Chapter Seven - Final Face-Off

Buzz Lightyear and his team watched from nearby the entrance as a robotic Lladnar stated his challenge. He didn't like the idea of his old academy buddy and Randall taking him on by themselves. It just seemed too dangerous for two beings. However, he couldn't get himself to go over there and help. He didn't feel confident enough, though he'd never admit that to anyone - not even himself.

The captain's attention was quickly diverted to XR - or, rather, what was left of him - lying on the ground nearby. He crawled over to retrieve his parts, keeping a cautious eye on Lladnar and his two adversaries. . .

Lladnar took the initiative to slowly close in on his quarry, as the pair readied themselves for battle. Ty held his double blade firmly in his hands, quickly shooting a sideways glance at Randall. "You think we can take him?" he whispered.

"Sure," he replied. "But it ain't gonna be easy, I'll give ya that."

His human partner nodded. "I guessed as much."

"You're both gonna wish you hadn't interfered," Lladnar warned, extended his upper two hands.

Out of his robotic fingers, came purple wires. They wrapped themselves around both Ty and Randall's bodies, slowly pulling them closer. Ty planted his feet and spun his double blade around, the two edges releasing both Randall and himself. The wires fell off of their waists and Randall spread out along the side, taking up a karate stance. Ty remained where he was.

"I'm in the zone, Lladnar," he said, trying to throw off his concentration. "It's two to one and you're outnumbered."

"It's meaningless when you possess the kind of abilites I have," Lladnar shot back, flipping out a shoulder launcher from his robotic body and firing off a rocket at Randall. "You're nothing more than inferior."

"That's what you think!" Ty replied, swinging his double blade around, impacting his side.

Randall dove behind a row of electronic consules and it blew up with a loud 'boom', just as Lladnar fell to the ground. Growling angrilly, Lladnar lunged at Ty and the Ranger swiftly dodged. The villian slid to a stop and turned again to face the human. He sent out a shockwave that knocked him off his feet.

Randall then vanished from sight and came in to assist his friend. He swiftly sent a few punches at his evil clone, which didn't seem to do much in the way of harming him. It did, however, throw off his concentration. It made it quite difficult to focus on just one of them - and that seemed to be the general plan.

Ty stood once again, but hesitated rejoining the fight. He didn't want to swing his weapon around only to connect with an invisible Randall. That would prove to be a major disadvantage.

Lladnar momentarily noted Ty's hesitation and, like greased lightning, slithered to his side. He grabbed hold of Ty's double blade and they both wrestled for control of it. Randall reappeared nearby, quickly shifting his glance around the room. A rod from the destroyed display caught his eye and he ran over to retrieve it.

Lladnar proved to be considerably stronger than the human, so he slowly began tilting one of the blades towards Ty's head. He shot him an evil smirk. Ty clenched his teeth and fought the movement, but it was too much. Finally, in a last-ditch effort to avoid decapitation, he let go suddenly and hit the deck. This unexpected move sent the double blade clanging into Lladnar's head, slicing off one of his metallic fronds.

He threw the weapon aside and his eyes widened, staring at his dismembered frond. "GAH! Look what you did to me!"

"It's a good look for you actually," said a voice from behind.

Lladnar turned, only to get bashed along the side of the head with a rod. He slid several feet away, coming to a stop when his snout hit a nearby consule.

"That's for what you did to me in the cabin!" Randall smirked, leaning on the rod.

Ty got up from the floor and chuckled. "Nice timing."

The lizard-monster grinned. "Well, I try."

"ARGHH!" Lladnar groaned, clearly furious at being out-witted by these 'inferior' beings. "I'm not through yet!"

He transformed back into his original form and vanished from sight. Ty shifted his glance towards Randall. Taking the clue, Randall also disappeared. Ty glanced around the room, trying to guage where they were, but his efforts were useless. Both were using stealth to evade one another. Team Lightyear started to take out their guns, but Ty held up his hands.

"No. Let Randall and I handle this. Buzz, you and the team find Commander Nebula and free him," he called. "Then bring in some backup."

"But, buddy. . ." Buzz objected. "We can't just leave you guys here, it's -"

"Too dangerous? Buzz, we'll be able to take care of it until the calvary comes," Ty cut in. "You need to do something more than just sitting here."

After a moment of hesitation, Buzz nodded and headed for the door. "You heard him, Team, we've got a job to do," he announced, pausing just before he exited. "Be careful."

Ty nodded. "If anyone can handle Lladnar, it's us."

