Alan graduates from high school, but he has no time to celebrate: Brains has finished loading up the <I>Zero-XL</I> craft with the <I>Thunderbird</I>s, and <I>International Rescue</I> must prepare for launch. However, as soon as the Tracy boys, Kayo and Brains have suited up and taken their seats aboard the <I>Zero-XL</I>, John contacts them from <I>Thunderbird 5</I> with the news that they have lost contact with the GDF. Fearing an attack from the Hood, Kayo scrambles <I>Thunderbird Shadow</I> to protect the launch, while Grandma, Lady Penelope, Parker and the Mechanic move mission control to Brains’ underground laboratory. The <I>Chaos Cruiser</I> appears and begins a missile attack on the launch platform, causing the structure to tilt off its axis; Kayo manages to knock the Chaos Crew’s craft into the sea, allowing Brains to launch the <I>Zero-XL</I> into space. After connecting <I>Thunderbird 5</I> to the <I>Zero-XL</I>, Brains activates the T-Drive, blasting the craft into deep space. Although the <I>Zero-XL</I> overshoots its arrival point and enters the Oort Cloud, this works to <I>International Rescue</I>’s advantage, as they quickly detect the signal they believe comes from their father, Jeff Tracy, emanating from a small planetoid that is breaking up. Scott, Virgil, Alan and Gordon mobilise the <I>Thunderbird</I>s and head for the planetoid in hope of finally finding their father – unaware that there is a dangerous stowaway aboard the <I>Zero-XL</I>: the Hood!
