The Wrong Hands

Chapter 1: Out of the blue.


Way out on the outer rim of the Orion Galaxy orbited the planet LegoEgo around a star. The planet was a barren desert wasteland with craggy rocky outcrops and befitting water supplies here and there, but in negligible quantity. It looked dispiriting as to weather there was any life on this rock but to surprise a race of humanoids called the Egoians inhabited the barren place. Along the planet's largest water supply, the Lamaren River, these people built a monumental city. Temples lined the river, Shrines were built to honor each of their Gods, Zamoran, Plagerk, and Kameno. And an ultimate weapon was created at the pinnacle of their largest temple. It was called the Light of Orion. They built it to keep inhabitants from other planets and systems from coming into their city. It had the power to shoot across an entire galaxy with fearsome power. But a great sand storm eddied up and engulfed the entire city and the race of Egoians were lost and so was the Light of Orion.

"Or so the legend goes," Lex Morgans told her fellow team mates as they were finished setting up camp on the planet LegoEgo. "What we are here to do is uncover this ancient city and rewrite the history books. This is the greatest archaeological dig in all of history, so let's go out there and reawaken this city!" Lex encouraged the rest of her colleagues. With a cheer the dusty crew grabbed their equipment and started out to the staked out work area and began excavation.

Lex tightened the laces on her hiking boots and grabbed her back pack witch was full of picks and chisels, brushes and shovels. She heaved it over her shoulder with a smile and walked out of the main tent for a days work.

Lex, short for Alexis, was a leading Archaeologist in the field or ancient civilizations on outer world planets. She followed old myths of the galaxy were ever they might lead her in hopes to uncovering truth and setting it straight. She was a young girl, about the age of 27, with a tall slender frame. Though her facial features were soft and feminine her body was sturdy. From all the hard work out in the field with heavy equipment toned her body's muscles. She had long blue ,almost black, hair witch was tied back in funky motifs. Her work outfit was a pair of men's shorts with cargo pockets, hiking boots and a T-shirt. On first look she looked human, but that was only half true. Her Mother was in fact a Turanian from the planet Turan. Turanians are the same species as Warp Darkmatter, their features include the yellow eyes, blue skin, and dark blue hair. Being half human and half Turanian gave her dark blue hair, yellow eyes but she had the Caucasian skin although she did have a very faint blue hue to her skin tone and a blue birth mark on the small of her back. Her home world was Turan but once she got out of collage she left her home and has been going from planet to planet, to galaxy to galaxy ever since. Her home was a tent on an archaeological dig. Also the moving and the constant change of the work labors didn't allow her to have any kind of personal relationship. But she never felt lonely as long as she always had legends and myths to look into. Reading was her favorite hobby next to digging.

On top of a rocky sand dune Lex was busily digging with her shovel through the rock filled sand. It had been at least two hours now of digging and still yet she hadn't hit anything that was a building or an artifact. The sun was getting high in the mid day sky by now and temperatures where reaching into the 90 degree neighborhood. Lex stopped shoveling for a bit and whipped the sweat from her brow with the back of her hand. It was getting unbearably hot out. Lex took off her sweat soaked shirt and threw it to the dusty ground. It was OK since she had a tank top underneath. Out of the blue the sands started swirling. Dust was flying everywhere.

"Sand storm!" Lex cried out as she climbed out of the hole she was digging in and grabbed her shirt from the ground to cover her nose with. "Everybody get in the tent and lock it up!" If the sand flew into the main tent it could get into the circuits of the machinery and the dig could be postponed.

The volunteers were scrambling for cover. The sand was blowing so much it was almost impossible to see where you were going. Some stumbled over rocks, while others ran into poles or tripped over the ropes that distinguished the different areas. They resembled picnic ant looking for shelter from the rain as the scurried to the tent.

"Agh!" a worker cried out as he ran into a sharp rock that was protruding from the sand. The man fell to the ground in pain grabbing at his knee. It was bleeding pretty bad and he needed to get in before sand got into his wound and caused infection. Lex almost fell on top of the guy.

