Episode 1: The Robot's Rescue Pod

Out in space close to Capital Planet, there is a place called Star Command. Where Space Rangers go out and protect the universe from villains and other bad guys.

Arriving to Star Command is Cruiser 42, where the galaxy's greatest hero, Buzz Lightyear and his team are coming back from their mission. Inside the ship's control room, Buzz and his teammates are preparing for landing after completing a very tough mission.

Buzz holds the communicator and says, "Buzz Lightyear to Star Command, we returned from our mission, and we're prepared for landing."

"Right away Ranger Lightyear," The man on the other line says.

Buzz Lightyear is known as the pride of Star Command. Always there when someone needs him, confident, and ready for anything.

Sitting next to him is Mira Nova, the Tangean Princess from Tangea. Who also has ghosting abilities that allow her to go through walls or to read people's memories by sticking her hand into their heads. She is also known for being confident, strong, and a bit stubborn.

"That was one of the toughest missions we ever been on," Mira says, stretches her arms.

"Yep. But we had to stop Zurg from using his machine to take control of Capitol Planet," Buzz says.

"Yeah. He would have controlled the Galactic Alliance is we hadn't stop in. Of course, Buzz is the one who really stop him," The red JoAd alien names Booster says.

Booster originally lived with his family in their farm, but always dreamed of being a space ranger. Now he is a ranger working alongside with Buzz and the team.

Just then, a small robot rolls into the scene, and says, "Come on Booster, we did it together. We distracted the hornets while Buzz destroy the machines."

The robot's name is XR, stands for Xperimental Ranger. He maybe a robot, and small, but he is able to fight alongside his team. Even though there are times where he either get broken to pieces, but the LGMs are able to put him back together.

"It was a team effort. We saved the day again, and now we're going to board back to Star Command," Buzz says.

Buzz and his team work on the control panel to land the ship back to Star Command. After landing, they report to the commander about their mission being a success. Sometime later, the team is in the office of Star Command doing some paperwork.

Mira sighs, "Sometime I wonder why we need to do so much paperwork."

"Well, paperwork is one of the hardest job of being a space rangers. But all the paperwork must be done," Buzz says.

"But there sure are more paper works than usual," Booster replies.

"Well, the sooner we get the work finish the sooner we can relax," XR says.

Then the little robot begin to roll back to the desk and do the work. Buzz and the others look at the paperwork they have on their desk.

Just then, the alarm goes off, and it's very loud.

Mira gasps, and says, "It's a…"

"Red Alert," Buzz adds, finishing Mira's sentence.

The four rangers jumps off of their chairs, and run out of the office.

On the speakers, Commander Nebula's voice comes up, and announces, "Attention Rangers, red alert! An unidentified object is closing in on Star Command! All Rangers report to the control room!"

No no time al all, all the Space Rangers are in the control room with the LGMs in control.

Commander Nebula comes up and says, "Alright Rangers, there is something that is closing in on Star Command! Now, I'm going to name a few Rangers to go out there and find out what it is! While the rest of us remain here for further instructions!"

Outside in space, Buzz and his teammates and a few more Rangers are flying in space to check out the unidentified object. Among them, one of them is Ty Parsec A space ranger Buzz knows. On these terms, Buzz is put in charge of the mission.

"Remember ranger, be persistent and keep your guard up. You'll never know if whatever it is can be hostile or one of Zurgs machines," Buzz says, informing the other Rangers.

"What if it's something else? Something not dangerous," Booster asks.

"It might still try to attack, Booster," XR replies.

"But if it's not willing to attack, then we'll be more gentle with the situation," Mira calmly confirms.

"Well, I'm not taking chances in case it does," XR says, bringing out his guns.

Ty says, "Well, you better keep those weapons up, because I see the object right there."

Everyone look up ahead to see the object Star Command has been detecting. The object appears to be a kind of pod. The pod is long about six feet all, shape of a gray tube that has some rocket boosters on the bottom.

"It looks like a 's it doing here?" Mira replies.

"I don't know, but I'm going to find out," Buzz answers. He then flies to the giant pod.

Booster and Ty fly after him. Once the three reach the pod. They look to see what that thing is.

"That think does look like a rocket, but it seems to be more of a pod," Ty says.

"Right. But a pod containing what," Buzz replies, looking around the pod.

The two Rangers look around the rocket, while Booster is able to find some kind of window on the front. Curious, Booster looks at the window that is very foggy that it's hard to identify what is inside. Booster then wipes the window to clear out the dust, and sees something inside.

That makes Booster screams, "Yaaaaaa!"

Buzz looks up, and asks, "What's wrong?"

"Th-th-th-th-th-th…there's…" Booster stammers in fear.

"There's what?" Ty questions

"There's someone in there!" Booster screams in fright.

