Jorge and Richard's POV 


Jorge: (with a nostalgic smile) Remember the time we took Ricky to his first baseball game?


Richard: (chuckles) Yeah, he was so excited. Kept asking questions about the game the whole time.


Jorge: Our little guy had a heart full of curiosity. Always eager to learn and experience new things.


Richard: (reflectively) He had this spark in his eyes. Everything was a wonder to him.


Jorge: (nodding) And that day at the stadium, cheering for the home team, that was a memory etched in all our hearts.


Richard: (smiling) Ricky, with his popcorn and baseball cap, experiencing the joy of the game.


Ricky's Flasback POV

Ricky: (whispering to himself) They move with purpose, like a well-oiled machine. I want to be like them, to protect people.


In the darkness, Ricky watched Brittney, Daniela, Bryan, Alice, Miggy, Jade, and Madison patrol the night, confronting criminals with unwavering determination. Inspired, he began training himself in secret, emulating their strength and skills.


Ricky: (determined) I won't be a bystander. I'll be someone who makes a difference.


Flash forward - Ricky's Training


In the quiet corners of the night, Ricky pushed himself to the limits. He sparred with imaginary foes, honing his combat skills. His determination echoed in the rhythmic sound of punches and kicks against the soft night air.


Ricky: (muttering to himself) If I'm going to stand with them, I need to be as strong as they are.


His training wasn't just physical. Ricky poured over books and studied tactics, determined to match the knowledge of those he admired.


Ricky: (whispering) For them, for the people who need protection, I'll become a shield against the darkness.


Days turned into weeks, and Ricky's secret training intensified.


Miggy's POV

Miggy: (grimly) Three days ago at the stadium, we faced Marvin, Toby, and Michael. Ricky... he sacrificed himself to protect us.


The atmosphere grew heavy as Miggy recounted the events. His eyes, usually filled with optimism, were now clouded with sorrow. The team gathered around, their expressions shifting from determination to concern.


Miggy: (voice cracking) We were holding the line, fighting off the criminals, and then Ricky... he faced them alone. We tried to get to him, but it happened so fast. Michael... he got him from behind.


Silence settled over the room as the weight of the loss sank in. Ricky, who had trained in secret to stand with them, had met an untimely end in the line of duty. Miggy's words hung in the air, each one a testament to the sacrifice that had taken place.
