Miracle Armor Layguard

Miracle Armor Layguard

A story from decades past, a story that will resonate in decades future.

Hope City, a once prosperous and the financial model of all big cities, has now succumb to a horrible blight and decay at a staggering rate. The crime rate has gotten out of control, the police are useless, the people apathetic. Yet there’s something going on, something that will change the city forever, an unimaginable evil but also an imaginable good in unlikeliest of people.

Chapter 1- Night Of The Evil One.

The year is 1993.

It’s mid September, but still quite warm. The time is at 9:00PM, We see some fairly dilapidated buildings around the neighborhood. A roar is heard, unlike that of any animal that would be in these filthy streets. We see a shadow walk by fast. Then it walks in front while a great roar is let out while its eyes grow red.

We focus on a pole dancing club and bar. A sign with lights around it reads “Boy Toys”. Inside though it’s quite dimly lit, as well as filled with cigarette smoke. A dozen or so men, mostly drunk await the club’s most popular dancer, Angela. 

Angela, who is a tall woman with long red hair with a fair skin complexion and very large breasts and upturned kelly green eyes. A red metal hairband adorns her head with straight cut bangs. Has small gold earrings on each ear. Wearing pink lip gloss as well. She is dressed in a red bikini top that barely covers her chest and a matching red thong. Also wearing red high heeled boots. Lights begun to turn on from around the pole she will dance. An announcer introduces her while freestyle music plays in the background. The crowd of course, cheers.

Despite being young (20 years old), she is quite skilled at pole dancing. The crowd’s not only impressed with her sexy body, but her agility too. Her body is able to reach high on that pole with no effort. After her performance, she steps down.

Up next is her friend Dana (18 years old). She too has large breasts, has a tan skin complexion, sharp upturned peacock green eyes, plump pouty lips, large gold hoop earrings, long brown hair in a ponytail with a green scrunchie and straight cut bangs that are slightly curly. She is dressed in a pink tube top and a very short pink skirt, along with pink high heel shoes.

Like Angela, she also is skilled at pole dancing. Her breasts shake as her body dances to the Freestyle and Hi-NRG music continues to play. She’s able to perform complex dances, and even slides down the pole head first. When done, she steps down while the audience whistles and claps.

Going to the back where the dressing room is, Dana meets up with Angela. Angela responds with “Hey Dana, I saw you pole dance. I think you’re getting pretty good.” Dana responds with “Ya, but I feel like I still have a ways to go.” Angela responds back “No way, you heard that crowd, they really enjoyed it.” “Ya, that’s cuz half of them were drunk stupid.” Dana says. Angela laughs.

Angela asks Dana if she wants to go home together tonight. Dana says “Oh I wish but I have to go home to look after my sister. I’m all she’s got right now, kay? Angela says “Well I gotcha. Look, just be safe then, these streets aren’t getting any prettier these days.” Both head out the back door. Angela is wearing a black leather jacket, a tank top with red and white stripes, and jean shorts. Dana is still dressed in her tube top/skirt combo but is now wearing a white furry jacket (fake fur). Both hug briefly before parting ways.

At around 12 midnight, a young couple walked down the street. It’s dark and barely lit. A sound is heard coming from an alley. “Is that a cat I hear?” Says the young woman. The male states that it’s not worth looking there but she walks over anyway. That’s when a huge humanoid monster appears but we don’t get a good look at it, only its shadow. It starts attacking the couple. Unfortunately they don’t make it. We see blood pouring on the ground.

Meanwhile Angela is walking home. She laments that she hopes Dana is ok. She knows how dangerous the streets can be. Just then, Angela approaches the same alleyway the young couple were at. Angela spots the recently slain couple and is shocked.

Barely able to react to what she’s just seen, she turns her head after hearing a sound. We then get a much clearer view of the monster. A big hulking thing, with grey skin, big red eyes and mouth with sharp teeth but no lips, and sharp claws. Also sports a strange tattoo symbol of unknown origin. Truly a disgusting creature.

But just as the monster is about to strike, Angela presses down a button on the center of her hair band. A bright light envelopes her, while the monster shields its eyes from it. From there, she is totally naked. Her huge breasts have large areolae (despite her never being pregnant). Then, red and silver pieces of armor begin to adorn her body. Her armor covers her torso with large shoulder pads, lower arms including hands and lower legs, complete with high heels as well. A silver belt is across her waist with a red colored circular gem. Her butt is barely covered.

The monster first looks confused but then quickly lunges at Angela. She dodges and while the monster is fast with its claws and fangs, she is faster. She gives a couple of punches and kicks to the monster. A final blow is delivered to its head, rendering it completely dead. It falls and starts to sizzle and boil. Its body starts to decay fast. Then a horrible stench accompanies it unfortunately while Angela gives a brief look of disgust. She then transforms back to her regular clothes and then runs just as the police sirens are heard.

We cut back to Dana, who just got back to her small and dilapidated apartment. She quietly opens up the door to her younger sister’s bedroom. There we find Michelle (12 years old) sound asleep. Dana has a look of guilt while her head rests next to the door, but only for a short moment.

It’s morning. We see Michelle’s room, now brightly lit by the sun. Her room is small but her possessions are adorn across her room, including a teddy bear. Michelle like Dana has a tan complexion, brown hair but with parted bangs and upturned peacock green eyes. She also has small gold earrings. She’s dressed in pajamas and hanging on the wall is her junior high school uniform, which she just enrolled in.

She gets up to wake Dana up, who is dressed in a loose tank top . Michelle tries to wake her up. Her boobs jiggle while being shaken by her sister. “Ya ya, I’m up. Yeesh” Dana exclaims. We see their kitchen, it is narrow with a small table. Both begin to have breakfast. Dana has a piece of toast with some instant coffee, Michelle has some less than healthy cereal with marshmallows in it with a cartoon genie on the box. The maze on the back of the box has already been solved. 

A small black & white TV sits on a counter from where they’re sitting. They turn it on and a poorly animated cartoon about alien robots plays. Standing while eating, Dana tells Michelle while munching on her toast “Change dat crap, will ya?” She changes to the news, “Is this better?” Michelle says. 

“The top story, last night a couple were slain horribly. The murder so grizzly it can’t be described on national television.” The news reporter says. “Gee, why you wanna watch this Dana?” Michelle exclaims while turning her head to Dana. The news reporter continues “But some eyewitnesses describe seeing what they called a monster and a tall woman with long red hair fighting it.”

“Da fuck!?” Dana whispers but still loud enough for Michelle to hear, retorting with “Hey, lay off the cursing”. Puzzled, Dana wonders if that was Angela the news described. But she can’t worry about that just right now, it’s 8:15AM and has to get Michelle off to her school. “C’mon, ya gonna be fucking late” Dana goes. “Hey, what did I just say about cursing?” Michelle says while brushing her teeth and quickly brushing her hair then putting on her backpack. The backpack reads “SUNNY-SPORTS” which that brand is all the rage at her school. 

Walking down the street, Hope City Junior High is about four blocks away. Trash, mostly newspapers adorn the sidewalk. Dana is wearing her pink fuzzy jacket, a white and very tight tank top with matching miniskirt. Michelle is now wearing her school uniform. She begins to converse with Dana. “That was your friend Angela they were talking about on the news? Wasn’t it.” Caught off guard by the comment, “Wa… whatcha talking bout?” A bit nervously Dana thinks to herself “Damn brat is too smart for her own good.” 

They arrive at the school. It’s a fairly good school despite the less than stellar neighborhood. Everyone is wearing school uniforms. White button shirts and black pants for the boys, white shirts with green jumper skirts for the girls. Dana and Michelle wave bye to each other. Michelle runs off into the distance to the school door to join her school mates. Dana breathes a small sigh of relief.

Angela pulls up next to Dana on her motorcycle. Putting the kickstand down and turning it off, Angela turns to Dana and says “You really care for her, don’t you?” Quickly, Dana responds “Where were ya last night?” At first Angela pretends to look confused. “What do you mean? I went home after we said goodbye.” Angela says. “Don’t bullshit me, I heard something on da news this morning about last night. Something about a tall woman with long red hair, fighting something like a monster.” 

Angela calmly says “There’s lots of tall woman with long red hair, what makes you think it was me?” Besides, I heard about too. That’s some scary shit. And that poor couple. Yeah, I hope they catch the murdering bastard.” Dana quickly changes the topic. “So um… ya I care for her, cuz I’m all she has. Ever since my fucking dad decided to kill himself and ma took to drugs to cope with it, I don’t want the authorities to take her away. She’s smart, I don’t want her go where I’ve been.”

“Well I’m gonna go home now, kay?” Dana waves as Angela drives away saying “I’ll see you later too.” Dana walks back home, deep in thought with a bit of a worried expression. Halfway home, she hears a sound emanating from a nearby tree. She turns her head but then ignores it and keeps on walking. 

The time is 9:15AM. A closer look at the tree shows glowing red eyes. We see something quickly jump out of the tree, too fast to seen. Dana turns her head again, her eyes are in focus. The monster reveals itself, similar to the previous one but with narrower eyes, elongated limbs, bigger upper fangs but no lower fangs and very long and sharp claws. 

Dana runs screaming. The monster is very fast, which tears off her fuzzy jacket. It begins to pin her down, starting to drool profusely. She winces then screams again, which echos through the air.

But just when she seems to be doomed, we see Angela, viewed from below as she leaps into the air with the sun behind her, delivering a kick to the monster, kicking it aside. Extending her hand as to bring Dana back on her feet, “Are you okay?” Angela asks. Dana barely able to get it together, “Ya.” 

But the monster strikes, hitting Angela and knocking her to a sidewalk tree. Then the monster starts running fast, striking the tree she just was on with splinters flying, but she moves quickly enough to not be hit but leave a large enough claw marks on the tree trunk. Angela now has a scornful look on her face.

