One day later

"Alright team, our mission is to do buee patrol." Buzz stated Mira and Buzz and booster and XR were ready to depart when a rookie came running up behind them.

"Lightyear sir! you are needed back!" the rookie spoke. "This is urgent!" the rookie ranger spike.

Buzz and everyone nodded as they follow him to Nebula's office.

Within the office was Nebula and Nos. Mira was surprise but was still nervous to see Nos was silent and stiffer than usual.

"What is going on commander and why is Nos-4-a2 here? Is it bad?" Buzz asked.

Nebula as Mira could say was more serious. Back straighten and his eyes were more sharp if not dare she say it, she swears there is a hint of fear.

"This meeting we're having is private. This may be even more dangerous and a threat to the galaxy." The commander spoke softly.

"What is it? Is there something wrong?" Mira asked

Nos was hesitant but began to talk. "We have a situation." Nos opened up the hologram screen to show all the listings and trades.

Buzz sees the the list of planets and confused. "Why are these planets listed? To conquer? I thought these planets are already under the GA protection?"

"Lightyear these planets are the ones Zurg wants to go and conquer only he will destroy them this time around if they do not agree. He is taking no prisoners or hostages." Nebula stated.

Mira froze in shock as she saw the list of the planets in the inner system.

On the top of the list is Tangea.

Shock and fear striked into her heart. Remembering that moment of loss was coming back to her. She was too frightened to speak and began to shake. When her planet disappeared, she thought she lost everything…

Mira felt a hands on both her shoulders and saw it was Buzz and booster.

"Zurg wouldn't destroy those planets!" Buzz stated. "Each of these planets are too important to destroy and he knows that!" Buzz stated. "He placed them in a pocket dimension!"

"Zurg is no longer caring after not being taken serious from a former retired tyrant known as DRAC_2_LA." Nos stated. "Because of such, he is also intending to create another weapon." and taps away to show a blueprint of himself.

"Why is your blueprint there?" Booster asked.

"He is planning on making another energy vampire but it cannot happen due to the needed sources but if he succeeds, you are looking at the next possible threat to the galaxy." Nos answers.

"How is it impossible to lack the material? You're no different from other robots… right?" Buzz asked.

Mira looks to Nos to see he was hesitant.

Nos looks to XR and seeing him nod to reassure him, Nos extends out his hand and with control, he extract some kind of matter.

"When Zurg was experimenting on sources of power, he extracted this type from the very darkest zone of the galaxy. This is anti-matter, very powerful and dangerous if used wrong. Zurg made this as the ability to extract energy but it can be reversed if said energy is strong such as the radiation of the moon from the wire wolf incident." Nos pulls it back in.

"If this stuff is dangerous than why didn't it exploded and cause a calamity when you were destroyed?!" Nebula yelled out.

"Because of my core." Nos opens his panel to show what he means. "The uni Mind is practically what keeps it from being released, it is what makes me an energy vampire." Nos closes his panel and looks up to them. "If Zurg succeeds and makes this one under his control, we will have another one far dangerous than even I."

Buzz was shock but looked to the trades and saw where each one went.

"This trade is heading to the dark zone, my team will go-"

"Negative Lightyear." Nebula stopped him. "Nos explained that zone is highly concentrated of pure negative energy. This energy will make you go insane and corrupt you!" Nebula then pointed to Nos. "The possible candidate to go is Nos since he has been there before and even lived there. He will have to go there alone. I have already gotten permission from the GA-"

"He can't go there alone!" XR stood up in front of the commander and saw Nos reaching to him. "Let me go with him pops!"

Mira understood XR's outburst as she couldn't help but agree. 'I wouldn't let Warp go out alone, especially knowing I could lose him any moment.'

"No way XR." Nebula spoke. "You can't go especially if it will make matters worse! I get it you two became friends and all but Nos is the only one capable of going. Besides he doesn't have any close ties or a relationship."

Mira flinched as she saw the hurt in XR's optics knowing that was a lie and looks to Nos and saw he shares the same feeling. 'They haven't told them yet and hearing this… poor XR…' she looks to Buzz who was not sharing the same outlook like the commander. He was sadder than he should be.

