The two combatants pushed each other into each stand due the space of the Black Market Car. Every shove meant every stand gets destroyed much to the dismay of every slug running it. All crying out for them to pay for the damages every time. 
 
Captain Britain managed to use the psionic shield to protect herself from the stinger of the Scorpion. But even then, it didn't stop the Scorpion shoving her constantly, pushing and pushing with Captain Britain delivering the same blows back. 
 
Complete with kicking the Scorpion right in the chance, stumbling onto the next stand. Betsy attempted to draw the action away from civilians and hoped to find an empty space. To her shock, there seemed to be none as ran on top of the stands with the Scorpion not far behind. 
 
The Scorpion tackled Captain Britain, both falling right into another stand. The two opponents ended up being stuck for a minute or two until finally, Captain Britain managed to escape first. With the Scorpion groggily following afterwards. 
 
Finally, Captain Britain spotted an opening and punched her directly in the face as hard as she could. The Scorpion stumbled back from the super strength of a punch, complete with exhaustation and dizziness, she passed out on top of the already destroyed stand. 
 
Betsy breathed heavily after fighting roughly in an enclosed space. But suddenly she felt something on the back of her neck finally. She pulled out the object being a chip on her neck. Instantly, she calmed down. 
 
She looked around her surroundings and was horrified at what her actions caused. The destruction of the entire area. Once she was greeted with angry slugs however, soon they were greeted by a bright light where the Scorpion used to be and disappeared. She was gone much to the shock of Captain Britain. 
 
Though the slugs instantly went back to berating her about the damages. Captain Britain stared quizically at them, not knowing how to pay for the damages. 
 
"Need help?"
 
Betsy turned to the source of the voice. 
 
"Long story, we'll explain." Spider-Gwen  answered. 
 
-----
 
A few hours later and a few explanations in tow, the group managed to repair the Black Market Car best they could. Betsy could not believe what she was hearing about large trains and the fact that she was forced to be in some kind of sick fighting tournament. 
 
She believed them nevertheless however. 
 
"So where do we find our kidnapper?" Captain Britain asked. 
 
"That's what we're trying to find out." Spider-Gwen replied. "Just seems like a long way there."
 
Suddenly, they felt as if the entire ground shook like an earthquake. Some managed to ground themselves while others had to hang onto an object to keep standing. 
 
-----
 
He pressed a green button as he watched the monitors. 
 
"There are the last two fights left. Might as well let the others come. The time is now." He said ominously. 
 
The child, Grogu had been trying to use the force at times to no avail. He felt exhausted. But maybe he could give it one more try. He stared at the case containing the two halves of the robotic ball. Closed his eyes once more. 
 
-------
 
The door opened to reveal Spider-Gwen and the others, now with Captain Britain joining them. 
 
"How long do we have to keep going?!" Barbosa shouted over the loud train roaring. 
 
"As long as it takes!" Spider-Gwen shouted back. 
 
Captain Britain stared at the outside in amazement until Black Canary dragged her away, reminding her of the journey that lies ahead. 
 
Finally, they entered another car and to their confusion, they stumbled upon one of their more peculiar sights; a baseball field. 
 
With dinosaurs. 
 
"This train..." Spider-Gwen said, still speechless. 
 
"Who are they?" Captain Britain asked, pointing to two individuals who are smaller in comparison. 
 
The group ran down the field to meet the individuals. Only for Zack to shout for them to slow down. 
 
"Sorry, we're in the middle of a game." Zack said as held up a baseball bat over his shoulder casually. 
 
"...What's going on?" Black Canary asked. "Who are you?"
 
"The name's Zack." He introduced before pointing his baseball bat to Din, standing in the middle of the field as pitcher. "And that's Din. We're pretty much in the same situation as you are."
 
"So what are you two even doing?" Captain Britain asked the Power Ranger. 
 
"Helping the dinos out with their game." Zack answered. "The Meat Eaters and Leaf Eaters lost a batter and pitcher. So I volunteered us to play."
 
The rest looked at Din, holding a baseball glove, no doubt according to his body language, he was not too impressed. He stared back to say very dryly,
 
"I have no idea how this game is supposed to work." Before adding, "Or even why."
 
The rest of the group much to the chagrin of Barbosa decided to stick around until the game ended. All of which were amused by the sight of baseball playing dinosaurs. 
 
As it turned out, the meat eaters won and Zack and Din said their goodbyes joining the rest of the group as the train door closed. 
 
"That was just plain weird." Spider-Gwen said with the others murmuring in agreement. 
 
"Wait, look!" Captain Britain pointed at their next location. 
 
They now saw that they were going straight into the main train. Finally, they were going to meet the Conductor. 
 
"Hopefully we'll get answers." Black Canary said. "About time too!"
 
The train doors opened for the group. 
 
"Come on in!" They heard a British accent voiced call out to them. 
 
Without hesitation, the group walked into the train as the doors closed behind them. 
 
The room was dark saved for a few monitors that illuminated the room, which all proved to be more technological than they expected based on what they managed to see. But Din saw something that alarmed him. 
 
"Kid!" He cried out upon seeing the child, Grogu. 
 
"Ah, ah!" They heard the same voice. "Don't try anything you'll regret!"
 
"Who are you?" Spider-Gwen demanded to know, having enough of this whole madness as was the rest of the group. "Are you the conductor?" 
 
