In the Air Canada Center in Toronto,

Yanni Gourde, Otto Somppi and Taylor Raddysh stand looking at Brendan Gallagher as they watch the cage plummet down into the bubbling cheese with a massive splash. They all gasp, while the villain cackles.

"I'm sorry that this is all rather cheesy, but the Tampa Bay Lightning are finally mine!!" Gallagher cackles and produces fire and then takes aim at the trio.

Yanni looks at Taylor and Otto quickly and says, "I'll go save Vladdy, you both distract Gally! We'll get him out of here alive!" He then turns away as Otto and Taylor nod to one another and Otto uses his ice powers to shield him and Taylor from the fire. "I'll save you, Vladdy, like you did for me on the ice. I owe you one!"

With that, the leader of the Baby Bolts darts forward and leaps into the air, utilizing his flight powers and then dives into the cheese.

Meanwhile,

Inside of TD Garden in Boston, Brett Howden, Jonne Tammela, Ryan Lohin and Libor Hajek stand looking at Andrew Shaw and Alexei Emelin. The fire suddenly dissolves and the rope finally snaps, sending the Triplets zooming downward.

"I got 'em!" Brett and Jonne exclaim in unison, darting forward. They then jump into the air and snatch the trio into their arms like catching a falling child, before they can hit the spikes and land on the other side, safely.

They skid across the ice into the boards, knocking out Tyler Johnson. (Ondrej Palat is already out cold from having the tape over his mouth and being unable to breathe properly in a STRESSFUL situation like being tied up above sharp spikes!!) Nikita Kucherov whimpers and closes his eyes, muttering, "Need cookie, get through scary."

Brett and Jonne instantly untie the trio and Brett gets the tape off of Ondrej's mouth and then they set the two unconscious Triplets up against the boards. Nikita sees his two friends and he instantly breaks down into tears.

"Pally!! TJ!!" Nikita cries out.

"Tammy, I'll take care of things here, go help out Ryan and Libor!" Brett snaps, wrapping his arms about the crying, miserable Nikita.

"No, Brett, I want to...I want to work with you. I'm done arguing now, you and I make quite the powerful team, even if your hair - looks amazing!" Jonne remarks.

Brett gasps and looks at his friend as he hugs Nikita close to him, trying to comfort the littlest Triplet. "Tammy...I'd love to!"

"Great, get off the baby Lightning player and let's do this thing!" Jonne exclaims.

"Kuch, is that alright, can you handle things here?" Brett asks, soothingly.

Nikita shakes his head as all of the sudden Emelin skids over, growling. He headbutts Brett, sending him to side, releasing Nikita. Brett hits the boards and shakes his head to clear it. The Russian Triplet screams for his friends as he is snatched by the big burly defenseman for the Habs.

Brett recovers and throws his hands to the sides, producing blue pyrokinesis from his palms. Jonne is already sparking and chasing after Emelin, who is darting for one of the tunnels with Nikita, kicking and screaming, over his shoulder. Brett gives into the chase, catching up with Jonne and they both nod and then work together, combining their powers to seal off the exit, causing Emelin to skid to a halt.

Nikita knees Emelin in the chest and slips free, running right into Andrew, Ryan and Libor's path.

"Kuch!!" TJ's voice shouts out.

TJ is standing, having recovered from the hit to the head. He darts forward and dives into the middle, as Andrew hurls a spike right at Nikita.

Ryan spots it and uses his Umbrakinesis to teleport right in front of TJ and Nikita, taking the spike right in the chest. He gasps and then falls limply to the ice, groaning in agony, before falling silent and bleeding out.

Yanni finds the cage in the cheese and pulls it, as best as he can, with all of his strength and manages to get it above the surface, where he unlocks it. He is thankful to find that the cage is similar to a dog's in that the lock is able to be lifted up and pulled to the side. He then reaches in and drags Vladdy out, not realizing the lead ball attached to him.

As soon as he get Vladdy out, he notices them sinking back into the cheese, and even worse, the cheese is suddenly very hot. Yanni screams in pain and then feels a sudden chill. He looks back to see Otto blast the cheese with ice.

"Why, you annoying little Finnish boy!" Gallagher snarls, blasting Otto with his pyrokinesis and sending Otto falling backward to the ice. "Don't get in my way!"

Yanni gasps, struggling to keep the barely conscious Vladdy afloat in the cheese. "OTTO!!"

Just then, the cheese stops bubbling and begins to lower in the can, pulling Yanni and Vladdy down to the bottom. They find the cheese gone Yanni instantly works to get the ropes off of Vladdy and the tape.

