"Nos-4-A2 was destroyed last year." Commander Nebula grouched. "He was blown up into a million pieces, YOU were there!"

"I know that, but it seems kinda strange that Kimi would show me a picture of him" XR replied, putting his hands together. "Especially when she's the type that usually wants to talk your ear off in an unknown language."

"I dunno" Buzz looked over from where he sat. "Was this transmission monitored?"

"No." Commander Nebula looked over. "Our monitor was off duty when she called."

"Oh lovely- yah see, THAT's what gets misunderstandings going" XR crossed his arms.

"Maybe. We'll consider keeping an eye on Saturn, but we have no more information than what you've given to us" Nebula went to his desk and wrote something down.

"But-"

"Kimi will be fine" Buzz looked over. "Do you need to contact them and make sure?"

"Wha- NO" XR crossed his arms and scowled. "Don't be ridiculous! I don't need to! It's not like I care!" XR looked to the side slightly. "Fluffy can take care of herself… and if not Marril Mc Jerkface can."

"Is that so?" Buzz smiled. "If you say so, XR"

"I do." XR folded his arms and rolled out. "That cat is just fine. Comon XL."

The robot Ranger rolled out, his Big brother following in a confused manner.

"What was that about?" XL asked as they exited the room. "You think your Cat-friend's in trouble?"

"She's fine- And she's not my friend" XR looked over frowning. "She's just a…kid-queen…thing…ah you wouldn't understand!"

"Then why're you worried?"

"I'm NOT…I don't care about Fluffy- I mean- I care, but I don't- ARGH!" XR pointed at XL and frowned. "Look, she's got her arrogant guard bots to watch her. I'm NOT worried, got it?"

"Whatever you say" XL muttered, watching his brother roll off.

***S***

Kimi struggled…it wasn't the easiest to hold this position…She landed on her feet, hearing the music in the background. Twirling, she lifted her paws into the air and twirled quickly, then jumped into the air. This dance was what Chugan wanted her to practice?

Kimi didn't complain…she knew he wouldn't want that…besides, he liked her to dance. She just didn't understand why it had to be THIS one…

Besides…her mind kept drifting…

Kimi looked up every now and then…the room was filled with mostly Saturns…grown Saturns, young Saturns…one in particular little kitten was watching and smiling widely. She was white and grey and had a blue dress on. Every now and then she would encourage the Queen if she slowed down…

Kimi smiled slightly and continued her dance…but she couldn't get Nos-4-A2 off of her mind…Who WAS this guy…and what did he want? As she twirled, she felt herself stumble…Her mind…was not at all focused on the dance…

Finally she stopped and stood there, looking over at one of the Saturns controlling the sound. He blinked and his ears twitched, before he quickly stopped the song. "Your Majesty?"

"Kimi- Why have you stopped?"

Kimi looked up, seeing an adult female Saturn padding towards her. Her fur was black with white socks, and some white markings on her. She had a red dress on with golden trimming, and she looked somewhat stern.

"You do know you have to keep practicing for the review?" She muttered. "Why would you want to disappoint the Commander?"

Kimi looked towards her, and then looked to the side. "Demo-…"

"If you didn't get enough sleep last night, then you should have gone to bed earlier."

"That's enough Roku." Another Saturn said, looking disturbed. "The Queen is probably just having one of those days." He took a few steps up.

Roku looked over and frowned. "She's MY niece, baka…mind your own business"

"This is my business, Princess…" The Saturn said, frowning. "Kiyomi put me in charge of her dance recital, and all the dancers in it"

Roku frowned and looked over. "Then do your job, Kimu" Roku scoffed and looked back at Kimi. "You're not like you're mother…you know that…" she muttered lowly, padding away.

Kimi watched her go and looked down…no…she wasn't like her mother, was she? Her mother had been everything a queen could be…

She on the other hand couldn't even inspect her own army without getting distracted…

Kimi sighed and looked over to Kimu, who leaned down and set a paw on her shoulder. "Hey- don't listen to her…your Aunt's still hurting from…you know…"

Kimi nodded, understanding…she really couldn't blame her.

Kimu smiled and lifted her head up. "Would you like Chelsea to dance with you, your majesty?"

