Val looks at Russiosteel, who explains what happened in Russian. Val backs up, shaking his head and buries his face in his hands. The big Lightning defenseman hands OmniSwede, Arrow Av and hugs the Dallas Star closely.

"Let's just get out of here and get back to the headquarters..." Zvezda grimmly remarks.

"But Tyler's not--!" Jamie finally shouts out. "Here!"

"He can meet us back in Boston or we can figure out a plan to find him...and if need be save him there! Come on guys!" Zvezda continues. "John."

Portal smacks Iceshot on the back and gathers everyone together and teleports them from the bizarre warehouse building back into the center of H.A.T.T.Y. Vladdy is still clinging to UniBolt like a little kid hugging their parents arm. The unicorn looks at him and smiles sweetly, putting a hoof around his friend's neck.

"Thanks for saving me from Gally guys," Vladdy remarks.

Flameo walks forward, playing around with a ball of fire in his hands. Vladdy sees it and instantly screams, shoving away from UniBolt. He snatches one of Arrow Av's arrows from the quiver and holds it out toward the Calgary player, who stops and eyes him.

"Don't-Don't you--" Vladdy chokes, trying to swallow his fear.

"Johnny, put the fire away!" TJ growls.

"I wasn't gonna hurt him, geez..." Flameo says, distinguishing the fireball with his other hand.

"You and Gally have the same powers and Vladdy's frightened of fire right now because of his emotional scars from people with pyrokinesis. His father and best friend were killed by fire and he was tortured with it, please be sensitive to that," OmniSwede remarks.

Flameo nods and looks down at his feet. "Sorry Vladdy, I promise I won't hurt you. My fire is for good..."

Vladdy slowly lowers the arrow and staggers backward onto the couch. "I'm a terrible superhero! I can't even be brave against Gallagher! I mean, that's how he kidnapped me anyway. I was too weak to fight back against him, because I was scared, Val was taken and almost killed...and in the process, I let down my father."

The Triplets gather on one side, while OmniSwede, UniBolt and Russiosteel gather on the other; Russiosteel puts Arrow Av's limp body in one of the chairs.

Flameo remains standing in place, looking at the Bolts. Is that really what will become of me if I lose my arrogance? But there's got to be a way to control it. I don't want enemies...and conducting a rescue was sort of fun... The young Flame finds himself smiling at the Bolts. They're my family. I must protect them.

"You're not a terrible superhero, Vladdy," TJ remarks. "Far from it. So you have a Montreal-sized Kryptonite. Everyone does. It's what makes us all fight this battle. It's what makes us play hockey and be able to thrive as heroes."

UniBolt nods. "We're here for you Vladdy. We're a team...a family and if Gally's gonna pick on you, he's pick on the rest of us as well. Something he'll never get away with."

Vladdy looks up at the unicorn. "Yeah, except that you've still got a magical horn on your head." He chuckles.

UniBolt frowns. "At least I wasn't clinging to a unicorn a few seconds ago. Felt like I was being held by a little girl."

Vladdy punches his friend in the shoulder. "You take that back!" He laughs and soon gets into a playful battle with the unicorn, who lunges and tackles Vladdy, sending them both to the ground in a fit of giggles.

"Vladdy's a lot more childish, doesn't that worry you TJ?" Blesk states, gesturing to the two young players on the ground.

TJ sighs. "We'll worry about Vladdy's lack of arrogance later on, but let's let him be a kid and get it out and be happy. But, yes, it does worry me."

Meanwhile,

In Denver, Colorado, Brooke sits in the living room of her and Nikita Zadorov's recently bought gorgeous brick two-story mountain home. She is watching the Disney movie, Pocahontas, which is at the part where Pocahontas is bidding farewell to the injured John Smith (basically the last five minutes of the movie).

She suddenly looks rapidly and expectantly at the door. She knows that Zady is loyal to his friends and the Hockey Avengers, but she loves spending time with him too. And she always loves when he would come back and hug her and hold her. She is looking forward to that moment.