Nos although hurt needed to reassure his mate. "The dark Zone is not safe XR." Nos places both hands on his shoulders to have him look to him. "Please understand, it is for the best-"

"I can't lose you!" XR held his clawed hands and holds them close. "If you get hurt or worse, I won't be able to help you Nos! I love you too much you idiot!" XR began to cry and felt Nos holds him. "Please Nos, I don't know what I do if your gone… I just can't…."

Mira then imagined herself and Warp in that position if he was to go into a mission she can't follow. 'But no matter what, I would stand by his side even if…" She couldn't think that way, not when her friend needs her. She looks to her friend and saw how much XR didn't want Nos to do this.

"I can go with Nos."

All heads turned to XL who was in his fax body.

"If anyone else can go without getting a screw loose I can." XL spoke. "I've been there a few times and even to find Nos to team up. If I go, Nos will have someone to watch his back." XL stated and moves toward XR. "Don't worry XR I promise I'll look out for him. He is going to be my brother in law."

Nos cups his mates head. "I will be safe XR but if you want me to stay back then I will. We can wait until they come out of the Dark zone."

"XR we can't let them get any out if it causes a mass calamity!" The commander yelled out.

"Commander this is not-" Buzz spoke.

"Promise me you will come back!" XR stated and Nos nuzzles to him. "I promise XR I will return to you safe and unharmed."

"The brothers In Law are on it!" XL grins.

Mira saw Nos groan and sees XR chuckling but gave a sad smile.

"Let me go and get my body out. Nos can you help me out?" XL asked.

Nos hesitated but saw XR nodded. Nos although conflicted nodded and followed XL.

XR was now nervous as he saw Nebula and Buzz and booster.

"So is that who you've been dating XR? You two are….?" Booster asked.

"Yes." XR spoke nervously. "Look I love Nos and I'm sorry if I kept this from you guys but I didn't know how you would feel about this. You're my friends and you're my dad, I was afraid-"

"Look XR, we won't judge you or think otherwise. We're your friends and we care about your happiness." Buzz was the first to speak.

"Yeah XR." booster grins.

Mira was relieved about this and was glad her friends were supportive of him. 'I hope they are when they find out about me and Warp.'

"This won't change anything XR," Nebula stated and XR looks to him. "I'm sorry XR but this is important. If Zurg gets his slimy hands on the antimatter, this stuff can cause any damage! Nos-4-a2 can do this mission but if you get involved, Nos will get distracted and get yourself and him and XL destroyed. Besides Nos can't be trusted especially if he could be part of it." Nebula spoke.

Mira wanted to retort but she couldn't speak out as XR was hurt.

"I get it da- commander, Nos is strong and he can take care of himself but you're wrong about him being evil! I have had been with him over 2 years now! He and I share more than simple affections and not once has he attempted to drain my energy during it!"

Booster and Mira blushes a bit as Buzz rubbed his head.

"But even now while I'm worried over him, it's not a bother to you if he doesn't come back or that we are in engaged-!" XR covered his mouth and turned red.

"Congrats XR!" Booster smiles as he hugs his friends.

Nebula was silent but he sat back in his seat and rubs his head.

"I need a moment to myself please."

The team was quiet and left the office. As they exit out, Buzz was the first to speak.

"So when are you two getting hitched?"

XR smiled, "Well, we haven't planned a date but since it's nice in Valder, we want to get married there, maybe in the summer?"

Buzz nodded. "Give it some time XR, nebula will understand. I need to find another team to do Buee duty." Buzz heads out.

"Congrats XR, I know Nos will be a really great husband," booster grins as he makes his way. "I need to go and check up on my family." Booster waves as he heads out, leaving only Mira and XR by themselves. They see Nos and not too far, they can tell Nos looked like he was regretting it.

"Make way cause here comes the brother in arms! The brothers in Law!" XL shouted and Nos shaking his head.

Mira held her laughter in and so did XR but she saw something in his optics that were unreadable. She didn't want to leave XR alone but she needed to head out to her home planet.

'I need to warn father about-'

"Hey XR."

XR and Mira look to their right to see the a.I 42 but she was more happy than usual.

"Hi…" XR spoke looking back toward his mate.

"Umm 42 what brings you to this side of star command. Aren't you meeting up with that patrol robot on a date?" Mira asked.

