Chapter 27
The Guardians entered the HOK after meeting with eachother in front of the building.
Ish: Do you think everyone is okay from yesterday?
Juniper: I hope so, that was...
she stopped
Jack: *confused* What's up..
Juniper saw Jessica crying in Peg-Leg arms, Kristie and Lasso we're waiting for the others as they walked over, they wore looks of sorrow.
Ish: Guys, what happened?
Peg-Leg turned away, tears falling from his eyes. Kristie ran into Joseph arms, tears falling from her face.
Kristie: J-Joseph..i-it was awful.
Joseph: What happened?
Lasso walk forward to Ish and removed his hat, his eyes were red and puffy.
Lasso: Ish...It's Bolt, he's in bad shape. He-He was led into a trap by Endgame...o-one of the Crusher turned on and-I'm So sorry Ish.
Ish ran through the hallways till he reach the infirmary, the others fallowing. The Rusherz looked up at them, all eyes red with tears. They were all standing around a door...waiting.
Ish: H-How bad...
nothing...
Ish: How bad is it?
They were about to answer until the door opened and RZ walked out, a solunm look on his face.
Troy: RZ...
RZ sighed.
RZ: It's a miracle he's alive, most of his bones were shattered, some even pierced his veins and almost all of his energy was lost. He's alive and stable but...I am unsure if he will recover 100 percent.
Ish fell to his knees, tears falling.
Joseph: RZ...Please tell me he's going to fine, that Bolt's going to bounce right back soon right?
RZ said nothing and the Rusherz turned their heads away. The Guardians faces filled with horror and tears.
Layla: Oh no...
RZ turned to Ish.
RZ: He's in there with Rampage if you want to see him.
Ish slowly got up and walked in, the others watching from the doorway. Ish gave a silent gasp as he saw Bolt laying on the bed. He was wrapped with gauze in some places, IV wires, an oxygen mask and a heart monitor was attached to him. Rampage was watching him as tears flowed form him. Ish slowly walked towards the bed, and sat down. Rampage looked up and saw Ish, nudging Bolt gently.
Rampage: Bolt...Ish is here.
Bolt wearily turned to Ish.
Bolt: I-I-Ish...w-why are-you here?
Ish: Bolt-why, why did you do that?
Bolt gave a painful sigh.
Bolt: I feel weak...and this isn't helping. Reject from my new city, Endgame's return, and the fact that she was right...I couldn't protect you. You were captured so many times...you were even corrupted by Sudden Death *Tears fall* Heh...what kind of friend am I that I can't even protect my friends. I tried to hide the past, but it keeps coming back more painful than ever and when i did *To the others too* It just caused more pain. I-I-
Bolt sobbed a bit.
Bolt: I failed...I failed you, I failed the others, i FAILED! AND ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED IS MY FAULT-
Ish quickly hugged the Charger tightly, but gently, tears falling form his face.
Ish: Don't you dare! Y-You just wanted to protect us! You were scared, it's okay to be scared...
Bolt sobbed into Ish.
Ish: It's okay..
The others cried a bit as they walked in...Troy, Marty and Ricky came forward with their Rusherz.
Tory: Bolt...we are so sorry for how we acted. W-We were just angry that we thought we lost Joseph, we thought you guys didn't care but-*Looks at Alto, his helmet was off showing the scar on his forehead* You guys went thought more pain to last a lifetime.
Marty: Not to mention the pain others inflicted on you *Looks at K-9; Rubbing his arm*, you still protected us.
Ricky: Even if it meant you got hurt *Looks at Peck, he was trembling* either physically or mentally.
Ish slowly let got of Bolt as he looked at everyone, tears in his eyes...
Bolt:-I forgive you and-I am so sorry.
Ish gripped his hand's on Bolt as he fell asleep. Ish, then looked at Rampage.
Ish: I just want to ask one thing...where are they now?
Rampage: Probably still in LA, why.
Ish nodded as he got up and walked out of the room. The others were about to follow but Ash stopped them.
Ash: Let him go, he needs to do this alone.
RZ: I agree with Ash, this is something Ish must do alone.
Los Angelas...
The Crusher and the twisted version had the Megacore in their hands.
Twisted Bolt *His and Endgame Voice*: What a bonus, a Megacore to my collection of energy to boat...this has been a nice day.
They froze when they heard a portal open in front of them. Ish slowly walked out, armor forming as the portal dissapeared.
Twisted Bolt *His and Endgame Voice*: Why am I not surprise to see you here.
Ish said nothing.
Twisted Bolt *His and Endgame Voice*: What's wrong, lost you spark.
Just as it said that sparks of electricity formed around Ish.
Twisted Bolt *His and Endgame Voice*: Oh... This now got interesting.
Ish said nothing as he charged froward, tackling the Crusher and surprising the Twisted version.
Twisted Bolt *His and Endgame Voice*: What the-
Ish sent electicity to the twisted version as he battled the Crusher, sending it screaming in pain. Ish kicked the Crusher who tried to counter attack him, but the electric sparks preventing it from attacking and stunning it in place. Ish finally knock the Crusher away, breaking it as it shut down. He then turned to the stunned Twisted Rusher, walking towards it before giving it a death glare from his visor.
Ish: Who. Turn. That. Thing. On?
The Twisted Rusher gave Ish a look.
Twisted Bolt *His and Endgame Voice*: Why not ask the ones who want you all dead...the ones who you faced in your personal life.
With that it disappeared. Ish gave a sigh as he powered down, picking up the Megacore. He gave a thoughtful look at it, before some tears formed from his eyes. He then felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see Ash and the other Guardians.
Ash: You did great Ish.
Ish gave her a nod, before bringing her in for a hug. She hugged him back.
ALL NEGATIVE ENERGY OBTAIN. PREPARING FOR TWISTED GUARDIANS.
The three humans smirked at that. Turning back to the orb.
Endgame's voice: Seems Ish has his new powers too...but, despite this, I got my personal vengeance on Bolt at last. Even if he lives, he will never be the same again.
HOK...
Ish: So, it appears we have someone indeed working for Endgame. Not one but three.
The Guardians were outside the room where Bolt was talking with the Rusherz on the situation.
Jack: I can bet you that my Step Father was the one who activated that Crusher. He might be a drunk but he's good with machinery.
Juniper: If it is him too, i got a few choice words to say to him.
Jack smirked at Juniper's determination to beat up his Step Father when she found out what happened to him.
Joseph: Bruno must be in this too. You know how mad he is when he got kicked off the youth football program recently.
Ash: I hate to admit this, but your right.
Troy: One problem...whose the third then.
While the others contemplated on who the third person might be, Jessica was sitting uneasy with Peg-Leg next to her.
Peg-Leg: Guys...I think we know who the third one is.
They turned to the two, and paled.
Marty: You don't mean her?!
Jessica: I-I think it is her. How would Endgame know about what happened to me and how to see it back in Atlanta.
Peg-Leg gritted his teeth, gripping his sword.
Peg-Leg: I swear if that witch lays a hand on you again-
Tua: We won't let that happened.
The Guardians gave looks of determination.
Ricky: There is no way we're going to be beaten by them.
Dean: Yeah! They made a huge mistake working with Endgame!
Hunter: And messing with us!
Ish clenched his hands into a fist...the other turning to their leader who still had a bit of anger from what had happened.
Ish: They all made a huge mistake messing with our emotions.