[Ranger Parsec]

With a last nod of agreement, his friend left, the door hissing closed behind him. Ty edged his way to the wall intercom and locked the door. The last thing Star Command needed was this villian running rampant. At least here they could keep him contained. Ty kept his back to the wall as a defensive move. He didn't want Lladnar sneaking up on him unexpectedly.

He took a quick glance at his double blade, which was setting near the middle of the room. He considered going over there to get it, but the unpredictability of the situation caused him to hesitate. For the moment being, he'd stay right where he was - at least until he knew where Lladnar was. He just trusted that Randall knew what he was doing.

His eyes scanned the room, then he heard a crash, swiftly turning his head in the general direction. Sparks flew from the consule to his left and dents were being made in the wall, each one making an audible bang. He could also hear growls and scuffling. It was strange looking at some invisible battle and only being able to see and hear the effects of it. Ty took the opportunity to dash towards his weapon.

He could faintly hear padding footsteps behind him and picked up the pace. He dove, grabbing it, just as it floated into the air - held by an invisible opponent. Ty jerked it out of his grip and swung at the spot. However, it felt as though he was just cutting through air.

"Look out!" came Randall's urgent voice.

Ty turned towards the voice and felt something impact his stomach. He doubled over, dropping the weapon. It floated into the air and Lladnar appeared, holding it victoriously. Randall also appeared nearby and readied himself for his counterpart's advance. Lladnar disregarded Ty, who seemed to be momentarily disabled, and went straight for Randall. His eyes narrowed.

"Now I'll do what I should have done already!" he said, clutching the weapon firmly in his upper hands.

He lunged for Randall, the blade positioned to make shish-ke-bobs out of his adversary. Randall swiftly dodged, taking the opportunity to run as Lladnar pursued him with a relentless menace. Randall dove behind some control panels as Lladnar took another swing or two at him. Upon destroying those consules, the only working lights left in the room went out. The only light they had now was the moonlight streaming in through the windows. It cast an eerie pale yellow glow across the room, allowing for very limited visibility.

"Randall! Where is he?" Ty called through the darkness. "We gotta get out of here. It's getting too dangerous."

"I think he's to your left, near the wall," Randall called back. "I'm not completely sure, though. I - AGH!"

"Randall??" Ty echoed, straining to see through the darkness. Finally, he noticed two dark sillhouettes struggling in the center of the room and made his way over to help.

CRASH!!

One of the monster figures got thrown onto another consule as he approached. He heard a groan from the other and cautiously approached him. In this visibility, it was hard to tell who was who. Ty knelt next to him, shifting a quick glance towards the other figure, which seemed to be coming-to.

"Get a weapon," Randall muttered.

"But, what about. . .?"

"Get a weapon before he tries again!" the monster urged.

Ty sighed, wrestling with the decision, and left his side, looking around for anything he could use as a weapon. He spotted Randall's rod and snatched it up. Just then, he heard the padding of footsteps coming from the other side of the room. It had to be Lladnar. He scanned the room and spotted the figure moving towards Randall's form, wielding his double blade. He was raising it above his head!

Ty's eyes widened. "Randall!"

Dropping the rod, the Ranger ran at the evil clone and rammed into his side with his shoulder, sending the both of them sprawling to the ground.

Randall looked up, his brows arching in surprise as he attempted to rise to his feet. His attempts were mostly in vain, so he sunk to the ground again. He laid there for a few moments as he tried to quickly revive himself. His lower left arm felt as though it was broken, but the pain affected his entire body. It hurt - alot. He took in a few deep breaths and closed his eyes. He needed a few moments to recover, then he'd grab Ty and get out of there.

It was simply too dangerous now to fight Lladnar - there were too many shadows and corners where he could lurk. Randall wasn't sure it was smart to keep this up without backup.

He could hear the sounds of a struggle where Lladnar and Ty had landed. It was only a matter of feet from where he was currently laying.

CLANG!

Randall's fronds jerked up and his eyes shot open. The tip of the blade had landed only inches from his snout. He quickly backed up, stubbornly ignoring the shooting pain from his arm.

"Let go of me, cretin!" Lladnar demanded angrilly. Ty had a strong hold on his body, keeping him only inches from reaching Randall.

Determined to assist his friend, Randall spotted his rod within arms' reach and turned to grab it. That's when he heard Ty cry out. He grasped the rod tightly and turned back to Lladnar. The villian's attention was currently focused on his human friend, who was laying on the ground, clutching his side. His breathing sounded labored.

