Buzz frowned at Mira's report. "Hmm. Odd." There was a short pause while Buzz thought this over. "Mira, check the vents. Booster, XR and I will head to-" Just then Buzz jumped back and yelped, feeling something unexpectedly grab his arm. He found himself staring into wide, red, LCD-screen eyes. "Uh, I was just in the vents, they're fine." "Are.... you sure?" Buzz asked, frowning. "Yes, I'm sure, there's nothing in them," XR continued. "Hmm," Buzz said, then spoke into the communicator again. "Did you hear that?... well, I want you to check the vents again. Maybe XR missed something-" He stumbled backwards as XR frantically grabbed the wrist communicator and screamed into it, "MIRA! STAY OUT OF THE VENTS!" Buzz pried the robot off of his arm. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOIN', RANGER? I'M THE CAPTAIN OF-" XR didn't seem to be paying attention. He activated his jetpack and zipped out of the room. Yeah, that would constitute not paying attention. Buzz turned on his own jetpack and followed at top speed. "GET BACK HERE!" - Master. Master would be angry. Master would hurt him. He had to find the girl. Keep her away. He flew down the hallway to the engine room. No-no-no, Master would be angry-

"Loud and clear, Buzz," Mira said as she used her jetpack to move towards the vents. She had heard XR's reassurement, yet something was beginning to bug her about the whole thing. She ghosted one hand through, but stopped when the conversation continued through her communicator.
, a voice exclaimed. It startled Mira as she yanked her hand out of the vent. It sounded like XR's voice. What happened? Was there danger in there?
She felt uneasy as an argument erupted on the other side of the transmission. The fact that she was alone in the engine room worried her even more. "What's going on here?" Mira asked herself quietly. She then suddenly shook out all the anxiety in her. She was a space ranger, and something was wrong with the ship. She would confront whatever caused this ordeal, and stop it.
The space ranger was ready to ghost her entire body through the vent when she heard the sound of a jetpack getting closer.

Seeing Mira about to go into the vent XR tackled her around the waist and started trying to pull her away. Entering the room and seeing XR seeing Mira about to go into the vent and trying to pull her away, Buzz jet over and grabbed XR, trying to pry him off. XR hissed loudly. No stinkin' sapce rangers were gonna get between him and his dark master. He slapped Buzz away and started dragging Mira into the hallway. Buzz swore and opened his communicator. He couldn't fire on his own ranger. Even if he could, he might hit Mira. "Booster!" he ordered tersely. "Get in here, I need backup!"

Even before she could turn her head to see who it was, Mira felt two arms around her waist and before she knew it, she was being pulled down. She tried to reach for the vent, or at least something to grab onto, but it was too late.
In frustration, she pointed her laser over her shoulder, but stopped when she realized who it was. XR? Her eyes widened in disbelief. It took her a few seconds to snap out of her shock when she realized that he was not going to let go of her.
"XR? W-what are you doing?? Ugh, let go of me!" She struggled, putting one hand on the robot ranger's helmet and pushing as hard as she could to set herself free. What has gotten into him??

((OOC: Sorry if I haven't posted again yet, been pretty busy))
Booster was startled when XR suddenly sprung and shouted through Buzz's communicator, forbidding Mira to check the vents. It all happened so fast and in the blink of an eye XR jet out of there with Buzz giving chase.
"XR!" He shouted as XR flew out of there, but the robot kept going with Buzz behind him. Booster was flabbergasted, what's going on? This isn't the robot he's best friends with at all.
Shaking it off Booster activated his rockets and flew after them, what in the galaxy is wrong with XR?
"Booster! Get in here, I need backup!"
"Roger, Buzz!" Booster responded through his communicator and made his way as fast as he could to the team. He stopped and landed as he spotted his team, Mira trying to wrestle XR off.
"XR! Stop!" The Jo-Adian shouted as he ran over and grabbed his robot buddy, pulling him off of Mira and holding him tight in his arms trying to settle him down. "What's gotten into you?! That's Mira you're harming!"

XR began hissing, spitting, flailing his arms and making Exorcist-type noises. ((Is anyone willing to take over Buzz? I find him a pain to write for, for some reason.)

((Kay, I'll try writing for Buzz... I'll try to keep him IC...))
"Blast..." As if they didn't have enough to deal with, XR had to go crazy on them... He jetted out of the engine room and into the hallway, where Booster was clutching XR. Buzz face the robot ranger with a stern face, his hands on his hips.
"Explanation, Ranger! What're you..." he stopped short when he noticed XR's disturbing behavior. Even at his strangest, XR never made noises like those...
"What in the galaxy...?"

XR stopped making the noises, instead directing all his energy to strugglnig with Booster. No. No. No one was gonig to come between him and his master! The thought of the incredible pain his master could inflict nagged at the back of XR's mind and in desperation he put his helmet back and sank his teeth into Booster's arm...

Mira moved away from XR in fear and confusion. Never had she seen him like this before. Something was definitely wrong.
As Mira brought up the courage to advance at the robot, she witnessed him take a huge bite into Booster's arm. She gasped. "Booster!" she exclaimed. She dove behind XR and began pulling on his body, trying to part him from the other space ranger. "XR.. stop it.. something's wrong with you.." she struggled to say as she used all her strength.

XR tried to hold on as well as he could, but Mira was too strong. Parting ways with Booster, he immediately began to kick and flail, not caring who he hit- stop it, this is wrong, you can't hurt them No! No! They are nothing! I serve my dark master!

Booster was starting to get uneasy with XR's behaviour. The sounds he's making, the amount of trashing. It's getting really, really disturbing.
"XR...! We're just trying to-YEEOOUCH!!" The Jo-Adian suddenly screamed in pain as his robot friend sunk his teeth into his arm, the burning pain surging up his arm as the teeth sink deep. He lets go of the robot hoping he'd release his bite, but the robot wasn't letting go.
"Aaaagh!! Let go, XR!!" The Jo-Adian pleads, but the robot didn't let go until Mira helped and yanked the robot off of him. Booster clutches the bite wound as the pain still resides.
Painfully looking at the bite, he asks why would his best friend suddenly do such a thing. This all somehow seems familiar to him...But what...

XR had bitten Booster. What the...? Buzz frowned. XR didn't bite. NOS-4-A2 bit. ... O.O Of course.
"NOS-4-A2's bitten XR!" he declared, pointing dramatically at the flailing robot. "He's controlling him!"

No... Mira thought. No way... not again... NOS-4-A2 was the one who caused all these problems on the ship? Well, when she pieced everything together, it did begin to make sense. She clenched her teeth in self-disgust, wishing she had figured this out sooner.
She would not allow the energy vampire to cause anymore trouble. "Buzz, I'm heading into the vents," she said quickly, flying up to the vents once more. Should XR pursue her again, she would have no choice but to push him aside. NOS-4-A2 had to be stopped.
In a matter of seconds, Mira ghosted through the vents and began to search for the villain. It was dark, but her eyes were able to adjust quickly. It was the space that worried her the most.
"Alright you little creep... where are you? Nobody bites my team member and gets away with it!" She kept one finger over her laser wrist, should anything attack at any moment.

'Of course,' Booster thought upon hearing Buzz come to the conclusion, 'I knew this all looked familiar.'
Booster knows NOS-4-A2 very well. His team have encountered that vampire bot numerous times in the past, one time actually biting XR and turning him into his minion. And now, XR is under his control again.
Booster winces and looks again at his bite wound as Mira goes up into the vents to check. He looks back at XR, wondering what can he do to make him snap back to normal.
