The Pro Football Hall of Fame, a shrine to the best players of all time, but also served as the secret headquarters of the Leagues Guardians. The five young players went down a small hallway of the HOF, which led to seemingly a mirror, but the Guardians knew it wasn't just a mirror. Adjusting their NFL-R's slightly a beam shone from them into the mirror, which allowed them to walk through the mirror and into the Hall of Knowledge, home to their leader, an holographic Artificial Intelligence head by the name of RZ.
"Greetings Guardians, I am sorry to pull you from your activities, but this is most urgent," he began, which got their full attention, "The Bears Rusher had reported Blitzborg activity near the stadium, while he was able to repeal the attack, I suspect we have only seen the first wave, I'm sending you all to Chicago to assist in clearing the area if needed.
"You got it, RZ, we'll take care of the Anticorians minions." Ish said confidently.
"Yea, nobody messes with my Bears." Tua said in a confident tone as he raised a fist for extra emphasis. Everybody else was confident as well, except for Ash, who seemed to have a confused look on her face.
"Is something wrong, Ash?" RZ asked the young female Guardian.
"I find it weird that the Anticorians are attacking now, wouldn't the Megacores not have much power yet since it's still the off-season?" she asked her leader, which caused RZ to chuckle slightly.
"Your not wrong, however the off-season presents a time of hope for ever team, whether it be re-signing a player, or adding a big name free agent, the cores harness the energy that comes from the hope. I believe that's why the Anticorians are trying to steal them now of all time," RZ explained, which got a head nod from all the Guardians, "Ricky is already in Chicago, you are the meet up with him and assist in clearing the area if needed, good luck Guardians." RZ said to his Guardians. All the guardians exchanged a silent look before raising their NFL-R's and giving the command, "Enter the Rush Zone!" and their clothes where immediately replaced by their Guardian armor.
In the back of the room lied portals to 32 destinations, each one would take you to a different team stadium, the Guardians went to the one with the Bears head over it and walked through. As they rode through the portal the Guardians had a lot on their minds, each of them where surprised that the Anticorians had ordered an attack on Chicago, for since they had disappeared shortly before they had beat Sudden Death, they had been in hiding, but they knew it was only a matter of time until they showed their ugly faces again, and it seemed that with the Bears Meagacore being charged by the hope of a brand new season, they couldn't resist the opportunity to try and steal it. However as they neared their destination, the guardians had no idea that something much worse than Anticorians and their Blitzborgs would be their waiting for them.
-Meanwhile-
Deep beneath the construction site in Canton, something sat watching.
It had carefully hacked into the security network of the Soldier Field stadium and was trawling through camera feeds. A screen lit up before the observing figure, illuminating a skeletal face plate of black metal.
On the security feed, Blitzborgs scurried through the stadium halls. The figure's eyes narrowed- it was familiar with Blitzborgs. Even if these were a different model, the Anticorian technology was unmistakable.
Then a new figure appeared on the security feet, Grizzly the Bears Rusher. He charged at the approaching Blitzborgs and plowed through them, scattering the murderous robots across the hall.
The figure tensed, clawed metal hands snapping into fists. A Rusher. Oh, how it despised Rushers. It had becomes suspicious upon discovering that football existed on this planet, and even more so upon recognizing the unmistakable feel of Megacore energy. But this removed all doubt.
The figure leaned forwards into the light of the screen. Black metal armor gleamed across its mechanical frame. It had been a living, breathing creature once. But now it had replaced every bit of flesh with unforgiving pistons and wires.
The figure looked away from its screen. It was seated on what had once been a great throne on the bridge of a powerful star cruiser. It had been able to hook itself up to the whole of the ship, and control it as an extension of its body. But now, crashed here on this planet, its capabilities had been severely reduced. All it had left was its specially made borgs.
But that was enough.
Behind the mangled throne stood thirty two massive pods, equidistant from each other.
With a blink, the figure wirelessly connected with one of the pods and activated it. The pod lit up in teal and orange, and unfolded to reveal a hunched, bulky form. It's eyes lit up blank white, and stood with a rumble, revealing a giant humanoid robot with the head of a bear.
