Warp just finished his last set of sit ups and was a bit out of breath. After finding out of his small heart condition, he has been keeping track of it and making sure he stays in check.
"That's enough for the day." He said, getting up and doing a stretch. He made his way to hit the showers and looked to the time. 30 minutes since the last message from Mira.
"Different time zone just be patient." He said calmly but he knew he was just too overprotective of her well-being since that time in the deserted planet.
Now its been an hour and Warp was now being a bit anxious and worried about Mira until he heard someone open the door. He made his way to the entrance.
"Hey babe! I'm home!" He heard Mira yelled out just as he came to the entrance to see Mira.
Warp grin seeing Mira walked up to her and kissed her. "Hey gorgeous." He held her and as she place her hands on his forearms, he notice a slight bruise.
"Are you ok?" Warp was a bit more than worried. Mira looked away, still angry at the unwanted suitor.
"When I was leaving, there was this suitor who I cannot remember his name; he was a jerk who told me I have to remember his name since we are to be more acquainted later in the future. I told him it was never going to happen, not now not even in the future. That was when he pulled my wrist too tight but I punched him. He glared at me and called me a harlot." She did not noticed the kill in Warp's eyes. Mira held warp tightly "Luckily father was there and stopped him in his tracks and banished him. I just hate that I couldn't do more than just punch him."
Warp was ready to kill the guy but calmed down, knowing his girl needed him. "I wish I was there to kick his ass, especially when he tried to hurt you."
Mira nodded and looked down. "I wish father could accept a lot of things."
Warp kissed her forehead. "Babe when your ready we'll tell him for now relax, I'm pretty sure you haven't eaten." Warp grabbed her things for her and Mira smiled making her way to the kitchen. She opened the fridge to find a variety of vegetables and other kinds of fruit. She found out about the heart condition warp had and she has been helping him keeping in check. Even before they became a couple, she and warp became somewhat friends. She finally had at the time, someone she could talk and express herself with no problems. The guys are great but she needed someone that would take her serious and most times they didn't. She grabbed a few vegetables and a Tangean apple.
She was thinking back with the incident.
A year and half ago.
"Alright Mira and booster we got a mission to accomplish. There is a cargo ship with Zurg's secret weapon I'm not sure what but we are to find it out and destroy it. Unfortunately XR is on a special mission with the galactic alliance special agent." Buzz glared, knowing who is the special agent.
"I'm surprised XR agreed with no problem to work with him. Who would believe Nos-4-a2 could change." Booster smiled. "At least he's on our side fighting for justice right Buzz?"
Buzz was even more enraged but he just glared than to express it.
Mira rolled her eyes. "Buzz Nos-4-a2 has been working for the G.A for almost a year, he has no evil plan in mind and XR knows if he was in any danger, he would call us and if you want to be technical, XR is more safe than we are." Mira stated. She knew XR and the energy vampire were becoming friends just surprised they get along so easy.
"Nos-4-a2 is evil. His core may almost be like XR's uni-mind, but his is just chaotic and evil."
Mira knew buzz would say that. When Nos as he preferred to be called, had a check up from the LGMs and learned Nos has a replica of XR's core but it was similar to the uni-mind zurg had corrupted the said mind.
She remembered Nos explaining to them and the LGMs as well that Nos and XR are two completely different robots, like yin and yang, despite being made with similar cores. Nos's core was more made with Zurgs' energy and a man made unimind. She remembered Nos describing zurg tried to replicate it using the data he got from it but it stood the size of a baseball, a bit bigger than XR's.
'I guess Nos and XR are special.' She thought about her friend. She remembered Nos was more willing to be patient when XR was terrified of him but the more they talked, it was like they were old friends catching up. She remembered seeing them passing time on cards or talking. XR seemed to be really happy.
They heard an alarm and saw they were getting close as they were getting ready to head out.
"Mira, you can phase through the ship and find any information about the weapon. Head in and head out."
