AN: Sorry for the long delay in between Updates, hopefully I'll be updating this story more frequently again. Unto the show my good friends.
"Endgame got the Falcons Megacore?" Marty asked RZ through his NFL-R's communication app. Marty, Joseph and Dean could currently be found in the Seattle Seahawks empty locker room, since it was the only private place during game time.
"Unfortunately yes." RZ answered in a sad tone. "With Endgame now having fifteen Megacore's, she is one away from having half of them." RZ said in a serious tone.
"Don't worry RZ, she will not add Seattle's to her collection." Dean said in a confident and convicted tone, a sentiment mirrored by the two more experienced Guardians.
"Good luck, Guardians." RZ said with as he cut off the communication.
-Meanwhile-
"You are right about one thing, RZ.' Endgame mused to herself as she sat watching the inside of the Seahawks stadium via hacking the cameras. 'I am one away from having half of the leagues Megacore's, but not for much longer.' Endgame laughed mentally as a mechanical bird armed with razor sharp talons and glowing purple eyes was activated and walked up to it's master. 'Splashdown, acquire the Seattle Seahawks Megacore.'
-Later-
"Third quarter and still no sign of Endgame or a Crusher." Joseph mused as he and his two fellow Guardians could still be found sitting in the Seahawks locker room. The Seahawks Rusher, Freefall then entered the room.
"'Sup Guardians?" Freefall asked the trio of Guardians.
"Despite my knee aching, I'm good." Joseph answered as he began flexing his knee.
"Personally I think you rushed your recovery, Sanders." Freefall said in a serious tone.
"I assure you, I'm ready to go." Joseph said with a confident smile, and even though Freefall didn't believe the veteran Guardian, he just shrugged and nodded his head.
"Everything clear on the field?" Marty asked Freefall.
"Yea. Just flew over the field and everything is looking good for the 12th man." Freefall said proudly.
"Speaking of the 12th man, where is your Megacore?" Dean asked the Rusher. "We haven't seen it once since we got here, and if Endgame attacks, we need to know where it is." Dean said in a serious tone.
"To answer your question, it's with the 12th man as we speak." Freefall said with a smile, and that confused the Guardian trio.
"Meaning?" Marty asked Freefall.
"Well to be more specific, it's in a secret containment chamber that's right below the 12th Man flag..."
-Meanwhile-
'There is the Megacore.' Endgame mused as she was seeing what Splashdown was observing, for her Crusher had very quickly located the Seahawks Megacore located inside the 12th Man flags podium. 'I cannot attack Freefall or the Guardians when they are at their strongest, so it's time to divide and conquer, and bring in another Crusher...' Endgame thought as she severed her connection to Splashdown and activated Traitor. 'Traitor, launch a diversion attack on the Patriots Megacore, while Splashdown acquirers the Seahawks Megacore...'
-Later-
"Entering the fourth quarter, and all is clear, RZ." Marty informed his leader.
"That's good, but do not let your guard–" suddenly the communication line went dead, and Freefall and the three Guardians all knew what that meant. "Enter the Rush Zone!" they shouted as they all quickly armored up, and not a moment too soon either as the sound of screaming could be heard from outside the Patriots locker room where they had armored up. Upon exiting the locker room, they spotted a very familiar Crusher.
"Traitor!" Dean hissed angrily, a sentiment mirrored by the two more experienced Guardians.
"I know you can hear me Endgame!" Joseph snarled at Traitor. "Put this on the record, you are not getting the Patriots Megacore." Joseph hissed as he, Marty and Dean all took up combat stances.
"I'm going to enjoy sending Traitor to the scrap yard!" Marty snarled in a rare aggressive tone for him. In response to Marty's statement, Traitor made a taunting 'come get me gesture' with it's clawed left hand, Marty growled and teleported behind Traitor and jumped on the Crushers back, which resulted in the Crusher spinning in place trying to throw off Marty, to which Marty seemed to be doing a rather fine job of holding on. Suddenly Traitor released his Negacore pulse which struck Marty and sent him flying backwards, but he managed to flip in mid air and land back on his feet in a combat stance. Suddenly to the Guardians uttermost surprise Traitor turned around and began running away from the Patriots Megacore.
"Get back here you big trash can!" Marty yelled as the Guardian Trio began running after him, suddenly Joseph had a realization. "Marty, you and Dean take Traitor, I'll deal with the real attack." Joseph ordered as he quickly copied Marty's ability and teleported to the 12th Man flag and to his non-surprise he saw Freefall battling a giant mechanical osprey.
"Glad you could make it to the party." Freefall joked as he dodged a slice from the Crushers mechanical talons. "How did you know Traitor wasn't the real attack?" Freefall asked Joseph.
"When Endgame is previously in your head, you tend to learn a few of her tricks." Joseph answered as Splashdown suddenly went vertical and soared into the air, almost completely out of sight, but then turned around and began dive-bombing towards them.
"Hit that Crusher with everything you've got!" Joseph ordered as he began firing an energy blast from both closed fists that quickly soared towards Splashdown. But the attack was all for not as Splashdown dove into Freefall and the two crashed through the stadiums seating, and a moment later Splashdown was back and ready to fight, leaving Joseph to fight his adversary all alone.
"You where right earlier Sanders, I can hear you." Endgame's voice emanated from Splashdowns mouth. "You should just quite right now, you can't win!" Endgame laughed at Sanders.
"You where in my head Endgame, so you should know better than anyone, I never quit!" Joseph hissed as he took up a combat stance...