Kimi paused and looked up, her mood changing to pleased. Upon that change, Kimu motioned the other kitten, who gladly rushed over. The kittens exchanged hugs, and smiled at each other.

"Kimi- don't stop, ok? You look so pretty when you dance" Chelsea smiled affectionately at her.

"I'll try." Kimi smiled back. "I always dance good with my best friend" They tapped tails and started dance.

On the balcony, Marril watched the kittens as they danced to the song. They both looked so cute as they danced rather well to a song that was intended for adult Saturns…but they were still very good…a trip here…a misbalance there…

Marril rested his head on his hands as he watched them dance…

She looked so much like her mother…so graceful and kind…and innocent…Marril had to look away slightly…Watching Kimi dance was like watching the late Queen Lillyati dance…it hurt…

Last year brought too much pain…too much sorrow…Marril didn't want a repeat of that anguish…

Marril shook his head slightly and looked back at Kimi, who picked up Chelsea into the air…and both of them fell flat on their backs…they sat up and laughed. Marril smiled softly. Kimi could get over just about anything, huh?

"Officer Marrilon?"

Marril's ears twitched, and he glanced behind him slightly. "…Hajime…Good morning" He greeted lightly, turning his optics back onto the dancing kittens. "What have you to report."

"…M- Myself, sir"

Marril paused and looked over at him, in a confused manor. "Yourself?...is something wrong with your circuits?"

"Actually…I think so, sir" Hajime put his hands together and looked to the side. "Sir-…I can't help but feel that something's wrong with me…- Kimi- Kimi told her nightmare to you and Orkono this morning-" He paused and winced. "It-…It sounded-"

"Don't let Kimi's nightmares scare you." Marril gave him a look. "You're one of the best, Hajime, I wouldn't expect you to fall under."

"Sir- You don't understand- When she described her nightmare, it sounded so familiar, like it actually happened" Hajime paused and glanced to his shoulder slightly.

Marril's gaze never left his trusted soldier…he seemed nervous…as though this was actually an impact. The second in command looked to the side slightly…this was serious…never had he actually seen one of his soldier feel so tense about what was assumed to be a nightmare.

Marril looked back to Hajime and motioned to him. "Get to the med-bay…see if Luna and Turbo can't see to you…and I want you to come back with a full report on yourself, got it?"

"Yes sir" Hajime nodded and walked off.

Marril's optics narrowed, and he looked back toward the dancing kittens. He frowned and then turned on his communicator. "Marrilon to Orkono. Request permission to have an audience with you…a private …this is serious…"

"Permission granted, bro. I'll see you in fifteen clicks."

Marril nodded and then changed the frequency. "Marril to PC, I need you to watch over Kimi until I finish with a meeting."

"That's fine with me, where is she?"

"In the auditorium, practicing the Commander's dance."

"Yes sir. You go ahead, I'm only a few parcets away" PC replied, before shutting off his com.

Marril looked back down towards Kimi and Chelsea, before his fists clenched tightly, and he turned to get to the main hall. "If anything happens to her…" he muttered, turning the corner and heading off.

***MH***

Orko crossed his arms as he waited for Marril…he still had a lot on his mind…like why he didn't have any information on the other night…why no one seemed to remember, and why Kimi was acting so strange…

It didn't make any sense…What exactly happened?

Orko's ears perked as he heard the door open and close. He glanced over, seeing Marril lock the door and look over, seriously. Ok…obviously whatever Marril had to say was real important if he was going to lock everyone out.

Marril made his way over and looked to his brother. "…Are you not feeling the same tension I am?" He muttered, his ears slightly flattening against his helmet.

Orko stared at his younger brother for a moment, before nodding. "Yes…I don't know what's going on…But I'm not stupid enough to just believe that everything's alright"

Marril looked serious. "Why would Kimi suddenly be tense about her surroundings, and complaining about something that would be dismissed as a nightmare?"

"Not only that" Orko muttered. "But NONE of the Okiyahma Omions seem to remember what happened that night…we have reports from Sukui, and Jyu…also from Sakana…but none from our own post." The Omion Commander looked distressed. "Something is happening, and we have no clue what it is."