She gets up and does a karate chop swipe with a red beam to the monster’s arm, severing it up to the upper point. The arm goes flying in the air with blood coming out of it. The monster clenches where it was struck but blood still drips from the wound. Just before Angela can give another attack, the monster jumps away very fast. The severed arm, lying on the ground, begins to dissolve and decay.

She pulls up Dana by her arms, who is now startled. Dana looks to the left and right briefly to make sure the monster’s gone. She then stares at Angela, asking “What the hell are ya wearing?” 

END OF CHAPTER 1.

Chapter 2- Innocence shattered. 

While Angela is still in her armor, Dana stands there, still bewildered. Angela changes back into to her regular civilian clothes. Dana being frightened by what just happened, runs off saying “I don’t know ya.” Angela pleads for her to come back but she’s already gone. Angela looks to where the arm of the monster was, holding her nose due to the rapid decomposition. “Ugh, it smells worse than a gas station bathroom” she utters. “Aw damn it. How am I going to tell Dana about all this?” thinking to herself. 

The time now is 10:00AM. We’re back at the Junior High school where we see Michelle along with her friend Alex (12 years old) in a classroom. Despite the masculine sounding name, Alex is a girl but frankly, she’s more like if you took the brain of a boy that age and put it in a girl’s body (which is how Michelle would describe her). She has a medium dark complexion, dark brown upturned eyes and very short brown hair with parted bangs. She is very energetic and happy to see Michelle.

“Hey what’s new ya” Alex says. “Eh, nothing much, my sister is just being her self as usual.” Michelle says. Alex loudly exclaiming “Ohhhhhhh right, ya sis with the big tits. God, she sure lucked out there. Bet she’s got a ton of guys lined up just ready to stick their…” “SSSSHHHH! Not so loud, okay?” Michelle says with her pointed finger at her mouth before Alex could say something so lewd. Just then class begins and the girls take to their seats.

We’re back to Dana, who is a bit exhausted by all that what just happened. “Maybe I shouldn’t have ran off without Angela giving an explanation. Ah that thing gone and fucked up my jacket too, and it was my fav to.” she says to herself. She then begins to head back home.

At her apartment, she decides to clean the dirt off her, then proceeds to give herself a shower. We see her beautiful ample and gorgeous large breasts with burgundy colored nipples. Her butt is nice and round. Not big but most certainly well developed for her age. She closes her eyes as she washes her long hair.

She begins to hear a voice. It’s soft and low at first but definitely feminine in tone. 

“I want you too.” Dana’s eyes open fast. The voice stops. She gets out of the shower, puts a towel around her body and another towel to dry her hair. She uses the hair dryer. When done, she hears it again. It’s a bit louder than before “Angela’s your friend, she did nothing wrong.”

“Fucking hell?” Dana boldly exclaims. “Am I going nuts here?” while looking at her bathroom mirror and her hands on her head tightly. The voice states that “No, I assure this is really happening. Look, over there.” 

Dana sees a green hairband where one wasn’t there before, just like the one Angela has. “See, your friend has one just like that. Put it on, and you’ll have a great power.” Dana feels a bit confused… “Well, I’m not really into hairbands, They make my scalp itch like fucking mad.” The voice responses “Hmn, oh right, I see you prefer a scrunchie. I can fix that”.

The head band glows brightly, only to change into a metal scrunchie. “Try it on now.” the voice goes. Dana picks it up and puts it on her hair in her usual ponytail style. “Well at least it’s me now…..wait who are ya, how do ya know Angela too?” Dana says as we get a full view of her body. “I can’t reveal that at the moment. Just remember when you’re in danger, press the button on top on scrunchie.” the voice says. 

Dana heads back to outside, now wearing a pink tank top and matching pink mini skirt.“What was that all about? What’s this got to do with Angela?” she mutters to herself while shaking her head back and forth in disbelief. 

Later on she picks up Michelle up from school. Michelle who is sensing that Dana is acting a bit odd, asks her what’s wrong. Dana turns her head fast to Michelle and then says she’s not in the mood to talk about it then tells her to zip it. They don’t say a word for the rest of the way home. Later in the day, Dana gets ready for bed, putting the metal scrunchie by her night stand but otherwise doesn’t bother to change her clothes, she’s just too exhausted from the strange events of the day.

9:00AM Dana (now wearing the metal scrunchie) who after taking Michelle to school, she decides to take a walk near a small wooded area, one of the only area’s in the city with some greenery. Since it’s the middle of September, the leaves are still green. While walking, she thinks maybe she needs to go talk to Angela, but at the same time, finding all this confusing. 

Dana encounters the monster. It’s the same one from yesterday but now is missing its left arm. Dana yells “Ah fuck not again!” and runs, reaching the edge of the park. While running her breasts begin to jiggle up and down since she’s not wearing a bra. She keeps going but stops since it’s a street and there’s rush hour traffic.

Trying to catch her breath, she attempts to run back but then is ambushed by the monster. Just as the ugly thing is ready to attack, a few red beams hit it on the face. “Angela!” Dana happily cries out. “So, ready for round two?” Angela confidently asks with her hands on her hips. The monster lunges forward now ready to attack Angela. She tries to attack as well but the monster counterattacks, now sprouting tentacles from its previously severed arm. It uses them to bind Angela tightly.

Angela yells out “Dana, use your scruchie. Now!” Dana turns “Wha….what. Ya know? How ya know about dat?” Angela now totally unable to move and in pain yells “NO TIME TO EXPLAIN DAMN IT!”

Dana proceed to press the button on top of the scrunchie. It begins to light up, surrounding her in a blinding bright light and like when Angela transforms, is totally nude. Then armor pieces appear and attach themselves to Dana. Unlike Angela’s, her colors are green and silver. 

“I’m in this armor too?” Dana says once finished changing to her armor. The monster begins to shoot red beams of light towards her, all while still holding Angela. Dana is able to dodge the lasers quickly. She then proceeds to jump up and then kicks the monster right in it back, dropping Angela. The monster’s attention is now focused on Dana, given just enough time for Angela to attack.

Angela forms a blade made out of red energy, flinging it to the monster. It is sliced in two vertically. The two halves then fall to the ground and begin rapidly decaying. Angela is relieved that Dana is safe.

Dana responds “Lemme guess, ya heard a strange voice in ya head and then they gave ya that shiny shit ya wearing too?” Angela with a small open smile says “Yeah, something like that. Look I’m sorry you got dragged into this. C’mon, I’ll tell you along the way what happened.”

1:00PM We’re now in a completely different area of the city, at the suburbs. Unlike the urban area of Hope City, it’s not nearly as dilapidated. We focus on a high school, just like any high school you may have gone to. The banner outside says “Go Go Samurai Warriors!” with a samurai as its mascot. We see inside, the class bell rings and the students being to walk out into the hallway. It gets crowded very fast.

One student in particular, she may as well be the school’s idol. She’s most certainly one of the most beautiful and popular girls in there. Her name is Valerie (17). Her body is what many her age only dream to have. Her hair is wavy golden blonde color of medium length with curly mall bangs. Has large downturned blue eyes with long lashes. A fair complexion with some freckles by her nose. She’s thin (but not skinny), has large perky breasts the male students just drool for. She’s wearing a teal T-shirt, tight blue jeans and is also wearing teal colored earrings as well.

She walks by her friend Tiffany (also 17 and has a similar body though nowhere as busty). Has brown hair with parted bangs that reach her cheeks. The back is medium length and straight. Her eyes are sharp but a bit downward as if she was sleepy. Has multiple piercings on her ears. Wearing a white loose grey T-shirt with a white hoodie jacket along with baggy jeans. Both are wearing their backpacks. 

“Hey, ya ready for tonight? It’s gonna be the best shit you’ve ever seen.” Tiffany enthusiastic exclaims. Valerie smiles and replies “Oh yeah you bet. It’ll be so much fun. Can’t wait.” Tiffany says “Ya my parents are gonna be out for the night, so they said a small party is fine. Just a few of my friends and you. Besides it’ll be our last year at this place, so gotta celebrate ya know.” Valerie looks to Tiffany and says “Just as long as I’m back by 11 o’clock because you know my mom, it being school night and all.”

7:30PM Valerie gets ready for the party. Her room is adorn with things you’d find in nearly any girl her age. Photos of her throughout her childhood to where she is now are hung up, along with a photo of her and Tiffany. Looking at her mirror, she brushes her hair, applies a bit of makeup but not overdone. Some lip gloss too. All ready for Tiffany’s party, she is wearing a teal T-Shirt with a gold heart (showing her navel) and jean shorts. 

We then hear Valerie’s mom call to her “Sweetie, where you going tonight?” Valerie turns her head to call out “I told you, Tiffany’s party. I’ll be back by 11, I promise.” Her mom then says “Well ok, you did all your homework I hope, right?” “Yes yes,” Valerie says in a hurry. “ Ok, just remember it’s a school night now so 11 on the nose.” her mom says. Valerie walks out of her room and reinsures and states “Love you mom” and give a quick kiss and hug before leaving though her mom is out of focus.

It’s 7:50PM, just down two blocks is Tiffany’s home. It’s a nice middle class home. Valerie rings the door bell. Tiffany opens the door. Dressed in an oversized T-shirt that reveals a pierced navel and black baggy pants she says “Oh hey Val, glad ya came.” Valerie first says “Hey. You know I wouldn’t miss this for the world.” giving her a hug quickly but then notices the party is much bigger than she imagined. There’s at least 30 other teenagers in the living room and kitchen. Valerie talks softly to Tiffany “Tiff you call this small, and why are there guys here?” 

“Ah ya know, I invite one, they bring two of their friends, it’s all good.” Valerie mentally tries to reinsure herself that everything will be fine and quickly shakes her head up and down and smiles to show she’s in good spirits. “Let’s get started then.” she says enthusiastically. 

Tiffany walks to the large stereo system and puts in a CD. Loud freestyle music begins to play. Everyone goes “YEAH WOOOOOO!” in unison. The song that plays is one that while several years old at the time, still resonates with the youth of the area, almost an unofficial anthem to the neighborhood. Some of the party goers begin to dance, while others just bob their heads up and down like brainless lemmings.

