## Transcript

People walked around the base, doing their usual duties. Burnside was in his office, talking to Sentos.

"It's been too long, Cal, the last time we talked was when you had become commander"

He said, seeing Cal nod.

"Agreed. So, what is this whole thing about this Iveus guy?"

Cal asked, Sentos took a breath in, then explained everything.

"Iveus is a powerful being who escaped after Maris locked him away the first time. When we thought we could all live our lived and raise our two kids, he attacked, taking Maris back to his tower, keeping her locked away, unless, he got all 7 crystal stars"

Cal thought about it, knowing it was more serious than he previously thought.

"I'll make sure that Cosmo and Buzz collect them all, keep them out of Iveus's hands"

Cal said confidently.

"Understand, they are all on Earth, they must go back and find them all before he gets to any of them first"

Sentos said, rubbing his forehead.

"Earth? how is blazes would they get back to Earth?"

Cal asked confusedly.

"Cosmo has the crystal star of Morph, she can use portal magic that can create portals that bridge between one location and another"

Cal's eyes widened.

"She…has powers. Did Alisha know about this?"

He asked, seeing Sentos shake his head.

"Sadly, I don't have an answer for that, old friend"

Sentos said, seeing Cal quickly contemplate, then her got a plan.

"Alright, well, I'll send them your way, let me talk to them first"

Cal said, Sentos, nodding, both ending the call. Cosmo and Buzz were in his room, talking about the box.

"There has to be a way to open it"

She said, walking back and forth.

"In time, Cosmo, we will open it when the time comes"

He replied, hearing her groan and slam her hands on the table.

"But I want to open it now. What if it's important to our mission"

She exclaimed, before a knock came at the door. She walked over and opened it, seeing two ZAP patrol members.

"Lightyear, Burnside would like to talk to you"

One of them said. Cosmo nodded and walked out, down the hallway. Upon reaching his office and walking in, Burnside greeted her.

"Lightyear, we have a few things to discuss"

He said, leaning on the desk.

"Yes sir?

She replied, saluting him, then bringing her arms back to her sides.

"I talked to your father"

He began, seeing her eyes widening.

"And?"

She asked, hoping it was good news.

"You have powers, am I Correct?"

He asked, seeing her nod.

"Show me"

Cal said, seeing her oblige and create a bright blue orb, making him nearly jump back in surprise.

"I have to ask what were you here to achieve, Lightyear?"

He asked, seeing her make the orb disappear.

'Become a Space Ranger, sir"

Cal's eyes widened for a second before closing his eyes, smiling to himself.

"Why didn't you become one?"

He asked again.

"Alisha didn't see me as Space Ranger material, sir"

She said, seeing him shake his head in disbelief.

"Looking at your track record, you should be. You were in the military for 3 years before transferring to Star Command, keeping your position as Captain. You earned badges and medals, I'm impressed"

He said with a smile. Cosmo returned the smile and bowed.

"You are one of the toughest solders I have ever seen, it makes zero sense why she didn't make you a Ranger"

He added, walking up to her.

"That changes today. I'm putting you in the Space Ranger Corp and making you my new Lieutenant Commander"

Cosmo grinned ear to ear hearing those words. She saluted him, excited to get to work.

"Thank you, sir. I won't let you down"

She said, feeling a surge of energy run through her veins.

Cal chuckled, holding his stomach.

"You, fail me, I highly doubt that. You came this far, get out there and achieve that dream of being a Space Ranger"

Cal said, pointing to the door.

"Buzz will teach you the ropes, you are officially on his team"

He added, seeing her cheer, which didn't faze him.

"I'm honored being your Commander, sir"

She said, saluting him again, before turning to walk out, before he called out to her.

"Your mission is to check out Morph and see if there are any survivors"

He said, seeing her nod and walk out of the office.

She ran toward the living quarters and back into his room, where he sat at the table in the kitchen eating lunch.

"Bro, you aren't going to believe this"

She exclaimed, seeing him look at her, still chewing his food.

"Hmm?"

Was all he said, before turning back to his food.

"I'll let you swallow, no rush"

She said. seeing him nod and chew his food, before swallowing.

"Alright, what's up, what did Burnside want"

Buzz asked, seeing her smile widely before explaining.

"So, he talked to our dad, I'll start with that"

She said, seeing him stare widely at her.

"And, what did he say?"

He asked, curiously.

"Well, Burnside wanted to know about my powers, so there is that"

She replied, staring down at the floor.

"The big thing, however… Is… I am a Space Ranger now!"

