A Hero Down

A Hero Down is the sixteenth and final episode of the second season of Sandguardians and the thirty-second overall.

Plot
Inside the ONC Research Lab, Dax, Jason, and Nash watch Seal as he breakdowns after discovering McGrath's corpse. Nash tries to comfort Seal but the latter continuously degrades himself, stating he wasn't fast enough to save McGrath like McGrath saved him. As Nash also begins to break down, after failing to console Seal, Seal suddenly becomes enraged and declares that the ONC are the real enemies. He spots a flamethrower and approaches it, much to the other's confusion.

Outside the facility, two ONC guards hear the commotion inside and prepare themselves. As they get closer to the entrance, Seal confronts the two guards and incinerates them with the flamethrower, performing it out of pure anger. Although the guards quickly burn to death, Seal continues his assault until Nash, Jason, and Dax stop him. Nash manages to bring Seal under control, allowing him to realize what he has done. Seal then drops the flamethrower and breaks into tears, with Nash, Dax, and Jason comforting him.

Nearby, several ONC soldiers witness the situation from a nearby hill. Colonel Bernard, the soldier in charge, contacts his superior, the Chancellor, and notifies him of the situation. The Chancellor then orders Bernard to bring the four back alive, to which Bernard agrees. Bernard then gathers up his men and they all move to capture the four Guardians.

Meanwhile, at Sandbox, Ichabod and Legend load up their weapons for a counterattack on Red Team. Ichabod asks Legend, "Are you ready for this Legend?", with Legend replying, "Ready as spaghetti!" before firing his shotgun.
