Chapter 1: Ringing in your Ears
Wilbur Day was a man with nothing, until he got the idea of being a criminal in San Diego. He figured that a change of scenery was an order after being constantly beaten by Daredevil. He was dressed in a silver armored suit that extended his height to sixty feet. He went by the name of Stiltman, and he would often attack with weaponry in the suit. .
Needless to say, is first outing as a career criminal in San Diego would be met with unimagined humiliation at the hand of one particular West Coast Avenger. He was attempting to rob a new clothing store at the mall, and that was when he ran into her.
Farrah Willows, the white-haired cat-girl Persiana, did a flip through one of the stilts,
"Seriously? You're called Stilt-man? How lame can you get?"
Stiltman shouted,
"Shut up! I'm a great criminal!"
He fired a laser blast at the cat-girl, but Persiana simply bent over backwards, almost as if she was more bored than anything else. She stood up and placed her hands on her hips,
"You disappoint me. What next, you'll join a parade?"
Stilt-man shouted,
"I'll teach you to mock me!"
He started extending the stilts, laughing,
"HAH! Now, feel the wrath of Stilt-man! This will get me res-.
Before he could get a chance to finish, the armored villain hit his head on the roof of the store and wobbled slightly. Persiana casually walked up to the stilts and, flipping onto her hands, kicked both of the stilts. The stilts were surprisingly flimsy and, in a moment, Stilt-man literally fell off of his stilts. She landed daintily on her toes and shook her head,
"That's what you get for interrupting my shopping trip."
She then skipped merrily over to the cashier, who had watched the whole thing. Farrah grinned widely,
"I'd like to purchase this please."
The cashier could only blink at the teen girl's seemingly cheery attitude. Just then, a call came in on the com-link. It was Pulsar. She asked,
"Persiana, are you all right? We're on our way to your location. Something about an explosion…"
Farrah waved it off,
"It's all right; Pulsar. Just some lame-ass creep wearing stilts thought he could rob the place."
Stilt-man was groaning at that moment as he tried to get up. Persiana, with her purchase, was walking out of the store, near Stilt-man's now conscious body starting to get up. She was still talking on her com-link,
"It's O-K, Pulsar. Crys is meeting me at the Food Court and everything's-."
She looked down and noticed something on the floor,
"Ooh, shiny quarter!"
She bent over to pick it up, extending her back leg as she bent over. Not realizing it, her foot accidentally knocked out Stilt-man again. The low-tier villain was delirious as Farrah turned and shrugged,
"Whatever."
She then left the store.
Meanwhile…
The Nevada desert is home to many a mystery; from the old silver mining towns long abandoned by the silver veins drying up, to the nuclear test sites that once tested the strength and impact of the atomic bomb. It was here, at this long abandoned bombing range, that Nekra, an albino sorceress and necromancer in training to the great Black Talon, was busy reciting a passage taken from the Necronmicon. The Necornomicon was a book of utter evil, and thought to have been destroyed. However, it would seemingly come back, not able to be completely destroyed.
Nekra had taken a look at the book and found the text needed to summon the souls of the dead. She was planning on bringing back her love the Grim Reaper; Eric Williams. She was convinced she could do it.
She was in a dark cavern, and, dressed in very thin black silk robes, she began chanting in an indecipherable language. She took a dagger and cut her palm, letting the blood drip onto a skull she found at the bomb site. The albino sorceress could sense this area was full of hate and spirits that sought vengeance; and the skull was part of it. She felt the energy growing and growing as she continued the ritual.
The skull then glowed ominously, and an undead hand emerged from the ground…