"Come on! Give me your arm!" Lex stooped down and slung his arm around her shoulders to help him keep balance as she helped him back to the tent. Once inside she handed him over to the medical personal to have his wound healed and bandaged up. Outside the storm suddenly stopped as quickly as it whipped up. That was unusual since sand storms usually lasted a few hours. But the sound of a ship's hatch opening told Lex all she needed to know.


Outside one of Star Command's Star Cruisers landed as the sand settled back to the ground. Everything had been covered with sand. People's equipment were covered with sand and everything that they had dug up didn't even look like it had been touched yet. As soon as the engines turned off and the sand settled the door at the top of the ship opened and the ladder extended out to the ground. The first Ranger to step onto the land was the young and robust Space Ranger, Buzz Lightyear. He looked around for someone until his eyes set on the camp a few meters away. The camp was established with at least 30 personal tents a kitchen tent, a medical tent, and a one very large community tent.

"Where are all the people Buzz?" Booster the Jo-Adian Ranger asked his hero and friend.

"Hmm," Buzz looked around and finally pointed his finger as the community tent. "My best bet is the man we're looking for is in there."

"Are you sure of that big guy?" XR the robotic Ranger questioned his leaders ability to lead.

"I'm Buzz Lightyear, I'm always sure," Buzz broadcasted with confidence. "Come on Rangers this way." Buzz lead his team off through the sand.

"Yuck! This dry heat is going to dry out my skin!" Mira exclaimed.

"Your skin? What do you think all this sand is going to do to my innards? I'm gonna rust and the LGMs will be grating sand out of my joints for months!" XR told her his situation.

"Well at least you can be rebuilt. It will take forever to replenish the moisture back into my skin." Mira grabbed a lock of her orange hair, "Not to mention it's provoking split ends!"

"Quit complaining Rangers," Buzz talked over his shoulder, "A Ranger does not care about comfort or looks. We are here on a mission and that's what we must do. If The Light of Orion falls into the hands of Zurg it could bring upon the destruction of every planet in the Galactic Alliance."

"That's why we're here to get it first, right Buzz?" Booster asked of Buzz.

"That's right Booster. As long as Star Command has it under lock and key the galaxy will be safe." the team arrived at the tent, "Now let's find this Lex guy." Buzz opened the tent flap and stepped into the crowed of diggers. He looked around but all he saw looked like just common folk. "I am Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. Who is in charge here?" Buzz asked looking around for any responses to his question. All they did was clear a path to Lex.

"I am," Lex spoke up as she walked towards the Rangers. Buzz looked at the fetching woman walking towards him. He became ridged and didn't blink. Lex looked at him, "Who wants to know?"

Buzz didn't say anything until Mira had to elbow her captain in the ribs to get his mouth to open. "I.. I.. Ido," Buzz spoke up. "I'm Buzz Lightyear I come in peace. I'm looking for a....." he was stopped short by Lex pushing him aside to point out of the tent door at his Star Cruiser.

"That thing yours?" She asked peeved.

"Why yes that's Star Cruiser 42. The fastest ship on the fleet and..." Buzz was stopped again.

"Do you know the damage you caused?" she leered at him, "Your ship's engines created a huge sand storm. It got into everything and covered up all our work!" she ranted at him. "We couldn't see our way back to the camp and now I have a crew man down!" She poked her finger into Buzz's chest making him cringe back away from the irate woman. "We're going to have to tack on another week now to the completion of this dig thank you very much."

"Feisty," XR said as he rubbed his hands together.

"I'm sorry, I had no idea," Buzz pleaded with her. He found the girl attractive and didn't want to make a bad first impression on her.

Lex got off her tippy toes and stood down from him. She sighed trying to bring her temper down. She removed a lock of dark blue hair from her eyes, "Of course you didn't. Anyways what is it you were looking for?" she asked him.

