Episode 11: The Robot Collector Part 1
In the streets of Capital Planet, many humans, aliens, and robots busy with their everyday lives. The beings are working, jogging, selling things, and anything that goes around in the planet.
Among the citizens is a vending robot. He is busy selling drinks and snacks to the customers. Suddenly, something arrives at the scene at top speed. In a matter of seconds, the vending robot is gone, without a trace.
Everyone gasp in shock to see the robot disappearing right in front of their eyes, and have no clue who it is.
In Trade World, there are two cleaning robots, a spray bottle, and a windshield wiper. They are cleaning windows of one of the buildings. Just then, some speeding being zooms, and the cleaning supplies disappears without a trace.
Finally, some of the security robots in a museum is looking around for any intruders. But then that robot has disappeared and is taken by something super fast, and no clues are left behind.
Soon enough, news are begin to report that robots are disappearing in different planets. What's more, no one knows who or what has taken by the robot. What's more, how is it able to move so fast in a blink of an eye.
Even at Planet Z. Hornets are flying all over the planet. Some of them are standing guard around Zurg's palace. Just then, the accelerating unknown comes pass the Hornets. But then, three Hornet guards are missing.
In the conference room, Commander Nebula has called the rangers for an important meeting. Buzz and his team along with Ty and his team are among the large group of Rangers to be called in.
"Alright everyone, robots are disappearing in many different parts of the galaxy. What's more, no one was able to get to get a look at this robot napper. We need to find out who is responsible before this thing strike again," Nebula says.
"Were there any surveillance on the security cameras?" Mira asks.
"Yes, but the security camera didn't capture a close view of it. Whatever that thing is, it's very fast about the speed of light," Nebula answers.
Buzz begins to think, "Hmm. If robots are beginning to disappear, then there must be a reason for someone to take the robots."
"But who could be taking the robots?" Booster asks.
"I have a pretty good idea. If robots continues to disappear then they can be used for whatever nefarious scheme to take over the galaxy," Buzz says in a serious tone.
"Let me guys, you think Zurg is behind this?" Ty asks.
"Exactly," Buzz answers.
Suddenly, everyone in the office begins to beep. Everyone look to see that it's the video phone.
Commander Nebula asks, "Now who could be calling us at this time?"
Commander Nebula presses the button to see who is calling. Appearing on the video screen, the Rangers become in shock to see who is calling.
"I demand Buzz Lightyear on the phone… Now!" A familiar raging voice answers.
The caller is Evil Emperor Zurg.
"Uh, I guess he wants you," XR replies, confusedly.
Buzz comes forward, and asks, "What do you want Zurg?"
"Well Lightyear, it pains me to say it and I mean, really pains me to say this… I need you to find my Hornets and Brain Pods. Five of my Hornets and three of my Brain Pods have disappeared without a trace. Not even my security got a glimpse of it. I need you to find my robots… NOW!" Zurg demands in anger.
Then the video phone turns off.
"Well, it looks like Zurg didn't do it," Nebula replies.
"But if Zurg didn't do it, who did?" XR asks.
Buzz begins to think and wonder who could be taking the robots.
Suddenly, they begin to hear banging coming from the door.
Nebula groans, "What now?"
"Buzz! Ty!" Twilight's voice calls out.
"Twilight? I thought we told her not to come here until the meeting's done," XR replies.
Ty walks over to the door, and presses the button so it can open. The door opens to see Twilight standing in front of the door, and doesn't look very happy.
"I'm sorry to come in even though you told me not to, but I just got a call from Savy. Her mom disappeared without a trace," Twilight says.
Everyone gasp in shock to hear the news.
On the top of the Sleepy Hotel, Twilight, Ty,and Team Lightyear arrive to see Savy to get her side of the story. It's kind of hard to get the story because Savy is too busy being angry.
"I swear, when I get my hands on the one who did it I'll turn them into scrap metal!" Savy angrily shouts.
"Alright Savy, calm down. Now, think you can tell us what happen," Twilight replies.
Savy begins to take a few breaths, and calm herself down.
Then Savy says, "My mom and I were walking around the city when something came out of nowhere super fast. The next thing I new, she was gone."
"Same like the other robot disappearances," Buzz replies.
"Whoever is doing it's moving really fast," Mira says.
"And seems to have an interest in robots," Booster adds.
"Alright, we need to find this robot snatcher and stop it. To lure it in, we're gonna need some bait," Buzz says.
"Good idea! All we need is a robot with lots of gadgets lot of power, and lots of parts," XR says.
He then notices his fellow Rangers are looking at him.
Twilight walks in, "Well XR, it looks like you and I are going to be the bait."
XR gasp in shock, and exclaims, "Bad idea! It's a very bad idea! Yeah! No that I think of it, it's very bad!"
