Part seven: Viva Las Vegas, random 80s...clock ticking
Cobra was snuggled in the pillow as The door creaked open. He slowly opened his eyes as turned over, seeing Pillage and promptly getting up.
Pillage: Morning.
Cobra was confused, then chuckled.
Cobra: Remembered where I am...Morning Pillage.
Pillage: Seems you slept well after out talk.
Cobra: Yes, I have. Was quite pleasant.
Pillage smile grew.
Pillage: Take your time getting ready, breakfast is ready when you are.
Cobra: *smiles* Thank you.
Pillage left and with that Cobra get ready.
Meanwhile in London...
So far things were...okay. It was still not great with recent events but, it could have been worse. There were many, many changes going on in the country and the commonwealth. Not to mention there was the back and forth on the royal family whether it was a good or bad thing. Either way, change was inevitable..as well as the DVD that was place in front of Windsor castle addressed to the new king.
Meanwhile in Las Vegas...
Cobra had to admit, he was a little intimidated being the the location where one of THE MOST DANGEROUS FAN BASE IN SPORTS were. Here he was, in the stadium of the black and silver.
Cobra: I feel i should be wary of what i say or I'm going to get a black eye.
Pillage: Not with me around no. If anything they better be wary of me. Last time they did something crazy was years ago and i got a stitched up shoulder to prove it.
Cobra winced hearing that, that was something not to talk about for now.
Pillage: Yeah...the veterans were NOT HAPPY. Never in my life have i heard so many curse words from both Al AND John.
Cobra snorted as he thought of that. Just that line brought back memories.
Pillage: I take it you had experience as well.
Cobra smiled and nodded.
Cobra: Separate events and blanks-
Pillage: *Remembers* OH YEAH! I remember seeing that on the news way back in the 80s!
Cobra: Oh yeah-1980s.
June 1981...
All was going well on he and his lady's ride in the birthday parade on The Mall, Queen Elizabeth riding Burmese while he rode one of the small horses. They had just left fifteen minutes ago and all was going well-
BANG! BANG BANG!
Cobra immediately drew his sword jumping off running over to where a teen was being tackled by both officer and citizen.
Queen Elizabeth: *Load; still a bit shell shocked* We're all fine!
Cobra sighed, even if she did not show it he could tell the Queen was worried for her husband and son who were riding along with them.
Cobra: *To officer* Thank gosh this thing is a blank.
He thought that would be it-
October 1981, Dunedin, New Zealand...
Cobra: NOPE!
Even though the aim was off, Cobra fast and with a bit of strength moved Queen Elizabeth away. Immediately the officers went into action and found the shooter, this one having a rifle with ACTUAL BULLETS.
Queen Elizabeth: Pardon me Cobra?
Cobra then saw his grip tightening around the Queen and let go quickly.
Cobra: Instinct, sorry.
Queen Elizabeth: Good instinct to have.
Cobra sighed calming his racing heart.
Cobra: I would rather you have your 'cat fights' with that women than you giving me two heart panics in a year my lady.
The queen could not help but smirk and chuckle at that.
Queen Elizabeth: You just enjoy the process and idea behind it.
Cobra :*Sly smile* You be polite and regal in public but give you a pen or an opening and you can get quite cheeky my lady.
Queen Elizabeth: Gee, i wonder why?
They both chuckled a bit before getting back.
Present...
Pillage: Assassination attempts, that lady who was constantly back and forth with her-
Cobra: And Fagan-
July 9, 1982...
Cobra: *opens the Queens chambers* Good morning My lady, i have the schedule-
Cobra stood speechless as Paul Whybrew (the dog walker) and two policemen appeared behind him. A man he had never seen before was in the Queen's room, the Queen looking at the group.
Cobra: -*Shock; anger; To the man* WHO THE BLOODY $# %$ ARE YOU?!
Present, Allegiant Stadium...
Cobra: *bit red* Had to apologies for my fowl language there
Pillage was howling with laughter at that.
Pillage: THAT. WAS. GLORIOUS! You sounded like a protective father or brother!
Cobra flushed more in embarrassment, but he was smiling.
Cobra: I practically became family before that time so yes, i was being very protective.
Pillage calmed down as he and Cobra entered the heart of the stadium. Cobra looked around and was in awe.
Cobra: The workers did a wonderful job...
Pillage: They sure did...but, i got a personal favorite.
He gentle grabbed Cobra's hand and lead him to, what Cobra could see, a brilliant torch lit with a flame top. It was 85 feet with in 26 tall, raising above the main concourse. One word was on it, "AL".
Cobra: *Awe* Incredible. This is, for Al Davis.
Pillage nodded walking over and touching the torch, a look of longing in his eyes.
Pillage: First thing they worked on, first blueprint they showed me.
Cobra walked over and placed a hand on Pillage's shoulder.
Cobra: *slowly smiles* It's a beautiful tribute to a man who has done so much.
Pillage smiled at Cobra. The two definitely noticed the kinship grow between them...and the ground suddenly shoke.
Cobra: E-Earthquake?!
Pillage: *Sees Three shadows outside* no...trouble.
Pillage grabbed Cobra and ran outside.
Outside...
Pillage: CODE BLITZ, CODE BLITZ, WE GOT THREE ANTICORIAN ROUGES! SEND THE GUARDIANS!
Cobra took out his sword and Pillage reveled his spikes as the reached outside, seeing a small crowd of people. Cobra looked around...and his eyes went red seeing a group of tabloids.
Tabloid person 1: Look at this! This will certainly give us a boost!
Cobra then heard Pillage tackled a Blitzborg, so he turned his attention to the three Anticorians.
Cobra: Angkoro, Stellaria, Zich. Three of Lord Zatu most faithful.
The three looked down seeing the red eyed Rusher.
Angkoro: So, this is the Queen's Rusher. Cobra correct? Didn't think those talks were true.
Cobra paled at that.
Cobra: What do you mean?
Pillage got up after taking down the Blitzborg, seeing it was only one, turned and saw the confrontation.
Stellaria: Those Tabloid journalist really love giving details.
Pillage: What?
Stellaria: We heard about EVERYTHING, heard about how the Queen and her family was warned about a 'feeling', a warning about a certain engagement and not to fall to those " Greed eating Tabloid".
Pillage felt his blood run cold...Cobra was red eyed, he was glaring at any Tabloid journalist, and it clicked on a important point; WHO COBRA BLAMED.
Angkoro: I look forward to what they will say when we take over the country.
Cobra eyes shrunk, his face turning to anger, and he lept in the air and flew off. Pillage was speechless, but his face turned to determination as he ran off to the military airport fast. He knew where Cobra was going...and he's going to follow.
Meanwhile, England
King Charles face had never paled like that in years. The content of the DVD was more to prove his fears true of when his mother passed...
King Charles: Alert my family and the military at once...England and the commonwealth is being targeted by the fiends against the Guardians.
To be continued...
Pray for me next chapter...we're taking about the 1990s in England.
