Deep gravitation
Part 10: Unwrapping the past
December 12, 2014; HOK...
Freefall, Liberty and Stampede were looking at the screen as Talon sat on the wheelchair.
...
TALON, FALCON RUSHER;
HEALTH-75%-PROCESS IS SLOW
ENERGY LEVELS-100%
EMOTIONAL STATUS-STABLE
INJURIES-HEALING
ILLNESSES-NONE
STATUS-STABLE
LOCATION-HOK
...
Freefall: *nods* Your energy is back to one hundred percent. Health is a slow process, but it is rising.
Talon: So, all is going well?
Liberty: Yep! Think it's good to start unwrapping Frees?
Freefall: *nods* Yep, Start with the arms then go on from there.
Talon gave a tiny smile as Freefall went over and began to unwrap.
Stampede: You must be happy to start having the wraps removed Tals.
Talon: Y-Yeah...um..
All stop as they looked at him in worry.
Freefall: *stopped mid-unwrap* Are you alright?
Talon nodded as he took a breath and-
Talon: I think it's time you guys know why I hide this from you and what happened in detailed. Not just from my journal.
All eyes widen as Talon leaned back a bit, Freefall having let go of the wrap that now hung loosely to the side.
Talon:..I had no idea what was going on back then, was still a little kid. It didn't help we couldn't look into this now known infection with the fact Sudden Death and Lord Zatu had ceased any research especially with the medical field with what they were doing. Even going to other locations was hard with all the attacks, we were just hanging by a thread as is and this new development was not helping...in fact, it was the end of everything.
Stampede: -sighs- Explains how the infection became a epidemic fast, maybe even worse than that.
Talon: *nods*...What i saw, what happened to my parents, all the suffering and blood being spilled by them and them alone without weapons and by aliment itself, and what Lord Zatu decided to do..*tears form* How could i explain this to you guys, not to mention i was worried about you all getting it even by just mentioning it.
Liberty: *gentle;understanding* I can see that, we all can, reading what you had seen and gone through it must of been traumatizing. You lost your parents and home from a infection, not from Sudden Death and/or Lord Zatu.
Freefall: *brushes Talon's hair* Even worse is that those two LIED about defeating them just to boost their ego and power. *begins to unwrap again* As much as we were scared and confused as to why you would not tell us this, we can also understand your reason.
Talon head drooped, tears falling from his eyes as Liberty and Stampede went over comforting him as Freefall unwrapped his arms...those arms showing the stitches and scars.
.
.
Troy: *pokes his head in* Hey Peck, ya in here?
Peck turned seeing Troy in the doorway of his him, smiling.
Peck: Hey there, everything okay?
Troy: *nods;walks in* Yeah, RZ wanted me to get you. Got a message from the team, and..*looks around;quiet* Wanted to check on that project.
Peck chuckled as he he went to the side, taking out a box.
Peck: Got done early, think Tals will love this Troy.
Troy smile grew as he walked over, Peck opening the lid.
Peck: Will say, your idea got me thinking of adding new threads for the rest. So, you like?
Troy: -whistles- Oh yeah, their perfect. Love the colorization too.
Peck: Well you wanted to make sure to add the red. Really glad it turned out so well. So, what now?
Troy: *nods* Now we wait till before the holiday, think that's the perfect time to give him these new threads.
Peck smile on his beak grew as he closed the box and setting it aside, as he and Troy left his room with smiles.
.
Talon wheeled around, having fabric arm sleeves on his arms to make sure the stitches didn't open up. His mind was wandering to the conversation from earlier. He couldn't help bit wonder if Balen, what he and the others consider the true ruler of Anticoria, knew of what truly happened to the Falcon Rusherz.
At that, he found himself in a work room seeing Soar working on the transmitter they got from the battle Liberty had with the commander months ago.
Talon: Hey Soar, how ya doing?
Soar: *looks over* Oh hi Talon! I'm doing good, see you got some of your wrapping off.
Talon: *smiles* Yeah, Freefall started unwrapping me but he wants me to wear these till the stitches fully heal. *wheels over;curious* You still working on that?
Soar: -sighs- Yeah me, Sonar and Sandra got it all fixed up. But we can't seem to find out how to connect it permanently to Balen and his team. Got it set to him and the rebels but we can't connect to them.*looks at the amulet* Ash said we could try to use the amulet he gave her, but i can't seem to find a way to use it without breaking it. Need some kind of energy to use it without destroying it.
Talon pondered in though about that; how to transfer energy without destroying an object...it clicked.
Talon's thoughts: Well, been a while since i used my ability..especially to it's full compacity..not to mention I don't need to worry about that infection.
Talon took a breath, calming his mind and-
Talon: Rise up!
Gently raising one of his hands which glowed, as the amulet rose as well. Soar got up in awe seeing Talon doing this one handed then the usual two hands.
Soar: *awe* Wow.
Talon: Alright, let's see if i could just...
Talon turned the gem part of the amulet to the machine, which the anti-gravity glow around it flowed into the machine. Soar grabbed the arms of the wheelchair in excitement.
Soar: Tals I have no idea what ya doing but whatever your doing it's working!
The transmitter sparked, as a screen appeared.
Anticoria...
Balen was looking over the materials he and the rebels had manage to snag, one of them recently being a transmitter..said transmitter turned on as a screen appeared.
?: Shar-It's wor-king!
