Act I: Star Command

**Act I** is the first Act in INFINITY: Lightyear Mysteries.

## Transcript

Morph had seen everything flash by so quickly. Their Queen and King had announced their son's birth, then their kingdom was attacked by Iveus, lastly, their king was brutally assassinated. The town looked on as kingdom guards tried calming down those who thought this was the tribe making their mark after 2000 years of peace. Cosmo and Buzz had returned to Star Command under Burnside's request. ZAP guards stood outside his door, watching those who walked past.

"Buzz, what are we going to do?"

Cosmo asked weakly. Buzz sighed, rubbing his neck.

"I have no idea...we sit tight here till Burnside gives us our next mission"

He explained, looking over at the window. SOX jumped up on the table, rubbing his body against Cosmo's chest. Cosmo rubbed her hand over his back, before he rubbed into her chest again before laying in front of her.

"I'm sure you two will figure out something"

He said, blinking his big green eyes. Cosmo picked him up and hugging him softly, his purrs easing her emotions.

"I wish it was that easy, buddy"

She said. SOX looked over at Buzz, who was still looking out the window.

"Will Buzz be okay?"

SOX asked, blinking again. Cosmo looked down at the feline and tilted her head, before looking up at Buzz.

"I'm sure he will be okay. He and I are still shaken up"

She said, scratching his head, his purrs becoming louder. Buzz sighed and stood up, walking over into the kitchen to have dinner. Cosmo looked over, before getting up and walking over, seeing him just begin digging into it.

"We can't just sit here, we need a plan"

Cosmo said, seeing him nod.

"I know, but I ain't going to go through that again"

He explained, seeing her nervously scratch her head. Suddenly, like on queue, a knock came from his door. Cosmo walked over, expecting the ZAP solders may have found something they overlooked. Opening the door, their mother stood there, a sombre look on her face.

"My starlight, am I disturbing you two in your mourning process?"

Their mother asked. Cosmo shook her head fast, her mother smiling slightly before cupping her daughter's face.

"Alright, well I would like to talk to you two"

She said, walking into her son's quarters, seeing him eating. Buzz looked up for a second before realizing it was his mother. He walked over and bowed at her.

"My children, I know your father's assassination has left a hollow hole in our hearts, but now an opportunity has made itself known to you both"

They stared at her questionably.

"Mother, what exactly do you mean"

Cosmo asked. Her mother waved her hand, a blue seat appearing as she sat down.

"Your father has an entire life story. He started from where you two called home, and was a hero to all"

Cosmo and Buzz, clearly amazed by their father's feats, didn't know their father was well known to be called a hero.

"Our father was a hero? Like, a Ranger?"

Maris nodded, Cosmo's smile widening as she cupped her cheeks.

"Buzz, you know what that means?"

She said, seeing him shrug.

"Our father is from Earth"

Maris smiled, seeing Buzz take in every word.

"No... I can't believe that one bit"

Buzz said, crossing his arms. His mother shook her head before explaining further.

"Your father lived on earth before joining Star Command on a history-changing mission. Humans would be the first species to travel deep space and colonize a planet"

Buzz knew what planet she was talking about.

"T'Kani Prime?"

He asked, seeing her nod.

"Your father was the first. He served beside Alisha. However, upon sending you two into the past, you replaced your father, you and Alisha would build that exact relationship they had"

Buzz understood his parent's sacrifice, even Alisha's. They gave up everything, to make things right, so did he.

"You both must go back to earth and uncover your father's past. It's the only way for you two to clearly understand your places in this world and as royalty, to Morph"

They nodded, understanding her every word.

"But wait, what about Burnside?"

Buzz asked, seeing her lift her hand.

"He is giving you clearance, knowing this is my mission for you, not his"

Cosmo thought about what it would be back on earth after their last time there. Maybe if they stay long enough, she might uncover more about Alisha she never knew until all had been explained.

"Alright. Let's do this"

Cosmo said, confidently. Buzz nodded before they hugged their mother, who held her children tight before letting them go. They ran down the hallway toward the front of their building before jumping in her truck, driving toward Star Command. Arriving, they walked to get themselves suited up and into the ship that would take them back to earth.

"Alright you two, I don't know exactly when you two will be back, but we here hope you two-"

Burnside began, before Buzz cut him off.

"Finish the mission, got it"

Burnside smiled to himself. He was indeed like his father, something that he couldn't help but be proud of.

"Yes, finish the mission. Make sure whatever you find is brought back"

Burnside replied.

"You can count on us"

Buzz said, before the two climbed in the two front seats. Cosmo, who had ridden the ship the two times, knew what she had to do, specially as his co-captain.

"Everything look good?"

He asked, looking over at her. She smiled and nodded, before flipping a switch.

"Everything good here, captain"

She replied, a smile appearing on his face.

"Alright, ready for take off"

Buzz said, as the engine roared to life. Cosmo was filled with adrenaline as they shot off toward the stars. As they reached up into space, IVAN beamed to Life. But before she could speak, Cosmo took it out and put in another device, different to IVAN.

Astro, activate"

Cosmo demanded as the device made a beep and a voice came through.

"Commander Lightyear, how can I assist you?"

It asked.

"We need en route back to earth, what is your suggestion?"

Cosmo asked. A hologram popped up and showed a simulation.

"Well, as you are 4.2 million light-years away from earth, it will take 15 minutes via hyperspeed to reach earth. However, with the new portal technology created by the science crew, you will reach earth in 1 minute"

She explained.

"So, this isn't hyperspeed we're dealing with?"

Buzz asked curiously.

"Yes. Burnside wanted to put portal technology to the test in this cool new ship he had built specifically for it. With my portal magic, we could travel all of the galaxy with just one snap of my fingers"

Cosmo explained, Buzz clearly amazed.

"So how will this work?"

He asked once more.

"The way it works is simple, fly through the portal and arrive at earth"

Astro explained, a hologram showing a ship flying through a ring. Cosmo nodded and flipped a few switches and pressed 2 buttons.

"Alright, take her up to 15, Buzz"

She demanded, Buzz doing as told, thrusting the acceleration at 15, the ship taking off away from the planet. As they gained speed, Cosmo demanded him again.

"30 Buzz!"

She shouted, he once more doing as told, the ship starting to warp the stars around them.

"Speed Boosters 80 percent"

Astro stated, making Cosmo grin to herself.

"Cosmo, are you sure about this!?"

Buzz asked, his hands still gripping the steering stick.

"Yes, Burnside already had me test it, so it's alright"

Buzz jerked his head to her, shocked at her response. He was about to scold her, but Astro interrupted.

"Speed Boosters 100 percent"

Astro stated before Buzz pressed the button, the ship taking off through deep space. They sped through space, travelling below hyperspeed, but beyond the speed of sound. Cosmo watched as their surroundings were warped into streams of stars passing them by. She focused on her magic, then in a snap, earth was in front of them.