We see a table, on it are some bowls with snacks including chips (potato, tortilla and some dip for both), hard pretzels and cheese puffs. In the center is a large punch bowl, and it in fruit punch mixed with vodka. Tiffany brings Valerie to the table. “Look Val, didn’t tell ya I got da good shit here, not that piss water some people call beer.” Valerie’s a bit shocked saying “ I’m not gonna drink booze. I’m still 17 years old.” Tiffany responds in a sly manner. “Ah don’t be a fucking baby. I thought ya were chill. Ya still wanna be popular?” The word “popular” echoes in her mind for a moment. At first hesitant, then with a determined look on her face, she grabs a plastic cup and a ladle, pouring in some punch. 

Valerie takes a big gulp. “See what I tell ya!” Tiffany gleefully expresses while flapping her hand up and down. Valerie says “Yeah, your so right.” More music plays as the two begin to dance. They laugh while bumping each other’s hips together several times, letting their emotions let loose.

Valerie walks to the table, taking a second cup to drink. Tiffany goes “Oh ya going for more.” Valerie gulps it down. Her face begins to get a bit red, and smiles. She dances a bit faster moving her body to the music. Others in the background just laugh and cheer onward.

9:30PM The party continues. Valerie has had her third drink of the evening and is quite tipsy but still functional. Another party goer grabs a Polaroid camera, though we don’t see her face. 

The mystery girl starts to take pictures of everyone, many drunk off their faces and acting like complete morons. Valerie who herself is already a photogenic person, joins in to have pictures taken. But just then, an idea gets in her head, she lifts her top off to show off her bra. More photos are taken. 

Valerie who’s totally drunk at this point, one of the guys in the back yells, “take it off babe.” “Oh suuuuuuuuure” Valerie slurs her words. Unhooking her bra, she reveals her nice and round full breasts. Everyone is shocked and gleefully surprised. Someone in the back yells “Nice tits!” The girl with the Polaroid takes a photo.

Valerie pulls down her top, then lays down on the couch. Turning off the music, Tiffany concernedly states” Okay okay ya all had ya fun, time for all ya guys to go home, and Val, I think I need to get ya home too. Hey where’s that girl with the camera?” The girl she’s referring to has disappeared. The other party goers are annoyed to leave so early but Tiffany opens up the door to let them know they’re not wanted anymore and so agree to leave.

10:04PM Tiffany is walking Valerie to her home with her arm wrapped around for support. Valerie stumbles as she walks. She reaches her home. We see Valerie’s mom Donna (34 years old) but it’s dimly lit so we don’t get a good look at her. “You’re home an hour early. Isshe okay?” “Ya she just partied a bit too hardy, that’s all.” Valerie now becoming conscious and opening up her eyes, feels an overwhelming sickness in her stomach. “GOT TO GO NOW!” as Valerie rushes to the bathroom. She slams the door fast as we hear her vomiting into the toilet.

11:00PM back at Dana’s apartment, Angela who is sitting down, has just concluded in describing all she knows. She knows there are monsters and a mysterious voice gave her a transformation hairband to fight them but doesn’t know where they’re coming from. Dana learns that this all started back in August, when Angela was 19. 

Though highly skeptical since to her it sounds so ridiculous, Dana does her best and tries to believe all that Angela has described. We pan out and to the night sky. 

END OF CHAPTER 2.

7:45AM We see Valerie in her room. Lying on her bed, still in her clothes from last night, has disheveled hair from the tossing and turning. She did not have a good night sleep. Valerie gets up and goes downstairs. Mom isn’t around but left a note on the fridge door. “If you see this Val, just know I had to go early for work. Hope you feel better. Make sure to eat something. You were quite sick last night, Love Ma.” 

9:00AM Now we’re back at the Hope City High. Valerie walks in the hallway of the school. Someone taps her on the shoulder and says “Here, someone wanted to give this to you.” It’s an envelope. While she continues to walk, she opens it up. In it is the photo of her from the party last night with her top pulled up and her breasts exposed. On the photo, the word “SLUT” is written on marker. She immediately stops and is shocked. She cannot move.

12:00PM On her way to lunch, she meets up with Tiffany. She pulls Tiffany aside. “What’s this about?” Valerie bitterly expresses. “What’s what about?” Tiffany cluelessly says. “THIS!” Valerie angrily says while holding the Polaroid photo but covering the part that shows her top with her fingers.” Tiffany still clueless “What? I….I had nothing to do with that.” “Didn’t you take this photo, write the word SLUT here? I thought you were my friend.” Valerie gets a bit teary eyed at this point. “I swear I didn’t take that. Ya known me since Elementary school.” Tiffany trying her best to convince Valerie she didn’t do it. “All I can recall was someone with brown hair taking the picture. If not you then who? TELL ME NOW!” Valerie pleadingly demands. 

Both continue to walk down the hall to the cafeteria, Tiffany says “Look, I’ll level with ya. There WAS someone there at the party with a camera.” Valerie gets an angry look on her face. “WHO?” Valerie says, demanding to know while stomping her foot. “I don’t know. There were around thirty people at the house. My friends brought their friends. I didn’t know everyone there.” Tiffany says. Valerie starts to cry “Look, just leave me alone. Sorry I came there, sorry I was ever your friend.” Tiffany stops walking to say “Wait Val I…” and trying to get in another sentence but it’s too late, Valerie already has ran off.

9:10PM It’s raining outside. Valerie is in her bedroom, sitting by the edge of the bed, with her knees curled up to her head. She is visibly sad. She tries to think back to everything that she can remember from the party, but because she’s was drunk. there’s gaps in her memory. She then decides to take a bath, thinking it will make her feel better.

We see her bathroom and in her bathtub. Her hair is all wet. She’s more distraught than ever. She begins to sob while saying softly “I’m turning into my mother.” Several minutes past and she begins to hear a voice saying “I want you too!” Puzzled, Valerie states “I’m losing my mind.”

Valerie is wearing a towel wrapped around her body and another one on her head. She sees a headband, like the one Angela has but it’s now in teal color. “Wha…what’s this?” she says while confused. The voice says “Take it, put it on”. Standing there, she says “Is this some kind of prank? Is that you Tiffany? Why are you trying to make go crazy?” The voice says “I assure you, you’re not going crazy, and I’m not your friend Tiffany.” Valerie begins to get angry. “Jus…JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! SHE’S NOT MY FRIEND!” Valerie yells but then quickly covers her mouth because she doesn’t want mom to hear. She asks in a more softly tone if the voice she’s hearing is God, who tells her she is not.

Looking over, she begrudgingly begins to put the metal hairband on. “Well whoever put this here, it’s sure a nice color.” She notices that it’s unlike any hairband she’s ever seen. While looking at her mirror, she then notices the button on top of it. “Oh, what’s this button do?” curiously asks. “When you’re in danger, press it and a great miraculous power will be given to you.” the mysterious voice says. 

“Listen, there are others like you with same hairband, in the city. I need you to go there first thing tomorrow.” The voice says. “I can’t, I have school tomorrow. Other than being sick, I’ve never skipped a day.” Valerie goes on a rant about. After that the voice subsides and thus she yawns. Being tired from the day, she gets ready to sleep. She puts on short sleeve pajamas and pants. Puts the metal hairband back where it was and goes to sleep.

It’s now 7:30AM and the sky is cloudy grey. Valerie gets up, puts the hairband on and eats a bit of breakfast (half a glass of milk and a piece of toast with butter and strawberry jam). Mom is out to work already. Feeling an odd compulsion to skip school and go to the city, she thinks while sitting and eating “What I’m I even doing? Where am I going?” Once more she here’s the voice and tells her the address of where she has to go and to await further instructions. She quickly scribbles on a piece of paper the address she is about to go and heads out the door. 

8:10AM, she is at the train station. It’s a bit dirty but not completely dilapidated. She thinks how nuts this all is but is still compelled to do it. She a bit nervous as she’s never done anything like this.

8:20AM After waiting ten minutes the train finally arrives. Taking a big breath, she boards it. Right now there’s only a few commuters, mostly ready for their day of work. 8:27AM More people begin to board. By 8:40AM, the train is packed. She does her best to mind her own business. 

It is now 9:40AM and has finally reached her location. The station she arrives at is quite filthy. Graffiti is on the walls. It’s smells like stale urine. There’s trash everywhere. The light is dim and dingy. Clearly out of her element, she walks around, slowly, and bit scared. She bumps into someone, a gross homeless man and says “Hey girlie, wanna see something cool?” She runs the other way screaming.

Huffing while running, she stops to catch her breath, one hand on her thigh, the other grabbing her chest. She then looks up to a part of the station that’s dark, she sees glowing red eyes. It gets closer, revealing to be another monster. This one is similar to the last one but has brown skin, large fangs on its upper mouth that point forward and none on the lower mouth. Long limbs and its claws on its hands are quite long. She begins to scream loudly and run.

She runs to the station’s exit just in time to escape the monster. She looks around to see where she is at. The city is dirty, in disrepair, garbage lines the streets. The homeless are lying on the ground. She’s heard stories about how scary the city is but never really traveled there on her own. She cautiously walks around. She then takes out the piece of paper with the address. 

After a bit of walking, she reaches an area that’s open. There’s some trees with apartment buildings in the background. She’s surprised on just how unfit athletically she is even though she plays volleyball at her school. 

Suddenly the monster from before approaches her from behind. She turns her head and screams once more. She runs, barely a short distance before the monster leaps up into the air, only to ambush her from the front. She tries to back away but trips. Laying in the ground, she slowly backs away. Remembering how the voice told her to press the button on her headband, whenever she was in danger. She proceeds to do so.