"I broke it off with him." 42 spoke to her but was happy.

"Sorry it didn't work out?" Mira didn't understand but when she saw 42 looking to XR, it clicked.

"Listen 42 I don't think-"

"XR I wanted to apologize about our breakup." 42 spoke as she grabbed his hands.

XR was awkward and tried to pull away from the vice grip.

"42 it's ok and it's nice that we moved on-" XR was then pulled back. 'The one time I want my hands to break off!'

"Which is why I want to ask- Why do you have an engagement ring on your hand!?" She shouted and then she was enraged.

'Wow just wow, she is loud.' Mira thought and felt guilty for XR and how did she not see the ring? It didn't help when Nos was being held back by XL.

"42, XR is with someone else now and he is really happy with-"

"I knew you loved him!" 42 spoke out and finally let him go, her rage on Mira. "You just had to come in with your status and everything you boyfriend stealer!"

"Now wait just a minute!" Mira towered over her, keeping XR behind her. "Ok one, XR is my friend and two, there is nothing between us. Another thing, you made my friend feel like he was awful and it was even awful when you flaunt the guys you were with! If anything, he is better off without you and he is with someone who makes him happy!"

"And who can?! Why isn't she here?!" 42 glared, ready to retort another when she froze seeing the shadow of someone frightening and growling.

"Because I am not a female." Nos kept XR behind him and growls and 42 shaken. "I do not care if you say insults to me but I will not tolerate when you throw them at my mate and friends. If I see you near my mate and throw harmful comments, I will make you regret it. Leave."

42 walks away, not looking back.

Mira although knew she could handle her, she was thankful Nos scared her away.

"Thanks Nos, I swear she is a real handful." Mira spoke.

Nos rubbed his head but looks to XR and kneels before him. "Are you alright my love?"

XR nodded and opens his dome. He leans forward and kisses Nos on his cheek. "I'm better with you here. Do you really have to go now?" XR asked.

"Not in the next 6 hrs but I need to make a pit stop to the workshop. Would you like to come with me love?" Nos asked.

XR grinned, "Is XL making it complicated for you?"

Nos nodded. "He will not stop causing me so much annoyance. Please?"

XR nodded and looks to Mira. "Do you need a lift to Tangea?" XR asked.

"Thanks but I got my own ride. If you want XR, you can hang out with me afterwards?"

"Sure but be safe ok?" XR asked.

Mira nodded and left.

/

"Warp I appreciate that you came earlier but please next time you do this last minute choice, make your choices a bit earlier." Nos growled earlier as he hands the ex outlaw his items in a pocket box.

"Listen it's important I give her these gifts sooner than later. Their going to an area in two days that is actually close by to my hotel which is the perfect spot to propose." Warp places the box in his pocket but was infuriated by something else.

XR who was watching them was worried.

"Warp might want to tell us what's wrong? You look a bit mad." XR knows there is something wrong.

"It's not you guys it's just… there was some creep here about an hour ago. A Tangean.

earlier.

Warp glares as he waited by the shop and looking at the time. Whilst waiting, he saw a Tangean looking at the window with a smirk plastered in his face. Warp raised a brow, "See something you like?"

The man looks to him with a sneer. "If you must know, I am here to woo a girl, a princess with these… things."

Warp didn't have to think twice who this guy is as he glared.

"But seeing I am impatient, I am just going to drop in." The man backs up.

Warp glares but inwardly smirked as he knew Nos would not leave his shop defenseless especially when he makes certain NO one enters without permission.

The creep makes a run and jump only to slam his face against the wall.

"My tooth! My face!" He cried.

Warp chuckles and sees the man glare at him.

"What is so funny about this?! Do you know who I am?!"

Warp kneels at him with a glare back only this promise pain. He grips him with the robotic arm and threw him against the wall.

"No one here cares about your status or who you are and I don't need a snob little creep breaking in and taking things that don't belong to you." He threw him down seeing the guy backed away from Warp. "if I catch you coming here again, you better wish I don't have my weapons on me."

The man ran off but not without saying one thing.

"I will have the princess and I won't let her be taken by a hybrid freak!"

Now

"So this creep knows who you are!?" XR was now worried.

"Yup but I'm afraid he'll force Mira in a position neither of us want." Warp growled but sees Nos handing him a sledgehammer.

