Chapter 10: Energy Hunger
At Star Command Science Bay, The Space Rangers and the Main 10 are trying to come up with a plan for the rescue. The Space Rangers are planning on rescue Sun and Wire Wolf from Nos-4-A2. However, there is a problem.
"What do you mean you won't let us go?!" Rainbow exclaims.
"We mean, we're not going to let you take on Nos-4-A2. He's a dangerous machine and criminal," Mira says.
"We don't care. Our friends are in a hands as you say a dangerous robotic criminal. He already control Wire Wolf and he plans to use him. I don't want to think what he has plans for Sun," Adagio says.
"Totally! If you think we're going to stay here like stumps, you got another thing coming," Falling Star says.
Sombra says, "I have to agree. After all, I owed a lot to Sun and the girls for helping turn my life around."
"Right. I remember you telling us that you were uh, an evil dictator, but also been through a lot of pain" Booster says.
"That's right. I might still have a dark heart if the girls haven't come along," Sombra says.
Aria says, "Yeah. We owe Sun a lot after for what she has done for us and for so many others. She turned our lives around."
"She's like the sun that always shines every darkness," Sonata says.
"You don't expect all of us to stand by and allow that monster to do what he wants to Sun and Wire Wolf," Rarity says.
"So there… you… go… we're going," Pinkie says.
Buzz sighs, "Fine. You all can go, but you all need to take orders."
"Right," The gang answer.
Fluttershy raises her hand and asks, "Um, what do we do about the machine?"
"The LGMS will start building it, and thanks to Commander Nebula, they have a way to get the power source we need," Buzz says.
"Great. Then let's go rescue our friend!" Sonata cheers.
"Yeah!" the crew cheer.
The Rangers look at the ten friends' determination.
"Those kids won't last long even with those powers," XR comments.
"You got to admire their spirit," Ty replies.
"Right. We need to keep an eye on them and make sure they're ready for battle," Buzz says.
Still unconscious, Sun is laying on what looks like a table and her wrists, ankles, and waist are strapped to it. Sun soon begins to groan and slowly open her eyes and they're still red with purple in the middle. Sun opens her eyes half way as her vision is blurry. Soon enough, her vision clears, and look around the unfamiliar surroundings.
Sun looks around, "What is this place? What happened…"
Suddenly, Sun remembers what has happen. The energy vampire has taken control of WireWolf and makes her lose consciousness.
"That's right… he was able to control me," Sun mutters.
She then tries to move her arms and legs, but can't seem to lift them up. Sun becomes confused to why she can't move. She looks at her wrists and yelps to see cuff that is keeping her wrist on the table. She looks down to see her waist and ankles are also strapped to the table. What's more it's in a possession that has allowed her to stand, but slightly tilted.
Sun tries to move and panics, "What's going on?! I can't break out. Help! Someone help! Girls! Sombra! Wire Wolf!"
Sun continues to move and tries to free her arms and legs, but it's no use. She's stuck on the table and is going to stay for a while.
Sun sighs, "Now what am I going to do?"
Sun looks around to see the room is not anywhere she has seen. It's full of machines and dare she say, shut down robots. She then looks at the other side of the room to see something shocking.
"That's… that's a machine that we're trying to build. He already have it built. I wonder what he's planning to do with it," Sun says to herself
Suddenly, her eyes has been covered by blue metallic hands, "You'll find out soon enough."
"Oh no!" Sun mutters, because she knows the energy vampire is in the room right now.
Riding on Cruise 42, the Main 10 and the Space Rangers are on the rescue mission to save Sun and Wire Wolf. They hope that they can rescue the two before anything bad happens. However, they come up with one problem.
"What do you mean, you don't know where he is?" Twilight asks.
"We mean that we do have a few ideas where he could have gone, but we don't exactly know," Mira says.
"He could be anywhere by now. We're never gonna find him," Applejack worriedly says.
Aria firmly says, "It's a fine time to talk like that."
"Um do you think whatever the energy vampire is up to could have something to do with Sun and Wire Wolf?" Fluttershy asks.
"We hope not," Ty says.
"We just got to find them. Sun and Wire Wolf are our friends and we need to save them," Rainbow says.
"Rainbow's right, our friends need up and we're going to save them," Pinkie says.
Everyone nod their heads. Suddenly, their geodes begin to glow their colors.
The Rangers look to see the glowing from the girls' necklaces.
"Uh what's going on?" XR asks.
"I don't know. I sensed this happened before," Twilight says.
Suddenly, a string of light from each of their necklaces begins to spring out and travel into space.
"Woah! Now that is something you don't see everyday," Buzz says.
Sonata gasps, "Now I remember. It happened when Falling Star transformed into Mistress Star and took Sun. Somehow our magic was able to make a rainbow color path to help us find her."
"You're right. I bet the geodes are picking up Sun and Wire Wolf's and are showing us where they're at," Aria says.
"And it worked," Rainbow says.
"Hmm, I wonder if your magic and geodes act like homing beacons and are able to sense each other whenever they're in trouble," Booster suggests.
