Thank you for waiting everyone. I have some explain to do, and it was added to the story but to give the readers digest version; i was bitten on the hand by a dog. It was not serious as i did not need stitches, but i needed to rest it for two weeks and was not able to write. No one got in trouble and everything turned out well in the end.
Once again thank you for waiting :)
Duck boat...
The Rusherz were sitting talking as the present Guardians looked at the map.
Joseph: We'll start going through Asia and head to Japan, then we'll head down to Australia and across to Cuba and South America. We actually sent word to places Like Iceland, Greenland, and others to keep us informed or inform any Rusher found on the situation.
Stephen: AND we got Arron and Warren back at the HOK. So all we need to do is wait/find the vet. Guardians and Rusherz. Would be simple if not for the psychopath hunting them.
Jack: As well as avoiding him at all cost. One due to his power level, and two and most important, his current blood lust to get them.
Alex gave a thought.
Alex: Question, why not kill us? He has all the chance in the world to.
Joseph: Given what the Rusherz we found up to now, he likes the trill of the hunt...granted he never shows that with his emotionless persona but still.
Joseph froze in fear, a realization hit him.
Joseph: Oh crap...i just had a thought.
Alex: What that?
Joseph: A certain fan of the Rusherz, one who cares about them and a certain Buccaneer...if something were to happen to Peg-Leg..
Silence...
Jack: #$%.
Stephen: Yeah nearly forgot about her.
Meanwhile in Germany...
Jessica and Peg-Leg walked around the village, a plan to call the others via phone as the NFLRs communication was obsolete for now.
Jessica: Well, that was a bust. It appears Sinous had a backup plan for that too. Sorry i made you walk to a phone booth with one leg Peg-Leg.
Peg-leg: Hey, you had a good idea...and I'm kinda not the only one unscaved now too, granted yours was not by Sinous but-
Jessica glanced at her gauze left hand and blushed.
Jessica: At least the dog wasn't in trouble, not to mention i helped got you down from the roof.
Peg-Leg: Aye. I do hope the others are alright.
Jessica gave a small but hopeful smile.
Jessica: The other Guardians are still out there, and Marty and the other Veteran are strong so they will find a way to escape wherever they are.
Back with the others...
Swoop: Come on, come on speed up DUCK-BOAT!
Needless to say the idea of Jessica going ballistic and hunting down a psychopathic killer who would destroy her in a flash got the team in panic mode as they hurried across the border into Germany.
Stephen: You think she would go after him?
Joseph: This is Jessica we're talking about, her anger is not something to be trifled with.
Lasso: I remember she kicked Barron in the showdown saddle when he tried to hurt Peg-Leg. Not a pretty site seeing an anger women.
Jack: Never mess with a women's rage Stephen, remember that.
Stephen nodded as the duckboat headed into a village. Parking, they opened the door and got outside quickly defensive stances ready.
Liberty: Alright, she said she was visiting her for ancestry research.
Joseph: Pray we are not to-
Stephen: Found her.
They stopped, turning to see a stunned Jessica and Peg-Leg who blinked. Peg-Leg was holding a crutch balancing his missing leg and remaining one.
Peg-Leg: Ummm...what are you doing?
Jessica: And, why are you looking like your scared out of your mind.
They all let out a audible sigh of relief.
Blow-Torch: Thank goodness they found eachother.
Jessica: Um, yes? He was stuck on the roof, so i helped him but well-
She eyed her left hand, the others looking at it in shock.
Freefall: What happened?!
Jessica: When i got Peg-Leg down, a dog who was guarding his territory bit me in defense.
Peg-Leg: The lass went into fight-or-flight mode and got us inside. She manage to clean the wound and the doc bandaged it.
Jessica: About 9 marks total, one being a bit larger than the others. One bit was enough to shock me.
They all winced. Peg-Leg was thankfully not as hurt, BUT it was Jessica who gotten hurt instead helping him.
Jessica: I don't blame the dog, he was just protecting hims home.
Peg-Leg smile softly grabbing her hand.
Peg-Leg: Even after being bitten you care.
Jessica: But now...I do beleive you were looking for us?
Peck: Uh, yeah...in a panic.
Jessica deadpanned.
Jessica: You all were worried about me going crazy on Sinous if he hurt Peg-Leg or the fact he hurt the others right?
They blushed in embarrassment and chuckled.
Stephen: CAN you blame them.
Jessica and Peg-Leg: Nope.
Jessica: Anyway, are you all-
The sounds of trees crashing stopped the conversation, making them freeze.
Joseph: Tell you later, as well as why I'm still armored up. Right now, we got trouble.
Few miles away...
The group of Amalgamated Blitzborgs searched the areas as the heroes starred in seeing the group marching their way to the village.
Jessica: Those things get in there people will get hurt...
Stephen: We won't let that happen.
With a shout the rest armored up with the Rusherz staying behind. It was there Consier appeared and two shield coins appeared.
Peg-leg: RZ got a solution...
Jessica: Thank you RZ.
They placed the Shield coins in, as the rest shouted their team's Crusher 'MERGE!' and making the two jaw drop in surprise.
Consier: Shall I join you in battle my lady.
Peg-Leg: *Shakes his head back to reality* Worry about that later. CONSIER!
Jessica: CONSIER, MERGE!
Consier merged with her armor as they Guardians lept into battle, Stephen and Jack knocking them back with a wall of flame.
Peg-Leg: LASS WATCH YOU LEFT HAND!
She nodded as she blocked an attack with her sword.
Joseph: Of all the times to get bitten *leaps and kicks a whirlwind at a blitzbot*
Jessica: Hey, i didn't expect that to happen either, I'm lucky it wasn't my dominant sword holding hand-*slices one down*- Also, you guys will tell me what you have been up to while me and Peg-Leg were here.
Alex: Noted and promise-*tackles a bot into another with Jack's help*
Meanwhile...
Sinous watched from afar seeing the battle.
Sinous: Fascinating, she still fights even when she is hurt...and her protective nature though hidden is intriguing.
Sinous nodded to himself, then walked away as the battle finished.
Later on in the duckboat...
Jessica: So we can merge with the Crusher, that...is...INCREDIBLE!
Jessica eyes widen in amazement as Peg-Leg laughed, even a bit more as Alex suited him with a new peg-leg. Jessica had gone to get her stuff and returned seeing that Jack and Blow-Torch had made a new wooden leg for the Buc.
Alex: Sorry if this tickles.
Peg-Leg: N-Nonsense, a bit of laughter is needed during these times.
They smiled at that.
Joseph: We're just glad you two are alright..as best as one can be getting stuck on the roof and bitten by a dog.
They smiled as Jessica looked over the rails.
Jessica Thoughts: Marty, you and the others keep on fighting out of that place alright.
In the maze...
Marty smiled, knowing that a certain someone was routing for them on the outside.
Marty thoughts: You guys keep fighting out there too, and help the Rusherz the best you can.
Marty ran with the others with that thought engraved in his mind.
To Be Continued...
