Deep gravitation
Part 12: Rising to the occasion.
January 3, 2015; HOK, Night...
Talon was shaking as he slowly walked down the halls, Freedom right next to him. The falcon Rusher was now off the wheel-chair, slowly rehabbing his legs from months of not moving due to stitches. Those stitches were now just sealed bumps on him.
Talon: -sighs- Man, grateful I'm off the wheel chair but it's going to be a while before i stop shaking.
Freedom: I know, but your doing so well in rehab. Freefall says your making fantastic progress too! You should be back to training before spring hits.
Freedom smile grew a bit at that as the two walked down the halls..
..then, an all to familiar alarm blared.
Freedom: *shock* No way...
Talon: Took them long to make a move.
.
.
Ish: So, they finally re-appear. Took them almost THE ENTIRE SECOND HALF OF THE SEASON to make a move.
The Guardians were around the main area, RZ look at them and a map showing Dallas.
RZ: I agree, it has taken them too long for them to make a move. What were they doing?
?: BURNING ARMOR AND MAKING NEW ONES.
All turned to see Talon and Freedom, the two looking at the map.
Talon: Heard them say that before I went unconscious back during my infection. Member Lord Zatu AND Sudden Death are silver tongued, they must of believe catching this from me could spell trouble.
Troy: *nods* That would explain their absence...*smirks* Will say despite the situation, you really gave us time to train Tals. Just don't go getting sick next time okay.
Talon blushed with a smile, nodding.
Ash: So, what are we dealing with?
RZ: Before Lasso and Beast went offline to battle they sent me the map of the perimeter. Please take a look on the map, there is a large dot of a swarm coming to AT&T Stadium.
All looked at the dot closely...then, realized something.
Troy: Hold on it's just one massive dot, not small ones.
Freedom: *worry* Oh no..don't tell me their bringing the big ones out now.
Guardians and RZ: Big ones?
Talon: Yeah, you all remember the Stadium Blitzbot, or that Flair Thrower Blitzbot? There are more of those large versions of both Blitzbot and Blitzborgs, a variety to be precise.
Marty: Hold on, what about that behemoth we face during the international games-?
Freedom: WE HAD NO IDEA THOSE STILL EXISTED. We though we had wiped them all out back on Cordalion. Those are ancient Blitzborgs and they are what destroyed most of our homes, those things have a body count...I-I will be honest, we were all terrified seeing that at Canton.
..That made the room run cold hearing that, the Rusherz were terrified of those things and for good reason. Talon sighed, shaking his head.
Talon: Tell them more details later. Right now we got a HUGE problem on our hands.
RZ: Right, I'm sending you all to Dallas. Try and meet up with Lasso and/or Beast.
Guardians: Right! ENTER THE-
Talon: WAIT!
All stopped, turning to Talon who shakenly straighten himself out...determination on his face.
Talon: I'm coming too.
Tua: A-Are you sure?
Talon: Yeah, i have a feeling your gonna need back up.
RZ: As much as I am happy you want to help, you just got back on your feet.
Freedom nodded before lifted Talon to his back, surprising him.
Freedom: I'll do the walking and running, Talon can do his thing then.
Ash: What do you think Ish? RZ?
Both Ish and RZ looked at eachother, nodding before turning back to the two.
Ish: Alright, but be careful. The minute things get dangerous you both bail.
Talon and Freedom: Got it!
RZ; Be careful everyone.
Guardians: Right! ENTER THE RUSH ZONE!
Dallas, Texas...
The Guardians and two Rusherz looked around the area the Blitzborg was spotted, Freedom being carried by Talon on his back.
Ish: *looking at map* Alright, it should be around here somewhere?
Everyone looked around when Troy looked up...he immediately turned Ish's head to the sky and he froze.
Troy: Found it.
Ish: What the-
All looked up before freezing in place seeing the large Blitzborg in the sky. The Blitzborg was round, floating in the air as large whips lashed around.