"I'm looking for a Lex Morgans," Buzz didn't know the man he was looking for was in fact the woman who had just been yelling at him.

"You're looking at her," she crossed her arms and smiled at him. She was proud to declare that she herself, a woman, was the leader of the whole operation.

"Oh! I'm sorry!" Buzz apologized, he didn't want her to start yelling at him again, "It's just you know I'm used to there being a umm," he didn't know how to tell her his one track mind frame of there always being a male at the helm.

"A man in charge yes I know. That's usually what everyone thinks," she sighed at the lack of confidence in a girl to lead. Buzz shook his head in agreement with her. "Well what do you want?" she asked him the reason why he was here, she felt as soon as he found out what he wanted he could go.

"Well if we could," Buzz put a hand on her shoulder witch was quickly swatted off by Lex. Buzz grimaced and kept his hands at his side then, "Talk to you in privet?"

"Fine," she turned to the workers who were starting to get lazy just standing around waiting for her to tell them what to do, "Well what are you people waiting for? Get back out there!" she commanded and they all followed her lead. "Alright, come on we'll speak in my tent. Follow me." she started to walk off to the other end of the community tent to go out that door with Team Lightyear on her heels.

"Wow! I've never been asked to a girls room before," XR commented.

"Hmm gee I wonder why!?" Mira scowled at the robot.

Lex lead them out along through the desert past tents and rocks through the heat but in the back stood her tent. She opened the flap and they all stepped in. Surprising to them it was like a small house inside. There were flaps dividing it into separate rooms. There were chairs rugs, and lots of books. Lex turned on a light since her tent was dark to keep out the heat of the sun. "Make yourselves at home," she motioned to the chairs, "Can I get anyone a glass of water?" She was very kind in offering them a drink. She felt as if this was her home and these were guests in it.

"No thank you," Buzz said as he pulled up a chair and sat down.

"I'll be right with you, I would like to change out of this dirty shirt first," she walked behind a flap into a room that must be her sleeping quarters to change her shirt into something nicer. Buzz stared after her.

Mira caught site of him again and elbowed him, "Something over there Buzz?" she knew very well what he was looking at. You didn't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out he was intrigued by Lex.

"What? Oh ahh no no nothing Ranger Nova. Why do you ask?" Buzz tried to sound as if he was perfectly normal.

"Oh I don't know maybe the fact that you haven't taken your eyes off a certain female since you got here," XR sneered at his captain. He knew he caught Buzz.

"Buzz has a crush?" Booster spoke up, "Oh that's so nice!" Booster was happy for his friend.

"I do not have a..." Buzz was silenced by Lex coming back into the room.

"So what is it you wanted to ask me?" Lex didn't hear their conversation. She had put on a blue silk shirt witch she tied the bottom in front and rolled up the sleeves. She had cleaned up nicely and Buzz couldn't take his eyes off of her as she slowly lowered herself into a chair. All he could do was stare jaw dropped. "Ranger Lightyear? Cat go your tongue?" Lex asked him in a pleasant tone.

Buzz shook his head to clear all thoughts of lust from his head and get to work, "Umm yes. You see I was sent on this mission here, Miss Morgans.."

"Please, just call me Lex," she asked of him.

"OK then, Lex." Buzz found it a good thing to be able to call her by her forename, "Star Command learned of your dig here and of a myth of a weapon called the Light of Orion."

"Yes go on," Lex told him to continue on with his story as she sipped water from her glass.

"Star Command has reason to believe that this thing has the power to destroy planets from long distances,"Buzz went on to tell her.

"As long as an entire Galaxy actually," she was intrigued by his knowledge of the Light of Orion. Just maybe he wasn't as lethargic as she had once thought earlier this afternoon.

"Yes, and if you were to find it we have speculations that the Evil Emperor Zurg would surely steal it and use it to destroy every planet within our galaxy. Crushing the Galactic Alliance," Buzz told her the gruesome fate that would come if this weapon fell into the wrong hands.

