It had been two days since the last conversation with XR and all Nos could think about was what he said.

Me and freedom vs trap and being a weapon

He will admit it, he is being called that by many other rangers but it does not change one thing.

"I will not go back to Planet Z." He lies back in his coffin and began to pull back into sleep until he hears the beeping and sees he has a call.

"Yes?" he asked tiredly.

"Nos I need your help on this search for the robots."

Nos grumbles but nodded. "I will be there. Over and out." He turns off his comm. and makes his way but a part of him was conflicted now with everything.

'Why did XR have to do that?'

Nos hacks into the system and began opening files to XL and XR and saw the footages played.

"XL and XR, they were defects and destructive. We had to shut them down permanently." Nebula states.

Nos frowns as he looks to XR in particular, seeing the hurt and pain.

"You just assumed they were failures?" Nos asked.

"What do you expect?! They kept failing-"

"If Buzz was to fail more than once, would you fire him?"

"Hey Buzz is nothing like them-"

But Nos flew off with Buzz behind.

"Hey Nos wait up-"

"Why am I here lightyear?" Nos ask.

"Your here because your better than being him." Buzz pats his shoulder. "I know the commander can be…"

"Irrational? Thick headed? A jerk?" Nos asked.

"Mmhmm." Buzz agreed. "Look I know from experience-"

"Really?" Nos was sarcastic. "You? Hero to many planets?"

"I'm being honest, you can even ask Warp if you don't believe me. When I was in the academy, I wanted to quit. I was pressured out but when Zurg attacked, I got my reasons to do good. I became a ranger to help the ones that can't help themselves. Nos you're not a weapon, your my friend and I'll support you no matter what."

Now looks down. "If I were to quit?"

"Well at first I'll argue but it's your choice, I'm not gonna fight you."

"Ooh you can come to my family's farm!"

Nos looks up to Booster and Mira coming. "You may not like bunzl fever but they'll treat you like family!" Booster smiles.

Now was surprised.

"And hey you got a place to stay in Tangea. I'll make sure of it." Mira smiles. "Plus father wants a rematch with you so you know you definitely have a place."

Nos only smiles but hears something coming. They turn to see it was the desk of commander rushing to them.

[The commander was kidnapped!] The desk beeps away and shuffles crazily.

"Who kidnap the Commander?" Nos asked

[A large robot! ····Different parts!]

"XL kidnap the commander." Nos stated.

"Alright team, we better head out and fast." Buzz stated and all head the ship. Nos followed behind but a part of him was conflicted.

He shook his head, he knows it is the right thing.

They travel in through the asteroid, following the GPS track on the commander but just when they were close, it vanished.

"Blast!" Buzz cursed. "Their jamming the frequency."

"Not to worry lightyear," Nos interjected, "I can track XR and XL from here." Nos concentrate deeply and found their location. "There." He pointed to the largest asteroid, "They are inside that incoming asteroid."

"Thanks Nos." Buzz replied and places it on autopilot. "Let's go team."

Inside the asteroid, XL was glaring down and seething to the brim.

"I told you my rangers will come!" Nebula grins.

"Oh we're hoping to that Pops!" XR smirks.

"Yeah we are!" XL smirks but pauses. "We are..?"

XR nodded. "You see pops," he walks up to the commander, his smirk changed to a sinister smile while juggling a melon. "Because of your "robot are useless" racist antiques towards a certain sweet energy vampire, Nosy there would love nothing more than to see you cut up to pieces." He throws it over the junk of bars and it was cut into pieces by the laser over nebula's head. "We get revenge and I get Nos. He'll see why you should be gone."

XL laughs maniacally as XR chuckles away.

The team runs inside the mishap of a large control/lab with piles of parts. For Nos it was uncomforting to see parts like this.

"Welcome light-jerk! And I see you brought your dilly rally team!"

"Let the commander go hunk of junk!" Mira states

"Junk?! JUNK! I'll show you junk!" XL was ready to attack but XR stops him.

"Now now XL, these are guest and what do we do with guests?" XR asks.

"Show them our hospitality?" XL ask.

"Yup! So let's give them our warmest," XR presses a button, "hospitality." Soon the lasers began to come down slowly over Nebula.

Buzz runs first but he was pulled back but the parts.

Booster runs to help Buzz but he was trapped by a huge weight he was stopping from crushing him. Mira was too trapped by a gravitational force she couldn't phase through.

Now was close to the cell of Nebula.

"About time! Hurry up rust bucket!" Nebula shouted.

Nos pauses and for once he was conflicted.

"See Nos," XR wraps an arm around him. "Pops will never accept you. I however will not only accept you, I will love you and worship you. I accept everything and so much more."

Nos looks to him but looks at his friends trapped, fighting to survive. "As much as you are right, you are wrong." Nos grips his hand and threw him to XL. "I have friends that accept me. That is my family." Nos breaks the bars and pulls nebula out. "And I know who I am. I am Nos, a space ranger." He blast the computer and shut off the security.

"Your not the only one with tricks." XR glares and soon connects to the barely working computer. Soon robots and parts began moving but they all fell down.

"And you forget what I am." Nos growls and raises his hands and soon wires burst through the walls and wraps the X brothers up.

"Good job Nos!" Mira smiles along with booster and Buzz.

Nebula grumbles but looks to Nos.

"Look t- Nos. I'm… I'm sorry. You have to understand, I have to be hard-"

"I do not want your apology." Nos stops him. "I understand why you hate me. All I ask is you give me the chance to prove I am a space ranger-"

"And you are!"

Nos pauses and for once was stupefied

"Look, you got the making of a ranger, just give me time to.. Adjust."

Nos was quiet but smiles and salutes. "Thank you commander nebula."

"Now lets get these ex-"

"Commander." Now interjected him.

Nebula grumbles. "Get the X brothers into a cell."

Nos looks at the face of XR as booster and Buzz took them away, a small pang hit his chest.

XR and XL sat in the cell of a ship.

"Look lil bro, you'll find someone better." XL pats his back.

XR was quiet and glares away.

"Heck he is lower than-"

"Watch it! He may have done that but I am not letting you insult him." XR seethe. "You have no idea what I'm feeling."

"I understand XR."

XR stares at the red orange optics, seeing Nos there before their cell. "Came to gloat?" XR looks the other way.

"No."

"Than what are you here for?" XR glares but sees the cell doors open.

"Giving you a free pass but next time you try a stunt like this next time, it is prison." Nos crosses his arms.

"Thank you!" XL shouts and leaves.

XR however stood in front. "Aren't you a little worried."

Nos shook his head. "No I am not. Honestly I do not blame you for wanting revenge." Nos looks to him. "But I could not see you fall for the mistake I almost made. You are not a killer like I was programmed. I could not let you go through with it." Nos crosses his arms.

XR only smiles. "Right. You know for a second back there, you sounded like you like me."

Nos raises a brow and turns a pastel deep blue. "Go before I change my mind."

"Can I get a little kiss before I go? Or do you got something else in mind?" He wriggles his brow.

"You are by far the most vulgar and the biggest pervert I ever met."

"Only for you sexy~" XR grins but he was pulled away by XL and also punched Nos into the cell and makes a huge hole! "Your too much of a cluts!" XL shouted.

Nos wasn't angry, he knew why he did what he did. All he could think of was one thing.

'As if I fall for a pervert like him…' He thought but he couldn't help but smile, just a bit.