Randall set his jaw and firmly hit his clone in the side with his rod. "Nobody, but nobody does that to my friends!" he declared.

[Ranger Parsec]

Lladnar fell on his side, the double blade sliding out of his reach before he could grab it again. Now, if Randall wasn't fed up already, this was the last straw. He beared down on his clone, glaring at him.

"I could easily kill you right here and now," Randall said, his glare set on the villian. "But I'm not like you."

Before the villian could come up with a reply, he hit him over the head with the rod, thusly knocking him unconscious. Lladnar fell to the ground with a thud. Randall threw the rod aside and rushed over to Ty's side. The human appeared to be in alot of discomfort, clutching his side tightly.

"We gotta get outta here," Randall said, gently urging his friend to get up.

"I. . .can't. . ." Ty gasped.

"Why not?"

The Ranger clenched his teeth and cautiously lifted his hand. Underneath, there was a large, deep cut in his right side, the cloth around it stained a bright red. Randall's eyes widened and he gradually attempted to help lift him up, despite Ty's complaints and groanings.

"We gotta get ya to a medic or somethin'," he urged, slinging his friend's arm over his upper shoulders. "Hang on. If we work together, we can probably make it out into the hall."

"You okay?" he asked, making an effort to place some weight on his own two feet as they made it towards the door.

Randall arched an eyebrow, thinking it was an odd question to ask, being in such a condition himself. "Well, I don't have a gaping hole in my side, so I think I'm doing pretty good," he explained. "I think I just have a broken arm; it's not really that bad."

Ty quirked a brow at him quizzically, as if to say 'just a broken arm?', but didn't actually say anything. He seemed a bit distant and detached at the moment. Randall shifted Ty's weight, to support him more effectively, and took a quick glance over his shoulder at Lladnar. He still lay motionless on the ground.

Good.

Randall figured that if only he could get some backup, then they could dispose of him. But, just judging by the dent in his rod, he guessed that the Rangers would have plenty of time to get in there and take care of him. He continued towards the door, which - surprisingly - opened automatically. Perhaps some of the destruction had disabled the 'lock' feature.

He led Ty out into the dimly-lit hallway. The Ranger's grip was beginning to slip and the weight on the lizard-monster's shoulders seemed to increase. Taking the cue, Randall carefully laid him down on the floor, where he immediately passed out. With a broken arm, it was pretty unlikely, Randall thought, to carry him somewhere.

Just then, he heard footsteps coming their way. His fronds perked up. "Hey! Over here!"

The footsteps picked up and Team Lightyear and several other Rangers came around the bend. Buzz's eyebrows arched in concern, his eyes darting from Ty's motionless figure to Randall, cradling his broken arm. "What happened??"

Randall rolled his eyes skyward. "Eh, long story, I'll explain later," he said. "But I knocked Lladnar out. He's still in the control room, so you'd better get in there and do something with 'im."

Buzz glanced at his team and the extra Rangers. "Well, you heard him," he said. "Move in and take him into custody. Commander's orders. He wants him put in a super-secure cell."

The Rangers saluted their superior officer and infiltrated the control room like a SWAT team, lasers at ready as they entered. Booster and XR were the only ones, besides Buzz, to stay behind.

"And so ends Lladnar's reign of terror," XR grinned. "Not to mention, Zurg plot number three-thousand two-hundred and sixty-nine. Boy, you'd think he'd run out of idea eventually. . ."

Booster chuckled.

"Well, we'd better get Ty to the medic," Buzz said. "Booster, can you do the honors?"

The big Jo-Adian grinned widely and saluted. "Yes, sir! Right away!" he replied gladly, heading over to the Ranger.

Buzz glanced at Randall and offered him a small grin. "Thanks for your help," he said, holding out a hand. "I guess you're not as bad as I thought."

Randall shook it and grinned smugly. "Yeah, same here."

The captain nodded and glanced down the hallway, watching Booster go. He shot a look back at Randall. "You know, after we get you to the infirmary, I think Commander Nebula needs to know what you guys did," he began. "Since Ty's currently unable to accompany me, would you mind coming with me to file the report?"

Randall paused for a moment, to think it over, and then nodded decisively. "No problem."

Buzz grinned. "Great."

***************

"Hey! You can't do this to me!! Don't you know who I am??" Lladnar exclaimed loudly as several guards led him into the launch bay.

Two of the Rangers exchanged amused glances at one another and the first laughed. "Yeah, we know exactly who you are, buddy," he said. "Prisoner #89, on a one way ticket to PC-7."