Vladdy gasps for air and then looks at Yanni with a smile. "Thanks. You all were just in time!"

Gallagher blasts fire down at them. "You cannot win and escape me, Vladislav! I will end you!!"

Vladdy's ankles are still clamps together by the chain, but Yanni channels a lightning bolt with his Atmokinesis powers to strike the clamp and release Vladdy. Vladdy instantly gets to his feet, staggering a little and is hit by Gallagher's fire.

"Gally, stop this madness!" Vladdy shrieks out. "The only one who will get seriously hurt in the end is you! Just give it up!"

Gallagher channels a great deal of energy into a fireball now, preparing to hurl it at them, but a giant chunk of ice flies out and hits it, causing it to explode in Gallagher's face and send him spinning in the air out of the way.

At once, Otto reappears sliding down on a stream of ice and grabs them both and then gets them out of the can, setting them on the ground. Yanni notices that the controls for the cheese can are iced and he puts together what happened.

They both then gasp, seeing two Otto's standing before them. Both have their hands steaming from the cold ice. One of the Ottos morphs into Taylor, who winks at them. They then turn back to face the infuriated Hab.

Vladdy staggers in place, weak from his experience and Yanni grabs him and then puts Vladdy's arm over his shoulder.

"Yzerchuk! I've gotta get Yzerchuk!" Vladdy gasps.

Yanni helps him over to the bench and Vladdy musters what little strength he has left to get the dome off, but he is sent flying backward, onto the ice, where he groans in pain and then falls limp.

Yanni gets up and screams out, "VLADDY!! NO!" He rushes over to him. "Get up, Vladdy, come on!"

Vladdy shudders once and then goes still. I've failed you Wayne Gretzky...I failed.

"Vladdy!!!!" Yanni screams, shaking the Lightning player.

Gallagher blasts Otto and Taylor with a fireball, sending them flying into the bench and into the dome, concealing Yzerchuk, which has gone from a crystal Lightning blue color to a milky white. The two hit the dome, causing it to fly off and shatter, leaving the white bolt exposed. Yanni looks at the horrible scene, holding Vladdy in his arms.

What do I do now? Someone help us! Someone! Anyone, help!

TJ hugs Nikita close to him, looking at the fallen Ryan Lohin. "Where are you, Vladdy?! We need your healing abilities!"

Andrew shrugs and uses his telekinesis to grab another spike and hurl it at TJ and Nikita. Libor dives and sends them all skidding safely to the side. Brett and Jonne blast Emelin with lightning and blue fire, obliterating the defenseman after a few minutes. They share a high-five with one another and spin around to see Libor protecting TJ and Nikita, Ondrej is still unconscious and Ryan is bleeding out on the ice, impaled by a spike.

Brett and Jonne share a look and then a nod with one another.

"Let's hit him with some nice Brett and Tammy teamwork!" Brett remarks.

"You betcha! There's no pest who will be in the NHL like Jonne Tammela!"

"And there will be no NHL player with nicer hair than Brett Howden!"

"Down with Montreal and Andrew Shaw!" Brett and Jonne shout out and then throw their arms out, blasting Andrew with blue fire and electrokinesis, before the villain can do anything else to TJ, Libor or Nikita.

Andrew screams in agony and then bursts into flames before turning to ash and falling to the ice. TJ blinks, looking at Brett and Jonne, who look shocked. They have just beaten both Emelin and Andrew.

"Two down, two to go," Libor growls. "Unless Yanni's handled Gally."

"No one can," TJ grumbles. "It's impossible to get through to him, let alone stop him."

"We've got to try," Brett exclaims. "For Ryan."

Libor nods.

Everyone looks grimly back to where Ryan's dead body is.

"Pally?" Nikita pipes up, pointing to the boards where Ondrej is still slumped in place against the boards.

"He hasn't woken up! That's not good!" TJ remarks and scampers across the ice with Nikita to Ondrej.

Libor, Brett and Jonne follow them as TJ checks for Ondrej's pulse.

"He needs Vladdy badly!" TJ reports. "I think he'll be strong and make it, but we need to get him to Vladdy immediately! Please tell me you all know where Vladdy is?"

The trio of Baby Bolts nod.

"Let's go then. Come on Nikita, help me out here," TJ says and attempts to lift Ondrej up.

The two manage to get him up to his feet and start forward, only to stagger in place. Libor walks over and grabs the Czech player and throws him over his shoulder with ease, much to the shock of Nikita and TJ.

Then they all race out of the arena, skidding into Downtown Boston.

"Vladdy, please..." Yanni chokes out. "Please, we need you!"