She squealed, Buzz jumping out of his chair, hugging her, spinning her around.

"Sis, that's amazing, you're going to be out there with me, no more being on the sideline, right?"

Buzz asked, seeing her nod.

"Yeah. He also gave us a mission, so let's get suited up and get going"

She said, reaching for the handle before he spoke up.

"Wait, what about the others?"

He asked, seeing her turn around.

"Private mission, now come on"

She said, walking out of his room and down the hallway, he close in tow. They suited up and got into the ship, taking off to their home planet. Morph seemed like another earth from up in space, but changed into this extraterrestrial world when down on the ground. When they landed near the castle, guards greeted them.

"My lady, my Lord, you both have returned"

One guard said.

"Yes, we came to talk to our father. Escort us"

Cosmo said, the men nodding and guiding them into the castle. Entering the throne room, Sentos stood, seeing his children enter through the threshold.

"Cosmo, Buzz, you came back"

Sentos said, walking off the steps to embrace them.

"Father, we need to talk to you"

Sentos nodded, leading them down a hallway. They walked for a while before entering a room that looked familiar to the archives.

"This book contains the entire story. Hopefully when you two understand, you two will find a way to free your mother"

Sentos explained, leaving the room. Buzz and Cosmo stared down at the book before Cosmo opened up to the first page.

*"Entry 1"*

Date: 47 AD

"We arrived on the shores of this island, bringing down whatever we had on board our ship. We had traveled seven long days, through rain and wind, making it safely to shore. After everything we lost, we thought that, since we found new land, we could begin rebuilding and making this island our new kingdom. Eventually, we would have to go out hunting for food, as our rations would only last us a few days. But that didn't matter, these people had me to help them. Hopefully, we make it through the night."

"47 AD, that was…"

Cosmo and Buzz stared at the date, then at each other.

"2,000 years ago"

He said.

"Which would mean, our mother is immortal, also answers how I never aged"

She explained, grinning to herself.

Buzz thought about it. She had a valid point. She hadn't aged from all the times he went up into space.

"So, that means, our mother lived through history, just on our home planet"

Buzz said, looking down again at the page. She turned the page, seeing the next entry.

*"Entry 2"*

Date: 47 AD

"We got through the night, some of my men went and caught a few animals, we didn't want to kill them, but our survival was key. We began chopping trees with our tools and began building houses. People will stay warm during the cold winters and stay dry from the wet rain. The children are keeping occupied, it isn't bothering them that they are here. They probably see this as their new home. I have been watching over our new land, seeing the evolution take effect. Soon, we will have paths paved, farms planted. Time will tell, but not right now"

"Mother must have really tried keeping our people alive, they had to kill to eat, to feed the children. They weren't even fazed about what little they had"

Cosmo explained.

"Yeah, they were working to survive. Our mother was doing all she could"

Buzz replied. Cosmo closed the book and held it in her arms.

"We should talk to father, I need more information about these powers of mine.

Buzz nodded and followed her back to the throne room, where their father sat.

"Father?"

Cosmo asked, seeing him turn his head.

"Yes, my starlight?"

Sentos replied, seeing her walk up the steps, carrying the book in her arms.

"Tell me, why exactly do I have powers?"

Cosmo asked, seeing him sigh.

"Your mother is a powerful being. She was a part of a legion called, the Star Guardians. They were strong woman who protected the Galaxy"

He began, Cosmo staring in awe.

"Your mother possessed that exact crystal star that you have, however, after Iveus attacked, she handed it and the scepter of morph down to you"

Cosmo thought, and it clicked in her head.

"Wait, you mean the box?"

She asked, seeing her father's face light up.

"Yes, it contains the scepter of our kingdom"

Sentos explained. Cosmo held her hands out, the box appearing, which mad her father stare at it in awe.

"Open it, my dear, accept your destiny"

He said, seeing her open it, revealing a scepter with a gray handle, blue wings on the round part. The blue crystal star appeared, placing itself on the round part, a bright glow emitting from it.

"Using the scepter advances your attacks, making you stronger"

Sentos said, pointing to the scepter.

"Awesome, I'm going to free mother from Iveus in no time"

Cosmo said, confidently.

"In time, right now, it's important you learn about your abilities and your mother's life story"

Sentos said, seeing his daughter nod.

Suddenly, a dark fog filled the room, making Buzz act on queue, getting in from of Cosmo and his father.

"Aw, what a cute family reunion, it's just a shame it had to be cut short"

A voice bellowed.

'You must be the daughter I have been trying to look for. You came back to make it easier to find you and take that star from you!"