The other three who were escorting him also laughed, which really seemed to tick the evil clone off.

Team Lightyear, Ty, and Randall watched nearby as the villian was dragged off by the guards. A large, armored spaceship with 'PC-7 Transport' painted on the side awaited him. PC-7 (short for "Penal Colony 7") was a small, man-made planet on the far side of the universe, whose interior housed the galaxy's most notorious and dangerous criminals. It was the largest and most secure prison in the entire Galactic Alliance, so Lladnar's trip really would be a one way ticket. There were very few incents of reported escape from PC-7.

This made Randall feel better. After the events that occured a few days earlier, he didn't think he wanted to see his counterpart ever again. In a way, it was eerie having an evil clone wandering through the galaxy - or worse: right inside Star Command. Frankly, he was quite relieved to see him being sent far, far away.

XR waved to Lladnar, a huge grin on his face. "Bye! Have a nice vacation at PC-7!" he said cheerfully.

Lladnar clenched his teeth angrilly and shot looks at both Ty and Randall. "You haven't seen the last of me!" he yelled, as the guards shoved him into the back of the ship. "I'll have my revenge! You just wait!"

[Ranger Parsec]

Randall cast a glance at Ty, who replied by quirking a brow. Lladnar clearly had much more to say, but his threats were cut off as the door slammed shut in his face. Then the ship promptly took off, exiting out a portal in the ceiling high above their heads. With the show over, the small audience that had gathered began to disperse.

"You think he really meant what he said?" Ty asked Randall as they walked through the door and into the hall.

Randall shrugged. "I dunno," he said, carefully adjusting the sling under his lower left arm. "He could be bluffing."

"Or letting off some steam," XR chuckled. "Villians like that are full of hot air."

Randall and Ty laughed.

"Anyways, see you guys later, me and the team have got some things to do," XR said, heading off. "See you later!"

They waved, continuing on their way. Ty cast a sideways glance at Randall's arm. "How's your arm doing?"

"Oh, it's doing better," Randall replied, rolling his eyes. "I hate the idea of having to keep this cast on for more than a week but, eh, I'll survive." He half-grinned. "How 'bout you?"

"I have to keep changing my bandages on a regular basis and the stitches are kinda annoying, but I should recover completely in a few days," Ty replied, pausing thoughtfully. He grinned at the lizard-monster. "You know, we make a pretty good team."

Randall returned the grin. "Yeah, I guess we do, huh?"

The Ranger nodded. He would have loved to have a partner like Randall on a regular basis, fighting right by his side, but was afraid to bring it up. It was a silly idea, he reasoned. He knew full-well that the monster desired to return to his world and Ty wasn't about to propose otherwise. Besides, he had already made previous arrangements. He couldn't, and wouldn't, go back on his promise. A Ranger's word was as good as a contract - especially if it was coming from Ty.

However, there was a more personal issue to take into account. Ty hated to admit it to himself, but he had unwillingly grown attached to Randall. He knew it would be very difficult to see him go now. He considered the lizard-monster as a close friend, a companion to whom he felt comfortable discussing his problems; some of which he wouldn't dare tell anyone else. He just felt a strange, mysterious connection to him, even though he was an entirely different species altogether. He couldn't explain exactly why he felt this way, he just knew there was something there.

He tried to deny this, but the issue continually presented itself to his mind, so it became harder to dismiss.

Maybe, he thought. I'll get over it once he's gone.

As they turned the corner, they spotted Commander Nebula, chatting with one of the rangers. Once he spotted them, he dismissed the ranger and approached them. He made an attempt to smile as he came up to them. "Ahem, um, hello Boggs, Parsec," he said, as though preparing to say something he wasn't thrilled about. "It appears that the President of the Galactic Alliance heard about your actions, and. . ."

"Yes?" Ty prodded.

"And. . .she wanted me to commend both of you highly for your actions and. . .etc, etc," Commander Nebula muttered. "As for Mr. Boggs, he's officially welcome to stay here whenever and for as long as he wants, by special permission. Also, the Space Ranger Corps is deeply indebted to you for your actions. You can call on us anytime you need help."

Randall grinned.

"Parsec, by Madam President's reccommendation, she would like to ask if you would want to consider a promotion from Lieutenant to Captain," he continued.

Ty's face lit up. "Seriously?" he asked in dismay. "I haven't gotten a promotion in years!"

"Yeah," Nebula replied. "She says we need someone with 'your kind of integrity and skill' in a commanding position. So. . .do you want it or not?"

"I'd be honored, sir," Ty smiled, trying to contain his excitement.

