Outside the battle area, the police force sets up a blockade to keep the people away while the Red Cross was aiding any injured casualties trying to help, Rita was escorting some people towards medical tents, some were helping, Rita sighed as she got a handicapped woman onto a cot.
"Thank you, Officer." She said to her, Rita smiled.
"Just doing my job ma'am, now rest up will have this situation all cleared up.
"Oh and tell the Ace Savvy fellow that he doing great helping you guys." She added, Rita kept her smile as she heard his name.
"Yes Ma'am I'll be sure to tell him." She said as she leaves but as she did, she heard a commotion, she went to check to see what was going on.
"Officer Rita, thank goodness Rita your not going to believe this but, some suped-up van came driving by and smashed through the blockade." An officer informed. Rita then looked down the path the van took. Rita then gains a shocked look.
"I'm going to need a team, I think that's with Ace Savvy." She said
-Meanwhile-
Ace and BlackJack were still fighting, of course, it was still one-sided, BackJack was still standing, but Ace was getting tired, his face had bruises he was exhausted but he couldn't give up, not yet.
"God your are persistent, you should just give up why are you even fighting, this city is as good as dead at least when we're done with it." He said. Ace struggled to get up he looked at BlackJack.
"Because… unlike you… I have something worth… protecting." He said as he got up but was dizzy from the punches. "I made a promise to make this city safe again, and I will make that happened!" He said as he raised his fist and threw a punch but it lacked the force he and it just felt like a tap on BlackJack. Which made him laugh.
"Wow, that was just some cheezy hero dialogue, you get that from a comic?" He asked as he grabbed his throat and picked him up. "You did subpar, but since I had fun, I'll give you a slow and painful death." He said as started to choke him, making him struggle to breathe. Lady and Jack then came out trying to help, but BlackJack just tightens his grip.
"Stay there, I'll get to you soon, but if you interfere he will die quicker." He threatens. Lady wanted to do something but she couldn't, she puts her gun down and closed her eyes, she refused to see another person she cares for die again.
"I'm sorry Lincoln." Lady said.
"Say goodbye, loser." He said but as soon as he tightens his grip he heard the sound of a car horn, he looked up saw a pair of headlights coming towards him. BlackJack then tossed Ace aside just as the van ran over the cards a large explosion, ensued distracting BlackJack long enough for him to be hit and sent flying and confusing the other heroes.
"Sorry for the late arrival had to get past the barricade." The driver said, Lady then puts up her gun.
"Thanks for your help, but who are you?" Lady asked. Just then a woman wearing dark blue goggles with a light blue rim, and white earrings along with a white jumpsuit, and sky blue boots with white platforms. She also has a long, off-white scarf, blue fingerless driving gloves, and a pink necklace.
"We're friends, call me High Card, the rest of us are here to help." High Card said
"The rest of us?" She asked, just then the side door opened and a group of girls came out. Before Lady could ask they saw a car door being tossed at them.
"Will explain later, grab Ace and get in the van they'll take care of BlackJack." She instructed, Lady was scptical but had no choice, she helps him up and puts him into the van. She then moved away as the van drove off, Lady then pulled out her guns and changed the ammunition to live-ammo.
-Meanwhile-
BlackJack was surrounded, the girls around him all with death stares wanting to pounce him.
"I gotta say this is kinda hot, but I'm almost out of time so let's make this QUICK!" He said as he rushed towards the one wearing a light pink dress, and a hot pink cape. She has long pink gloves, pink boots, and wearing a diamond belt.
"Big mistake pal." She then opens her cap and a shine blinded him which allowed another hero wearing a red mask and cape, light and dark blue jumpsuit with a yellow belt. She also has light blue wristbands, and dark red boot. To him him with her monkey wrench. He staggered a bit, he looked back to see his attacker.
"Huh, I thought that would have worked." She said with a sheepish smile.
"Funny kid, I'll kill you first." He said, but as he took a step he fell into a ditch, "What the hell! Where this hole come from this is sold concrete!" He yelled. Just then a girl wearing a dark blue hooded cape, with the front of the hood shaped like a spade. She wears a sleeveless black dress with an 8 on the bottom and long black gloves. She has black and white striped tights with black shoes.
"There is nothing I can't dig through, but I would be more worried about the pies." She said. He then looked around him and saw a bunch of pies.
"And what are these going to do?" He asked. Just then a another girl with her hair up in two pigtails, one held up with a pink scrunchy, and the other with a yellow scrunchy. With a yellow butterfly shaped mask with pink and black diamonds around it, and wears a black and yellow dress that resembles a jester outfit, with her pink squirting flower on the front, and mismatched boots.
"Oh I don't know, but try them, they have a deliciously explosive flavor." She laughed as the pies started glowing and soon exploded sending him flying and landed on the street face first.
"Okay, I'm getting real tired of this!" He said as he got up.
"If that's true then I guess you'll need to wake up, I got the best thing." BlackJack looked to his side and saw a girl with white face paint with black clubs around her eyes. She wears black fingerless gloves, a purple leotard, black leggings, and long purple boots. She has a black x-shaped harness with a skeleton on the front, which holds up a jet pack. She also has a black studded collar.
