Two women are walking all alone in the middle of the night. The street is dark and filled with noisy crickets.
"FREEZE!"
Suddenly both of them got surrounded by a squad of soldiers. Firearms are pointed at them from every single direction.
"LIE DOWN ON THE GROUND! NOW!"
Ordered one of the nine soldiers to the women strictly. Astonishingly, none of the women do what the soldier said. They just stare at him without showing any fear. Subsequently, they look at each other as if they trying to communicate with their mind.
"I'LL COUNT FROM 5! FIVE!"
None of the women moves a muscle, they just stand still.
"FOUR!"
Shout the soldier to the women, wanting them to obey him.
"THREE!" "Do humans always like this? Ordering, commanding, and asking any other living, breathing being to obey their command as if they know what's best for the being?" said one of the women out of the blue.
"TWO!" continues the soldier with a little stutter. "Humans are pushy, don't all of you think so?" said her again. "ONE–"
BASH!
"Cough! Urgh…" choked the soldier because of his blood. The other woman punched through his torso all of the sudden.
SHUCK!
Thud!
One soldier falls onto the ground from the woman's arm. Her arm is covered with the poor soldier's blood. Every soldier at the scene is horrified by the attack. In the middle of the panic, a soldier shouts, "FIRE!!!"
RATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!!!
DASHHH!!!
BASH! BISH!
Two soldiers got knocked dead by the dangerous women. Six more soldiers shoot their targets to avoid their death.
RATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!!!
DUSH! SMASH!
One soldier got kicked in the rib and another one got his face smashed into the hard ground. "GRENADE!!!" shouted the soldier, throwing the grenade at the targets.
BOOM!
SWOOSH!
STOMP! SNAP!
Another soldier's head got stomped to the ground and the other one got kicked in the back. "AAARRRGGGHHH!" screamed the soldiers while firing the targets in panic.
RATATATATATATATATATA!!!
CRACK!
Their neck was brutally got broken by the women. They fall onto the rough ground like old ragdolls.
The grey asphalt is wet with the soldiers' blood. The bodies are still twitching like suffocated fish on land. The women stare at the destruction they have made. Their clothes, shoes, and face are dyed red color.
ZOOSH!
A bullet came out of nowhere and got dodged by the woman. She takes a look at the darkness where the bullet came from, "An ambush huh?"
ZOOSH!
Another bullet came from the opposite direction got avoided by another woman. "Annoying human!" angered the psycho lady because of the attack.
"Calm down. These idiot beings don't need to take down seriously," she said. "I will take care of the first one and you will take care of the second one, got it?" "Got it," she said as she smirks full of evil intentions.
DASH!
Two of them run in different directions to find their hated ambusher. They run through grasses and bushes, looking for their ambusher hiding spot.
"Damn it!" whispered the sniper in panic and proceed to fire her with a rifle.
RATATATATATATATATATATA!!!
The bullets pierce through the leaves, twigs, and branches. None of them could even make a contact with her skin.
"There you are," said the woman that found his hiding spot.
She begins to climb the tree in under a minute. The sniper is shocked and starts to tie a rope to the branch so he can get down safely, even though he's in a panic.
Grab!
"Where do you want to go?" asked someone from his behind.
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
The woman bashes his head against the tree multiple times. She let go of the dead body and it falls from the branch.
Thud!
The dead body hit the tree and just hung there by the rope. Then, the woman lands on the ground without any injury. She walks back to the street where she got attacked. She finally got there and she gathered together with her friend.
"Azure, how's the… human…?" asked the woman with a feeling of disgust. "Hmph! Weak humans are so fragile! I just kicked him in the head and it splattered all over the place!" said Azure angrily, not satisfied with her kill. "How about you, Amber?" asked Azure to her partner in crime. "Sneaky son of a wench, he hid up in a tree. I bashed his head until he is dead," Amber spoke up about what happened to the dead soldier. "I see. Now, what should we do now?" asked Azure for Amber's guidance.
"We're going to clean these… disgusting stains and… go to the nearby city. But first, we need to find nearby water," explained Amber to Azure. "I found a stream nearby the soldier that I killed," said Azure. "Good, let's go there."
Azure and Amber enter the woods again to find the stream. Noises made by the crickets could be heard in the dark street.

"Oh, my goodness…," said Grigoriy Yevgeniy, disbelieving at what he witnessed. "They are… incredibly fast…," flabbergasted Ayca Deniz fixated on her seat. "I've never seen such a thing before…," surprised Hao Yu Chen, glued to the chair. "Even two snipers can't take them down…," Saratha Rithvik frozen by their power. "This is the reason why I called all of you to this urgent meeting. This is serious."
The mayor said while wiping his sweat from his forehead. All of them still cannot describe what they watched from the video.
"As what you have watched, this – ahem, excuse me, – this video is the recording of the soldiers before they were wiped out by those two women. In this video, all of the recordings have been mashed into one video so everyone in this meeting can have a brief moment to see what is going on," explained the assistant secretary while trying not to barf.
"What's urgent here is not only about the women, but also this," she changes the video to a slide with a few creepy images on the screen. "These creatures have roamed around not only in this city but also in other cities. This case makes me so worried," said the mayor nervously. "There are also a lot of reports and evidence involving these unidentified creatures. Some of them are these images that you see on the screen and some of them are videos like these," she said as she changes the slide to video.