"What?" The two men questions.

"A girl! There's a girl in there!" Booster answers, continues to yell.

Buzz and Ty become confused, and decide to see it for themselves. When they look in through the only window on the pod, they gasp to see what they're seeing.

They do see a girl inside the pod. The girl has pale white skin, dark blue short hair that has sparkles like stars, and her eyes are closed. She is wearing a white shirt sleeve button up shirt, and is wearing a blue military hat with a black strap on it. She also has some light blue pointed elf like ears.

"There is one one in there," Tyreplies.

"So what do we do?" Booster asks.

"We need to get her and the pod back to Star Command. This pod must be an escape pod, meaning the civilian inside could be in trouble," Buzz answers.

Agreeing to the idea, Booster and Ty help get the pod back to Star command. They notify the other Rangers of the situation, and they agree to help out.

After getting the pod back to Star Command, they have it placed in the Science Bay. The LGMs are observing the pod to give them a clue in what it is. Buzz, his team, and the other Rangers on the expedition are watching with their commander.

Buzz asks, "Did you find anything?"

"Nothing," the LGMs answer.

One of them, "But we found a button hidden in a cover."

The LGM pushes the button. Just then, the lid to the pod begins to open, causing some of them to yelp in fright and fall off. Everyone look to see the pod opening. When the pod is fully open, they are shocked to see a girl inside.

Now getting a fully view. She's like over five feet tall, and she is also wearing black pants, white socks, and brown slip on shoes, and a key hanging from her neck by a chain. There's also a red box about a foot tall and two feet long with a yellow lock on it, and a note attack to it. And it's next to the body.

Everyone is stunned to see the girl inside the box.

"Is she… Okay?" Booster worriedly asks.

"I'm sure she is Booster. It looks like she's a sleep for in a hyper sleep," Mira answers.

One of then LGMs bring out circle device with a handle on the bottom. There is a cord that is next to a small computer that will print out the results. It appears to be a X-Ray scanner. The LGM uses device on the girls to scan her from top to bottom. After scanning it, the computer prints out the results, and the LGMs look at the papers.

"Well, what does it say?" Commander Nebula asks.

"This girl is not human," one of the LGM answers.

"Well, she does have those strange elf ears so of course she's not human," XR remarks.

The other LGM explains, "What we mean is that this girl is not human. She may look human but she's really…"

"Non organic," The LGMs answer at the same time.

"Non organic? But that means…" Mira questions.

"That girl is really a robot," Ty adds.

"Yes! An android robot!" The LGMs reply.

"Okay so she's a robot. But we still don't know who she is or where she come from," XR replies.

Buzz walks over and takes the box from the pod as he says, "Maybe the answer is in this box. And that key she has is how we're going to open it."

Buzz puts the box down, and then takes the key attached to the chain from the girl's neck. Buzz looks to notice the paper on the box. He unfold the paper to see what he says.

Buzz looks at Ty, and says, "Ty, this box appears to be for you."

"For me?" Ty questions.

Ty walks over to see the paper. When he looks at it, the paper reads to "Ty Parsec. From your Uncle Ronald Parsec."

"That's weird? It said that its from my uncle Ron? Ty says, looking a bit confused.

"Ronald Parsec? Isn't he the scientist that used to work for Star Command before he left and continue to work at Alpha Centauri?" Buzz asks.

"That's him alright." Ty answers.

"Why would your uncle send you a box and a robot?" Booster asks.

"Well the only way to find out is to open the box," Ty answers.

Buzz gives the key to Ty so he can open it. Ty kneels down and puts the key in the keyhole, and then turns the key. Once he hears the click, Ty knows that the box is unlock so he opens it. When he opens the box, he can see something inside. There is a miniature computer screen, books, three black flash drives, disks, a backpack. Finally there is a book that looks like a journal.

Ty picks it up, recognizes it, "This is my uncle's journal."

Ty notices a sticky note on it, and turns to the pages here. When he reaches the page, what is written in the journal is a letter for Ty.

Ty begins to read the letter,

Dear Ty,

I know that we have not seen each other for a long time, but this is crucial that you read this. By the time it reaches you, I would have left this world. For years, I have been working on finding a way to make a pure energy to help benefit our world. Five years ago, I was able to create the ultimate pure energy by using star maps to collect the stars energy. This new energy is called Pure Stellar Energy. And I was able to create a humanoid robot that can withstand that energy who is inside the pod. Her name is Twilight Parsec my greatest creation and my robotic child. All of information you need to know about her will be in the flash drives, books, and disks you see in the box. She also has a charger, and a few clothes inside her backpack.

