Chapter 2: Battle of DC and Destruction of Omaha

After dinner, Ricky immediately went back into his room and lies back down on his bed, without saying his word. In fact, he haven't said a single word throughout dinner.

"Hey there, you haven't said a single word since dinner. What's wrong?" Robert asked as he enters Ricky's room.

"Robert?" Ricky asked as he turns his head. "Can you tell me what happen during your battle at DC?"

Robert sighed. "Are you sure you want to know?"

"Please, tell me! What happen to my mother during the battle?"

"Well…it started like this. When we knew the Faction is about to start their world conquest in helping United States dominate the world. Me and Yoruichi rally the rebels against the Faction that I had helped plan. But it was a doomed effort and many died on both sides."

"Why didn't you tell me this sooner?"

"I've hid it well, along with my shame. Oswald Donovan, the High Commander of the Faction, seized the city with full force. It was an aggressive change in the Nation that will soon bring the world to the Faction's power …"

Flashback

(Washington, DC, USA)

(3937 AD, 5 years ago)

Fire was burning everywhere in the city and dead Rebel Templars are lying everywhere around the burning city. Meanwhile, two templars were panting as they quickly ran up the stairs of the now-devastated White House. One of them was a man with long silver hair who looks like Robert and dressed in brown robes. The other was Yoruichi. They both stop running when they reached the top of the stairs and exhaled. They both turned their heads and watched the last remaining rebels trying to fend off the Faction troopers. However, most of them were easily defeated by two officers.

The first officer has long black hair, red eyes and wears a black uniform, grey gloves, black belt, black pants and black boots. His name was Hendrik Clayton, high general of the Faction.

The second officer wears a brown jacket, white shirt, grey gloves, grey pants, black boots and a grey mask. His name is unknown but he was referred as 'The Brute'. Yoruichi and Robert watched as the Hendrik and The Brute easily strike down the rebels with their swords as they climbed up the stairs while another officer walked behind them. The officer has black hair, red eyes and wears a red uniform, black belt, red pants, black gloves and black boots. He was none other than Oswald Donovan, the High Commander of the Faction.

"Captain, there's too many, we'll never defeat them. It's over!" Robert said to Yoruichi.

Yoruichi knew that the battle is loss and she sighed sadly. She turned to Robert and said, "Will you do me one last favor before I die?"

"What is it, Captain?"

"Go to Omaha and take care of my son Ricky. This is my address." Yorucihi takes out a piece of folded paper and hands it to Robert. "My son will be our last hope for peace in the future. Now go! Get out of this city! I'll hold them off until the end." With that, Yoruichi dashes to Hendrik and The Brute while Robert nodded and runs towards the White House.

When Robert enters the White House, he quickly closes the door behind him and dashes off.

Outside, Yoruichi groaned in pain as she fell to the ground with wounds on her body after she was easily struck down by the two officers. Oswald then steps forward and looked down at Yoruichi. "So, you are the one who killed most of my men." Oswald said as he takes out his Scimitar.

"Go ahead…and kill me. But this isn't over yet…One day…you will fall." Yoruichi uttered.

"Perhaps. But it is over…for you." Oswald then stabs his Scimitar at Yoruichi and Yoruichi screamed in pain.

Meanwhile, Robert kept running until he was meters away from the city. He stopped running and pants. He turns around and watched as the city continues burning in flames. Robert sighed and walks away from the city. He takes out the paper his Captain gave him, unfolds and reads it, then makes his way to the mentioned city his Captain told to take care of her son and future Rebel Templar.

End of Flashback

"Your mother was a brave woman. She defended our nation till the bitter end." Robert said in despair and sadness.

"She really said that I'm the world's last hope?" Ricky asked.

"Yes."

"Then I shall face the Faction. They must pay for my mother's death." Ricky said as he frowns.

"Your mother said you are important person. And that you must become a Rebel Templar like her. Here, take this." Robert said as he took out something wrapped with bandages.

"What is it?" Ricky said as Robert hands him the item. Ricky unwraps the bandages and revealed a golden sword with a brown hilt. "Wow." He said amazed.

"It's a Carsomyr Sword. A sword used by every male Rebel Templar." Robert explained.

Ricky looked up and said, "Then train me Robert, I wish to…" But before he could finished, Ricky and Robert yelp when they heard a huge explosion outside their house and Ricky's room walls crumble brick by brick. "What's going on?!" He and Robert looked out the window and saw a horrifying sight.

Faction ships are bombing their city!

