Zurg was not impressed by Warp's clear refusal to take his call. "Who does Darkmatter think he is; Darlynn Diva?" Zurg yelled into the vid-screen, even though the signal was not being picked up at the other end. "Why can't I get some decent agents around here? And who dares to eavesdrop on me?" Zurg could distinguish the quick whining of a grub's prayer anywhere. The same unfortunate grub came quivering into the room. "Because no one is good enough for you?" "Good answer," Zurg calmed down ever so slightly, but not before using his laser to destroy the vid-screen. "Oooooh, if Warp doesn't get my delivery on time, he is going to be fed to CoCo twice!" "Twice?" the grub grew confused. "Ever hear of a little thing called cloning?" Zurg asked before storming out of the room. "WHERE'S MY CLONING RAY GUN?"

So maybe Thursday between 4:00 and 5:30pm ET, do some live roleplaying? I just think it'd be too awesome! ;D
Aboard 42...
In the middle of preparing their booby-traps, Team Lightyear was jolted off their feet as the ship lurched. "What was that?" Booster cried in surprise.
"Warp must've picked us up," Buzz growled. Friend or no friend, somebody was really gonna GET it, sooner or later. Very preferably, sooner.
"Now whadda we do?" XR wondered.
"We stick with the original pl-" Buzz was cut off by a sudden transmission over the ship's intercom.
"Howdy, Team Lightyear," came Warp's voice. "Let's go for a little ride, shall we?"

Nuts!! I missed everyone again. But yeah Thursday's good.
Warp leered at his former partner, feeling in complete control of the situation, and he was at the moment. Oh, Zurg was going to love him for this.
"Those were some pretty good booby-traps you had set up back there. Got any more waiting for me?" He laughed loudly at the irritated look on Buzz's face. Buzz just couldn't stand losing,especially to Warp, and it was hilarious when he did.
"Anyway, just thought I'd let you know that we're on our way to Planet Z and the chances your ship breaking free from mine are about one to one million. Relax and enjoy the trip." With that Warp exited 42 and several hornets came in to stand guard.
This is going to be a good day.

The rookies never had the chance to try to blast the hornets - in all of five seconds, the 'bots were all lying on the floor, smoking. With a decidedly thunderstruck look, Buzz wordlessly stalked away. Mira watched him go, biting her lip. She, Booster, and XR shared one thought: Man, this is NOT going to be pretty.
Less than an hour later, they arrived at Planet Z.
'S'okay, KJ - I wasn't here, either. =P

Warp strutted proudly into Zurg's throne room, knowing that his boss would not be disappointed this time.

"DARKMATTER!" Zurg's familiar dual-tone voice came echoing down the halls before his dramatic entrance--namely him stepping out from a steamy background. While pointing to his Zolex watch on his delicate wrist, Zurg reprimanded, "You are over three minutes--count them--three minutes late! You'd better have a good excuse for this one!"

"Yes, oh evil One. I do have a very good excuse for being all of three minutes late." Warp knew he could afford to push his luck today. Seeing the impatient look on his boss' face and the glowing red eyes, Warp considered explaining his lateness.
"Yes, um...well*cough*, I've captured team Lightyear, Evil Emperor Zurg. T-They're on sub-level 6, holding c-cells 6-9. All weapons and communication/radios in their s-space suits have been disabled." Somehow telling Zurg that he'd captured team Lightyear didn't feel the way it was supposed to. It didn't feel good. Warp shoved the thoughts aside and tried not to appear as confused as he suddenly felt.
At lest Zurg was impressed.....right?

Wrong. So very wrong.
Zurg didn't know whether to scream until the windows shattered, or until Darkmatter's ears went deaf.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" the evil emperor was not pleased. Not at all. Any other day, he would have been glad to apprehend the annoying teammates, and rub their capture in Buzz's face, but not today! Not only did he have to carefully deal with his fragile delivery, but he had Team Lightyear within his evil lair, snooping around something that was best kept secret.
His eyes glowed with a viscious gaze, staring at Agent Z. In a soft but lethal voice, he questioned, "Tell me that you put the package in safe keeping, with at least a level six security system surrounding the crate."

So are we on for this afternoon? ;D
Zurg's Dungeon...
"Okay, okay, guys - this isn't that bad," said Mira. "I mean, we've been in worse situations, right?"
Buzz and XR (who'd been sulking the whole time) didn't comment. Booster did. "That's the spirit, Mira! We just have to figure a way to get outta this!"
"Oh sure," XR said sarcastically. "And just how do you propose we get outta here?"
"Ummm..." Booster bit his lip.
"Maybe I can help out there," a familiar voice drifted from nearby. Out of the shadows stepped a girl in Ranger uniform.
"Erin!" Team Lightyear cried.
"SSHHHH!!"
Back in the Throne Room...