Just as with Angela and Dana, she begins to envelopes in a bright, blinding light. The monster tries to shield its eyes. Valerie is now fully nude, her body as stated earlier is one many would only dream to have. Her breasts are round and perky with pink areola and nipples, her waist tiny, her butt round and tight, arms and thighs are dainty but not skinny. Armor pieces appear and attached themselves to her. Once fully transformed, we look up to see her now in armor, which is teal and silver. 

“Wh….wha.. how?” Barely able to get a complete sentence out before the monster tries to once again attack her. Unlike Dana whose instinct is to fight when challenged, she immediately runs. It’s a very feminine sort of gait with her arms halfway out. She eventually stops, only to realize how fast she just ran, with the monster now in the distance. Trying to catch her breath, all the while saying “I’ve never been able run that fast before. What’s going on?” The monster runs fast towards her, arms outstretched ready to strike poor Valerie, who once more screams with tears in her eyes.

Both flipping in the air and deliver a kick in unison to the monster, we see Angela and Dana, who are both transformed into their armor. Then they land to the ground. “Leave her alone!” Angela says while pointing her finger to the monster. “Hey if ya wanna fuck with someone, fuck with us!” Dana says while her hands are on her hips.

The monster turns its head and hisses. Then it begins to try and swipe multiple times at Angela and Dana. Valerie just stands there paralyzed, totally unable to process what she’s witnessing. It gets a good swipe at Dana, who is knocked down to the ground. “Dana! Ah you’re gonna get it!” Angela exclaims fiercely.

Angela puts her hands to the center of her belt where the gem orb is, it begins to glow bright red to which she then holds on to the energy and then with both arms like she’s about to throw a ball, tosses it at the monster. It hits it, making it explode into hundreds of pieces.

Dana gets up and states she’s fine. We then see Angela and Dana return to their civilian clothes, then Valerie, who after returning to her regular clothes begins to faint. The other two run to her to caress her. “Ah so this is the one the voice told us about. Pretty young thing.” Angela says. Valerie begins opening up her eyes, she sees the other two. “Wakey wakey sleeping blondie” Dana says. “You… saved me.” Valerie says with a small smile on her face.

END OF CHAPTER 3.

Start writing your chapter here...

11:45AM We see all three girls. Angela’s wearing a tight red T-shirt and Dana’s wearing a black and white striped tube top. Though she’s exhausted, Valerie gets up. We look up at the sky. It’s about to rain once more. “Ah, it’s going to rain soon, we better get her to your place. She’s needs to know what this is all about.” Angela says. Dana agrees. 

It’s several blocks to walk back to Dana’s apartment. Valerie looks at both Angela and Dana, noticing at how well endowed and scantily clad they are. “Are you two like strippers, pornstars, or even (whispering) prostitutes?” Valerie asks while blushing. Angela laughs “Ahahaha! No.” Dana interjects “But we are pole dancers, at a club not to far from here. But I think ya a bit too young for that line of work. What are ya, 16?” Valerie responds with “17, I’m 17 years old.”

Continuing onward while walking, Valerie say “Wait, I didn’t get your names. I’m Valerie.” Wanting to know theirs, the two others introduce themselves saying “I’m Angela, and this is Dana. Oh look we’re here now.” Valerie notices the less than stellar look of the apartment but goes in anyway. “Welcome to Château le shit show.” Dana remarks to Valerie. A large rat walks by Valerie’s feet. She screams “AHHHHHH!” like any dainty teen girl probably would. “Ya we get those from time to time.” Dana replied.

The three all walk up the flight of steps. Which each step, an audible creaking noise is heard. They reach to where Dana and her sister live, opening the door. There in the kitchen, Dana is trying her best to be polite, “Sit sit.” she goes. Valerie sits on a chair. “I’m ok but I’m a bit hungry.” Valerie says. Dana looks around and then says “Ah let’s see what we got. Um some boxed sugar frosted pastries, some stale potato chips, some old pizza, some (sniffs an old carton of week old Lo mein she just pulled from her refrigerator and makes a disgusted face) Ya, I don’t think ya want that.”

She looks around the kitchen “Oh, there’s some soup. Chicken noodle okay with ya?” Valerie shake her head up and down in agreement. While opening up the can, Dana says “Ya my little sister loves this stuff.” Valerie replies a bit enthusiastically “Oh you got a sister? I so wish I had one. How old is she?” Dana counter responds. “She’s 12 and nah trust me, ya don’t. She just got into the local junior high school here and she acts like a bit of a know it all.” The soup is done and pours it in a bowl for Valerie to eat.

Dana turns on the radio but not too loudly. Some freestyle music plays. It’s a song about a guy cheating on his girl, about a love that shall never be. Valerie’s eyes widen “Oh I love this song. I even have their album too.”

Angela turns off the radio since she wants to get to the important matters. She gets closer to Valerie “So, I’m just going to assume you heard a woman’s voice in your head too” Valerie drops the soup spoon into the bowl. “You…. you know.” Angela replying “Yes, and I need to tell you. We all here have some sort of power. I don’t know if it’s God, or angels gave me, Dana and now you this ability but apparently it’s to fight off these monsters that have appeared in the city.”

“About that monster, what was it? Oh it was so horrible. Last night I heard a voice and it gave me this hairband, told me to go here and then I see that… thing. Wait? You said monsters? As in there’s more than just one? Oh what’s going on? I don’t understand any of this.” Valerie now getting distraught. “We’re still figuring all this out for ourselves.” Angela says.

“Oh shit! It’s almost 2:30PM, I gotta pick up Michelle from school.” The three walk outside, still discussing the situation. The rain has finally stopped, still cloudy but the sun peaks a bit through. “So that armor is to fight the monsters?” Valerie asks. “Yep and just between you and me, it’s kinda cool.” Angela whispers in Valerie’s ear. “Getting to punch and kick monsters, it’s like that new TV show that just aired, the one with the goofy costumes and bad special effects. Ah it’s in the tip of my tongue.” Angela says while getting a bit more enthusiastic than she should.

“I…I can’t fight monsters, I have a school life, I have…. oh my God. Mom must be so worried about me. I don’t even live here. I’m from the suburban area of Hope city. I….I gotta go. I’m sorry.” Valerie saying while running off. “Wait Valerie, come back.” Angela says. “Wait, I’ll go after her.” Dana says. Angela replying “But, your sister.” Dana reply’s with “I’m a bit faster, also I know the area better. You pick up my sister from school for me, alright? She knows you.” Angela shakes her head up and down. “Okay, you go get Valerie, your sister is safe with me.” Angela says.

3:00PM The school day is over for the junior high school students. Both Michelle and Alex walk out. We see Angela standing “Hey Michelle. Listen, there’s bit of a minor situation. Your sister had a bit of a small change of plans so I’m going to walk you home okay?” Angela tells her. “Is she okay?” Michelle getting a tiny bit worried. She’s been acting a bit weird lately. “Oh you know your sister, nothing can stop her. Come along now.” Angela reinsurers her. Michelle waves bye to Alex.

3:10 PM Back in the open park area, we see Valerie, a bit tired and sitting on a bench. She laments to herself on what to do. She thinks back to all the recent events that lead her here. Starting with her being happy in school, all the way to the fight with the monster.

Valerie picks up her head. Dana finally found her. “So, ya miss me already?” Dana says. “Oh hey Dana. Yeah, I’m okay,” Valerie says. Dana responds “Ya don’t look okay? C’mon tell me. What’s up with ya?” Dana then sits next to her on the park bench.

“Um, so just before I came here, I did something I shouldn’t have?” Valerie says. Dana gets a mild inquisitive look on her face and says “Oh? Go on?” Valerie continues, trying her best to not cry. “So, I was invited to my best friend Tiffany’s party. It’s our senior year together. So anyway she has this party, it was bigger than I’d thought it be. She gave me some punch with alcohol in it. I had several glasses, more than my body could handle. Then I started to get really drunk. I… I first lifted my bra, then… I showed everyone there my chest. Everyone saw my breasts.”

Continuing onward. “My friend walked me home, I got so sick that night, I barely got any sleep. The next day at school I got an envelope with a photo of me pulling up my shirt with the words SLUT written on it. I confronted Tiffany and asked if she took that picture but she denied it. I know in my heart she didn’t but then if not her then who?” Again, Valerie trying her absolute best to hold back her tears.

Dana begins to stand up. “Oh, finished ya baby princess?” Dana said with her fist by her hip. “What?” Valerie responds, confused at Dana’s comment. “Ya think ya got problems. So some bitch at that party took a picture of ya tits. Big fucking deal. Lemme tell you about my problems, okay. Dad went and killed himself when I was just ten fucking years old. My mom had to take care of me and my sister but it was too much for her and took to drugs. So now, I’m the only one to take care of Michelle (stomping her feet as she increasingly becoming angerer) BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WILL. I HATE THIS. I HATE HAVING TO BE THE ONE TO TAKE CARE OF HER, BUT IF NOT ME THEN WHO. I DON’T WANT DA FUCKING COPS TO TAKE HER AWAY FROM ME, SO I HAVE TO. I HAVE NO FUCKING CHOICE!”

Valerie just stares there with a blank look on her face, as if an anvil just hit her head. Tears begin to roll down her cheeks. She begins to cry. Dana has a look of regret and pity, she sits down in the bench next to Valerie once again and states “Loo….look I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it ya. It’s just my fucking life up until now, plus these damn monsters. Look let’s just head back home, alright.” Valerie agrees while wiping her tears away.

3:17PM We see inside Dana’s apartment, Angela is with Michelle, both are sitting down at the table while eating strawberry flavored sugar frosted pastries from a box. The door open. Both Dana and Valerie walk in. “Hey I’m back.” Dana says. Angela responds “Oh your back. I see you found her.” while munching on the not so healthy snack treat.

Valerie walks further in responding “Hey girls, I’m sorry I ran off. It was really stupid of me.” She gets a look at Michelle, her eyes begin to widen and now has a big open smile. “OH MY!” she happily exclaims with one hand on her cheek. “Is that your sister?” walking over to Michelle, bending over with one hand on her knee, the other hand getting to pat her head. “You’re Michelle, right? You look so adorable. Oh and you’re in a school uniform too. That’s so cool! My school never had those, we just wore whatever.” Valerie continues going on and on without barely taking in a breath.

