Hello, everyone! So the first time I wrote this story I really couldn't go anywhere with it and I lost my desire to write it. Until I learned about the original story of it and I got my inspiriation back to write it! And it turned out so much better than what it was before! So here we go with the first chapter of the rewrite! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Buzz Lightyear of Star Command or the characters. Just my character Minerva.
Long, long ago on the planet Canis Lunis there lived a prince in a beautiful palace that was surrounded by a very large and beautiful garden which was filled with beautiful blooms known as lunar roses that would glow whenever the planet's green moon was in the night sky. The prince was a kind man who ruled with a fair sense of justice but he had cynical side to him and he had a hard time keeping it check, especially around people that he had a dark foreboding about. One evening as a storm was passing through a mysteriously hooded robot had come to the castle to seek shelter from it and being shown in the prince came out to greet him and the moment he saw him he instantly got a bad feeling about him. When the robot approached he bowed in respect and said, "Your Highness, I humbly ask that I stay for the night here in your palace at least until the storm passes and I can be on my way. I hope that you can understand that being a robot such as myself the rain might make me rust before I can reach my destination and I certainly cannot have that."
Trying his best to keep his sarcasm from sneaking out the prince agreed, "Of course. My home is always open to those who need a place to stay in times such as these. Whatever you need to get yourself recovered before you continue your journey will be provided."
Beckoning one of his robot guards over he ordered, "Sentry One, please escort our guest to his room and see to it that he has what he needs to rest. Once the storm has passed we'll let you know and help send you on your way with what you need to make the rest of your journey comfortably."
Saluting the prince the guard agreed, "Right away, your Highness," and began leading the way while the other robot watched with a suave grin and bowing again he replied, "Thank you, your Highness. You are a most gracious host and I thank you for providing for my...well being," then followed the guard as his grin turned to a malice and evil one as he and the guard walked out of the room. Watching from behind the prince got a suspicious look in his eyes and knew then that his guest couldn't be trusted and needed to figure out a plan to expose him and get him out of his home before anyone was hurt. Thinking of what to do he got an idea and followed behind, going another way so that he wouldn't be seen and be able to spy on the guest from a safe distance.
While they made their way to the room the mysterious robot stealthily looked around, seeming to survey the architecture and everyone that passed by them. Especially all the robots that had passed by, making him lowly chuckle at what he had planned for them. Of course he had to...take care of his escort before he had a chance to follow out his carefully laid plans for everyone that resided in the palace. Turning down another corridor the guard walked a few feet further and stopped in front of the door, telling the guest, "Here you are, sir. Should you acquire anything else to make yourself comfortable let anyone know and it will be provided to you. Will there be anything else you might need for now?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact...there is," the guest replied, his malice grin opening wide and revealing a pair of fangs that slid out from underneath his upper lip. "I'm a bit...famished and you are just what I need to begin my first course."
Flinging his arms out to his side he flexed his claw-like fingers then cried out a monstrous screech and attacked the guard, pushing him into the room with a satisfied laugh under his voice. Having arrived in his hiding spot just as the two arrived at the room the prince watched as his guard spoke to the guest then watched in shock as he heard what the guest said in return and attacked his guard. Knowing then that he was right all along he stepped into the corridor and going to a panel in the wall he sounded the alarm and called out, "Guards, the guest has attacked Sentry One and is now considered a major threat. All available hands are needed to stop him before it's too late!"
Motioning for a few guards that were already there to follow him the prince ran to the room and stepping inside he gasped in absolute shock as he watched the guest feeding off of the energy of his guard leaving him powerless on the floor. Watching as he was releasing his fangs from his victim the prince cried out, "How dare you do this when I gave you my hospitality and home to stay in! I knew immediately from the start that you weren't who you seem and this just proved that you're nothing but pure evil! And anything that's pure evil has no place being in my palace! Surrender yourself now and we will be merciful in your punishment!"
Leaning up as he listened to the prince's demand the guest lightly chuckled and replied, "How right you are, your Highness," then turning and ripping off his hood to reveal himself as an energy vampire he grinned maniacally and finished, "I am pure evil and it's my plan to bring evil to this land and rule it in my power and glory and only leave you as a memory of you could have been!"
"Sorry but that's not going to happen!," the prince countered, pulling out his blaster and firing at the vampire prompting the guards to do the same.
Quickly evading the shots the vampire activated his red holographic wings and flew over their heads, heading out of the room and letting out another vicious and ear-splitting cry. Everyone ducking as he flew over the prince quickly turned back and pushed his way out of the room, saying to the guards at the same time, "Come on, we've got to catch him! We can't let him get to anymore robots and attack them as well!"
