Disclaimer: I don't own Treasure Planet..yada yada BAH HUMBAG!

Story Note: I googled and wikipedia and watched Treasure Planet a dozen times, yet the sphere/map that Jim finds doesn't have a specific name. So for the story's sake I've named it the Transporter. But I still don't own it!


Chapter 2: Commanded

" Dear God."

Gray eyes swept across the scene, flaming heat reflected in pools of utter disgust. A human, weathered, tan face watched in silent horror at the destruction done to the passenger vessel. He felt disappointment and anger build up once again, the frustration of unsuccessful capture starting to affect him. These unknown pirates dared to make him look like a cadet, tripping over his bootstraps while blindly searching for some sort of clue.

" Commander-In-Chief, there's no traces of another vessel within 400 eons of this location." A blue pigmented specimen announced, pushing his spectacles forward.

" Flocen, are there any traces of an unregistered vessel making port within a galaxy?" The Commander questioned sharply.

Images flashed across the spacer's glasses as his violet eyes scanned the information scrolling across the screen. Diagrams as well as logs organized themselves, before the spacer pressed his scaled covered forefinger to the side of the lens. Instantly the images were swiped from the screen, returning to it's transparent state.

" Negative Commander Gibbons." An apologetic voice returned.

" Damn." Gibbons muttered, turning away from the scene before him.

" Four passenger vessels have fallen to this mystery pirate, and we have yet to fine a lead!?" Gibbons barked incredulously.

The Flocen flinched at his captain's harsh words, taking his place within the group of the crew. While Gibbons casted his stormy eyes on the sailors of the Galatical Force. The destruction of the Soaring Star burning behind him, a red aura seeming to illuminate against his white apparel. The angered commander knew that a regular investigation from the force would not be enough to track and trap this new threat.

" Get us to Anthea." Gibbons stated, watching as water from fire-fighter vessels rained over the hungry flames. " Fast."

" Commander?" Flocen questioned.

" Get me the Gliders."

/*~*~*~*~*~*~/

" CAPTAIN HAWKINS!"

Crystal blue eyes that had been scanning the heavens rolled in annoyance. Their owner dropped his head in defeat as his brown bangs hung loosely against his forehead. Knowing that being a captain his moments of peace and quiet were always brief. He then let out a sigh as he observed his own apparel. He didn't look very high in command with his white cotton shirt that was mostly unbuttoned, the sleeves casually rolled up. To his brown pants and casual black buckled belt and brown shoes, he might as well just be another spacer.

" Yes, Cadet?" He questioned, leaning his tan arms atop the crows nest.

" Commander-In-Chief Gibbons sent out a request for all Gliders!" The Cadet squeaked.

At this Jim right his posture, surprised that he was called into action by his Glider status. Instantly he grabbed a hold of the ratlines, sliding down them to the main deck with ease. Instantly the Cadet stood at attention as he placed his hand in salute position.

" Tell Jenkins to get this ship to Anthea." Jim informed him.

" A-Anthea!?"

" Yes, planet Anthea within Neptune's galaxy." Jim explained slowly, a smile tugging at his lips. " Which holds Spaceport Anthea, a great city where the Galatical Academy is located. The same planet where the Galatical Council convenes."

" O-Oh! I know that Captain!" The young spacer smiled before returning to his anxious manner. " I was just surprised- but I didn't mean to say you wasted your time explaining it. I mean you are the Captain- or should I say Glider! The first human one after all-"

" Lawrence!" Jim interrupted him with a laugh.

" Sorry Sir- uh! Captain Hawkins...Glider Hawkins!" Lawrence stuttered, looking up at his commander.

" At ease, go about your duties." Jim informed him, giving the sixteen-year-old a pat on the shoulder.