'Faction?! Here?!" Ricky cried.

"Come on! Let's get out of here!" Robert said and he and Ricky left the room. As they left the room, Wall-E screamed and runs up to Ricky.

"Wall-E!" Ricky said as he carries his robot up and carries him in his arms as the robot shakes frantically in fear. Just then, Ricky and Robert looked up when someone slam open their house's door. It was Ben Tennyson.

"It's the Faction. They're everywhere…they're attacking our city!" Ben yelled as he walks over to Ricky.

"They must have somehow known that the last of the rebel templar lives here." Robert said.

"You mean…they're looking for me?" Ricky asked as he widens his eyes.

"Hurry! You guys leave this place." Robert then takes out his Carsomyr sword of his own.

"And you do what?! Fend them off by yourself?!"

"Do as I say! I promise your mother that I will protect you. I'm doing so right now! Go!"

Ricky paused for a moment, and then considered his guardian's advice. "Alright. But please, don't die." He said as he nodded. "Come on Ben, we're going."

"Okay. I sure don't want to die here." Ben said.

"Get to the garage and then take our Gummi Ship. Goodbye." Robert said as he smiled at Ricky one last time before he charges out of the house.

"Goodbye Robert. Thank you. Let's go!" Ricky said as he carried Wall-E and runs to the back of the house with Ben following him from behind.

Ricky and Ben reached the garage. Ricky puts Wall-E down and turn on the lights, revealing a small red Gummi Ship with arched wings sat in the middle of the garage.

"Do you know how to drive?" Ben said.

"Yeah, I think so. Robert did taught me how to a thing or two. Let's just get inside anyways." Ricky, Ben and Wall-E hesitated no further and the three got into the Gummi Ship. Ricky sits in the driver's seat while Ben sits on the passenger seat.

"Beeeepp?" Wall-E said as he crawls over to Ricky as he ignites the ship.

"Don't worry, Wall-E, we'll be fine." Ricky assured as he smiled at the robot. The rockets ignite and the ship lifted off from the ground. The garage doors then open and the Gummi Ship leaves the garage.

As the ship rose to the sky, Ricky and Ben looked down and watched their city now engulfed in flames. It was one of the most devastating sights they have ever seen.

Ben sighed and said sadly as tears formed in his eyes, "I don't even know if my cousin and grandpa will be alright."

Ricky puts a hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't worry Ben, we will come back here. I promise."

Ben sniffed for a moment and then turns to ricky. "Right. So now we need to go somewhere where we can rest."

"Alright." Ricky then turns back to the control and checks out the ship's star map. "There's a mining ship just a few kilometers away from our current position. Maybe we can rest there."

"But we don't know if we'll be authorized to get inside."

"Don't worry. I got a plan."

"Really?"

"No. But I'll just think along the way."

"Right." Ben said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes.

It wasn't long until Ricky and Ben's ship is near the mining ship which is a huge white and red ship. (Imagine it looks like S.S. Axiom. The ship from the movie Wall-E)

At the bridge of the ship, a ship officer named Edd (From Ed, Edd n' Eddy) spotted the Gummi Ship on his radar. "Sir, I'm picking up an unidentified ship at 2 o' clock. And it's approaching to our ship." Edd said to another officer named Juniper Lee. June looks at the radar. There's definitely a ship approaching her ship alright. June then puts on her headset.

"Hello ship, you're entering a restricted mining ship. Can we have your classification please?" June asked. However, the ship didn't respond. "Hello? Can you read me?" Still no answer.

"What should we do, ma'am?" Edd asked.

June let out a sigh and said as she turns away, "Let the ship in. When it lands, investigate it."

"Got it."

Back at the Gummi Ship, no one was at the cockpit at all. Why? Because Ricky, Wall-E and Ben were at the back of the ship. The two boys each clambered into a capsule pod in the ship's capsule room.

"Oh right. What a great plan. Let them investigate our ship while we get trapped into these capsules and wait until somebody wakes us up. Good one." Ben said sarcastically.

"Shut up Ben. It's all I can think off!" Ricky snapped. The two boys then felt that their ship has landed into the mining ship. "Alright, get in. Wall-E, freeze us up."

Wall-E nods and when Ricky and Ben both lied down in their respective capsules, Wall-E rolls over to the control and presses some buttons. The pods' lids then sealed shut and the sedatives in the tubes put the two boys asleep.

Wall-E turns his head when he heard some noises coming from the cockpit. Wall-E then quickly transforms into his box form and the three wait…