"Oh come on." He said as she struck a cord sending a large shockwave. BlackJack was sent flying once more but was soon caught by a hot pink strap that has red hearts on them. He was then pulled back towards the ground with a loud slam. He then looked up and saw who was holding the strap. A woman wearing seafoam green headband, with red heart sunglasses on top. She has hot pink earrings. She also has a red and black heart-shaped bow tie, and a white seafoam dress, with an 11 on the bottom, along with black seafoam boots.
"Sorry, are you okay?" She asked
"Peachy!" He said angerly as he got up, but before he could he felt his legs getting grabbed he looked back and saw a another girl wearing a red headband decorated with diamonds, spades, hearts, and clubs. She has red and white shoes, red knee pads, and red and white wristbands. She wears a red and white striped leotard with torn sleeves.
"Don't be nice, E this guy is not worth it." She said as she started to pull him and started to spin around gathering enough momentum to send him flying into a building.
"Boo-ya! Take that you loser!" She said. As she started dancing. Just then BlackJack started to get back up and rush towards her to attack, in blind rage but before he could get close, Lady showed up and started shooting at him, he then used his arms to block the shots.
"Don't dance you, idiot it's not over till the bastard is down!" She said as she started shooting again.
"Stop shooting at me, Bitch!" He said.
"Hey, pinky." Lady called out.
"Me?" She asked
"No the other shiny kid, can you do that blinding thing again?" She asked
"Yeah." She said
"Then do it!" She yelled, the girl then opened her cape and she started to shine, blinding him. "Hey, handygirl take out his knees!" Lady said, the one in the red mask then did what she was told. Bringing BlackJack down.
"E, Jack hold him down!" She commanded, E then tossed her sash around him, Jack grabbed the other end and held tight. The light soon died down, BlackJack was captured but he was trying to break free.
"Damnmit let me go!" He yelled.
"Yeah right like we're going to do that, your going to pay for what you did!" Lady said as she pointed her gun as she got close. "Now you have one chance tell me who do you work for!" She said
"Bite me, bitch!" He said, Lady then hits her with him with the butt of her gun.
"I won't ask again! Who do you work for!" She yelled. "Why cause all this chaos, why shoot an innocent police officer who was a father!" She said. The girls around them looked away. BlackJack noticed this and laughed.
"Is that what this is about?" He asked, "All because I killed some guy who couldn't keep it in his pants!" He said he soon felt the straps tighten. "Struck a nerve?" He asked looking a "E" Lady then pointed the gun to his shoulder and fired! Which only made him, laugh harder
"Jeez take a joke, look I can't tell you because I don't know, just some random bimbo came to me and gave me these awesome enhancements." He said.
"Who is this "bimbo"?" Lady asked
"Yes tell me, BlackJack." Lady looked back only to be met with an umbrella to the face sending her away from BlackJack, she then grabbed the handle and pulled out a blade and cuts the strap.
"Let's go, it way past time." She said.
"Next time, I'll get you back all of you." He said as Card Countess opened her umbrella and a smokescreen filled the area and in a instant, they were gone.
"Dammit!" Lady yelled. She then looked behind her and saw the girls and Jack. Just then they heard sicrens they looked over and saw squad cars pulling up.
"Quick scatter!" Jack yelled as everyone went into different directions just as the cars stopped
-Elsewhere-
"Damnnit I was so close to beating that Ace Savvy, I need more upgrades." BlackJack said
"Actually BlackJack, since you didn't return in time, your services are no longer required." She said
"What!" BlackJack said he soon felt his arms being restained.
Let me go now, you bitch!" He yelled
"But why I'm giving you what you wanted your final upgrade after this you'll be unstoppable and quite emotionless." She said as she grabbed a rag and placed it on his face as he inhaled his vision, soon blurred.
"Goodbye Chandler, it was fun while it lasted." She said as he passed out. "Take him to Dr. S for the final upgrade and get me a cup of tea, need to get the taste of insubordanation out of my mouth." She ordered, the grunts then did what they were told and left.
"Congrats Ace, you really pissed my off."
-Later-
Lincoln awoke in Lisa's room his body was covered in bandages, he had a ice pack on his head and Lisa then looked at her brother and held his hand.
"You did great Elder sibling, you deserve to rest." She said, just then her door opened she looked over and saw Lori.
"Lisa, how's Lincoln." She asked
"He's fine, his suit took most of the blows, but he has head trama." She said.
"We should have got there sooner!" Lori said
"It's not your fault, from what Ronnie Anne and Clyde said, it seems he wanted to do this on his own." She explained.
"Well tell me when he wakes up, i'm sure he has a lot of questions." She said as she left.
-Elsewhere-
Rita was at the hospital sitting next to her husband, holding his hand as she watched him, still in a comatose state and she hated it, she needed him, they need him.
"Oh Lynn, I miss you so much, please wake up." She said just then she heard the door open she looked back and saw Lynn's nurse.
"Oh hello, Mrs..."
"Loud, i'm his wife." She said as she whiped her tears away. "Your not his regular nurse." She said
"Yeah, not enough people want to help in this city. I was about to head home myself but aj ob is never done, oh sorry I haven't introduce myself." She said as she held out her hand "I'm Maria Santiago." Rita then took her hand and shook it.
AJ55: She's always watching. Everything has a limit also do you thing the police could have done somthing? Indeed but will it be a good thing?