"I have some bust I made with his face to destroy personally for you." Nos spoke as Warp grabs the sledgehammer and swings it to hit the bust.

"Got any more?" Warp asked as Nos places another one. As Warp swings it, Nos continues. "He came by yesterday at star commander to propose to lady Mira but we were able to be rid of the ring."

Slam!

Nos places another one and Warp takes a swing at it. "But I believe that gem may have some device within it but I believe Mira threw it away."

Slam!

"Of course I did a little research of my own on this man. Apparently,"

Slam!

"He has been ruining neighboring kingdoms and has his eyes on Mira."

SLAM!

Nos patted away the dust and small pieces off of him. "He has been also making deals on the side with a certain tyrant."

SLAAAAAMMM!

Warp takes a moment and rolled his shoulders.

"Where did you get this info from?" Warp asked.

"A new recruit by the name Ryder-X10. He has a knack for finding information nobody wants to know. He asks in favor an autograph from my little mate." Nos was puzzled by the thought.

XR raised a brow, "Are you getting-"

"Why would I be threatened by an ex mafia member?" Nos crosses his arms and looks away.

XR held his hands up and grins. "Wasn't gonna say that; I was going to say are you getting hungry?"

Nos although puzzled nodded and made his way to grab a battery.

Warp wanted to laugh but couldn't while he has a few busts to smash but paused. "Hey XR I need a favor?"

XR raised a brow but nodded.

"I need you to stay by Mira's side. Don't let her even be alone on Tangea." Warp readies himself to smash the bust.

XR nodded but remembered. "Mira is heading to Tangea right now so I'll-"

Warp slams so hard he even broke the pedestal.

Nos seeing this glares and grabs the sledgehammer from Warp. "I believe that is enough." Nos spoke as he places the sledgehammer down. "I can make the travel to Tangea Warp and I will take my love there. Meanwhile please get going before you destroy this place."

Warp although a bit calm, couldn't help but glare at the thought of Mira being forced into a marriage especially with someone she doesn't even love.

"I'll see you later guys." And he walks away.

Meanwhile

Mira landed on the platform and jumps out and rushes to see her father. Just as she runs, she sees the what's his face creep coming up.

"My-!"

Before he could ever say any more, Mira flips him over and tosses him across the hall.

"I have no time for you!" She yells out and rushes to see her father mapping out their forest.

"Sweetheart I-" but he couldn't finish as his daughter lunges forward and hugs him.

"Sweetheart, are you alright?! Did that scoundrel tried to harm you? When I get my hands on him,"

"Father Tangea is in danger!"

The king froze.

Half an hour later

"... and we are to head up in the mid sector to intervene and stop the trades before Zurg could conquer the outer planets." Mira finished with her explanation but was nervous.

The king hugged her and she hugs him back.

"Thank you my dear for telling me. At least now I have a more or less understanding the situation that may occur."

"Father it's not a may! It will happen!" Mira wanted to cry.

"My dear I may not have high respect or faith in star command but I have faith in you." He smiles. "I doubt their so call clubhouse but you I will not doubt. You are not only soon to be queen, you are a protector to many others in the galaxy. They have faith in you." the king got up and so did she. "Now my dear please stay for a bit here and no I will not push you into marriage now when times are a bit hostile. I am to speak to an entrepreneur."

Mira nodded and left. She stopped for a moment and smiled feeling tears roll down her cheeks.

'father…' She was happy to hear her father's words. To hear that he does believe her.

'Maybe he might be…' but shook her head in doubt and began to walk to her room to change, seeing she has who knows how long until the time to head out will be. As she makes her way she was stopped by the creep. He leans down to her height and smirks.

"My dear I understand you are a space ranger but it was rude to flip me over. Perhaps a kiss to make amends?"

Mira was enraged and punched the man in the face, making him fall back.

"How dare you show your face here!" Mira towers over him, seeing him shock.

The man glares and saw she wasn't wearing the ring.

"Where is your ring?!" He shouted.

Mira learning Warp's tricks was unfazed and continues, "What ring? Look I don't care about you or whatever issues you have, get out!" Mira was ready to leave when Axis grabs her hand. He tightens his grip.