Nebula nodded. "Very well," he said. "I'll make the arrangements this afternoon."

The Commander then turned and promptly headed off for his office. Randall lightly punched his human friend in the arm. "Congradulations!" he said. "I'm sure you'll make a great captain."

"Thanks," Ty replied, beaming.

Then, suddenly reminded of something, he paused. "Ahem. Uh, Randall? I happen to have a surprise for you as well."

"A surprise?" Randall echoed, his interest perked.

"Yeah," he replied. "Follow me."

*******

Ty led Randall down several twists and turns of the interior of Star Command, until they finally came to a door. Randall looked up at the words above the circular doorway, it read "Star Command Developmental Technologies Lab". He quirked a brow at Ty, but the human held up a hand, indicating for him to hold his questions until later. Randall silently followed his friend throught he laboratory door, trusting that he had something good in mind. To the lizard-monster, combining 'laboratory' and 'Randall' in the same sentance always meant something unpleasant.

But Ty wouldn't hurt him, would he? So far, he proved to be the kind of friend he always wanted - human or not. Randall banished the fearful thoughts to the back of his mind as they walked past several tables of chemicals, high-tech machines, and prototype testing areas. Some of the things were being tested and tested again right before his eyes, probably to make sure they met standards.

Randall looked to his left and watched as a bunch of small, cute, green aliens - LGMs - were shooting rockets at something that looked like an updated version of the rangers' space suits. When the suit stood up to the barrage, they gave the thumbs-up to their identical, three-eyed buddies.

He glanced back at Ty questioningly. He was anxious to know why he had been brought here if, for nothing else, but to ease his fears. Nevertheless, he was only met with a reassuring grin, and a motion for him to stay nearby.

Randall did as he was told, growing more and more curious by the moment.

They headed for the back of the huge lab, where a row of doors lined the back wall. Dozens of Star Command's extensive staff of LGMs milled about as they pushed through. Ty approached one of the LGMs, dressed in a little white lab coat. This alone made Randall uneasy, but he stayed at his friend's side.

"Hey there, can you help me?" he asked the little guy. "I was the one who requested you to do a special project, if you recall. Can I see it?"

The LGM stared at him for a moment and then broke into a grin. "Oooh! I know youuuu," he said in a slow, monotone voice. "You're Miraaa, right?"

Ty blinked, a look of distaste on his face. "Uh, not exactly," he said. "I'm Ty. Remember? Mira's a female - I'm a male. There's a pretty big difference there."

The LGM blinked.

Ty raised an eyebrow in anticipation, waiting.

"Ohhh, riiiight," the LGM said, heading towards one of the doors. "You rangers all look the saaame."

The Ranger gave his friend an exasperated look. Randall couldn't help but chuckle, shrugging his shoulders lightly, as they were led to one of the doors. The LGM pointed at it. "We just finiiished," he said. "It just neeeeds a little more wooork."

"No problem," he replied. "I think we can take care of that. Just keep this whole thing top secret, okay?"

The LGM nodded in reply and headed off.

Randall looked at Ty, not to be deterred any longer. "What's this all about?"

Without reply, the Ranger opened the door, revealing the 'top secret' surprise: a circular portal device glowing in the middle of the room. The portal was like a circular doorway, swirling with various colors. He sent a small grin Randall's way.

"You're going home."

[RandallBoggs]

Brilliant action sequences Joy ^_^
Especially loved the atmosphere you created.
And that end was perfect! ^_^

OH! And uh....thanks ^_^

[lizardgirl]

I don't know why, but this is my favourite chapter so far by far. ;D Several moments made me burst out laughing- "She's a female and I'm a male- there's a pretty big difference" and when Lladnar's frond was chopped off. I don't know why, I just found that funny. Oh, and when Lladnar said cretin. It's amazing how many similarities there were between him and Randall, yet also how many differences. ;D

I think it's so sweet of Ty to be prepared to let Randall go, as they've become such close friends. It's really hard when two people, both not having friends sprouting out of their ears, so to speak, become friends then have to say goodbye. Or will Randall stay? Hmm...I guess we'll have to wait 'til the next chapter. ;D

[Ranger Parsec]

Thanks Sean and Cool! Glad you both liked it.

I tried to keep the similarities between Randall and Lladnar apparent, but yet sorta distant. He is sort of a clone, after all. ;D But he's evil and Randall's not, so I kept that element in there.

Oh, and just in case no one noticed yet, Lladnar is actually Randall spelled backwards. lol. But, if you've already noticed it. . .nevermind.

