We have all always wondered how four of the veteran Rangers we see on the show, like Buzz, Ty, Rocket, and Warp, all came together to be part of the same class, or at least how they knew each other. From what we've seen, it is clear that Buzz knew Ty as another friend, has a rival with Rocket, and has a complicated relationship with Warp. This tale is what I hope to be, the answer to that mystery. So let's investigate together, shall we?
Disclaimer: I don't own anything associated with Buzz Lightyear of Star Command; they belong to Disney/Pixar.
They came. They came from the four directions of the wind, from diverse backgrounds and histories to gather all into one place.
The Space Ranger Academy on Capital Planet.
The place for young men and women of different ages, races and worlds to come together and become defenders for the Galactic Alliance, the collective government of senators and leaders who work for peace and justice to reign within all. The young men and women who wanted to become Rangers would work for the Galactic Alliance's closest ally, Star Command, space station and home of the Space Ranger Corps.
But our tale shall highlight the events and lives of four young men.
These four boys would one day grow up to be strong heroes that the Galactic Alliance would be proud to call Space Rangers.
They were free to be themselves and enjoy the independence they gained while they still could enjoy it. Their independence led them to become more than teammates and room-mates; it would lead to amazing friendships and bonds that could have lasted for a lifetime…
However, only ONE of them was called on by the winds of destiny to mature into the Pride of Star Command.
His three friends would likewise mature, but like the unpredictable forces of nature, their paths would take twists and turns that no one, not the least of all they, could have ever suspected.
Two of his friends would stay and fight alongside him to bring peace and order to the galaxy, but the light-hearted friendships they once have had with the Pride of Star Command slowly began to evolve and change, a seed of venom planted within the transformations.
The other friend…his fate floated within a darker air, as a hornet does when it goes on the attack against other creatures.
How this all came to be, one may ask?
Their hearts beating faster than the sound of the shuttle engines, the young men and women, who traveled miles and miles just to come here to the Space Ranger Academy, could not contain their awe and excitement, as their transports slowly descended into Capital Planet's atmosphere. Their mouths hung agape at the beauty of Capital Planet's blue skies and peaceful grounds, but their mouths came close to dropping to the ground at the sheer magnitude of the fact that they were there, standing in front of THE Space Ranger Academy. It was all they could do to not let out huge gasps.
The terracotta-colored building itself shone in the daylight, with its white marble staircase, its wide balconies attached and floating above the ground, its smaller silver buildings for various classes, and its artificial white and green Star Cruisers standing proudly on the roofs of the school. In front of the school and grassy field was a small training ground, complete with a climbing wall, a set of training bars, a chomping machine with a set of fake jaws, a small lake, a weapon planted deep within the earth, and a finish line. The Star Command emblem was branded proudly on the very top of the school numerous times to indicate that this was THE place to train and become a force for good.
Many of these people could not wait further to do their very best, but did they have what it took to become Space Rangers?
"I know I do," Four various voices thought to themselves as they each boarded off the shuttles and walked into their new surroundings, breathing in the smell of burning oil and dew-glazed grass in the morning wind. These four voices, little did they know, would eventually come together to form some of the greatest, and perhaps the most tragic, of friendships, anyone could have ever seen.
Author's Note: Yeah, it's short, but this is more or less an introduction to everything. I hope you enjoyed this prologue. Please leave a comment or review and tell me how I'm doing so far.
Peace, everybody!
