Rush Zone Legends Retold
Season 2 retold
Episode 6: Sound silenced
Another cold night, now disrupted as a truck and two strange motor vehicles came barreling to the warehouse. The guards went out raising their hands.
Guard 1: H-Huh, uhh-HEY SLOW DOWN! *Does not not* STOP STOP!
Guard 2: WATCH OUT!
The other guard pushed his ally out of the way as the truck plowed through the gate. Dropkick drove the truck to a strange large cylinder of liquid. The two guards came running over.
Guard: HEY YOU! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!
Guard 2: YOU CAN'T BURST IN HERE THIS IS PROTECTED PROPERTY!
Dropkick: *scoffs* Cycle Blitzbotz, take care of these pest.
The Guards ran over for a attack but they were caught and strung up to the ceiling in a web net.
Guard: H-Hey! Who are you?!
Guard 2: And what are you doing?!
Both guards say that Dropkick was draining the strange fluid into the truck.
Guard: HEY! LEAVE THAT ALONE THIEF!
Dropkick: What, you don't like me stealing your sonic molten matter?
Guards: *anger* YES!
Dropkick scoffed as he finished the transfer and got back in the truck driving off. But-
Ish: Hi there.
Torgo: And where do you think your going with that?
Dropkick: Guardians? Legends? Impossible. No one could have known of our plans.
Rush Lee: Yeah, red dots equal enemy on our map so...not very subtle.
Dropkick responded by slamming on the exserlarator and tried to run the heroes over.
Ish: Oh your not going anywhere!
Torgo went into the NFLR and with Ish getting a running start, ran to the truck before jumping to the side as tossing Dropkick. Ash and Troy, with their respected Rusherz in their NFLR, blasted the car with static and water slowing it down.
Torgo voice: Ooo nice one Lil Bro.
Ish: Thanks, call it the quarterback sack. Gotta love this job.
Ash and Troy went over.
Ish: *to the others* You all okay?
Troy: Yeah.
Rush Lee's voice: Still getting use to it but yes.
Ash: Yeah, think Dropkick is stunned.
Shock's voice: Well let's get him, he's got answers and we're getting them!
Dropkick: *gets up; static* You will have to catch me first *gets on a Cycle Blitzbotz* GET THEM!
The Cycle Blitzbot went to attack as Dropkick drove back in the warehouse.
Ish: Not this time, Torgo smash!
Ish launched Torgo and he Smashdown the ground with Ash kicking it with Shock.
Ash: These guys are new-
The Cycle Blitzbotz was slashed away by Troy and Rush Lee.
Rush Lee: Cycle Blitzbotz, remember hearing they are a new brand for speed.
Shock: -groans- Just what we need.
HELP!
The group turned to see the Guards trying to get out but hanging over the molten matter.
Ash: THEIR GONNA FALL!
Shock: ASH!
Shock went back in as with a boost she speed up and grabbed the guard before he fell, same with the other one with Ish and Torgo.
Guard 1: Thanks Guardians, Rusherz.
Shock: It's what we do, we're just glad you two are okay.
The sound of slicing and blasts were heard was Dropkick was being tailed by Troy and Rush Lee.
Troy: *looks down* PRAY we don't fall in there, i hear stories where folks fall in and insanity comes out.
Rush Lee shot at Dropkick leg as he was brought to the ground as Troy grabbed his leg.
Troy: Alright, you give up?
Dropkick: Why would I when I have the advantage.
In quick movement Dropkick destroyed the line and a stream of molten energy came falling, Rush Lee jumping in front of the group and sending water up.
Dropkick: Amateurs *runs off*.
Troy: HANG ON GUYS!
Troy jumped down taking a large slab of metal and shield them from the molten, sighing in relief.
Ish: That was close.
Torgo and Shock jumped out as they watch Dropkick drive away.
Torgo: He got away, but thank goodness for you two's quick thinking.
From behind the armor, Troy smiled with Rush Lee.
Next day, Canton Ohio, school...
The bell rang as the Students waited for their teacher. Marty leaned close to Troy from the back desk.
Marty: So, how is Lee doing?
Troy: *smiles* He's doing great, he really into the gardening so he's excited for spring to come. Even been doing some research.
It was then the Teacher came in with a hand full of graded paper.
Ms. Jarvis: Good morning class. I have your math tests as well as some news. For anyone who want, or needs, extra credit you are all invited to a special event at the Pro Football hall of fame. My old friend, New York Jets coach Rex Ryan will be giving a talk.
That got most of the students excited.
Ish: PLEASE tell me I need extra credit Ms. Jarvis. Because I NEED to meet coach Ryan.
The students and Teacher chuckled at that.
Ms. Jarvis: You can come Ish, but you don't need extra credit, you did really well on the test. And I did not receive a long written paper from your older brother this time around.
Now that got him chucking with the class.
Ish: What can I say, he really is confused on the whole letter with number equations.
Ms. Jarvis: *started to pass out grades* In any case, most of you did really well.
Troy received his paper, before looking it over.
Marty: C+?
Troy: My parents will be all over me on this a bit, but I want to see what I missed so I can improve next time.
Tua received his grade, a frown still on his face.
Ms. Jarvis: *concern* Tua, can you please see me after class.
.
.
.
The sound of the Whistle blew as the Bulldogs practiced.
Coach Jones: Alright guys, let's hit the sleds. Ready?
The team nodded as Ish and Ash led the charge, followed by Marty who was knocked back a bit.
Marty: *gets up* Umm, meant to do that.
Tua walked up to Ish and Ash.
Ash: Hi Tua.
Tua: Hi, we all doing blocking today.
Ish and Ash nodded.
Tua: Good, just what I need.
Putting his helmet on he tackled the sled, taking to down the field before stopping.
Coach Jones: Good blocking son!
Ish and Ash watched as Troy went over.
Troy: Tua looking good out there. Almost good as me but in his own style.
Ish: Wish we had him last night, could of been a huge help. *bit quiet* He would had blocked Dropkick's semi into oblivion.
The other two nodded as Tua walked over taking some water.
Tua: Sled's too easy, can you guys jump on?
.
Tua tackled the sled with the now added teammates on it, pushing it.
