Chapter 14

Few months passed, the MBF5 were training very hard and they're getting mastering their mutations. And just few weeks ago, the MBF5 were having fun with their pets. The team were doing fun with their pets until Sage's voice throughout using the P.A. system, "Mutant Battle Force 5, report!"

The team rushes to the Hub's command station and as they got there, "I detected Sentient artifact in the Ruin Zone." Sage said, "What kind of artifact, Sage," Vert asked Sage shows the team with a holographic image. The artifact is a stone with blue pattern lines, "This artifact is hidden somewhere in the Ruin Zone. But you must be careful while you're in the Ruin Zone. It has a guardian and its guarding the artifact," Sage said, "Got it. Let's roll, everyone!" Vert said and rush to his Saber.

The MBF5 were now across the Salt Flats and a StormShock is open as the team went through it. As they arrived the Ruin Zone, the zone looked to be a city for thousands of years and there's a temple right to the top, "Whoa… this place looks… cool," Zoom said as he look around the abandon city in awe, "The artifact should be within the temple," Sherman informed, "But Sage told us that there's a guardian inside the temple guarding the artifact," he added, "Gotcha. Okay let's move." Vert and his team drive toward the temple.

As they enter, they look around their surroundings. "This place looks very ancient," Stanford said, "It does, Stan." Agura said, "The artifact should be inside the other side the room," Sherman said, the team went in the room and the room was very large then Stanford caught something in his eyes. "Hey. Is that it?" He asked as he pointed his finger.

What Stanford pointing at was the artifact sitting its place, "Guess we found it really quick," Vert said, "Okay, let's take that artifact to Earth and-" he sentence was cut off when he and his team heard a stomping noise, "Uh… what was that?" The young mutant scout asked, "I dunno… But I don't like it," Spinner whimpered in fear.

Suddenly the wall was smash through by a stone giant armor with a stone axe on its hand, "What is that," Agura exclaimed, "That must be the guardian," Sherman said, the stone giant armor raise its axe and brings down towards the team. They quickly drive away before the giant axe collide the ground stone, "Whoa! Almost chomped man!" Zoom exclaimed, "We gotta distract it. Zoom grab the artifact. Stanford and I, we'll keep the rock head busy." Vert ordered.

Vert and Stanford dove towards the stone giant armor as it rise its axe bring it down again, "Watch out!" Stanford shouted as he quickly turn left, the stone axe almost hit the Reverb, "Stan, let's fused to SonicSlash!" Vert said as he brought out the Binary Fusion Pod. Vert shot the Binary Fusion Pod creating a fusion-vortex.

The Saber and the Reverb drove through the fusion-vortex, Vert and Stanford then yelled out a battle cry, "Unite and Strike!" Their vehicles are now combined into SonicSlash. Stanford active the sonic cannons and fires a multiple of sonic blasts. The stone giant armor is hit and swung his giant stone axe, "Whoa!" Vert exclaimed in shock and quickly turn to the right as the giant stone axe almost hit them, "Way too close," Stanford said relief.

"Zoom grab the artifact now!" Vert said, "I'm on it!" The young mutant scout drives towards the artifact, he swiftly grabbed the artifact. "I got the artifact!" He shouted, "Okay! Let's get out of-" Vert was cut off when the giant stone axe hit the side of the SonicSlash which cause to send flying toward the wall. The SonicSlash collided the wall and fell to the stone ground.

"VERT! STANFORD!" Agura, Zoom, and Cortez Bros yelled worrying of their teammates after a great hit from the stone giant armor. Agura turn to face the Cortez Bros, "Sherman, Spinner take down that stone giant armor," she ordered them and they nodded, Sherman press a button from his controller of the Buster. A bomb was fired and was sent toward the stone giant armor. The bomb exploded and stone giant armor shattered into thousands of pieces, "Alright! We beat it," Spinner yelled in victory, "No time to celebrate yet big bro," Sherman said.

Agura exit out her Tangler follow by Zoom and Cortez Bros. As they reach the damage SonicSlash, "Vert, Stanford can you guys hear me?" Agura called out but no response which worries the rest of the team, "C'mon! Vert, Stanford say something!" Zoom shouted and this time the windshield opened as Vert and Stanford climbed out the SonicSlash. The team let out a sigh of relief, "Oh, thank goodness. Are you guys okay," Spinner asked.

Vert and Stanford look at their team with… blood streaks on the left side of their faces just over their left eyes. Agura, Zoom, and Cortez Bros cringed when the see the blood streaks, "Whoa… are you two okay," Zoom asked Vert and Stanford just groan in pain, "I guess… no."

The MBF5 return to Earth, Sherman gave the artifact to Sage while the rest of the team are in the Medical room pitching up to their wounded team members. Agura carefully wipe off the blood which made Vert to flinch in pain, "Owww… be careful," he said, "Sorry. But hold still this won't hurt a bit," the mutant huntress leopard said, "Ouch. Be careful, Tezz." Stanford said when Tezz wipe off his blood, "Sorry," the mutant wolf teen apologized.

In few minutes passed, Vert and Stanford are now recover but only a visible scars are left behind by the stone giant armor, "How you guys feel?" A.J. asked them, "We're fine now. Don't worry," Vert said, "Good to hear it. But those scars you got from that stone giant armor. They look great on ya," Spinner said, "Thanks. I never have a scar before," Vert joked, "Yeah, me too." The serpent teen added.

"Yeah. And Grace is gonna wonder where you got that scar if she sees it," Zoom said, "I'll just tell her… about a small accident," he said, "Anyway, we should rest now. We'll have another training tomorrow," Vert said and his team agreed.

I have no idea why I put scars on Vert's and Stanford's left eyes. But anyway I thought it would be cool having a scar. Next chapter will be up soon.
