Okay! Now things are going to get wild now. We got stars we got guardians we got a battle next. This is the calm before the storm.
Also, the song 'Sing' belongs to Gary Barlow and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Part nine: Rising Army, calming hearts, and sounds of battle
London, England; Windsor Castle...
Pillage voice: *Muffled* YOU ARE ALL INSANE NOT TELLING US HE WAS ON A TICKING TIME BOMB!
The children wince hearing the rage in the Rusherz voice. They were told to wait in another room but needless to say the raider Rusher's voice carried.
Prince George: Louise, why is the Raider Rusher scolding them, they are royalty correct?
Lady Louise Windsor nodding, her and her brother having a bit more experience with the current situation.
Lady Louise: Yes, BUT remember Rusherz are quite powerful. Not by status mind you but in heart and soul, as well as those powers they have been gifted with.
Princess Charlotte: So this has happened before, with other high ranking people?
Viscount Severn James: Dignitaries, lords, emperors, even the US Presidents of the state the Core Rusher reside in are involved. At this point many people say it is a right of passage to be told off by a Rusher...Granted i believe this one also has a bit of him being 'tick off' due to the fact another Rusher of the Gridiron sport was here.
They all nodded.
In the other room...
Pillage: *Tick* Out of all the incidence you as Human got us involved in THIS ONE TAKE THE FLIPPIN CAKE!
Pillage was pacing back and forth venting as the adult Royals sat on the sofa and listen. They had told him the first time Cobra went red eye and hearing this, the Raider went off on a venting tangum. They knew this was going to be coming but even then they flinch sometimes, Efe Obada was even involved given how he had seen this first hand. Pillage stopped pacing and looked at them.
Pillage: *Serious* This. IS. SERIOUS. Going red eye and keeping that for that many years is FATAL. Your Queen, YOUR MOTHER, YOUR GRANDMOTHER, IS VERY LUCKY TO NOT ONLY SURVIVE BUT ALSO STOP A FULL ON BLOODBATH.
Pillage confirming what Cobra could have done that day made them pale, Efe Obada walking over and going down to Pillage.
Efe Obada: Pillage i don't think Cobra ever told them about the 'Red Eye Syndrome'
Pillage froze at that, but given the looks the royals made he knew they deserved to know.
Pillage: He never told you did he?
King Charles: About this 'Red eye syndrome', is it an illness or...something common to him?
Pillage: It's actually an ancient deadly instinct we Rusherz have. Before the core creation, we lived in complete darkness, just like the rest of the universe. We had to deal with the worse of the worse and needless to say, our rage was more common then.
The idea that Rusherz had been around for who knows but the creator above wasn't new, the idea that they can go on murderous rampages due to a ancient defense mechanism used against beings that the royal family was even frighten to think about, that was new and shocking.
Prince William: Okay...good to know now...wish we now told you sooner but-
Pillage stopped him, calming down from the explanation.
Pillage: You were all following the promise between the late Queen and Cobra, if anything what she did that day just proves she deserved the respect from us, even if we didn't know about that.
Those words touch the royal family. They were still mourning her lose, but hearing that the Rusherz held her in such regards cheered them up even if it was a little. Now though, as the Rusher had calm down the pressing matter was at hand.
Queen Consort Camila: Now what do we do about the invasion?
Pillage nodding, sitting across from them with Efe standing beside him.
Pillage: The Guardians were notified when I was coming here-
Prince Edward: Okay another thing, HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU GET HERE AND FROM THE SKY?
Pillage, blushed at that.
Pillage: Well-
Meanwhile...
James Corden: I SWEAR THIS IS NOT WHAT I MEANT BY SOME ACTION!
He along with a large group of people were STARING at the USA MILITARY FIGHTER PLANE that recently landed in the field. No driver, no words, just a small coin with the Raiders logo on it on the seat. Not just the residence were in awe, in a group a bits away several big stars were also here...as if they were called.
Elton John: *To James and the group they were with* Well one thing for sure the Rush Zone is definitely involved with something, whatever this something is.
Daniel Radcliffe: Right...you don't think it's about-*looks around before leaning in quietly* Cobra right.
They were about to contemplate when someone phone buzzed...Jacob Brent took his out and looked over the text..it was from Prince Edward.
We are about to be under fire by Lord Zatu's blitzborgs. Cobra was nearly killed if not for Pillage coming in. INNER KNIGHTS COME TO LONDON IMMEDIATELY.
Jacob Brent: Andrew, everyone...*shows the text to them*.
The entertainment stars eyes widen, before changing to determination nodding.