“Is this girl for real?” Michelle responds while pointing at her. “Oh this is Valerie.” Dana introducing Valerie to Michelle. “Oh, is she a waitress too?” Michelle also says. “Actually aren’t you and Angela pole dan..” just before she can finish her sentence, Dana covers Valerie mouth. “SHHHHHH!, Listen ya, she doesn’t know that. She thinks we’re waitresses” Angela then interjects “Yeah, it’s just a little lie. We feel she’s too young to know what we really do.” Dana counter responds “So don’t ya say anything, got it?” Valerie with Dana’s hand still covering her mouth shakes her head up and down while in agreement. “Oh and don’t say anything about our powers either, okay?” Angela says as well.

END OF CHAPTER 4.

5:30PM Angela, Dana and Valerie are in the living room, while Michelle is in her bedroom room doing her homework. They are all in Dana’s apartment. Valerie just remembered “I need to get back home or mom’s gonna have a field day with me.” Angela responds with “Well I don’t think you want to go home at this hour. Besides the rush hour commute, that’s when all the creepers start to come out.” Angela says while moving her fingers around to be scary. “Woohooooooooo” she goes while making a sounds like a ghost.

Valerie says “Yeah now that you mention it, when I arrived at the station, there was some homeless guy that bumped into me and wanted to show his well… (speaks in a lower tone as if embarrassed) well you know.” 

Angela being to laugh loudly. “HAHAHA oh you met Willy Wilson as we call him. Nah trust us he’s harmless. Just ignore him and he’ll walk away.” Now with her hand on her cheek. “Though it’s kinda sad, I think he was a stock broker but fell on hard times. This economy hasn’t been the best lately you know.

Angela with her finger pointed up. “Wait, call your mom and tell her you’re staying here.” Dana with her arms crossed. “Huh? Here? Ya fucking serious?” Angela responses “It’s just for the night. C’mon, you don’t want the little thing to get hurt, especially at this hour. Please?” Dana responds “Well… fine. Here, call ya ma. Ya know ya number?” Dana hands Valerie a corded phone. “Yeah, thanks. I promise I won’t be a bother.” 

Valerie begins to call her home. “Hi, mom. Listen I’m sorry I’m not going to be around. I’m at a friends house and will be staying the night. Don’t worry, it’s not another big party or anything.” Her mom agrees but only if she comes back tomorrow. “I love you mom.” Valerie says and then hangs up the phone.

“Okay then it’s settled, let’s get some pizza, some soda. We’ll make this kinda like a slumber party.” Angela exclaims. “Ya and I promise no booze.” Dana says, who then calls for some pizza. “Pepperoni okay Val?” Valerie responds “Veggies please, I don’t want to get fat.” Dana counter responds “Half and half then.” 

6:00PM it’s getting dark. The pizza delivery comes. One large pizza, and a bottle of soda are what Dana ordered. They begin to eat at the table. “So, whatcha think?” Dana asks. Valerie responds “Well, it’s okay I guess but it’s not as good as the pizza at my area. Now that’s pizza. It’s the oldest pizza place in the neighborhood, possibly the oldest place in the neighborhood alone.” Dana shrugs while about to take a bite and says “Pizza is pizza.”

6:28PM “Ah that was the stuff. Time to burn it off.” Dana says and then turns on the radio where some Freestyle music plays. Dana and Valerie begin to dance. “Wow, you sure can dance.” Valerie remarks. “Ya it’s good way to stay in shape, though too bad I can’t sing for shit.” Dana says. “Oh singing, I can sing. I was a choir girl when I was a little. But what I really want to be is a pop star.” Valerie happily says. “Ah really? That’s actually kinda cool!” Dana says.

We see Michelle in her room, trying in vain to complete the rest of her homework. The music is so loud, she can hear it through her room since the walls are thin. “Ugh” she mutters. She puts a pillow on her head as a vain attempt to shut it out.

8:30PM the girls are still talking. Angela asks Valerie in a jokingly sly manner. “So, you got a boyfriend?” Beginning to blush while smiling “N… no. I mean I talk with some guys at school but I haven’t been with anyone yet. Most of my friends are girls and Tiffany is or was my best friend. You know, now that think of it, there’s this one girl. Very plain, a bit on chubby side, wears glasses, doesn’t look like she’s into fashion much. She stares at me and tries to says hi to me from time to time though I can’t remember her name.”

Angela boastingly laughs, “Ah hahaha. Oh darling, you got a lot of growing up still.” Confused, Valerie asks “What do you mean?” Dana responds “I think this girl likes ya… in that sorta way.” Valerie while waving her hands says “What way? Oh, you mean… I’m not like that… I’m not into girls.” The three continue to conversation into the evening. 

10:35PM Angela says “Listen, it’s getting late, I gotta get back to my place, okay. I’ll see you both in the morning.” The other two girls say goodbye. Angela leaves.

11:30PM Everyone is sound asleep. Dana and Michelle are in their rooms while Valerie is on a slightly beat up looking couch. She is wearing a spare T-shirt Dana gave her. It reads “The Dysfunctionals”, a popular cartoon sitcom that’s been airing for a couple of years now.

1:00PM We’re at an alleyway that leads to a dead-end. We see another monster. The skin is beige and resembles the others but has its mouth with fangs on both sides and red glowing eyes. It’s about to strike a young woman. “Hey, fuck face. Yeah you, over here.” Angela says, now in her armor. The monster turns its head. It begins to run towards Angela. A long tongue flys out of the monster’s mouth. Angela leaps spinning in the air at a fast speed, she lands to the other side. She’s about to do an energy attack from her orb at the center of her belt like the last time. The monster however then lunges its long tongue at Angela, wrapping it around both her arms. She struggles to break free her lower arms alas but it’s no use. She then turns her head to the young woman is sitting in the ground. “Run, now damn it!” Angela demands. The young woman does so, getting away.

Just as we think Angela is doomed, we see Dana from behind, now clad in armor as well. “Dana!” Angela exclaims, happily seeing her. Dana runs to the monster. It lets go of Angela’s arms and leaps to air, disappearing into the night sky. “Ah shit, it got away” Dana exclaims. “Don’t worry, it’ll appear again I’m sure if it. Hey how did you know I’d be here?” Dana responds “I dunno, I just got this feeling somehow. I knew that you were in danger so I had to help.” Angela asks “What about Valerie?” Dana replies “She’s still asleep. Guess she didn’t sense you. Weird. Anyway let’s go back home. We need to be ready in case it attacks again.” Angela confidently says “Yeah and when it does, we’ll be ready.”

9:00AM It’s morning now. Valerie slowly opens her eyes as the light peaks in the room. “Oh, you girls are up already?” she says while yawning. “Ya, we didn’t want to wake ya, ya really looked just like a sleeping princess.” Dana remarks who is already dressed and in her pink tube top with matching pink skirt. “You have anything to eat?” Valerie asks while sitting at the table. Dana puts a box of that not so healthy marshmallow cereal in front of her face. “Knock ya self out girl.” Dana says. “Oh, I remember this. Yeah I haven’t had this stuff in years. I wonder if that thief will ever find that genie’s cereal treasure.” Valerie childishly says. 

“Well I would have given ya a strawberry sugar frosted pastry but SOMEONE had to eat the last one.” Dana stating while looking annoyed at Angela. Angela responds back. “What? But they’re SO good. Want me to buy another box? Exasperated, Dana says “Eh, just forget it.” Valerie asks where Michelle is? Dana responds “She and her tomboyish friend went out for the day. She’ll be back later.”

12:15PM We see both Michelle and Alex walking on the sidewalk, each holding a hot dog and a drink. Michelle is wearing a green zip up hoodie with a white shirt and green pants. Alex is wearing a backwards hat, red tank top that reads “FREESTYLE Hi-NRG”, jean daisy dukes and sneakers. “Hey who was that tall redhead I saw yesterday that picked up from school? Holy shit she is HOT! And those tits, they’re like huge melons yo.” 

Michelle annoyingly responds “That’s my sister’s friend Angela. They work as waitresses for some restaurant, though I’m not sure which.” Alex with enthusiasm says “Oh, wherever it is, I wanna go there. She must look so sexy in a waitress uniform.” They continue walking until they reach their destination. Alex quickly woofs down the rest of her hot dog and sips the rest of her drink as fast as she can.

“Ok we’re here now.” Alex says. They are at the local arcade. It’s quite big and since it’s the weekend, it’s also very crowded despite being just past noon. Most of the patrons are from early adolescence to young adult. There’s a lot of noise. It’s filled lots of arcade games. Some are considered classics, while others are the latest ones. Alex who’s pulling Michelle’s arm, walks to the line leading to one of the most popular ones at the place.

When it’s finally their turn to play, we get a good look at the arcade cabinet. The game is called “MURDER MASTER”, a one on one fighting game. It uses the latest in arcade gaming graphics and technology. The design aesthetic is overly foreign looking though no where remotely is it historically accurate. It has become controversial due to its graphic and realistic looking violence. 

Alex puts in a quarter. The game begins and she selects her character. Then she begins to play. The game uses a complex set of moves to pull of attacks. Lots of blood splays as the character sprites fight. She defeats the opponent when the screen flashes “KILL THEM NOW!”. Alex performs an even more complex set of moves. Her character proceeds to rip the skin of its opponent and then proceeds to eat it, leaving its body completely bare as it falls down. “Ahahahaha! Did ya see dat shit? Oh it’s so fucking cool!” Alex says while pointing at the screen. Michelle pulls her head back a bit in total disgust and remarks “You really must have been a boy in another lifetime.” Alex laughs some more as she continues to play. We pan back out of the arcade.

We then see a tree in the park. A closer look at the leaves reveals not just one set of eyes, but another set too. Both are glowing red. Both are filled with an intense evil aura.

