(A/N): I knew I made it obvious that Emma was the Guardian, but I wanted to see if anyone didn't know. Eh, oh well!
"You're the Guardian?" Lauren exclaimed as Emma nodded her head.
"Does that mean you're the Protector?" Hydro asked looking over to Hydro.
"Yes, and you might as well know that Nessa is the Holy Child." Goldeye said as everybody looked at the small fox.
"Did you know that?" Alex asked as Nessa nodded.
"No way, my daughter is not going to be in this fight." Ivy said as Aiden rolled his eyes.
"She's not because I'm fighting this alone. I don't want anyone else to die just because of me." Emma said looking over at Renegade's body.
"Bullshit." An unfamiliar voice said as everybody looked towards the source. It was a red ferret leaning against a pillar with his arms crossed.
"Excuse me?" Nicole asked.
"Listen here, guys. By the way, name's Josh." The ferret said as he walked towards the group. "You," Josh said motioning to Emma. "Your friends care way too much about you to let you face that stupid-named group by yourself. I know you feel bad about Renegade's death, but he was meant to do it. Now you guys," Josh said turning to the rest of the group. "Woo! You're going to kick some ass and be friends while doing it. Done and done. I just saved you guys from another cheesy hero speech." Josh said before walking out of the mall.
"Um, so are we clear about what's going on now?" AJ said after a long silence.
"Yeah pretty much." Bolt said. Everybody broke into separate groups and split up amongst the mall.
"How long do we stay here before we see any action?" Drake asked as Zeke shrugged his shoulders.
"Not too long." Ruby said as she mussed up Drake's hair. She whizzed by them with Jeff, Tyler, Onyx, and Cat on their boards. Drake growled before he and Zeke followed them on their boards.
"Bad move, bat-girl." Drake yelled as he chased them.
"Ew, bad parent flashback." Ruby said with a shudder as they blazed through the mall. Drake fired a water orb towards them, but Jeff was quick to block it with a purple mind shield. Onyx jumped over a knocked over trashcan and slammed his board on the ground and sent quakes towards the two behind. Drake and Zeke fell off their boards, but quickly got up. Zeke gave them a giant speed boost putting them closer to the others. Zeke lunged forward to grab Tyler's shirt, but Tyler quickly moved out of his reach.
"Whoa, dude, lay off the threads." Tyler said as Zeke growled.
"Guys, ramp coming up." Jeff said as they all smirked. "Press the button before we jump." Jeff said as they all grinded the rail of the balcony. They pressed a button on their boards before jumping off them and into the air.
"Well, suicide will make this easier." Zeke said as he and Drake skidded to a stop. Suddenly the falling boards changed into Extreme Gear hover boards and flew toward their falling owners. They all landed on their boards and flew through the mall.
"What the fuck?" Drake exclaimed before he and Zeke ran along the flying skaters.
"Woo! This is so awesome!" Ruby exclaimed as she spun around in the air.
"Hello, important issues at hand." Cat said as they all flew back towards Zeke and Drake.
"Get ready to see some stars." Jeff said as he surrounded the battle in darkness and shot a star at the villains. Zeke went flying through the air as Drake dodged his. Tyler stopped Zeke in midair the same time Drake fired an ice orb at Cat. Cat melted the ice with her fire and froze Drake's feet to the ground. Drake unfroze himself, but quickly got thrown down when Jeff threw Zeke at him.
"Get off me, idiot." Drake said as Zeke hit Drake with his board.
"Shut your fucking mouth, smart ass." Zeke said as he got up, but the ground started shaking. Zeke and Drake looked over to see Onyx with his hand on the ground and focusing his earthquakes on them. Zeke inhaled deeply, but Jeff launched him into a kiosk successfully lodging him into it. Tyler made Drake fly up into the air as Ruby grabbed a metal bar and wrapped it around Drake. She picked him up and dropped him by Zeke.
"Ta-Ta." Ruby said before flying away on her board with everybody else. Everybody couldn't find any other Avengers and decided to just meet up in the center of the mall.
"Where are they? Even Zeke and Drake were gone." Onyx asked as Serenity frowned a bit.
