The Guardians were playing a round of football. So far nothing had happened to their knowledge, most of their friends gone on vacations so it was just the six of them. Kinda nostalgic for them.
Ish: Sure has been quite lately.
Ricky: They have to be planning something, they can't stay hidden forever. I'm still in shock over what was on the news last night.
Marty: Yeah, were there any updates on what happened?
Troy: Not much, just it was a bloodbath over there. Not a single sign of life.
Everyone cringed at that.
Tua: Seriously, what kind of person does that?
Ash: I don't-
Their NFLRs pinged as RZ appeared.
RZ: Guardians, can you please come to the HOK at once. There is something we need to discuss.
Ricky: Alright...RZ, is everything alright? You sounded, worried.
RZ: It will all be explained once you get here.
They nodded and headed off, wondering what was going on to make even RZ uncertain.
HOK...
Liberty: Alright...you can do this...just, tell them what's going on...simple right...*groans as he covers his face* This is going to be bad.
RZ: Liberty, i understand you worries. I am worried about how they will react too, but we need to make sure this foe is stopped before more lives are lost.
Liberty took a breath in and out.
Liberty: Y-Your right.
Ricky: RZ.
Liberty looked up seeing the Guardians walking over. He swore he could feel a pit in his stomach.
RZ: Welcome Guardians, i assume you heard of what had happened last night.
Ash: Yeah, it sound horrible. You know what might have happened?
Liberty nervously chuckled as he rubbed his head, his eyes darting back and forth as he fell into a cold sweat. This was noticed by the Guardians as they saw him.
Troy: Um, Liberty. Do you know what happened?
Liberty: Um...yes. I-have an explanation for that...unfortunately.
Tua: Unfortunately?
Liberty gulped.
Liberty: Yes. You see...
Liberty closed his eyes as he just spilled everything out.
Liberty: *Fast speech* SOAR WAS ATTACK LAST NIGHT BY AN ATICORIAN GUARDIAN WANNABE THAT NEARLY KILLED HIM WHILE LEAVING BODIES OF AN ANTICORIAN ARMY AND STOLE THE MEGACORE THEN ATTACK THOSE MEN WITH MAGIC AND WEAPONS KILLING THEM AND NOW HE'S OUT ON THE LOSS WANTING OUR BLOOD FOR WHO KNOWS WHAT PLAN HE HAS AND WE DON'T KNOW IF ZATU SENT HIM OF NOT AS WELL AS THE FACT I WAS WORRIED ON IF THAT THING WILL KILLED YOU OR YOUR FAMILIES!
Liberty panted as the sweat fell and the panic rose...one look said it all, horror.
Ricky: Pardon what?
Marty: You mean an Anticorian was the one who killed those men?!
Liberty nodded in agreement.
Ash: Is Soar okay?
Liberty: He is, needs time to rest but he's alive...however..um, we have another issue.
Ish: What is it?
Liberty:...The Megacore, they don't affect his devices. I tried my powers and the Megacore to break that device on Soar, but nothing worked!
This made them shiver, however they calmed down a bit. Panicking would not solve the current issue.
Ish: Okay...so, we're facing a possible mass murderer who is not affect by the Megacore. How did you manage to break it?
Liberty showed them his Super Bowl ring, it gleaming a bit.
Ricky: The Super Bowl ring?
RZ: Indeed, we have been looking into them as well as others close to them to see if we can counter this new foe.
Ish: Well, that's one good news.
Liberty: How are you kids so calm about this?
They turned to the Rusher who was shaking.
Liberty: This...thing could kill you...KILL YOU AND YOUR LOVES ONES! I-
Ash: *Goes to Liberty and gentle grabs his shoulder* Liberty, calm down. We know this is dangerous, but we have to stop this guy. You saw what he did on the news, you saw what he could do in person.
Ish: If we let this guy continue, i don't want to think about what could happen in the future with him still around.
Liberty shoulder sagged as he sighed.
Liberty: You kids are sweet...are you sure you want to do this?
They nodded in determination. They were not going to back down, not even to this new dangerous foe. Liberty nodded in understanding.
Liberty: Alright. Just...make sure if things get dangerous in battle, you bail.
Guardians: Right.
It was then the alarms went off as a red dot was near the safe zone. The Guardians suited up.
Liberty: HOLD ON! I'm coming with you!
With that everyone left in a flash.
RZ: Be careful Guardians.
Safe zone outline...
Sinous was observing the safe zone, behind him were three VERY familiar villains.
Sinous: Interesting...they create a safe pocket to protect not only the core but also the civilians. I must say, had the right idea of sparing you...then again, you too were pushed aside like i was.
Angkoro, Stellaria, and Zich were behind him. They were quiet and in a bit of fear, but they made sure not to let it be seen by this 'potential leader'.
Stellaria: The leader had the idea to create it to prevent intruders.
?: LIKE YOU?
They turned to see the Guardians and Liberty, battle stance at the ready.
Sinous: Ah, knights of the sky...to meet you at last. And the Rusherzs' leader, see your still anger at me.
Liberty growled as the Guardians looked over him. He had his own 'guardian' suit with bloodied wings, magic around hims as well as high technology he had around him. He showed no emotion what so ever.
Ish: So your the one that's killed those men last night as well as attacking Soar.
Sinous: It was punishment for being a blabber mouth. Then again, he did prove that Zatu was an ill-capable leader.
Liberty flamed glowed brighter and hotter.
Liberty: So, Zatu did not send you.
Sinous: No...he did not.
Stellaria: Not even if he could.
Ricky: What do you 'if he could'.
Angkoro: He's been dethrone.
They were in shock at this news, even Liberty lowered his torch a bit at that bombshell.
Ash: Balin over threw him?
The three Anticorians looked at eachother as Sinous walked over.
Sinous: He is the new leader...not for long once i get what i want...however, Zatu was not dethrone.
With that all four went to the air as Sinous threw them something. The Guardians and Liberty starred in horror at what they saw...the head of lord Zatu.
Troy: Did-did he kill him?
Liberty starred in horror, before he felt himself falling back and the world going black as the Guardians called his name.
Yep...this was not going to be a cake walk. This was war.
