Get yourself ready cause...yeah this is going to be a mind buzz for our heroes.
Also I think a certain friend of mine here on the site is going to love how a certain favorite character of his reaction to here is going to be ;).
Guardians and the NFC East Rusherz
Part 8: The Search for Liberty- Help from the past
?...
Ish: *looks around* Okay, I'm literally at a loss here.
Sandra: Ish, what in the world happened? What did you do?
Ish turned to his parents.
Ish: We were told that Liberty needed to wake up in order to get out of critical condition, so we thought we give him some of our power to wake him up and...then this happened-
Lt. Matt: *Stunned with Sandra* You tried to share your power?!
Ish nodded, nervous but he really wanted to find out where he, his family and his friends and their families were..
?: *chuckles* Oh boy kid, i can't wait to see how you will explain getting here to Bolt and the others.
All three froze at the voice, turning around to see a VERY FAMILIAR MAN.
Ish: *Awe* D-Don Coyrell!
Don Coryell: *smiling* Nice to meet you Ishmael. Heard alot about you, *To Sandra and Lt. Matt* and it's nice to meet you as well Sandra and Matt.
Sandra: *awe* I-we-Yes same here but, HOW ARE YOU HERE?
LT. Matt: *awe* And where are we?
Don walked over, looking around the area.
Don Coryell: Well, first things first no you aren't dead, wanted to get that out of the way before anything. Second, this is a place is where the Rusherz can go willenly, *nervous* or when they get too beat up and sick *normal* to meet us.
Ish: *awe* So..your telling me that these guys can come here and basically talk to spirits?
Don Coryell: MOST OF THEM, gotta follow rule of belief protocol but alot of us are here..ALOT OF US. The Rusherz have a ways to sense them, BUT as much as i want to explain more in details on how this place works we got bigger fish to fry right now, there's a good reason why your here.
Ish awe faded as realization hit him.
Ish: Hold on, is this place going to help Liberty!?
Don Coryell: This is where Liberty is.
That got all three of their attention as Ish ran over to him.
Ish: LIBERTY IS HERE!?
Don Coryell: *Smiles* Yep! And I'm here to take you to where you need to be. We all been trying to get in but it appears this is up to the Guardians.
Sandra: That is great news, *small smile* seems you got your answer Ish.
Ish: *smiles* Well Don, please lead the way.
Don smile grew as he lead the Taylors to their destination.
Ish: So um...you mind if, you can give this Charger fan some play tips.
Don Coryell: Well, i can give you the footnotes cause i want you to see for yourself. Would love to see the Air Coryell used in battle.

Charles and Ash looked around in worry.
Charles: *worry* Ash, where are we?
Ash:*worry* I-I don't know, we were suppose to try and give Liberty some of our power to wake him but-
Charles: *worry* He's that serious.
Ash nodded in worry as she looked around..
..then, she froze as tears formed in her eyes. Charles got worried and looked to where she was staring at...and he was left in the same position as her seeing a young women with copper hair and freckles.
Ash: *tears* M-Mom?
Charles: *tears* Darling?
The women walked over with a small smile on her face.
Ash's mother: Hello Charles, Ash.
...The three embraced eachother in tears.
Ash: *tears* I can't believe your here, wherever here is.
Charles: *tears* We miss you so much.
Ash's mother: *tears* I do as well, but I'm so happy to see you two continuing to live your lives. *hug breaks;smiles* Even find new love. Linda is a lovely women, very happy that plan worked.
Charles and Ash blinked in surprise as she chuckled.
Charles: *awe* How did you-your telling me that you help-?
Ash's mother: Even spirits can help in the love life, I know you two were still heartbroken after my passing so..i decided to play a role in helping *to Charles* you find someone. *winks* Not the first time a late partner helped their living love find it again.
Charles:*awe*...I have so many questions on those words alone.
Ash: So, this place is like...some sort of meeting place for spirits?
?: Yep! Freedom was right as ever, smart cookie you are.
The three turned to see two men walk over, Ralph Wilson and another man Ash recognized.
Ash: -gasp- Your Billy Sullivan! The founder of the Patriots!
Billy Sullivan: *chuckles* Correct! Pleasure to meet you Ms. Reynolds, Freedom has told me so much about you.
Ash gave a sheepish chuckle, then turned to Ralph.
Ash: Will say, it is good to see you Mr. Wilson.