Coach Jones: That is alot of poundage, sure you can push it-
Tua answered by pushing the sled, amazing everyone present.
Coach Jones: WHOHOHO, WAY TO GO TINY!
The coach went over to talk to him, Ish and Ash to the side.
Ash: Tua's definitely fired up today.
Ish: Yeah, but i got a feeling he's letting off steam. Something is going on-and I was told by Torgo something is going to happen.
Meanwhile...
Wildcard groaned in anger.
Wildcard: Let me recap what you just said. You destroyed the truck AND spill my precious molten sonic liquid. Uhhh, i can't trust you to do anything right!
Wildcard was sitting as Dropkick looked at the screen.
Dropkick: I was ambushed by the Guardians and the three Legends-
Wildcard: DON'T REMIND ME! It's bad enough i have to deal with the Guardians but now we have the added now THREE Rusherz whose power exceeds beyond belief! Now will all this you have left me with no vehicle to launch the greatest attack yet.
Dropkick nodded.
Dropkick: Do not worry sir, i have something in mind.
Wildcard: You better.
Canton Ohio, Tua's house, night...
Tua sighed as he looked at the math homework. He had to do something about this, or no more playing football till the grades improve.
Tua: This is stupid, i have to agree with Torgo numbers and letters do not mix-
Tua stopped as he looked up seeing his little sister tiptoe downstairs.
.
She opened the fridge grabbing the leftovers, closing the fridge when-
Tua's Mother: Nina?
Nina jumped seeing her family looking at her, confused.
Tua's Mother: Nina, what are you doing?
Nina: *worried* Ummm, Ummm.
Tua: Nina...are you the reason the leftovers are gone the next day?
Nina: *Worried; nods*
Tua's Grandfather: Nina if your still hungry we could get you something but an entire meal-
Nina: *worried* I-It's not for me-
They all froze.
Tua's Father: W-Who is it for?
Nina had tears in her eyes as she shoke her head.
Nina: *worried* I can't tell, the bad antis would hurt him.
Tua decided to take over seeing her worry as he went to her level.
Tua: Nina, who are these antis?
Nina: *worried* Bad people. H-He can't talk well cause they hurt him bad, he fell from the sky two years ago.
That last line got them confused.
Tua: Well, can we meet him?
Nina looked hopeful nodding.
.
The family watched as Nina talked to the mysterious person who hid in a bush.
Tua's older brother: You think this is safe?
Tua's mother: I don't know. I mean, Antis?
Tua: It must be some sick group of creeps, oh!
Nina ran over to her family.
Nina: He wants to talk to you *To Tua*.
Tua: *shock* M-Me?
Nina: Yeah, he will only listen and see all of you if he talks to the Guardian.
All: *stunned* WHAT?!
Tua's Grandfather: *shock* G-Guardian?!
Tua: *shock* Me? Guardian?!
Nina: That's what he calls you.
Tua knew something was up as he walked over with Nina to the bush. Nina smiled as she looked through the bush.
Nina: Here is my big brother! I'm sure he can help you!
Tua slowly went into the bush-and his heart froze solid at what he saw.-The being his sister been bring food too, she was talking to, was a RUSHER. He was pale Light Yellow but thin in skin, long tangled messing red/brown hair covered in branches and mud, his lime eyes sunken in. He was covered in cuts, bruises, but the worst was the scars over his ankles and wrist, one of them having strange marks on it but it was unreadable. Why, Tua saw the blood on the Rusher's fingers and was all he needed to know on what happened.
Tua: Whoa...
The Rusher looked up, he looked so tired as tears felling.
Rusher: Gggguuuuaaaarrr-dddddiiiiiiaaaannnn.
Tua blinked to bring him back, no time to ask he needed to help him NOW.
Tua: *Calm* Hi there, my name is Tua. What is your name?
Rusher: Ssssppaaaa -coughs-
Tua: Slowly, your voice sounds like it's on it's last leg.
The Rusher nodded, taking a breath.
Rusher: S-P-A-D-S.
Tua: Spads, my family wants to help you, but to do that you need to trust us.
Rusher: N-O...A-N-T-I-C-O-R-I-A-N-S?
Tua: Anticorians? Never heard of those so no.
The Rusher was hesitant, but seeing the kindness in Tua's eyes he nodded giving his sister the okay as Nina went to the others.
Tua: It's okay, your in safe hands I promise-
Tua's mother: *horror* Oi talofa!
His mother was horrified seeing the Rusher's condition.
Tua's mother: Meli! Bring towels quickly!
.
.
As soon as his family heard it was a Rusher and saw his condition, they acted immediately with his mother taking the helm. Nina was relieved that her family was belong her friend and was able to go to bed while they took care of him. His mother actually made the Rusher a warm meal for him to eat. After that, Tua had waited in his room with his homework left aside until he heard looked up seeing his Mother walked into his room sighing.
Tua: How is he?
Tua's mother: Poor thing is scared, scared and hungry. Thank goodness for Nina giving him the left overs during his time outside. He's cleaned up now, we covered the scars and gave him some warm cloths I'm surprise he didn't get hypothermia with those tattered cloths. Your father is giving him a haircut.
Tua: Who could of done this to him?
Tua's mothers: -sighs sadly- I don't know sweetie, whoever those Anticorians are they are monsters.
They saw someone walk to the door, peeking in.
Tua's mother: Come in sweetie, your safe here.
Spads walked in slowly, wearing scarlet clothing as he looked around, seeing Tua. His hair was cut short to his shoulders. Tua offered him a set on the bed and he nodded walking over and sat down.
Tua's mother: Spads, may I ask a question? *Spads nods* Why did you call Tua a Guardian?
Spads: E-Enn-Ener-gy. H-He i-i-is a-a-a-gua-gua-gaurdi-guardian.
Tua had to admit, It was amazing how fresh food and a lot of water can help a Rusher regain not only his energy, but his voice a bit as well.
Tua: Energy?
Tua's mother: He must see potential in you. Spads, until we find out what's going on you will live here with us.
Spads eyes widen as he was about to speak-
Tua's mother: It's okay, it's better then sleeping out in the elements. *she gets up* We'll be heading to bed, do you know where you want to sleep?
