Angola...
The Duckboat SLAMMED to a stop as the Guardians suited up and the Healthy Rusherz jumped out.
Joseph: *fast* Athena! Please care for the others okay!
Athena: Yes of course! Be careful!
They nodded as they ran off.
Jack: *To Jessica* You sure you can-
Jessica: Kinda late to ask but yeah, just because my one hand if out doesn't mean I'm down. You seen Peg-Leg fight and he's only got a peg-leg.
Peg-Leg: *on her shoulder; pride* Thank you.
Steed heart was racing as he ran.
Steed: Cyclops-
.
.
PLEASE BE ALIVE.
Cyclops panted as he shoke in anger and pain. A now intense burn was added to his injuries. He heard footsteps as he closed his eyes.
Cyclops: -sighs- If your so intent on killing us, why not do it now.
He braced himself for anything but-
CLANG!
He opened his eyes hearing the clang and feeling his arms being freed. Looking up he saw-
Cyclops: *hope* T-THOR!
Thor hushed him as Cyclops nodded, the Viking freeing him from his bondage.
Thor: *quiet* Been following these Blitzborg to here and I saw Zich come in here. I figured he was hiding something-but you-
Cyclops: *tears pricked* I-I'm just happy to see a friendly face.
Thor smashed the final chain officially freeing Cyclops.
Thor: Can you stand?
Cyclops tried to stand, but fell to his knees shaking. Thor got a closer look at his injuries. He could vomit seeing the gashes and burn on him, seeing Cyclops legs had been stabbed multiple sides.
Thor: -takes some breaths- Oh shards this guys a nutcase, *lift's Cyclops up* Okay Cys, were bailing.
Thor ran out, hearing monstrous sounds as he quickened his pace.
.
.
Joseph: *Frantic* Steed please SLOW DOWN!
Steed was miles away and a orange line as he ran, the others trying to catch up.
Stephen: MAN HE'S FAST!
Pillage: He's worried about Cyclops that is understandable!
Stephen nodded in understanding as he looked at the map-his eyes widen.
Stephen: *Shock* He's moving!
Everyone quicken their pace when they looked ahead-and saw a swarm of those Voodoo Blitzborgs.
Spot: We got a swarm!
Claw: AND LOOK!
They saw Thor running with ALL HIS MIGHT carrying Cyclops with a look of pure determination and panic. Steed's eyes turned red-and he bolted forward.
Juniper: Angry Bronco on the field!
Bolt: *panic* STEED WHAT ARE YOU-!
In a flash the swarm that was chasing Thor and Cyclops-was destroyed in an instant. Everyone froze seeing the Voodoo Blitzborgs fell to the ground as Steed landed.
Jack:-DANG.
Blow-Torch: Well then...problem solved.
Joseph and Stephen: No kidding.
Steed sighed as his eyes went back to normal before sprinting to the two Rusherz-he stopped, falling to his knees seeing Cyclops's injuries.
Cyclops: S-Steed?
Steed let his tears fell as he gave a quiet sob, pressing his forehead to Cyclops. Cyclops closed his eyes trying to calm his friend.
Cyclops: *calm* Shh, it's okay, I'm gonna be okay.
Steed: *tears* YOU CALL THIS OKAY!? YOU CALL ANY OF THIS OKAY?!
The others ran up fast and Thor looked up in relief.
Thor: Hey guys.
Stephen: Hey. As much as we want to know what happened, we need to get Cyclops medical attention and Steed a place to cool down his emotions.
Jessica: Right, Ste-
Steed immediately grabbed Thor with Cyclops still in his arms and BOLTED, leaving nothing but a orange streak. Everyone sighed.
Marty: And back with the running *all run* WAIT UP STEED!
.
.
Steed: *frantic* FREEFALL! ATHENA!
Athena popped her head out with a few others, eyes widening as they saw Steed run over with Thor and Cyclops.
Freefall: Oh my gosh Cyclops-
Athena: Oh goodness, did-did Sinous do this!?
Steed lept up and crashed into the vehicle panting and sweating.
Steed: *frantic* P-please, Cys he's-
Freefall: Steed calm down, deep breaths. Athena, can you look at Cyclops?
Athena: Of course.
Thor handed Cyclops to Athena, who gave her a grateful nod. Thor collapsed to his knees allowing his racing heart a chance to calm down.
Swoop: *goes over* Thor are you alright?
Thor: Y-Yeah, but Steed OH BOY he was ticked.
Liberty: I can tell-wait where are the-
?: BACK!
The Rusherz came out seeing both Guardians and healthy Rusherz panting and sweating. Some laying on the ground panting, others bend over.
Ish: A-And I-And I thought the relays in gym were draining..
Freedom: A-Agre-Agree.
Liberty was about to ask but-
Bolt: *hand up; panting* O-One moment. Please.
.
.
Cyclops: *winces*-So that what's been going on. Geez, we don't get a break.
Athena was gently rubbing aloe on the new burn, with Freefall wrapping the large cuts. Steed was leaning on Thor, completely out after literally running what one could be a marathon. So he slept, allowing his body to rest.
Joseph: Yeah, but Cyclops..man what did he do to you?
Cyclops: -sighs- Glad Steed's out for this. Sinous wanted to experiment on me to see how i would last with the 'trails' he went through to get his powers. He's more physical than Zatu for certain.
Horror was evident on everyone faces.
Jessica: Cyclops...Thor thank goodness you found him.
Thor: I know. Been following these weird Blitzborgs and found Zich going into a cave. I thought it was Sinous' hideout but-finding this.
Stephen: Crusherz push the petal to the metal we need to find the other Rusherz and get back home fast!
Crusherz: YES STEPHEN!
Thor and Cyclops blinked hearing them.
Cyclops:-I need to get use to this. *Looks at Scavenger* How is Scavs doing?
Athena: *sets Aloe down* He's fever had gone down a bit while you were gone. He should be well with rest...but as for you all, drink some water you all look red in the faces.
All gave tried smiles nodding.
Meanwhile, Mexico...
Ange looked at the starry skies, sending prays hoping for her friends safety.
?: Ange?
Ange turned to see Toro in the doorway, horns bandage up.
Ange: Toro. How are you feeling?
Toro: *sits down* Ah better than I was when you guys found me. Sorry for disturbing you guys-
Ange: No no. I'm glad you are okay. I'm sure, even if injured, the others will be okay as well. This Sinous, even if you just met him recently, he was made with no soul. He must be stopped before lives are taken.
Toro: *nods* Agree...do you still have that feeling?
Ange nodded.
Ange: I fear a great matter of sacrifice not akin to death will still take place.
Toro: Keep me posted on th-
The door opened as a women walked out. The women had dark hair with intense copper brown eyes.
Women: Angeline, Toro, dinner is ready!
Ange and Toro smiled.
Ange: Thank you aunt!
The women chuckled.
Women: Dear, me and your uncle have only dated for half a year.
Ange: I know, but you so sweet!
Toro: *chuckles* You swept both Herman and Ange off their feet Zia. Marriage is not far off.
Zia smiled as she led the two inside, turning to the stars before closing the door behind her.
