Alex: *whistles* And i thought Seattle or Minnesota had this much snow.
Freefall: Or Chicago, i got frozen in a block of ice and it is not comfortable.
The duckboat plowed through the alps and snow, everyone inside staying warm and watching the snow fall.
Juniper: We're in the alps alright.
Jessica: I just pray we don't run into any trouble in this storm.
Lasso: Well, it's fifty fifty at this point...these types of storms are relentless so who knows what will happen.
Blow-Torch: Yeah...Forger, how is the weather looking.
Forger appeared.
Forger: Snowing across this region and others, we will be in snow for a while...Also, there appears to be activity at this location.
This got their attention.
Alex: That means there is a Rusher around.
The next thing they know they felt and heard a load thump on the vehicle.
Jack:...Someone on the Duckboat...
Stephen: You think it's Sinous?
Silence, then they all turned off the lights as the door opened.
Meanwhile at the HOK...
Arron and Warren sighed as they continued to work on the wires. Good news, the maps and screens were working, but still no RZ or contact with the others.
Arron: Alright, so...screens are on, stadiums are a-okay for now, and, for some strange reason, Sinous left Allegiant Stadium.
Warren: Well...it has become a popular spot since Madden passing.
Silence went through the hall at that. It was not that long ago that tragedy struck the zone, the unexpected loss of Demaryius Thomas, and then mere weeks later, John Madden. Now they were facing a psychopath on top of all the events. Arron sighed. He prayed the others were safe...then a though came to him.
Arron: Warren, the portals are working yes?
Warren: Almost, why?
Arron turned to a portal.
Arron: We need to pick up something in Washington DC. This particular item might be able to help us in the situation, as well as the others.
Back with the others on the Duckboat...
Everyone hid in various places as the shadowy figure looked around, watching as he looked around. Jack and Alex, cautiously and with the okay signal from Joseph, slowly went behind the figure with a pillowcase, before tackling it in as it struggled.
?: Seriously what they hey!?
Alex: GOT THEM! GOT THEM!
Jack proceeded to grab the nearest weapon he could get or think of, a large spoon, and began to thwack the being with Juniper going to the light switch.
?: STOP IT!STOPIT!IT'SME!STEED!
Joseph: Hold!
The two stopped as Juniper turned on the lights as Jessica lifted the case off indeed reveling Steed, who was sporting a brand new bruise on his forehead and looking a bit ticked.
Everyone present: STEED?!
The two let Steed go as Steed shivered a bit as he got up.
Freefall: Oh geez Steed we're sorry!
Steed: Least you got you toes up in-case of danger, *touches the bruise and winces* yeesh that gonna sting for a bit.
Jack and Alex: Sorry about that.
Steed shrugged.
Steed: Again, don't blame you for being on edge-*sees the others Rusherz conditions* Oh geez, you guys didn't get off easy.
Peck: Only you, Peg-Leg, and Pillage seem to be left mostly unscaved.
Swoop: Well, almost.
The room was now filled with awkwardness and a bit of chuckles given the events, Jessica moving Steed to the electric fireplace.
Jessica: Steed your freezing, how long have you been wandering here.
Steed: No clue, but i had the feeling you guys would find me. Granted being sacked and attacked by a *observes the spoon* a large serving spoon, but glad to ran into you guys.
Jack: It was the only thing i could reach at that time.
Liberty: Good news is your safe and you and pillage are still able to help the Guardians.
This made the others turned to him.
Joseph: Just because most of you are on the mend doesn't mean you can't help us.
Jessica: Right, you got the Crusherz at your command-
This got her an idea, whispering it to Joseph and him nodded.
Joseph: Harpy, is their a possibility you and the flight able Crusherz can make this puppy fly?
Harpy appeared.
Harpy: It is something we had not though about but we will try.
Harpy vanished to talk to the others.
Swoop: Sooo...the new plan is making this Duckboat have wings...surprise that has not been an advancement in mankind yet.
Alex: While we wait, *to Steed* lets get something to hep with that bruise.
HOK,
Warren waited for Arron to come back as he looked over the Negacores. The good news was during his time waiting he has been using the power from the Negacore to actually combat the storms, making sure no lives were lost. Granted it still did not help the communications situation, but it was a start. The portal sprung on and Arron came out with the Superbowl rings in hand, glowing a bit more bright than usual.
Warren: You think this plan will work.
Arron: First time in modern day this event happens, there's even going to be a party, with that much energy the core will most likely be energized. Once it is we can use the energy to bring back RZ and start up communications...I hope.
Back with the others...
The others were waiting for results as Harpy, Red Crest, Splashdown, Perigean, Nevermore and F-18 appeared.
Nevermore: We beleive we got the solution on your request. Guardians present, please raised your NFLRs and say flight app engage.
Juniper: Alright then.
All present Guardians: FLIGHT APP ENGAGE!
The vehicle shoke cause some to fall on the ground or grab a stable furniture. Next thing they knew they heard the sounds on what made it appear like a plane taking off, before Freedom looked out of the window in complete shock.
Freedom: HOLY CROW WE GONE AIRBORNE!
Everyone looked out the window to see that the Duckboat had similar wings as the guardians flight app and they were in the air going pass the snow storm.
Jessica: Talk about taking things to the next level.
Perigean: We should be able to avoid the territories noted to avoid due to treaties and head straight to the next location.
Stephen: Which would be?
All six: Japan.
Japan...
Ish smiled as he saw a group of blue dots heading to their location. The maps and scanners were working at last on their NFLRs, as seeing their friends heading their way made him smile...but also worried for how they would take Soar's current conditions as he turned to see the Rusher heaving breathing as he slept.
Ish: Almost together, the rest are in Australia, Brazil, Mexico, the Carrabians...we have to get back as soon as possible...
To Be Continued..