"Well, well, well, after all this anticipation I expected more." A chilling voice said as Bianca and Wilmer shuddered. The group turned around to see a mongoose and echidna. The mongoose had a fake tan and straight brown hair. She was dressed head to toe in designer clothes and staring down at the group with a sickening smile. The echidna was black and white with red streaks on his arms. He had a scar on his eyes which was blue, strangely. He was wearing a red dress shirt and jeans with Reebok shoes.
"Perfecto…" Wilmer muttered sarcastically as they looked at him confused.
"Wilmer, it's so nice to see you again." The mongoose said as she waved down at him.
"Back off, bitch." Bianca spat glaring up at her.
"It's Isabella. Not bitch." The mongoose—Isabella—said glaring down at Bianca. "C'mon Austin." Isabella said towards the echidna as he picked her up and jumped down to the group's level.
"You," Austin said glaring at Shade. "You killed my friend." Austin accused pointing to a very confused Shade.
"What?" Shade questioned.
"You weren't even my friend." Cheka said appearing by Shade's side. Austin glared at Shade before looking at Cheka.
"What shit did he pull for you to say that?" Austin said as Cheka rolled his eyes.
"Dumbass, when I was alive you didn't treat me like a friend. You hit on my wife and called my child a brat. I just put up with your shit because of Jason." Cheka said as Austin scoffed.
"Whatever, you were always an idiot." Austin said as Cheka shook his head.
"So, you guys are behind all this?" Rafael said as Isabella nodded. "Ok…" Rafael said as Bianca shook her head.
"Don't ya'll underestimate this bitch. She got smarts." Bianca said as Isabella laughed obnoxiously.
"That's more than I can say for you, hillbilly." Isabella said as Bianca growled at her. The Avengers assembled behind her as everybody got into a fighting position. Isabella yawned and started to file her nails in boredom.
"Go." She said simply before walking away with Austin. Mason tackled Julian to the ground as the rest charged to the others. Zeke and Onyx locked into a death grip as Ethan and Lazarus began a battle. Katie and Chrissy were fighting each other on the ground and Drake and Hydro were going at it. Dominique took on Nicole as Nicky fought Lorgo. Ryan was fighting Bolt and everybody else was trying to assist in anyway possible.
"Cheka," Shade whispered as he ran away from the rest of the fights.
"Yes?" Cheka asked appearing beside him. Shade ran up the stilled escalator to the second floor as Cheka followed him.
"How come I didn't get my stone power? I stopped the group from breaking up." Shade asked as he ran through the second floor.
"You may have thought you stopped it, but there are still feelings of resentment. You can probably guess who." Cheka said as he looked down to Julian then over to Rafael. "The upside is that the Avengers think you got your stone." Cheka said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"But, how can I make them get along?" Shade asked as he stopped running and looked down at the fight.
"You said all you could have said. You just have to wait and see if they take it into context." Cheka said before disappearing. Shade slammed his head against the bar before groaning.
"Never helps." He muttered before suddenly he was tackled to the ground. He looked up to see Austin staring down at him.
"You're going down." Austin said as Shade dodged his punch. Shade got back on his feet and avoided another punch from the echidna. Austin quickly went behind Shade and kicked him in the back. Shade stumbled forward, but quickly got his balance and threw a chaos spear in Austin's direction. Austin avoided it and glared at the hedgehog. Shade and Austin ran towards each other at top speed and collided sending them both flying into the air.
"Face it, Julian. You can't win this battle." Mason said as Julian panted. Julian growled and tackled Mason to the ground. Mason quickly got the upper-hand and pinned Julian to the ground. Mason started to repeatedly punch Julian in the face making him cough up some blood. Julian kicked Mason off before pinning him to the ground. Mason smirked and kneed him in the stomach making Julian collapse in pain on the side of Mason. Mason stood up and pressed his shoe against Julian. He used his other leg to stomp on his leg and smirked after hearing the satisfying crack. Julian screamed in pain as Mason laughed and pulled out one of his dice. Mason was about to launch an explosive dice at him, but he got pulled back.
"Leave. My. Dad. Alone!" Luca yelled as he choked Mason with his arms. Mason growled as he grabbed Luca and threw him against the wall.
