Thanks for all the fantabulous reviews! And now heres chapter 2:
Though the safety landing seem to be operating well at first, the roughness of the wind and the climate made way for a crash landing for #42 and the space cruiser.
"Team Lightyear to Star Command-" Buzz tried setting up a call with Commander Nebula.
"I don't think Star Command can connect with us Buzz." Booster sighed.
"Blast!" Buzz muttered.
"What now, Buzzo?" XR asked sarcastically.
"We go find Dr. Furbanna's settlement." Buzz decided.
"On foot?" XR whined. "My metal is going to tarnish!"
"Negative, Ranger." Buzz said. "We're going by jet pack."
The four team members pressed their suits' big red buttons, but three of them sizzled from loose circuits during the hard landing. The only one working belonged to Booster, which was taken beyond advantage, considering the amount of people (and robots) he could hold at one time.
"Over there!" Mira pointed to a white rectangular building with a star command symbol on one of the sides.
Booster nodded and stuck the landing a few feet away.
"Nice job, Booster." Buzz complimented the enthusiastic red alien. Booster saluted and said, "Thanks Buzz!"
"Time to get to business." XR stated as his 'stomach' opened and a thin, mechanical arm pulled out a pink bottle. "Hold your breath, Buzz."
Buzz started coughing hysterically. "What is that forsaken stench, XR?" he asked.
"Cologne." XR answered simply. "C'mon, Buzz. You gotta show Dr. Furbanna what she wants."
"I am here strictly for professional reasons, Ranger. There is nothing going on between me and the doctor."
"Believe what you want, Buzz." sighed Mira. "But you can't fool us."
Buzz stuck his chin up and led the way into the Star Command naturalist base. "Good afternoon, Dr. Furbanna." Buzz said with as much authority as possible. Before he could speak again, though, he looked straight forward and realized that the woman looking back at him was not Dr. Furbanna. Instead of a brunette bob and a green Star Command uniform, a young lady stood there with long ginger hair tied back in a braid, a white long-sleeves blouse with yellow cuffs and neckline, a pair of blue jeans, and brown cowgirl boots. "Howdy!" she exclaimed.
"Hello, there." Buzz said, slightly disappointed. "Where is Dr. Furbanna?"
"Reassigned, Sir. I'm Jessie, an aspired naturalist and Star Command rookie."
"Nice to meet you, Ma'am. I am Buzz Lightyear-"
"Oh, I know who you are; who doesn't?"
Buzz blushed a little bit. "This is my crew." He pointed to his team members behind him. "Princess Ranger Nova, Booster, and XR."
"Well, hello there..." XR winked at the rookie, who only rolled her eyes.
"Sorry, robots aren't my type." She winked back.
"The pretty ones are always the stereotypes…" XR grumbled, causing Jessie to giggle.
"You're the princess of Tangea?" Jessie asked Mira.
"More like former princess, but yes." Mira explained. "But please, don't gravel at my feet or whatever."
"Don't worry. You have my word I won't." Jessie laughed. "Hiya, big fella." She turned to Booster.
"Hey!" the red mush-ball said enthusiastically.
"So, Dr. Jessie-" Buzz said.
"Please, just call me Jessie." The naturalist said.
"Will do, Ma'am." He said.
Suddenly, the ground shook and a thin crack went through the middle of the ground, growing bigger as it lengthened. With his space ranger instinct, Buzz grabbed Jessie by the stomach and pulled her to safety. "What in the sane heck are you doin', Lightyear?" Jessie screeched.
Buzz, surprised that Jessie wasn't grateful for the rescue, tried to explain. "Well-I-I thought, weren't you in danger?"
"What are you talking about? That's just Woody and Bullseye!" she exclaimed as the crack kept getting bigger and bigger until a gigantic, blue creature pushed itself out of the ground carrying a young man.
"I beg your pardon?" Buzz asked, still confused that she gave that creature a name.
"This here is a Naralzak," Jessie said pointing to the creature behind her. "Awfully rare. I found this one lost when it was a mere infant. Now me and my brother Woody are raisin' him."
"Why?" Mira said, sounding a little disgusted.
""Why not?" the man named Woody said a little too cheerfully as he slid down the back of the Naralzak.
"Yes…one of these creatures helped save the Madame President…" Buzz reminisced a tad.
"Well, you don't say, partner." Woody said and extended his hand toward Buzz. Buzz shook it.
"Wow, really?" Jessie's emerald eyes grew wide. "That's amazing!" she stroked Bullseye's back. "So what's your team doin' in Karn, of all places?"
"Well…it seems as if a gravitational force pushed us here, and now we are trapped." Buzz explained. "My ship crashed."
"Do you think you guys could help?" asked Booster in his upbeat voice.
"You're darn tootin' we can!" Jessie said.
She climbed on the back of Bullseye and beckoned Buzz to join her. She leant out her hand to Buzz. "Um, no thank you, Ma'am. I think we're better off-" Though, before he could finish, Jessie grabbed his arm and lifted him up and behind her on the Naralzak.
"Don't be a baby," she said. "Unlike the other ones, Bullseye is completely harmless."
"Alrighty then…" Buzz said, a bit flustered at Jessie's touch.
"Can I come too?" Booster asked actively.
"Sorry, big guy," Jessie said regretfully. "I don't think Bullseye'll be able to hold the two of us and you."
"Aw…okay…" Booster pouted faintly.
"Why don't you follow us by flight?" Buzz asked Booster.
"Sure thing, Buzz!" Booster said, acting like his cheerful self.
Buzz turned to Mira and XR. "Follow-erm-Woody. He knows the land and can show you around. Try to figure out why Zurg would want to trap us here. Or why he would want to invade the planet himself."
"Isn't obvious?" XR cockily said. "He could train these hideous creatures to corrupt the universe; especially Star Command!" he flailed his mechanical arms for dramatic effect. "Besides, how do you know this is Zurg we're dealing with?"
"Zurg is coming?" Jessie said, startled. Her face got all puffy and her breathing deepened.
"What's the matter?" Mira asked Woody.
"Zurg trapped us on Planet Z once. We were friends with a traitor. Stinky Pete led us to Zurg when we were barely rookies. We were locked up in separate prisons, for no apparent reason. Jessie was in the dark for quite some time, and now she's claustrophobic."
From behind, Buzz put a hand on Jessie's shoulder. "Don't worry. We will make sure that Zurg leaves this planet, and is later destroyed."
"Aren't you the sweetest space ranger I ever met?" Jessie smiled, leaving Buzz with a goofy grin of his own.
Sorry for the shortness and simpleness of this chapter! It's more like a fill-in.
If ne one is interested in seeing what a Naralzak looks like, or what Dr. Furbanna looks like, you can watch the buzz lightyear of star command episode "Return to Karn" on youtube.
Support=love and I hope u all had a great time reading this chapter!
