More samurai clashes coming your way.

And Alex, I'm still enjoying your reviews to this story and the others, including that last one you sent. No Garrett's not a robot of kind, haha. He's still the same character from my Ask C series though he has fought more robots than any hero would, and his right hand did get replaced a cybertech hand once…so yeah, maybe that counts.

Speaking of heroes, I didn't know you've seen Big Hero 6. Or was that just the trailers you were referring to?

SCENE VI - MORE TRUTHS

Jumping and sneaking through the roofs, Samurai Al, Garrett, and the rest of the team were heading back to their temporary home, reaching near the doors, the tunnel, and sealing the way in so Talon and his followers wouldn't get them. After finally reaching back to their hideout, the six birds noticed that everyone was okay, but didn't seem to get anybody.

"Oh my. Everybody seems to be getting weaker from the virus. Guys, see if you can help them out. Me and Sebastian will work on finishing the cure, okay?" Garrett ordered and everybody nodded. He and Sebastian went back to the lab room and were on it. Garrett didn't even finish half of it yet, but it didn't matter as he and his friend were on it while the others were aiding the victims.

Mikka and Lyra were given comfort, like blankets, to the children and their pets.

Leo was helping do the same with the adults and also gave them food and water so they wouldn't feel sore.

Al pretty much did both. He was helping the children and the adults. To his eyes, he really saw that nobody was looking good. People's feathers were molting, their eyes were looking pink, they were coughing too much, and felt too weak to stand up. The virus was pretty strong but thankfully for them it wasn't enough to kill them. They were safe so far.

One hour later, everything was still the same until Al noticed his canine companion from earlier being comforted and slowly scratched by a young chick. So he walked up to him.

"Hello." Al kindly greeted.

"Hi, mister." The boy sounded pretty weezer but Al heard him perfectly.

"I see this little fella came to you. Is this your dog?"

"Yep. His name is Hatchi."

"Oh."

"My friends said that a while ago they saw you bringing him in here before Garrett brought you into his lab. Thanks for getting to me. I lost him while me and my family were being brought here."

"You're welcome. It was my pleasure to help. I…I just hope I can still help everyone besides my new team."

He looked around and had that "fear the worst" feeling again, but looking back at the kid and dog did give him hope. Hope and self-sacrifice. Those were three words that he remembered Garrett telling him, the very keys that Al has been using ever since Aku banished him into future. Those were keys that he now wanted to hold on to in order to help the people in need. So he continued helping them.

For Sebastian and Garrett, they continued working. The cure was almost complete, though Sebastian didn't seem to feel that way. Garrett actually noticed his feeling better than anyone would think due to his super senses.

He sighed, "Sebastian? I can tell you're upset. But I said I was sorry and I don't wanna dwell on this."

"Oh really? Garrett, I don't wanna be upset but I'm just shocked. You're basically an alien and had these things you never told us about that could've helped us out a long time ago. Why didn't tell us?"

"To avoid a scene like this. Plus the tech I have would make challenges like this too easy."

"Too easy?"

"Yes, too easy. I'm not someone who can just treat everything like it's a video game with easy cheat codes. These are real things that we need to deal with ourselves and use what we have not what we want."

Sebastian didn't saying anything, but did dwell on how right Garrett was. Heck, maybe what Garrett had wasn't going to be enough to take down Talon. All they could do was focus on what they had. So Sebastian breathed, and sighed before saying, "Maybe. I just hope nothing bad will happen."

"I promise you, things will turn up. And I know I betrayed you guys…but I want you to know that I do trust you guys and you are good friends to me. Just like the friends of my past."

"Oh yeah. You once told us about those guys. How each of them were fighters like us. And you always told us how they never gave up on you or the things they believed in what was right."

"That was something I was honest about. You guys are a lot like them, and I know that you can be and become more with how much teamwork you've all shown together…even before I came here."

More words that sounded right to Sebastian. So he smiled.

"Thanks, G. I'll…I'll keep that in mind. And thanks for saving my life, by the way. When you said you saved from falling off the stairs after Talon shot me."

"You're welcome, buddy."