"You've been a pain in my ass ever since you were born. I'm going to get rid of you." Mason said as he charged up some dice. Julian stood up weakly as Izzy started to run towards her son. Sadly, Izzy was quickly tackled by Nicky as Julian tried to make his way to his son with a broken leg. Mason threw it at him as Luca covered his face.
"NO!" Izzy screamed with tears down her face. Julian collapsed on the ground as the explosion went off.
"Luca!" Julian screamed as the smoke took up half of the room. Mason smirked with satisfaction as everybody became silent. Izzy began to sob on the floor as tears trickled down Julian's face. Garrett wiped the tears from his eyes as Aiden and Alex comforted Nessa and Juliana. Julian sat up with tears in his eyes as he watched the smoke clear.
Suddenly something started to faze in front of him and he saw Rafael holding Luca. Rafael collapsed on the ground as Luca jumped out of his arms. Julian looked at him in shock as did everybody else.
"What the hell?" Nicky said as Mason glared at Rafael. Izzy kicked Nicky off and ran towards her son. She picked him up in her arms and cried against his hair.
"Don't do anything that stupid again." She said as Julian looked over to Rafael who was covered in ash and was starting to stand up weakly. Julian stood up and balanced his weight on his good leg. Julian put his hand on Rafael's shoulder and smiled.
"Thank you. Thank you so much." Julian said as Rafael smiled back.
"Don't mention it." Rafael said as the two hugged and the light flew into Shade's stone. Shade looked down in shock before ducking down and avoiding Austin. Austin notice his stone and quickly jumped down to Isabella. Shade looked at them suspiciously before he noticed his and the rest of the stones were glowing. He jumped down to everybody else as the ancestors appeared.
"Do we get our special power now?" Black asked as Isaac nodded. He cheered as his hands started to glow. "What do I do?" He asked as he noticed his glowing yellow hands.
"Give people happiness." Isaac said as Black slumped his shoulders.
"That's lame! How can I cause some damage with that?" Black asked.
"Well, as easy as you can give happiness you can easily take it away." Isaac said deviously.
"They don't have happiness!" Black said motioning to a charging Nicky. He accidently blasted Nicky and Nicky started to cry and huddle into a fetal position.
"Why doesn't my dad love me?" He muttered to himself as he cried into his knees. Black looked down at his hand before looking at the blubbering mess that was Nicky.
"Awesome." Black said as Isaac nodded.
"Do I do the same thing?" Lilac asked looking up at Rosa.
"Not exactly. You can't take love away, but you can project it." Rosa said as Lilac looked at her glowing hand in confusion. She fired it at Katie and Zeke and they ran towards each other. They grabbed each other and started to make out as Lilac looked on in disgust. "Yeah…it's gross, but they're distracted." Rosa said as Lilac shrugged her shoulders.
"Dude, yours is fun. You can make anyone dumb as a post." Devin said as Tyler fired his shot at Ethan. Ethan dodged it, but Lazarus tackled him to the ground and Tyler fired again. Ethan laid on the ground as he made stupid noises and pounded the ground. Tyler and Lazarus laughed at the idiot.
"I'm not going to sugar-coat yours. You do practically the same thing as Black." Erica said as Bolt shrugged his shoulders and fired his power at Drake. Drake screamed like a girl and dove into a planter and started to dig himself into a hole…literally. Bolt smirked and walked with his glowing hands swinging.
"So, you basically make people lose hope." Arianna said as Cat fired her ray at Dominique who went spiraling into the ground and started to act depressed.
"Who am I in this world? Why do I even exist?" She said to herself as Cat shrugged her shoulders and walked away.
"Let's cause some disorder for their leader, shall we?" Gabe said as Rafael smirked.
"You just make peace. You can't really do much for this fight." Anna said as Alana shrugged her shoulders. Mason glared at Rafael as Rafael raised his glowing dark teal hands. Mason threw his explosive dice at Rafael, but Rafael quickly fazed away to avoid the explosion. He ran fired a blast at Mason, but Mason ducked to avoid it. He went to jump off the ground, but he realized his sleeves were pinned to the ground with throwing knives.