Spads looked at Tua, pointing to him.
Tua: He seems really attached to me.
Tua's mother: I believe he trust you more with the thought of being a Guardian *Tua nods; she gets up* . Alright, you two have good night.
Tua: Night mom!
His mother left, leaving Tua with the Rusher.
Tua: I don't know what happened to you, but I'll help you the best i can.
Spads smiled as he yawned. Tua decided to lay him on his bed as he brought the covers up.
Tua: You just get some rest, you need it.
Spads nodded as slumber took him at last. Tua smiled, but turned serious thinking about those strange markings. They were numbers, they had to mean something that involved what could had happened to the Rusher...then he looked at his homework.
Tua: Guess this a situation that only algebra can help with.
With that Tua opened the book.
Meanwhile...
A truck was driving down the road when it was stopped by a beam from Dropkick.
Dropkick: Target neutralized. Cycle Blitzbotz quickly go! Before they noticed what him them!
The driver jumped out of the truck running to safety,
Trucker: H.Q.! PROJECT HOT ROD IS UNDER ATTACK!
The Cycle Blitzbotz took the project fast.
Trucker: I REPEAT WE ARE UNDER ATTACK.
Dropkick would smirk of he could.
Dropkick: Time to show Wildcard who is REALLY in charge.
Canton Ohio, Tua's house, next day...
The day shined on as Ish walked up to his friends house, he knocked on the door as Tua's mother opened it.
Ish: Hi there Mrs. Tupola.
Tua's mother: Oh Ish hello,
Ish: Is Tua here, he wasn't at school football field today today.
Tua's mother looked upstairs in realization.
Tua's mother: Was he with him all night?
Ish: With who?
Tua's mother: It's best you look yourself. But please be careful, it's very shocking.
Ish nodded as he walked in seeing Tua's family watch a game.
Tua's grandfather: Hehheh, that's right. You go get 'em big guy.
Ish smiled as he walked upstairs and into Tua's room. Tua was asleep on his desk with paper all around, some of the math homework completed and some were-something. Ish also saw someone sleeping on his bed covered up as he walked over and shoke Tua-prompting him to shot up and papers to fly.
Tua: FRACTION MULTIPLES! *turns to Ish* Ish?
Ish: Hi Tua, um-what's with all *shows the papers*
Tua got up from his desk.
Tua: Ish, you got to see this.
Tua showed Ish who was sleeping in his bed, Ish had to to do a double take seeing the Rusher curled up sleeping.
Ish: *shock* Tua...where did you find him?
Tua: My sister been taking food out to him every night until we found out. He's all scared up and he has these weird numbers on his one wrist. I tried all night figuring what they are and nothing.
Ish: *looks at one* Not all for nothing, you got alot of these problems solved.
Tua: Strange motivation huh...Ish, i won't be able to play on the team until I get these scores up.
Ish: Is that why you were fired up on the sleds?
Tua: Yeah..but now-what do i do about-*to Spads*.
At that moment Ish's NFLR pinged.
Ish: My brother texted me, I have an idea. Could you give me those numbers? Maybe the Rusherz know what they are since my bro works with them. I can tell you at the meeting with Rex Ryan later.
Tua smiled nodding, as he wrote down the numbers.
Later, HOK...
RZ: Thank you all for assembling so quickly.
The team nodded, Ish holding a paper as they watched the screen.
RZ: This news of Dropkick sealing a top secret experimental vehicle requires our immediate Attention.
Ish: First that molten stuff, now a experimental car.
Torgo: Both are connect to a upcoming attack, I'm sure of it.
Ish: The question is, what are they up too?
Shock: RZ was looking into that stuff we gathered last time, you found results?
RZ: Affirmative, it is liquid sonar waves, or sonic molten matter.
Rush Lee: You can turn sound to matter?
Ash: It is an experimental function the scientist have been testing on.
RZ: Correct. If Wildcard were to encase both the stolen vehicle and the liquid sonar, in theory he would be able to travel on land with the speed of sound itself.
Ash: And that would be trouble, how would we be able to keep up with that.
RZ: It does appear he is planning simultaneous attacks on multiple fronts.
Ish: We-also have another problem.
Ish brought the paper to Torgo, Shock and Rush Lee as they looking it over.
Ish: Tua found a Rusher last night in horrible conditions, he found this on his wrist so-
Torgo: *Horror* SHARDS OF THE CORE!
The Guardians and RZ looked very worried as the three Legends faces pale upon reading the numbers.
Troy: *Very worried* I-is something wrong?
Shock: Tua finding a Rusher, in horrid conditions, worrying as is but...this-
Ish: Another thing Tua told me was something about 'Anticorians'.
All paled more at that word.
RZ: Something is wrong, is there.
Torgo: Anticorians, lead by Lord Zatu, the very FIEND who aided Sudden Death to obtain power.
All Three: WHAT!?
Rush Lee: *calms his racing heart* Yes, their the reason what has happened happen. Ish, these numbers are not normal nor good-THEIR PRISON BRANDS.
Ash: *Horror* Prison branded.
Torgo took a breath with Shock calming themselves.
Torgo: We'll look into this, in the mean time tell Tua we thank him and his family for his help.
RZ: I will also look into this. When the time comes you will each be assigned to several stadiums, for now please carry on as you were. We will begin patrols Saturday Morning.
They nodded as they left.
Troy: Prisoner, to a heartless freak, and the ones who destroyed your home, that's messed up.
Rush Lee: Hence why we Rusherz are very wary of them, the Anticorians have been sworn rivals to us despite us not doing any harm.
All three Guardians looked at eachother nodding, if there are other Guardians they would let them know. They made a promise in silence; if the Anitcorians that followed this Zatu ever come, they would protect not just the core but the Rusherz.
.
.
Saturday came as students were seated in the Hall of Fame. Ish and his parents, Marty, Tua and his family were amongst the crowd. Ish gave a small wave to Torgo, who was in uniform and gave a wink back in greeting.
Ms. Jarvis:-And without further ado, my friend Mr. Rex Ryan, head coach of the New York Jets.
Everyone applauded.
