Soldiers on the Loose

Soldiers on the Loose is the sixth episode of the third season of Sandguardians and the thirty-eighth overall.

Plot
After escaping from their cell Legend and Ichabod spot two ONC soldiers nearby staring at the alarm. Legend states that he and Icky knock out the two guards and take their ammo, but Icky is reluctant, believing that the guards will overpower them. Just then, the Reds find them and the two teams soon get into an argument. To stop the bickering, Legend decides that they put aside their differences and come to a truce, in order to have a better chance of escaping. After some thought the Reds agree. Miller then shows the others a way of escape: blowing up a pile of fusion coils.

Meanwhile, Bernard and Johnson inform Winters of the Blues having Seal's second Life Saver, surprising Winters. As a result, Winters refuses to lose the Life Saver and allows the Reds' and Blues' executions. Suddenly the three hear the alarm blare, which, according to Johnson, indicates a prisoner escaping. Winters then orders Bernard to inform his men of the escapees and tells Johnson to stay with him. The three then leave, leaving Seal, who has overheard everything, alone.

Meanwhile, Dax and Jason find ammo and load up. When they soon see an ONC guard approaching them, Jason, while nervous at first, confronts the guard. However, the guard is blown up into the air, directly in front of Jason, by an Elite Guardian named Bartholomew. Bart tries to talk to Dax and Jason but neither of them can understand him, so Bart leads the two to Mickey, another Guardian. Dax and Jason explain their situation to Mickey and the latter allows them to tag along. After dispatching several guards, the four make towards the prison's exit, when suddenly a pile of nearby fusion coils explode, alarming them. Legend, Icky and the Reds emerge from the explosion, being responsible for it, and are shocked to see Dax, Jason, and the Guardians. Despite this, Mickey and Bart lead the Sandbox troops out of the prison, with ONC guards in pursuit.

Trivia

 * The ONC guard questioning if the alarm is a drill is a reference to Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, where a Stormtrooper says a similar line.
 * Ichabod mentioning the weight of the ONC guards' shoulder pauldrons at the beginning foreshadows himself wearing Bernard's armor in Raiders.
 * After 21 episodes of being separated, Dax and Jason finally reunite with Ichabod and Legend.