Talon: Oh...A Whiplash Blitzborg. Those things are a PAIN.
Ash: I take it the whips should be avoided.
Freedom: Yeah, other wise you'll be a pain for a bit. It's going to be hard to take down given that it's in that ball form.
Tua: So, what's the game plan?
Ish: Me, Marty and Troy will try and take it down. Ash, Tue, Ricky, go back to the stadium and protect everyone and the Megacores. Talon, Freedom, look around for Lasso and Beast.
Everyone Right!
The teams split up as Ish, Marty and Troy flew up blasting the Whiplash Blitzborg.
.
.
Talon: LASSO! BEAST!
Freedom: YA HERE YOU GUYS!?
Talon was carrying Freedom and running through the streets, seeing some people watching or even recording the sight of the Blitzborgs. They were alongside the Trinity River as they searched.
Freedom: -sighs- Course some are recording...see any signs of them?
Talon: N-no...but..
Talon kept looking at the water, a pit forming in his stomach.
Talon: Hey Freedom, do you mind putting me down for a sec. I wanna try something.
Freedom: *surprise* Sure?
Freedom stopped placing Talon down on his feet. He sighed as he took a breath before raising his shaking hands.
Talon: RISE UP!
Talon hand's glowed as he aimed at the water, Freedom holding his hands up in place...something was caught in his grasp as it glowed the same color.
Freedom: HEY YOU GOT SOMETHING!
Talon shakenly rose his hands with Freedom's help as something rose from the waters.
...
Lasso: -gasping for air!-
Talon and Freedom; *worry* LASSO!
Talon brought him over to land, stopping his powers as he and Freedom ran over to check on him. They could see a large slash mark across him as he shoke from the cold air.
Freedom: Lasso are you alright?!
Lasso: *raspy;panting* Y-Yeah..I-I'm fine. Thank you.
Talon: Of course but what happened?
Lasso: *raspy;panting* S-Saw the Borg...Went to call...HIT ME HARD.
Lasso was falling to the side, Freedom catching him.
Freedom: Easy there.
Talon: Glad we got you out. Do you know where Beast is?
Lasso shoke his head, a loud roar being heard as they turned to where the battle is.
.
Beast snarled as he circled the Blitzborg, the Lion having joined the battle for his search for Lasso; Ish sending fire blast at it while Marty dodge in and out of the building and attacks. Troy sped around looking for weak spots as the whip tried and failed to attack him.
Ish: DANG! This guy doesn't let up, it's always moving.
Beast: -snarls- I know, seems these guys got an update last we faced them.
Marty: *appeared* We'll we need to think of some to stop this guy in place!
Troy looked around for something to stop the Whiplash Blitzborg..then his eyes saw the three Rusherz, a plan forming in his brain.
Troy: Hey Ish! *Ish turns to him* I think I have an idea, and I'm really glad we invited them for back up!
Troy speed off down from the battle to the three fast.
Freedom: Troy?
Troy stopped as he grabbed the three fast as he speed back up to the battle with them. He set them down before grabbing Talon shoulders.
Troy: You think you can freeze him with your power?
All: *surprise* WHAT?!
Marty: *concern* Will that work?! And even if so will Talon be able to hold on.
Troy: *shrugs* All i can come up with what we're facing and the time limit but, *to Talon* you think you can try?
Talon looked at the Blitzborg looming over the city, hearing the panic screams and concerns.
Beast: *worry* Talon...will you be okay?
Talon closed his eyes..those eyes snapping open as he got up glowing.
Talon: *takes a beneath*...RISE! UP!
Talon shot his glowing hands up fast, stopping the Blitzborg in place as it shoke to regain control.
Talon: *shaking* DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I CAN HOLD IT SO FINISH IT FAST!
Troy: RIGHT!
