"Here you go, Pack , Pick Ax." Ash said as she handed the Rushers their respective Megacores.

"Thank, Ash, I'll take this back to where it belongs." Pick Ax said as he walked over to the 49ers portal and walked through it.

"Same here, this will be much safer at the Stadiums vault." Pack said as he went through the Packers portal, leaving the room with only RZ and his Guardians in it.

"I'm glad we where able to return the Megacores so quickly." Ash said in a confident tone as Ricky gave her a fist bump.

"Yea, but I'm a little troubled by why we saw at the warehouse." Ricky said which caused the red headed Guardians smile to drop instantly.

"Ricky is right, what happened there is most disturbing. A similar type of mechanical beast, similar to the one you encountered in Chicago also happened to show up at the warehouse, this is not good." RZ said as he continued to analyze security footage from the warehouse. "These beings did not seem to be interested in the Megacores, they went there solely for the Anticorians." RZ said as he closed down the security footage.

"What makes you say that, RZ?" Ish asked from his laying position on his hard light bed, Ish and the other several Guardians where still recovering from the beat down suffered by Angkoro.

"I've analyzed the tape multiple times, and I've become aware to the fact that when those two giants arrived, they ignored the cores, and instead attacked the Anticorians, they showed little to no interest with the Megacores." RZ lectured to the six Guardians.

"If they don't want the Megacores, then what's their game?" Troy asked form his sitting position on his hard light bed.

"Unknown at this time, but I suspect we will learn more as this new threat makes itself more and more visible." RZ said, which caused all the Guardians to nod their heads in approval.

"What's our next move, RZ?" Ash asked her leader, which caused his head to turn and look at her.

"For now we do nothing, it is late, I recommend you and Ricky head home for the night and get some rest, the others will be staying here for the night to make sure nothing comes from their injuries." RZ informed the two standing Guardians. They nodded and silently left the Hall of Knowledge, leaving the other four injured Guardians to simply lay down on their beds and get ready for the night.


-Meanwhile-

Underneath the cold soil of the construction yard, the being who had dispatched the mechanical behemoths sat there watching a monitor that sat in front of the giant throne. Upon it's two mechanical beasts returning from their mission, the being that had been controlling them had hacked into this worlds internet, and was trying to find out more about these so called 'Guardians.' It had not taken long before it found the information that it desired.

The football teams, or the NFL's 32 teams each had an object known as a Megacore that held enormous power. Apparently Sudden Death had come to this world to steal that power, but had been destroyed by the first Guardian. The thought of Sudden Death being destroyed made the being smile, for it hated all Anticorians. Then however a new villain had emerged, a man wearing a purple, black and silver armor, similar to Guardian armor known as Wildcard.

Wildcard began a Crusade to steal all 32 Megacores, although the reason could not be found on the internet. His attacks led to the rise of five more Guardians, making six of them in total. They had battled Wild Card constantly, until one day Wild Card actually won, and managed to drain the energy of all 32 Megacores, and 33 cities. However after that he just seemingly vanished, and the Guardians where still around. What had happened to Wild Card, and why had he been defeated when victory seemed almost certain, the being wondered.

It seemed however that Sudden Death was not dead, had rebuilt himself, and resumed his attacks, and had now been joined by three more Anticorians, the being recognized them as the same ones from the attack on the warehouse. The Guardians had to now battle Sudden Death and his Anticorian idiots to defend their precious Megacores. The battle went on for several months until Sudden Death's minions disappeared and Sudden Death had once again been destroyed, hopefully for good the being thought.

Now just recently it seemed the Anticorians had resurfaced, and they where not once again attacking the Megacores. The being sighed as it finished reading all possible data. While it knew a lot about the Anticorians, it would still need more information on the Guardians if it was to get them out of the way. But the being knew it was only a matter of time...