"That's what we thought, but it seems to work when we're at a farther distance. I'll bet if we follow the rainbow strings, then we'll know where Nos-4-A2 is," Twilight says.
Sombra says, "Find the energy vampire, then we'll find Sun and Wire Wolf."
"Sounds like a plan. Let's move out," Buzz says.
Buzz put on the boosters and the Cruiser fly faster into space as they follow the rainbow color strings.
Meanwhile, Sun having problems of her own. The energy vampire floating in front of the table she is strapped in. She looks to see Wire Wolf is close to him and walks to Sun on fours. Wire Wolf simply stands in front of Sun and rubs her right leg. Sun feels calm about it, but is still in trouble.
Sun struggles at her restraints, "Let me go!"
"Sorry, but I need your for a little project," The vampire says, and holds Sun's chin with his claw.
"Project? What project? What are you going to do to us? Does this have to do with the Energy Syphon?" Sun asks, but is afraid to ask on the inside.
"You could say that. The syphon is only part of my plan," The vampire says.
"Part of it?" Sun asks. Then gulps.
"Don't worry, it's not going to be too painful. The syphon is part of my plan. By the time the next part of my plan Star Command will be helpless," The vampire says.
"So that's why you took the plans for the Syphon the LGMs maid. You're using it to drain power from Star Commands," Sun suspects.
"Correct. Like I said that is the first part of my plan. The second part, will require your help," The vampire says.
"My help?" Sun asks, sounding scared.
Sun says in thought, "I got a bad feeling about this."
"Yes. Your powers are rather unique and so are your friends. You will be perfect subject to test my new machine," The vampire says with a smirk.
"What?" Sun asks in thought.
"Of course my Robotization Cannon isn't fully ready yet. By the time it does, will be more metal and wires than flesh and blood," The vampire says.
Sun gasps, "You're going to turn me into a robot?!"
"Well, that's a start," The vampire says.
Sun feeling like this is only going to get worse. She then feels the energy vampire's claw touching her neck. Sun realizes what he's planning to do next.
The vampire smirks to see the frightened look on her face, "I suspect you know what I plan to do next."
"You're going to turn me into a vampire too?" Sun asks.
"Correct. You will be like me once the machine is operational, and soon everyone in the galaxy will be turned into machines as well," The vampire says, making his monocle glow.
Sun is scared and shocked to hear what he is planning to do with her, and gulps in fear.
In space, everyone are still in the Cruiser as to go on their rescue mission. They are still following the rainbow color strings. In the back, Mira and Ty are helping the kids put on space suits. Since they're going to danger territory, they might as well be prepared.
After dressing in the space suits, the girls and Sombra look at themselves.
"I have to admit, this isn't so bad. Although, I do with they have it in purple," Rarity says.
"I feel like a real space hero on television," Rainbow says.
"I think it looks cool," Aria says.
"Glad you all like it. It's a good thing we decided to bring them," Mira says.
"So are we. Now we can go rescue our friend from whatever trouble she's in. I'm hoping it's not going to be too bad," Sonata says.
"Why do I feel that it is going to be bad and soon will affect us?" Adagio bluntly asks herself.
"Because it usually happens like that," Falling Star replies.
"Exactly," Adagio says.
"Alright, let's head back to the bridget to see how far we've gotten," Ty says.
"How far did we gone to since then?" Pinkie asks.
"Probably a few hours," Mira answers.
After walking into the hedgehog everyone sit down and make sure they are nicely fastened for the landing. They wait to see where they are going as they follow the strings.
Fluttershy looks out the window and asks, "Is that it over there?"
Everyone look out the window to see the strings leading to a far planet and it's one that Ty and Team Lightyear are familiar with.
"Canis Lunas. Been a long time since I last came here," Ty says.
"Yeah. It was where you first turned into a robot monster and tear me to shreds," XR says.
"Tear you to shreds? What happened?" Applejack asks.
"You know most of it so I won't bore you with those details," XR says.
He then brings out a projector and shows a clip of himself. Just then robot claws grab him and Xr screams like a little girl. Then is pulled behind the boxes and the sound of rip and shredding paper. Then XR body parts come flying out. Sombra and the girls are stunned by the clip.
Rainbow says, "Ooh, that's gotta hurt."
"Trust me, it too more than a couple of rivets and a new coat of paint to fix that," XR says.
"And it gets annoying every time you show it," Ty adds.
Buzz says, "Alright everyone, remember that we're on an important mission and anything Nos-4-A2 has plan, it can't be good."
"You're right. We need to rescue Sun and Wire Wolf, and stop whatever plan he has," Twilight says.
"Then let's get going with our rescue mission," Rainbow says.
The girls and Sombra nod their heads.
Rainbow says in thought, "Don't worry Sun, Wire Wolf. We're going to save you and put an end to this energy vampire's plan."
Cruiser 42 continue to fly toward the planet to rescue Sun and Wire Wolf, and stop whatever plan he has. They hope they can save their friends before it's too late.