"Now you listen here princess," he started. "I want to have a nice long chat with you and you will go with me unless you want your so call half breed lover be exposed to daddy dearest. Imagine just how much pain and disappointment he will have."

Mira froze and tried to get away.

"I must admit your a real beauty, I wonder how good you are if you laid with him?" He uses the back of his hand to caress her cheek and Mira flinches, disgusted by the creep.

Gilbert smirked but screams in pain, letting go of Mira as she grips a certain part of his wrist to have him crying over.

Gilbert glares and ready to punch her but she had the upper hand and roundhouse kicks him.

Gilbert glares at her and holds out a ray gun and points it at her.

Mira froze and glares knowing she is in a small area with little room to move.

Gilbert pulls the trigger but nothing.

"You blasted- AAAAAAGH!"

Mira looks up to see it was Nos gripping the creeps hand, crushing it and causing him to drop it.

Nos grips the man by his collar and lifts him up. "How dare you attempt to harm my friend." Nos growls lowly pushing him against the wall.

Gilbert tries to faze through the wall but couldn't.

Nos smirked, showing his fangs. "Cannot faze through the walls? I figured out that ability and made a special design to keep pest like you from trespassing my workshop. Especially to catch and make them suffer." Nos enlarges his claws to end him but senses Mira and XR behind him so he chose not to enact.

'For now.' He levels Gilbert to the floor but kept his grip on him. "Now here is my deal: you keep away from her and never speak nor see her ever again." Nos stated.

Gilbert laughs at him tauntingly. "Do you think I'll listen to a robot like you? Please I have detail information on her-"

"And I have extremely well information about your little job in ruining kingdoms and having quite a bank. Not to mention the device you planted in the gem to control your victims."

Gilbert froze in shock. "You're lying?!"

"Wish to test me?" Nos threw him across the floor, away from them. "Try me."

Gilbert shakes and runs away from them.

Mira looks to the two bots.

"Thank you guys." Mira gave them a smile but inside she was repulsed knowing the creep could have done so much worse. Then she realized they are here and no holes. "Not that I'm grateful but how?"

Nos stretches his arm into the wall and it faze through.

"Right I forgot your new programs. So any chances you're staying for a bit?" Mira asked.

"I am for a bit but XR wanted to hang out with you after I show him something here." Nos spoke and Mira nodded. "I'll meet up with you guys later then, I'm gonna go and change and then go see my father. If I don't see you Nos, take care." Mira spoke.

"If you like we will walk you to your room. I fear he may be around."

Mira nodded and both bots walked with her.

"How are you two holding up?"

"We're ok it's just Nos and I are trying to see if we can get married at the church in Valder town. It's really beautiful especially when it's in the summer."

Mira grins. "So who are you inviting?"

"Well you of course and buzz and Booster and Gravitina."

Mira was surprised. "Are you sure? After the wedding incident? Her?"

XR looks to Nos.

"She is too a friend and she sponsors my work. She also blackmailed me." Nos spoke softly and both rangers looked at him as if he grew a second head.

"What secret does she have on you?!" XR asked, already thinking of possible and worst things.

Mira was even wondering what it could be.

"She found out I keep a plush version of XR when I sleep or speak of romantic poetry before I mated XR." Nos spoke, looking embarrassed.

Mira tilted her head but then blushed and so did XR.

"Should I be glad or jealous of the doll?" XR asked.

Nos was dark blue. "I only spoke of words and cuddle with it, nothing more. And it is small."

XR was relieved and smirked. "did you have it before or after you turned good?"

Nos kept quiet and Mira was even more surprised. "So it was before." Mira wanted to coo but saw she was getting close to her room. Before she could enter Nos stopped her. "Let me check for any unnecessary or conspicuous activities." Nos enters in.

Mira and XR waited.

"So who else?"

"Well it's going to be a small one but aside you guys and Gravitina and maybe DRAC, I guess the LGMs too." XR answered but frowns.

Mira pats his back. "Maybe he will come and support you."

XR smiles and they see Nos enters in holding a few cords.

"Whoever did this is awful at their job especially hiding in the obvious and secretive places."

Mira scowled at the fact someone went into her room and did this.

"Otherwise it is safe." Nos spoke.

Mira enters in and both bots wait for her.