Lawrence nodded, his blond hair bouncing enthusiastically as he ran to his station. Jim watched on remembering how excited he was to participate when he was a cadet himself. He then focused at the task at hand and made way to his quarters. Upon entering he observed the large scroll that sprawled across his desk, the location of his current position shown in a hologram hovering a few feet from the parchment. Stopping in front of the map he pressed a finger to the spiral shape of a galaxy. Instantly the hologram shifted giving a view of multiple galaxies and planets laying upon a grid, red dots marking different coordinates.

" Four attacks already." Jim murmered, counting the red spheres. " In no particular order."

Jim frowned as he leaned closer to the location of the last attack. He scrutinized one of the spheres, holding his gaze. As though if he stared long enough it would all make sense. Before he could pull away the red sphere suddenly burst into showering red lights; much like fireworks. Jim stumbled and covered his face in a surprise, almost losing his balance in the process.

" WHAT THE-"

Suddenly the red sparks of light turned a light shade of pink as it formed into small circles. Instantly they grouped together into a undefined blob, two large black eyes glinting as laughter bubbled from the pink blob.

" Morph!" Jim laughed, shaking his head in relief.

" WHAT THE!?" Morph shrieked impersonating Jim as he recreated the spacer's scared expression.

" Ha-ha very funny." Jim returned sarcastically.

" He-he, yeah, funny!" Morph giggled returning to it's natural state.

Jim smiled as he tickled Morph's stomach with a slender finger before redirecting his attention to the map. His smile slowly fell as the looming red lights flashed threateningly. A sick feeling spreading throughout his lower abdomen. It was times like these where he wished he had the gold spherical map in his possession that would instantly transport him to Athena. This caused him to sigh, knowing that the Galatical Council announced that it was too dangerous for any one spacer to be in complete control of.

' This new, pirate force couldn't have gotten a hold of the Transporter could they?' Jim pondered.

The feeling in his stomach seemed to intensify at the the thought. He shook his head knowing if that were true a much bigger uproar would have been made....but still, the meeting was foreboding. He felt a warm, gooey, substance caress his cheek. He could see Morph's body out of his peripheral vision, his concern apparent.

" Try to relax Morph." Jim soothed. " It's going to be awhile till we make port."

With a giggle the pink blob flew around Jim's head before slipping underneath the cabin door; off to imitate another crew member. Jim turned away from his desk, gazing out a window which mocked the design of a porthole. Stars glinting and shimmering back at him, he wondered if the unnamed evil force was gazing at the same stars. The twinkle of the star's light turning from a relaxing shimmer to a mocking glint. Daring him to explore every ball of gas. To try to destroy, let alone find, the pirates that took cover behind their blinding light.

" You can't keep running forever." Jim whispered an oath.

" I'll find you."

An oath he planned to keep.

/*~*~*~*~*~*~/

" YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME!"

Madison glimpsed beneath her as she watched a mop of black hair soar by on a solar-sail. She couldn't help the laughter that escaped her as the adolescent boy looked up at her; his pink tongue sicking out at her.

" We'll see about that." Madison smirked.

Without warning she kicked off the engine of her solar-sail, causing the flap to close. Madison felt the familiar rush of adrenaline as she went free falling, plummeting towards the choppy waves of a stormy ocean. The boy who had previously tease her instantly felt a sense fear turn his veins cold; realizing that she was going to fall right on top of him. Hurriedly he grabbed a hold of his sail, jerking the sail in front of him causing his flight to come to a screeching halt. Instantaneously Maison deployed her sail and turned on her engine, coming to a halt right in front of her companion. A worried face popped out from behind the sail, before it melted into a frown.

" What was that about me never catching you?" Madison questioned the boy.

" Not fair! You nearly killed me!" He pouted. " As well as yourself for that matter."

" I swear Micheal, you sound just like your mom." Madison rolled her eyes, thinking of her pestering aunt.

" Do not!" Micheal yelped. " If I was you'd be in big trouble for being out here, let alone those clothes."

" What?" Madison questioned in mock horror.