"Consider this my two-week-notice." Eric said holding his arm and leaning against the wall. Mason growled, but got quickly blasted by Rafael. Rafael released the throwing knives from Mason's sleeves as Mason began to run around in a panic.
"What is going on? Why is this happening? Oh no! Everything is falling apart!" Mason yelled as he ran around. Rafael smirked at his job well done.
"Let me take a wild guess. I can make people into a sniveling piles of self-loathing misery." Lauren said looking up at Nick.
"Yeah, pretty much." Nick said with a shrug of his shoulders. Lauren blasted Ryan with her purple ray as he started to cry on the ground.
"I'm nothing, but a stupid machine." He sobbed as Lauren shrugged her shoulders and walked away. Isabella and Austin sighed at the pathetic group before walking past them and towards the group.
"You're going to have to do way better than that." Isabella said as Shade looked over to Cheka.
"Turned them against them." Cheka said as Shade blasted his green ray towards the Avengers. The Avengers suddenly stopped whatever they were doing and began to walk towards Isabella and Austin menacingly. Isabella sighed as she looked over to Austin.
"I hoped we didn't have to do this so soon." Isabella said as a black glow surrounded them both.
"Shit! Get back!" Wilmer said as everybody backed away from the two. Wings sprouted from Isabella's and Austin's back and shielded them.
"They're getting in their angel form." Bianca said as everybody looked at her then back at them. The black-feathered wings surrounding Isabella parted revealing a black and pink Isabella. Her hair was now a dirty blonde and she had a crown of thrones around her head. Her eyes were a piercing red glaring at the group. Austin's fur had become black and red and his eyes were neon green. His wings were like bat wings and were giant. He had a pitchfork and a black warrior's helmet.
"You think you have this game figured out, but you're wrong." Isabella said as she flew into the air with Austin.
"Those are no angels." AJ said as Wilmer growled.
"Guys, we have to start running." Wilmer said as everybody took off in the opposite direction.
"What the hell is this, Wilmer?" Serenity said as she ran next to him.
"Isabella and Austin are Angeles Caidos." Wilmer said as everybody groaned. "Sorry! Fallen Angels. They're not your typical angels and they're not going to help us." Wilmer said as they skidded to a stop at the end of the mall.
"Nowhere to run, now." Austin said as Isabella fired one of her flaming arrows. Hailey froze it, but it quickly melted and relit. Hailey's eyes widened as everybody dodged from the explosion.
"I have a feeling that our powers are not going to be much use against them." Stephan said as Shawn sighed.
"Keep them occupied." Bianca whispered to Suzy as she nodded. Nessa was hiding behind Ivy as Austin looked at her. His eyes began to glow as Nessa's eyes widened. Her shadow began to elongate before rising off the ground. It jumped on Nessa as she screamed. Alex tried to grab it off her, but it went right through his hands. Suddenly his shadow came off the ground and attacked him.
"Hey!" AJ yelled as Austin flicked his head over to him. "Lay off my brother and pick on someone your own size!" AJ said as Austin smirked and fired his pitchfork at AJ. AJ dove away from it, but it barely missed his leg.
"So…Andrew, you're about his size." AJ said as Andrew rolled his eyes. Andrew lit his hands on fire and began throwing fire orbs at Austin.
"Like fire? Well, let's play." Isabella said as she launched five arrows at him. Andrew pushed AJ before diving out of the way of the vixen's arrows.
"Hey!" A familiar voice said. "Let's make this a fair fight." Wilmer said as everybody gasped. Wilmer and Bianca entered their angel form when they snuck away. Bianca was now white and pink with light blonde quills. She had white-feathered wings that were huge and a halo around her head with a tiara. Wilmer was black and red with dark colored wings and a warrior's helmet on his head. His dreads turned white and a spear in his hand.
"Wow…now those are some angels." Sean said as AJ nodded. Bianca grabbed her heart shaped bow-n-arrow and fired an arrow at Isabella. Isabella took it to the wing and she growled before glaring at Bianca. Wilmer and Austin began to clash their weapons and trying to get the upper-hand in the fight.
"Emma, when are you going to do something?" Alana asked as Emma sighed.