Sadly, weeks ago, I've discovered that my assistant Professor Alex Crew was planning to steal Twilight and use her against the Galactic Alliance. I was able to stop him, but I knew he will come after her. That is why I'm sending her to you. I knew that you and Star Command will keep her safe from harm. I want you to promise not to have many involved. If any villain discovered or energy and her powers, they will come after her. And also promise that you and the rangers will look out for her. Be the family like I have been for her. Take good care for you. I will always love Twilight as much as I love you Ty.

From,

Your Uncle Ron

P.S I hope you two can get along with each other.

Ty looks down, and quietly says, "Uncle Ron."

Buzz puts his hand on Ty's shoulder with a sympetic look on his face.

"I'm sorry Ty," Buzz replies.

"It's alright. I'm fine. The news just caught me by surprise, that's all," Ty replies, but Buzz knows that this is shocker for him.

Commander Nebula comes over, and says, "Either way, it seem that your uncle left this special robot in our hands. And he has made sure we have all the information we need for looking after her."

Ty gets up, and says, "You're right. We should start by getting her charged up. He said it's in the backpack, right."

For the past few hours, the rangers along with the LGMs are at work. The LGMs are looking through the files that the professor has provide them. Ty manages to find the charger and is able to connect Twilight with it to charge it up. Of course, he also manage to use the journal and other information to find the charge under her right ear. Apparently, Ronald has taken really good notes and detailed information. So they know what kind of abilities Twilight has, what she needs, and what to do when she have difficulties. Using the data, the LGM scientists are working on a turning the escape pod into a charging unit for her.

After the long hours, they are able to understand more about Twilight, especially Ty. Ty decides right off the bat that he will be incharge of Twilight since she has been made by his uncle. In fact, he's been standing by Twilight's side in the Science Bay for a while.

Just the, Twilight begins to slowly open her eyes that is showing a purple color. Twilight then tilts her head a little bit.

"Hello," Twilight quietly says.

Hearing the quiet voice, Ty looks to see the robot girl's eyes is slowly opening. Then the robot girl, Twilight begins to sit up still have the charger at the back of her ear.

Twilight looks around, and calmly asks, "Where am I?"

Ty comes over, and says, "You're in Star Command. My name is Ty Parsec."

"Ty Parsec? So, you must my father's nephew? The one I'm supposed to find?" Twilight asks.

"Yeah. In a way," Ty says.

Then he asks, "Twilight, I know this is sudden, but can you tell me what happened that caused my uncle to send you here?"

"It… It happened back in the lab," Twilight says.

She can still remember when it happen it all happen. In the lab where she has been created, there is a huge fire going on. Running down the halls is Twilight who is with an elderly man. The man has brown hair with some gray hairs on it, tan skin, and brown eyes. He is wearing a lab coat with a red turtleneck shirt, black pants, and brown shoes. The man is Ronald Parsec.

Ronald says looking scared, "Hurry Twilight!"

"Right," Twilight says.

The two continue to run through the halls with a scientists and robot guards after them. They two runaways are able to get into the lab, and shuts the door.

Ron sighs, and says, "I knew this day will come."

"Twilight, I know this is going to be hard, but you need to get away," Ron says to Twilight.

"No father, I need to stay to fight them," Twilight says.

"Twilight, you need to understand that you can't always fight back, sometimes you will have to escape. In your case, Alex found a way to temporarily shut your energy down long enough to take you. You need to leave as quickly as possible, do you understand," Ron firmly explains.

Twilight sadly sighs, "I understand, but where do I go?"

"I know just the place," Ron says.

Ron presses a button, and the escape pod that looks like a rocket has been lifted from the basement, and goes into the lab.

"This is the emergency escape pod that you will have to take. I already set the coordinates for you to arrive at Star Command and have the things you need in the box already inside. There you need to find my nephew name Ty Parsec," Ron explains.

"I understand," Twilight replies.

Then she asks, "Are you sure… there isn't any other way?"

"I'm afraid not. I was only able to make the pod large enough for you to be in. Now you must hurry inside, they'll be inside any minute," Ron says.

"Okay," Twilight answers.

Twilight gets inside the pod while Ron gets the pod ready to blast off. Meanwhile, the robots are trying to break through the steal door. Not long at all, the rocket is ready to be fired into space. Right now, the rockets on a three minute countdown.

Ron walks to the pod, and says to Twilight, "Twilight, promise me that you will be a good girl, and that you will always use your powers for good. I hope that someday, you will help people by using your your abilities. And remembers that I will always love you."

"I will. I'm going to miss you," Twilight says.

"I will miss you to," Ron says.

Twilight then closes her eyes, and put herself to sleep mode. Then Ron closes the pod tight so Twilight can have a safe trip. Soon the countdown is on zero, and the rocket pod blast off into space. Ron simply sits on the chair, to see the robot guards get inside.

Outside the lab, the rocket Twilight is on continues to be blasted into space. Soon the lab ends up exploding in the terrible fire.

