I do not own Taz/Up/Space-Claw; They Belong to Starkid :D

A/N: Sorry its so small :C

Taz woke up to the strong smell of cleaning fluid. As her eyes dragged open, she could tell she was in the main Hub of the G.L.E.E, and that somewhere down a corridor was the Academy. As Taz slowly tried to sit up, she felt nothing of her lower body.

Oh dead god.

"I've lost my legs." Taz cried aloud.

"What?" a voice beside her asked. Taz twisted her head to see Up sitting on a chair, half asleep and staring at her.

"What happened after the r-robot fell. I don't remember anything after that."

Up's face fell.

"Well... after the robot fell... Zafina passed out and you threw up. We got everyone out from upstairs and two other Ensigns died and couple got injured. Somehow at the end you had carried Zafina out, but then she was taken by a medic and you passed out."

There was a pause.

"Where is she...?"

"She's been granted a civillian status here at the academy; Space-Claw is waiting for you to wake up, but Kit won't even let him in to this ward."

"Why can't I feel my legs?" Taz moaned again. Up pulled her blanket down slightly and Taz saw a white belt across her hips securing her to the bed.

"Kit doesnt want you to move to much." Up shrugged.

"I agree, you need to get better, Lietenant." a voice from the curtain agreed. Dr Space-Claw stood there.

"What did jou call me...?" Taz looked at Space-Claw.

"She's got a promotion?" Up asked.

"Your Right Commander."

"But jou dont promote rookies..."

"Special exception."

"What?" Taz echoed. Space-Claw handed each a badge and Saluted. Up saluted in return and Taz raised her hand to her head from the bed.

"We're...we're.." Up began. Taz noddd and grinned.

The next month passed with Taz training daily and recovering extreemely fast to get to standard. All of her time was either spent in the hospital or in the gym.

Except for the last day.

Jasper's memorial.

There wern't many attendants, all of the Squadron and the family/earth friends of Jasper. Taz saw that not many people had come for the small service from earth; a couple who were presumably his parents and a group of seven kids their age, friends from earth. Taz sat within the quadron group, between Up and stocky blond ensign. Freya, George, Saki and a few other of their classmates stood at the back. They had none of Jasper's remains, so all they could do was talk about him. At the end, the only thing recovered from him and handed to his parents were his Zapper and Dog tags.

"Commander." an ensign appeared and handed Up a list over diner that night. His next mission was an exploration to a planet with his new Squadron, and new lietenant. Taz smiled as she received a letter from the same ensign informing her to collect equiptent from the depot the next morning. When that time did come, she was suprised to see the equiptment the next day. As she was handed the pack from the attendant, she could feel the wool. After closer examination, she saw that each peice of clothing was lined with fur. As she picked it up, she looked at the squadron. She recognized nobody. Well, except Up who walked in twenty seconds after she scanned the room. She silently padded to the pod and sat down.

"All right, boys and girls." Up began to adress them in the pod. There was 8 of them in total. " We shall be an exploration pod to the planet that we have nicknamed Helgron. It can reach -200 in the daytime. Your clothes are lined with animal fur and you are expected to wear them while on the planet. We are one of twelve groups exporing seven planets, and we'll reach the station in eight hours. I want you all to be on your toes, what ever might happen, you need to remember that we are all in this war together. If we can find rescources, we might just win the war by searching Helgron." Up looked at them. "The fate of the war could be in your hands."

Taz stood in her extreemly cramped room. It was a 6X6 box, with only a bunk bed with a wardrobe underneath and a small toilet with a sliding door for privacy. It was so small, she could hardly stand. Therefore she would have to slip into the wardrobe to change each day. Everything in the station was small. 150 rangers were crowding into the space station; it was built to hold 40, but as they had hardly any reascourses now from the robots, they had to make do. Taz sliped out of the door quietly. She was in her pajamas, shorts and a thin tank top. Staring out of the window, she saw the 7 moons that they were exploring. Helgron was in the middle, and the largest. They orbited a large red planet in a line, seven blue balls. Could they really hold the reasources needed to win the war?