Troy shot up and tackled the Borg hard, denting it severely as smoke came out. Marty went to and fro removing the whips, with Beast sending Super Roars and Ish sending fire blast at it. Talon began to sweat as the Blitzborg spatter and glitched trying to break free. Freedom got up and grabbed Talon's hands, helping him keep them up as the battle came to it's climax with his friends basically making the Whiplash Blitzborg looked like a crumple tinfoil sounds of broken metal was heard as it glitched on and off.
Marty: HAHA! YES! That should do it!
The Whiplash Blitzborg shoke in anger, not wanting the heroes to win as it tired to lean, Talon now at war keeping it from doing so and being at the end of his patients.
Talon: *sweating;annoyed* COME ON! JUST! STAY! *Slams hands down *DOWN!
...
The movement was quick, more so than the Guardians eyes could catch up. One minute they were fighting the Blitzborg..now; NOW IT WAS SMASHED TO THE GROUND TO SMALL BITS WITH A SMALL CRATER IN THE ROAD NOW.
Beast, Freedom, Lasso (with Troy's help), Troy, Ish, and Marty were looking down at the carnage, then at Talon.
Talon eyes were shrunken and shocked, in awe even as he was frozen in place.
Talon: *Shock/awe*...HUH?
Troy: *joy* WOHOO! WAY TO GO TALON!
The three Guardians and Rusherz cheered as Freedom hugged Talon, not minding the fact the Falcon Rusher was sweating bullets.
Freedom: Talon I had no idea you could do that to such a large Borg!
Talon: *Shock/awe* Me neither.
Talon was still starring in shock and awe at what he did, and that soon got noticed from the others.
Lasso: *Concern;raspy* Y-Y'all right Tals?
Talon: *Shock/awe*...Can I sit down for a moment?
Talon fell on his knees as the others went to him in concern.
Ish: *concern* Talon?
Talon: *Shock/awe*...SHARDS. I-I did that. I-I was always afraid to do something at that mass, only did that with humans and the others but-THIS I just-
Marty: Think Talon just blew his own mind.
Beast: We better head back to the stadium then, get him comfy and time to acclimate what happened. I want to get Lasso check with that wound, not to mention he was flung into the cold water and I don't want him catching a cold.
They nodded as Freedom picked Talon back up again, Beast with Lasso as they headed back to the stadium.
.
.
Later, AT&T Stadium...
Ash: So Talon SLAMMED that Blitzborg once you guys finished it?
The three nodded, Lasso fast asleep with his wounds covered and cleaned. Talon was slowly calming his heart as Freedom and Beast sat next to him.
Troy: Yeah! It was so cool! He even made a small crater in the ground! Wasn't deep and wasn't large it was just like a pothole, AND IT WAS FROM SOMETHING THAT LARGE IN SIZE! I think this is the first time Talon has done something like that since, ya know, he was cautious with his powers before.
Ricky: That explains why he came inside shock. *turns to the three* How are you doing Talon?
Talon slowly looked up, nodding.
Talon: Just...surprised, shock, awe? I had no idea I could do that. I mean yeah I practiced alot as a kid, even after that event just in-case but..I never knew my powers were that extreme.
Ish: It certainly helped us there especially at the end, who knows what it was going to do before it went down.
Beast: Yeah, and you got Lasso out of the river. I don't know if I would of made it in time so I'm really glad you two came.
Talon: *small smile* G-Glad I could help...*looks at his arms* Not glowing intensely as before, even with all the weight it's not glowing alot.
That got their attention fast at the realization that his arms were not glowing as much after that.
Tua: Your right, your not glowing as much. I wonder if before that was a sign of that infection, after all Troy said you coughed up blood when your old stadium Megacore vault collapsed and you caught it.
Freedom: Oh yeah! Your not glowing up too much!
Talon: Yeah...Gonna be honest happy I'm not glowing up like crazy anymore but..-sighs- This is still alot to take in.
Beast: *pats his back* Understandable-
At that moment all the NFLRs and NFLComm beeped fast, Troy deciding to pick up.
Troy: Hello-
Freefall's voice: TALON THE FALCON RUSHER WHY ARE YOU IN DALLAS?!
