Smashed Still

When humanity is threatened only the super powered might of the Toronto Maple Leafs can be counted on to save the day. As the days start to get longer the Maple Leafs start to focus on their true goal. The only thing that can get in their way is themselves.

Nashville Predators hero PK Subban yanks the steering wheel hard right and presses his foot to the floor. The car speeds down a narrow alley.

“Any time soon would be nice!” PK yells over the squealing tires.

In the passenger seat John Tavares fumbles with a glowing metal orb. Lights dance in mesmerizing patterns along its surface but the Toronto Maple Leaf has not yet unlocked the orbs greater powers, not entirely. He was able to travel with his friend PK across the planet to Hong Kong, but he can’t get them home. So far PK’s intimate knowledge of the back alleys and side streets of Hong Kong was keeping them ahead of pursuit but how long could they count on luck?

It’s not as if John doesn’t know what to do, The Leaf is well trained. It’s not like he is lacking in skill, the Leaf is recognized as one of the strongest heroes in the land. It just seems that no matter what he tries the Leaf can’t make anything happen. It’s frustrating and John is struggling to stay calm.

“We need it now!” PK yells.

John looks up, a large truck is backing into the alley ahead. With seconds before the inevitable impact John closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and activates the orb. Instead of death and rending metal John hears brakes and dirt. He opens his eyes and looks out on to a long dark, unlaced road.

“Okay.” PK says. “Just keep doing that and things should work out.”
