Guardians and the NFC East Rusherz
Part 4: NOT HOLDING BACK
Fields, Ohio...
The rain began to fell as the scene darken with the clouds, Liberty's torch being the only light seen.
Sudden Death: First, i must say. All these recent events are, quite surprising.
Liberty: *Scoffs* So, you didn't know either. *glares at the four Anticorians* Figures, you guys planed this didn't you. The accident I had to the attack on the Draft; YOU ALL PLANNED THIS JUST TO GET TO THE GUARDIANS.
The four darkly chuckled, nodding to confirm Liberty's observation.
Stellaria: I must say, you pick up fast. Strange, how that was the opposite with your type-
Liberty: *glares* Cause you sneaked attacked us. Nothing new with Anticorians from Zatu's side.
Zatu's Commander:..So, you saw.
Liberty: *glares;smirks* Hehe, even his brother from all those years ago kin saw through his shade. The fact you knew tells me everything, so...*smirk falls* WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Sudden Death: *intrigued* Yes, as much as it is a honor to meet the current commander of my benefactor what does bring you here?
Angkoro: *dark chuckle* Oh, just sit back and watch the show.
The three rouges and Sudden Death stepped back, the commander stepping forward as he tossed an object in the air. A screen appeared...and there was LORD ZATU.
Lord Zatu (on screen): LIBERTY THE GIANTS RUSHER, BEEN AWHILE HASN'T IT.
Liberty: *anger* You, what's with all this!? What was with that threat letter!?
Lord Zatu (on screen): Why incentive and the truth. Granted i thought the Knights of the sky would come with you once finding out, but you manage to keep that hidden. I must admit, I'm impressed.
Liberty: *anger* QUITE STALLING AND TELL ME WHY YOUR COMMANDER IS HERE!
The thunder roared with Liberty's annoyance.
Zatu's Commander: Well sir, shall i?
Lord Zatu (on screen): *nods*...BEGIN.
The commander quickly went behind Liberty, kicking him hard and into the trees with a loud crack. Liberty shakenly got up bruised and tattered, a bloody lip in a frown.
Liberty: *anger* Oh, you want to play. *gets up;body glows* LET'S PLAY.
Liberty ran over leaping up and slamming his foot one the commander, who grabbed it and flung him. Liberty pointed his torch sending a mirage of fire balls at him, the commander shielding himself despite the scorch marks on his armor.
He snarled as Liberty landed as darted forward. He began to send blast after blast at him, blasting the earth as Liberty send back his own fire. Liberty groaned in annoyance as the fireballs became a fire stream, the commander going to the side.
He made a fist stopping Liberty in his tracked with a hard punch to the gut, sending him to the ground bouncing. Liberty shakenly got up panting.
Liberty: *anger* Oh, your playing that game huh? ALRIGHT THEN!
In a flash Liberty was in silver as he jumped a smashed his fist onto the commander's face, sending him to the side. The commander fixed his helmet chuckling.
Zatu's commander: My my, so the legends are true. *to the rouges* Your reports were accurate and detailed, very valuable.
Liberty: *anger* YOU TOLD THEM!?
Angkoro: Of course, why would we lie. Need to have ourselves prepare you know.
Liberty: *anger* Arg the armors gonna be hard to break then with this knowledge! The others are going to flip hearing this you are SO GOING DONE!
Zatu's Commander: *smirks* Then don't hold back.
With a scream of anger, Liberty bolted forward in a fiery ball and rage. The commander put his hands up as Liberty barreled into the hands. A wall of fire rose to the air and Liberty continued to try and plow through the hands.
Knowing this would not work, Liberty went down and fiery side-kicked the commander's legs. He fell to the ground as Liberty sent a fire shot at him, the Commander rolling to the side. The commander got back up, snarling as he managed to grab Liberty's arm. He smashed it to the ground as the Gaint Rusher screamed in pain and anger.
Zatu's commander: Oh, broke something?
Liberty: *pain/anger* PSYCHOPATH!
