Duck Boat, Madagascar...

Sonar: *Pale* How have we not gone insane?

The Rusherz sat around, Sonar having been told the situation and now processing everything.

Spot: The Guardians, the fact we manage to escape, many reasons...I do think a therapy session is in order for us after this.

Liberty: Speaking of the Guardians...do, you think they will be okay?

Bolt: I believe so...What brought this up Lib?

Liberty sighed, looking up at the Rusherz.

Liberty: Let's be honest, eventually one or most of us is gonna break and go ballistic... if they or any humans get caught in the crossfires-

Freefall: *Places a hand on Liberty's shoulder* We won't let it get to that point...at least, we'll try.

Peck: I am worried about them too...but they are just as tight knit as we are.


Meanwhile...

I think their going to be okay.

Hunter arrow struck down the final Blitzborgs, him huffing in satisfaction. The Guardians had done a clean sweep with the Blitzborgs, not needing the Crusherz for right now since they took the enemy on with the element of surprise and environment.

Hunter: Last of them.

Jack: Thank goodness. Everyone doing okay?

They all nodded, tired but satisfied with the powered down before looking around at the carnage of Blitzborgs and ashes, mostly ashes that blew in the wind.

Joseph: Gotta admit, this is a bit easier with the second powers.

Alex: Agree. Now, think it's best we head back before the Rusherz worry.

They started to head back, walking this time to conserve energy.

Ricky: You think the Rusherz have a discount or something with all they have been through.

They turned to him.

Ricky: Just a thought that popped in my head with all that had been going on.

Tua: Come to think of it, just how many times did the Rusherz had to go to therapy?

Jessica sighed, she knew the answer already.

Jessica:...Far too many times...

It was quiet after that.


Few moments later...

Freedom: There back!

The Rusherz smiled a bit seeing the Guardians walk over to them.

Joseph: Well, took care of that situation.

Swoop: At least no one will get hurt.

Liberty: Yeah...good news there.

Pillage sighed, walking forward surprising everyone.

Pillage: I, actually got some good news myself...

This got their attention. Pillage ushered them to the duckboat.

Pillage: Blackbeard already has the coordinates in.

Sonar: Umm, Pillage...not to sound pushy but...where are we going?

Marty: Yeah we're kinda confused.

Pillage smiled.

Pillage: We're in the Africa contanaint already...so we're heading to Tanzania to meet up with-

They all smiled at the name.


Tanzania...

Samuel was sketching the wildlife on his sketchbook. He was glad he chose this location for his class assignment. The area was rich in history, culture and Wildlife so he was having a good time...well, except for one thing. He had not heard from his friends, and the word that bits of the US was being hit by a storm.

Samuel: *Sighs* I hope they are all doing well. I know deep down you all are safe, and despite all of us being apart well be ready when you need-*sees a portal open up* help?

Samuel backed up in awe seeing something come out of the portal. It was strange site seeing a Duckboat appear and landing on the ground. He was left speechless as the door opened with the portal slowly closing, and his mouth dropped when he saw the Rusher of black and white step out and jumped onto the ground in front of him.

Pillage: *looks up* Hey Samuel, sorry for the surprise drop in, took a while to get here but we really need your help.

Samuel said nothing, still staring at him and the Duckboat.

Pillage: Um...Sam? *Shakes him a bit* Sam?

Samuel shoke his head and went down to Pillage, placing a hand on his shoulder.

Samuel: Pillage, what is going on and don't leave anything out.

Pillage sighed and he recounted all the events. Samuel's face morphing from anger, to fear, horror, and then sadness as Pillage finished the story. At that time the others appeared when he was finishing.

Stephen: You okay?

Samuel was shaking in a mix of anger, horror and sadness.

Samuel: That's...that's insane...HE'S INSANE...

Ash: Yeah...going to be honest, it's a miracle we made it this far

Samuel sighed calming himself.

Samuel: I have to ask due to recent events even before this...Pillage, are you okay?

Pillage sighed, nodding as a small tear fell.

Pillage: Madden is protecting me from heaven, he must of had a feeling something was going on and decided to 'make a little visit here' so to speak.

Sameul smiled warmly at that. He got up and looked around.

Sameul: How is Soar?

Freefall: Not dying, bit of color returning...BUT he's still drained badly and we still got a Megacore drained.

Samuel: Okay. Still bad but not horrible.

It was then the NFLRs beeped and Blackbeard appeared.

Blackbeard: Pillage, sorry for-Oh, you found him!

Joseph: Yeah, right on the spot there Blackbeard location wise...everything okay?

Blackbeard shoke his head.

Blackbeard: I received word that Kenya has been surrounded by those hunter Blitzborgs from the leader. He also had given use valuable information on them as well from observation, as well as spotting Sinous.

This caught their attention.

Amara: Really!?

Blackbeard: The the Blitzborgs powered by the Megacore when destroyed the energy appears and vanishes, from contacting New York City power has been returning and folks from the team to the fan to a person living there, though still weakened, they are still walking and talking. They are living their lives even with the thought of Soar's life on the line...*to Soar* Their thoughts are with you. *Soar smiled warmly as Blackbeard continued* A soldier had made note on Sinous armor.

Bolt: The armor?

Blackbeard: Yes. Though far he made notes one the armor. Anticorian made, based upon the Guardians armor, Lord Zatu has modified it to his desire. On his back is six round placements, possibly from experimentation and the wings centering the sixth one, and one in front like the Guardian armor placement.

Ish: This brings up a question, why is that there?

Steed: RZ told us it was for design, if the Guardian wanted to place something inside.

Swoop: However...i think there might be more with Sinous case.

Blackbeard nodded.

Blackbeard: The solider reported that one of the Blitzborgs grazed one of the placements...then proceeded to incinerate it.

It clicked, right then and there.

Joseph: Could those be...can they be?

Stephen: They have to be! That reaction, it's how any person would react with a sore spot!

Liberty: Blackbeard...I-I think we might have a chance to take down Sinous.


The round placements bothered him, it irked him so much. That Blitzborg should had been more careful, but what was he gonna do. Sinous placed the glass coverage on the last circle placement. It might be uncomfortable...but it was his only defense against those stupid spots.

Sinous: Unless those Guardians and Rusherz can break this glass...they will not succeed.

Sinous got up and walked away from a screen overlooking the Hall of Fame.
