Chapter 8
Later...
Pillage: Come on Sonar you have to eat something.
Sonar starred at the sandwicth, nothing.
Arrow-Head: Please Sonar...
Sonar said nothing. It was then the door opened that reveled Alex.
Alex: Hi there, you are Pillage, Arrow-Head and Sonar right.
They turned to him.
Pillage: Your the new Guardian correct?
Arrow-Head: That must mean you have balance energies.
Alex nodded.
Alex: I heard about what happened. I was hoping maybe i can offer some help?
The two looked at him, and nodded.
Pillage: Sure...
Alex turned outside.
Alex: Dad, you can come in.
They soon saw the man from the profile walk in.
Adam: Why hello there. I was told you needed some help?
Pillage and Arrow-Head were shocked, but nodded. Adam walked over to Sonar, the others watching from behind.
Adam: *Gentle* Hello Sonar, how are you doing today?
Sonar slowly looked up, grabbing the notebook and pencil. He wrote something.
Sonar note: Not well, it hurts.
Adam gave Sonar a small concerned frown.
Adam: It must hurt, being treated like that.
Sonar note: Yeah.
Adam: Sonar, it looks like you haven't slept in a while. Do you see him in your dreams?
Sonar note: Yes. I see her body, i see his eyes, i see the blood.
Adam: That must of been a terrifying experience for you.
Sonar nodded.
Sonar note: I've seen blood before...but with something like this. It's hard to get out of your mind.
Adam: How about the others, how do they feel about this?
Sonar gave a thought, then continued...
Sonar note: Well, scared and horrified. I was not the only one who lost a friend that day besides the Guardians. Two of the Guardians that were killed were very close to Talon and Soar...I haven't seen Talon in weeks since that day and Soar has been staying close to the HOK.
Adam: I see...have you ever consider that this could have happened?
Sonar shoke his head.
Sonar note: Not us. The Guardians were more prepared than we were. The Guardians were suppose to be brave souls, not tainted minds but that all change due to that to that one person.
Adam: Can you confirm who that person was?
Sonar was hesitant at first, but he wrote down.
Sonar note: Barron, Clare's brother and the one who betrayed us. He was always wanting something more, he didn't even have a team. He just went with his sister. When he killed them and left Tobias and Samuel for dead...we were horrified. While the other Guardians went after him we helped with Tobias and Samuel. We thought he was dead but then he came to my stadium and attack me.
Adam: What did he want from you?
Sonar note: The Crusherz, for an army to attack us.
Everyone was silent. Adam nodded and he got up.
Adam: How do you feel now?
Sonar actually smiled a bit.
Sonar note: A bit better getting that off my chest.
Adam: Shall we continue this next week?
Sonar nodded and he walked to the others.
Adam: Seems like this Barron is the ringmaster of this attack.
Ish: Do you really think he survived?
Stampede: I appears so, but we should keep our minds open with this.
The alarms blared as everyone headed to the main room. Red dots were everywhere in Atlanta.
Tobias: There an attack! Why hasn't Talon-
He then remembered what he heard.
Tobias: Oh my gosh he actually going to try and fight those things alone.
Bolt: That's suicide! You know what one of things did to me years ago! Can-
Bolt fell into a coughing fit at that. Everyone paled remembering that day, the new Guardians in fear from hearing that story.
Samuel: We have to get there now!
Alex nodded and the three shouted, going into their armor. While Alex was surprise to see his he knew he would have time to admire it later.
Ish: Three veterans go with them.
Ash, Joseph and Kristie nodded and armored up too, before the six ran into the portal to Atlanta.
Freedom: Talon please don't do anything you'll regret.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium...
Samuel: Holly-
The hall was covered in mental scrapnal, oil and blood spots. It lead down the hall to outside on the field.
Ash: A part of me is afraid of going on that field.
They slowly made their way through the battle damage till they made it outside...and they froze in fear.
Tobias: Whoa...
Surrounding the field were the thirty two Crusherz, bent and scratch up but still moving and up. In the middle of it all was Talon, his eyes in rage, body covered in oil and cuts. His hands were glowing violently.
Talon: COME ON! IS THAT THE BEST YOU GOT!?
The Crusherz went closer and Talon hands glowed brighter. It was then the stadium began to shake, cracks forming in various places.
Joseph: UUUUHHHHH, what is he doing?
Talon: FINE, IF YOUR GOING TO TAKE ME DOWN YOUR GOING WITH ME!
They soon heard rumbles and breaking as it dawned upon them as Talon veins began to glow like his hands.
Tobias: Oh crap he's going to bring the stadium down!
Samuel: But...we'll go down with it!
Ash: Guys, we need to get those bots out of here!
Alex: Hey, glowing veins on him is also not a good sign right?
They saw his glowing veins and paled.
Tobias: RZ...is glowing vein on Talon bad?
They heard nothing. But then someone answered.
Freedom: I'll be there in a flash whatever you do don't make him us his powers!
Samuel and Joseph were quick to act as they ran to the feild and tackled Talon, holding his arms down tight.
Talon: L-LET ME GO!
Kristie: Now get the bots out of here.
Kristie threw a power ball in the air and smacks it while Ash kicked her power ball, the smaller balls hitting the bots as Tobias and Alex tackled them away. The bots were dazed for a bit as the rest got into their battle stance...but instead of fighting they dissapeared in a flash.
Alex: Well...that was not what i expected.
Ash: Same here?
Tobias: Yeah...what was-
Talon: YOU LET THEM GET AWAY I ALMOST HAD HIM!
They turned back to the Joseph and Samuel struggled to keep Talon in their arms.
Joseph: T-Talon y-you could have died.
Talon: NOT ONLY DID THAT THING KILLED MAX BUT NOW THOSE CRUSHERZ ARE BACK AND THEY TOOK THE MEGCORE!
Talon hands glowed hard, his eyes now glowing with his veins.
Samuel: I-I don't think we can-
Talon: ENOUGH! RISE-
Freedom: TALON! DON'T!
Talon stopped and looked up to see Freedom in front of him, on his knees. Joseph and Samuel let go as Freedom grabbed Talon's hands.
Freedom: *gentle* That's enough...you done enough
Talon: F-Freedom...I-I-
Talon looked around and saw the other Guardians look at him in concern. He looked at himself which was covered in blood, oil and his glowing veins, then back at Freedom.
Talon: *Tears up* I'm so sorry.
Slowly, the veins and glow diminish. Talon blinked as the tears fell.
Talon: I-I didn't mean too...
Talon curled to a ball as Freedom brought him in... Hugging him. It was a while before he claimed down and turned to the now unarmored Guardians, noticing Alex.
Talon: Whose this?
Alex: I'm Alex, I'm one of the new Guardians.
Talon was hesitant with that.
Freedom: It's alright, we check and he's good?
Talon: H-How? And why are the Crusherz activated?
They froze at that.
Samuel: Y-You don't know?
Talon: Know what? What's going on?
They sighed and braced themselves.
Tobias: Well first...we think Barron is back.
Talon: WHAT?! If he's back how did he get the Crusherz-wait...what did he do?
Everyone bite their lips, but it was Freedom who took over.
Freedom: Talon...it's about Sonar...
