"What are we gonna do? Lord Zaktu said the rusher only have until sun down tomorrow." Ash says.
"There has to be a way out." Ish says as the group is searching the cell for a way out.
"Yeah if we had our N.F.L.R's." Troy says.
"We can't give up." Alexis says as she looks at Troy.
"You hear that?" Tua says as they then hear a bird sound.
"Not to worry my friends. Help has arrived." Belan says as he then makes a bird call and pushes a rock revealing an entrance and a girl.
"Come. You must hurry." The girl says as the others then follow the girl through the entrance.
*Timeskip*
"Wait where's Marty?" Ricky asks noticing Marty isn't with them causing the group to stop.
"I'll go look for your friend. The rest of you follow Belan." The girl says and goes for Marty while the rest follow Belan and wait for Marty and the girl. Once Alexis sees Marty as he arrives with the girl she then runs over to him hugging him happy to see he is alright.
"Marty are you okay?" Alexis asks.
"All good." Marty says as he smiles.
"The stair will lead us out. Hurry." Belan says as they all then follow Belan to a stone door.
"Over here." Belan says as he and Ish push the door before the group then see a long drop down.
"Stop them!" Lord Zaktu says as he and some guards start catching up.
"That's not good." Alexis says hearing Lord Zaktu.
"Come on." Belan says as the others then follow him to a dead end.
"Dead end." Tua says looking at the long drop down.
"You got another exit?" Troy asks as Alexis shifts into her wolf form ready to fight.
"We jump." Belan says.
"Seriously dude." Ricky says as he looks at Belan.
"You're kidding right?" Alexis asks as she looks at Belan.
"Trust me." Belan says as he jumps.
"I trust him." Ash says as she jumps with Ish before Ricky, Troy, and Tua then jump.
"Come on together." Marty says taking the hand of the girl that saved him and jumps as Alexis jumps with them.
"Cool air brakes. Sweet." Troy says as Belan presses a button on his device making them land safely.
"I told you you could trust me." Belan says.
"How do we get back inside the castle? We have to save the rushers." Ish says as he looks at Belan.
"Without our powers how can we?" Troy asks while looking at Ish and Belan.
"There is a way. You must fulfill your destiny. Come. I'll explain at our camp." Belan says as he leads the others to his camp.
*Timeskip*
"So uh thank you for saving me back at the castle Melane." Marty says.
"You too. I mean I don't think I would've jumped without you there." Melane says.
"Really?" Marty asks curiously.
"Yea." Melane says as Marty is talking to her while Alexis watches from a little ways away grumbling a bit at the sight.
"Jealous wolfy?" A voice asks revealing to be Troy as he stands beside Alexis.
"A bit." Alexis says while looking at Marty and Melane.
"I wouldn't worry about it. Marty is totally into you. Besides can't get him to hush sometimes about you." Ricky says as he comes over.
"He talks about me?" Alexis asks as Belan comes over with some weapons.
"Knights. The people of my village wish to present you with their most treasured gifts. To help you prepare for your quest. Observe. The ancient drawings they portray the seven mythic weapons for seven mythic heroes. These weapons are the best we have to help you defend yourselves. The double blades, the mystic bow, the circle of fire, the shield of strength, the ice blade, the eternity whip, and the blade of truth." Belan says as he hands Alexis and the others weapons.
"May they serve you well Knights of the Sky." Melane says.
"Are you gonna tell us what that means? Knights of the Sky?" Ricky asks.
"Yeah. You keep calling us that. What does it mean anyway?" Alexis asks.
"Every child born to our people knows the story. It promises that seven warriors will come to reunite the pieces of the anticore." Melane says.
"The anitcore?" Ash asks.
"Anticoria is not without it's own power source. The anticore was placed here long ago as a counter measure. In case the core ever fell into the wrong hands it was broken into three pieces but the anticore powers can not be extracted by just anyone. It must be someone truly good. Someone who holds a piece of the core within them." Belan says.
"Like us." Tua says.
"So how do we get these anticore pieces?" Ish asks.
"As long as they remain apart they can only be touched by the knights. Once all three are reunited their power can be harnessed for good." Belan says.
"How about for bad?" Marty asks as he looks at Belan.
"Lord Zaktu will certainly try." Melane says.
"Melane's right. But going on this quest is the only way to rid this planet of Lord Zaktu and free your friends. Be warned it will be very dangerous." Belan says.
