Ash shoots through the air with ease. His grey wings beat the air in unison. A creature in the air levels its gun at him. There's a loud crack, and a purple light streaks towards him from the weapon. Ash brings his wings in; he drops a couple feet before opening his wings back up, dodging the shot. He propels forward, slamming into the creature. He wraps his hands around its throat and tightens his grip. The creature gasps for air. He doesn't stop tightening his grasp. After a moment, the creature goes limp. Ash drops the body and keeps flying.

Ash doesn't notice a red dot moving slowly up his chest. Cyrill on the other hand sees it and zips towards him as fast as she can. Her light grey wings buzz as fast as they possibly can.

"Ash!" Cyrill shouts, but it was too late. With a muffled boom, a small dart strikes Ash's chest. Ash's eyes immediately roll back, and he starts to plummet towards the ground. Cyrill dives down just in time to catch him. She carefully lowers him to the ground. As soon as he was on the ground, she kneels down next to him. "Ash?"

After a moment of silence, Ash's eyes suddenly open and focus on her. Cyrill looks into his eyes. All she sees is rage and murder. She squeaks and shoots into the sky as fast as her metallic wings can carry her. Ash leaps into the air after her.

Cyrill streaks through the air away from Ash. "Calm down, Ash! Remember! I'm your friend!" She then sees Piper and knows exactly what to do. She taps her microphone in her ear. "Piper? Come in Piper!"

There's static for a moment before Piper replies. "Yeah. I'm here, Cryill. What do you need?"

"Your boyfriend is after me. Some guys shot him with some kind of dart and now he's chasing me! He wants to kill me, but I don't want to hurt him. I'm bring him to you." Cryill replies, rounding a corner at full speed. Ash flaps after her.

"10-4, Cryill. I'll take care of him." Piper says, her voice sounding hurt.

"Don't worry, Piper. He'll be ok when he sees you." Cryill says. She then zips right over Piper's head.

She could see Piper set her jaw before letting out a wave of concussive force at Ash. Ash tumbles to the ground. He whirls on Piper with a growl. Cryill is about to zip down and help, but several of the creatures nearby start to fire up at her. She zips away towards one of the huge ships that had landed.

Piper faces Ash bravely. "Come on, Ash. You know me. It's Piper remember? Your girlfriend?"

Ash just growls. He balls his fists and stalks towards her. His eyes show that he doesn't recognize her.

"Please, Ash. You have to remember your girlfriend." Piper pleads, raising her hands to protect herself.

Ash towers over her. He's about to hit her when all of a sudden, a lion tackles him away from her. The lion and Ash wrestle around on the ground. After a moment, the lion has Ash pinned on his back.

"{Calm down, Ash!}" Dakota growls in their heads. "{We're your friends. Not your enemies. You really don't want to hurt your friends do you?}"

Ash's eyes glaze over. "Friends?" He mumbles. His eyes then clear, and he looks up at Dakota. He snarls and head butts him. Dakota roars in pain, letting Ash go slightly. Ash takes the opportunity to hit Dakota in several pressure points. Dakota collapses to the side, breathing hard.

Ash stands over him ready to deliver the final blow to his temple. Right before he strikes him, Piper whirls him around by his shoulders and plants a kiss right on his lips. Ash blinks and relaxes. His eyes glaze over, and then stares at her with recognition.

"P-Piper?" Ash stammers.

Piper pulls away and smiles. "Yes, Love. It's me."

Ash glances down at Dakota and gasps. He bends down and helps Dakota to his feet. "You alright, man?"

Dakota nods his lion head. "{Yeah. I'll be fine. It's just good to have you back.}"

Ash nods. "Yeah."

There's an explosion from up head of them. When they look ahead of them, they see that another ship had landed, and an army of the creatures were marching towards them. Dakota and Ash growls.

"{It looks like this is their final assault.}" Dakota says when he sees Loki on a pitch black and gold chariot being drawn by two large skeletal horses. Ash and Piper nod.

Then people step up next to them. They glance around to see some of the rest of the New Avengers. Dani was floating above them. Flames dance across her skin. Anna is floating on air right above Dakota. Her hair is whipping around her head wildly. Coty stands next to Dakota. His armor glints in the sunlight. Reiss hovers a couple inches off the ground. Rockets and laser-guided missiles are aimed at the approaching army on his shoulders. Elyssa sits on a large red dragon above them all. Her red hair looks like fire in the sun. Mark stands next to Piper. His alligator scales cover his entire body, and his yellow eyes study the army. Rachel was buzzing on Dakota's other side. Electricity jumps across her skin, and she was hopping up and down ready to zip forward. Finally, there's Rich standing next to Rachel. He has a black bag on his back and two AK47's in his hands. They were all staring at the other army.

"This is the final battle." Coty says strongly.

Mark nods. "Yeah. Where are the others?"

"They're taking care of the ships themselves." Rachel says in her fast-paced voice. At that moment, one of the ships explodes.

"Alright. Since they're taking care of those, lets show Loki how wrong he was to try to take over this planet!" Mark roars. Everyone shouts in agreement.

"CHARGE!" Coty shouts, pointing his sword towards the army. All of them leap to life. They charge towards the army shouting various battle cries.

"Kill them all!" Loki shouts as his army surges towards them.
