An idea that's been on my mind for a while.
A AU where Buzz Lightyear is born female, going by the name: Bianca Lightyear.
Now I'm going to be honest with you guys, I only know Buzz Lightyear of star command the adventure begins, and I've only seen a few episodes of the show that came after, I will get to watching the rest of the show on my own time as my memories of seeing this show when I was younger are vague at best.
Forgive me if I might mess up somewhere.
Anyways, this is a type of Beauty and the Beast story that I've been itching to make.
I know, I got enough on my plate as it is, I'm a story starter, please don't sue me.
Please enjoy!
PLANET Z
To say nobody wanted to disturb their evil emperor AT ALL COST unless it was REALLY IMPORTANT would be a lousy understatement for them.
Knowing he had a bad temper, he hated undesirable news that he didn't want.
They always desperately hope that they can get any kind of good news that they can give him so that his outburst wouldn't be as bad.
They all knew this the hard way so many times that even the smartest of them have long since lost track of how many times it's happened. Even when they weren't the ones to provoke him, his temper wasn't something to laugh about.
However... there was something that's been bothering them Lately, mainly due to his attitude as of late.
The Evil Emperor Zurg, sworn enemy of the Galactic Alliance... had been disturbing quiet, unnervingly so even.
Not even a failed attempt to get a "partnership" With Planet Fyxgudugig got him angry, no he instead just simply waved it off and said he'd try again another time, saying he had other matters on his mind.
That greatly shocked everyone.
So much so that some of his minions actually fainted from that, and the fact that he didn't even bat an eyelash at that only made more faint or briefly questioned if they were finally losing their marbles from being his abused underlings for years.
Something was definitely up, what that was they didn't know... or so they believe as only one of them could wagger a guest to their masters odd behavior.
Although he wisely kept it to himself.
Deducing that he started acting odd when he and Zurg had disguised themselves to infiltrate a party that the space rangers were attending, the rangers themselves were incognito for a mission to apprehend a rather slippery criminal who was a wealthy entrepreneur on the outside but is a dangerous weapons dealer in the shadows.
They had forgotten his name at that point but later on though he did give the rangers quite the fight before he was arrested.
For he and his boss, they were mainly there for spying, that instead of sending a drone they decided to check it out themselves, just to change things up as the whole spy orb drone shtick was getting rather tedious.
Team Lightyear and Commander Nebula was a part of the group that would be infiltrating the party so they could take the man into custody and protect a close friend of the commander who happened to be the criminal's primary target.
And according to their resources, all them were coming in disguises, disguises that would make them look like completely different people so nobody would suspect anything, funny how they themselves also went in incognito too, although to be fairly honest Zurgs disguise although made him look handsome and distinguished it made him look ridiculous with the giant afro and mustache.
Although The big red guy and little robot were easy to recognize, the Tangien woman and Commander did look very different as it took them a good long while to tell that it was them.
And Zurg was trying desperately not to laugh at the commanders mustache and beard combo over his actual mustache as it made him look very ridiculous.
As for Bianca Lightyear, The Emperor's sworn nemesis, also better known as Bia Lightyear... not only did her disguise make her barely recognizable, but it most certainly turned a lot of heads, and if they were being honest, in an unexpected way.
And that was just putting it mildly as the disguise in question was... shocking yet absolutely breathtaking.
It stunned the emperor so much that he didn't even realize that he had already dropped his glass along with several other males in the room, his jaw too was hanging open like several others, absolutely nobody could take their eyes off of her, and he's pretty sure that the guy was pretty close to fainting like several men had when she was forced to sing on stage due to unexpected circumstances behind the scenes.
Because, And he was being very genuine about it, her singing was absolutely phenomenal, it was a wonder how she hadn't become a singer instead of a ranger, or at the very least thought to take it up as a side hobby, or perhaps maybe did it as a side gig.
The only thing that snapped everyone out of it was their target in question had actually become distracted from this long enough for the rangers to be able to get the jump on him, Fighting for a good while before eventually managing to slap the handcuffs on him and make sure that he hadn't set any traps or anything fishy that would cause harm to the civilians attending the party and said party thankfully was able to keep on going without another hitch after everything was explained, said and done.
None of the rangers even noticed Zurg and one of his brains in a jar henchman (The one making the deduction in question) stealthily leaving the party without being spotted.
This all happened a month ago, And slowly but surely he became a little more quiet like he had more things on his mind than what they had expected of him.
Sure he was still evil but slowly but surely he did less scheming and more daydreaming, or rather become more lost in thought.
And if it weren't already obvious, it had something to do with his arch nemesis.
Whatever was going on, they can only hope that none of this would blow up in their faces later, And for now just take in this unusually rare moment of quiet that they could afford right now and not worry about having an anxiety attack because of their evil emperor.
You wouldn't think that one lone space ranger, let alone that being his arch nemesis, would be the very person that would be on his mind most of the time since the start of this month, but not in a "I hate her and I will have my revenge on her" sort of way.