"Danger is my middle name." Troy says bravely.
"I thought it was Laurence." Marty says causing Alexis to laugh slightly Troy then gives Marty and Alexis a dirty look.
"We're here for you Belan. We'll help you find the pieces of the anticore." Ish says.
"We begin our quest at dawn." Belan says.
"Hail the Knights of the Sky." Melane says.
*Timeskip*
"There are three pieces to the anticore. Each guarded by its own obstacles. The only way to get them all in time is if we split up. The first piece is in the land of ice. I know the terrain well so I will lead the team on this lake." Belan says while holding trackers to find the pieces.
"I'll go with you." Ash says receiving look from Ricky, Troy, and Tua.
"What? I like the cold." Ash says.
"Count me in too Belan." Ish says as he goes over to Belan.
"I will be in good company. Melane perhaps you should take Alexis and Marty to the site of the ancient temple of the sky. His agility and her speed will come in handy there." Belan says as he hands Melane the tracker.
"You can count on us to get the job done Belan." Alexis says as Belan looks at her.
"I am glad to hear that." Belan says as he nods.
"What about the three of us?" Ricky asks.
"Observe. The canyon of shrinking rocks. It will take three very strong warriors to survive that landscape." Belan says.
"That's us. Warriors all the way." Troy says as he fist bumps Tua and Ricky.
"I'm glad to see you all are in good spirits. But make no mistake. The challenges will be treacherous. They will put your skills to the test. Without your guardian powers you will be in terrible jeopardy." Belan says as he hands Tua the tracker and looks at the group.
"We're ready." Ish says.
"Guardians unite!" The group says as they put their hands together and then head off to find the pieces.
*Timeskip*
"Whoa. This is prettier than a gimpy but i got my own beautiful gem." Marty says seeing the temple before looking at Alexis as she smiles as he, Alexis, and Melane arrive. Alexis the shifts into wolf form holding the sword she was given in her mouth not particularly trusting her surroundings.
"The anticore must be near but do not be fooled things on Anticoria are never as they seem." Melane says.
"No kidding." Alexis says before hearing a commotion and going with Melane and Marty to see what is going on.
"Get back!" A voice says revealing to be the Jets rusher being attacked by Blitz Bots.
"That's the Jets rusher we have to help him." Marty says as he and Alexis go to help the rusher.
"Wait!" Melane says as Marty then attacks the Blitz Bot holding the rusher.
"Put him down!" Marty says as he attacks the Blitz Bot making it drop the rusher. Alexis and Marty then run over to the rusher and help him up only to put down there weapons as another Blitz Bot comes over and is about to attack them.
"Marty look out!" Alexis shouts seeing the Blitz Bot before Melane then attacks the blitz bot deactivating it.
"Did you think I came unprepared?" Melane asks as marty and alexis look at her.
"You could have told us about that a little sooner." Marty says.
"Would of been nice to have a heads up but thanks for the help." Alexis says.
"No problem." Melane says as she gives Alexis a smile.
"Am I glad to see you guys." The Jets rusher says as he comes over and high fives Marty.
"Hey!" a voice shouts revealing to be Tua as he, Ricky, and Troy come running over.
"Marty! Alexis! Rusher!" Another voice shouts revealing to be Ash as she, Belan, and Ish then come over.
"Let's go find the others." Ish says.
"Ish wait. Lord Zaktu said bringing you guys here was a trap." The Jets rusher says as he stands on a rock.
"What do you mean?" Alexis asks looking at the Jets rusher.
"No. It was foretold. You are here to help our people. Only with the power of the anticore reunited can we defeat Lord Zaktu." Belan says.
"Uh well don't we need all the pieces for that? We didn't find ours." Marty says sheepishly.
"We had to help the rusher." Melane says.
"Maybe if we put these together they'll lead us to the last piece." Ish says as he and Ricky put their pieces together they set off the traps set for the last piece as rock statues come to life.
"This definitely could hurt." Marty says as the statues surround them.
"This is not good guys." Ish says.
"Come on we can take em." Ricky says.
"Who gets the big one?" Troy asks.
"Alexis and I do. He's got the last piece of the anticore." Marty says.
"You're right. Take him you two. We'll get the others." Ish says as they then start fighting the statues destroying them until the only one left is the one with the anticore piece.
"Alexis, Marty use your weapons. It's the only way." Ish says.
"Got it." Alexis says as she looks back at Ish.