Liberty smacked him away with a literal fire on his face, smacking him as he screamed in shock. Liberty grabbed his now broken arm wincing.
Liberty: *pain/anger* Dang it, I'm literally running on fumes at this point. If this keeps up he'll slaughter me and go after the kids and others; the way he is fighting tells me he's going to do the same thing with them I CANNOT HAVE THAT!
Liberty spun around making a fire tornado, the tornado rising into the storm and hitting the clouds. The commander, free of the fire from his armored helmet, looked seeing the falling fire balls and the massive fire tornado in the sky.
Zatu's commander: Interesting. Well then *presses a button*.
The commander's armor glowed, running to the fire tornado. He avoided the falling fireballs to the best of his ability before he found himself plowing though the tornado's wall and in the eye.
Liberty responded to the unwelcomed guest by covering his OWN BODY with the flames, making any of the commander's attempted to grab him a futile effort. With each grab it was an inferno almost melting his armor.
Liberty: *pain/anger* WHAT"S WRONG?! TOO HOT FOR YOU?!
Zatu's commander: I'm not finished yet!
The commander threw small balls in the air, three Blitzborgs coming out and when the next bolt of lightning struck, they did too.
The inferno tornado was met with the bolts as it traveled down the ground and went to Liberty, who screamed in agony as he was hit and the tornado dissipated. The commander had jumped out of the way before the clash.
Liberty fell to his knees, now covered in scorch marks and burns on his body. He got up shankenly once again before he used his torch to suck up the fire and with a few waves of his weapon, made multiple fire orbs that contacted the electric bolts. Before he was hit again he sent them flying to the commander, who smacked most of them away as a few hit him.
Liberty: *pain/anger* Y-You all planned this, just to get to those kids...*wincing* D-Dang it, Feel some of the old wounds back in February open up.
Liberty covered his mouth as he coughed up blood, still sending the fire orbs to the commander.
Lord Zatu (on screen): This surely isn't your full power Rusher. Can it be...YOUR STILL HOLDING BACK?
Liberty's eyes widen in horror...Zatu could still tell.
He soon felt his back on fire and the commander had made it over with that deduction and smashed his fist into his back, making his rasply screamed. He turned to kick him, only for him to grab his leg again and smashed it to the ground, Liberty eyes shrinking at the pain we was enduring.
With that, the commander grabbed him and after raising him high...plunging his body to the ground.
.
.
Liberty whole body was screaming as old and new injuries flooded him. He felt a sharp pain mostly on his side as he looked, the commander had put a sharp danger in the finger of his armor and it was plunging out of his. Out of his silvery form and in tattered cloths, Liberty was flung to the ground in a heap.
Sudden Death: *impressed* Impressive. Even after all that, you can still tell these Rusherz are holding back.
Lord Zatu (on screen): Of course, i did take their life force to eternalized my own. This is just another example on how truly weak they are.
Zatu's commander: It's a pity, these creature hold back cause they feel they are weak. Surely this is more of the reason WE SHOULD HAVE THE CORE.
Liberty: *absolute agony/anger*...You really think that's the reason we hold back?
All turned in shock the see Liberty, limp bloody and in pain, got up. His weapon laid far on the side as he looked at the very fiends who tortured him and his friends.
Liberty: *absolute agony/anger..smirking?*...heh..hehe...*laughing?* REALLY? YOU THINK IT'S BECAUSE WE ARE TOO WEAK TO USE IT. No no, it's cause it's pure DECIMATION TO ANY OTHER LIFE FORCES. W-Why do you all think we keep it in check here and even back on Cordalion!? Humans are not Rusherz, and neither ARE YOU!
The commander and Zatu were getting bored of this game now, finally having enough.
Lord Zatu (on screen): WE'LL IF THAT IS TRUE THEN PROVE IT! PROVE TO ME, MY COMMANDER, SUDDEN DEATH AND MY FOLLOWERS WE ARE WRONG. PROVE TO ME YOU DO THIS TO PROTECT YOUR PRECIOUS KNIGHTS OF THE SKY AND THE PATHETIC LOW LIFEFORMS!