Ralph Wilson: Same here, just wish it wasn't under drastic circumstances.
Charles: You mean with Liberty?
All three nodded fast.
Ash's mother: He's trapped here and unfortunately everyone here cannot get him out.
Billy Sullivan: Doesn't help he's inside some sort of Stadium structure.
Charles: So, Ash and her friends were called her to help him out?
Ralph Wilson: Yeah, sorry for surprising you all with this-
Ash: Nono! A-As much as we were surprise...*looks at her mother* At least, we can have a proper talk and goodbye.
Ash's mother nodded with a smile as she lead her husband and daughter to their locations, Ralph and Billy following with a smile.
Billy Sullivan: We'll be behind you three and give you some time.
Ash's mother: Thank you two very much.
With that the three were able to catch up with eachother.

Mr. Kang: Okay...I have no words on the situation you got all us into Troy.
Troy looked around seeing none of his friends
Troy: To be honest I have no idea what we did either. All we wanted was to help Liberty and, well, proof here we are-
Troy's sister: So, this was the result?
Troy was about to answer when he and his family were brought in by a very happy man laughing. Their eyes widen when they saw who it was.
Buddy D: *laughing* YOU BET AND WOOO BOY! THIS, THIS IS GONNA BE A SHOCKER TO THEM!
Mrs. Kang: *shock*...Your Buddy Diliberto?
Buddy D: *grinning* YEP! And let me tell you did I have the greatest seats in the house when the Saints won the Super Bowl back in the 2009 season!
With that Buddy let the shocked family go as they starred at him in awe.
Troy: *awe* Dude, Alto told me so much about you. So..are we-
Buddy D: Nah, your all still alive. But your in a place where the Rusherz come to talk with us.
At this another man walked over, Troy recognizing him fast.
Troy: Sam Mills!
Sam Mills: *smiles* Nice to meet you Troy, Kang family. Sorry for startling you all for bringing you here.
Buddy D: But you need to help Lib get home.
Troy eyes widen, but then turned into determination as he nodded.
Mr. Kang: Troy, are y-
Troy: *to his parents* Not gonna stop now, not gonna stop never. We all promised to protect the league and all in it and I'm not stopping now.
It was silent between the three..then Troy's father gave a smile shaking his head.
Mr. Kang: -sighs- You really changed with this Guardian job.
Mrs. Kang: *small smile* Well, we better not keep him waiting then.
Troy smiled as he turned to his sister, who gave him a smirk nodding.
Troy: *to Buddy and Sam* Alright, lead the way! Let's get Liberty home!
Buddy and Sam smile grew as they lead the family.
Troy: *smirking* Hey Buddy, what was your reaction to the Saints finally winning?
Buddy D: *grinning* Ecstatic! Let me tell you I was hyped for when we made the playoffs-
.
.
Tua: *Awe* Alright, as much as this is concerning...this is also cool.
Tua and his family were left in awe at where they were.
Mrs. Tupola: My word, it feels so calm here.
Mr. Tupola: Indeed but...we really should find out where we are.
Tua's Grandfather: And find the others as well. Got separated from that light.
Nina looked around, then she smiled and laugh as she ran off.
Tua: *worry* NINA!
Mrs. Tupola: NINA-
They froze as Nina tackled the women's leg in a hug, the man next to her laughing.
George Halas: Why look at this little cub, such a brave little cub too running up.
Minne Bushing Halas: -giggles- You remind me of my little Virginia when she was your age.
The Tupola's were left speechless upon seeing the Halas family, even more so when two more man appeared.
Curly Lambuea: *chuckles* Well congrats you two, you manage to break the Guardian and his family's minds.
Vince Lombardi: *smirks* -sighs- We came to pick them up and help Liberty, not break their minds.
Tua: *stunned*...Okay this is the strangest yet greatest situation I've been in my Guardian career.
Nina, who was holding Minne's hand, giggled as she lead the four over. Tua and his family blinked their shock and stunness away once Nina went over to her mother.
George Halas: Now then, nice to meet you Tua and Tuploa family. Pleasure to meet you.
Tua's Grandfather: I-It's an honor to meet the four of you! Truly an honor!
They smiled at this as both Bears and Packers legends looked at Tua.
Curly Lambuea: Heya kid, heard lot of great things about you. Gotta say it is pretty strange we're meeting here of all places.