"And you want this weapon?" Lex asked him a bit annoyed that it would not go into a museum.

"Well, yes. You see that's the only way to keep the galaxy safe," Buzz continued on.

"It belongs in a museum. Not locked up on a space station," she said in detest to the idea.

"No it wouldn't be locked up for the public but in a Star Command museum," Buzz promised her, "Guarded by the finest Rangers." Lex sighed and put her head in her hands. This wasn't what she wanted for the Light of Orion, she wanted it for all the world to be able to see. "If you don't give it to us I'm afraid we will be forced to confiscate it." Buzz sighed. He didn't want to seize it from her. "It's just to keep the galaxy safe."

"Fine. But I want this exhibit to be open to the public. Something like this could change the course of history," those were the terms of her conditions on which the find would be given.

"Agreed," Buzz said getting up and shaking hands with Lex, he just hoped she wouldn't find his palm sweaty.

"We'll start looking tomorrow morning then," she smiled. "It's getting late," Lex stated as she looked out of the tent, "I'm sorry we don't have any extra tents for you and your crew to stay in, but you're welcome to stay in my tent if you like. It will be a little snug in this room but it's better then out there in the freezing desert nights."

Buzz smiled, "It will do fine, thank you."

"Yeah, You like this don't you Buzz?" XR teased him, but still smiling at Lex Buzz hit XR on his dome helmet with a crashing fist.

"Well, good night." Lex said to her guests as she faded behind the flit that lead to her room.

"Yay! A sleep over!" Booster yelled out with joy.

"Mira, how about you and I share a sleeping bag hu? Conserve body heat?" XR winked his metal eyes at her.

"How about I give you a fat lip!" The Tangean yelled at the perverted robot.

Buzz came into the tent carrying three Star Command sleeping bags with him for his crew to use and a battery charger for XR. Buzz threw the charger at XR, "Power down XR!" Buzz said coldly. He was sick of him and Mira's squabbling back and forth.

"Yes sir!" XR took a plug out from the front of his tin can body and plugged into the charger and shut himself down.

The three other flesh Rangers took off their Pulsar 200 Enviro Suits and Battle Armor and set them aside to sleep in their pajama like under suits. They climbed in underneath their sleeping bags for a nights rest.


Mira and Booster were out cold in no time flat but Buzz couldn't sleep. He had things going through his mind at lightning speed. Zurg, the coldness, and mostly Lex. He rolled over and tossed and turned but he just couldn't sleep. He laid on his back and put his arms behind his head and stared off into space. He sighed deeply because he had fallen in love deeply.


Buzz wasn't the only one to not get any sleep. Another was up at this time of night also. It was Lex. She had wandered into her study room to read the myths and many books she had about the Light of Orion. She looked through every book to get some clues as to where the location of it could be. For all she knew it could be under the Ranger's ship. She stopped reading and looked up when she thought about the Rangers. Buzz stuck out in her mind the most. He was handsome, and smart. But she shook the thoughts of him from her mind. 'Forget it Lex. He's a Ranger it would never work out.' she went back to her studies. She placed the book she had been looking through down. There wasn't anything useful in that one but maybe another. She got up and looked through all the tittles on her shelf until she found another one. Lex took is from the shelf and brought it back to sit on the bench seat by the light for further study.


But Buzz just couldn't sleep and when he saw a light was on in another room her got up to inquire it. Could it be thieves? Maybe Lex had just forgotten to turn off the light in that room. Maybe it was Lex. Whatever it or who it was Buzz just had to get up and go find out. He threw the cover of his sleeping bag open and quietly stood on the floor trying not to wake the other two sleeping Rangers up. He stealthily walked to the door to Lex's study room and opened it up sticking his head in to take a peek around.

Lex heard the sound of the ruffle in the doorway and was startled to find someone's head poking though, "Agh!" she said in startle. She jumped a bit and tossed her book around before she finally got everything under control. She sighed in relief that it was no one she needed to worry about. "Oh, it's just you. You scared me for a moment there."