"Let's just get this over with. I don't want any more robots being abducted like that," Twilight says.
"Exactly. And I know where to set our trap," Buzz says.
At Capital Planet, Twilight and XR are walking on the sidewalk to wait for something to happen. As fast as they know, the two robots are being used to lure the robot snatcher out of hiding.
Twilight whispers, "Remember XR, we just have to walk down as if nothing's suspicious."
"Right," XR replies.
Twilight and XR continue to walk down the sidewalk hoping this robot napper can't resist a space ranger robot and a stellar energized robot.
As they walk around, Ty and Team Lightyear are hiding out. Buzz and Ty are watching them from below and walking behind them. Booster and Mira are on one of the buildings looking from above.
Ty whispers, "I think this is a bad idea making Twilight bait, Buzz."
"Why you say that?" Buzz asks.
"Because I'm worried about her being out there when someone attacking robots. Especially what happen the last two times," Ty says.
"Don't worry Ty, we got tracking devices on both of them. If they end up getting taken, we can detect where they're going to be," Buzz says.
"That's reassuring," Ty replies.
Buzz and Ty continue to walk behind the two robots to see that they're both still together, but are ready if the robot napper shows up.
Buzz whispers to his communicator, "How are things going from your point?"
"Nothing so far," Mira answers.
"Yeah. Maybe this robot napper isn't coming," Booster says.
Then Mira presses the button on the communicator, "How are you both doing XR?"
"Not doing all that great. We're being used for bait and the fish is not even here," XR answers.
"You're trying to make a joke out of this, aren't you?" Twilight asks.
"Just trying to put a smile on everyone faces," XR replies.
Twilight rolls her eyes, "Let's try not to sound like bait."
"Right," XR answers.
Twilight and XR continue to walk down the sidewalk, while the rangers keep an eye on them from different angle. The two robots continue to walk down the sidewalks, then they hear something zooms past them from behind. They quickly turn around to see nothing.
"What was that?" XR asks.
"I don't know," Twilight answers.
Just then, something zips past them from the otherside. They quickly turn around to see nothing.
Suddenly, she hears XR screams, and quickly turns around to see that he's gone."
"XR? XR? XR, where are you?!" Twilight calls out.
Just then, something accelerates at the speed of light, and Twilight disappears too in seconds.
The four Rangers gasp in shock to see that their robot friends have disappeared.
"Woah! Someone came by really fast!" Booster says.
"Um yeah, but XR and Twilight are gone," Mira points out.
"We have to find them," Ty says.
Buzz looks at the tracking device and says, "Luckily the tracker is working and they're giving a signal. They seem to be heading into space."
"What?! How can someone get into space that fast?" Ty asks in shock.
"That's what we need to find out, so let's move fast," Buzz answers.
Buzz, his team mates, and Ty are in Cruiser 42, and are already blasting off into space.
Trapped in a dark room with a light shining over them, Twilight begins to regain conscious, which is strange. She doesn't remember going into sleep mode.
Twilight looks around, "Where… where are we?"
Twilight looks around to see the place is very dark, and doesn't seem to be a way out. She turns next to her right side to see XR.
"XR, are you okay?" Twilight asks.
XR is able to activate and sit up with a ground and rubs his helmet.
"What happen?" XR asks.
"I don't know, but it seems that we became the next victims of whoever is stealing the robots," Twilight answers.
"You are correct!" A strange voice speaks out.
XR and Twilight quickly stand up and look around to find the source of the mysterious voice. So far they aren't seeing anyone.
Just then, another light shines in front of them to reveal source of the voice. They gaps in shock to see who it is. This being seems to be a kind of robot with a brown body. He seems to have different parts of various animals and they're made of metal. A green snake tail, long brown rabbit ears and white antlers, and brown hooves for feet. His robotic hands has different kinds of devices. A knife, pencil, pen, spoon, fork, a electric rod, a small raygun, a screwdriver, a drill, and a sharp needle. He is also wearing a strange black coat.
The being chuckles, and says, "Beautiful, you two will be a nicely in my collection."
"Collection?" Twilight questions.
"What do you mean by collection?" XR asks.
"Simple, you two will be the finishing touch for my robot collection," the robot says.
"Who are are?" Twilight asks with a glare in her eyes.
"I've been known as, The Robot Collector. You see, not only that I'm a robot, I also collect them," The robot answers.
Twilight then confronts the Collector, "Of course, you've been stealing different kinds of robots to build up your collection."
"Exactly, and you and your friend are a very rare piece for my collection," the Collector says.
"How so?" XR asks.
"Well, it's not everyday that you get a robot Ranger and a very lovely robot that runs on a special energy," The Collector says.
Twilight and XR look at the robot with shocked looks. This robot have heard of them before, and wants to keep them like a collection.