"Brother…I request that we double security around Kimi" Marril gritted his teeth. "Kimi is not one to make up wild stories…this…thing that she keeps talking about…might actually-"

"Marril- We will do anything and everything to keep Kimi safe- but we also have to think about the other Saturns." Orko frowned slightly. "We are the army of SATURN…not just Kimi"

Marril paused and nodded in agreement. "Right…You know I would never wish harm on any Saturn-…" He paused and looked to the side. "Well…most of them"

Orko smiled hopelessly at his brother, and then put a hand on his shoulder. "Marril…You and I will take care of Kimi…I promise"

Inside a vent, two optics watched the scene, slightly troubled. Nos frowned at the talk between the two Commanders…Don't mess with me, soldiers…trust me, you don't want to face the wrath of Dere-….of Nos-4-A2.

Marril nodded and put his own hand on his brother's shoulder in agreement. "Orko…I don't think Kimi's safe here."

Orko looked seriously at his brother, and then nodded. "I agree…We'll double the watch around the whole planet…start stationing Omions and Sumions everywhere…we need to get Kimi to an ally planet until we figure out what's going on."

An Ally planet? That'll ruin everything!...but…I have to lay low-… No…I am Nos-4-A2…I do as I see fit!

Suddenly a chilling screech filled the room, and the two Commanders immediately had their weapons out and ready, looking around carefully. Where did THAT come from?

Without warning, Nos-4-A2 burst out of the vent, his dragon-like energy wings powering up and extending. He hissed and threw a blast out of his mouth, forcing the two brothers to jump out of the way.

Orko ducked, rolled, and then landed on his feet, quick to turn and start shooting. However, the energy vampire was fast as well.

Nos growled and spun in the air, diving down and pinning Orko to a wall. Snarling, the energy vampire shoved Orko harder into the wall, which made Orko wince. The Commander growled and punched at Nos, who recoiled, but then shoved his claw against Orko's mouth, angrily.

"The Queen is going Nowhere, Commander" Nos snarled. "You're going to make sure of that, aren't you?" Nos growled and opened his mouth to bite…

SLAM!

"Get AWAY from him, monster!" Marril snarled, taking out his sword and having a murderous expression on his face.

Nos was knocked back and SLAMMED into a wall on the other side of the room, and he tried to recover himself, shaking his head, and hissed. On the other side stood the Commander and his brother, both heavily armed and scowling.

"Identify your- OOFF!" Marril started to snarl, before a blast from Nos knocked him back.

"Marril!" Orko looked over his shoulder briefly, before facing the villain once again.

Nos rose into the air and a dark tint came to his optics. "I am Nos-4-A2, and your worst nightmare"

"Don't flatter yourself" Marril growled, getting up. "I've had scarier nightmares" he pointed at the energy vampire accusingly. "At least my other Nightmares didn't have such girly hips!"

Nos paused at the statement, and then hissed angrily. "Why you-" The energy vampire let out a screech and dove right for Marril, who got his sword ready. Once the Vampire had him pinned, the Omion let out a battle cry of his own, and swung his sword.

"Marril! Hold on!" Orko snarled, running over to aide his younger sibling.

"No-Go Get Kimi and the Saturns to safety! GO!" Marril growled, wrestling with Nos. Orko growled and moved to protest, but finally turned and ran, blasting the locked door open and running out.

Nos-4-A2 gasped and turned to stop the Omion Commander, before Marril grabbed him by the throat and forced him onto the ground. "As long as I'm online, you won't TOUCH Kimi" Marril snarled, his optics dangerously narrow.

"Then I suppose you'd better go offline" Nos growled, grabbing Marril's upper arms and digging his claws into Marril's armor. The second in command snarled as Nos-4-A2's wings extended and they ended up brawling in midair, Marril firing up his wings as well.

Marril was getting irritated with this monster. How DARE he threaten Saturn…How DARE he fight his brother! HOW DARE HE threaten KIMI! Anger flared inside of the Omion, and Marril yelled angrily as he flung the vampire downwards.

