Part 2: Silver Wind

February 20, 2024...

Toro walked down the pathway back to the Hall of fame, the sun shining brightly against the late winter's cold weather. He sighed, stopping and looking at the sky...SIX DAYS. It had been six days since that horrifying day, a day that should of been a celebration turned terror. He went out to help calm his mind, but once he got word that Chief, Pillage, and Pick-Ax had retrieved Arrow-Head and they were home he started to head back.

Toro: I really don't get these humans now these days.

He watched the sun shone brightly, his mind going back on that day-

February 14; HOK...

SILENCE. HORRIFYING SILENCE RANG. The Guardians were pale as ghost, Sandra and Matt holding eachother as the Rusherz stared at the screen. Even RZ was in horror as to what they just witnessed.

Finally, someone spoke-

Talon: *horror* W-What did we all just witnessed.

Freedom: *Horror* T-That was horrifying.

Ish: NBA, MLB, -gulps- N-NFL. All in the span of a few months. This-This isn't right, none of this is right.

All were shaken at the event they all saw, some of the Rusherz having to sit down.

Bolt:-I-IS ARROW-HEAD OKAY?

All felt a chill down their spines at the questions-Was Arrow-Head alright? What about the team and their families? Were there victims, dead or injured?

RZ: The portal to Kansas emergency closed once everything went to chaos. It will be a while for them to open.

It would be awhile for them to see Arrow-Head in person. Stampede took a breath, shaking as he calmed his heart. Arrow-Head was in his division, this was his responsibility and he wanted to save Liberty from having to deal with another horrifying event.

Stampede: O-Okay...we need to keep the information coming from this. RZ, can you keep any news regarding this situation on the screens.

RZ: *Nods* Of course.

Lt Matt: I'll check with the armed forces stationed in Kansas, should be able to see what is going on.

Stampede: Thank you Lt. Matt. *to the Guardians* You guys need to check the other stadiums, I want a full sweep on the area so we can make sure they are safe. Know it's silly but I'm not taking any chances.

Guardians: Right.

Ash: We'll also leave a message to the city offering our support.

Stampede nodded and turned to Sandra, Liberty watching on in awe.

Stampede: Sandra, get in contact with the commissioner and the owners. We need to look into the situation and see what we need to do to prevent this in the future.

Sandra: Of course.

Troy: Okay then, we'll head off and we'll be careful.

With a shout all six guardians dispersed to differnt portals, Sandra and Matt running off to do their part as RZ kept watch on the screens. Liberty, walked forward placing his hand on the Bill Rusherz' shoulders.

Liberty: Stampede-

Stampede: I don't want you to have anymore tragedies on your mind Lib. This time I'll face them.

Liberty couldn't help but give a small grateful smile to him, giving him a quick hug before Stampede turned serious.

Stampede: *Serious* I want ALL RUSHERZ on deck and checking the area and news around Kansas city! I want every single update, every single information, EVERY SINGLE REPORT accounted for and in writing and typed up!

All Rusherz present nodded in determination as they all went to work.

Freefall: Chief, Pillage and Pick-Ax are still out. Any ideas on what we should do?

Stampede took a breath, before giving a small but weak smile.

Stampede: Those three are probably making plans to get to Kansas once the word gets out. Arrow-Head is going to need alot of support he can get; Chief's his little brother, Pillage sadly been though this before and Pick-Ax was his competition in the Super Bowl. I know those three will help get him back here.

Liberty: As for what happens after...we'll-play it by year.

Present...

Stampede took charge, and needless to say the Bills team followed his lead with the donations they started two days after. Once Stampede got word on what they were doing, as well as his fans involvement, he couldn't help but tear up in pride at his Bills Mafia.

?: TORO!

Toro looked to the side seeing Pack running over.

Pack: You okay? You were gone a bit longer than your message suggested.

Toro: Y-Yeah just-thinking about that day. Sorry about that.

Pack nodded in understanding.

Pack: Still on my mind too, same with the others. It's-gonna be a while for it all to sink in. Important thing is they caught the ones involved, the team helped their fans, and the situation was stopped before the numbers climbed for both dead and injured.

Toro gave a small smile nodding as the two went back to the Hall of Fame.

HOK...

Stampede slumped in his chair, DRAIN BUT SATISFIED on the fact Arrow-Head had returned home. A cup of a warm drink was set next to him, Stampede turning a bit to see Liberty holding one as well.

Liberty: You look like you needed some Hot chocolate.

Stampede: Thanks *takes cup and a drink*, I needed that.

Liberty smiled as he sat next to the Bill Rusher sighing.

Liberty: Any other updates?

Stampede: Still the same, those two are being under watch by the officers. Charities are in full swing..*small smile* Even my team and fans joined in, shards I love those guys . How is Arrow-Head? I heard he got sick.

Liberty: Bit feverous, Chief and Pillage are taking care of him but-then there's the Megacore.

Stampede sat up a bit taking a drink.

Stampede: What's wrong with the Chief's Megacore?

Liberty: It's energy is at a stand still and it's dull, Not even glowing. Stopped once they came back to the HOK.

At that moment RZ appeared next to them.

RZ: I have a answer to his. Sandra and I have looked into this, and we beleive the energy was placed in a shock state with the event. It stopped glowing once it knew Arrow-Head was safe

Stampede pondered on this fact.

Stampede: So, the energy is at a stand still. That means it will be a while for the Core to receive the Chief's energy from their season.

RZ: Indeed.

Liberty leaned in taking a drink.

Liberty: Everything just happened so fast and now-things are just slowing down.

Stampede: Let us be glad that the situation was taken care of before it escalated...Right now, our focus is on Arrow-Head and his recovery.

RZ gave a small smile nodding.

RZ: Pillage will be a massive help given he, unfortunately, had experience a situation like this a few years back.

Liberty: *small smile* And Chief is gonna stay by his side as well. We all will be there for him

.

.

Arrow-Head laid in bed, Chief placing a cool cloth on his forehead as he rested. He sighed as he grabbed his hand.

Chief: Least your safe and home now...*Warm smile* Don't worry Arrow-Head, I'll be right by your side the whole way. You've been by my side though the hard days, especially the past 24 years..so this time I'll by yours.

Chief gently climbed into Arrow-Head bed and hugged him, slowly falling asleep as he held his older brother in a protective hug...

...A blanket was placed on Chief as Pillage watched the two sleep, a tired look in his eyes as he sat down next to the bed.

Pillage: Arrow-Head, I'm so sorry you had to go through this...*determination* This time I'm staying by you twos side, until this case ends I'm not going anywhere.

With that Pillage started his guard vigil next to the two brothers.

Neither of the two Rusherz were not going anywhere any time soon, Arrow-Head needed them now more than ever.