Mira went through the walls to see Warp in the cargo bay sitting on a box looking bored and annoyed.
"Most boring job ever." Warp stated. "Should have worked for the old bat DRAC_2_LA. Has more money than zurg and a little more lenient on the killing for failure." Warp sits back against the wall.
Mira quietly as she was slowly pass behind a few cargo and phase through the wall. What was strange was finding no hornets no traps.
"Weird." She said, "this makes no sense. If zurg has a secret weapon he would have it heavily guarded and filled with traps, this ship has nothing. "Why?" Mira was now questioning this situation. Just as she was making her way out she saw warp standing by a box cursing.
"Dammit!" warp yelled.
Mira behind a crate was surprised.
"That fucking tyrant set me up!"
Mira knew she needed to get back up but just as she was about to phase through, she couldn't.
"What the?!" Mira bang against the wall, catching Warps attention.
"Great, just great. I'm stuck and going to die with a princess. Where's buzz and the other rookies?"
"Its just me and were both stuck." Mira raced through the halls to the control room with warp behind.
"what are you going to do? We have only 10 minutes till our death!" warp yelled.
"This is still a cargo ship," Mira said, " this ship could have a manual lock, if I can phase through, I might open up the doors and we can escape."
Warp was surprised and smirk, "You're a lot smarter than Lightyear."
Mira smiled but continues to run up but couldn't phase in. Warp pops out his laser blaster and shoots the panel, opening the hatch. Mira enters in and was glad to ghost through the panel. Just as she did she heard a beep.
She looks at the screen to find on emergency pod ready. She exit out and began running with warp behind. As they get to the pod, the pod was small barely fitting two. Warp gets in but pulls Mira causing her to sit on his lap. Mira glares but warp didn't care.
"It's call survival sweetheart." Warp smirks.
As the pod was ejected off the ship explodes throwing them off. Warp holds Mira tightly and Mira tries to hold on. Soon they notice their escape pod was heading towards a planet.
"Hold on!" was the last thing warp yelled out as Mira black out.
When she woke up she realized two things. She was out of her ranger suit and second she was in the pod.
She gets out to see they landed in some kind of primative planet.
"Morning sunshine."
Mira then remembered who she was stuck with. She got out and saw it was night and saw warp sitting by a campfire.
"Darkmatter." She said.
Warp rolled his eyes. "Look because of the malfunction, your suit was choking you so I had to take it off of you."
"Likely story." Mira spoke.
Warp rolled his eyes. "Look nova, in case if you haven't found out, this is an uncharted planet we crashed. That means this planet has no intelligent life and with that in mind, there is no way of communicating to anyone in a hundred miles. With that we need to… work together."
"I don't need your help." Mira glared at him. "We may be stuck but that doesn't mean I am stuck with you. I'll find someway to contact my team." Mira got up and walked away.
"Your can't go out alone!" Warp yells out. "If you remember survival guide #1 rule: Never go out at night!"
Mira stopped but scoff it away. "I have fought alone by myself! I have been able to do a lot-"
"Have you survive alone?! Have you stood in the out doors and last for a year!?"
Mira stopped and turned to warp who was still by the fire.
"There is no guarantee how long your team will be here and if they by some miracle find you less than a week, do you want them to find you as a corpse? Look you hate my guts and I'm fine with that but just as you need me to survive, I need you just as much." Warp spoke.
"How do you need me?" Mira was curious.
"Sorry princess but I don't tell my reasons. All I can say is we need to work together." Warp laid back.
"How do I know I can trust you?" Mira question, knowing she's just annoying him.
"Sweetheart I'm a lot of things but I don't enforce myself on women or stab others in back in both in literal and figurative sense. You'll know and I make sure you see it coming. Trick maybe but I don't kill you in your sleep. Got it?"
She wanted to retort how he betrayed star command and his friend but knew it would irritate him. Mira look to the fire.