Suddenly a knock at her door sounds and she jumps to her feet, not bothering to pause the movie, which is ending anyway. She races over and throws the door open, smiling with happiness.

"Zady!! I'm so..." she trails off as she sees Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog standing before her. She tries to get on her tiptoes to look past them as she questions, "Where's Zady?"

The credits roll in the background, playing the song, "If I Never Knew You" as she realizes the somber faces of the two Colorado players.

"We need to talk, Brooke," Gabriel states. 

"Where's Zady?" she repeats, her voice choking in the process. "Where's the love of my life? My husband..."

Gabriel lowers his head. "I'm so sorry to tell you this, but...Zady is...dead."

Brooke steps back as the chorus to the song hits. Tears instantly flood her eyes and her heart skips a beat. She backs into a pillar. Had they just said that? Is Zady dead? Is my Nikita Zadorov really dead?

"I'm so sorry, Brooke. Evelyn told us to inform you. He died trying to shoot Brendan Gallagher down and save the Tampa Bay Lightning," Gabriel says, sorrowfully. "He died notably. And the Flame, Johnny Gaudreau, told us that Gallagher stopped the arrow and lit it on fire and sent it right back at him."

Brooke leans against the pillar to a walkway that leads down into the living room. She shakes her head, unable to speak at first.

"We'll let you, um, take it easy," Nathan says, shuffling his hoofed feet. "But we are really sorry..." He looks at Gabriel, who is hanging his head.

Brooke suddenly spins around and runs up a staircase to the side of the living room as the song ends. She bursts into her room, slamming the door shut and locking it behind her. How could Zady be gone? They had just gotten married and settled in and now he is gone!? She sits on the end of the king-sized bed and buries her head in her hands, sobbing and unleashing all of her emotions.

As she sobs, a figure appears to the side of the door. He glides up to her, whispering, "There, there, child."

Brooke pauses in her sobbing and looks up at the sound of the familiar voice. "Tyler?! You're the last person I want to see right now!"

Fake Tyler stands before her and laughs. "Oh, you'd rather see someone else, Brooke? Perhaps, Gallagher?" He morphs into Brendan Gallagher and smirks at her. "You wanna get revenge for Zady's death?"

Brooke is startled and she jumps to her feet. "No! What--who are you?"

Fake Gallagher returns to Fake Tyler Seguin. "You don't know me?" He smirks at her with a more twisted grin.

"Obviously not Tyler Seguin! He's a spy, not a shapeshift! So..Guzzler? Or better known as Ryan Kesler?!" Brooke spits, stepping back.

"Yeah, that's it! Except I'm exactly him either...I'm nobody you know, but who you should know. It's a pity that the mortal population is so easy to manipulate..." Fake Tyler becomes Kesler now and backs Brooke up against the wall beside a sliding glass door that leads out to a railing-less balcony. "So easy to control."

Brooke gasps. "Wait?! You-you controlled Zady to shoot the arrow at Gallagher, knowing full well what would happen, didn't you? I'm sure of it! You're the real enemy here! You killed him?"

"Exactly!" Kesler sneers and seizes Brooke's wrist, throwing open the door and shoving her out.

Brooke backs against the balcony, gazing in horror at Ryan Kesler, who steps out toward her. She glances down at the barely snow-covered ground below. A crisp, chilling breeze blows at her as Kesler stalks forward. "Why? Why did you kill him?"

"Because he, Val, Vladdy, Tyler and one other Hockey Avenger are apart of my doom!" Kesler snarls. "And also, two mortals...Vladimir Tarasenko and you!"

"Me? But who's the other Hockey Avenger?" Brooke demands.

"The Lightning Bolt from the Czech Republic!" Kesler growls and takes a threatening step toward her.

Brooke leans back out of fear and ends up losing her balance. She screams out and falls over the edge, plummeting down to the ground. There is a sickening thud as she hits the cold, hard barely-snowy ground below.

"Oops...three down..." Kesler snickers as he looks over the edge, seeing her mangled dead body and then he throws his head back, cackling and vanishes into the air, shouting out, "No one can stop me!"