Ish: How cool is this? Rex Ryan helped the Ravens win their first Super bowl in their first few years! And he has Dyslexia, so he puts his all in his work using those color-coded playbooks and game plans when he's coaching. He's really dedicated to his team, family and himself. With his father being coach Buddy Ryan and a twin with Rob, he's definitely grew up with football.
Rex Ryan hugged Ms. Jarvis before turning to the podium.
Rex Ryan: Thank you Ms. Jarvis, everybody. It means alot to be introduced by a teach, cause school is where it all begins. It is the place where I learned the secret to getting what i wanted and wish in life. You know what that secret is?
Marty: *raises his hand* Having a great defense.
Torgo had to hold in a snort on that. He swore that kid would be golden when he reached prospect age.
Rex Ryan: *Smiles; shakes his head* No son, I'm taking practice. *Tua watched in interest at that* Practice makes all things possible, makes you better. When your stuck, it is what you do to get moving in the right direction agai-
Rex accidentally hit the podium as feedback blared in the room. It was their a squeak was heard as well as footsteps. Everyone had their ears covered for a moment before the feedback vanished.
Torgo: *smirks* Still in coach mode even off the field.
Rex Ryan: *small chuckle* Sorry about that. *Back to the audience* I believe we can win every game, sometimes we don't win. So, you know wha we do next time?
Tua: *Raises his hand* Practice more?
Rex Ryan: *smiles bigger* Exactly. Practice, work hard, believe in yourselves. That's just straight from my heart...I'm like that.
That got the audience laughing and smiling. Spads peaked from his hidden spot seeing the coach.
Spads: P-Pra-prac-practice.
.
.
Tua: *beams; looks at the tickets* OH MAN! Thanks Coach Ryan!
Ish smiled as he walked over seeing Rex, Ms. Jarvis and Torgo.
Tua: Hey Ish, Check it out! Coach invited me to this Sunday's game! My Grandpa and I get to fly with the Jets and Everything!
Torgo smiled as he turned to the coach.
Torgo: Coach Rex thank you so much for today. The Hall of Fame thanks your for your time.
Rex Ryan: *smiles* Of course, last week was a bye so a couple of guys and i have been talking to other schools during that time. Tomorrow though it's back to work, so meet us at the airport bright an early.
Tua: Can my buddy Ish come too-?
Torgo: He already beat ya to it. His older brother got tickets so you'll see him at the game.
Tua eyes brighten-then Ish remembered what he needed to tell his friend.
Ish: Hey Tua, can i talk to you?
Tua nodded as he walked away with Ish. Torgo smile fell.
Rex Ryan: That bad feeling happening.
Torgo: In more ways than one.
.
.
Tua: *Horror* IT'S A WHAT?!
Tua and his family were horrified when Ish told them what he heard about the numbers.
Ish: Yeah, the Rusherz had the same reactions seeing them. I have no clue how he escaped, and a part of me doesn't want to find out.
Tua's parents went close to eachother as his Grandfather clenched his hands into a fist.
Tua's mother: Poor thing.
Tua's Father: Heartless monsters they are.
Ish: I know, so-what now?
Tua face turned to determination as he walked up to the coach.
Tua: Hey coach, about a third ticket-
Next day, HOK...
Ish:-And he's taking him to New York, still beating myself for not asking the Rusher name.
Ish, Ash and Troy were gathered in the main floor with their Legends, Steed and Beast joining the conversation.
Steed: Think it could of overwhelm him, I just-he must of gone through so much there.
Rush Lee: Hopefully Soar can recognize him so we can give him the proper help.
Troy: Yeah, RZ? You ready?
RZ nodded, listening to the update with the others.
RZ: Thank you Ish for the update. Guardians, Legends, Wildcard could be anywhere and/or everywhere today. As mentioned, a preemptive measure shall take place with each of you going to a multiple of stadiums. Troy, Rush Lee, start with the lions.
Troy: We're on it!
Beast roars in response as Troy and Rush Lee followed him.
RZ: Ash, Shock, the Broncos.
Ash: Cool.
Steed clicked to RZ in agreement as he lead Ash and Shock.
Ish: RZ, me and Torgo would like to cover the Jets. With my buddy Tua going to the game tomorrow and I just, you know, want to-
RZ: *warm smile* Permission granted, i understand your concern. *Serious* But, there is something Important you must do first.
Torgo: And from the sounds of it, it regards him and that Rusher.
Up in the skies...
Tua's grandfather slept as Tua and Spads watched the highlight reels, Spads disguised to the point his mouth was covered in a scarf was watching in awe.
Spads: *awe* L-Loo-look a-at-at H-Him g-go.
Tua: *grabs some chips from under the seat* Cool right. *eat some chips; points to the player* That is Sione Pouha, he's a nose tackler. He 6'3 in height and 325 pounds, Tongan desent. This guy isn't taken down so easily, not even by torn ACLs-
?: And I see you both found my secret stash of highlights.
Spads quiet squeak hiding beside Tua looked in awe.
Tua: *awe* Sione Pouha? NO WAY!
Sione Pouha: I also see you found my secret stash of snacks too.
Spads hide more at that.
Tua: Oh, I'm sorry I thought they-
Sione Pouha: *laughs a little* No worries, us big guys need a lot of fuel to keep our engines going.
Tua: Right! Finally someone who knows what it's like to be big. *Looks up* Maybe you can show me how to get hug, bigness is my ticket to going pro.
Sione Pouha: Not enough to be big Tiny, you got to think big to. Beleive in yourself first, then work hard, practice and study in school.
Tua: *confused* But school doesn't teach me how to block and tackle.
Rex Ryan: It teaches you something better, how to practice. You learn how to do that, there's nothing you can't learn. Sometimes it takes motivation to take the first step, your friend here seems to know.
Tua turned to Spads who, slowly during the conversation, unshunk his body looked at them.
Spads: I-I-I be-be-belive y-yo-you ca-can-can do-i-it.
Tua smiled, but the two jet's looked in concern.
Sione Pouha: *concern* Whoa, he's going to be okay? His voice, never heard a voice so broken up.
Tua: It's a long story.
Rex Ryan: Well we'll about to land so why not give us the footnotes.