"Well, technically speaking yes." He replied. "But I wouldn't call myself that."
 
The lights turn on and finally, the mysterious benefactor leapt up from his chair to reveal himself as he spun around. A man with brown skin and slick black hair wearing brown and purple clothing. 
 
"I'm more of a puppet master." He said with demented glee. "Or just The Master."
 
"And welcome to the recruitment drive!" He then added. 
 
------
 
She awoke with a gasp. A young blonde girl, who looked no older than thirteen, with a red jacket and white pants, Adora, woke up with an intense and fightened look on her face. 
 
Last she remembered, she was with Catra on a date. Now that the war was over and Catra now freed and even both of them admitting their feelings, they could do what they wanted now that Etheria was in a state of peace. But a bright light overcame her and here she was. 
 
She found herself in the center of a place she did not recognize. It seemed like the market stands in some villages but not as flashy as what she saw. Sort of. 
 
She could tell the interiors of the mall, no matter what she knew what it was, had been vandalized. Graffiti on the walls, broken windows, discarded items everywhere. Curiously, there were some make shift areas like a sign that said "Loot Drop."
 
Adora wondered if she accidentally found herself in someone's home. Or a potential cult. 
 
Suddenly, she heard running footsteps from behind. With the sword behind her back, on instinct, she grabbed hold of it and turned around to see a young woman in ragged clothing and dark skin with a look of fear in her eyes. 
 
Adora immediately felt guilty of she scared her. 
 
"Who are you?!" Shouted the young woman. 
 
"Um, Adora." The blonde girl awkwardly introduced herself. 
 
"What are you doing here?" The interrogated further. 
 
"I've no idea, I swear!" Adora stammered. "I just got here and I have no idea where I am and why!" 
 
"Are you with that... thing?" The woman asked further. 
 
Adora looked behind the woman to see a dozen children a few feet away huttled together in fear. It occurred to her that the woman was protecting these children. But from what, she had no clue. She understood the look of fear in her eyes nevertheless. 
 
"What thing?" Adora asked. "Who exactly are you talking about?"
 
CRASH! 
 
Suddenly, she heard a loud noise. Turning around, Adora saw one of the stores explode, spreading dust everywhere. 
 
The rubble cleared to reveal a peculiar sight that Adora understood what the women and children were afraid of.
 
Stepping out of the rubble was a huge hulking monster, not exactly Hulk sized but close enough. A dark purple skinned brute with a muscular body, red eyes, brown pants and boots and spiky hair that kind of resembled somebody straight out of Dragon Ball Z. 
 
The beast or maybe man gave an intense glare. 
 
"Where am I?" Lash growled. 
 
Finally on instinct, Adora shouted the immortal words as she lifted her sword in mid air. 
 
"For the honor of Grayskull!"
 
In an instant, she transformed into a tall, young woman with long blonde hair, decked out in gold and white armor and a red cape, resembling a warrior of great strength. A warrior named She-Ra.
 
The inhabitants of the Mall Car stared in awe at the sight. All amazed who she transformed into in front of their very eyes. 
 
A piece of rubble from above fell onto a random boombox, pressing play by accident. Out of it came the song "Take on Me by A-ha much to the confusion of the now soon to be combatants. 
 
"Take cover," She-Ra said to the young women and children. "I'll fight him off!"
 
With that, the two fighters ran toward each other ready to fight. 
 
-----
 
Yes, The Master from Doctor Who, in his current incarnation, is the main villain of this story. Continuity wise, this takes place before Spyfall. Spoiler alert:
 
In fact, it actually takes place before he destroyed Gallifrey and there's a reason that's at play here. 
 
As for She-Ra and Lash, She-Ra is at full strength post season 3. As is Lash, who is an energy manipulator such as energy conversion, absorption, manipulation and even makes energy shields. 
 
And this is the Shopping Mall Car. As always, how much damage will this car get and how much the two can use the mall car itself to their advantage. 
 
And this is the second to last fight because I have quite the choices in mind for last.

I really enjoyed this and the arc is pretty fun!

I dont know much about the Master or Dr. Who, so I'll have to do research on him so I can have a better idea for this story of yours to see the future installments.

 

As for the match, I honestly don't know. I'm not too familiar with the characters. I think they had a version of Lash on Agents of SHIELD but I really don't think that was too faithful to the comics. I'll have to research both before I can make a decision on winner

 

But amazing story so far

I had started reading this set-up earlier, but had to suddenly get on Zoom for an event. My bad. I've finished reading it now, though.

As a personal rule, I generally try not to read up on things that reference shows, movies, etc. I haven't yet seen but may want to watch sooner than later, but from what I read here, this story doesn't seem to spoil all that much on the new She-Ra show. But I digress. This is probably one of your best set-ups since EF's reboot. 

As for the match, Lash seems to be able to manipulate just about any form of energy, so from what I've seen from most energy absorbers, the way to beat them is usually to keep any energy from coming their way and try to draw energy out of them. Having not seen this version of She-Ra, I don't know whether she has the smarts or ability to do so before she gets blasted.

This shows that this new She-Ra is a potentially-powerful fighter, but I don't think attacks like that are going to help her against Lash.

Finally got to this. I really enjoyed that the gang got together. It was a nice build up. And I didn't expect the Master, which is a pretty cool choice. He no doubt has something nefarious planned.

I don't know Lash very well but from I've seen looking them both up, I think She-ra can win.
