Duck boat...

Lasso: Alright then...let me review what you said. This Sinous separated the Guardians from the original team so he thought we would be defenseless. Freefall, you teleported all thirty one of us away to various locations with no clue where and now the Guardians that are still kicking but in different countries are our only hope to returning to the states to find the others and defeat Sinous hence the reason for the duckboat?

They nodded.

Stephen: That's pretty much the readers digest version of it.

Lasso shoke his head as the leaned back, grabbing his head as the information set in.

Lasso: This-is a lot to take in..can i have a few minutes.

Joseph: Of course.

Lasso thanked him as he tried to wrap his head around all the events that had transpired in a rapid succession.

Jack: I figured this would be alot to think about.

Blow-Torch: Yeah pretty much.

Lasso muled the information for a while, before sighing.

Lasso: Why do we always get the murderous psychos recently. Endgame, Barron, Mavren, now Sinous...why can't we just go back to fights three rouges and a bunch of bots.

Liberty: I actually beginning to miss those days too.

Joseph sighed.

Joseph: Right now, let's keep moving forward.

They nodded, knowing full well memory lane trips would have to wait a bit.

Few hours later, Up on deck...

Stephen: Well darn...

Turns out the waves on the duckboat had stirred them to Portugal, indicating that the waves of high tide were too much to stir in the proper direction. So here they were traveling through the Country. Either way, it meant more time for the Rusherz to calm themselves from all that has happened. This also gave himself time to relax...it was hard trying to help everyone he could, even though he feels he take things a bit far...he nearly gave Liberty a heart attack for jumping INTO THE OCEAN to get Lasso. He closed his eyes as he let the wind blow pass him as they touched the border between Portugal and Spain...when something jumped on the duckboat panting in fear. Stephen quickly turned to see someone hiding under a row of seats.

Stephen: H-hey...you-

?: Stephen?

Stephen recognized that voice as he slowly went over and bent down as Joseph came out.

Joseph: Steph, what's up.

Stephen points to under the seats.

Stephen: Look...

Joseph went over and looked to see...

Joseph: *Worry* Peck...

Peck eyes were widen in fear as he shivered, his eyes darting around. Joseph saw someone watching them...Sinous.

Joseph: Dear gosh he's creepy.

Stephen: THAT'S Sinous..

Sinous: Oh Cardinal...where are you...

Sinous turns and DECAPITATES a dead dear the killed getting here with just his hand, making Peck shiver more. Then, with no warning he sent a blast of magic to the duckboat.

Joseph: ENTER THE RUSH ZONE!

BANG!

...

Swoop: *Slams door open* WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL DEITIES WAS THAT!

Everyone present inside came out, seeing the smoke fading and Joseph in guardian mode with static sparks around him.

Joseph: You got to be kidding me...

Swoop: Joseph are you alright?!

Joseph sighed...but he did not power down,

Jack: Uhhh, Joseph, why did you not power down-

Liberty facepalm gentle, with Freefall sighing.

Blow-Torch: Jack, I think whatever happened caused Joseph suit to be stuck on...the good news is, given the static we saw it should be temporary.

Joseph: Fan-freaken-tastic...But, it was for a good reason...

Lasso: Why?

Stephen: We saw Sinous-

Present Rusherz: *Horror* WHAT!?

Joseph quickly raised his hands up to calm them down fast.

Joseph: He didn't attack the vehicle, he was after someone else...

He went over to the seats, bent down and lifted someone out, showing a still shaken Peck.

Liberty: Peck...

Joseph: Sinous must have been hunting him down till he jumped on here, he tried to blast him but I armor up and, well, got stuck in it.

Alex: At least you two are alright...well..

Peck slowly stopped shaking as he finally calmed down, letting his body fall into slumber in Joseph's arms.

Alex: We'll ask Peck what happened later, right now he's exhausted.

Swoop: As for you Joseph...well, we kinda expected something like this issue would occur one day. GRANTED we did not wanted it to happened with a situation like this, but we can't change the situation.

Jack: You mean you expected our Suit to get stuck on use by accident.

Blow-Torch: Yeah, why else would we add those safety features.

Joseph cocked his head, before opening the screen and scrolling to a feature that said "emergency suit lock options". He pressed it, looking at the features before he pressed one with opened the mouth part of the helmet and the visor around his eyes dimmed so they were see-able.

Joseph: Huh, this is neat. Good idea adding this encase.

They Rusherz smiled as they headed back inside.

Meanwhile...

Sinous actually hummed to himself as he allowed his magic to kill and butchered any living animals around him. He sliced a tree in half with his weapon.

Sinous: So, that was one of the Guardians outside of our knowledge from Anticoria...I have heard that eventually, there would be more that six knights of the sky...this has gotten interesting though.

Sinous continued off in the opposite direction. He'll let them go for now, he did like to play with his prey after all.

Ricky starred the the ceiling, the first to awaken out of the six. His mind was wandering and thinking about the others.

Ricky: You guys keep up out there till we find you okay...and Peck, please be safe.

Peck mouned as he went deeper in the pillow, his eyes fluttering open before he jolted upward in shock. He looked around, before sighing in relief...and a look of sorrow appeared on his face.

Peck: Ricky...

A small tear fell from his eyes.