The voice added, revealing a man, his black hair and purple eyes being all she could see.

"You have made it easier for me to capture you, daughter of Maris!"

He said triumphantly, the fog disappearing.

"You two must leave, I don't want any of you getting hurt by fighting him"

Their father demanded.

"But-"

Cosmo began, but was cut off by him.

"He will expect you to be here, you have to leave. Get back to Cal and warn him about Iveus invading"

He said, ushering them out of the Throne room.

"Please, I will fight him off"

He said, grabbing his sword.

"Alright, but please be careful"

Cosmo said worryingly, her father nodding.

"I will find you when I deal with him"

He said, Buzz grabbing her hand, running back to their ship. They got to the ship and took off back to T'Kani Prime to warn Star Command.

When they got back to Star Command, they quickly climbed out and demanded everyone stay inside. They jogged to Burnside's office, walking in, which was out of the blue.

"What's going on?"

He asked. Seeing the worry on their faces.

"Iveus, is going to attack my kingdom, and he might attack Star Command next"

Cal furrowed his brows, thinking his worst fear became a reality.

"Alright, well, you two need to get out of here and stay undercover. I can't risk having Star Command destroyed because of something he wants"

He said, walking out of the office, Cosmo and Buzz close behind.

"He can't penetrate the laser shield, unless he finds a way to get in underground"

He said confidently, Buzz and Cosmo shrugging.

"It is best if you two go back to earth till it's safe to come back, maybe fulfil your father's mission of finding all the crystal stars"

He explained, turning to look at them.

"Wait, there are others out there?"

Cosmo asked, seeing him nod.

"If your father comes here, I will stand my ground and protect him with my life"

He said, shoeing them out of the room.

"Go, grab your stuff and get out of here, save yourselves"

He said, running out of the room and out of sight.

"Come on, let's get to it"

Buzz demanded, but Cosmo stood there.

"I am NOT leaving Izzy behind, she comes with us. If Mo and Darby join us, then fine, but I ain't leaving her behind"

She demanded, walking out of the room toward Izzy's sleeping quarters. She knocked on the door, waiting for the door to open, until finally, it did. She squeezed herself in, embracing Izzy.

"Hey, babe, we have to go. Pack your stuff and let's go"

Cosmo said, snapping her fingers, a dufflebag appearing.

"Whoa, what's going on, why are you shoving me out of my room all of a sudden?"

Izzy questioned, but Cosmo didn't answer, grabbing her stuff and shoving it in the bag.

"I'll explain everything when we are on earth, okay?"

She said, throwing a few more things in, then zipping it.

Cosmo guided her out of her room and down toward her and her brother's, where they gathered their stuff, Sox, and then went out to board the ship.

"Alright, let's get out of here"

Cosmo said, hearing commotion around her all of a sudden. Buzz looked and saw the same black fog, which was their cue to get out of dodge. He climbed into the driver's seat and started the ship. The laser shield had been breached, everyone gearing up, ready for a fight. They lifted into the air, seeing all the commotion down below getting worse as the seconds rolled by.

"Thank goodness we got out of there at the right time, am I right?"

Buzz asked, seeing Cosmo nodding.

"I'm still confused"

Izzy said, looking out the window, seeing Star Command become farther away. Returning to earth felt, weird. Almost as if it were another 60 years. Cosmo got out and assisted Izzy out of the ship, confusion still on her face.

"Alright, let me start from the beginning. So, I found out I am a princess from a kingdom on another planet, my mother is being held captive by some Iveus dude, and now we are back on earth because Star Command is being invaded by him and whoever he has working for him"

Cosmo said, taking in breaths. Izzy stared at her, amazed by her unleashing all that information out in one breath.

"Now we need to find 7 crystal stars, so to defeat Iveus"

Buzz added, carrying all the bags out of the ship and putting them in the truck.

"Izzy, there is so much I wanna share with you on earth, you're going to love it"

Cosmo said, taking her hands.

"I thought since we're here on earth, we could move forward with our lives"

She added, admiring the sparkle in her brown eyes.

"I would love that"

Izzy said, smiling warmly.

"Well, in that case, will you be my girlfriend?"

Cosmo said, getting down on one knee. Izzy chuckled to herself and nodded. Cosmo smiled and got up, hugging her tightly.

"I love you, Izzy"

Cosmo said. Izzy felt her heart stop, almost as if she pressed a pause button. She pulled back, their eyes meeting.

"I love you too, Cosmo"

She said, the two sharing a kiss before walking to the truck.