After Twilight telling her story, Ty is rather rocked to hear what has happened to his uncle. He looks to see that Twilight is looking sad too. In fact, tears that looks a lot like oil are seeing from her eyes. Ty remembers from his uncle's noites that Twilight has the behavior, emotion, and other features that human beings have.

Ty turns to Twilight, and says, "I'm sorry for what happened to you. I guess it's kind of hard knowing that you special that people are willing to take advantage of it. But you have nothing to worry about."

"How so?" Twilight asks.

"Well, my uncle entrusted me to help take care of you. And who knows, from what my uncle been writing in his journal, you seem to be very interested on being a space ranger yourself," Ty answers.

Twilight becomes a bit embarrassed, "I'm… I'm surprised he mentioned it."

"He did. And that you've been training a lot, so you actually have what it takes to be one," Ty says with a smile.

"You really think so?" Twilight asks.

"That's right. You just need some time and more training," Ty says.

"Right," Twilight replies with a nod.

Just then, Buzz and his team come into the science bay to see Twilight is awake.

"Glad to see our new guest is up now," Buzz says.

"Yeah. She kind of cause a little stur around Star Command," Mira says.

"Um stur? And… who are you?" Twilight questions.

"I'm Buzz Lightyear. And these are teammates Mira, Booster, and XR," Buzz says.

"Hi," Booster replies.

"Nice to meet you," Mira says.

"Hey. It's very nice to meet you," XR replies.

"Um hello, I'm Twilight," Twilight replies.

"Don't worry, we already know about your specialty and were going to help you," Buzz says.

"How?" Twilight asks.

"Well, you're going to be living in the Star Command Science Bay. But don't worry, I'll be around to help you out when you need me. Plus, you can ask the other rangers is you need anything," Ty explains.

"And we can show you all the places to go too. You can even do what you like to do," Booster adds.

"And I got a few places in mind," XR says, trying to act smooth.

"XR I don't think she wants to go out on a date," Mira firmly says.

"I'm not going to date her. I'm simply going to take her to all the fun places to go to in the galaxy," XR protests.

"Why am I having a trouble believing it?" Ty dryly says.

"Trust me Ty, you should have trouble believing what XR is saying," Mira remarks.

"Hey!" XR shouts, feeling insulted.

Soon everyone begin to laugh while XR pouts with his arms crossed. Twilight look at the event that everyone is having, kind of reminds her of the times she has with her father. Soon, she begins laughing too with a smile on her face.

Later on, Ty and the team take Twilight to see Commander Nebula, and Twilight explains to him what has happen.

"Well, after going over the date and hearing your story, your power source is rare and special. And your father is very specific to keep all of this a secret," Commander Nebula says.

"That's correct," Twilight says.

"Well, as long as you don't cause us any trouble, you can stay," Commander Nebula says.

"Don't worry Commander, I promise to not cause any trouble," Twilight replies.

"Right. Still, Parsec," The commander says turning to Ty.

"Yes Commander," Ty replies.

"I know that you uncle wants you to be in charge of her, but I recommend Lightyear and his team to help you," Commander Nebula says.

"Um sure. But why?" Ty questions.

"Yeah. Why you want us to help you?" Booster asks.

"Because you all with be incharge of her training and her studies while she's at Star Command. Parsec will be her guardian to put it simple. Either way, you all will be keeping an eye on her, and make sure she is safe. If anyone were to find out about her, she's a marked robot," The commander explains.

"Yes commander," The five rangers say, even Twilight reply.

After the meeting, Ty, Buzz and the others are taking Twilight back to the Science lab to see the LGMs has just finish building the charger unit for Twilight. Twilight is surprised to see what has become of the pod.

"Is that the pod I was in… it looks so… different," Twilight says, with a surprised look on her face.

"The LGMs decided to use the rocket to turn it into a charger unit for you. What do you think?" XR answers.

"I… I love it… It reminds me of my old charger until, and it looks like a rocket too. I… always have a strong interest in the stars planet, and anything that goes on in space," Twilight says, looking amazed and calm about it.

"Glad you like it," Buzz says.

"And… those little green men are LGMs?" Twilight asks.

"That's right. They're the scientist who help enlist us with weapons and other technology," Mira explains.

Twilight says, "They're so small, and… cute. It's hard to believe that they possess intelligent minds."

"Well, they are the ones who made you a charger unit," XR replies.

"You're right. Thank you for this. And thank you all for wanting to be here for me," Twilight says.

"It's no trouble at all. If you need us for anything, you just let us know," Buzz says.

Twilight smiles, and says, "Sure."

Things have turn out good in the end, Twilight feels like she is going to like being in Star Command, and being with Ty, Buzz and the others. She guess that this place is going to be her new home.