Zatu's commander: YOU HEARD MY LORDSHIP, DO NOT HOLD BACK ON ME GIANT RUSHER! DO NOT HOLD BACK, NOT LIKE YOU CAN ANYWAY *LAUGHS*!
Liberty: *absolute agony/anger*...DON'T HOLD BACK?
..The air grew extremely dense, a density not reached on this planet. The sky darkened almost as a moonless stormy night. Lord Zatu, Sudden Death and the three rouges looked confused seeing the sky..
..THEN THEY SAW LIBERTY.
Liberty (ECHOS): *absolute agony*...FINE...I WON'T.
The commander looked up mid laughter...and all saw it.
They did not see the golden glow from most Rusherz, or the slivery form Liberty had took in battle. They did not see the aura form for boost or a body made of flames. They saw something much older, much powerful. They saw Liberty in a form never seen or named, a form not seen in eons.
And the commander's last sight, was the sight of Liberty's unbroken fiery leg heading straight to his head, AND BLOOD RED EYES.
.
THUNDER BANG!
.
...THE STORM, HAD ENDED. Liberty tumbled to the ground, steadying himself as he turned. Zatu, Sudden Death and the three rouges Anticorians we left in stunned silence.
The now headless body of the commander, fell to the ground, the head being sent flying to another location.
Liberty: *absolute agony* W-Well, ya happy. I didn't hold back.
He was a mess; Helmet cracked and broken with whisp of hair poking out. He had a split lip and a bloody nose, his face covered in bruises. His body was covered in bruises, burns, and laceration some of which were located in places that were from where Stellaria had hit him with her car back in February. The gushing wound on his side dyed the ground beneath him.
All looked at the Gaint Rusher.
Liberty: *absolute agony;to Lord Zatu and Sudden Death* What's wrong...not the answer you wanted. Sorry to say but you two are safe from being mauled by us Rusherz. The only reason we can't end monster like you, ZATU AND SUDDEN DEATH, is cause you match us with your negative energy..believe me not even this would stop you..Heh, it's funny really, this could stop the greatest evil of all time yet can't stop you; strange..besides, It was told that the Guardians could surpass beings like you; they were destined to defeat you, not us, we are the support. This guy however, is child's play to us...so, any other things you want me to debunk?
Lord Zatu (on screen): *stunned*..*anger* THIS, THIS IS NOT THE END.
The screen closed and the device fell to the ground.
Sudden Death:..*eyes narrow* So, you have been holding back for all these low life-forms...WHY? What worth are any of these life forms even on this planet worth?
Liberty, despite being in pure agony, stood up straight and determined.
Liberty: *absolute agony;determined* Cause unlike you and Zatu, we would never intentionally harm the lives of others. We know how powerful we are, and we make sure to keep that in check with all around us. We thought that there were some in Zatu's army that did not want to fight us, or where blackmailed into the war...given Balen and his crew, I'm glad we made the right choice. Cause deep down I know those who were related to those many years ago are fighting alongside Balen. Perhaps...one day, we will meet him again. For now...*eyes narrow* I'm more merciful than Zatu and you Sudden Death, so leave before you cronies end up like the commander or at least, in your case Sudden Death, have to make another body for yourself due to extreme damage.
The three Anitcorians readied to fight...but Sudden Death stopped them.
Sudden Death: We will need to make a new plan for this, will take time but i prefer we all not worry about being dead. *looks up* Liberty the Giant Rusher.
Both stood their grounds as they starred at eachother.
Sudden Death: *eyes narrow* I will get you all, those Guardians will pay for saving your lives.
..With that they teleported out.
...
Liberty sighed, looking at the sky.
Liberty: *absolute agony* Tired...I need to take a break...*thinks*... Joseph.
Liberty slowly limped away from the field; leaving his weapon, the body of the commander, and a blood trail behind him.
To Be Continued...
Leave you all to mull over this development.