.
.
The group walked down the stairs of the plane as Tua finished explaining the situation.
Tua:-So maybe if he seems someone like Soar, he could help him.
Both player and coach had sad looks in their eyes.
Rex Ryan: Even if he does, it's going to be awhile before he is mentally and emotionally okay. He's dealing with Psychological trauma, so being a prisoner to brutes like them and what they done to him won't go away . There's going to be times he'll need support from friends and family, something you and yours have given him.
Sione Pouha: It'll be alot of time and patients, but with the right support Spads is going to be okay, right buddy?
Tua smiled a bit, Spads giving a weak one as he took a deep breath.
Spads: Y-Yes, H-He i-is m-my G-Gu-Guardian a-after a-all.
Tua felt tears in his eyes, wiping them away. The two smiled hearing this.
Rex Ryan: It helps the ride is going to be a smooth calm one.
Sione Pouha: Heh yeah, wait till you see what's taking us to the stadium.
.
.
Spads smiled wanting to bury himself in the soft seat.
Tua: This is a sweet ride!
Sione Pouha: Nothing like arriving in style-
Something bang on the bus, frighting Spads and startling the others. Spads clung onto Tua who was stopped from bouncing from his seat thanks to Rex. From outside Dropkick rammed the vehicle he was driving into the bus.
Tua: What's going on!?
The driver side opened revealing Soar.
Soar: It's Dropkick, and he is in for a big surprise.
Spads eyes widen seeing Soar press a button as the bus armored up. With that he tried to ram into the vehicle which went transparent as it went through.
Dropkick: Absolutely pathetic attempt. You have no chance against the Wildcar!
The are smashed into the bus once again.
Tua: *trying to calm down Spads* Why is he attacking us?!
Soar: This is the battle bus, a rolling fortress designed to protect the Megacore *smacks the wall revealing it* That Megacore is vital to our team, Rex I thought you place it in a hiding spot?
Rex Ryan: I wanted to keep it with me while the new vault at the stadium was being finished, maybe that wasn't a good idea.
Soar: Don't worry *turns on bus jets* I know a sho-
Spads: S-Soar?
He froze.
.
Dropkick was about to hit it again, when out of nowhere it derailed from the road into the wooded area.
Dropkick: WHAT THE-YOU ARE NOT GETTING AWAY THAT EASY!
.
Soar basically blue-screened hearing Spads voice as the bus drove through the wooded area in fast speed with the coach grabbing the wheel in a frantic state. Sione Pouha was holding onto the surprisingly still sleeping grandfather as Tua held onto Spads.
Tua: *frantic* SOAR! SOAR!
Rex Ryan: *frantic* SOAR YOUR OFF THE ROAD!
Sione Pouha: *frantic* BUDDY, WAKE UP!
Spads: *frantic* S-SOAR?!
Soar blinked as he returned mentally and saw they were heading to a cliff.
Tua: *frantic* BRAKE BRAKE BRAKE!
Soar reacted as he slammed on the brake hard and released a grapple, stopping the bus just before it went over the cliff, everyone sighing in relief. With it the bus was pulled up and back onto ground, the door being kicked open with everyone jumping out.
Soar: *to Tua; heart racing* WHERE DID YOU FIND HIM?!
Tua: Long story, was not expecting you driving off road but then again you were surprised.
It was then the Wildcar came up, Dropkick glaring at them.
Dropkick: Clever, but not clever enough-
Soar: Um no, I literally blue-screen so-
Spads looked from inside the bus, this person was trying to steal this Megacore from his friend..his eyes narrow as he took a breath and-
BRAWK!
A note hit the car as it was taken back abit. Spads grabbed the Megacore running, his scarf falling off revealing his face.
Sione Pouha: Isn't that-
Tua saw the Wildcar chase him and followed in pursuit.
Rex Ryan: Kid what are you doing?
Tua: I made a promise and I'm not going to break it! I'm saving this Rusher and that Megacore!
Tua ran off with Soar bring up a screen.
Soar: ISH TORGO WE NEED YOU HERE ASAP! AND WHEN I MEAN ASAP I MEAN NOW!
.
Spads ran with all his might, the Wildcar just close to him with Tua right behind it. Finally, Spads stopped over a cliff and turned in fear with the Wildcar stopping in place.
Dropkick:-A FOURTH ONE.
Tua stopped seeing the scene, quickly trying to formulate a plan.
Dropkick: Well then, be a good legend and turn over the Megacore.
Spads was shaking...he stop, closed his eyes, and looked straight at him in determination.
Spads:-NO.
Dropkick: What was that?
Spads: NO. T-This is Soa-Soar's. I-I w-will not h-have m-my frie-friends be h-hurt.
Dropkick: What is wrong with you?
Spads snarled, ripping off the gauze around his wrist showing the numbers-the numbers he HATED, FEARED.
Spads: *Garbs it in anger; screams*
In a flash and a scream a rip was heard stunning Dropkick was what he had done as Spads tripped and fell off the cliff, Tua was in a panic as he raced over.
Tua: *Load* NO ONE GETS WHAT I'M PROTECTING!
With that, Tua jumped after him.
.
Spads held the Megacore close, looking in awe as Tua lept after him and reached out.
Why did it take him so long to talk to them? He felt tears as he reached his his free arm to Tua, who grabbed it and-
.
A flash and the sound of jets was heard as Dropkick saw Ish (Torgo in his NFLR) and Soar carrying Tua to safety.
Dropkick: This was-not anticipated.
Wildcard: DROPKICK! DROPKICK COME IN! YOU BETTER HAVE MY-
Dropkick: Four sir.
With that he turned off the screen, speechless.
.
Tua's Grandfather woke up from the bright light yawning.
Rex Ryan: Well, that happened.
Tua's Grandfather: Did the game start y-
He lept from Sione arms seeing the light and ran abit closer. He saw the light and from it, the Guardian, Jet's Rusher and-
Tua's Grandfather: *awe* Tua...That Rusher was right. He is one.
Metlife Stadium...
Soar landed and dropped Ish and Tua onto the field, Ish powering down and Torgo jumping out.
Tua: So-i'm guess that is how you got tickets.