"And now, my collection is complete," the Collector evilly says.
"I'm not going to be part of your collection," Twilight says, glaring at him.
The Collector chuckles, "Such high spirit. You sure will make a lovely addition."
He then snaps his robotic fingers, and two giant robots appear and grab Twilight and XR.
"Now please take them to their new home. And put the girl in the very rare room," The Collector says.
The guard then takes the two hostages away. Twilight and XR are trying to break free, but they are unable to.
One of the guard is in front of the room and the metal door opens. Then he throws XR in there and shuts the door. XR yelps after being thrown in here.
XR angrily shouts, "Hey! Is that a way to treat a fellow robot?!"
The other guard then brings Twilight to a steel door, and opens it. Then he places Twilight inside the room, and closes the door. Twilight quickly gets to the closed door, and tries to use her strength to open the door. But the door is made of really strong steel that it's impossible for her to open it.
Twilight sighs, "Great, what am I gonna do now?"
Twilight knows that she's stuck in here, and there's no way out of this room. Hanging upside down above the ceiling, something else is in the same room and knows Twilight's presence. The being lets out a hiss of satisfaction and glowing red eyes, and wants to enjoy her company.
In Cruiser 42, the Rangers are trying to figure out where Twilight and XR are. They look on the screen to see the tracker is being detected and are heading to where it is.
"Well we know the tracking devices are showing us where they are and appears to be moving, but we're having trouble picking up the exact location," Mira says.
"We have to keep trying, Twilight and Xr could be in big trouble," Ty says.
Booster asks, "Who does this robot napper wants with robots? And what do they want with Twilight and XR?"
"I don't know, but we have to find them," Buzz answers.
He looks on the screen, and says, "The device is still picking up their signal so they got to be close."
The Cruiser continues to fly across space to figure out where their two robot friends are. The Ranger hope that they can find them in time before something happen to them.
Still trapped in the dark room, Twilight looks around to see if there's a way out or at least someone who can help her.
Twilight looks around, "There just has to be a way out of this place."
Twilight continues to walk around to see if she can find anyway to escape and find XR. But as she looks around for an exit, someone or something is secretly floating to her. The something has light blue silver robotic arms and claws, and glowing red eyes.
Before Twilight can react, Something covers her mouth, and wraps around her waist pinning her arms. Twilight tries to scream, but someone is preventing her to let out even a squeak. Twilight is able to get a glance of what is holding on to her, and realizes who they belong to.
A voice also gives it away, "Hello Twilight, how pleased I am to see you again."
Twilight becomes stunned to hear the voice, "Nos-4-A2!"
Twilight tries her best to struggle out of his grip, but the embrace on his waist is to strong for her to escape.
"Calm yourself my dear, you're not in any danger," the vampire says.
"Yet, why do I feel like I'm in trouble?" Twilight says in thought.
The energy vampire then takes his claw from Twilight's mouth, and bushes her short dark blue hair.
"I suppose you were wondering how I ended up here," Nos-4-A2 says.
"That did cross my mind, but I suspect that the Collector captured you somehow to put in his collection. He did the same to me," Twilight says. She decides to keep the XR here as well a secret so he won't try to attack him.
"That's correct. It looks like we'll be here for a little while," The vampire says.
"Hopefully Buzz and the others can find us before he decides to do something to me," Twilight says in thought.
Twilight flinches to feel the vampire's claw is rubbing the front of her next and under her chin. She feels shivers in her hardrive that it's hard for her to bear it. He then lifts her head up and to the side exposing her neck.
Fearing what he might do, Twilight quietly says, "No, please."
"Don't fret, I'm not going to feed on you. Not yet anyway. But until then, I think a little rest could do you some good," The vampire calmly says.
He lets go of Twilight and turns her around for her to face him. He then wraps his arm around her waist and cuffs her chin with the other lifting her head to see his glowing red eyes. Before Twilight can react, a red beam of light from the red monocle shines to her face, especially her eyes.
Soon enough Twilight's eyes turn to a red color and she becomes dazed.
"Calm yourself my dear. You wouldn't be afraid of your dark master would you?" The energy vampire says in a calm done.
He holds her chin up and then rubs her on her left cheek. Twilight eyes are red and she's in a daze. She is now completely under the energy vampire's control and his grasp.
He leans to her, and asks, "And my dear, it's time for you to rest for now. But don't worry, I have a plan to take over this ship."
Hearing her master's command, Twilight closes her eyes and falls asleep. The energy vampire holds onto her to see her asleep. He then carries her bridal style and brings her over to a coffin in the room. He then places Twilight inside to let her rest.
He then rubs Twilight cheek and says, "Sleep well."
He then leaves the coffin to carry out his plan.