But in a way he really could not describe.
Ever since that party he couldn't get his mind off of her, It seemed that even spying on her through this month wasn't making things better.
If anything it only made his black heart beat the more he thought about her, the more little things he noticed about her, the more interested he became, but it also meant the more confusion he started to feel too.
He knew it started from that party.
No matter what he couldn't forget what he saw.
Bianca Lightyear, Bia Lightyear, his sworn arch nemesis, The captain of team Lightyear, a member of star command, The biggest pain in his organic metal butt that he ever knew...
... Had looked absolutely beautiful...
He would have thought that she would have gone with some kind of ridiculous disguise that didn't suit her, but no he was proving wrong.
Instead of some kind of feminine suit, She instead came in something that emphasized her, not noticeable until right then and there, physical beauty that almost seemed to express the purity in her heart.
Her royal blue hair combed into a small low bun, her dark brown near black eyes as well as her light tan skin being emphasize by her dress which was a light blue turtleneck sleeveless dress with the skirt part being loose fitting enough that it was flattering that reached down to her shins, a white pearl necklace, an even paler blue Opera gloves, white pearled earrings, a simple pale blue hair band on her head and pale blue flats with 3 pearls at the front, showing that despite her age her feet were actually rather small, slightly smaller than that of the normal adult woman (And mind you it was rather hard to tell her actual shoe size given the usual start command uniform she wears), as the outfit as a whole really showed off how physically fit she was outside of uniform as while she wasn't overly muscular, she nonetheless had a really fit body that would put any female bodybuilder who worked in track and swimming to shame.
To say he was alarmed by her beauty would be an understatement as it was almost as if he were in a trance as he just could not keep his eyes off of her, he didn't even acknowledge that he had accidentally dropped his glass due to being stunned so thoroughly, He wasn't even paying attention to how the other guests were reacting to her appearance as the more he stared at her The more he felt this odd feeling in his chest, but due to his state he wasn't able to actually notice that.
In her uniform he had acknowledged, In his mind, that her face did look kind of cute, but in that lovely outfit? It went from cute to being absolutely stunning.
Her dress seemed to shimmer whenever she moved around, The uncertainty and awkwardness on her face was foreign and yet at the same time kind of endearing.
Even when in disguise She still held herself in a posture that matched her usual commander persona, But that mix with her dress apparel only made her look more like a princess than a space ranger, let alone the commander of a team from Star Command.
He felt his breath being taken away upon seeing her blush when she was asked by several men to dance with them only to politely turn them down every single time.
And do not even get him started on her singing.
Apparently one of the singers that were supposed to come had suddenly fallen ill and so they were one act short, so under short notice and in the heat of the moment the stage host picked a random lady from the crowd to sing on stage, which just so happened to be Bianca, much to her shock.
He felt his heart shutter upon seeing her pale a bit when she was chosen to sing, her blush only getting worse before she reluctantly but quickly made her way towards the stage.
When she started to sing however, the paleness and the blushing quickly faded.
And the song she sang was just... beautiful, the sound of her voice singing echoed throughout the ballroom, a voice still lingers in his mind whenever he thinks about it, practically a plague in his mind in his sleep when he goes to bed at night, so clear and so perfect, so alluring that He actually forgot where he was or what he was even doing.
He could still recite the words in his mind as if he had known those words all his life:
Time to say goodbye (Acoustic) (Music by Jeff Williams; feat. Casey Lee Williams)
There's a point where it tips
There's a point where it breaks
There's a point where it bends
And a point we just can't take
Anymore
There's a line that we'll cross
And there's no return
There's a time and a place
No bridges left to burn
Anymore
We can't just wait
With lives at stake
Until they think we're ready
Our enemies are gathering
The storm is growing deadly
Now it's time to say goodbye
To the things we lovedAnd the innocence of youth
How the time seemed to fly
From our carefree lives
And the solitude and peace we always knew
There's a day when we will fight
And we're not gonna fall
There's a day when we will stand
And a day when we won't crawl
Anymore
There's a moment in time
And there's no going back
When we're pushed too hard
And we won't hold our attack
Anymore
We can't just cling to childish things
As evil just grows closer
Humanity's in jeopardy
This fight is far from over
Now it's time to say goodbye
To the things we loved
And the innocence of youth
With a doubt in our minds
Why we chose this life
And at times we can't help wondering
Were we born to fight and die?
Sacrificed for one huge lie?
Are we heroes keeping peace?
Or are we weapons pointed at the enemy
So someone else can claim a victory?
Now it's time to say goodbye
To the things we loved
And the innocence of youth
How the time seemed to fly
From our carefree lives
And the solitude and peace we always knew
Everyone, Yes even himself, was clapping at the end of it, some even whistling, cheering for her to give an encore performance, several of the men yes even himself had thrown roses at her, he felt his breath caught once more when he saw that she had caught the rose that he had thrown (Which was a simple ruby red one from a vase right next to him).
He almost fainted when he saw her give a gentle smile before bowing a royal-like curtsy.