Ish: Yeah, Torgo is actually Torgogo the Legend Rusher, so are Shoc as Shock and Lee as Rush Lee. I'm a Guardian, so are Ash and Troy-
Tua then quickly looked down in his arms-in them was just the Megacore.
Tua: *begins to panic* WHERE'S-
It was there a ball of light came out to them and Spads jumped out panting. Torgo eyes widen as Soar shoke. The cloths were off onto the field, revealing the scars around him. Spads looked up, and froze seeing now both Soar (who had removed his mask seeing him up close) and Torgo.
Torgo: *bit of horror* T-those numbers, I-It was you?
Spads was silent-before tears welled in his eyes and he broke down crying as Torgo hugged him in his own tears. Spads hugged back wailing into him as the pent up emotions of so many years of confinement finally boiled over.
Torgo: *Tears* Spads I am so sorry, so *chokes* so sorry.
Spads shoke his head, not agreeing that Torgo should blame himself. Soar had his tears fall as he went over into the hug. Ish was hit with the information that he gather in that moment.
Ish: He's from Torgo's team, he's a legend..Tua-
Tua stopped him wanting the three to gather themselves. Torgo took a shaky breath and broke the hug to look at him.
Torgo: *calms himself* I-I am so glad your safe now. *to Tua* Tua-thank you.
Tua gave a nod when Soar gasped.
Soar: Spads your wrist-!?
Torgo looked at the wrist where the numbers were-WERE being the key factor as they were gone and remained was-
Torgo: Ish you talk to Tua and catch him up, me and Soar are gonna patch up Spads.
Ish and Tua nodded as both Rusherz lead Spads inside for help. Ish turned to Tua.
Tua: So, Torgo is a nickname and a disguise for Torgogo, same are Shock and Rush Lee. Their your Legends with you being a Guardian?
Ish: Yeah. Me, Ash, Troy...and now *hands him a NFLR* you.
Tua: *Shock* R-Really? ME?
Ish: You went after to protect both Spads and the Megacore even though no one ask you too. You took your time to help Spads even reuniting him with the others. When you grabbed him you two formed a LINK so he's now apart of you. You earned it.
Tua was speechless, causing Ish to chuckle a bit.
Ish: Put it on.
Tua smiled as he put it on looking it over.
Tua: Oh man, the family gonna flip. Spads was right-
Ish: *shock* HOLD ON? THEY KNOW?
Tua: It was a guess, when we meet Spads called me Guardian.
Ish whistled and rubbed his head.
Ish: Well, there goes keeping that a secret. We'll figure that out with the others later, right now we got bigger fish to fry. Wildcard hate losing more than anything so he will definitely be coming back for the Jets Megacore.
Tua nodded in agreement.
Tua: So what now?
Ish: We have alot of work to do.
.
.
Spads winced as the newly formed wound on his wrist was being cleaned up in the locker room. Soar had brought out the first aid kit and Torgo was cleaning it.
Torgo: You going to be okay a bit longer?
Spads with a breath nodding. Torgo sighed as he gentle rubbed disinfectant on it before covering the wound.
Soar: Spads, your voice-it's so raspy and broken.
Spads: F-From scre-screaming. T-Tua's fa-family he-help me so i-its be-better than be-before.
Torgo: It was worse before-*feels guilty* Spads, I am so sorry. I can't imagine what kinda of torture you gone through-
Spads shoke his head fast.
Spads: N-Not yo-your faul-fault. T-They tol-told me y-you we-were al-all ki-killed.
Soar: *eyes widen* They said that to you?
Spads: I sa-saw Tor-Torgo's b-body. So th-they ha-had evid-evidance.
Torg face paled realizing he had saw him being blasted and sent flying with no clue if he survived.
Torgo: Oh man, Spads.
Spads gave a weak smile at him.
Spads: Bu-But Y-Your h-he-here. Y-You a-all ar-are he-here
Torgo made a small smile giving Spads a hug.
Torgo: Yeah, we're all here and your here. And we're going to help you all the way through this.
Spads smile grew as he hugged back with Soar smiling.
Meanwhile...
Wild: So, let me get this straight. You failed me yet again.
Dropkick was frazzled as he looked trough the screen for information in the Wildcar.
Dropkick: *frazzled* IT WASN'T ME! THE CAR-AND THE BUS-AND THEN THE FORTH ONE-
Wildcard: Please do not remind me that there is now four Dropkick, your description on what you saw disturbs even me. Also, what kind of soldier blames his horse? Really? I knew i would need backup. *glares* Now listen, bring me back that Megacore or the Wildcar will find itself with a NEW HOOD ORNAMENT!
With that the screen went dark.
Stadium..
Michel Irvin (radio): It's a perfect night for Football right here in New Jersey
Rich Esien (radio) : Tonight the stadium is glowing green for Rex Ryan and the New York Jets as they take on the Arizona Cardinals.
Soar smiled from behind the mask as he place the Megacore in the bus vault.
Soar: There we go, good as new.
He walks out of the bus to the others.
Tua: My Grandpa said he would be waiting for me, he is just as shock as i was when you gave me the NFLR. It's halftime so what do we do now?
Ish: Torgo decided to update the others.
Soar:-How did that go with, Spads condition?
Ish looked away for a bit sighing.
Ish: Shock was crying on the other line and I think Rush Lee took out some benches. Otherwise their happy to hear Spads return.
Tua: Speaking of which wear is he? He went off with Torgo.
Torgo: Right here.
Torgo and Peck walked as they went to the side showing Spads outfit. Spads now wore a bright red and white uniform, shyly smiling.
Peck: TADA!
Ish and Tue smiled as Soar gave a thumbs up.
Soar: Looking good Spads, take it Peck hook you up to?
Tua: *Surprise* He made that?
Soar: Hobby of his.
Peck: Yeah, i figure this would help him be more comfortable.
It was there the alarms blared making Spads jump there.
Soar: Stadium Warning system going off.
Ish: Looks like he's here already. You ready Tua?
Tua: Oh, It's on! Spads?
Spads took a breath, eyes turning to determination nodded.
Torgo: Spads, are you sure?