Mira began to change and sees them leave. Mira makes her way to see her dad only to be surprised to see a 7 ft robot purely white with black within and blue optics.

"And as you can see my old friend because of your insensitivity, Zurg is well going out of line." Mira hid carefully as she watches the scene

The robot crooned his neck. "As if I would ever be sensitive to that fool my friend, I am not to be made a fool nor make deals that will give me nothing." The robot spoke. "But as friends I will make amends what was broken. I will catch up again old friend." And in a puff of smoke, he was gone. Mira enters in to see her father smile at her.

"Good to see you are well now darling."

Mira nodded and was hesitant to ask.

"Oh that robot you saw, he is well... an old friend of mine who helped me with a lot of things in the past."

Mira wanted to know more but chose not to as she saw her father move around her and stopped. "Care to have salad and tea with me for old times?"

Mira smiled as she followed her father.

'I'm pretty sure this won't be bad.'

/

Planet Z

Warp stood by the throne and sulk. 'Whatever happens, so long as Mira and everyone is safe.' Warp raised his blaster at a titan like robot.

"Got an appointment?" Warp asked already knowing who this guy is.

"I am here to speak to Zurg." The count spoke as all hornets aim their weapons at him.

Warp was surprised to see the count gave a bored look. With a snap all robots were offline.

Warp was a bit surprised but stood his ground.

"Quite brave of you." The Count spoke but glared as he sniff out something. "Quite a female perfume you are covered. Phantomus and certainly one that reflects what part you are from."

Warp froze as he glared down at the robot.

"Please I know species of all kind little man and I heard a troublesome one harming a good dear friend of mine's daughter."

"Are you insinuating something?" Warp held his blaster up.

"I know already about you and her, I keep close eye on things but we both care for all wellbeings so you let me pass and I will not kill you." The Count stated.

Warp let his blaster down and the robot passed.

"If you dare break her heart, I will break yours just as I broke that bulbous bounty hunter's hands."

"I love her more than anything, I will take a bullet for her."

The robot stares at him for a moment and left. "You will definitely give her father a run for his money." And the door closes.

Zurg was constructing the newest design of an energy vampire with a new unimind he made.

"If I had to be honest my pupil, this robot looks nearly like me if not shorter."

Zurg turned to see his former teacher stood by the designs admired.

"What are you doing here? Here to berate me? Say more distasteful things?!"

"An apology is in order." The count stated.

Zurg was surprised but glared. "I do not need your pity! You were right when I cannot step up my game!"

"I was upset for the fact you were using desperate tactic. You are and only my student that is successful in this business. I should not be so harsh on you when have succeeded more than I have in my younger days."

Zurg was shocked, "Are you being honest with me?"

The count nodded and Zurg smiled with glee as the count was hugged by him.

"I will not let you down sir! Will you watch the destruction of a few planets be destroyed?" Zurg asked.

"Your remember my rules Zurg, why waste the planet and its people especially when you want to rule them."

"Right of course and the whole balance of the universe and all. By why is there a tale of the -"

"We do not speak his name especially when I am here!"

Zurg straighten keeping quiet.

"My apologies I nearly forgotten it is taboo."

Zurg shrunk as the optics of DRAC glowed in rage.

"I let you get away with creating Nos-4-a2 based on him and I am excited to see this one here but the number one rule: NEVER SPEAK HIS NAME. I must be on my way my pupil."

The count disappeared.

Warp enters in just to see Zurg was excited.

"Um did something happen?" Warp asked.

"I am under his good grace again!"

Warp inwardly relieved.

"That's good to here sir."

"Don't you see?! If I am under his good grace again I can make ease with my trades even more! Not to mention I can throw it in his face to prove I am the greatest conqueror and villain ever! But I won't destroy the planets yet. Oh no," Zurg smirked as he went back to his planning and constructing.

Warp sighed in relief but inwardly glare. "If you'll excuse me, I need to get over to my hotel and get ready for the trades."

"Thank you Warp you are dismissed."

Warp unfazed didn't feel right.

"Thank you sir." Warp then left making his way to his ship to get there. Excited to show and give her the gifts.

Zurg smirked as he was constructing the robot.

"First I am going to make certain you become the greatest assassin and then you will destroy Buzz lightyear! For now I need to find this spy…"