Nos-4-A2 landed with a sickening CRACK. Below, the energy vampire was still…Marril felt relief…As he landed, he turned his back on the downed Nos, and rubbed the parts of his arms that Nos had damaged. Marril panted slightly…before he cried out in pain as a sharp sting was felt in his shoulder.

"Surely you would know strategies, dear Marrilon" Nos' voice chuckled. "Silence, and strike"

Marril groaned as he fell to his knees and shuddered heavily. He panted as his systems began to shut down.

"Relax, protective one…You are now mine…"

***S***

Orko growled as he finally got the pod ready and he set in the computer for the LGM home world. It would have to do. They weren't the brightest bunch, but he knew that Kimi would be welcome…

"Orko-chan…" Kimi paused, wincing at the seriousness of the Commander.

He had come in so quickly, and barked out orders to any Omion he could find…and the room had gone nuts. She and Chelsea were separated…but the Omion Kaze was quick to get the kitten under his own protection.

Now Orko and PC were talking franticly, and fixing up a pod-like shippy…thing…

"Orko-kun- what's-" Kimi started, before PC looked over and quickly kneeled down. "Your majesty, we have to get you out of here. We can't explain- you'll have to wait for us to send you a transmission-"

The two Omions looked up suddenly as an explosion was heard close to the control room. Orko snarled and looked over quickly. "No…this can't be happening…" He growled. Orko quickly took something out of his storage, and then grabbed Kimi by the sides, picked her up and plopped her into the pod.

"Here-" Orko handed her a small backpack. "That's got a few rations in it, and a good supply of uni-buck credits. Don't let ANYONE have them unless it's for food, shelter, or for any of those little green guys" Orko scowled and looked behind him…He had to get his army directed so they could get that energy vampire out of here…

"Orko-kun! Don't let me be alone!" Kimi pleaded. "I can't-"

"Kimi- I'll request Omion assistance for you from Commander Michael- I promise- you won't be alone for long" Orko looked at her seriously and then set her police plush in her lap. "Kimi- I love you so much- and so does Marril."

"Orko-"

She didn't get much out, because Orko had slammed his fist into the control panel, which caused the pod to close and then take off. Kimi yelped as she found herself strapped in automatically, and the little pod hurling for the sky. Kimi yelped as the shaking of the pod increased.

Elsewhere, Nos-4-A2 gasped upon the launch of the pod. "BLAST!" He snarled. Quickly, the energy Vampire extended his wings and tried to go after the pod- before he was prevented by heavy fire blasts from on-coming Omions.

Nos growled and then a grin came to his face. "Playing hard to get are we?" Nos put his hands into the air, and sparks flew from him in an impressive show of power. The Omions growled, moving to attack…before something shocking caught their attention…

About twenty Omions came to Nos' side, all of their optics dark red, and looking controlled…among these being Kaji, Mizu…and Hajime.

"Arise, my minions" Nos pointed towards the army of Omions. "Do as your Dark Master bids!"

Without question, the controlled Omions flew for the attack…

***Sp***

Kimi yelped as her pod was going through the air, she could slightly see out the little window…but not much…

The pod rattled…something was going on down there- OOOF!

The Pod make a screeching sound as a stray blast from below hit one of the circuits-head on. The computer flashed "Error" several times, before the whole pod started glowing a hot white…and suddenly shot itself into hyperspace, clearing the planet and the danger…

….Across the other side of the galaxy…the Pod re-emerged and spiraled out of control past ports and stations. Kimi cried out as the pod increased it's speed, entering the atmosphere of a planet…

As it landed, the computer continued to flash "Fatal Error" over and over again…

Kimi couldn't understand what it meant- it meant nothing to her- besides her stomach was literally running up her throat.

She felt a jerk, and some harsh impacts…

CRASH….BOOM….SCREEEEECH!

Kimi clutched her plushie and shut her eyes tightly. "Chugan!" she cried, the terror in her body shaking her entire being. The force of the pod crashing into things was getting more intense…what was going on out there?

As the pod finally came to a stop, Kimi stayed rooted in her spot…she shivered in horror…She still couldn't tell herself what exactly was going on….

