Central Bank. Hope City, July 10, 5h22.
The doors of the bank went flying. Gorilla-Man had burst through with a vicious punch.
"Get everything, boys! Put this place down if you have to!" shouts Gorilla-Man.
A smoke bomb flies into the bank, and the men start falling one after another.
"Tch, Girl Wonder. Don't the baby girl has a sleeping schedule?"
"I should be asking it, G-Man! You see, stuff like these is why nobody likes supervillains."
"You're witty, Predator, but not enough to survive this!!"
A massive fist came crashing, but the Wonder Girl narrowly evaded it -- with a smile on her face -- and then she countered with a kick to the man's temple.
Gorilla-Man stumbles backwards and falls on his butt.
"Already done, big guy? I guess all that size really IS compensating for a little something~"
"It's not little!!"
He tried to hit her again, but the girl's agility was nearly superhuman.
"I was talking about your endurance, but..."
The Predator's mocking was already making the gorilla go insane. He punched again and again, but she kept leaping over his head and he was missing by a mile!
"Ugh! If I wanted to be made a fool of, I'd live in Quest City, Girl Wonder!!"
Predator drops a smoke disc and disappears from sight.
Gorilla-Man can't find her. His hearing was enhanced just like his strength and durability, but the girl's stealth skills were on another level.
She could walk circles around him, laugh all she wanted, and still go unnoticed.
The Wonder Girl was certainly the Apex Predator of the stone jungle.
Something big struck Gorilla-Man's face and his large body falls sideways, hitting the head hard on the marble ground. "Augh!"
He got hit again in the stomach.
The smoke died down.
Wonder Girl was sat on top of his stomach, with a condescending smirk on her face.
Of course, she wasn't nearly strong enough to keep Gorilla-Man on the ground. Her 153 centimeters frame, who weighed mere 43 kilograms couldn't compare to the size of a seven foot, 700 pounds heavyweight.
What annoyed him the most was that she had the balls to keep mocking him despite being just a weak little girl, who barely got out of her diapers!!
"Gaahhhh! I'M GONNA KILL YOU! I'M GONNA RIP THOSE TINY BEANS OFF YOUR CHEST AND FEED IT TO MY DOGS!!" he shouted like a mad-man, trying to hit anything on sight.
Predator jumps back, putting a few dozen feet between themselves. She whistles, watching Gorilla-Man denting holes in the walls and ground.
"Hah hah haha ha hah!"
Then, Gorilla-Man is knocked out by a something that darted out of the shadows.
To everyone else, it was like watching a bullet putting a man down. For Predator it was a swift elbow to the chin.
Lights out.
"Thanks for the help, Nightman!"
The shadows didn't reply. It disappeared as fast as it had came.
"Everyone is okay?" she looked down on Gorilla-Man's unconscious figure. "I mean, everyone ELSE is okay?"
Park Bartholomew, Quest City, 5h27.
"It's Doctor Gelada! Ru--" the man shouting it to his family was instantly turned into a block of ice by the blue woman in a white lab coat.
Everyone else shouted in despair or ran as fast as they could.
"Insignificant ants... your mere existence makes my heart throb. I want to make all of you perfect! No more decaying bodies, decomposition... just the perfection of human anatomy, kept for eternity." she licks the lips and aims her palm at a shell-shocked lone little girl.
But before the wave of coldness could reach the girl, a orange blur catches her and places her down in a nearby area.
The little girl receives a pat on the head and a wink from The Rush, and it makes her snap into her senses. But it was the ice-cream that sealed the deal.
"Impressive, Amber Speedster. But even your speed won't keep you safe from the biggest enemy of your life; time," the woman tried to hit him with beams of ice but he dodged it.
"I thought you were going to say 'ME! MUAHAHAHA!!' not gonna lie."
But she was right, he didn't have much time. So he had to be fast!
"Thankfully, that's my whole motif...! Get ready, doc, it's Rush Hour!"
The speedster's eyes glowed brightly and he sped up, circling the woman as fast as he could.
He may not be fast enough to create a cyclone, but he was just fast enough to drain enough oxygen from the air to turn her powers off.
"Kh...! Damn you, Amber Speedster!!"
And with a haymaker at nearly 60mph, the woman was knocked flat on her ass.
"More luck next time, Doc!"
After unfreezing everyone safely, and with a LOT of patience, The Rush zooms away from the park.
Docks of New Atlantis, 5h32.
A slender boy was trading blows with a kraken, underwater.
Submarine hits two, three good strikes and gets hit twice as hard once.
Krakens were tough.
(I can't give up just yet. I must protect the docks...!!)
After pumping himself up, he went right straight for more but it was useless. The kraken's strength was too much even for Submarine's. And skills designed to face humanoid opponents weren't of any help.
(But I don't understand, why is she so aggressive?)
Then Submarine saw it. He looked at the surface, running away from the docks, a group of men holding massive eggs with them.
(Those are the kraken's eggs! She's trying to get them back!)
Submarine clenches his sharp, shark-like teeth in anger and swims as fast as he can. His lower half turned into a long fish tail.
Faster than a bullet, he emerges right through the wooden planks!
"Give them back!! Nn, rah!"
With a swing of his fist, the humans doesn't stand any chance and they are easily knocked out.
The kraken eggs roll down and fall underwater, where they belong to.
"NO! MY MONEY!!" shouts the only conscious man.
"What have you done?!"
"Saved your lives. That kraken would destroy the whole city just to get her eggs back."
Submarine's gills, and fish characteristics started diminishing. The boy resembled more a human now.
"Gh! You son of a bitch!!"
The man tried to stab Submarine, but it broke on his skin.
"Wha--?"
"Leave. Now." he showed his big, sharp teeth.
The man's light left his eyes and he fell unconscious.
"Um, I didn't meant this way, but... it'll do." chuckles the Atlantean boy.
Satan's Interdimensional Airport, Hell, 5h41(?).
"Father, for the last time, I'm not going to prostitute myself in there. I just want to have my own life, and my own things! You can't keep me down here forever."
The girl strides over the tormented soul of millions. Her devil father floating right behind her.
"But, sweetie...! You don't know how vile, and treacherous, and sneaky those disgusting humans can be!"
"Just because most of them end in hell, it doesn't mean that all of them are bad people, dad. Can't you give them a chance?"
"My job is to punish them. The other guy gives them a lot of chances, but they still end down here. It must mean something to you, sweetie!"
"Well, I'm still willing to try." she shoots her father a smile and hugs him.
The devil hugs her back and sheds a tear.
"Please, sweetie, just stay safe up there. And you know, if anything bad happens to you, I'll turn their veins white and make them sweat blood. As in, I'm going to do real damage on them."
"Dad, don't say scary stuff in front of the wandering souls of countless people... and that's embarrassing, by the way!" she hops into the interdimensional, five stars, first-class, highest-rate, 100% secure, private, "Please-Magia-Don't-Go" jet.
"Bye, sweetie, daddy will miss you so much!" waves the devil, in tears.
His baby girl had already left to travel to the world of humans.
It was a phase that he understood every young girl must go through.
The papa-hawk sighs.
"Haa... Alright, she's gone now. She'll be back once she loses faith in humanity as a whole. Their miserable lives aren't worthy of my baby girl's worry. She'll be just fine. Hey, Leslie, let's make a bet. I'm certain that my little Magia will be back in a month. Tops."
"I'm certain, sir." the helpless soul of Leslie just nods, before being eaten by Satan.
"I should go check on her just in case."