Gallagher stands before Yanni and Vladdy, looking down at them, snickering. "I told you a million times you're an awful leader Yanni and you were just too late to the party. I'll add Vladdy to my list of names. And that's all I really need."

Yanni whirls around to Gallagher and blasts him with a ton of snow as he unleashes all of his anger and fury. The Hab is surprised and is sent slamming into the boards. Yanni gently shoves Vladdy back to the ice and gets to his feet, fulling facing Gallagher. "Now I get why Tampa hates you, why nobody wants to play against you."

Gallagher tries to get out of the snow, which builds and keeps him pinned in place.

"You're jealous of success. Montreal's in a dark time. In the lowest of low in the standings. Your head coach is a pain, your GM is trading for people who will only strengthen the darkness inside of you. And you're learning how to cheat. Of course you're gonna be something worse than a jerk!"

Gallagher lifts his head up proudly, trying to keep his cool and evil image. Yanni cuts off his powers, leaving only the Hab's head exposed.

"Otto, Taylor, now!" Yanni snaps.

Otto and Taylor both grab the pale bolt and rush over to Vladdy, who suddenly snaps awake, his eyes glowing a brilliant blue color. He gets to his feet and snatches Yzerchuk from the two Baby Bolts.

"Gally, it's over. You've lost again. I was in my healing process, talking to Wayne Gretzky, who is furious with you. You should know by now that I cannot be killed," Vladdy remarks. "This needs to stop now! And the only way to end this fight is to end you!" He spins Yzerchuk in his hand and it instantly plunges back into a healthy blue color.

Yanni steps back.

"Go ahead and try...after all your little friend set you up nicely. Just go ahead and end it all," Gallagher sneers.

Just then, Brett, Jonne, Libor with Ondrej, Nikita and TJ burst into the arena.

"Vladdy, no!" TJ shouts out. "Don't!!"

Vladdy blasts the snow holding Gallagher in place, allowing him to break free. "I'm not you Gally. I'm not a killer!"

Gallagher laughs. "You're a fool then!" He ignites himself on fire, facing Vladdy, who glows blue like Yzerchuk and narrows his eyes.

"You cannot win Gally. I will not kill you, but you shall be punished by the hockey gods!" Vladdy states as everyone else gathers behind him. "You cannot be allowed to roam about and continue to harm Tampa!" Yzerchuk, full healthy once more, slowly begins to morph back into Vladdy's Nexus One hockey stick as he talks.

"What are you going to do then?" Gallagher inquires.

Vladdy slams the end of his hockey stick on the ice and proclaims. "Nothing." (I wanted to have him say, "Nothing. I'm just going to pray for you.")

Everyone shares a look, confused.

"It is Wayne's and my hope that one day you'll see through your selfish actions and realize that you are only hurting yourself and your own team. The consequences for your actions continue to reflect on the very destruction of the Montreal Canadiens' success during the season. And until you learn, Montreal will continue to spiral downhill."

Gallagher shakes his head. "You're just full of crap! I don't care about Montreal...my only goal is to finally kill you, Vladislav Namestnikov!" He darts forward and leaps at Vladdy, still burning with fire.

"In Yzerchuk we trust!" Vladdy shouts out, punching the air with the stick.

It morphs into the sparking blue lightning bolt at once and Vladdy jams it into Gallagher as he comes down toward him. The impact causes the Hab to explode and shatters Yzerchuk into pieces, sending Vladdy skidding backward on the ice.

Vladdy stops glowing and crashes to the ice from the impact.

"Vladdy!! No!!" TJ screams out with Yanni.

They race up to Vladdy, who is weakly lying on the ice. The young blond man is in tears and bruises cover his face. TJ drops down and grabs Vladdy, hugging him. "Yzerchuk...I tried...I tried Wayne's idea, but Gally was just too far out of control."

TJ pats his teammate. "It's okay. You did what you could."

Suddenly a voice booms out to them, "Vladislav Namestnikov, do not mourn over Yzerchuk. The magical lightning bolt's purpose has been fulfilled. With Gallagher gone, the main threat of Montreal is over. Tampa is finally safe and that is why Yzerchuk is no more. Should another Hab rise up or any other threats, we will create another. Now, the powers I gave the Baby Bolts are no longer needed, so they shall find that they can not access those anymore. As for the healing and the powers I have granted you, Vladdy, use them on Ondrej Palat right now. TJ, you too."

"I thought I needed Yzerchuk to?" Vladdy sniffles, reaching down and taking one of the shattered blue pieces of Yzerchuk from the ice.

