OK, I know Orkono and Marrilon are in my Transformer story, but what can I say?
Yes, I know that the Saturns speak Japanese, but I think it's cute.
Also, please Review. It boosts moral.

Another day, another call, another chase…
Yep, just you're average typical day.
"Warp Darkmatter I'm placing you under arrest for the theft of the experimental plasmoid cannon!" Buzz growled as he flew faster, dodging the occasional asteroids that would fly by. Staging a chase in the Asteroid belt wasn't his first choice, but duty called.
Warp on the other hand was only getting started. "Yeah, keep talkin' big guy" the ex-ranger mocked, only to make a sharp turn back into the belt. "Let's see if you can ever live up to your word."
Dodging even more asteroids, Buzz growled as he aimed his laser and fired many blasts upon the turncoat. The only problem was, since Warp used to be his partner…he had a pretty good knowledge of most of his moves…
However, Buzz had something that Warp didn't…
…More laser fire came from three different directions as Mira, Booster, and XR swooped in and took their turns at firing upon Warp.
"Good job team! Keep on him!" Buzz ordered, continuing the pursuit.
"Sir!" came the reply from the team.
Warp scoffed and glanced behind him. Not those rookies again. It was like they could never get a hint, but then again, they DID work with Buzz, and of ALL the idiots of space, Lightyear was the type of being that NEVER took a hint well….
"Booster, you and XR head him off! Mira and I have your back!"
"You got it Buzz!" Booster saluted and did as told with no question...
"No problem Buzz, just leave it to me!" XR replied coolly, following Booster quickly.
Buzz looked to Mira, who nodded, and the chase continued. Warp wasn't giving up, that much was for sure. The arrogant hot-head had a good lead, and it was obvious that he wasn't going to give up at ALL.
Now hopefully this plan worked.
Once Booster and XR got to the front, they immediately opened fire upon the turncoat, who in turn fired back upon them.
"Give up Warp Darkmatter!" Booster said enthusiastically, still firing upon the bad guy.
"Not a chance, rookie" Warp said in a raspy voice, pressing a button on his armor. Within seconds, a dozen hornet bots were around him, all firing on the rookies.
"Not bad, Warpy, but can you do THIS?" XR grinned, takeing out all of his guns at once and preparing to fire. Before he could do anything, however, Warp had already fired a spike bomb at him, sending the robot back and sending an arm flying out into the outer part of space.
"Oh for the love of- AAAHH!" XR yelped as he was hurled outwards by the other robots.
"XR- Wha-!" Booster was cut short of helping his robot friend, and got serious, as even more robots appeared. The large rookie frowned and activated his laser, intent on showing that evil NEVER would prevail.
"Hang in there, Booster!" Buzz called as he and Mira flew in, firing at will. Mira took some clean shots, and then used her ghosting powers to mess with the circuits. After that was said and done, the trio took off to help XR.
Warp took this opportunity to get into a good speed and at least shake these creeps off and get to his ship that was close to a large planet that had provided as cover…
…Of Course, it seemed that the chase had just started…Not in the mood to have his ship blasted for the umpteenth time, Warp started to fly into the nearby planet.
"Hey Buzz- That Planet doesn't look like it's one of the ones in the Ally manual" Booster said, as they continued to fly after Warp as fast as their jets would allow.
Buzz glanced at the rookie, and then actually studied the planet that they were gaining on. It looked like a very large planet, with thick icy rings. "That's because it's not." The captain said, grimacing. "That's a rouge planet with allies of its own…"
"Are they friendly?" Mira asked, looking over, a serious look on her planet. "Help in finally getting Warp would be GREAT."
"We still don't know" Buzz cleared his throat. "They never answer anything from the Galactic Alliance, OR Star Command…We know zip about them…except that their-"
"Weapon crazy" XR finished, quickly stopping his jets.
In front of them, as Warp neared the rings, large cannons and guns appeared in the rings, and all aimed at the agent of Zurg. With a gasp, Warp slowed himself to a stop, looking around…ALL of the guns were aimed at HIM…
The weapons were still and silent…pulsing steadily, ready to attack…one of them scanned the turncoat and a beep sounded lightly…then a red X appeared on a screen on one of the weapons…he was NOT welcome…
The agent paused and then flew forward again…
….just to have many blasts fired at him in frenzy.
As Warp got attacked, Buzz hovered and watched with his team. "This planet is extremely defensive…They don't take too kindly to strangers."
"Obviously" XR commented, pointing. "Are we still gonna get our man or not?"
"Wha-"
Buzz paused as he noticed Warp flying around, dodging the blasts, and heading into the atmosphere of the planet. The blasts followed, but unfortunately didn't hit their target…
"Rangers, pursue!" Buzz ordered, flying swiftly after the escaping fiend. He was greeted by the planet's defense system, which made him pause for a brief moment. He was scanned…and a yellow mark appeared on one of the machines, before the weapons stood down.