Spads: Y-Yes. I-I am wi-with yo-you.
.
.
Outside the Wildcar slammed into some fencing as it drove before he stopped the car
Dropkick: I know it is here, there is no sense to hid it from me-
A note hit the vehicle as the Wildcar bounced.
Dropkick: W-WHAT THE-
The battle bus came barreling out, Soar ACTUALLY TRIED TO RUN HIM OVER with a battle cry. Dropkick drove the car back as the Bus went by before it park. Ish, Torgo, Tua and Spads came out with Soar in the driver seat.
Ish: Dang Soar! You nearly smashed him to the pavement.
Soar: Mad about what Spads gone through-This is ironically therapeutic.
Tua: That-was SICK! But now what do we do?
Torgo: Follow Ish's lead, ready?
Ish: *nods* ENTER THE RUSH ZONE!
With that Ish was in his armor, Tua nodding.
Tua: Okay, I can do this. Spads, stand back a bit. *Spads does that* ENTER THE RUSH ZONE!
With that Tua was now in Guardian armor as Spads was in awe seeing this.
Tua: *excited* How cool is that?!
Spads: *awe* S-So co-cool.
The cycle Bots came around aiming for the heroes, Ish using his shield to knock them back only succeeding in getting one.
Torgo: *battle stance* Least that one down.
Tua made his own shield over him and Spads as he sent one up in the air and crashing to the pavement below in pieces.
Tua: Now that is what i called Blocking.
Spads smiled but then pointed the last on heading to Ish before it was stopped in place by Torgo, wheels screeching as he held it in place.
Ish: Hey Tua! Little help here?! Torgo gonna get road burn to the max if he keeps this up!
Both ran as Tua did a dive and sent the cycle bot Flying, Spads sending a small sound wave that manage to destroy it.
Torgo:-I swear when we get home we're checking your voice buddy.
Dropkick: *driving over* It is not over yet Guardians and Legends!
With that he sent a blast to the bus and Soar.
Spads: *panic* S-SOAR!
Soar immediately reacted and drove off-however, he was hit by the second blast.
Ish: We got to protect them!
Tua: You two take the bus, we'll handle these guys.
Torgo: Divide and conquer, nice plan Tiny.
With that he went into Ish's NFLR as Tua tackled the Blitzbot away and Ish jumped the car lighting.
Tua: Take that Blitzbot!
Ish smiled as he made it in time in intercept the Wildcar and blasted Torgo at him, only for him to miss as the car drove back and he returned.
Torgo's voice: He's fast no way we can catch him.
They saw Tua tackling another one to the ground pummeling it smirking.
Tua: We could get us to this right-*worry* Spads?
-Spads was shaking. Dropkick drove the vehicle to the front.
Dropkick: Give up, Victory is in my grasp.
Ish: Not if we have anything to say about it!
Ish tried again with Torgo but the Wildcar became transparent, before blasting the bus again.
Torgo: *jumps out* SOAR YOU ALRIGHT?!
-Nothing. Spads was in PANIC MODE seeing that.
Dropkick: All, *Spads breaths hard* too *eyes shrink* EAS-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Spads scream was LOUD, eyes in anger and determination. The shock wave sent back the Guardians, Torgo and the Wildcar (though a bit). The pavement cracks and the area shoke. Everyone had to cover their ears.
Ish: *Loud* RZ, ARE YOU HEARING THIS!
RZ: *Loud* YES! IT EVEN LOAD THROUGH THE SCREENS SO I LOWERED THE VOLUME BEFORE CANTON GETS A EARTHQUAKE!
Tua: *Loud* WHAT THE HEY IS THIS?!
Torgo: *Loud* SPAD'S POWER, VOCAL FREQUENCY! THAT COULD EXPLAIN HIS VOICE WHEN HE TALKS BUT IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THIS STILL WORKS, ALL BE IT INTENSIFIED!
Ish: *Loud* YEAH, BUT WE NEED TO STOP THIS THING WITHOUT DEAFENING ALL OF NEW YORK! RZ YOU GOT ANYTHING?!
RZ: *Loud* YES! I HAVE ANALYZED THE LIQUID SONAR SAMPLE YOU BROUGHT BACK, IF WE DISRUPT THE FREQUENCY YOU MAY HAVE A CHANCE TO DISARM IT!
Torgo: *Loud* I BELIEVE TALKING WOULD WORK BETTER SINCE THE SCREAMING IS STUNNING IT! IT NEEDS TO BE ON PAR WITH SPADS!
Tua sees the boom and audio crew covering their ears, a idea forming fast.
Tua: *Loud* I HAVE AN IDEA! COVER ME!
.
.
Peck: *Loud* MY HEAD! WHAT THE SHARDS OF THE CORE IS THIS MAKE IT STOP!
Everyone in the field was covering their ears, lights being shattered to bits and even the turf cracking in places.
Peck: *Loud; to Rex Ryan* I SWEAR SOAR SAID HE MEET AN OLD FRIEND OF OURS BUT IF IT'S THEM-
Tua came running up to them
Tua: *Loud* COACH!
Rex Ryan: *Loud* GUARDIAN! CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG!? WHO IS SCREAMING THIS LOUD AND I KNOW IT'S NOT FREEFALL!
Tua: *Loud* EXPLAIN ON THE WAY WE NEED YOUR HELP!
RZ: *Loud* I AM SETTING THE FREQUENCY, WE ARE LOCK IN!
Peck: *Loud* WELL IT BETTER BE A GOOD EXPLANATION!
With that the three ran back outside.
.
.
While the Wildcar did blast the bus reveling the Megacore, Dropkick could not even move with the scream continuing. Needless to say Both Rex Ryan and Peck were in shoke at what they were seeing.
Peck: *Loud;Shock* THAT'S FROM SPADS?!
Tua: *Loud* YEAH, WILL EXPLAIN LATER! RIGHT NOW SOAR AND THE MEGACORE ARE IN DANGER! I NEED YOU TO BOOM OUT SOME AUDIBLES, SPADS SCREAMING IS JUST STUNNING IT!
Rex Ryan: *Loud* GLADLY!
With the the megaphone was set as the feedback blared.