She then motioned to the brown pants that were old, patched, hand-me-downs of her father. Making a sweeping motion from a pair of Micheal's work boots, to a loose cotton shirt, a black ribbon keeping her hair in place. A small leather belt securing her outfit from falling off; the items much too large and unflattering for a woman's stature. Two gold hoop earrings completing her outrageous ensemble.

" Why Micheal? You don't think I look 'a vision of respect and charm'?" Madison quoted Aunt Norien, as she fluttered her eyes comically at her cousin.

" Yeah, well more like a vision of a cheater!" Micheal retorted still angered about the stunt she pulled.

" Would it make it better if I kissed your boo-boo? Huh little boy?" Madison teased, before zooming up to the edge of a jagged cliff.

" Hey!" Micheal put his sail into gear, sailing next to her. " I'm only two years younger than you!"

To put emphasis on his point, Micheal cut in front of her and landed on the cliff; Madison quickly landing next to him. He gave her a victorious smirk as Madison ruffled his hair fondly, before turning off her engine. She then tiredly flopped to the ground, catching her breath. Micheal joined her as they looked out onto the sun starting to sink beneath the waves. Madison observed her cousin, from what she could remember of her uncle Thomas he had the same dark hair and slender nose as Micheal.

She knew that the reason why they bonded so well was because each grew up missing a parent. She felt a pang of sympathy, wondering what life would be like if her uncle hadn't been involved in cargo ship accident. He was a serviceman and while working on a routine cargo ship there was an explosion with the solar engine; he had been standing right next to it. She knew her aunt Norien wouldn't have had to move in with her while her father was away. For that Madison felt a bit guilty, because she wouldn't want Micheal to live anywhere else.

' Hell, I'm not sure what I would do if aunt Norien wasn't there to explain 'my time of the month.'' Madison internally smirked.

" This view's amazing." Micheal stated, shaking Madison from her revere.

" Yeah, I bet the view is more amazing up there." Madison commented looking heavenward. " Could you imagine what it must be like? To soar on a military ship, fighting off pirates with a sonic pistol. Meet different species, do what you please. The law not applying to you, while getting to travel through galaxies."

"Sounds like you want to be a Glider more than a spacer." Micheal stated with a knowing smile. " They don't have to give reason to anyone but the Galatical Council. Going on missions, hundreds of dollars for each accomplishment."

" That would be nice." Madison agreed glumly. " In all honesty, I don't know how much longer my dad's going to be a spacer; with his health. I doubt Norien's antique shop will give much support."

" I guess it's up to you then." He replied, a perplexed look growing on Madison's face. " You better find a rich man to marry."

Micheal chuckled as Madison playfully punched his arm. She then lay down onto her back, playing with the familiar locket around her neck. Lacing her hands behind her head, brown eyes took in the pale twinkle of far off stars. Spotting the north star, she found herself wishing she'd brought her telescope.

" Wish I could see the stars better though." She voiced her musings.

" It's already sunset." He reasoned.

" Hm." Madison agreed.

" SUNSET!?"

Madison bolted upright as she started packing up her solar-sail, while Micheal copied her with a questioning expression. It wasn't until they were racing towards the house that Micheal remembered that his mother and Uncle Arthur would be back from dinner soon. Hurriedly they ran to the back of the house, hopping the gate to the backyard. Quietly they climbed through Madison's window then quickly deposited the solar-sails underneath Madison's bed.

" Now do you remember what we did tonight?" Madison questioned, frantically pulling her hair into a bun.

" We went over my numbers, then watched Space Wars." Micheal repeated, tugging off his dirty shirt.

" Good, now go hop in the shower then get your bed clothes on." Madison ordered, pushing her cousin out the door. " If Norien catches me like this I'm going to wish I stayed home."

Micheal scurried to the bathroom while Madison frantically pulled off her belt, removing her shirt and pants. Just as she started on her boots, she froze hearing the sound of the front door sliding open. The sounds of her father and Norien talking in hushed tones before Norien called out to her son and niece.

