Blades, Sunny, and Bubbles spawned in the middle courtyard of Bastion, facing the Summersets. About 3 feet was between the two groups.[/i] [b]Blades[/b] [i](holding out his hand)[/i]: Good luck. [b]Erik[/b] [i](shaking Blades' hand)[/i]: You'll need it more than we will. [i]And with that they walked away, each team to opposite sides of the map. When they reached their spawns, the countdown timer appeared in the sky.[/i] [b][i]----------------------[/i][/b] [i]Back at the Tower, the school was watching the match in progress on a large monitor in the gymnasium.[/i] [b]Storm[/b][i] (to Solis)[/i]: Do you think they're ready? [b]Solis[/b]: Of course. With the tips I gave them? They know what to do... [b]Nightly[/b]: It'll be close, you know. [i]Solis looks back up at the screen.[/i] [b]Solis[/b]: I have faith. [i][b]-----------------------[/b][/i] [b]Vance[/b] [i](over the speaker)[/i]: Ladies and gentleman, we have alignment! Let the Final Round of the Tower High begin in 3... 2... 1....... GO! [i]Blades, Sunny, and Bubbles sprinted for the building to their right.[/i] [b]Blades[/b]: We all know what happened last time. They're Titans, so let's change it up. Solis told us they like to get close-up. We'll play on that and let them come to us. [b]Sunny[/b]: Got it And when Bubbles gets his Ward, we'll rush out? [b]Blades[/b]: Exactly. Even if they have their Hammers, we'll be ready. [i]The three guardians push into the courtyard, locking it down. Blades watches the upper doorway, Sunny watches the path to mid, and Bubbles watches the back. The orange flare of a grenade shines as a thermite grenade flies through the door by Blades, throwing a trail of fire along the ground from where it lands.[/i] [b]Blades[/b]: Grenade, watch out! [i]Sunny jumps and glides back as the burst of fire rushes towards him. When the flame passes, he runs back into position.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: Why only one? [i]Silence follows as the three guardians wait.[/i] [b]Blade[/b]: My arcblade is up. [b]Sunny[/b]: Same, I've got my res. [b]Bubbles[/b]: Roger roger. I have the aura. [b]Sunny[/b]: Bubbles, this isn't a raid! We told you that five ti– [i]Eventually, more grenades fly through the door, landing all over the area.[/i] [b]Blades[/b]: Get to cover! [i]They all converge on the center, now standing back to back. Lines of blazing thermite stretch across the courtyard, forming a triangular web of bright embers around them. The guardians are boxed in. The Titans push in from the doors and surround them, firing at the guardians.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: Blades, we've gotta get outta here! [b]Blades[/b]: I know! [i]Sunny throws a firebolt grenade. Flames snap out at the Titans and burn away their shields.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: Blades, go for it! [i]The hunter pulls out his knife and activates his arcblade, electricity coursing through his limbs. Blades charges after one of the Titans, who is running for the courtyard exit. It's Erik.[/i] [b]Blades[/b]: Get back here! [i]Erik dashes around the edge of the wall and out of sight. As soon as Blades turns the corner, though, a flaming Hammer flies around and hits him back in a burst of flames. Erik catches the hammer as he walks past Blades' ghost, moving in on the others.[/i] [b]Blades[/b] [i](now over the comms)[/i]: Guys, get out of there! [i]Bubbles ducks and runs inside the building by Blades' ghost. Sunny glides up to the second floor, but is knocked back down after the second Titan, Darion, activates his Hammer. The Warlock's ghost hovers above the ground.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: Think again, -blam!-! [i]Sunny revives himself in a flash of light, now standing between the two Sunbreakers in a blazing aura. As soon as he charges, though, the third Titan, Troy, activates his super and beats down the Sunsinger. After blasting him against the wall with a swing of his hammer, the death alert beeps throughout the arena.