Mira examined the outifts on the bed. Both were jeans Mira had seen Kelly wear an outfit similar to this during their travels, loose fitting jeans and shirts. Kelly quickly threw on her out fit. Faded blue jeans and a girls shirt with the outline of a fish in pink across her chest. Mira picked up her pants and got ready to put it on.

Just as she did, kelly rushed forward, yelling as she did,

"Hey! Guard! Walter! Come over here!"

One of the monsters lowered turned and lowered it's head to look at the girls. Finally getting a good look at it. It reminded mira or the dragons she used to read story books about to the orphans she would visit back on capital planet, only much thinner around the middle, and with one mean looking spiked tail. It slowly snaked it's head in toward the two, stopping a short distance. It's mouth never moved, but mira could hear it clear as day.

"Yyyyyyeessssss?"

"Walter," Kelly began in her softest voice, one she reserved for Buzz " Be a dear and get this metal off my friends neck, I want her to look cute in this outfit and she can't change with it on her neck."

Mira hadn't forgotten about the cage around her neck. The idea of having it off excited her, even if she had to act like nothing had changed.

The monster didn't waste any time pulling it's head back. In short order a small dragon appeared with a crude set of bolt cutters. He quickly cut off mira's neck ring and turned to leave. As it left the lit circle, Kelly spoke up again.

"Walter, I need some more of my stuff from my villa. Take Mira here there and get it for me,. She knows what I need, simple stuff like my hair dryer and make up bag, okay dear?"

Turning quickly to mira,

"This is it mira, it's now or never, do or die. I've been to this planet, I saved the grubs from them, so when they figure out who I am, I'm dead for sure. This is all in your hands."

With that mira was picked up in the dragon's claw and they were gone leaving Kelly by herself, only an empty gun to make her feel safe.

Thirty minutes later Buzz climbed into his suit and immediately noticed the emergency message indicator flashing.

It was a message from mira, sent from the villa buzz had stayed at, during an amazing night that felt so long ago.

"Buzz, it's mira, we're being held at these coordinates in the snowy mountain region. These monsters are the ones we were looking for so call everyone and get them here as fast as possible! Zurg is here somewhere and we can't give Kelly-" the message ended there as the recording ended.

Buzz immediately dialed up XR and Booster afraid of what he would find with those two. To his surprise his call went straight through to booster who looked busy readying the ship to rush to Buzz's rescue.

Buzz gave the coordinates to the rookie and began readying his suit for a fight.

"Right Buzz" Booster answered as he got the coordinates. Commander nebula assigned thirty rangers! All to help you when you reported in! We'll be there in about an hour and a half!"

Unfortunately Buzz wasn't the only one who received the message, he was just the only one who could decode it quickly. In his purple chamber Zurg walked back and forth waiting impatiently for the message to be decoded.

"GRUBS!! WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG!"

Every grub in the room shook in fear, running a little faster, working their computers a little faster.

"Evil Emperor Zurg, this will take time! An hour to decode, but once we get it done we can be anywhere in thirty minutes!"

"Fine" Zurg growled, "But don't make it one more second or you'll all be scrubbing the hull on take off!"

The grubs weren't sure if Zurg was serious or not and weren't ready to find out as they worked on the decoding, others putting in the new, more effective combat programming into the Hornets and Uber hornets.

The last person to get the message didn't have such noble ambitions. It wouldn't take him nearly that long to decode, but it would take a while for him to get into place.

Keno Kentrix was patient though. Revenge would come soon enough, and the money was a nice perk for a job he had planned to do for free.

Soon the perfect storm was set, and for a planet used to weather control, it would just make it that much more disastrous.