"I can't. The stone holders possess my power." She said as Alana looked down at her stone. She looked up at Rafael who nodded.
"Gabe, how does this work?" Rafael asked looking up at his ancestor.
"I must say, Wilmer, you do look good." Isabella said as Bianca whipped her in the face with her wing.
"Back off my man." Bianca said firing another arrow at Isabella. Isabella dodged it and fired one of her arrows. Bianca blocked it with her bow as Isabella growled.
"Guys, hurry!" Lauren whispered as she, Bolt, Lilac, Alana, Rafael, Cat, Black, Tyler, and Shade gathered in a circle and held hands. Emma stood in the middle of it as she raised her hand with her symbol above her.
"Domine tu re guardia." They all chanted as Emma's symbol and the stone's began to glow. They continued to chant as Emma floated into the air.
"Pride." Lauren said as a beam from her stone shot towards Emma's symbol.
"Happiness." Black said as a yellow beam flew out of his stone.
"Disorder." Rafael said as a dark teal beam came out of his stone.
"Courage." Bolt said as his stone power went to Emma.
"Knowledge." Tyler said as an orange beam went to Emma.
"Hope." Cat said as a pink beam flew out of her stone.
"Peace." Alana said as the blue beam shot out of her stone.
"Love." Lilac said as a light red beam came out of her stone and to Emma's symbol.
"Friendship." Shade said as it went to Emma. Emma's symbol glowed white before all the colors shot out of it and flew around Emma.
"Isabella!" Austin exclaimed as Isabella whirled around.
"Damn it!" She screeched as she began to aim one of her arrows at the swirling tornado of colors surrounding Emma. She screamed with one of Bianca's arrows hit her wings.
"Don't even think about it." Bianca said as Isabella growled. The colors dispersed as everybody looked up in awe. A heavenly glow surrounded Emma. She had off-white-gold feathered wings that were bigger compared to the others. Her fur became lighter and was almost white. Her quills were longer and matched her fur. Her eyes were a sparkling white-gold and a white dress. Her dress had long-sleeves with long trails at the end. The skirt of the dress was long and had a train to it while covering her feet. It was simple and beautiful. She had a gold scepter in her hand with an orb that had all the different colors of the stones swirling inside of it.
"Never mind. Now, that's an angel." Sean said as AJ nodded.
"You have no place in this world." Emma said addressing Isabella, Austin, and the screwed up Avengers. "You've caused devastation and harm to the world and this must be stopped." She said speaking fluidly and assertively.
"Dude, this is kinda hot." Tyler whispered as Goldeye and Liecy glared at him. Bianca and Wilmer to the sides of Emma as Goldeye and Nessa had a white glow surround them. The stone holders had their respected color surrounding them.
"Just as we planned." Isabella whispered as Austin nodded. Austin swung his pitchfork toward Bianca and Wilmer as they went flying back. Emma aimed her scepter at Isabella as Isabella aimed her arrow at Emma. Something caught the eye of Donovan as he looked to the side to see Zeke aiming a cross-bow at Emma.
"No!" Donovan exclaimed before taking off, but he was too late. He and Zeke went crashing to the floor as the specially designed arrow went through Emma. Emma gasped as Goldeye collapsed in pain. Emma's eyes flickered between the two eye colors before her eyes rolled back in her head and started to free fall to the ground. Bianca caught her as Wilmer landed on the edge of the group.
"Everybody group up close!" Wilmer yelled as everybody bunched up and Wilmer and Bianca placed their wings around them. They teleported away from the mall and landed in the middle of the air above the Golden Gate Bridge. Everybody screamed as AJ stopped the oncoming cars with rock walls. Tyler stopped everybody midair before slowly easing them to the ground. Goldeye crawled towards Emma and held her in his arms. Her glow was gone and blood dripped out of her mouth along from the wound in the middle of her stomach. Goldeye squeezed his eyes shut as he tried to prevent the tears from falling from his face.
"I was supposed to protect you." He muttered as he leaned his head over hers. Everybody sniffled as they looked at their fallen friend.
"They won. They actually won." Alana said.
(A/N): The end! Just kidding…
