Title: Zurg
Summary: Jessie and Buzz are captured by the evil emperor Zurg
Characters/Pairings: Buzz, Jessie, Zurg
Notes: I don't quite know what this is: I guess it's part of the AU Jessie/Buzz stuff I've been working on that's partially movie based, partially Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (the tv show) based. It's fairly short and it takes place in the middle of a failed rescue attempt. I kinda just wanted to try this out, see if I could do it so I could decide if I wanted to pursue it. Let me know whatcha think.
The hornet droids seized Jessie's arms pulling her back up off the ground. She struggled against them but froze when she saw Buzz a few feet away from her. The space ranger was wrapped in tight metal chains- a sign that Zurg wasn't taking any chances of him escaping. The evil emperor himself was standing before Buzz and finishing up what had surely been an epic villain speech. He turned when he saw the robots bring in Jessie.
"Ah, and there she is now," Zurg said, making his way over to the cowgirl. "We've been waiting for you, my dear. So nice of you to show up." Jessie glowered at him as he continued. "Honestly, I'm surprised you were so bold as to think you all could just waltz in here undetected. You're either very brave or very stupid."
"What did you do with our friends?" Jessie spat.
Zurg laughed. "The girl and the sheriff? I think you should be more worried about what I'm going to do to you."
"Leave her alone, Zurg!" Buzz yelled, distracting the villain from Jessie. "It's me you want anyway. Let the others go."
"You always surprise me, Lightyear," Zurg said as he turned around and let out an almost wistful sigh. "By this point I'd figure you, of all people, would understand it's not that simple. Yes, I've captured you, but, like I said earlier, the easiest way to destroy you is by breaking your friends. They're obviously not much of a threat…"
Zurg kep talking, but Jessie wasn't listening to him anymore. She was still working on escaping. If one thing could be said for the fearsome Zurg, he apparently fell pray to the dangerous trap of monologuing fairly easily.
With a swift tug, Jessie managed to wrench her left arm free of the robots hand and pulled away quickly. Using the other robot for support, she jumped up and kicked out at the droid sending it reeling backwards. The other made a grab for her free arm but instead received a swift punch to its metallic face.
Finally free and without thinking, Jessie charged at Zurg. She caught him around the waist, tackling the surprised emperor to the ground. Zurg tried to fight back but Jessie laid into him, punching and attacking every part of him she could hit. All Zurg could do was shout orders of "get her off me you fools" to the still incapacitated hornets. The robots eventually managed to pull themselves together and ripped the enraged cowgirl off of their master.
Jessie fell to the floor, her arms suspended by the Hornets. She looked up in anger only to find herself face to barrel with Zurg's ion blaster. The gun hummed softly, glowing as it built up power. Jessie braced herself, ready to accept the fate she had assured herself. Suddenly the gun was gone and Jessie opened her eyes. Zurg held on to the side of his helmet where she had managed to dent the purple metal with the force of her blow. His glowing smile had grown and worried Jessie more than the blaster to the face. "Seems I've underestimated you," he said, bending down and getting closer to her face. The rest of his words came out in a harsh whisper. "There's no reason I shouldn't just destroy you right now, but what fun would that be." Zurg straightened up and took a few steps away from her before addressing the hornets. "Take her to join her friends while I deal with Lightyear. If he doesn't cooperate, she'll be the first one on the torture rack."
As the droid began to drag the cowgirl away, she locked eyes with Buzz. The look of helplessness on his face broke her heart and she couldn't help but cry out his name as she fought futilely against her captors and was dragged out of the throne room.