Buzz felt kind of bad for startling her, "I'm sorry! You know I just saw the light from the door and thought that thieves were in here," he showed her he wasn't snooping, he had good intentions, just watching out for her. "You're up awful late." Buzz said as he came in through the door into the room.

"And the same could be said for you," Lex got him. Buzz just smiled and shrugged his shoulders in a 'OK you got me there' manner. "I'm just trying to get an idea about where precisely the Light of Orion is." she account for herself as she went back to putting her nose in the book.

"Do you think it will be in there?" Buzz questioned pointing to the book in her hand.

Lex shrugged with a frown, "Not sure. It might be. Any clues would greatly help." she leafed through the pages as Buzz stood before her and studied her. He was spellbound by her blue hair, her soft complexion, her honey colored eyes. "You see here," Lex spoke as she pointed into a book. Her words brought Buzz out of his fix. "This is a sketch of the city, maybe not accurate but it will do for reference. Maybe it will give us some clues." she patted to the seat beside her for Buzz to come sit down and look. It was an offer he gladly took her up on. He walked around to her left side and took a seat on the bench next to her and Lex shared her knowledge with him. "You see the Light of Orion was at the top of the tallest temple, witch would have been about 1000 feet above sea level." she pointed to the sketch. According to most professionals and other city outlays the most important building always lied at the center of the city."

"So that would be about here?" Buzz asked as he took her small hand gently into his and moved her finger to where he wanted it to be on the map.

"Umm yes," Lex agreed with him. She brought her fingers into her palm to get him to release his grip on her. His sudden actions seemed to make her uneasy. "That's correct." Buzz drew his hand back off of hers sensing he was making her feel skittish. "Now contrary to idea the Light of Orion wasn't a big gun. You see it was in fact some sort of crystal prism. It caught the light and magnified it into a powerful laser that...." Lex felt Buzz's hand slip under her chin and to her other cheek. The Space Ranger no longer could enshroud his emotions for her. He turned her face towards his and Lex dropped the book to the ground out of fright. What was he doing to her? Before she could say anything he used his other arm to coil around her waist drawing her closer to him. Before she knew it he had pressed her to his lips for a kiss. Lex was scared and threw up her hands to push off his chest but that made him hold her tighter. She didn't try and struggle though, she let him go on with his passion for her and let him have his way with her and became his for the time. He was very gentle in his hold on her and in his kiss. His lips were soft and his hand on her back was gentle although his grasp was unbreakable. If she wasn't sitting on the bench she probably would have collapsed on the floor.

When Buzz lifted the lids of his eyes he couldn't believe what he had just done. He was scared that he scared her with his sudden actions. He stopped his kiss and slowly let her go. Lex was a bit shaken up about it, but it was more shock then fear of him. "I'm sorry." Buzz said. He was sure that he had frightened her.

"I think I should go rest now," Lex said hiding her face from Buzz who was still sitting on the bench. She got up and started for the door, "Good night Buzz."

Buzz watched as she slipped behind the tent flap and off to bed. He felt that he was too pushy. He shouldn't have been so forceful on her. He sighed discontent in his lack of self control. He got up off the bench and he too went to his sleeping bag and climbed in. He found it even harder to rest then before. He felt that he should go tell her he was really sorry but decided against it thinking if he came into her room she would really think badly of him. But the fatigue finally got the best of him and he drifted off to sleep.


In Lex's room she was lying wide awake. She couldn't get the event that had happened out of her mind. What was she supposed to make of all that? Just out of no where he just took her into his arms and kissed her so zealously but also he was careful. She had feelings for him too but she didn't know what to do with them. Should she return his affection? Or should she forget it? He was a Space Ranger, she was a scientist. They couldn't be together, could they? Her work took her all through the universe and so did his. Was there a chance that they could build a relationship? She couldn't get it out of her mind, so many emotions and thoughts going through her head at one time. But it would have to wait until tomorrow for all the racing thoughts wore her mind out and put her to sleep.