They both smiled, and from one spot closest to the lab, Mikka, Lyra, and Leo heard the whole thing. Hearing words of sincerity like that made them trust Garrett again. So with that in mind, they all went back to work, and for the two birds in the lab, things were progressing extremely especially since Sebastian was about ready. The cure was nearly done, until they heard a sudden racket. It sounded like a large gun and it came from the tunnel to the entrance/exit. Everyone gasped, and Garrett ran out of the lab and looked into the tunnel.

"What in the world?" He whispered, and looked awfully close. The other end was pretty far from where he was standing but with his senses he was able to see Talon and his goons perfectly. Garrett was shocked but was able to use his MCs for a special mission on that. He ran up to the others.

"Garrett, what's happening?" Mikka asked.

"Talon and his goons are here!"

"What?"

"Do you folks have another way out for these people?" Al asked.

Leo spoke up, "Actually yeah we do! There's another exit on the other side. It was the original entrance before we made this, so now I think it'll do good."

"Then let's work getting everybody out. Because I feel like it's gonna take a while for them to get here." Garrett said.

"How do you figure that?"

Garrett pointed to the tunnel with a sly look, and that was when more gun sounds went off before they were added with screams and pound noises. Talon and the others were being slowed down by these tall multiple exoskeletons made up of the MCs. That looked like a big ambush that Garrett created a while ago. "What the heck!" "Hey!" "Ow!" Those goons were given a real beating. Garrett said to the gang, "Right now they're dealing with some guardians and traps I put up a while back. But don't worry they'll only fight Talon's creeps. Now let's go!" Another surprise from that bird, but they understood their opportunity so they took it. They helped all of the infected stand up and walked to the other exit. They were slow but pushing them wasn't the best idea so they did the best they could to help them get out. An evacuation that was almost as large as the one from earlier.

The good guys evacuated the civilians, and were successful. So were MC Guardians for since they were made from nanotech they couldn't be destroyed by anything of Talon's claws or his men's lasers. But eventually they did make it through, and once they did…

"Garrett! Guys!" Al yelled. "You all need to help the people get out of the city. All fight Talon fight off."

"What without us?" Sebastian said.

Leo, "Not a chance."

Then Garrett, "Yeah. You guys need to go and I'll stay."

"What?"

"We'll handle it. You know Samurai Al well, right? And I have more fighting experience then you can give me credit for. Trust me."

A moment of silence and processing. They all had a chance to work together and save everyone, so they took it. They went off while Garrett and Al stayed behind, and once they met up with the bad guys, they fought hard.

Al used his martial arts to kick the goons off, and used his magic sword to slice all their helmets and lasers. Every time he would use that thing it would look like a moment of witnessing a legend.

Garrett used the MC in his suit as his own web shoots and ock arms to throw the goons across the room or make them stick around.

The whole fight was a big one, lasting just long enough for everybody to get out. Then after twelve minutes, Talon got into a good spot, and pointed his laser at me. He wasn't able to notice, but Al did, and he couldn't yell it out to warn him, so he took a good look at Talon. He had fire in his eyes, full of hatred, and was ready to pull the trigger. Once he did, Al froze in fear, seeing the blast fly through the air and feared that Garrett not survive a blast like that. So with his own spunk, he ran through the crowd hard and jumped.

"GARRETT!" He yelled, for once he leaped, he knew what would come next. Garrett heard him and noticed him getting in front of him…before the blast lunged onto his shoulder. "Ah!" Al yelped, and Garrett became shocked. Al took a bullet for him. "Al!" He helped him stand and saw the scorch mark on his shoulder. Thankfully since it was just shoulder, that blast wouldn't kill him. But seeing Al in pain made Garrett suddenly feel responsible. So he looked through the crowd and saw Talon on the pedestal. Now wanting to get angry, Garrett stood up (after quickly placing Al on a safe spot) and ran through everyone like he was a bull and with total speed.

Seeing that much anger began to make Talon start to fear the worst so he threw the laser away and struggled to reach into his pockets for something. Garrett didn't care what it was, he just wanted to hit Talon hard, and once he got almost a few single inches closer to him, Talon pulled out a small trigger right in front of him. The look of it made him.