END OF CHAPTER 5.

2:00PM Angela, Dana and Valerie all walk outside. They head to the park once more while conversing. “I really think it’s time I head home now. I promised mom I would. Plus, I really should prepare for Monday since I already missed a day of school.” Valerie states. 

Dana giving a look of utter arrogance while rolling her eyes upward. “Ugh, I fucking hated school. It’s the worse, especially high school. All that damn school work I was given. The kids were either such braindead morons or snobs. Like seriously. Then there were my teachers who were such bitches and douchebags. Fuck it, I didn’t even bother to finish the 12th grade.”Valerie immediately interjects in a cheery tone “What? No, high school is great. I have so many friends there. Nearly all teachers are so nice to me. It’s so much fun!”

“Pfft, ya whatever Val. They’re probably only nice to ya for being a pretty blonde gal.” Dana responds in an intense snark like tone of voice. The three continue to walk while bantering until they reach the park. “Ah, it wasn’t all bad, sure most of the guys sure were after me. Must be this hot sexy body I had, even back then. I did develop quite early after all. Of course I never gave them the damn time of day.” Angela says. 

The three sit down on the park bench. “I’m just glad you girls took me in yesterday. Especially you Dana. You really are nice.” Valerie says happily. “Ya, like I actually give a fuck. Lookie, I didn’t want ya to be hurt, it’s dangerous here, that’s all. Not like I actually care for ya.” Dana says trying her absolute best to not show she actually does care deep down.

“Well I gotta go, my mom must really be missing me by now.” Valerie states. “Well then, you must really love your mom, don’t you?” Angela says while putting her arm around Valerie’s shoulder. “Yeah, I do. See, she had me early on though. About the same age I am now. Now she works hard at her job. My dad, my real dad, I never really knew but my step father is really nice and cares for me too, but he’s also been busy with tour duty as he’s in the military. Hey wait, before I go, can I have you and Dana’s phone numbers?” Valerie asks. Angela pulls a piece of paper from her jacket. Here. “We figured you’d want our numbers so we wrote out both before we left. Sorry I don’t have a pen for you to write yours down so when you come home, call either of us and give us your number. Ok?” Angela says. “Oh cool, thanks. I will.” Valerie says while happy to get their numbers.

Valerie then stands up and turns around looking at both Angela and Dana. “Ok this is it, see you another time.” she says while waving bye. Just as she’s about to take another step, a monster appears in front of her. It was the same one from last night that Angela and Dana fought but weren’t successful in killing. 

Valerie screams loudly in sheer and utter terror “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Angela , decries “It’s you!” Dana says “Ya ready to get punched in nuts ya fucker?” Angela interjects “I don’t think it has nuts.” Dana annoyed yells out “JUST FUCKING CHANGE DAMN IT!” The two transform. Dana charges first. “Wait Dana” Angela interjects but the monster already strikes Dana with its long tongue, knocking her back.

Angela attempts to do a flying kick but the monster dodges it. Meanwhile sitting on the ground Dana loudly yells “Hey Val, any damn day now.“ Valerie is paralyzed with fear. “Your hairband, hurry up and transform for fucks sake.” Dana demands. “Oh right, here goes.”

Valerie transforms into her armor. She TRIES her absolute best to look as intimidating as she can but it’s of little use. Behind her, another monster appears. It had bluish grey skin and its mouth is on top of its head. Valerie is scared once more and runs (still in a feminine gait). “Wait, Val!” Angela goes. “Ah just forget it. It’s just us. Ya take that one, I’ll take the other one.” Dana says. Valerie hides behind the park bench in a vain attempt not get attacked.

Both girls give some punches and kicks but the monsters are pretty good at dodging the majority of them. Now both monsters surround Angela and Dana. Dana asks “What now?” Angela makes and throws several every red colored energy blades. It hits the tan colored monster and is sliced into several pieces, killing it. 

Dana says “Oh wow, that’s so cool! Lemme try.” She proceeds to do a similar move to Angela but it forms an energy whip instead and flings it at the monster. It misses a couple of times but then finally strikes it, leaving a small gash in its body. “There, hit there again!” Angela says while pointing. Dana does another strike at it making a bigger gash, the monster screeches loudly. 

With the green energy whip retracted, Dana puts her hands to her waist, making a green energy ball. She throws it at the monster which breaks into many small particles. After the battle, all three return to their normal clothing. Angela and Dana breath a sigh of relief. They then walk to the park bench with Valerie still behind it, totally covering her ears with her eyes still shut.

“Um it’s over, they’re gone now.” Angela trying her best to reinsure Valerie. “Ya but no fucking thanks to ya scaredy-cat. Look, just get the hell out of here will ya. If you don’t wanna or can’t fight, ya no use to us. Kay?” Dana states. “Look, what I think she’s trying is say is, we don’t want to see you get hurt. I don’t think you’re cut out for this. Go home, back to your mom and your school. Alright?” Angela says with both her hands around Valerie’s upper arms. 

Valerie getting teary eyed. “Yeah, I’m sorry. Good bye. I’ll never forget the two of you.” She runs off into the distance. “Did you have to be so mean to the poor girl?” Angela getting a bit angered at Dana’s comment. Dana with her hands on her hips “She’s just so damn useless. I… we don’t have time for her baby shit. These monsters are still appearing in this city and I guess it’s just up to us two to stop them.” Dana responds.

3:30PM Valerie is riding the train back home. She’s quite exhausted. Then she thinks back to the day’s events. Nodding to sleep. About an hour later, she wakes up and reaches her destination in the suburbs again. She exits the train. Feels a bit dazed at how unreal the past two days are. 

4:55PM It’s now almost dark. She arrives to her home. Mom opens the door. We see her mom Donna. She has light blonde hair of medium length, sharp upturned eyes and red lipstick. Wearing a grey blazer shirt, white shirt and grey skirt. “Where were you? You said a friend’s place. Do I know this person?” she asks in concerned matter. Valerie proceeds to walk into her home and closes the door. “Oh mom, I’m so sorry. It’s a bit complicated to explain. Listen, I can’t talk right now. I haven’t had anything to eat since this morning. Is dinner made?” Valerie asks. Why indeed yes. I even made your favorite, breaded chicken cutlets and salad. “Ah nice! Thanks mom.” Valerie happy exclaims.

8:30AM It’s a beautiful day. The sun is shining and the birds are chirping. Valerie goes backs to her school. She immediately goes to being her bubbly self, doing her best to forget everything that has happened to her in the past few days. Her friend Amber (17) is there. She has light tan skin, straight blonde hair in a ponytail and curly mall bangs along with brown eyes. She asks how Valerie’s been. “Oh sorry I wasn’t here last Friday. I was under the weather. I’m all good now. Hey by the way, where’s Tiffany? I wanted to talk to her. We had an argument and I really want to apologize.” Valerie says.

“Oh now that I think if it, I haven’t seen her around? Maybe she’s sick. It’s almost flu season you know.” Amber says. “Oh, you’re probably right.” Valerie says while shaking her head up and down.

“Hey guess what Valerie?” Amber gets getting closer to Valerie “I’m pregnant!” Valerie is a bit surprised “Oh!?” Amber responds while her hands rest on her stomach “Yep! Me and my boyfriend wanted this. Didn’t take long either.” Valerie counter responds. “Well, I guess as long as you’re happy, that’s all that really matters then. You’ll be a great mom, I’m sure.”

3:20PM Valerie is home from school. She takes a walk to her friend Tiffany’s house, hoping she’ll be there. Ringing the doorbell, she asks Tiffany’s mom if her daughter is there. Her mom says no, and in fact hasn’t seen her since Thursday. Valerie politely thanks Tiffany’s mom but mentally is really worried where her friend might be.

END OF CHAPTER 6.

Several weeks have passed, it is now the end of September. It’s been oddly quiet, as if the danger has now passed. There haven’t been any monster sightings. Still, an overall feeling that things aren’t over lingers within the minds of the girls.

3:05PM The school day is over. We see two young adolescent boys are walking down the street, at an apartment complex. It’s where Angela lives. She opens up the window, sticking her body out of it, then whistles at the boys and pulls down the collar of her red and white horizontal striped tank top, showing off her massive cleavage to the boys who excitedly smile. They both remark. “Aw man, look at size of those things. They’re freakin huge!”

We then see inside Angela’s apartment. It’s filled with posters of rock and other musical stars. Magazines and some trash are around the room along with some unwashed dishes that are seen in the sink. “Teasing da boys again?” Dana asks. “Ah you know, just some harmless fun, that’s all.” Angela responds in a joking matter. “You never liked men ya own age, don’t ya?” Dana asks. “Nah, most of the ones my age and older are nothing but pigs and slime.” Angela says. She sits back down in her beat up leather bound chair.

“I haven’t heard from Valerie since we met first her. What about you Dana?” Angela asks. “Nah, she probably forgot about us by now. Ya know how it is. High school girls, especially popular ones like her only care about their friends that are also there. Plus she probably has some guy on the brain too.” Dana remarks in a snarking manner.

Getting up from her chair, Angela starts beginning to get angry. You know, someone needs to stuff that attitude of yours up your ass.” Dana has one hand on her hip and the other is pointing out. “What? I’m just saying what’s more than likely true, that’s all. The blonde princess is living her perfect little life.” Dana counters back at. “That’s not the point. You’d be scared too if you weren’t able to fight. There has to be a reason she was given a headband too by the mysterious voice. Why else was she chosen like us?” Angela says in a bold manner. Dana responds with “Ya whatever.” 

1:12PM Back at Valerie’s school, it’s physical education class. Valerie is in her gym uniform. It consists of a white shirt and blue shorts. Her hair is pulled back in a ponytail (her metal hairband is in a locker with her regular clothes and backpack). She is playing volleyball. She then throws the ball but it hits another student. She apologizes though we don’t see who it hit. Valerie immediately apologizes saying “Oh, so sorry I hit you. Are you ok?” We only see the person’s arm, who gives a thumbs up and says “Yeah I’ll live, ugh.”