With a confident grin, Buzz signaled his team and the four pursued, the guns on high alert , but not firing.
"That's weird, I thought you said this was a rouge planet" Mira inquired, looking from the weapons, to the leading captain.
"Not complaining. As long as we get to Warp, and stop him from-…whatever he's doing." Buzz replied.
"Real smooth, Commander" XR said sarcastically, as they entered the atmosphere….
As they entered, two pairs of glowing eyes watched the group. Both figures looked to each other, then looked back at the intruders, optics narrowed.
**s**
"Captian, We have approaching intruders. One of them works for Evil Emperor Zurg, and the others are Star Command Rangers" A shadow ran into the command room and stood at attention. "Awaiting orders, sir"
"Attack the agent…shoo the rangers away…and for all that's decent, get the Queen to safety" The captian growled. "Commander won't be too thrilled if she's harmed."
"Yes sir!" The soldier turned and ran, other soldiers running with him into the light, revealing cat-like robots. "Troops, alert the Saturns!" he growled. "Half of you are with me in attack! PC, you take the other half in getting the planet on alert, and get the Queen to safety"
"Yes sir!"
**b**
"For crying out loud, why don't they ever give up?" Warp muttered as he flew further into the planet, the space rangers right behind him. He Spotted a city below…but every time he thought he was getting closer, it only seemed to get farther away…
"Warp, give it up! We don't need to drag an innocent planet into all this!" Buzz yelled at the fleeing villain.
"'Innocent?' I thought you said this was a stuck up loner planet-" XR Started to say.
"Just because they're silent, doesn't mean they're stuck up, XR" Buzz said, glancing over. "Just….non-cooperative."
"So we don't know if they're friendly or not?" Mira asked, glancing behind her with a slightly worried look.
"Not known…only contact was with the LGM's home world, and that was brief"
"So what do we do since they have the rights here, Buzz?" Booster asked, looking to the man 'with the plan'
"My suggestion would be make sure we're not on their menu" Mira replied, flying away from the group quickly. "Incoming!"
"Mira- What are you- WHOA!" Buzz and the other three were sent whirling in the wind, as two figures rocketed past them with no concern what so ever.
"Hey, we're flyin' here, if you DON'T MIND!" XR yelled.
There was no answer, but as soon as they past the rangers, they both took out weapons, and without hesitation, began to fire on Warp.
….Their aim was quite good…
…Because within about ten seconds, Warp was hit and falling quickly due to the heavier gravity on the planet.
The two figures stopped in mid air for a moment, before the fire in their jets on their wings turned from orange to blue…then both of them sped for the falling villain.
"whooa" Booster's eyes got wide. "They're FAST!"
"Think I could get me a pair of them?" XR asked, raising an 'eyebrow'.
"Focus, Rangers" Buzz commanded, trying to fly faster. "Let's finish what we started."
For Warp, things weren't so easy. As he fell, he felt something grab his leg. With a growl, the villain twisted his body, only to find himself spinning in mid air, out of control. Someone grabbed his wrist and set him straight…
However, he was still falling…looking up, he saw a strange blue robot with red and yellow stripes…and…cat ears?
The robot's optics were narrowed dangerously at him…and he was still flying at a high speed, even though he had Warp's wrist in his hand. His grip tightened and he twirled a gun in his other hand.
"ARE YOU INSANE?" Warp yelled, glancing down. "YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE US CRASH!"
"baka…" The robot muttered lightly before he finally unmercifully yanked Warp upwards. With a yelp, the agent of Zurg went back up for a second, before the second figure tied him in an energy net, and attached it to a strange device.
The second figure was very similar to the first, except with light blue coloring and strange puffs on the tops of his cat ears…
"In the name of the Protector of the Light, and also that of Kiyomi, Queen of Saturn; we place you under arrest" The light blue robot growled, tightening his grip. The darker blue robot crossed his arms at Warp, before slightly glancing back at the newly arrived Space Rangers.
"Begging your pardon!" Buzz called, trying to hover, but due to the new increased gravity of this planet, he found that difficult. He saluted in respect, and slight boastfulness. "Buzz Lightyear, Space Ranger… that convict is ours."
He got no emotion from the robot-cat-android….things…
They both looked to each other, and the light blue one continued to secure the energy net. The darker blue one faced them. "So desu ka…" he muttered lightly. "I am Orkono, Commander of the Saturn Omions…and second in command of this Planet."
"Well Commander Orkono, with all do respect, that convict-" Buzz begain once more.
