Narrator P.O.V

It's been three days. Three whole days of training and anxious waiting. Yet, the boys think they aren't ready. Not strong enough, even.

Their muscles ached from all the hard training they've done for the past three days, sweat trickled down their foreheads. As if that isn't good enough. They're literally wearing themselves out. But after almost losing the first battle, they aren't risking for that to happen so easily again.

James noticed how the boys only take short breaks, eat half as much as they usually do, even for Niall, they train till they've finally exhausted themselves, but still wake up bright and early to start training once again. Even with the pain in their limbs, bags in their eyes, they want to make sure they defeat the Atominators for good.

"James..?" The older man looked away from watching the five lads he's grown to love and care about, fighting each other (part of their training), to be faced with Professor Varentine.

"Yes, Zenaira?" A sigh escaped the young professor's mouth, standing beside James outside the headquarters, to see what the boys are doing. "Shouldn't we say something to them?" She suddenly asks.

"I've tried, Z. But they're determined to become stronger, for the sake of everyone." Zenaira slowly nodded. Then she heard rustling and turned around, her eyes searched the surroundings. No one...oh well, probably just her hearing this, She thought to herself.

"I'm gonna head inside, you coming?"

"Nah...I'll stay here, make sure the lads don't over do it."

"Alright." Zenaira went back inside HQ, checked the time and realized it's time to check on the CCTV cams. Even though the headquarters was fairly hidden, they still needed to double security. You never know what could pop up outside their doorstep, ya know?

And as she checked, she was surprised to see four people outside the damn entrance!

"Who...the fudge...are they?"

She squints her eyes for a better look and gasped once she realizes who they were.

"JAMES! JAMES! JAMES! HOLY SHIZZLES! JAMES!!!" the young professor frantically sprinted out of the building, finally reaching the older man in seconds.

"Zenaira, what on earth has gotten into you?"

"There's... entrance... d-danger...them!" She let's out while gasping for air. Once she caught her breath, she noticed James and the lads looking at her confused.

"What was that..?" Liam questions. Zenaira straightened her posture then told them."Four out of five members of the Atominators are at the HQ's entrance as we speak and I don't know why they are there but they seem to be different and I'm worried they're here for the boys!" She said in one breath.

Zayn walked over to his girlfriend, placing a hand on her shoulder and squeezing it lightly."let's go see what they want." "But-" Zayn interrupts her and leads them back inside HQ, along with the lads and James.

Zenaira points to the screen where four people are still standing outside the entrance. Indeed they are the members of the Atominators, but something about them seems, different.

"Let them in." James orders. Zenaira hesitates, but pressed buttons on the computer's panel, successfully opening the entrance doors.

Immediately, footsteps were heard rushing inside the building. Before Harry could even say anything, he was suddenly tackled down by a body.

"I am so so sorry for hurting you, curly boy!" It took awhile for Harry to realize that it was Voltage, but more, normal?

Louis clears his throat, obviously jealous with how close his boyfriend and the enemy were. Voltage scrambles to her feet, apologizing, and went back to where her group mates stood awkwardly.

Niall held out a hand and pulled Harry back up to his feet. The younger thanked him and they all had their eyes on the Atominators.

"Before anyone of you speak, state your business. Why are you four here?" James went straight to the point. Nightmare stepped up, and started explaining.

"We wanted to ask for forgiveness..for everything we've done and said, we didn't know how much trouble we've caused until we had three, powerless days to think about it." Liam then interrupts him.

"Powerless?" The four members of the Atominators, wait, make that, past members of the Atominators, sighed but nodded. This time, Venom spoke up.

"When the guardians of freedom escaped, Johnson was furious, he said we were worth nothing to him, and we served more as sidekicks to him instead of teammates. He got so angry, he sucked all of our powers away. We're basically just normal people again.."

"I forgive them." Everyone turned to Harry, shocked.

"H, don't you remember what they've done to you?" The younger boy nodded, walking over to their once mortal enemies."But I think they deserve a second chance, I can just feel it in my gut, alright? Something tells me they'll be of good help, right?" He turned his attention to Venom, Nightmare, Shadow and Voltage. Four of them smiled and nodded to him.

Louis went up to his boyfriend, placing an arm around his shoulder."well, if my Hazza thinks we should forgive them, then we should. Can't argue with the guardian of love." He pecked Harry's cheek, then glanced at the four, no longer powerful people, in front of him."but if you so much as touch my Harry, you four are going down."

Eventually, Niall, Zayn and Liam went up to them and, as well, forgave them. Zenaira sighed but did so, too.

"James?" Shadow asked.

The older man was deep in thought. Like, come on, it's a hard decision for him since they were the ones who helped destroy his past team, no, more like friends. But people change, and that was in the past.

"I...alright."

"THANK YOU!!!"

------

"So, it's Venice(Venom), Shane(Shadow), Nash(Nightmare) and Trisha(Voltage)?"

"Yup." The four reply in unison.

"Do you know any information of what Johnson is plotting to do?"

"Honestly, no." Nash says, then quickly added in."But, we know of his abilities."

Professor Varentine smiled."tell me everything you know."

------

Liam did one last push up before giving in to the soreness in his back. His muscles burned with every slight movement he did.

"HEY! Liam, right?" The puppy eyed boy turned his head to the direction of the voice."Nash? What do you want?" He asked. Still having thoughts whether he has fully trusted him.

Nash rolled his eyes, casually leaning against the training room's wall."don't get me wrong, mate, you're strong and powerful and all, but that's not gonna help you beat that douche bag."

Liam raised an eyebrow, pushing himself off the ground and dusted off non existent dust."but Johnson has gotten stronge-" Nash cuts him off.

"Power isn't always going to help you." As Liam opened his mouth to speak, he's cut off again by Niall.

"Then, what will?"

The once evil doer smirked at the five people in front of him. He walked over to each one of them while saying."you guys gotta be clever."

Louis raised an eyebrow when Nash gripped his shoulders."uhm..we're not close don't touch me."

"Chill, but I'm being dead serious. Johnson might be stronger, but he's alone. You'll have a much better chance of beating him if you work together." Zenaira then came in, smiling.

"He's right. One Direction wouldn't work right without all five of you. So, the Guardians of Freedom won't be able to beat the bad guy without teamwork." She proclaims.

Liam, who had his arm around Niall's shoulder, averted his eyes over to Nash."then train us."

"W-what?" Asked Nash, who stared at Liam surprised.

"You know Johnson more than we do, so you know all his attacks and strategies. So, teach us what you know."

The door to the training room opened, and in came James, Shane, Venice and Trisha with smiles on their faces.

"We'll help as well." Trisha states, walking over to Nash and playfully slapping his back.

"Ow! Trish! For a girl, you really can slap a b*tch!"

"So you're calling yourself a b*tch?"

"Ugh, no! Not what I meant!"

"You're just weak, man!" Shane shouts and laughs aloud.

"Why are we friends again?"

Venice rolled her eyes."cause we just are, idiot."

"Are you guys always like this?" Harry curiously asked. And the four friends hum in response."oh okay."

"Alright!" Shane claps his hands."let's get training!"

The boys all jumped up and cheered, but immediately regret it when they felt how sore their muscles were.

"Why not we let you guys relax first, and then we'll train, sound good?"

"Yes." They groan in unison.