"If you say so." Marty says as he and Alexis dodge an attack from the statue and start using their weapons on the statue until they destroy it.
"We got it." Marty says as he gets the last piece.
"It's almost sunset." Troy says seeing the suns are starting to set.
"Put the pieces together. Channel the power." Belan says.
"Come on guys. Let's do this." Ish says as he, Ricky, and Marty are about to put the pieces together until the ground crumbles beneath them and they fall below.
"Where are we?" Tua asks.
"Nowhere good." Alexis says as she gets up.
"My trap. It was fairly simple to figure out where the last piece would be hidden. I've heard the legend all my life. So now if you don't mind give me the anticore." Lord Zaktu says as he and some guards surround the group.
"No way! What planet are you from!? Oh wait." Troy says as he looks at Lord Zaktu.
"Do you find humor in this situation. Surrender the anticore or the rushers are finished." Lord Zaktu says threateningly.
"The only one finished here is you! We're the ones with the power. Guys bring em in. Enter the rush zone!" Alexis and the others say together as Marty, Ish, and Ricky put together the last pieces enabling them to transform into their guardian forms and the power from the core send Lord Zaktu and his guards back a few feet.
"Did we do that?" Marty asks.
"Looks that way." Alexis says as Marty looks at her.
"Grab the anticore." Ash says as Belan then grabs the anticore.
"Yes. You've done it. You've converted the anticore for good." Belan says.
"I knew you would." The Jets rusher says happily.
"Let's find the rushers." Ish says as they then head back to the castle to find the rushers.
*Timeskip*
"How do we free them from this thing?" Tua asks trying to figure out how to free the rushers once finding them.
"First thing I always do is find the on and off switch. This looks like a good one." Marty says pulling a lever releasing the rushers.
"Seriously? I can't believe that worked." Troy says.
"Our people hated you for so long. I am so profoundly sorry." Belan says as he looks at the rushers.
"Now you know the truth. That's what matters." The eagles rusher says.
"Thanks to the Knights of the Sky." Melane says happily as she gestures to the guardians.
"I don't wanna bring anyone down but how do we get back home?" Ricky asks.
"As much as I've enjoyed the change of scenery I would very much like to go home." Alexis says.
"Use the anticore. We can open a temporary portal but we'll need a clear shot at the sky." The Jets rusher says as the group looks at him.
"There they are! Don't let them get away!" Some guards shout as the come running towards the group.
"Quickly to the mystic forest." Belan says.
"This way." Melane says leading the group to the forest.
*Timeskip*
"How can we leave you with Lord Zaktu still on the loose?" Ash asks once they stop in the forest.
"Do not worry. The truth has set us free. My people will rally against the years of oppression. Aided by the good of the anticore we can not fail." Belan says.
"I wish we could do more." Ash says.
"You have saved our way of life. Take this. A piece of Anticoria to keep with you always." Belan says as he gives Ash a necklace and she puts it around her neck.
"I grab these back in the castle. There's trouble at home. Big trouble." The Eagles rusher says holding the N.F.L.R's.
"We have to go." Ash says.
"Grab your N.F.L.R's and gather around." The Jets rushers say as he gives Alexis and the others back there N.F.L.R's.
"Goodbye Marty. I think you are a brave knight." Melane says.
"Thanks. And your an amazing anticorian." Marty says as he tries fist bumping with Melane but she knocks him back over to the others causing Alexis to grumble slightly.
"Hey don't worry. You'll always be my girl. No need to be jealous." Marty says as Alexis looks at him in a hurry.
"How did you-" Alexis then gets cut off by Marty.
"Troy and Ricky told me." Marty says.
"Huh. I'll get that back for that but good to hear." Alexis says happily as the portal appears and the group along with the rushers go back home.
"Guardians Unite!" Alexis and the others say as they start attacking Blitz Bots upon arriving back home.
"My necklace!" Ash says as her necklace deactivates the last of the Blitz Bots leaving only Sudden Death, Stellaria, Zich, and Angkoro.
"How is this possible!?" Sudden Death asks.
"Brought back a little piece of Anticoria with us." Ish says.
"You know nothing of the powers you toy with. I should've destroyed you years ago." Sudden Death says.
"But you didn't. Surrender!" Ish says.
"Never. I will strike back. You will regret having survived this day!" Sudden Death says as he, Stellaria, Zich, and Angkoro disappear and leave while later back at Ish's place the group fall asleep exhausted from their adventure.