"Warp Darkmatter. Major criminal. Agent of Evil Emperor Zurg." The lighter blue robot finished, a sly grin on his face. "No duh"
"Marrilon" Orkono looked over. "Notify the Police that we have a code orange. And get that piece of dog chow in the reformatory."
"Now wait just a minute-"
"Warp is OUR convict" Booster said, frowning. "You're in violation of Star Command person-"
"On the contrary" Orkono growled. "This fleabag was on OUR planet when captured…he's ours."
"Alright kitty litter!" XR gritted his teeth and pulled out his guns. "Hand over the crook and nobody gets hurt!"
A moment went by, the two sides growing tense at each other. Orkono and Marrilon seemed to get ready for another fight…
"Wait a second- isn't he Buzz Lightyear?" Marrilon pointed, raising an optic, and pointing at the ranger.
Team Lightyear paused out of surprise and then lowered their defenses. Buzz nodded to his teammates and then looked back to the two droids. "That would be me" He confirmed, trying to seem friendly, but still stern…after all…this planet was still on the neutral list…potential good could be found here.
Orkono looked to Marrilon. "Maybe now would be a good time to settle that dispute the counsel was having." He looked back to the team. "We'll let you have your convict, if you agree to come to the city of Okiyahma and settle this whole 'Galactic Alliance' nip that we've been hearing." The Commander held up a finger. "We aren't sure what to make of you…rangers."
"Noted" Buzz seemed to get slightly friendly…and more of a show off… "But being apart of this can guarantee protection from the evil-"
"Zurg. We know, we know." Marrilon smirked.
Orkono glared at Marrilon slightly in rebuke. He then motioned the rangers to follow him. "Fine, follow us then." With that, he and Marrilon turned and flew for the far off city, Warp in tow.
"You sure this is a good idea Buzz?" Booster asked, looking at Buzz with caution.
"Any chance of peace is a good idea, Booster" The captain looked over and smiled before following after the robots.
"We might wanna keep our guard up anyways." Mira suggested, flying after them. "Any potential good could be potential evil as well."
"Where did you hear that?"
"From YOU of course" Mira said, giving Buzz a sarcastic look.
"Well as long as those fuzzy eared bozos don't start any more- ooh! Look at those lights!" XR got a big grin on his face as a large city came into their sights. The robot whistled, impressed. "cha-ching, get a load of that palace."
"That must be for the 'queen' that that guy, Orkono was talking about" Booster said as they neared the city. He slowed down a bit to look at the sights…for a dark planet, it was actually really pretty…
…Of course, as Booster slowed down, XR sped up…and as Booster quickly spun around to point something out to his robot pal…
SMACK!
"Oops- Sorry XR" Booster grimaced at the recovering bot. He slapped the robot in the back as encouragement…which only ended up cracking one of XR's wings…
And Gravity took it's toll…
"WAHHH!"
"XR!"
XR found himself pummeling for the ground…MAN Gravity was FAR WORSE on this planet than Capital planet! All he could hear was himself wailing, and Booster calling for him…
BANG…Boing!
"ooooww…" XR shook his head and grimaced. "…well that's weird, that landing wasn't as bad as I thought it would be…" The robot sat up and scoffed. "When I get my hands on Boo-"
He was cut short when he found himself face to face with a native…a very small native…
She looked a LOT like a cat…except that she wore a purple and yellow dress, a cute metal head band and a strange wrist band…and she was….YOUNG…
"nya?" The Kitten tilted her head at XR and studied him in curiosity.
XR only blinked, before grinning. "Hey- uh…just 'droppin' in! Don't mind me, nothin' to see here"
The kitten blinked at him, and then giggled slightly. "sugoi desu." She giggled again. "You're funny"
"Well, see- it's nice to see that kids still have taste" XR grinned and forced himself up…just to fall back down again. "What the-?"
The Kitten took a few steps back and then put her paws behind her back and watched the robot try again and again to get up. The gravity on this planet was WEIRD!
"Say- uh- Kitty cat- you wouldn't mind telling me how you can stand, and I can't?" XR mumbled, face in the ground.
The Kitten took a few steps up, as if to help him, then looked up suddenly. She paused and then turned and fled quickly. As XR looked back up, he was surprised to find her gone.
"What?...is it my breath?"
XR tried to get up once more, before a stern hand grabbed his wing, and he found himself staring at Orkono, looking pretty annoyed.
"You were better off in the air, baka" He muttered, looking up and flying back into the air, XR in tow.
The Robot ranger growled as he hung in Orkono's grip. "EXCUUUSE me, cat scratch; it wasn't MY fault that-"
"Shut up, We're almost to the lab…maybe we can get some stabilizers for you spacers…"
"Sheesh what a jerk" XR frowned and crossed his arms.