" We're home!" Her father added.

Madison abandoned tugging on her boot straps as she just started tugging them off. After she got one off she took her other boot in her hands and started pulling; hopping up and down frantically.

" Madison?" She heard her aunt approach her door.

" AH!" Madison yelped as she pulled a little too hard and fell to the floor with a thump.

" Are you alright dear?" Norien questioned.

" Uh, one moment!" Madison called, tugging her blue nightgown over her head.

Madison reached to open the door before she caught a glimpse of her head in her mirror. She frowned at the dust that had settled on her face from sailing in the canyon. She quickly went to her water basin and washed her face and hands. Madison didn't even want to think about the state of her hair, stuffing the tangled mess beneath a lacy night cap Norien bought her.

" Yes?" Madison asked calmly, opening her door.

" There you are, I just wanted to ask how Micheal was tonight." Norien explained with a skeptic look. " Madison, you looked flushed! Are you out of breath?"

" What?" Madison conciously slowed her breathing. " No, I just finished a bath. Micheal's in there now I believe."

Norien didn't seem to believe her, so Madison walked from her room to the living room. She greeted her father as he hugged her and questioned how Micheal was. After assuring them everything went fine they sat down. Arthur sat slowly, propping his knee up on the wooden table before him. Norien instantly placed a medipack on his knee; that seemed twice as swollen as his other. Madison decided not to comment on the matter, taking her seat next to her father as they turned on the local news. Micheal joined them soon after, greeting his uncle and sitting next to his cousin; sharing a knowing smile with her.

" Well now that we're all gathered, I have an announcement to make." Norien stated, standing from her rocking chair.

Madison rolled her eyes as her father muted the holographic screen. Micheal poked her tauntingly, knowing that her 'surprises' usually had something to do with finding a young man for her. Madison give him a worried look before turning her attention to the woman before her.

" Tomorrow night, I've invited the Masons over for dinner." Norien stated.

The two cousins instantly groaned, Arthur soon shushing them.

" Madison you will finally have a great example of what qualities you will find in a proper young woman." Norien continued. " Katrina Mason is a wonderful girl!"

' More like the dumbest blond and biggest whore I've ever seen.' Madison thought darkly at the memory of her neighbor.

" Micheal you can associate yourself with Newton! He's such a kind boy!"

" Yeah, if your a complete geek who gets off on math equations." Micheal mumbled to himself.

Madison snorted, trying to hold back her laughter. Although one threatening look from the spacer beside her and Madison forced herself to swallow it. Even though he spent only two years in the Space Force, Arthur seemed to retain the strict punishments.

" Since we will be in such esteemed company, I expect both of you to be on your best behavior. I also have it on good authority that their eldest son, Lenard is home on vacation from his first year at the university." Norien gave a pointed look at Madison.

Madison didn't bother to stifle her groan while her father shifted uncomfortably next to her. Micheal snickered at her discomfort but before she could make him be quiet there was a loud pounding on the door. Norien questioned as to who would be knocking this late, while Arthur struggled to stand quickly. Madison helped him stand steadily on his feet, while Micheal answered the door.

" Who is it?" Micheal demanded.

" Police-bots. We have one urgent message for an Arthur Kingsley!" A monotone voice answered.

Arthur strode towards the door as he greeted the robots. Madison watched silently as the Police-bots confirmed his identity before handing him a sealed letter. When he inquired what it contained, the robots merely stated that it was classified information. After exchanging farewells, Arthur closed the door and turned back to his family. It was silent as they stared at him questioning, clearly waiting to see what was so important. Arthur opened the letter scanning it, pausing at the very end. Madison felt her stomach clench as her father's brow furrowed, his expression grim.

" Dad?" Madison spoke.

" It's late I believe you two should get to bed." Arthur focused his attention towards the two teenagers.

" Dad what was the letter about?" Madison pressed.