The little Queen stayed in her seat and clung to her little plush…she should've stayed in bed…

***SC***

"Ah, nothin' beats a good chilli burger after a hard morning's paperwork" Buzz sighed, cleaning off his face with a napkin. He licked his lips, and let out a small belch, before turning and returning for his desk. Ok, his paper work was done-…well at least that one stack…

Buzz cracked his knuckles and looked around…ok…where was his team? Buzz frowned and headed out of the room- just to bump into them. "Lovely- would it kill you guys to leave a note or something?"

"Well If XR here would stop insisting that whoever gets to the café last, buys, then we would be able to inform you of many things" Mira said sarcastically, giving XR a kick in the back.

"Hey- Don't be so pushy, Princess" XR crossed his arms and grinned. "You both are just jealous that I'm so much faster than you."

"Oh Boo-hoo" Mira frowned at her robot-comrade. "I'm sure my ghosting powers would be more than enough to beat you're dumb rollers"

"Wanna make a bet?" XR challenged.

"Guys common-" Booster put up his hands. "We already had this argument back at the café!"

"Well if Bright eyes here would admit that I'm the best-" XR started to say, before Mira pushed him back slightly.

"Yeah- no. You see, I wouldn't say that you're the best, or the greatest at ANYTHING, if you were the last THING in the universe" Mira muttered, walking towards her desk to get more reports done.

"humph" XR crossed his arms. "See if I care."

Booster grinned at XR and shoved him towards his desk. "Aw common XR, would you rather be in here? Or out in the lab, dealing with XL's paper work?"

XR muttered to himself and then turned around. "Now you see- that all depends-"

"What the-"

The team paused as Buzz made a strange face at the Computer controls he was working on. "Well- that's something you don't see everyday"

"What?" The trio chorused in unison.

Buzz looked over towards his team. "Well- it seems that there's been a major disturbance on Trade World."

"Trade World? You're kidding right?" XR crossed his arms. "Trade World IS a disturbance, enough said."

"No- I'm talking literally." Buzz frowned as he showed them the screen. "There's been a major crash, resulting in major damage, and plenty of holdup in traffic. Apparently…some ship came in for a landing on an uncharted route."

"Oh great. Just what we need" Mira said sarcastically. "A traffic law-breaker…"

Booster groaned and looked over to Buzz. "What's the word, Buzz? Do they need backup?"

"Yes, and lots of it." Buzz looked over to his team. "I'm going to issue about three teams on this case, our team being the lead. Let's get a move on NOW rangers!"

"Sir!"

"OK, every time I find a spare minute, SOMETHING has to happen" XR grouched as he rolled for the ship.

"Well, you know what they say" Booster said, looking over to his best friend. "Crime doesn't rest!"

"I thought it was 'Crime doesn't pay'" XR gave the Joadian a strange look.

Booster paused as he went over what he just said, and then gave a sheepish look. "Uh- yeah, that too. But-…yeah…"

"Oh Booster, how do I put up with you…"

***TW***

Kimi shook her head slightly and opened her eyes…what-

She blinked upon seeing herself snug in the pod…so once again she had managed to pull off the whole…dream thing again…Kimi panted slightly…it was a little hot…clutching her plushie to herself and making sure her bag was on her back, the little Queen grimaced and pressed a button, which made the pod burst open, which startled the locals who were still marveling, and complaining, about the downed space craft.

Kimi peeked out and grimaced lightly upon seeing all the different aliens staring back at her in astonishment. Ok, clearly this wasn't the LGM home world…

Kimi shrunk back slightly, as one of the aliens reached for her…she wasn't too big on strangers…but maybe they could help her?

WHOA!

"Hey! This pod has a royal on it!"
"There's no guards- quick! Get her valuables!"

Kimi gasped as her jewelry was grabbed off of her dress, her bracelet…wait- they were about to take her wristband! "Iie!" Kimi growled and extended her claws, quickly slashing at the nearest life forms. When they recoiled, Kimi landed on her feet, grabbed her tiara from the jerk who took it off her head, and ran.

"Get her!"

