Part 7: Ending the Streak
Freefall took a shaky breath as he and Swoop were over Talon, who had an mask over him to keep him breathing. He was attached to a heart monitor as well, including a blood tube that assisted them to keep blood flow going, Freefall taking a peak at the status screen.

Freefall: Oh boy...lot of first these past few years.
Swoop: Was going to sadly happen eventually.
Both were gear up, and nervous, for the procedure. Freefall shoke his head nodding.
Freefall: Got him under and ready...you ready?
Swoop: As I can be for a first.
Freefall nodded as he grabbed the scalpel. Taking a breath he made the first incision on Talon's chest.
Freefall: It's incredible he managed to hide this from us for weeks, even hiding what happened to his home for decades.
Swoop: We're gonna need to ask him more on that later, right now he needs to recover from this-
Freefall: * finishes* Got it, let's see what we're dealing with.
With that he opened his chest...
Both: * shock* SHARDS.
..Talon's heart was glowing fearsly, beating rapidly as they could see a large aura/blood clot that almost closed the arteries of his heart.
Swoop: * shock*...WHOA. That's huge.
Freefall: * shock* That explains what kills them...* Shakes his head; determined* Time to end it's win streak.
With a swift motion and Swoop holding Talon (just in case), Freefall opened his heart and cut at the clot. Dispite the heart monitor going crazy Freefall kept cutting at it till finally...
...THE HORRID CLOT FELL TO THE HEART'S WALL. Freefall immediately took it out with some pliers before he quickly cleaned the area from re-infection and sewing Talon's heart back up. Both him and Swoop froze as they watched the Heart monitor.
Freefall thoughts: Come on come on...please, Talon.
..
After a intense few minutes, the monitor slowed to a steady pace. They could see his heart was beating normally, and the glow slowly fading around the heart.
Freefall and Swoop let out a held breath in relief.
Freefall: Oh Core, i-it works.
Swoop: Oh man, s-surgery stops the infection.
Freefall looked at Talon's face, seeing that it was a bit more at ease...but they were not down yet as he sighed.
Freefall: AND NOW FOR THE HARD PART. Part of me is glad i didn't cover the wound yet.
.
.
Hours had passed since Freefall and Swoop went back, evening soon falling.
Arthur Blank: A-Are you sure you all will be alright?
The Rusherz nodded, knowing full well the two Falcon members needed to rest.
Liberty: You two have been a huge help today, I know your families must be worried about you with all this.
Freedom: Not to mention you two haven't gotten proper rest since yesterday. We promise to keep you posted, but I know Talon would not want you guys getting sick.
Both sighed, but nodded in agreement. Tired smiles had formed on their faces.
Matt Ryan: Yeah, he would throttle us if we got sick. We'll let the league know what's going on though, you guys have been doing that all day so you need to rest too.
Stampede: Thanks you guys. Stay safe and rest well.
Arthur Blank and Matt Ryan: Same here.
With that the two left through the Falcon's portal.
..at that moment RZ came back online, seeing the Rusherz.
RZ: *confused* Rusherz, is all well? I just saw the Falcon's portal closing.
Lasso: - sighs- WOHOO BOY you missed a whole lot of trauma Richard.
RZ: * Concern* P-Pardon? What happened while I was out?
..Well, best let the AI know now.
Sonar: Well you just missed Talon scarring two of his teammates by ripping the veins of his arm apart which lead to the discovery that his hometown and parents all died from a aura/blood clot infection that he caught and we had NO IDEA EXISTED which lead to Troy who has no idea the severity of the situation with the others Guardians cause NO WAY THEY ARE READY TO HEAR THIS TRAUMA YET, Stampede, Freefall, Matt and Arthur to investigate and now Freefall and Swoop are currently doing a surgery on his heart and every single blood vein to remove all the clots and clear him of repeat infection so he won't die.
Silence...
RZ: * Horror* I'M SORRY WHAT?!
Liberty: Yeah it's been a day for all of us.
RZ: * Horror* Why did he not tell us ANY OF THIS?!
Stampede: Fear, main factor there. Wanted to move on and what we learned we-we don't blame him.
Liberty: Rest assure WE WILL BE FULLY TALKING about this once he recovers.
RZ: * stern* As will I! Can you tell me in full details what you have learn for right now.
They nodded.
.
.
.
TINK!
.
TINK!
Swoop: *tired* H-How much have we taken out?
TINK!
Freefall: *tired* I lost count after one hundred forty two.
The two for the past hours had scavenge Talon's veins for all the aura/blood clots. Each one they taken out was another in the deep tray next to them.
They had to add more blood tubes to him as they opened each vein to keep a blood flow going to his heart, the whole area was a mess.
Swoop: *tired* You see anymore?
Both looked around for more and after a while-
Freefall: *tired;relieved* I-I beleive we got them all out!
Swoop: *tired;hope* R-Really?
Freefall, using his head, nudged the screen over and looked at it.

Freefall and Swoop let out groans of relief.
Freefall: *tired;joyous* SHARDS WE DID IT! YES!
Swoop: *tired;joyous* DANG HE HAD SO MUCH.
Both were relieved that, despite the amount of time and looking, they had manage to clear Talon of the aura/blood clots..all be it from a very risky and intense surgery.
Freefall: *tired* -sigh- Alright, let's close this up and bandage these up.
.
.
RZ: -sighs- I see...so much in one day.
RZ had a look of sorrow on his face as the AI was caught up with all the new information that they had gotten.
Stampede: Yeah, even though Troy had no idea of the severity of the situation he was a huge help...*turns to Alto* You should be very proud of him.
Alto: I am...I just hope all the info we got is eno-
At that moment Swoop stumbled out, all seeing how tired and mentally drain the Eagle Rusher was.
Swoop: *tired;sees RZ* O-Oh, figure you would be back online this evening. I take it they told you?
RZ: Affirmative, they did. How long we're you-
Swoop: *tired* Probably hours given your back on line and Arthur and Matt are at home..thankfully, hopefully they get some rest.
Freedom: *worry;desperate* S-Swoop...HOW IS TALON? I-IS HE-?
Swoop looked up at his friends...
...A tired smile formed as he nodded.
Swoop: STABLE AND FREE OF THOSE THINGS...HE'S ALIVE.