" Nothing of your concern." Came his short reply.

" Police-bots show up on our door and I shouldn't be concerned!?" Madison question incredulously.

" Madison stop bieng so stubborn!" Arthur commanded, his blue eyes slicing through her like ice. "You and Micheal go to bed now."

Madison gave him a defiant look, grabbing Micheal's arm as a sign to leave; she knew this was a battle she was not going to win. After saying goodnight to her cousin Madison turned out her light and settled into bed. She stared at the wall in anger, her jaw clenching and unclenching. She silently stayed in the position, waiting until Norien made her cue. Minutes later Norien peeked into her room, observing her soft breathing and relaxed expression. Madison waited until she could no longer sense the light through her closed eyes, hearing a satisfying click of her door closing. Immediately she hopped out bed and open her window. Standing on the ledge of her window she pulled herself up onto the roof. Struggling a moment with her nightgown, silently damning its long skirts to hell. She then carefully walked along the roof shillings barefoot silently. Sitting on the pointed ledge at the top, she could hear father's voice through the open skylight located directly above the living room.

" Shit." She hissed, unable to make out the words being said.

" Need one of these?"

Madison jumped only to see Micheal carefully sitting next to her. She smirked, chiding herself for not thinking he would join her sooner or later. After all it was a favorite hiding place of theirs since Madison could remember. He handed her a blue ear piece before putting the other in his ear. Micheal then set down a black, small sphere as close to the skylight as he could. Instantly the microphone picked up the voices sending the sound waves clearly to the headsets.

" You better not use this crap on me." Madison warned her cousin.

He merely shrugged before they turned back to the adults conversation. Madison could make out the worried tone of her aunt Norien before Arthur's rough voice cut in; he was agitated.

" It's not as though I can ignore it Norien, it's an official draft from the Commander-In-Chief! Hell even the Gliders are involved."

" Well couldn't you be escused, for medical purposes?"

" The only way I could be excused is if I have a son to send in my stead."

" Would they draft Micheal!?"

Madison looked over to her cousin, watching as he looked at the skylight grimly.

" Possibly. As of now its only a call for those who are or have been in service."

Micheal exhaled quietly, although Madison looked only sent him a tight smile.

" All this over a band of pirates? For God's sakes!"

" It's not just that, this 'band of pirates' are growing at an alarming rate in numbers. The Galatical Force has rounded at least a hundred under command. The Galatical Council is starting to worry, they've already received threats."

" So they need to send an army?"

" Norien, if anything they're just focusing on building one. A scare tactic honestly, probably just training. I doubt I will see action."

" They would not put out a draft for a scare tactic."

" There's also undisclosed information that the pirates in question may have a new weapon."

" Weapon? Something horrible enough to start a war?"

"...It would seem so."

" When do you leave?"

" A week from today."

" You just got here, what about Madi-"

" I know, alright!?"

There was a sound of a chair screeching against the wood floor. Arthur's heavy and uneven footsteps could be heard walking down the through the house.

SLAM!

Madison jumped at the sound, remaining frozen in a mix of surprise and horror. Micheal slowly retrieved the microphone, taking out his ear piece. He looked towards his cousin, unsure of what to say. Madison didn't move a muscle the only way you could see she was still breathing was her soft steady breath. He could see the wheels turning in her mind, her eyes darting back and forth. An unconscious habit that hinted she was desperately trying to think of a solution.

" Madison..." Micheal pause. " I'm sorry."

" Me too."

With that Madison wordlessly removed her earpiece handing it back to her cousin. Carefully she climbed back down to her window, silently entering her room. With shaky legs she pulled off her lacy night cap and flung it across the room. Ripping the ribbon from her hair she plopped down on her bed, the hinges squeaking in protest. It wasn't until an minutes later when she was under covers waiting for sleep to come, that the tears came. One by one they silently fell down her cheeks.

It wasn't until she was on the verge of unconsciousness that a plan formed.