I can't make it. Something personal came up. Have fun though
Back in the throne room, Warp was starting to seriously question his decision to bring Team Lightyear back with him. He'd probably landed the one day in a lifetime that Zurg didn't want them captured. Just his luck.
"Yes, of course I put the package in safe keeping. I figured about 100 hornets would be enough to start with." He was upset now that his plan hadn't gone the way it was supposed to. Then again they rarely did, so why was this such a big deal?
Zurg was staring at him again with a look that told him it would be good if 100 hornets were actually where they were supposed to be. It was his head if they weren't.
"They are actually there, your Purpleness." Warp did his best not to betray his frustration or nervousness. When this was over, he was going to go back to his moon and sleep as long as he wanted with the vidphone unhooked.

As far as I know, I'm open on Wednesday and Thursday next week for live RP.
Back in the dungeon...
"How'd you find us?" Booster asked Erin as she set to work at the locks with a bobby pin.
"I tailed you," she shrugged, not looking up from her work.
"Erin, we talked about this yesterday," Buzz frowned.
"And I didn't listen - be glad I didn't. AND be glad that Warp taught me how to pick locks." She opened Buzz's lock and gestured him out, then set to working on Mira's.
"He's the one who threw us in here in the first place!" XR retorted.
"Yeah, and I'm gonna KILL him for it, too," Erin nodded with a small smirk.
Mira winced. Ever since that big fight Warp and Erin had had two weeks ago, they hadn't been speaking to each other. Two weeks was a record, and when the silence was finally broken, things would probably get messy. Buzz and Warp fighting as two former best friends was bad enough; Erin and Warp fighting as... as... well, as girlfriend and boyfriend... It just wouldn't be fun. No sooner had she finished that thought than Erin had let her out, turning to Booster and XR.
"Aw, sheesh," XR muttered. "We shouldn't let our girls have boyfriends - they only cause trouble! First Romac, now Warp..."
"HEY!!" Mira and Erin said at the same time. (Mira had, for all intents and purposes, "broken-up" with Romac, but that didn't mean that she wouldn't defend him.)

I'll be there Thursday. Wed......? If we do it earlier.
Warp quickly made his way to the dungeon, looking for a quiet place to gather his thoughts. Zurg had dismissed him from his duties for eight hours or until he needed him again. Whichever came first.
As he continued down the seemingly endless hallways of the lower levels of the tower, Warp found himself thinking about Erin. He smiled to himself as he recalled her slim, well-balanced figure, her beautiful face, and the argument they'd had over two weeks ago. Two weeks! That was record even for him! He should probably call her and make up. To be honest, he missed their conversations, the laughs they had together.
"She's the one person I can be myself around, other than Buzz of course. But Erin is different....somehow." Warp mused as he finally reached the dungeon and entered the security code that would grant him the access he wanted.
Of all the place to gather your thoughts. Warp knew this place by heart and he took care to avoid wandering to Team Lightyear's holding cells. At least not directly. He knew one good spot where he could observe them without being seen, so that was where he headed.
He was still thinking about Erin in the back of his mind as he made his way to his hiding place. It was just a pile of empty crates and pipes, but the shadows it cast could hid just about any movement if you were careful.
Team Lightyear....they weren't in their cells!!! Who let them out?! Warp quickly scanned the chamber until his spotted whoever it was that had free the captured Rangers.
Erin! Warp flipped open his wrist communicator and sent an emergency shut-down signal to the single airlock in and out of the dungeon. Just in time, the door locked itself just before the Rangers reached it.

Ohhh, KJ, that was great! I was melting and grinning like a mindless idiot! ;D
"Argh!" Erin growled in frustration. "That just ain't right!"
"XR, see if you can override the lock," Buzz urged.
"Don't even bother."
On cue, Team Lightyear whirled around. "Warp," Erin said softly, closing her eyes and sighing. Oh boy.

thanks
"Erin, what are you doing here," Warp almost groaned as he asked his question. He had tried to sound as mean and ugly as possible, but he realized that his question had more than likely come across as a conversation starter and not a threat. He was too tired to be mean anyway.
Buzz started to say something to Warp, no doubt about evil never winning or a speech along those lines, when Mira had a typical Mira outburst.
"WARP DARKMATTER," She shouted and the whole room jumped at least six feet backwards. "What do you THINK she's doing?! Isn't it obvious? Erin is helping us escape. DUH!" And then, Mira ran out of mean things to say; though it was obvious to everyone else that she did not like to locked up.
"Relax, Princess. I was just asking a question." Warp finally replied and then turned to Erin. "I've been meaning to call you about wha happened two weeks ago, but I guess this is as good a place as any." Truth be told Warp was very uncomfortable.
