## Transcript

Star Command had been quiet for a while since Livia attended the Academy. Cosmo was enjoying her time as Lieutenant Commander. Much like Burnside, she was giving out orders and checking if everything was in top shape. Buzz was relaxing in his quarter, enjoying the days when there weren't any missions. Cosmo walked down the large hallway and into a large room, with Alisha's statue. She admired it, smiling to herself that maybe this, who she was now, is what Alisha meant.

"Sure hope you're proud, Alisha, cause maybe this is what you meant. But if not, maybe I can still achieve what you expected me to become"

She said, saluting the statue and walking away toward Burnside's office. She opened the door, seeing him stand and salute her.

"Cosmo, I found something from your previous Commander before Alisha"

He said, walking around the desk and handing over a portfolio with CLASSIFIED on the top. She looked at it, seeing her name on it. Perhaps it was old documents that had been recovered. But upon opening it, she couldn't believe her eyes.

"Sir... I don't understand"

She said, looking up at him, confused.

"I know, it's a lot to take in. But know this, you were always a Ranger from the start"

He said, pointing down at the portfolio. Cosmo tried to wrap her head around it.

"So, wait. You're telling me, I was accepted in the Space Ranger Corp"

Burnside shrugged.

"I think he signed it, Alisha saw it, but she put it aside"

Cosmo tried to put two and two together, but always came to a dead end.

"But, now that I know you don't need training, I am having you and Buzz suit up and head back to Morph on a private mission"

Cosmo stared up at him with wide eyes.

"You mean, I get to wear the suit?"

Burnside grinned and nodded, confidently.

"Welcome to the Universe Protection Unit, Commander"

Burnside said as he walked with Cosmo out of his office. Buzz walked into the Launch Bay suited up, wondering what could have come up for him and his team to investigate.

He caught a glimpse of Burnside and jogged over to him.

"Commander, what's going on?"

He asked, seeing him turn and salute him.

"Buzz, you won't believe what I found while looking through old documents"

Buzz thought about what he meant, but couldn't pinpoint what.

"Cosmo was accepted into Space Ranger Corp"

Buzz beamed at the news, happy his sister finally got her time to shine.

"Sir, that's amazing news, where is she?"

Burnside turned and pointed at a figure walking over.

"I'm suited up and ready sir"

Buzz stared at the woman, and saw it was Cosmo.

"Sis, this is historical. We need a photo of this later"

He said, as they climbed into the ship.

"Mission now, selfies later"

She teased, as she flipped switches.

"Well, this mission better be worth it"

Buzz said, as the engines exploded to life. Cosmo's excitement levels were above 100. As they took off up the launch lift and toward the clouds, she couldn't believe this was actually happening. Once they reached up toward the stars, he flipped a few switches and looked over at Cosmo.

"You ready"

He asked, his hands steady on the steering.

"Ready as I'll ever be, Captain Lightyear"

He smiled. Before they blasted off toward their home planet. As they reached Morph and landed, Cosmo immediately felt something was off.

"Buzz, something feels off. I don't remember the planet feeling...empty"

He looked around, then back at her.

"I think everything looks normal to me"

Buzz replied, seeing her shake her head.

"No, something feels really off. Almost as if something really bad happened"

Buzz rolled his eyes and walked over to her.

"Sis, I'm sure those two guards by the bridge are alright"

Cosmo looked at him annoyed.

"No.... I’m being serious. I can't sense our father"

She said, trying to focus.

Buzz rolled his eyes again and looked around. Everything around them looked the same, but if she was sensing something, maybe it was serious.

"Alright, let's go investigate"

He said, walking down the path.

They walked till they reached the bridge. Reaching the other side, they found no guards.

"Okay, I'm going to take your word for it, this is weird"

Buzz said, squinting his eyes.

"Told you. I have good instincts, and if something is wrong...take it seriously next time"

She exclaimed, looking around, hoping maybe the guards were just hiding.

"YOUR HIGHNESS!"

A voice shouted. Cosmo and Buzz turned to see two guards running toward them.

"You are here, thank goodness!"

One of the guards said.

"What's going on, where have you two been. I thought I said to guard the bridge"

Cosmo said, clearly annoyed. The guards looked down, disappointed.

"Something terrible happened, your Highness"

The other guard said. Cosmo and Buzz looked at one another and ran toward the castle, scaling the steps and through the large doors. Cosmo ran into the throne room but stopped, feeling dread fall over her. Buzz was about to pass her when she stopped him.

"Buzz wait"

She said, throwing her arm out in front of him. Seeing the figure, motionless on the ground in front of the throne. She knew that was their father, yet she wanted so hard to think it wasn't. Her eyes began to water, knowing exactly what had happened...someone had gotten to their father...and slain him before they could stop them.

"Buzz..."

She said, before tears fell freely down her cheeks, her sobs being all he could hear. She walked slowly toward her father's body, seeing his sword just inches away from his hand.

"The sword of Morph... He must have fought back"

She choked, wiping tears away. She slowly bent over to pick it up, feeling the leather texture of the handle. The blade was still shiny after not being used for over many decades. Buzz slowly walked over, like a confused and scared child. Seeing this before him was almost like when Alisha passed. He looked over at Cosmo, who was in as much distraught as he was. She walked over to him, wrapping her free arm around his waist, as they mourned their father before reporting the Burnside.