[/i] [b]Erik[/b]: Haha, two down! [b]Blades[/b]: Bubbles, come get me! [i]Bubbles starts for Blades' ghost, but stops when a hammer crashes against the wall next to him.[/i] [b]Erik[/b]: I don't think so! [i]The Defender runs back inside.[/i] [b]Erik[/b] [i](yelling from outside)[/i]: You can't wait in there forever, you know! [b]Bubbles[/b]: What I do?! They're all out there! [b]Erik[/b]: Come on out, big guy! This is only gonna end one way! [b]Sunny[/b]: You've gotta rush them! [b]Bubbles[/b]: I can't! [b]Erik[/b]: Come out now, and we'll make it quick and painless! [b]Sunny[/b]: Go around and get me up! [b]Bubbles[/b]: I CAN'T! [b][i]---------------[/i][/b] [i]The guardians at the Tower are on the edges of their seats, unnerved by the suspense of the match.[/i] [b]Nightly[/b]: This is bad. This is really, really bad. [b]Storm[/b]: The Titans must've used their hammers as soon as they could. [b]Flint[/b]: Yeah, and the grenade thing was out of nowhere! I can't believe they survived that. [i]Solis squeezes his fists, gazing at the monitor.[/i] [b]Solis[/b]: Come on... Please, Bubbles... [b][i]---------------------[/i][/b] [b]Blades[/b]: Bubbles....look at me. [i]Bubbles looks over at Blades, even though it's just his ghost.[/i] [b]Blades[/b]: ....Bubbles.... What would you do if I told you that the... "prize".... Was a box of crayons? [i]Bubbles' eyes stare at Blades.[/i] [b]Bubbles[/b]: ......crayons? [b]Blades[/b]: Yes. Crayons. More crayons than you could ever want. What if I told you that those Sunbreakers out there, STOLE OUR CRAYONS. [i]The crowds watching were silent. Solis and the guardians were perplexed by the Hunter's words.[/i] [b]Blades[/b]: That's right, Bubbles. They took our crayons. They took Solis', Nightly's, and Storm's crayons too. [i]Solis and the others looked down, the words echoing in their minds.[/i] [b]Blades[/b]: They took all of it....it just isn't right.... We can't let them just get away with that. [i]Nightly looks over at Solis. Was there water in his eyes?[/i] [i]Bubbles doesn't say a word.[/i] [b]Blades[/b]: Now we know you can do this, alright? We believe in you. [b]Bubbles[/b]: .......what kind of crayons? [b]Blades[/b]: ....ummm.....What kind do you like? [b]Bubbles[/b]: Green, obviously. [b]Blades[/b]: Bubbles? [b]Bubbles[/b]: Yes? [b]Blades[/b]: Those Sunbreakers out there are carrying about 1,000 pounds of green crayons. [i]Bubbles' eyes widen.[/i] [b]Bubbles[/b]: .......okay..... [b]Erik[/b]: Get out here so we can end this already. You know it's gonna happen! We beat your Sunbreaker, we beat your Stormcaller, and we beat your Nightstalker! Now, we just killed your perverted Bladedancer and your -blam!- Sunsinger! What the hell is a Defender gonna do against the three of us?! [i]Bubbles steps outside the building and looks the Sunbreaker in the eye. Erik winds up and throws his hammer at Bubbles, but just before the flames make contact, Bubbles throws down his Ward of Dawn in a blast of purple. Erik catches his hammer as it returns to his hand.[/i] [b]Erik[/b] [i](cackling)[/i]: What're you gonna do when it runs out? [i]Bubbles' eyes begin to glow through his helmet, burning in blazes of purple fire.[/i] [b]Erik[/b]: ....what the heck is tha– [i]The Defender runs through his shield and charges at them. They start laughing when he rushes forward.[/i] [b]Erik[/b]: -blam!-. [i]But their laughter cuts off when they notice that Bubbles is still inside his Ward, even though he's moving towards them. Upon taking a closer look, they soon realize that he's not out of his shield because he never left it. Bubbles' Ward of Dawn was moving with him.[/i] [b][i]------------------------[/i][/b] This is continued in Part 6! I had to split this in half, once again, since there wasn't enough room. Just posted Part 6 as well though, so it's all technically available. Enjoy!
