The heart of a true star
He hides the senseless guards inside the closet and closes it. After some seconds, some screams came from the auditorium.
« It seems that Sylas is very involved, » Viktor says to Singed.
« I do not like it. He has just to hold them off with some menaces and chats. »
The inventor agrees. Sylas does not have to create too much havoc; the response of the Star Guardian should be minimal, or he risks to be overwhelmed. Viktor does not question his skills, but he remembers how much tricky was facing a quintet alone, without the help of his mechanical helpers.
« I will go to help him. I do not think there are other guards here, » Viktor says.
Singed nods and proceeds on his path, while Viktor goes back, ready to assist his colleague.

« A man has suddenly appeared on the stage of the auditorium, and now he is terrorizing the crowd. The Star Guardians are trying to stop him, or I think so. His blows look like theirs. »
She munches some pop-corns loudly, and the noise covers the last part of the woman's speech. He would have never thought that one sentence of hers could create that pandemonium. She was proud of herself.
A vacuum cleaner turns on, and she puffs. She picks the remote control and turns up the volume, fed up for that whir in the background. It is ruining the show.
« Jinx, could you turn down the volume? I am trying to study. »
Lux's voice comes from the other room, but she is not willing to listen.
« Well, tell the shorty to turn off that thing. She is making noise too. »
« Mine is white noise, and it helps to relax. You are splitting our eardrums! » Poppy shouts, going on using the vacuum cleaner « Wait a minute, is that Ahri's voice? »
Some steps follow her question and, in a short time, almost all team is around the sofa. The only exception is Janna; she approaches slowly, as usual.
« What is going on? Who is that guy? » Lux asks.
« Sylas, » Jinx answers, munching another popcorn.
« Do you know him? » Poppy asks suspiciously.
« Everybody knows the story of Sylas the " Unshackled Star Guardian ". »
« But I do not understand... It looks like he is using the powers of the First Star. No, it looks like he is using the same powers of Ahri's team. Is he also one of us? So why is he fighting them? » Lux asks, very puzzled.
« You do not know him, really? But he is from your area. »
The girl thinks about it; his appearance actually seems familiar.
« Look, there is a robot! » Lulu shouts, pointing at the television.
She is right. A man almost covered with mechanical limbs has appeared on the stage, and his third arm begins to shoot a laser beam at their colleagues.
« Oh, he is evil too... » the Guardian says deluded.
« Does he also belong to your thug connections? » Poppy asks Jinx.
« If you had been born in my neighbourhood, dustbuster, you would have known half of the retired criminal world too. »
« I understand now why you have always insisted on coming to my house. » Lux says, still shocked.
