'It seems I have sewed a wedge between the Guardians, oh how delightful,' Endgame mused as she sat plugged into her throne, absorbing and storing all the negative energy she had amassed from both Ash, and her battles with the Guardians, 'with this wedge between them, they should be easy to destroy,' she continued to muse as she rubbed her mechanical chin, 'or I could continue to play with them, destroy them slowly, gives me more energy to feed off of, and I could use a source of unlimited energy.' Endgame thought as she stood up and unplugged herself from her throne and headed for the pod that would take her to Ash's location, so she could continue to toy with the female Guardian, and her emotions.
"Ash, we should probably get going, like I said, I know you would never hurt your father or step-mother." Ish said as he and Ash could be found still sitting on th swings of the city park, still holding each-others hand.
"I don't know if that's the best idea." Ash said as even though the kiss she and Ish had shared had cheered her up a lot, the thought of harming her father if she lost control still weighed heavily on her, since she did not want to hurt her parents.
"Ash, I know you, and I know would not lay a finger on your parents, your father in particular." Ish said with a comforting smile, as Ash let out a sigh and they finally let their hands break apart as they stood up from the swing and prepared to leave the city park, as they both shivered in the cool night air.
Suddenly a buzzing noise hit Ish's ears and without saying a word he pushed Ash to the side as a lightning bolt struck the ground where she had been walking, and they both turned to find it's thrower, Endgame.
"Hello Ashley, surprised to see me again?" Endgame asked in a taunting tone as she cracked her mechanical knuckles.
"Ash, run," Ish ordered as he raised his NFL, "Enter the Rush Zone!" he shouted as he armored up.
"Oh the leader wants to defend my minion." Endgame mocked as Ish took up a fighting stance, while Endgame put her hands behind her back.
"She's not your minion Endgame, she never will be!" Ish yelled as he fired an energy blast at Endgame, which bounced off her chest.
"That your best shot," Endgame laughed as she pointed a lone finger at Ish, "here's mine." she taunted as she fired a purple lightning bolt at Ish, who dodged to the side and began running at Endgame.
"Freight Train Force!" Ish yelled as his shield turned orange as he ran towards her, preparing to ram into her with his shield, but Endgame took up a fighting stance and when Ish was within striking range Endgame reared back her right fist and punched the shield, and shattered it with a sound that sounded like breaking glass, and that shocked Ish, as Endgame then proceeded to pin him to the ground, and with one powerful electrified punch deactivated Ish's armor.
"Let him go!" Ash yelled as she had returned to the battlefield and had witnessed Ish's defeat.
"I don't think so," Endgame mocked as she eyes Ash, and while her right hand had Ish pinned, her left pointing finger began firing low powered lightning into his body, and that made Ish twitch around like a fish out of water, and he let out a scream as lightning flowed through his body.
"Endgame, you coward, fight me!" Ash yelled as she took up a fighting stance, as even without her armor, her anger was almost as tough as armor, as her eyes kept flickering back and forth between green an purple, and that made Endgame smile as she saw that, and released Ish and tossed him to the side, as he crashed into the metal swing set.
"I admire your bravery, but without your armor, you are no match for me, none of you are, and need you not forget, I am in your head Guardian, you cannot hope to beat me." Endgame said in an amused tone.
"The human spirit can accomplish anything, I have a heart of gold and will of iron, and I will not let you hurt my friends anymore!" Ash yelled as Ish unbeknownst to Endgame had risen slightly, and had reached into his right pocket and pulled out Ash's NFL-R, and tossed it to her, at the same time Endgame fired a lightning bolt at her, to which Ash began running and jumped into the air and front-flipped through the air and grabbed her NFL-R and slapped it unto her left wrist, "Enter the Rush Zone!" she shouted as her armor materialized, as she landed and took up a combat stance.
"So you have fight in you, good, more power for me." Endgame said in an amused tone as she humored Ash and took up her own combat stance.
"Feed on this!" Ash yelled as she jumped into the air and activated her flight app and took flight, and began flying circles around Endgame, firing a continuous energy blasts at Endgame, but much to her non surprise, the attacks kept bouncing off Endgame.
"When will you learn that your energy blasts will never harm me?" Endgame laughed as she prepared to fire back, as Ash had a risky idea.
'She can defend against our energy blasts, but can she defend against her own?' Ash mused as she had little time to plan farther as Endgame launched another lightning blast at the air-borne Guardian, but to Endgame's actual surprise, Ash managed to catch the lightning bolt, and throw it back at Endgame, where it struck her in her mechanical chest and actually sent her stumbling backwards a few steps, and she began to laugh.
"Ashley, while I admire the creativity of that last attack, you surely cannot think it's enough to defeat me?" Endgame laughed, but to her surprise, Ash was nowhere to be seen, but suddenly a sound caught Endgame ears, and she looked up and saw Ash soaring towards the ground in front of her.
"Super Stomp!" Ash shouted as she brought her foot down, and due to her momentum she ripped the ground open and it created a miniature earthquake that ripped the ground apart and created a fissure that quickly snaked towards Endgame and the fissure made her stumble backwards, and she fell on her mechanical backside, where Ash flew through the air again and covered the distance between the two of them and began punching Endgame's face so hard that she actually cracked her skull like face, and that made Endgame gaps in pain, as she finally swatted Ash to the side, but it didn't phase her for long as Ash jumped into the air again, "Super Kick!" she yelled as the swirling ball of energy formed on her right foot and she kicked in into Endgame's face, and her skull like face cracked even further, as her face began to glow with a purple energy.
"Give up." Ish ordered as he managed to rise long enough to make his way to Ash's side.
"The battle is lost," Endgame said in a low pain filled whisper, "but the war has just began!" she laughed as she threw a smoke grenade into the ground and vanished into cold night air, leaving the two Guardians behind.