"Huff… huff…," breathes the recorder while hiding behind a trash can in the video.
The person is recording something moving in the dark. The sound of chewing, slurping, and gulping could be heard from it. "Chew, chew, chomp, slurp, slurp," the recorder keeps on rolling with a beating heart. The creature seems like enjoying its meal to the fullest.
"Grough?!" the monster noticed that it is being recorded secretly.
The video became shaky then immediately cut to black and left hanging. No one could guess what happened to the recorder.
"Here's another piece of evidence of the creature," the assistant switched and then play a silent video. From the looks of it, the camera has been left overnight by the owner.
The duration of the long video gets sped up. Then, an unknown woman appeared in the video and the video begin to slow down. In it, she is just smoking and minding her own business. Later, she noticed a strange man walking towards her.
At first, she moves a little bit away from the man's direction. The thing is, no matter which direction she moves, the man still walks toward her. She took out a pepper spray and seems like she is threatening the man to back off. The man seems not even to flinch a bit.
The woman sprays the man's eyes violently while panicking. Strangely enough, the man didn't even fall back by the spray. Instead, it makes him angry and grabs the woman's wrist. He pulls the struggling woman to himself and turns around against the hidden camera.
Suddenly, the body of that man becomes sort of wide. It looks like he flaps the extra flesh on his front. It expands and spreads out like a cobra hood. There is some sort of a row of sharp and large teeth on each side.
Chomp! That's what the audience could hear in their mind when they see the man closes his flesh. Even though they couldn't see what was happening to her, they knew she is getting consumed by the inhuman man.
They could see the limbs that stick out struggling, wiggling, and moving. The limbs slowly get sucked inside as the more she struggles.
It turns around and reveals its hideous and horrifying look. It has a slit on its front body with a row of large sharp teeth. He has a huge bump that wiggles and shakes wildly. The viewer could understand one thing – the prey is getting digested alive.
The thing then walks to the left side of the camera. The video ends with the sunrise, not knowing where the inhuman being went.
"Some witnesses also reported that the women in the early presentation are the cause of the existence of these creatures. There are some pieces of evidence linked the creatures to the women and the authorities tried their best to eliminate them but they couldn't take down the creatures let alone the women," said the assistant as she switches to another slide.
The mayor began to speak, "The mayors from the other cities have warned me about these beings. At first, I couldn't believe it. But as the rumors about it keep popping up, I had to establish this urgent meeting so I can get your opinion on how to get rid of these things. I hope you can help us in this meeting," he wipes off sweat from his forehead, face, and neck.
The whole room went silent, processing what on earth is going on right now.
"So let me get this straight. First, we have not only one, but two walking female inhuman beings that are capable of killing a squad of soldiers in under a minute. Two, we have monsters that could eat a healthy adult a whole. Third, this has happened a long time ago yet no one contacts us when it first occurred. Huh," said Grigoriy trying not to explode.
"T-There are also rumors that said the monster occurrences are a new type of plague. Here are some more pieces of evidence," the assistant switched to another slide. "Good, that makes it fourth. Now, the citizens might die from the infection or get killed, eaten, or ripped, torn to shreds. That makes it fifth," Grigoriy starts to lose his mind. The mayor looks at his assistant with a sharp gaze, "Look. As I said before, we don't know that this is real. I couldn't even know that it could go to at this very point." Grigoriy pinches his nose bridge, "Mayor, I'm so sorry. I'm not blaming you. I just– Why now? Why they did not contact us when this starts to happen? Those people…" "I knew you're a good person Prof Grigoriy. It just, we thought that… we could take care of this with the power of the military," the mayor tries to calm Grigoriy down.
"Let's… Let's just… Let's just keep going, okay?" request him to change the topic. The mayor nods his head to his assistant, signaling for her to change the slide.
"As you can see, we hope that you could help us solve this case so we could prevent the cities from other cases," said the assistant. "Listen, we will help you. But on some conditions," said Grigoriy ready for the task. The mayor was confused, "What are the conditions?" he asked, willing to hear it. "Any rumors about the monsters must be sent to my team, otherwise we couldn't get enough information about the monsters and we couldn't connect the dots," he said. "Excuse me for interrupting," Hao Yu spoke, "I also want the research to be shared with my team so we can strategize on how to hunt down the monsters."
"You get it, Hao Yu. I also want to request something from you," said Grigoriy. "What is it, Grigoriy?" Hao Yu excitedly wants to know Grigoriy's requests. "I want you to give me a specimen of this creature, okay?" "Deal." "It's a pleasure to work with you, pal."
The mayor was enlightened by the atmosphere, "So do we have a deal?" "Yes," says both of them, ready to take responsibility and action. "So please, sign this contract," said the mayor as the assistant handed out the contract.
Grigoriy and Hao Yu read and understand the contract carefully. They then sign the contract and give it back to the assistant.
"It's a pleasure meeting all of you. I hope we could give our best to solve this case. Now, dismiss," everyone stands up from the chair and leaves the meeting room.
"Ayca Deniz, it's a pleasure meeting you," she said while giving her hand to Saratha. "Saratha Rithvik, it's also a pleasure meeting you," she shakes Ayca's hand happily. "I hope we could work together without any problem" "Me too." They walk together without any words coming out of their mouth.
The team walks out of the building with the same mission, hunting down the monsters.
