Zenon and Orion.
