"Guardians, I'm sorry for summoning you on such short notice." RZ said in an apologetic tone as his remaining Guardians entered the HOK. It was two days after the Thanksgiving attacks, and all non-injured Guardians has been enjoyed some much needed downtime, that was until RZ had summoned them, and they could be found standing in front of RZ.

"What's going on, RZ?" Troy asked his leader.

"Four teams are hosting charity events today, and with all that positive energy, the Megacore's will be fully charged, making them likely targets for Endgame." RZ said in a concerned tone.

"Tell us who's going where." Troy said in a determined tone, a sentiment echoed by the firm looks on his fellow Guardians faces, which caused RZ to smile.

"Tua, Ricky, Dean, and Jack, you four will be defending the Giants and the Jets." RZ said as his four selected Guardians nodded their heads, armored up, and jumped into the Jets passageway.

"Amara, Layla, Jessica, and Hunter, you four will be going to San Francisco." RZ ordered. The four selected Guardians quickly armored up and jumped into the 49ers passageway.

"What about us?" Troy asked as he and his remaining allies all had confused looks on their faces.

"You two will be going on a secret mission, and I do mean secret..."

-Later-

"Good to see you, Guardians." The Jets Rusher Soar greeted the four Guardians.

"Good to see you as well." Tua said in a warm tone.

"The Megacore in the vault?" Jack asked Soar.

"Neither of them are." A new voice called out as the Giants Rusher Liberty walked out from a round a corner. The Giants Megacore in one hand, the Jets in the other. "The charity event is at a children's hospital roughly twenty-seven minutes from the stadium, and we need you four to provide security detail on the Megacore's." Liberty said as he handed Soar his teams Megacore.

"I'll be loaning the Battle Bus to Liberty in order to drive the Giants Megacore down to the hospital." Soar informed the Guardians. "While I and two of you will fly across town with the Jets Megacore." Soar instructed.

"Jack, you and I will go with Soar." Ricky ordered his fellow rookie Guardian, which earned a head nod from Jack.

"Then Dean and I will go with Liberty." Tua said firmly as the two teams split up, one heading towards the Battle Bus, while the other began heading to an are where they could take flight. Unbeknownst to them however, they weren't the only ones forming a battle plan.

-Meanwhile-

'Splitting up is the stupidest thing they could have done.' Endgame mused as she sat plugged into her throne, and with a single thought, activated two of her Crushers. The first was Behemoth, the second Crusher though looked like a walking fighter jet. 'Behemoth, F18, bring me the Megacore's.' Endgame ordered...

-Later-

"Haven't been in this bus since before I became a Guardian." Tua said as he sat on one of the buses comfortable leather couches.

"I read the archive file on that battle between you, Ish, ans Dropkick." Dean said as he sat in the front seat next to Liberty, who had a smile on his face as he drove the bus through the crowded New Jersey streets. "Not bat for your first battle." Dean said as he offered Tua a first bump, which the veteran Guardian did.

"I hope we make it on time with all this traffic." Liberty said in a concerned tone as he looked at the clock that was built into the Battle Bus.

"Suddenly the sounds of crunching metal, and screams reached the Battle Bus, and Liberty and the Guardian duo instantly knew what that means.

"Crusher!" Dean yelled as Behemoth pushed a car to the side as he kept walking towards the Battle Bus. "Liberty, turn this bus around!" Dean ordered.

"There's to much traffic!" Liberty said in a panicked tone.

"Then stay in the Battle Bus, we'll handle this!" Tua growled as he and Dean rushed out of the bus and stood before Behemoth.

"That's a big Crusher." Dean hissed as Behemoth stood imposing at seven feet tall.

"What he might have size and strength, he'll most likely lack in speed." Tua said as he analyzed their enemy. "I'll get in close, you keep your distance." Tua ordered as Behemoth suddenly charged at them. "Super Size!" Tua yelled as he grew to Behemoth's size and charged as well. The Guardian and Crusher suddenly collided and began throwing powerful punches at each-other, each attack seemingly hitting it's mark, but due to their increased size and strength, neither felt anything. "Dean, I can't out muscle him, try and take out it's legs!" Tua ordered as he and Behemoth suddenly engaged in a wrestling match.

Dean nodded and delivered a sliding kick to Behemoth's legs, only to bounce off it's metal body. "Reaction Time!" Dean shouted as he slowed down time from his point of view and delivered a precision energy blast to the Crushers knees, which made Behemoth stumble back a little bit away from Tua, who quickly delivered a powerful uppercut to the Crushers jaw, which sent it flying backwards, where it crashed into a storefront.

"Stay down!" Tua growled as he pounded a fist into his palm. That order was not followed as Behemoth quickly stood up, and began enlarging himself, which caused Tua and Dean to have shocked looks on their faces underneath their armor, as by the time Behemoth was done, he stood at twenty feet tall, and began rushing at the two Guardians...