Tua: Yeah, didn't know this place existed...or that the Rusherz knew.
Vince Lombardi: Well it's kinda hard for them to explain bombshells like this, BUT we're on a time crunch.
Minne Blushing Halas: Indeed, we came to get you to Liberty. Our son is currently with the others on watch so we must hurry.
Tua eyes widen, before nodding in determination.
Tua: You can explain to me the details on the way..*curious* IF you also don't mind-
All four stars smiled chuckling.
George Halas: Of course, we don't mind telling you of our tenure.
Curly Lambuea: And oh boy do we have stories to tell.
Tua and his family smiled as they followed their lead.

Marty: *bit creeped out* OOooohhhh boy, I'm in deep this time.
Harper: *bit creeped out* I think we're beyond deep in this.
The Stevens were creeped out by the fact they were one minute in the hospital, next in this- spirit realm.
Mr. Stevens: Marty...what were you and your friends doing before we came in?
Marty:...Trying to do an energy transfer to Liberty with out power to wake him up.
Mr. Stevens: Ah, I see...and, do you know what th-
Mrs. Stevens: We are in a plane of existence where the Rusherz come to speak to those no longer with us that are connect to the Core. There is a system for all religions done here as to keep to their wishes and respects.
All three gentlemen turned in surprise as the Mrs. smiled and wink.
Mrs. Stevens: Comes when your the therapist for two Rusherz.
?: And boy do those two need it.
Mr. Stevens: *looks over;awe* Incredible.
The rest turned and Marty could fan boy when he saw LEROY KELLY walked over smiling.
Marty: *excitement* Yo-you-your your you-
Leroy Kelly: *chuckles* Yep, I'm him. Nice to meet you Marty.
Marty: *excitement;grabs Harper* HE KNOWS MY NAME.
Marty excitement increased even more when a familiar coach/owner came over laughing with another owner.
Paul Brown: *chuckles* Man, never thought we meet the Browns fan so soon.
Art Rooney: But you have to admit, seeing him excited is quite humorous.
Marty took a breath calming himself as he walked over, all three making warm smiles. Marty's father wanted to say something, but his wife with a warm smile shoke her head. Understanding he stepped back.
Marty: Leroy Kelly, Paul Brown, Art Rooney, it's-it's a huge honor to meet you guys.
Leroy Kelly: We should be saying that to you, given how much you and the others have been a huge help to the Rusherz of the AFC.
Art Rooney: Not to mention what you found out about a certain Rusher.
Paul Brown: Speaking of that certain Rusher.
The three stepped to the side, allowing one more among them to walk forward...Marty and his family was left stunned seeing Art Modell walk forward.
Art Modell: *warm smile*...Hello Marty.
Marty: *stunned* Mr. Modell...*Realization* Y-You didn't know about Scavs..situation.
Art gave a sad nod, sorrow on his face.
Art Modell: Yeah, I had no idea Scavenger went through so much...or of the assault. No idea he was suffering from basically a form of depression...have I known he would of gone through all that..
He trailed off, Marty and the others shaking their heads.
Marty: Art, Modell, you had NO IDEA this would spiral out of control. We're just human, can't control the aftermaths. Besides, we're doing all we can to help him.
Mrs. Stevens nodded as she stepped forward.
Mrs. Stevens: And he's been doing very well in therapy.
Art Rooney: We've seen your work, very happy to have your help in this Mrs.
Marty: *smiles* My mom is the greatest. And I'm happy to help him and the rest of the Rusherz out.
Art and the others turned with small smiles on their faces.
Art Modell: And I thank you Marty and your family for helping Scavenger through this.
They smiled as Paul turned waving them over.
Paul Brown: Well on that note, we're gonna need your kids help getting Liberty up.
Harper: Hold on Liberty is in this place!?
Leroy Kelly: Yep. Shall we regroup with the others, sure you would like to hear some tales from us.
Marty: *excitement* YES PLEASE!
The four laughed in smiles, Marty's parents chuckling with Harper.
Art Rooney: I swear the Browns better find ways of getting you, any job on the team will do for you kid.

Ricky: Alright...this happened.
Ricky and his father were looking around cautiously.
Don Cervantes: I swear the amount of insanity we go through. I wish they added that detail in the Guardian deal.
Ricky: Agree with you there.
..A gently warm breeze was felt, almost as if a presences was there, surprising the two as they heard someone come over.