And he probably would have really done that if Commander Nebula hadn't signaled for the rangers to attack then and there.
Even in a dress Bianca was still able to fight, he was also stunned to see that the gloves were more than just gloves but apparently modified start command gloves to make them look like fancy gloves to wear to a party but they had the capacity to fire the classic laser from the wrist.
He was still pretty stunned that her dress hadn't been ruined through all that fighting, and still looked pretty pristine even after the criminal was arrested.
Who says you can't fight in a dress and still keep it in one piece through it all?
There was no more reason for him or his henchman to be there once everything was starting to go back to normal, knowing that if he stays longer then things might become suspicious, and the both of them were able to carefully and stealthily make their exit without being noticed.
Besides he wasn't exactly involved in any of that, no evil scheme this time so there's no reason for him to stay any longer than he already had.
But ever since that day he'd seen the meddlesome lady in a different light.
Even started to spying on her more frequently when she was outside of star command as their systems were too advanced for him to be able to try and sneak a drone in there to do the initial spying from within.
Usually when it comes to missions, and rarely when it comes to vacationing leisure.
He began to notice a couple of things, nothing that could help give him an advantage but just noticing a few things.
Like the fact that she was actually ticklish in a few areas, That she had a thing for cats, that she loved cosmic chili, and recently especially with potatoes, shredded cheese and corn chips, that she enjoyed long calm leisurely rides across the Galaxy before a mission every other Sunday, That she was more of a tomboy even though she did not hate dresses she preferred to wear pants more than skirts, blouses and dresses unless it were a certain occasion such as for a secret undercover mission that needed to be very foolproof, that when she was outside of her normal ranger uniform She wears clothes that match similarly to her own uniform and she always kept her emergency gloves on her in case something came up (Which was a pretty smart tactic), She actually used to be kind of brash, quick tempered and cocky back in her early training days before she became a commander and before she eventually matured, She liked Blue Glow Bloom Flowers because not only were they iridescently beautiful but in her eyes they looked uniformly romantic in an office space (And apparently to his surprise her late parents actually had those decorating their wedding many years ago) and blue roses because they were her mothers and grandmother's favorite, to name a few.
And before you ask, no he refused to ask Warp Darkmatter, For two main reasons really, first was that he was on vacation because he demanded a break after going 3 months of non-stop work with barely a break and he needed to relax his joints or they were going to snap on him, and second was The Evil emperor himself wanted some alone time away from his main henchman and from his minions.
Funny enough, The thing they both had in common was that one of their hobbies included looking up information on the other and finding any potential weaknesses, It was equal parts understandable given their respective occupations and rather humorous as he couldn't help but chuckle at that.
The other thing that seemed humorous and at the same time baffling to him was that despite being beautiful she never ever used it to take advantage of people (That part he can at least attribute to morals), never flaunt it, never boast about it (attributing that to humbleness), nor did she even notice how beautiful she actually was as she seemed to be completely oblivious to how some of the male rangers and even other people of the male gender from other planets seem to look at her in a way that would make them look like love sick fools. When she did notice this she felt either awkward or out of place from them looking at her in that way as she had no idea why they were staring at her in that manner, sometimes it even unnerved her.
(And he thought his late elder brother was too thick headed to notice all the stares all the ladies gave him, This girl however takes the cake.)
Still he, For the life of him, couldn't help but wonder what it was like to actually try and interact with her without there being any form of animosity between them, without all the threats and the punches, without the witty banter and defiance, without practically trying to ensnare the other in one way or another, without the clear fact that one was on the side of good and one was on the side of evil... And instead just talk like normal people, actually getting to know the other, mingling around, laughing at a good joke, smiling without feeling disgusted...
And for the upteenth time in however long it's been as he gave up keeping track ages ago, he slapped himself in thinking something so... menially trivial and weak minded...
He felt disgusted that he couldn't feel disgusted at those thoughts, he felt like he was going completely insane. Vehemently reminding himself that they were enemies. That he shouldn't think of stuff like that.
Yet no matter how much tried, his defiance continued struggling, he was almost half tempted to have a heart removal transplant and get a metallic one... only to remember that for his specific species that would not bold well and he would not live long as what happened to his great uncle Zergio (He wasn't looking to put himself in his grave anytime soon).
Call him what you will but he wasn't that delusionally suicidal in that case.
In fact Nana Zurg made sure to beat that into his head so he wouldn't get any funny ideas like that.
And before you ask again, let it be known that despite looking metallic, he was in fact organic, his species is what's known as being described as organically mechanical, techno organic, biological tech, whichever you think works best.
Honestly he could not help but wonder what Lightyear was doing right now, probably sleeping like he should be right now.
And really he should be sleeping, because if he doesn't get enough sleep he tends to be very grumpy in the morning, and he's well aware that his minions were more timid whenever he doesn't get his full night in a rest.
Soon enough he closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep, eventually doing so after a few minutes... only to be met with another dream of Lightyear a while later as he was helpless to stop it.