Andrew Lloyd Webber: Everyone, Windsor Castle immediately. And call all Football teams.
Back at Windsor Castle...
Pillage: *Nervous chuckle* -SO yeah, i may be getting an earful from Mark and Liberty for that.
The royal family were gobbed stopped.
King Charles: You ran into a military base, grabbed a military plane with high speed, short explanation to the military later you FLEW said plane here, and then made ti self land to JUMP OUT and help Cobra.
Pillage sheepishly smiled, before the king hand met his head still in shock.
King Charles: HOW. ARE YOU ALL. STILL SANE?
Pillage: Ask that question every time madness like this happens
The door quickly opened and a solider ran in.
Soldier: Pardon me your highness, But Cobra has gone missing!
All present: WAIT WHAT?!
King Charles: When?!
Soldier: Went to see if he was alright and the window was open, he was not there. Not sign of struggle so he left.
Fear had gripped everyone present...till the prince got up.
Prince William: Buckingham Palace Garden...he must of gone there.
Pillage immediately got up and ran off, Price William was about to follow but his father stopped him.
King Charles: Let him go my son... I believe Pillage might be able to talk to him. You and I both see that their bond has definitely grew in this short amount of time.
Prince William sighed and nodded.
Prince William: I do... I will say Father, fate had plan for those two to meet.
They saw a large amount of cars parking outside, the two crown royals looking at Prince Edward.
Prince Edward: If we're going to battle, we'll need more than just soldier for enemies like this.
Buckingham Palace Garden...
The rain had stopped but the storm clouds were still swarming. But even so, the Palace Garden was soothing as Pillage walked around. Sadly though there was no sign of Cobra when-
Cobra voice: *far off* Some words they can't be spoken only sung
So hear a thousand voices shouting love
Pillage stopped, looking around till he found the area where the voice was a bit loader.
Cobra voice: *far off* There's a place, there's a time in this life
When you sing what you are feeling
Find your feet, stand your ground
Don't you see right now the world is listening to what we say?
Pillage followed the voice to St James's Park, not to far from the palace. He he got close, the voice got closer.
Cobra voice: *bit closer as Pillage walks* Sing it louder, sing it clearer
Knowing everyone will hear you
Make some noise, find your voice tonight
Sing it stronger, sing together
Make this moment last forever
Old and young shouting love tonight
Pillage reach the St James's Park lake, looking around for Cobra. He had to be here his voice was so close yet so far-
Cobra voice: *Closer*To sing we've had a lifetime to wait (wind: wait, wait, wait)
And see a thousand faces celebrate (wind: together celebrate)
You brought hope, you brought life, conquer fear
No, it wasn't always easy
Stood your ground, kept your faith
Don't you see right now the world is listening to what we say?
Pillage eyes widen...across the lake under a large willow tree was Cobra, Pillage running to the tree..
.
.
Cobra: Sing it louder, sing it clearer
Knowing everyone will hear you
Make some noise, find your voice tonight
Sing it stronger, sing together
Make this moment last forever
Old and young shouting love tonight
Cobra eyes were red rim and tired, tears in his eyes as e few hit the water below.
Cobra: Some words they can't be spoken only sung
To hear a thousand voices shouting love and life and hope
Just sing; just sing; just sing; just sing
Cobra sniffled a bit, rubbing his eyes but not removing the tears.
Cobra: S-Sing it louder, sing it clearer
Knowing everyone will hear you
Make some noise, find your voice tonight
Sing it stronger, sing together
Make this moment last forever
Old and young shouting love tonight
Cobra took a breathe when-
Pillage: Hear a thousand voices shouting love
Cobra jumped and turned to see Pillage standing behind him, a calm but sorrowful smile on his face and sympathy in his eyes.
Pillage:..You have a wonderful singing voice.
Cobra: *Surprise* I-You as well, surprisingly a good alto.
Pillage chuckled quietly.
Pillage: Comes from those years living at the white house doing those Christmas Carols.
Pillage went over and sat next to Cobra, looking over the lake.
Pillage: It is lovely and calming here, i can see why you went here.
Cobra nodded, bringing his legs closer to his body.
Cobra: P-Pillage, i-i am so sorry for all-
Pillage: It's not your fault, i mean-you were holding all that in for years, sometimes you need to just let those emotions out.
Cobra nodded. It was silent between them for a bit when-
Pillage: You know i didn't take Al Davis death too well either.
Cobra uncurled himself and looked at Pillage.
Cobra: You were really close correct?