1:30PM Gym class is over, Valerie is changing back into her regular clothes, including putting back on the metal hairband While walking to her next class, she gets a strange feeling that overcomes her. She feels compelled to walk to where the billboard is, where the various school bulletins and events are posted for students to read. She sees one in particular that reads “Are you feeling hopeless in Hope City. Do you want somewhere to belong to? Come to this address and we can help.” On it is a weird symbol she’s never seen before. She begins to write the address down.

11:30PM, Valerie gets ready for bed and the next day of school. She walks by her mom’s bedroom but her mom is already fast asleep from the long day of work. Valerie wishes her mom a good night then goes back to her room and her eyes begin to close. We then see darkness and hear a heartbeat. At first it’s faint but then gets louder. We see Valerie, who is surrounded by her various classmates, who one by one turn into monsters, the kind she, Angela and Dana have been fighting. We even see her friend Tiffany who also begins to turn into a horrible monster too. Valerie screams in sheer terror…“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

Turns out it was a nightmare, and an awful one at that. Her mom walks in. “I heard you screaming. Is everything alright sweetheart?” her mom asks being quite concerned. Still sweating and breathing heavily, Valerie responds “Yeah, just a bad dream. I’m ok now. Lemme get back to sleep, okay? I love you mom.” She then tries her best to get back to sleep.

Next day at school. Valerie doesn’t look her best as she wasn’t able to get much sleep for the rest of the night after having that horrible nightmare. She tries to think if that dream had any basis in reality and if her friend Tiffany is in danger. She’s trying to have a normal day at school but is having trouble concentrating in class. 

Several days later, poor Valerie is still having these terrible nightmares. They’ve been increasingly been getting more vivid and graphic. She feels hopeless and cries herself back to sleep, wondering why won’t they stop.

10:00PM Both Angela and Dana return to Boy Toys for their pole dancing profession. As usual, the crowd cheers and whistles at their performances. “Whew, what a night? I need a drink of water. How about you Dana?” Angela asks. Dana responds “Ya you bet.” The two walk outside. Dana is now wearing a white colored fuzzy jacket.

The next day. It’s Friday but Valerie is still visibly distraught from the numerous bad dreams. Her hair is unbrushed. She has bags under her eyes. She decides to stay home from school, saying she has the flu to her mom though of course it’s a lie and Valerie is someone who hates lying to people, especially to her parents. 

She is sitting in a fetal position on her bed. “Why, why won’t they stop? Just make them end.” she mutters to herself. But just then when she’s about to cry, she hears the mysterious voice again. You need to go back.” It says. “Go? Go back where? You mean the city?” Valerie asks. “Yes, you need to go back. Back to Angela and Dana.” The voice says.

Getting up from her bed, Valerie asks in a defiant tone “Why? Why do you want ME to fight? Dana’s right about me, I am useless.” The voice responds “Restinsured that you’re not useless. You need to go back as soon as you can. Your talents will awaken only if you truly find the inner will to fight.” Valerie still puzzled “I… I can’t. I don’t think I have it in me. I hate violence.” The voice tries once more to convince her. “Listen, right now things will not make sense to you but you need to trust me, they will in do time. Now please go. Your friends will need your help too.”

It’s now Friday afternoon and we’re at Angela’s place. She receives a phone call and answers “Hello, who’s this? Valerie, is that you? Oh I’m so glad you called. I’d thought you’d forget about us by now. Are you okay? Well that’s good. About Dana? She’s ok too. Yeah that’s Dana for you, she’s always been combative and untrusting of strangers ever since I met her.” 

Valerie continues to converse on the phone “Listen, I’ve decided, I’m coming back. That mysterious voice told me I need to go back to you girls. I promise I won’t be such a failure. Do you want me back at Dana’s place?”

Angela response “Nah, I don’t think she’ll want you there this time. She might still be angry at you about what happened last time. Listen, come stay at my place. Bring your stuff to sleep over this time. There’s this great place in the city I just got to take you.” Valerie starting to smile a bit and responds “Okay I will. Just I got to ask my mom first.”

She talks to her mom. “Mom, I need a favor. I’m going to be staying at my friends over the weekend. It’s for um… school work. Yeah school work. I promise I’ll be back by Sunday. Please trust me, ok?” Her mom responds “Wait honey, don’t you have the flu? Why are you making such plans all of a sudden?” Valerie counter responds with “Oh no mom, I’m all better, see? I was feeling a bit under the weather but I’m all fine now, see?” Her mom says “Well okay but if don’t feel good again I want you back home as soon as possible.” They quickly hug and Valerie packs her things to go over to Angela’s place.

7:00PM back in the city it’s nearly dark out. Angela hears the doorbell ring and goes downstairs to open up the door. It’s Valerie who states “I”m here!” as she smiles.

END OF CHAPTER 7.

Valerie is at Angela’s apartment complex. While not necessarily the best, it’s certainly a step up from Dana’s dilapidated apartment. Hey Val, come in. I’m glad you’re able to make it here and safely too.” Angela says welcoming Valerie.

“Oh yes, thanks.” Valerie says. Valerie walks in with Angela. “Oh so this is where you live huh?” she continues on. “Yep. Yeah yeah I know it’s not the best but hey it’s comfortable at least.” Angela says. Valerie looks around the living area and sees various posters hanging. “Wow, you sure like rock and pop singers.” she remarks. “Certainly. I can’t sing nor make any music but I can at least appreciate it. Didn’t you say you say you wanted to be a pop star?” Angela asks. “Why yes, ever since I was young, I dreamt of being a famous pop singer. They sounded so good on the radio and looked even cooler on TV.” Valerie says happily. 

“That’s a nice dream but I hate to break it but it’ll only remain a dream. These days, all that happens to people here in the city is their dreams seem to die, and this city eat will you up too if you’re not prepared.” Angela remarks with a melancholic tone. “Hey that reminds me. I did see some homeless people on the sidewalk while walking here. It’s just so sad. They’re… they’re people too just like us. Why is it like this? Why can’t people reach out and help them?” Valerie says in a wide eyed but somber tone. “Sorry. It just is. Try not to be so naive.” Angela remarks again. “Is Dana coming over too?” Valerie asks. “Nah just us two.” Angela responds.

“So I need to know. Just when did you first hear that mysterious voice too?” Valerie asks. “Just last month. It told me I was needed. Ever since then monsters have been appearing in the city. I’ve already faced a dozen or so.” Angela responds. “A… a dozen? There’s that many of them out there. I see. So um, anyway you’ve always been in city?” Valerie asks. “Actually, I was born outside of here, in the country side. But me and my parents moved when I was eleven years old to Hope City.” Angela says while both girls sit on the sofa. Angela proceeds to tell Valerie her life story up until now

1984

We see Angela who is 11 years old. She’s wearing blue overalls and a red and white striped shirt. Her hair is a page boy with bangs and a hairband with youthful freckles. She’s happily running in a grassy field with flowers and butterflies. The air is fresh and clean with the sun shining brightly.

In the distance we see her house. Her mom calls to her as she has something important to tell her. She tells young Angela that her father found a high paying job in Hope City. They’re going to have to move. Angela is excited because she’s never been to the big city before.

Angela and her parents arrive in Hope City. She’s enthralled by the tall skyscrapers. She has an open wide smile while her parents drive into the city with their belongings. They move into a high rise apartment complex. They’re living a good life in the city and young Angela is loving it.

A year later…

1985

Angela is now 12 years old. Her parents take her to the biggest toy store in the city to get a birthday present for herself. Once inside, she is totally mesmerized. There, she sees toys like huge stuffed animals as big as her. 

She’s walking around the isles. You’d think she be into the girl’s toys of the time like dolls or ponies but she’s actually more into the boy’s toys of the time. Lots and lots of action figures adorn the shelves and pegs. Patriotic soldiers with big vehicles, muscled barbarians and monsters, mutant insect men that ride even bigger insects.

That’s all good and all but what REALLY gets her attention are the robot toys. There are so many kinds, in all sorts of colors, shapes and sizes. In the background, we see a kid pointing at one of the bigger ones and throws a tantrum when not given it. His mother pulls him aside. Angela picks the one she wants. It’s the main hero from that cartoon about those alien robots. Her parents buy it for her.

Angela and her parents walk out but she was so excited she forgot her purchase so runs right back in to get it. Her parents wait outside. When she comes back out she is shocked and drops her bag with the toy in it. Both her parents were murdered in broad daylight.

It was a botched robbery. She’s screams loudly at what a horrific crime she’s just seen The killer has long since ran off. She is now being comforted by police but there’s nothing that can be done to bring her parents back. Even if the criminal is found, her parents are gone and her life changed forever.

1987

Two years pass. Angela is 14 years old now. Despite being a young teen, she’s quite physically developed. She’s tall and her breasts are large for her age. Her clothing gets increasingly more inappropriate. 

She is now living in a foster home and actively hates her foster parents. She’s also not fond of the police either since she blames them for not being able to apprehend her parents’ killer.

Incredibly defiant and angry, she fights with her foster parents and runs away often. Still, she continues with school because it’s the one place from her home life she feels she can unwind. This is the status quo for the next four years until she turns 18. She graduates from high school and finally moves out. She learns to be self sufficient on her own.

1991

We now see she’s working at “Boy Toys” pole dancing club. It is dark and seedy. The kind of place of low lives go to and seeing young women dancing. Since you need to be at least 21 to work there (since alcohol is served), she makes a fake ID. No one there bothers to do a background check. They’re just interested in her body, which even at age 18, has a huge chest and quite tall at 6’0.

We meet Angela’s friend at the club. Her name is Cyndi (23) but goes by the stage name of “Sin-D.” She has short wavy blond hair (it’s dyed, she really a brunette), sharp upturned eyes with heavy mascara and very large breasts. She’s an experienced pole dancer at the club.