Balen jumped as he turned fast, going to the transmitter.
Balen: That voice...SOAR? JET RUSHER?
The screen static cleared, revealing Soar and Talon.
Soar (on screen): *joy;cheering* YEAHAHAHA! We got contact!
HOK...
Balen (on screen): *awe* How is this possible?
Soar: Talon was a huge help *eyes Talon* Falcon Rusher here. We've been wanting to get in contact with you for months! It's so good to see you.
Balen was shocked, but he slowly smiled nodding.
Balen (on screen): It is good to see you as well.
Soar: *joy* Talon you talk to Balen, I'll get the others their going to be ecstatic!
Soar almost flew off in joy, Talon chuckling as he turned to the screen.
Talon: Yeah; Soar, Sonar, and Sandra, Ish's mom, have been working on this transmitter for months. We really wanted to keep in contact with you given we have the same situation.
Balen (on screen): Well, I'm very glad to hear you and cannot wait to see the others again..*worry* Pardon me for asking but, what happened to you?
Talon nodded taking a breath.
Talon: I-was actually wondering if you knew this truth as well given you found Zatu's war journal.
Balen (on screen):...What truth?
...
Soar: *joy* HEY EVERYONE! WE GOT CONTACT WITH THE REBELS!
The Guardians, RZ and Rusherz turned fast at this.
Ash: You manage to get contact with Balen and the rebels?
Soar: *joy* Yeah! Talon used his abilities and we got contact, come on I'll explain on the way!
With that everyone (RZ transferring to the location) ran off in excitement.
...
Balen (on screen): *sorrow* I see...that's what truly happened.
Talon nodded, now seeing that the prince and the rest of his people had no clue on what really happened.
Talon: As you can see the treatment worked, but I am IR till the stitches are fully healed...*worry* Are you going to be alright?
Balen sighed shakenly, sitting down on the rock.
Balen (on screen): I, will be. I am so sorry your family and your hometown had gone through such a horrifying situation. Even made worse that my uncle had the GALLS to lie and say he was the one who took them out and this infection finished the survivors.
Talon: It's not your fault Balen, you nor your ancestors had no idea on any of this.
Balen (on screen): I know, it still angers me that not only is he not afraid to take the life forces from others to prolong and immortalized his life. I heard what he attempted to do months ago to get to the Knights and the others...but now this.
Talon: More the reason we need to keep contact with you and your team. We both need to help eachother out with Zatu and his followers. We're all victims here.
..Balen gave a warm smile, nodding.
Balen (on screen): Yes. I agree. I was actually wishing for us to form an alliance with eachother to face these foes. I am looking forward to working, and learning, from you all.
Talon: *Warm smile* Same, welcome to the Rush Zone life Balen-
Soar: *slams door open;joy* SEE! LOOK!
At the the rest of the team came in, RZ appearing and all were in awe.
RZ: Incredible.
Ish: *joy* BALEN! GOOD TO SEE YOU!
Balen (on screen): *smiles* It is good to see you too Knights of the sky, Rusherz, RZ. I must say this development surprised me, we just got this transmitter from a raid today and I had no idea it was still functioning.
Troy: We've been tinking with this for a couple months, the Rusherz found it when..uh, well-
Balen soften his smile, stopping Troy and nodding.
Balen (on screen): I heard, we all heard on what my uncle's former commander tried to do. I am very happy to see you recovered Liberty, as to you as well Soar.
Both gave smiles nodding.
Liberty: Thanks Balen, we're happy to see you are doing well too.
Talon watched on the side with a small smile, his eyes feeling heavy as he closed them falling asleep.
...
Balen (on screen): -I see. So Sudden Death has been defeated again.
Marty: Yeah, but those three rouges are still on the loose after they split from him. Though, given the track record we had with them in recent months, they might had the idea to split from him in the works for a while.
Ash: It's been quiet after Talon spooked them; while we have no idea what he did, it freaked them and two members of the team he works with. *smiles* But it did gave us free time to do some upgrades, not to mention we finally got contact with you guys.
Balen (on screen): *smiles* I am happy to see you all, and now with the concept of having a way of communications with one another we will be able to assist one another. I do want to know more about your planet knights, as well as have clarification on your history Rusherz.
Liberty: We're more than happy to tell you and your followers everything, *turns to Talon* I have to thank yo-
All turned to see Talon had fallen asleep with a smile on his face, small quiet snores being heard. Balen had to chuckle at this as the rest smiled.
Balen (on screen): Okay, is it strange that is adorable?
Ricky: Join the club, this is the norm for us.
Freefall: Must be from the medication on his stitches.
Freedom went over grabbing the wheelchair.
Freedom: I'll take him to his room to rest up...Next order for this is making transportation for you kid.
Balen (on screen): A project for another time, i can see you all have been through alot recently. I hope Talon recovers to full health soon.
Freedom's smile grew as he took Talon to his room.
.
Talon: *sleepy* Freedom...
Freedom looked at Talon as they neared his room.
Freedom: Yeah Tals.
Talon: *sleepy*...Thank you...for being my first friend
Freedom smiled warmly, stopping and hugging the Falcon Rusher.
Freedom: Really happy to have meet you Talon.
Talon went back to sleep at this, both having smiles on their faces.
To Be Continued...
Pretty sure if (and hopefully one day) the series returns the Guardians and Rusherz would find a way to contact and keep in contact with Balen and the rebels. So have this here :)