Pillage: Al was the father i never got back on Cordalion due to Sudden Death. *Turns to Cobra* You know what happened that season right?
Cobra paled a bit.
Cobra: Unfortunately...you as well as five other Rusherz, were Blitzed.
Pillage: Yeah...got Blitzed sending Al and his family away from the fray. *Chuckles a bit* He gave me ONE CREWING after i got back let me tell you. Things were getting back to normal...but well, then i got shot protecting Pick-Ax.
Cobra eyes widen as Pillage pulled down his shirt showing the scar that graced his shoulder.
Pillage: It's okay if you want to touch him.
Cobra was hesitant at first, but slowly touches the scar. He felt shivers up his spine, he could imagine how much that must of hurt.
Pillage: The Raiders thought this was the worse of it, but then...Al died while we all were in Texas for the game against the Texans. I-I did not take it well at all.
Cobra removed his hand from Pillage Scar.
Cobra: Did you at least make it in time for the funeral?
Pillage nodded.
Pillage: Yeah, i did...but, i didn't leave his grave right away. I was, there for a while...Cobra, tell me once again, the mourning period for Queen Elizabeth the II was ten days correct?
Cobra: *Nods* yes, there was a ten day mourning period, why do you-*realization hit him; shock* Pi-Pillage, were you AT HIS GRAVE FOR TEN WHOLE DAYS?
Pillage was quiet, but nodded.
Pillage: Didn't eat, or drink, fell asleep before the tenth day. I just-I felt i couldn't just LEAVE HIM. It wasn't until Mark sent Rampage over to get me that i was finally able to let it all sink in.
Cobra was shocked, and not just because of what Pillage told him.
Cobra: We're-We are more alike then i thought.
Pillage eye rose curiously.
Cobra: We both gone through shock, we both gone through the ringer with modern day journalism, for the crown's sake we both had gone through a 10 day period of losing the one we cared about!
Pillage look at Cobra...he was right. They had JUST MET not to long ago, and yet they had become close in that time. Pillage basically knew almost everything about Cobra's past at this point.
Cobra:m If anything, My lady and Al are probably exchanging tales about us with her husband and Madden right now-I just-*looks away* now i wish i knew you sooner.
Pillage was quiet...then he brought Cobra in a hug surprising him.
Pillage: *Soft smile* Well, we got all the time in the universe now to make up for it right.
Cobra tears fell, but he smiled as he hugged back.
Cobra: Y-Yeah...I- I would like that.
They were like this for a while.
.
.
.
Then they remember the conflict.
Both: DANG IT ENGLAND GONNA GET INVADED BY BLITZBORGS!
At Windsor Castle...
Ish: *In his guardian armor* Your highness, are you SURE you want to join us?
The Guardians, in armor, looked on. The royal family were in military attire, the looks of determination and a fire in their eyes present.
King Charles: Whatever the public might think of me, I REFUSE to have that monster ruin the country and commonwealth my mother and father held dear. We all are not backing down.
Walking outside, the army of soldiers, football players, figures of the court and entertainment stars from across the Commonwealth were present and battle ready.
King Charles: PEOPLE OF ENGLAND AND THE COMMONWEALTH! Today, the enemy of our allies of the Rush Zone has declared to conquer us as well! Like our Allies in America, We REFUSE TO LET THEM HAVE OUR WORLD, OUR LIVES! And after what they tried to do to Cobra, I have decree, WE WILL JOIN THE WAR TO PROTECT THE CORE!
The sound of agreements and battle cry was heard, echoing the sounds of rising Blitzborgs.
.
.
At that moment Cobra and Pillage went to the highest point of London seeing the army, both armies.
Pillage: Well, looks like their here...
Cobra: And em without a sword *facepalms*
Pillage opened Cobra's hand and places his sword in it, though still in half Pillage had hastily tied it together and had one of his spikes keeping it together.
Pillage: We'll find a permanently solution later.
Cobra eyes became determined as he nodded. This time, he will not let rage consume him.
Cobra: *Load* I CALL UPON THE CORE!
Cobra lept up as his arrow mark on his forearm glowed. His uniform became refined and more plates of armor appeared, touching his face a mask formed on him. But unlike the many years before, the full face mask was gone. Instead his mask is still armor like, but it was white with black detailed decal decorated in blue gems. He stayed floating in the air, offering his hand to Pillage.
Cobra: We're closer to the mainlands of England, we might be able to find that large one. But, I can't do it alone.
...Pillage smiled.
Pillage: *Grab's Cobra's hand* Wasn't gonna let you.
And with that Cobra took Pillage and flew off towards battle.