[RandallBoggs]

Oh it is....how did I miss that!?

^_^

Oh no....don't tell me your ending's going to be like my middle too!

[Beboots]

Ranger said:

I actually didn't. I'm very unobservant.


Brilliant chapter. As I was reading this one, I wrote down some comments on NotePad, and I'm going to share 'em with you guys. [Insert maniacal laughter here]

Randall dove behind a row of electronic consules and it blew up with a loud 'boom', just as Lladnar fell to the ground.

In my mind, I've edited the 'boom' in that sentence to "BOOOOOOMMM!!!". I felt the need to share that. ;

The villian slid to a stop and turned again to face the human.

Typo! "Villain", not "villian".

This unexpected move sent the double blade clanging into Lladnar's head, slicing off one of his metallic fronds.

Oh, no! Not the frond! O.O;

Ty got up from the floor and chuckled. "Nice timing."

The lizard-monster grinned. "Well, I try."

No idea why, but I love this line. ^_^ It's probably the wittiness.

He transformed back into his original form and vanished from sight. Ty shifted his glance towards Randall. Taking the clue, Randall also disappeared.

All right! An ivisible!battle. Very fun things to watch. Oh, and something just occured to me; can Randall see himself (and, in this case, Lladnar), when invisible?

Randall wasn't sure it was smart to keep this up without backup.

Oh, Randall can take 'im.

"Well, I don't have a gaping hole in my side, so I think I'm doing pretty good," he explained

Again, very nice line. It's not fair to the rest of us that such good dialogue comes naturally to you.

By the way, what does LGM stand for, anyway?

[lizardgirl]

Little Green Men- they TOTALLY rule and their home planet is like the most beautiful thing EVER. ;D I sorta figured Lladnar was Randall backwards when Lladnar protested. Hey...didn't Zurg name some other agent or something of his the backwards to the good side's version...? Or maybe that was when Agent Z said the name Agent Z was stupid. ;D

[Ranger Parsec]

Yes, indeed, LGM = Little Green Men. ^_^ They are to Star Command what Grubs are to Zurg. Thanks for your review! Reading your comments is always enjoyable.

Heh heh. I snuck in TWO, count 'em, two homages to BLofSC in that one quote.

1.) Zurg names Warp Darkmatter "Agent Z" and he replies by saying, "That's stupid." I loved that!

2.) In the episode "Clone Rangers", Zurg intended on making evil clone of Team Lightyear, but it backfired and made evil KID clones of them instead. So, he gave Buzz's kid clone the name "Zzub", which - of course - is Buzz backwards. ^_^ As Zurg said in my fic: it's a classic! (for BLofSC, anyways

Beboots said:

Oh, and something just occured to me; can Randall see himself (and, in this case, Lladnar), when invisible?

Probably not. Lol. They both change scale color to "disappear", so I don't think they could see one another. They probably gotta go by sound or something and then guess where their opponent is going to strike. Makes it pretty tough to fight something you can't see. Lol.

[RandallBoggs]

Well actually another invisible fight.....ooops....can't tell about that ^_^

[lizardgirl]

ZZUB!!! OMG I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THAT EPISODE!!! I LOOOOOVE THAT EPISODE!!! The evil little XR is SOOO dude. I loved his voice, lol. And I found it really funny when the mini-Booster is rolling around on the floor groaning and Buzz says something like, "You're feeling bad about being defeated, aren't you?" and the mini-Booster replies, "No, I think I just ate too much candy corn." He then burps. And when, at the end, Zurg puts them back into the machine thing to make them into adults, but he leaves them in too long and they come out as old people.

LOL. Yeah. I thought the best part was when Zurg was trying to control the evil kid clones and they're all rampaging around the place and begging for their own robot. They drove him insane. I can't imagine what Zurg would do if he had his own kids.

And, a little OT, but I'm quite annoyed at the deadening of the BLofSC fandom. There's, like, NOWHERE that I can talk about the series anymore that isn't already dead or inactive. Darn people, quickly losing interest and moving from one fandom to another and stranding us all alone. . .It's strange that it's only here that I can find somewhere solid to chat about it just a little here and there. I say it's strange because this is a Randall board. LOL.

*is going crazy, having a lack of communal outlets for her other obsession* O.o

Hopefully people don't mind me sneaking in bits of my other obsession, as I've been doing lately. *is trying not to be too annoying, though, LOL*

[RandallBoggs]

Hey! It's ok ^_^

"Yeah....we don't mind ^^__^^"