Sin-D trains Angela in pole dancing who quickly becomes skilled. Sin-D is amazed at how well Angela has taken to it and becomes an expert at pole dancing at the club too. In no time, Angela is quite popular there.

Early 1993

We see Angela who’s dancing at a night club. She notices Dana also dancing. The two quickly becomes friends. Both having similar dark and troubled pasts, they find a shared bonded between each other. Dana says she needs a job that pays well to take care of her and her sister Michelle. Angela takes Dana under her wing and gets her a job at Boy Toys. Just like how Angela was too young to actually work there, so to is Dana and thus makes a fake ID for her as well.

Dana also takes to dancing quickly. Angela and Dana become a highly popular duo there. This makes Sin-D quite jealous. This reaches the point that Dana and Sin-D have altercations in the club. At first it was just arguing but then Dana and Sin-D get into a fist fight. Sin-D leaves the club, never to be seen again. 

Present day

We see Valerie who begins to cry. “Th…that’s so sad. For your parents to be murdered like that. I can’t imagine losing my mom to such violence. How can people be so evil like that? Plus that other girl working at the club leaving.” she says while blowing her nose on a tissue.

“Oh hey hey, it’s okay, I’m okay.” Angela says quickly to calm Valerie down and reinsure her. “Look, just relax, will watch some TV. One of my favorites is on right now. That sound ok with you?” Angela asks and then gets up to make some popcorn.

She turns the TV on, a show called “Ongoing Enigmas.” Scary sounding synth music is heard accompanied by CGI graphics that are state of the art at this time. “Oh I love this shit.” Angela says. The host (who was also a voice in a big budget animated movie of those alien robots). “Monsters. Most people say they aren’t real but some eyewitness accounts say they are. Many in Hope City say they’ve seen monsters.” the host says. Descriptions of the monsters are also given including some sketches. It looks just like the monsters the girls have been fighting. Angela and Valerie are absolutely stunned at what they just heard and saw on the TV.

END OF CHAPTER 8.

The two girls are still sitting on the sofa and in a bit of a shock from what was just heard on the TV, “Monsters, like the ones you and Dana have been fighting? Is that what they’re talking about?” Valerie exclaims as her eyes widen with surprise. “There’s no doubt about it. It just has to be. What else would it be?” Angela replies. 

“We’re are they from? They have to be coming from somewhere.” Valerie says while getting more emotionally charged. “Oh I wish I knew, I really do.” Says Angela.”What do they even want? Why are we the ones involved?” Valerie asks while getting increasingly upset. “Look let’s not worry about that now. You and me let’s just have fun for the rest of the evening. Ok?” Angela says. Valerie calms down and agrees.

9:00PM The two do they’re best to forget the discussion of the monsters and decide to watch “The Dysfunctionals”, a popular animated sitcom about a dysfunctional suburban family and the town they live in, as the name suggests. They laugh a lot. Valerie says “I think I feel a little better now.” Angela then goes in the kitchen to get more popcorn, only to find Valerie fast asleep. Angela puts a blanket on her. Angela herself gets ready for bed. She sleeps in a tank top with thin straps. It’s so loose on her that her large areolae peek through.

8:15AM The next day. The two wake up from sleep. Angela makes some breakfast. She prepares some fried eggs, with toast, some frozen breakfast sausage, orange juice and fresh coffee. “Sorry I’m not much of a cook.” Angela says “Oh this is fine. Thanks so much.” Valerie says. Both Angela and Valerie begin to eat. 

Angela sits down and converses with Valerie. “Listen, I know she can be bit of a bitch but don’t take Dana’s harsh attitude to heart. She may look and act like tough but deep down, she’s a big softie that loves and cares for her sister deeply. I’m sure once she gets to know you more, she’ll be friendlier to you too. Valerie responds “Oh no, I get it. She… she had a tough life. Poor girl. Her father, her mother, and now having to take care of her sister while still just a teen herself. That would make anyone really bitter.” After finishing their breakfast they both get ready for the day. 

10:45AM Angela and Valerie take to the streets. While walking, Angela passes by a toy store, the same one where her parents were murdered outside when she was 12 years old. Memories play in her mind of that horrid day. Her hand is on the toy store window and has a pained look on her face, but then quickly returns to looking in good spirits as to not make Valerie sad. Angela does her best to not make an already concerned deeply Valerie even more upset.

12:05PM The two girls now head to an Italian restaurant named “Altissimo”, a place Angela is fond of and wanted to treat Valerie for lunch. It’s an outdoor restaurant on the sidewalk. There’s about six seats available. “Oh your going to love this place, they make the best linguine and baked clams you’ll ever have.” Valerie’s eyes widen with anticipation.

The two receive their order, both are having the same thing. “Oh you’re right, this is pretty good, especially these baked clams.” Valerie happily replies. “Hopefully sometime, when this craziness about the monsters is over, you can come over to where I live. I’ve got to make you try the pizza place in the neighborhood.”

Continuing the conversation while eating “Hey Angela, guess what? I just found out my friend Amber is pregnant. Isn’t that great? Valerie says. “Is she someone at your school? Hmmn, isn’t she a bit young for that?” Angela asks while still eating. “Well I know my mom had me at my age too but my friend and her boyfriend seem like they can make it work.”

“Oh, I can’t wait to be a mommy too. Pregnancy is SO beautiful.” Valerie says while fantasizing about being pregnant. “Of course I want to finish school first.” she also states. “That’s nice I guess. Just don’t let the boys get the best of you.” Angela says while winking.

Valerie pulls out a piece of paper with an address. “Oh hey, I almost forgot, I saw something school bulletin board the other day. It says something about giving hope to the hopeless in this city and it had this address. It’s weird, I felt an odd feeling, like I was drawn to look at that. Do you know where this is?” Valerie ask but Angela responds with “I’m not sure but it’s probably nothing really important.”

12:44PM A few block away, some children are playing with a ball in an alleyway. But by some trash cans, we see a shadow arise. At first it’s just a shadow but just then some tentacles are seen ready to attack the children.

Back at the restaurant, the two girls sense the presence of the monster. They immediately leave their seating but not before leaving some money for the meal. They both transform while getting there.

They reach the alleyway. Angela sees the children, who are unfortunately been killed by the monster. Her face fills with intense emotion while her hand is in a tight fist. “Wait Valerie don’t go any further. It’s… it’s too awful for you to see.” Angela says while trying to shield Valerie from the gruesome horrific scene. 

“Come out monster, I know you’re here. It’s no use hiding, so give up so I can tear you apart, just like what you did to these kids.” Angela angrily yells out. Just then some tentacles come flying at her but she just nearly dodges them. “That’s the best you got?” she says after she lands on her feet.

The monster then finally reveals itself. It’s a bit bigger than the previous monsters, is light green, its head conical in shape and has sharp teeth lining it’s body vertically fully done. “Oh jeez, they just keep getting uglier” Angela remarks. “Angela what we going to do?” Valerie asks.

Just then its mouth fully opens, revealing its tentacles. Angela is about to attack but they immediately grab and wrap around her tightly. “Angela!” Valerie yells out. “Run Valerie, run! Save yourself NOW!” Angela says to her. “I can’t leave you, but I need to stop that… thing.” Valerie says. The monster electrocutes Angela who is knocked out. “ANGELA NO!” Valerie yells out.

The monster (who’s still holding Angela) tries to also grab Valerie but she luckily dodges it. Just as the monster attacks again, she leaps and is high in the air. “Am I flying?” Valerie asks while bewildered.

She then lands on a rooftop. The monster jumps and lands on the rooftop too. “Please, let her go. NOW!” Valerie demands in a desperate manner. Of course the monster isn’t going to listen and just roars. “Dana was right, I am hopeless? But what am I going to do?” she wonders.

Just then she looks up to see Dana as arrived, delivering a kick to the monsters head. “Dana, you’re here!” Valerie happily exclaims. “Put Angela down and fight me ya fucking bastard.” The monster attempts attack Dana with its tentacles but she jumps out of the way quickly.

Dana does her energy whip attack, which successfully severs the tentacles that we’re holding Angela. Dana runs to catch her and lays her on the rooftop. Dana tries to perform an energy ball attack but the monster knocks her before she can do it and the wraps its tentacles around Dana. 

“Put me down you piece of shit!” Dana yells. The monster is pulling Dana ever closer it its gaping maw of a mouth while Dana continues to curse. “Valerie, ya need to attack, now! Do it!” Dana says to Valerie. “I can’t, I don’t know how” says Valerie. “HURRY GOD FUCKING DAMN IT! YA CAN DO IT!” Dana greatly yells out while desperately trying to get free.

Valerie who is wincing, sees that her crystal in the center of her belt begin to glow. She recalls the energy attack Dana attempted to do. She then tries to do the same attack. The energy ball hits the shoulder of the monster, making a small wound but not enough to let Dana go, let alone kill it. 

“That’s it! Again, hit it again Val! Just like that.” Dana says while the monster has her very close near its mouth. A large tongue is seen and starts to lick Dana’s face. “UGH! Fucking gross” she’s says. Valerie gives it another try at an energy attack. This time the attack hits the monster right in the mouth, nearly missing Dana but the monster drops her. The monster then falls off the roof, breaking into many, many pieces when it lands.

At first a blank expression but then turns into a smile on Valerie’s face. “I… I can’t believe I did it. I DID IT!” she happily exclaims. She comes running to Dana. “Did you see that, I finally got one!” Valerie says while hugging Dana. “Ya sure did blondie. Hey check on Angela, will ya? Dana says. “Oh right.” Valerie says, running over to where Angela is.

Angela begins to wake up. “Did… did we get it?” she asks. “Yep, and it was me that stopped it. I did that energy ball thingy you girls are able to do and it fell off the roof and was killed thankfully.” Valerie says while still happy over her first victory. “Let’s get back home, ok.” Angela says while ruffling Valerie’s head. “Sure thing.” Valerie gleefully says. 

END OF CHAPTER 9.