Kimi shivered and ran faster- the gravity on this planet was lighter!...maybe….Kimi put her ears against her head and suddenly ran much faster…Saturn speed…She clutched her plush and ran as quick as she could go-…

…Before she ran SMACK into a stand…

Kimi coughed, tripped and landed on her back. Wha-…What WAS that just now? Ok…maybe less gravity meant less control…she'd have to remember that…Shaking her head, the kitten sat up and looked up as a weird, thug-like alien peered down at her with a sinister look. "Stinkin' off-worlders…" he growled, reaching for her.

Kimi shivered, and then hissed at him, her ears going flat against her head. She made notice of her fangs, which were very small…but very sharp.

The alien gave her a look. "Whoa- man-…Ain't nobody gonna hurt 'cha, fuzz ball" he chuckled. "ol Crumford just gonna take that nice little tiara offa yer hands"

"Muh?" Kimi looked up and then got on her feet, growling at him in warning. Who did this bozo think he WAS? NO ONE messed with her Mommy's tiara, except Orko or Marril! Or Chugan too! Kimi hissed at him again and then quickly extended her claws and slashed him across the face, which made him scream in pain.

Quickly, Kimi ran once again, unaware she had left her little police cat behind.

***SC***

"Ma'am, would you calm down-" Buzz winced as one of the witnesses totally bombarded him with her side of what happened. It was quite a sight really…one building had a perfect hole where the pod had gone straight through it…many different signs and devices were destroyed…it was amazing that there were only minor injuries reported.

"Ok- I know this has been a rush for you. Now why don't you sit down and let Ranger Tom tend to you?" Buzz led the alien to another ranger, who took her into his care. Buzz wiped his head and then looked around…ok…this was sure more than what he was expecting…

Damage was everywhere…whoever did all this was going to get arrested BIG TIME for a hit and run…

If only people would be more responsible…but then again, this was trade word…

"Hey, Here's something you don't see everyday" XR said, picking up something shiny. "Cha CHING" He grinned and started to put the shiny thing in his stash.

"XR!" Booster hit his hand and frowned. "Shame on you! That's evidence!"

"Aw common, it's just goin' to be thrown out eventually" XR retorted.

Booster muttered to himself as he took whatever it was from XR's grip. Upon looking at it-…jewels? Huh, that's something you didn't see every day on trade world. "Uh- Buzz? I think we got something"

"Hmm" Buzz took the jewels from Booster and looked over them. "This isn't something that is sold at normal retail- where'd you get them, XR?"

"Over by that pod" XR replied, pointing to the smoking heap. It looked pretty pathetic. As Buzz approached it, he took note of the strange markings on it. That wasn't any alien language that he was fluent with…maybe that professor from Rysome knew something about it-…

Or the LGMs, Maybe they would be better suited for it…Yeah, that would be better.

"Hey Buzz, I think I got something useful." Mira said, walking over towards her partners. "On of the on-lookers told me that whoever was in that pod was a royal. Apparently as soon as they landed, someone tried to mug them."

"Trade world." Buzz muttered. "Not exactly the friendliest place for a royal. But still, they have a good list of charges against them."

"Think about it Buzz, if you were a royal, would you just stand around and let yourself be stolen?" Mira asked, crossing her arms.

Buzz paused and looked to the side. "Touché… " He put the jewels away and then looked over. "But this means that there's a royal running around on Trade world of all places." He took something out and wrote on it. "Spread out, get information, and try to find him"

"Sir!"

Buzz glanced to Mira, motioned her to follow, and then took off into the air. Mira did follow, quickly. Booster looked to XR and gave him a grimace. "This isn't exactly the first planet I wanna be stuck on"

"Yeah, not like Mahamba 6" XR grinned. "I could get lost THERE"

"Comon" Booster activated his jumbo jets and flew off, XR close behind.

***S***

"She ESCAPED?" Nos practically screamed it, clenching his fists. Before him, his enslaved Omions knelt before him. The energy vampire snarled and turned, looking out one of the blown out windows. "Slag…We need her so Master Derecho can have his revenge…" One of Nos' optics twitched…

'Master Derecho'…that was starting to taste like vinegar…why? Pah.

He turned and looked around. "The Omions have regrouped. We need more soldiers- Capture some for me, and I will bring them under."

A few of the Omions nodded and flew off in search of more Omions.

