Rushing Wings

Part 3: Strength in battle

Afternoon...

Winter smiled at the results, satisfied with what he was given.

Winter: I must thank our research team when I get back. *Smirks* Heh, bet Diamond didn't think of the Wings outside the family could do research on Animus. *looks up* Now then, our turn. Let's see how these guys fare against us.

With that, he enter the room where his friends were, ready to see this Guardian and Rusherz.

.

.

Ricky, Cyclops and Peck were walking down the hallway to their next destination.

Ricky: *concern* You guys going to be okay, they asked some pretty personal questions there.

Peck: *small smile* We were mentally prepared, it's still stings but we're okay.

Cyclops: *small smile* I'm just glad we got the first groups okay. Only two left so let's keep at it.

Ricky smiled as they reached the door, opening it.

...

The three soon found themselves in a large room, one that looked like a combat room. There were five dragons waiting for them.

Moonwatcher: *nodding* Guardian and Rusherz, well done on your first test.

Ricky: Thank you. I assume you all are Moonwachter, Winter, Peril, Turtle and Qibli.

Peril: *nods* We are, are you three ready for the next test?

All three nodded, making the dragons stand with their wings flared out.

Winter: Good, NOW THEN. YOUR TEST IS STRENGTH SO YOU SHALL BE FIGHTING US.

All three: *double take* Pardon what?

Ricky: All three of us?

Turtle: Yes, granted there are only five so one of you will be facing only one of us.

Cyclops: But why? Forgive me for sound forward but I know you don't have alot of human allies given the past.

Peck: We assume you would want to test Ricky the most for this task, so why us as well.

Qlibli: Even if it's true, how do we know you two are not a threat given what YOUR CAPABLE OF. If the human here can be trusted, what about you.

Moonwatcher: I do see us combining near the end, so it will not be solo forever. Now then, who shall go first to start?

Both paled nodding, worried on how that will end as Ricky step forward in determination.

Ricky: *determination* I'll go first...*raises NFLR* ENTER THE RUSH ZONE!

In a flash the dragons were left in awe as the human went into his Guardian armor.

Peril: OKAY, so...this was not mentioned in the last test.

Ricky: Never mentioned, but this is how me and my friends go into armor for battle.

..Peril smirked as she lept forward as her wings flapped.

Peril: OH I WANT TO GO FIRST. SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT GUARDIAN!

Peril scales burned as she slammed her claw hand to the ground as Ricky dodged, a smirk behind his mask as he ran up her arm sending a blast.

Ricky: Oh your a fiery one aren't ya. Alright then, ICE BLAST POWER PASS!

He sent a blast of ice, shocking Peril as it hit her and doused most of her firescales...she soon smirked again.

Peril: Well this is a perfect match here, go all in on me Guardian! I wanna see what'cha got!

..

Moonwatcher: *smiles* -sighs- Why am I not surprise Peril would jump in seeing something like this.

Peck: She must be your Troy then, Troy has a knack of jumping into the fray when he wants to help out.

Turtle: Good to know you have on too...*nods* So, shall we begin?

Both Rusherz nodded as Winter sent his tail down, only for Cyclops' shield to block it. Peck took off in the air, shaking a bit.

Peck: Okay, praying my feathers come back when we get home cause I am freezing! *flies up* CRUSH CALL!

Peck sent his signature move down onto Winter and Moonwatcher, both shielding themselves with their wings. Both roared with a smile as they took off into the air, launching themselves at Peck and managing to send him to the wall. Peck smirked as he flew back in the air as headbutted them.

Cyclops lept up and sent a Power Punch to the ground, sending Qibli and Turtle up. Both dragons landed on their feet. Turtle, though hesitant at first, charged forward ready to headbutt the Titian. Cyclops eyes widen and he quickly raised his shield blocking the attack but also sending him back a bit.

Ricky meanwhile was jumping back and forth from Peril, who took off into the air and sent her fiery scales at the Guardian.

Ricky: Aerial battle, alright then. FLIGHT APP ENGAGE!

Ricky flight app flared to life as he flew into the air, surprising but exciting Peril as she dodged another Ice blast.

Peril: *excited* AHHA! You can fly as well! Oh this is fun, *tries to headbutt Ricky* I never thought a human can be so competitive!

Ricky's and Peril's hands met as they wrested eachother to see who can pin the other, despite the size difference between the two.

Ricky: *smirking* Well we have ALOT *Sends a blast* of competitive sports so it comes with the game!

Both let go as they sent their powers to the other, enjoying the fight.

..

Female Dragonet: *watching * THIS IS SO COOL! LOOK AT THEM GO!

Male Dragonet: *watching* I know! THAT HUMAN CAN FLY AND LOOK AT THOSE TWO!

A young group of Dragonets heard the commotion from the area they were playing in, so they went to where the test was being held and were left in awe at what they discovered.

Cyclops was deflecting blasts and abilities from Turtle and Qibli, with Peck flying back and forth between Winter and Moonwatcher as the two dragons dodge their attacks from eachother while trying to hit Peck. Rickey was busy sending Ice Blast at Peril, who was shielding herself and sending her fiery powers towards the Guardians.

Female Dragonet (2): Where did they come from and why are they here?

Male Dragonet (2): I heard rumors they are from another universe where scavengers read our tales!

They "oo'ed" in awe hearing this was they watched the battle continue on.

..

Cyclops, Peck and Ricky landed next to eachother panting as the dragons flew around them.

Peck: Oh boy, they are strong.

Ricky: So joke, we're going to have to get creative. Cyclops, Peck, shall we show them some team work?

Both smiled as Cyclops lifted his shield over his head, Ricky and Peck jumping on. With a grunt Cyclops sent them to the air as Ricky grabbed Peck.

Ricky: HERE'S SOME NOSTALGIA EVERYONE!

Peck: Alright! CHILL OF THE CORE!

Ricky sent Peck down to the dragons, Peril firescales covering her body as the area was covered in a blast of hot and cold.

...

The five dragons of the Dragonet Prophecy slammed the door open after hearing the explosion from their area.

Clay: *worried* IS EVERYONE OKAY!?

The small group of Dragonets nodded as the appeared from their spot, hiding from the blast. The area cleared as both sides panted, Ricky out of Guardian armor and all sweating...soon, the dragons chuckled tiredly nodding.

Turtle: *tired* O-Okay...gotta admit, that-that was fun.

Winter: *tired* No-No joke, that was intense and I love it.

Ricky: *tired* H-Hehe, yeah, norm for us. That was really fun.

Cyclops: *tired* Yeah...Can we all sit down now.

Everyone: *tired* YES.

All sat down (some even laying down) sighing, now tired from the battle they had.

Starflight: *smirks* Something tells me the test went very well.

Qibli: *tired* Yes but details not now Stary we're tired and hungry.

Peck: *tired* Yes let us just be rocks right now thank you.

The five chuckled nodding in agreement.

Moonwatcher: *tired* You three have passed indeed, very good strategy there at the end by the way.

Ricky: *tired* Thanks, you guys using your strengths against us in differnt ways was cool too. I can already imagine seeing the fear in those Borgs eyes if they every cross your paths.

The five smiled as they cacthed their breaths.

Moonwatcher thoughts: These three can be trusted... Though, the next one is going to be heavy. Young Guardian Ricky and Rusherz Peck and Cyclops, be mentally prepared for this final test.