Tua: *Loud;connects the wire* OKAY, NOW THIS WILL MAKE YOU EXTREMELY LOUD! READY?! *Rex nodded; Tua raises his arm* LET IT FLY COACH!
Rex Ryan took a deep breath and-
Rex Ryan: *Loud* GREEN 52! RAZOR! BEARCLAR! PURPLE BANANA! STINGER! HOPSCOTCH!-
Peck: *Loud* NEVER HAVE I BEEN SO RELIEVED WITH THESE RANDOM START CALL!
Both combined sound hit the Wildcar as it fell apart, some even turning to dust.
Torgo: *Loud* IT'S WORKING!
Ish: *Loud* WAY TO GO TUA!
Dropkick: RETREAT! RETREAT!
With that Dropkick dove off as Rex Ryan stopped-
Ish: *Loud* AND STAY OUT!
-as did Spads who panted as fell to his knees, The bus door opened as Soar stumbled out being caught by Peck who flew over.
Soar: Urg, my head is killing me.
Peck: Reasons for that.
Tua went over to Spads and he patted on his back, Spads looking up to see everyone okay.
Tua: Hey, we're all okay. That was really helpful. Loud, but helpful.
Spads gave a weak smiling before leaning on the new Guardian, tired from the screaming as the others ran over.
.
.
Soar: And-*places Megacore* THERE! New vault is finally finished, and not a minute soon.
Ish: Yeah, *To Tua* Tua that was genius with that combo idea there!
Tua: Thanks Ish, but i couldn't have done it without Coach Ryan and Spads.
Ish: You thought on you feet, that definitely shows you got what it takes.
Peck: Yeah-*looks worried* Now for the current situation, we need to look into Spads.
The group turned to the Legends in worry. Shock was sobbing gently holding Spads who hugged back, Rush Lee was gripping his weapon to control the rising anger in him as Torgo comforted his team.
Ash: It sad, he's gone through so much.
Troy: And i don't want to imagine what he went through.
Soar: Neither do we, but we'll have to find out eventually. For now give him some time and patients. He'll open up bit by bit.
Tua: And there's another problem-my family.
Peck: Why's that?
?: Cause we got the news that my grandson is a GUARDIAN with a LEGEND RUSHER.
They turned to see Tua's grandfather, smirking.
Tua's Grandfather: And we got the news straight from his mouth as well.
At THAT moment, the rest Guardians and Rusherz turned to Spads in shock.
Spads: *confused* H-He is th-though, r-right?
Meanwhile...
Wildcard: So, I give you the best of the best-AND THIS IS HOW YOU RETURN?!
The Wildcar was in shambles, Dropkick blinked.
Dropkick: Pardon me master, my hearing circuit has ruptured due to the new Legend. I cannot hear a word you are saying, pity.
Wildcard eye twitched before going off on what Dropkick could perceive as a cursing rant.
Dropkick: Perhaps i will make this modification permanent ...no, that will give the legend some satisfaction.
Canton Ohio, Tua's house...
Soar: -So yeah, that is basically all the info.
Tua family was speechless as Spads shuffled next to Soar. The Rusher had volunteered to tell them the news and information, while the others rested.
Tua's father: So it is true, my son a Guardian.
Soar: Make no mistake this all happened on pure accident, to be honest this was supposed to be kept secret.
Spads blushed in worry at that, Soar comforting him.
Soar: But, given the circumstances I suppose it was all for good reason.
Tua: So, what now? Even being a Guardian I still got homework to think ab-
Tua mother smiled as she showed him the work he had done when Spad's arrived, they had been checked as it showed MAJOR improvement.
Tua's mother: I showed these to Ms. Jarvis when we were at the speech. She was quite surprise to see the difference in these. Spads *looks at her* I believe your motivation is quite infectious, With this Tua you can go back to playing on the team.
Tua: *smiles* REALLY?!
Soar: If i may put my two cents in...may I ask a favor.
Tua's mother: Of course.
Soar: Would you-mind continuing to house Spads? He seems comfortable with you and he trusts you all.
Tua's father: Of course. We already decided that the night we found him.
Nina: What about his voice?
Tua gave a thought, then nodded.
Tua: My assignments, he can practice reading the questions out loud.
Tua's Grandfather: *smirks* Not the volume we heard at the stadium I hope.
Spads: *puffs his checks* I-I wa-was wor-worried.
Soar smiled at the idea.
Soar: I like it-well then, welcome to the madness Tuploa family.
.
.
Coach Jones: Okay everybody, we are going to have to step up our game without Tua today.
The bulldogs nodded, the team done warming up for the game today.
Ash: I know but, it's just not the same without Tiny.
Marty: I agree, this game is going to be tough without the big guy.
Coach Jones: Exactly, so we will all have to work much harder for that.
Troy sighed, nodding.
Troy: I know it's going to sound weird coming from me, but his parents are doing the right thing If he doesn't catch up with assignments, it's going to get harder.
Coach Jones: You make an excellent point, but i-
?: Troy's right.
Everyone turned to see Tua in uniform, with Spads in disguised and hiding behind him.
All four: TUA!
Ash: Your in uniform! Your parents are letting you play.
Tua: Yeah, found some motivation and figured it out. Like Coach Ryan said practice makes perfect but-*looks at Spads* Hope you don't mind a guest.
Spads poked his head out, before hiding as Coach Jones went over.
Coach Jones: Friend of yours?
Tua: Family friend. He's-gone through a lot so he moved in with us. He's REALLY shy, so please be cautious.
Marty: Gotcha, he has a name?
Tua nodded, it was his parents idea to make a name from their home.
Tua: Suo. His name is Suo, it's Samoan for Spades.
The team nodded as Tua lead Spads to the benches with Ish.
Ish: Good to have you back Tua.
Tua smiled as he gave one to Spads as well. Spads gave a small one as Tua and Ish joined the team.
Coach Jones: Okay Bulldogs! Let's get out there and win this!
Ash: *Runs to the field* LET'S GO TEAM!
Ish: *leads* COME ON GUYS! LET'S DO THIS!
Tua turned back to Spads, who smiled warmly as he waved..Tua did the same and waved back.
End of Episode.