"OMIONS!" Nos snarled at the departing soldiers. "Not Kumions!..." He glanced over to an enslaved Kumion who was absently cleaning everything in sight…including Omions…sheesh…

Nos crossed his arms and bared his fangs slightly. "Now- I need one of you to re-capture the Queen."

There was silence for a moment, before a figure made himself known. Nos looked over, and a slow wicked smirk came to his face. "Oh? Well what a lovely twist" The energy vampire hovered over and drummed his fingers together. "Well then, elite one…capture the Queen unharmed; I don't care what other damage you do." Nos chuckled and flicked the soldier's helmet. "You take out your anger however you see fit"

The soldier turned, and walked into the light…

Marril was now on a mission…His ruby red optics narrowed. NOTHING would get in his way.

***TW***

"I told 'cha, I don't know nothin'!" Crumford growled as Booster kept his grip on him.

"Then explain where you got the nasty scratch marks on you" Booster growled, tightening his grip on the stool pigeon. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say that you got yourself into some kind of off-world trouble."

"Humph- that was made by a stupid cat is all" Crumford growled. "Other than that-"

"A cat huh? Those are big scratches for a little cat." Booster frowned and looked towards XR. "Would you do the honors?"

"Aw, do I have to?"

"XR…"

The robot ranger shrugged and yanked the wad of money from Crumford's pocket, and slowly began to pull at them, a tiny tear staring to form on the bills.

"HEY HEY HEY!" Crumford panicked, trying to get out of Booster's grip to save his money from the robot ranger. "that's mine!"

"Start talking, Crumford." Booster frowned. "You know about that crash in the western part of trade word, tell us what the scoop is"

"Fine- Fine! There's this royal- real small. Crash landed in the city, and she's been running around all mornin', aviodin' everyone" Crumford winced, watching XR with his money.

"Who is it?" XR asked, smirking, still tugging at the bills.

"Wha- I dunno! No one's evuh seen this kid before!"

"Kid?" Booster paused and glared at him. "What do you mean, kid?"

"Pah, I dunno, the royal's just a kid." Crumford crossed his arms and frowned. Booster looked to XR, who made a bigger tear into the fold of cash. Crumford winced and struggled. "ALRIGHT ALRIGHT! This kid- she's a cat- real fast, real small- I SERIOUSLY don't know her name!" He took out the plush. "All I have is THIS! She clawed me before I could do anything else!"

"Wha-" Booster took the plush and studied it. The little cat toy was dressed like a police officer…hat, fake gun, fake handcuffs…a Saturn insignia on his badge- what the- "Oh no-"

"What? What's wrong, does the stuffed animal have a stain on it?" XR asked, still holding the cash.

"This- It's got a Saturn insignia on it- The royal- It's Kimi!" Booster looked over to XR, worried.

"Wha-?" XR paused and rolled up slightly. "You're kidding, right?"

Booster shook his head, and then showed XR the plush. XR dropped the money and looked to Crumford. "This kitten- did she have cat-like robots with her by any chance?"

"Wha- No, she was alone. She didn't have no-one with 'er!"

XR gaped and turned, slightly glancing towards his storage door. He looked back up, frowning. "Well, which way did she GO, dipstick?"

"XR?" Booster blinked.

"Aw, man- I dunno- ACK! She went east!" Crumford trembled as he saw XR pick up his wad of cash and hold it next to a lit match. "East! She ran pretty fast too-"

"Comon, booster, let's go" XR muttered, tossing the cash behind him, popping out his wings and flying off.

Booster blinked, dropped Crumford while glaring at him, and then took off after XR. "Hey- XR what's wrong? Are you worried about Kimi? I know I am, poor little thing-"

"I am NOT worried about her!" XR shot back. "I uh-…I just don't want her-…Bodyguards beatin' up on us again!" XR frowned. "Especially that jerk, Marril"

"So- what about Kimi?"

"We find her, and get her back to her stupid bodyguards!" XR growled, flying faster. "And NO, I'm not WORRIED, so lay off!"

Booster blinked, before following XR at a fast pace. He glanced at the Police cat in his hands and continued to fly. "Man…I hope she's ok…"