The figure turned back to its screen, and the bear robot turned and began to march off of the star cruiser bridge, heading to the surface. For it would in moments be boarding a shuttle and heading of to this city, to accomplish it's goal, destroy the Rusher, and the Megacore at all costs.
-Meanwhile-
The Guardians had just exited the portal and now found themselves in Soldier Field, not to far away form the Bears Megacore vault.
"Looks quite." Ash said as she began to look around for any possible blitzborg activity.
"That's because you just missed the party." a voice called out to the guardians. They all turned to the right and saw Ricky leaning against the wall, still in his Guardian armor.
"The Anticorians themselves didn't show up, which meant defeating their borgs was almost to easy." the Mexican-American Guardian boasted in a confident tone.
"Glad you took care of yourself, Ricky." Ish said to his friend.
"Bears Rusher is still in the Megacore vault, I suggest we check in with him before we check the rest of the area." Ricky suggested to his leader, to which Ish responded with a nod of his armored head.
"Let's meet up with Grizzly and make sure there is no damage to the Megacore vault." Ish ordered his fellow Guardians, to which they responded by falling in behind their leader and following him.
"Good to see you, Guardians," the Bears Rusher greeted them upon them arriving at the Vault entrance, "nobody got through the vault door, and at first glance it seems like they didn't even get close." he said as he looked over the solid steel door that guarded the teams Megacore.
"We should still check on the Megacore just to make sure that nobody got through the door." Ish said to the Rusher, which caused him to nod his head in approval.
The rusher went up to the door and pressed a hidden button, which caused the doors to open with a mechanical hiss, and reveal the teams Megacore vault, which inside the vault, sitting on a podium protected by a blue force field sat what appeared to be a football, but it was no ordinary football, for it was dark blue and had the Bears logo on other side of it, and the ball glowed with a bluish white energy, it was the Chicago Bears Megacore.
"Looks like nobody got through," Marty said as he looked over the inner vault. "Finally we catch a break." Marty said with a huge grin on his face that nobody could see due to his Guardian armor. As soon as the words had left the Jewish Blondes mouth the ground above them began to shake.
"Me and my big mouth." Marty said with a groan as he and the other Guardians, and the Bears Rusher all took up a defensive stance in front of the Megacore. The ceiling above them gave way and in dropped a huge mechanical beast. Ish estimated easily over ten feet tall, it looked almost like a giant mechanical bear.
"Your not welcomed here!" Ricky shouted as he fired an energy blast form his fist at the mechanical beast, but the blast simply bounced off the beast like it didn't even bother him. The beast ignored the attack and began looking around, then it's eyes noticed the Bears Rusher. The mechanical monstrosity let out a deafening mechanical roar and charged, not at the Guardians, but rather at the Rusher.
Grizzly jumped in the air and tried to slash the beast across it's mechanical face, however the beast raised a paw and swatted him to the side like it was nothing, resulting in Grizzly flying into a corner at the edge of the vault. The beast proceeded to charge at Grizzly with furious anger, but Ish had other ideas.
"Defense engage!" he shouted as he raised his hands and an energy shield emerged and momentarily stopped the beast's advancement. However it did not last for long at the beast let out a roar and began to easily push Ish and his shield backwards as it tried to get to it's target. The other Guardians quickly got involved and activated their defense power up as well, which resulted in the beast no longer trying to move forward.
It stopped and seemingly just stood there looking over the Guardians, like it was confused. Then it's eyes narrowed and it emanated a smoke screen from it's mouth and disappearing behind a patch of concealing smoke.
The Guardians quickly got rid of the smoke, only to find that the beast had seemingly vanished all together.
"I don't know about you, but that was no Blitzbot or Blitzborg." Ash said as the rest of the Guardians agreed with her in a stunned silence, it was Grizzly who broke the silence.
"Thanks for the save, Guardians," he began with a serious expression on his face, "We need to return to RZ immediately and inform him of this right away." Grizzly ordered the Guardians. They all nodded silently and activated the passage back to the Hall of Knowledge, and went through it.
-Meanwhile-
The Mechanical Bear was now resting in it's pod upon returning to it's ship, which left the being controlling it, to ponder what had just happened. For it seemed the Rushers had associated themselves with the inhabitants of this world, and where using them to help defend their precious Megacores. It would take more knowledge before the next attack was launched.