"No, all you need is me," the voice replies. "The power of Wayne Gretzky, Ruler of the Hockey Gods."

TJ helps Vladdy up and they both make it over to where Libor is still holding Ondrej. Vladdy sniffles, still saddened by the loss of his hockey stick and he reaches out and touches Ondrej's forehead, while TJ puts his hand on the Czech's arm. The bruises on Vladdy's face vanish with the healing powers.

Instantly they both glow blue and then Ondrej glows blue. For a few seconds they remain, before the glow vanishes from all three of them. As soon as it fades away, Ondrej blinks awake.

Libor sets him down and he is immediately attacked by a happy Nikita, who squeezes him tightly.

"Pally, okay!" Nikita exclaims.

Ondrej pats him on the head. "Yes, Kuch. It was tough not to go toward the light, but that Wayne Gretzky, he's magical!"

Vladdy smiles and hugs Ondrej as does TJ.

Yanni looks down at the shattered remains of Yzerchuk and Gallagher. "So, I guess Yzerchuk's era in Tampa is complete?"

Vladdy breaks away and walks over to him. "Yes. I'll miss him, but it's good to know that all is back to normal with no threats."

Yanni nods. "Except maybe having to deal with these two." He nods to Brett and Jonne, who are back at the bickering. "Brett and Tammy."

Vladdy looks at them. "Yanni, you'll be a fabulous captain for Syracuse."

Yanni nods and then looks around, before his smile vanishes. "Wait, where's Ryan?"

Vladdy blinks as TJ comes over to them, allowing Nikita and Ondrej to have their adorable babysitter-child moment.

"Ryan sacrificed himself to save Kuch and I from Andrew Shaw," TJ says sorrowfully.

Yanni smiles. "Thank you Ryan Lohin, we'll never forget you!"

"Can we get out of here now? I'm sick of seeing Tammy's face!" Brett whines.

"I'm sick of seeing your hair!" Jonne retorts.

Vladdy, Yanni and TJ share a look and then everyone laughs and they all vanish into the air and reappear back in the middle of Amalie Arena, where the others are still gathered there. Jonathan Drouin is no longer an Umbreon, but he is still limping around. Steven comes up to them.

"You did it!!" Steven exclaims, clapping his hands together.

Vladdy holds his hand out with the piece of Yzerchuk to show his captain. "We are safe, Stammer. Yzerchuk is no more."

Steven looks at it in shock and then at Vladdy, who he can tell is struggling to hold himself together. The captain of the Lightning smiles and throws his arms around Vladdy, hugging him. "You're a true hero, Vladdy. Yzerchuk will never be forgotten."

Vladdy nods, nuzzling his head into the older man's shoulder. "I know. I'll just miss him a ton. But Gallagher is finally destroyed and Tampa is safe."

"It only took the deaths of Nikita Nesterov, Jason Garrison, Cedric Paquette, Ryan Lohin and Yzerchuk," Taylor says.

"So, should we celebrate?" Steven questions.

"Cookies?" Nikita excitedly asks, still hugging Ondrej.

"Of course Kuch! Just don't go overboard! And some mini donuts for JT and cheese for Vladdy! Will a nice plate of cheese make you feel better?" Steven questions.

Vladdy wipes his eyes and nods. "Like cheese."

"Your captain Stammer knows you too well. You deserve lots of cheese, Vladdy!" Steven exclaims. "Now, let's go celebrate!" He then looks at Yanni, Brett, Jonne, Libor, Taylor and Otto. "You six are included as well. None of this could have happened without all of your help! Because of you, Gally is gone."

Yanni raises his head up proudly. "We learned from the best!"

Steven chuckles.

They all exit the rink down the tunnel; Vladdy remains though. He clutches the piece of Yzerchuk close to his heart and looks up at the ceiling.

"Thank you Wayne Gretzky for giving me such a special stick. I'll never ever forget him. He'll be with me always. Yzerchuk." He then channels his electrokinesis powers and molds the piece into a lightning bolt trinket. "He'll never leave me." He then finds a string - a temporary string - to use and creates a necklace, putting Yzerchuk around his neck. "There, he'll remain as my good luck charm and never forgotten! A symbol of my hockey career!"

With that he nods and races off, down the tunnel, with the lightning bolt - Yzerchuk - glowing blue on his neck. He bursts into the locker room and goes right for the cheese and loses himself in the joyous occasion.

****

Note: Okay, let's get a few things straight here, no, Gally's not really dead (I love to write his evil character too much), nor Yzerchuk. Both will be back to terrorize and save Tampa in future stories. This is simply an ending for this story.