Following his command the guards followed right afterwards, being joined by more as they continued to chase the vampire throughout the palace. Hoping to slow them down some the vampire used his energy blasts to destroy statues and other objects lining the halls but he wasn't expecting his pursuers to be able to keep up with them as they reached the glass atrium, which showed that the storm had passed and the planet's green moon was high in the sky turning everything a shade of green from its glow. Flying in and turning around to face the prince and his platoon the vampire called out, "Give it up, you foolish prince! There's no chance for you to stop me when I can control your entire platoon and have them turn against you!"
Using another version of his energy blast he hit several of the guards and taking control of their mechanical minds then having them turn on their fellow guards and fighting against them. Watching in horror the prince finally lost his temper and he called out, "If you think that this is how you're going to stop me then you've got another thing coming. Defense systems, activate!"
Hearing the vocal command several lasers descended from their hiding spots and quickly began firing, taking out several of the controlled guards before the prince commanded, "Defense system, lock onto the vampire and fire!," and following the command the lasers quickly locked onto the vampire and fired before he had chance to react. The shots hitting him squarely in the back the vampire cried out in pain and hurtled to the ground, crashing and sliding a few feet towards the prince. Slowing to a stop he continued to shake in pain and losing his concentration the guards he took over were released and everyone surrounded the vampire to capture him. Stepping forward the prince said, "Now, will you stop this foolishness and surrender or will you have to be dismantled to prove to you that I'm serious about you not being here?"
Letting out a slow seething gasp of pain the vampire growled, "Then perhaps I should show you who is truly the foolish one around here," then lurched himself at the prince tackling him to the ground and starting to fight with him.
Not expecting the vampire to do that the prince tried to get out of the way but was too late and felt the weight of the vampire against him as they went to the ground and started to struggle with him. Quickly gathering his strength the prince pushed the vampire off of him flipping him over at the same time and sending him back towards the entrance of the atrium. Getting to his feet the prince watched as the vampire righted himself and turning to face him he let out an aggravated screech then took off at an incredible speed and slammed into the prince, sliding him back a few feet as well. The two pushing against each other the prince told the vampire, "No matter what you do I will never back down and I will never quit. It's the reason why everyone calls me the Wolf of Canis Lunis!"
"Then let's see how you handle truly being the Wolf of Canis Lunis then, shall we?," the vampire snarled back. Gripping the upper left sleeve of the prince's jacket he ripped the cloth down to the skin then bared his fangs and sank them into the prince's arm, grimacing at having to taste the blood of an organic being.
Crying out in pain the prince managed to punch the vampire away and release his arm at the same time, sending another sting a pain through the wound and gripped it to make it go away. Glaring at the vampire as it rubbed the spot on its face he asked, "Sweet mother of Venus what in the world did you do that for?" At that moment he felt something strange inside of him that quickly covered his entire body and feeling it get worse he asked, "Wha-what's going on? What did you do to me?"
A corner of his mouth pulling into an evil smirk the vampire rose up into the air and flaring his wings he replied, "I simply placed a curse on you, that's all. A curse that's about change you from the inside out!" Then letting out a wicked laugh of satisfaction he flew higher and revealed the view of the moon sitting perfectly in the atrium's ceiling.
Looking up at it the prince suddenly felt several wires pop out of the wound on his arm and quickly started to convulse in pain as the transformation took hold, at first transforming his left arm into a clawed metal paw then the rest of his body into the form of a monstrous looking wirewolf. Once the transformation was complete the prince was horrified to see what he looked like and seeing this the vampire chortled and said, "Now you truly are the Wolf of Canis Lunis. And the only way to break this curse is for you to gain the love of a young woman who has a pure heart and sees the beauty of others from within themselves. But, of course, what woman would be able to see the man within the beast when they're running away and screaming in absolute terror?"
Absolutely shocked and horrified by that the wirewolf fell to his knees and let out a howl of absolute anguish as the vampire cried out a laugh of triumph and flew up and out of the ceiling making his escape. As he did the palace took on a look of being old, worn, and about ready to fall apart at any moment.
Seeing that he was left alone besides the guards watching him the wirewolf slowly stood to his feet and muttered in a new, mechanical tone of voice, "I swear that you will pay for what you've done to me, you evil bucket of bolts. Fine then, if I'm to find the love needed to break the spell then so be it, and once I do I'll hunt you down and make you regret everything that you've done. I can certainly promise you that!"
Ordering his guards to resume their duties and to attend the broken ones to be fixed he stalked off to his quarters to rest and recover from his ordeal as well as try to figure out how to find the young woman would be able to break the spell. Years had passed from that night and during that time the wirewolf had fallen into state of utter despair from having absolutely no luck finding the right young woman that had the power to break the curse he was under. After spending so much time in that horrible form and each person that came across the palace finding him absolutely horrifying to look at he was self-assured that there was no one that would be able to see the man within the beast and set him free from his cruel imprisonment at long last so that he could get his revenge on the vampire that made him this way.
I'm so glad that I got my inspiriation back for this story now that I know the original story (with the help of a few vids on YouTube) I'm sure that this will be better than ever. Alright, I'll see you next chapter!
