Ashlyn's POV:
After one of Antivort's black tentacles grabbed Angel, Alex and I just chased after it. We didn't actually run as much, we used our abilities to get us to the cemetery in much faster time.

"Umm, what do you think Antivort wants to do with Angel here?!" I asked so confused.

"I don't know, but I don't think we're alone," Alex pointed at another person beside Antivort. We both gasped at the reality we saw,

"There... there going to kill her!!!" I said as I ran to the two. I knew Alex followed behind me too, I wasn't letting anyone touch my sister, if they do, they'll get what they deserve. Antivort teleported not long after seeing us, but the other person was still there. I stopped and tried to get a good look at who they were. I couldn't tell for the love of God. I knew they were wearing a red hoodie, that's about it. Alex caught up with me and both of us slowly walked over to the person. I knew what I was preparing myself to, I was really for anything.

"Who are you?! What did you do to Angel?!"

"(Laughs) She was in my way, don't worry, you'll join her soon!" In the darkness, I saw RoPo, but he had a completely different personality. I knew too well what could have happened, I wasn't holding back. He came charging at me with his hands as black claws. He tried to strike me with his claws but I dodged him and gave him something to burn.

"Hey, you like fire, right?" I said as I shot a fireball at him. He was hit, but I'm my attempt to stop him, I made him angry, "Shit." His face was covered in black goo; he was healing himself. He jumped back and ran full force at me,

"Ashlyn!?" I heard Alex say. RoPo let me go and I crashed into a few large tombstones and fell under a rubble of them. I was fine, physically. Mentally, oh I was pissed off.

"Alright you f*cking .EXE, you want some of me, then I'm coming at you!"

RoPo.EXE's POV:
I grinned when I saw that fire girl coming all Human Torch. As if she can stop me, I ran back  to her; behind me I had my arm as a black blade. I gave a larger smile and both of us gave our attacks. An explosion could have been seen from miles away. I came out of the explosion alive and uninjured, Ashlyn ok the other hand...

"(Laughs) What's wrong, going start to cry?" I continued to laugh, all her face was burned. I finally calmed down and saw that she was still standing, "Huh? That explosion would have killed anyone, how are you still alive?!"

"Well, it's pretty simple... because I'm determined that I will win," she said with a grin. She was getting very annoying, I don't need another to give me a hard time. Then I realize something...

"Wait, where's..." Her brother was digging up Angel's grave, "A distraction?!"

"Not so smart after all, are you big brain?" I needed stop that guy from destroying my plans. I teleported to him and violently pushed him away. I then grabbed him and did a bowling ball move and threw him to Ashlyn over there.

"You can't escape me anymore!" I gave them something to feel pain with by throwing black spears at them. I smiled as I watched blood spill out. Alex took all the spears I threw at both, and I threw a lot. He eventually fell to his wounds and laid there. I was planning my exit when I felt the ground rumble. I was concerned, I turned around but didn't see anyone. I looked back at Ashlyn, she was concerned too. Then, I felt a burst of energy coursing through my body. It hurt like hell!

"Who the f-" I saw who I'd least want to be here. I wasn't too happy, neither was her.

"Thinking of harming both my siblings and I, you have crossed the line in which there's no going back." A wave of energy was shot out, it was too fast for me to dodge it.

Ashlyn's POV:
At least I knew that Angel was alright, being under that amount of dirt could actually suffocate someone. Angel was different, she isn't one to make sacrifices like that. She has a desperate desire to stay alive, no matter in what pain she's in. I was distance enough that her energy wave didn't impact me. It wouldn't either way. I couldn't really do much, but I did what I could to get our brother back.

"RoPo?! Don't you remember when you bet me in Fighters Unity a while back? You had that happy smile I could never forget."

"What are you trying to do? You already fought me with physical attacks, now you're using words? Ha! Don't make me laugh!"

"Please, we always had small battles like this before. You may not remember as well but, we use to fight like superheroes and super-villains all the time when we were kids." RoPo's face wasn't visible anymore, he had little idea that Angel was slowly sucking up all the negative feelings out of him. Though, Angel couldn't do it forever. I needed to break the .EXE's control with emotional memories.

"You know, we use to like the same kind of donut."

"Shut up, why do I care?"

"Triple Chocolate, mmm, just thinking of it is making me hungry."

"I'm not interested in your story times, in fact... I'm not interested in you at all!" That kinda broke my feelings. I was not going to lose faith, but Angel was losing power. RoPo.EXE was still strong enough to do... whatever the hell he was doing!

"Please, RoPo? For Cap and Jack, just come back."

"Captain America is dead! Dismembered to bits and Jack is currently suffering all alone in the same room as the dismembered body parts." He laughed. Angel and I were in shock, Angel soon ran out of energy. RoPo then got up and grabbed her by the neck.

"You... why..."

"I didn't do it, I was only a part of it," I saw RoPo press on Angel's neck much harder, I was starting to cry.

"RoPo, stop! Just that it out on me, she doesn't need to die!!"

"Don't worry, you'll join here soon..."