"What the?" Garrett questined. "What is that for?"

"It's meant to remind us that you're not the only one with nanotech." Talon pushed the button and Garrett heard loud struggling. He turned around and saw Al hovering in the air like a poltergeist was controlling him.

Garrett gasped and understood it. That blast Al took to the shoulder had a small canister with nanobots, enough of them to control someone from the inside.

Author's Note: Like Blood Bending from Avatar.

Which also explained how Talon found the hideout. He shot Sebastian earlier with the same weapon, so there must have been nanobots inside of him too and Talon put trackers on them. Garrett thought all of that, and Al screams made everyone stop fighting. He became even more mad, and tried to grab the trigger but Talon threatened to hurt Al if he tried anything dumb.

"Don't even think about it." Talon said. "I order you to surrender now. You do anything to me, and your friend gets to be my puppet for the rest of his life." Garrett understood, and did have one thought in mind for later. So he said, "COMP, deactivate all of the Guardians. Now." Then a voice came out, "Okay. All guardians are shutting down." That was what happened. Each and everyone of Garrett's MC Guardians turned off and looked like they were melting or turning to dust when really they were falling apart because the bots holding each of them were just scattering and returning to Garrett's sleeves (literally).

"There. I surrendered, you jankish mook." Garrett firmly said, "Now put my friend down GENTLY!"

"Gladly." Talon smiled and settled Al on the ground. Garrett came to him and helped him up. "You okay, buddy." "I-I think so. I don't think I've experienced pain like that before in a long time." "Well don't worry. I'm gonna fix this." "Save your energy, twerp." They turned to face Talon. "Now that you so called warriors are my prisoners, you're going to help me with something." "Help you? With what?" "Let me show you." One of Talon's men gave him a touch screen that was playing a live video feed. And the picture was one of shocking news.

"What? Those people." Garrett was surprised to people inside these tubes where they were stuck in suspended animation. "Those are the people that-"

"You thought were terminated? They aren't. Those people as of right now are alive and well. They were never killed, they were teleported to a space port on the moon. A place where tyrants like Aku could never find them."

"But I thought-"

"What you saw was teleportation technology from my lasers. I built them myself. And what you heard were the words of people that gave into their fear, pride, and pathetic ignorance!"

"What? If you actually saved all those people then why did you unleash that virus and convince everyone in the Quarantine System to get everybody that got infected?!"

"Because even the workers here were sick of how this program worked. Even they thought that they had to kill the infected when really they were being tricked by the boss of this place. Or at least the former boss. Since I gave him a taste of his own medicine just last week. I teleported him to the moon just two days ago, and when I informed the workers who wanted to listen to me, they decided to make me the boss. And get this, the man who use to be in charge of this program worked for Aku!" Garrett and Al were shocked by all of this news. "The very demon that has been terrorizing this world for millenniums! When I found about this whole thing, I decided to do something about it. I teleported the boss away, convinced everyone to follow me, and tried to launch this virus so I could continue the rest of my plan."

"And that is?"

"To get everybody out of the way as I build a machine. A machine that could be the world's ultimate weapon. The very weapon that is powerful enough to destroy Aku, once and for all!" Words that peeked Al's interest.

"Destroy Aku?"

"Yes, and if you ask me what I hope to gain from all of this then here's your answer. I destroy Aku and the world goes the way it wants to be after the people choose me to their new leader. Leader of the world."

All of that was a lot to take in. Talon appeared to be less of a bad guy, all people that were claimed to be dead turned out to be alive and well, and Talon claimed to have something that would bring about the end of the nightmare to not just everyone on earth but to Al as well. Garrett thought a plan like that was pretty crazy. Something like that was an everyday thing for him, and Al…a plan, that someone looked like he was sure would destroy Aku, like that was big a d felt like it was something worth pulling off. But…looking at everything that Talon did, how the people were completely ill, how the people who were thought to be dead were really offworld and imprisoned, and how Talon wanted to be leader after saving everyone…? It didn't feel right, and didn't feel like something Al wanted to be a part of.

Now what's everyone's opinion on Talon? Good guy all along, or no different from Aku with that kind of motive?