?: My My, we appear to have a Guardian in the area.
Ricky and Charles turned fast to see two man next to a beautiful women...Ricky eyes widen knowing full well who these two were.
Ricky: *awe* C-Charles, W-Walter, a-and Violet Bidwell Wolfner.
Violet Bidwell Wolfner: *sweet smile* It's nice to meet you Ricardo, Don.
Ricky: *awe*...I have no idea what they hey is going on but this is amazing!
Charles Bidwell: *chuckles* Figure you would be excited to see us. Wish it was under better circumstances but still nice to see you both.
Don Cervantes: Same here but...hold on is what happened with Liberty the reason why we're here?
Walter Wolfner: *nods* Indeed, Lib needs help waking up and unfortunately it's out of our hands.
Violet turned to Ricky with a sweet smile.
Violet Bidwell Wolfner: But NOT a Guardian's hands.
Ricky looked at his father, who nodded as Ricky turned and nodded in determination.
Ricky: Alright, lead the way you guys.
They smiled as they began to walk to their destination.
Ricky: *looks around;hesitant* So um...is it true that, well, Pat, he isn't..*trails off*.
Violet smiles soften, placing a hand on Ricky's head.
Violet Bidwell Wolfner: Rules of beliefs, however he is certainly not forgotten. You be surprise how power memories are.
Ricky smile grew a bit as the breeze returned, making his smile grow as he had a feeling he knew the answer.

William Ford Sr.: Oh boy, was not expecting seeing action here so quickly.
It was a sight to see the crystal stadium surrounded by all stars and fans from the past. The Guardians were in awe seeing them all around them, before reaching the entryway where they saw some very familiar faces.
Ish: AL!
Al Davis turned, smiling seeing Ish run over with Don Coryell.
Al Davis: Ish, good to see your doing well..even with all that happened these past months.
Ish: Yeah, will say all this is still alot to take in.
Maya Kraft: Know the feeling, we were in the same boat when we got here.
Al Davis: BUT, needless to say this is a first that folks who are still alive came here.
Ash: Yeah, we still need to think about how to explain this to the Rusherz...*looks up at the stadium* This is where Liberty is?
Troy: IT'S HUGE! I mean, I hope he's on this place's version of a field cause it would take a while to find him.
David Dixon: Don't worry it won't be. One of the fans saw him in the center before this stadium came up.
Sean Taylor: And if that wasn't worrisome, he wasn't moving at all..in fact he looked stuck.
Tua: Something must be keeping him here and preventing him from waking up.
Marty: Not to mention he was pretty banged up when we found him.
Chuck Huges: It's must be bad if not even we can get in. That's why we needed to call you kids.
Otto Graham: And just by those watches it looks like the answer to wake him is you.
All six looked at their NFLRs, surprised to see them still on in this plane but also seeing the blue glowing bright.
Ricky: -takes a breath- Alright, this will be helpful. *turns to everyone* Thanks everyone for the help.
Georgia Frontiere: *warm smile* Of course, we're more than happy to help any way we can dears.
Lance Alwroth: Just promise us you do what you kids do best...and protect the sport we love.
They smiled, Ash going over to her mother quickly and hugging her.
Ash: I love you mom, I promise I'll do my best.
Ash's Mother: I know you will, I am so proud of you.
With a kiss on the forehead Ash ran back to the others, Ish nodded as he turned to the entryway.
Sandra: Ish, everyone, good luck.
Lt. Matt: We'll be inside as soon as your break this seal.
Ish: Got it...*determined* ALRIGHT GUARDIAN! LET"S GET LIBERTY HOME!
All five: *determined* RIGHT!
With that, all six Guardians ran in...
...
?: Seems to me they might need one more push to wake him when they find him and solve the puzzle.
All turned, and the Guardians families were in shock while the others chuckled.
Don Coryell: Nice to see you here. Figure you been trying the most to break in given you two's friendships.
?: WELL, Liberty and I are very good friends.
Tim Mara: *chuckles* Well why not...YOUR THE REASON THE GIANTS EXIST CAUSE YOU WANTED YOUR NYC TEAM.
He smiled nodding with a chuckle.
?: And it worked right? Speaking of which, hope the Guardian's families don't mind if i join the run in to see Lib.
They slowly nodded still in shock.
?: Good, cause...I think our favorite Giant needs some love now more than ever.
To Be Continued...
