Chapter One: Vendetta Against Infamy
Scarlet and orange embers licked against the metallic grey frame of the bestial figure in front of the other slim character in front of it. The two characters gazed at each other, one expression showed anger and ferocity while the other one showed cheerfulness and determination.
The enraged untamable persona wrapped its hands into two hammer shapes, knuckles growing ivory as the force intensified. The jovial persona clapped its hands, a noticeable grin plastered on the figure's face. In an instant, two weapons clashed into conflict, flurries of sparks dancing in a revel of enthusiasm between the two opponents.
A clicking noise came from the cheerful fighter, the shuffle of her high heeled shoes echoing throughout the battlefield. The setting of the confrontation was Central City, the national capital of world commerce and capital of the world. With a swift motion, the ecstatic female repelled the infuriated male with her weapon, the male character landing on his feet with a soft touch.
"Did you know that today was the day in which HE took over the world? The day in which HE ended the lives of the heroes before us? The day in which HE ended all of the prosperity the past generation tried to preserve?" The female asked with a grin.
"Yes, I've known this ever since he became the new dictator of our world and he is the rightful leader of this land. The best thing is that you were the one who led to this future and no one could have planned this better than HE." the male acknowledged.
The female nodded and raised her weapon to her shoulders, sliding it along her slender frame until it landed in her right hand. The female character was a magenta and apricot colored cat, apricot highlighting the area around her eyes, the tips of her ears and the palms of her hands. Her eyes were a majestic cyan color and her muzzle was apricot. Her hair was tied into a single ponytail which reached to her waist and her two bangs pointing upwards.
She wore a pair of ebony headphones on her ears, the wire which would be attached to the headphones cut off from the device. Around her neck was a golden locket in the shape of an oval, the initials S.T engraved on the front of it. The feline wore a long sleeved white button up shirt with slim jade streaks running the top. Attached to the wrists of her shirt were two cufflinks which connected to the shirt with two gold pins that were shaped like eagles.
Above the shirt was a black vest that was also buttoned up. The cat wore jet black pants which were held up by a leather studded belt with white metal crosses on the accessory. A pair of chestnut brown high heels and a long standard scythe were the final touch to the feline.
"Well you know me cutie, I learn from my mistakes and always try to fix them however you are in my way of doing that. So if you would just excuse me, I'll be on my way now." the feline replied.
"Unfortunately, I support the master Shyra and I can not allow you to eliminate the master as he is the only person who can lead us to the one and only path." the male stated causing Shyra to pout.
The male crossed his arms over his chest and glared at the voluptuous female. The male was a grey colored hawk with amber orbs. He had seven slender downward spikes although only the middle one had a neon green highlight on it. The hawk had a moon shaped scar around his left eye. Streaking along his arms were tribal tattoos that reached up to his wrists.
On his chest was an ebony tattoo of a hawk with its wings spread out. The hawk wore a pair of black fingerless gloves and green cargo shorts that reached a bit below his knees. He wore a pair of khaki colored military boots and in his hand was a sleek metallic grey sword. The hawk was known as Flori.
"Then I have to force you out of the way buddy." Shyra spat with fierce determination.
Shyra Tenku the Cat jetted forward towards Flori Vitrus the Hawk, the feline swiping her scythe upwards to the bird who blocked and shoved her away. The cat gritted her teeth as her feet dragged against the street, friction slowing down her momentum just enough so she didn't fly into something.
The feline threw her scythe into the air and threw a flurry of kicks towards her more powerful opponent who blocked with his forearm. With a swift kick, the cat knocked Flori's sword out of his hand and caught her scythe in her hand before slashing the bird in his chest, his natural wine dripping from his wound like rain, drop by drop.
Shyra isn't going serious against me though she never does and yet this will be her downfall. I will kill her swiftly and then all forms of rebellion will be extinguished.
Shyra grasped the end of her scythe, jabbing it forward into Flori's stomach and then slamming the blunt side into her chin before kicking the hawk away. As the hawk flailed away, the feline caught the hawk's sword and threw it with precise precision at the enemy.
Flori looked at the incoming blade before a violet glow enveloped his hands, the sword gaining a similar glow as it slammed into the floor. A smirk befell the cat's facial expression, obviously knowing that Flori would use his powers of gravity to stop the sword from striking.
The hawk sent the sword towards Shyra who raised her scythe to block incoming strikes. His hands began to sway in a slow fashion, the sword following his movements as if he was conducting an orchestra. Twirling the scythe in her hands, she sent the blade away and dashed towards the hawk who slammed his palm into the ground. Cerulean pools widened when all of a sudden, debris around the battlefield rose from the ground.
"Oh boy, you're actually trying. You're so much fun to play with." the magenta character commented.
She leaped on top of a street sign before bounding onto a car which she ran along. A pole came above her, Shyra grabbing and spinning on the floating object to propel herself upwards. The cat landed on a rail and grinded downwards until she jumped onto the side of a truck and ran along it.
From the ground below, a geyser of steam rocketed the cat upwards where she was met with two cars that were going to crush into each other from above and below. With a bit of acrobatics, she barrel rolled in between both vehicles, and landed on another automobile, sliding and bounding off a car that was above her, the ricochet sending her in Flori's direction.
You're dead now Captain of the East! Nice knowing you love.
She summoned her scythe into her hands and swung downwards however Flori used his powers to grab her before she could strike the final blow. Shyra slammed into the floor, a crater forming beneath her from the immense pressure being forced onto her body.
The cat grasped for air as best as she could though Flori wouldn't allow her the satisfaction. The hawk positioned his blade above her body and shook his head in mock disappointment.
"Shyra, I would've thought that you would have known I would use my powers of gravity to catch you in a trap. You're such a fool and yet I really have no remorse in the act I will commit right now. Unfortunately, you were never able to face any of the other captains, let alone face the master. Dreams are extinguished and hope is diminished…good-bye Shyra." Flori waved as Shyra smiled which was common.
"Actually, I didn't come alone then again, I thought you would've known that as well. Buddy, come teach this mean person a lesson." Shyra commanded as a bulky figure came rushing to her aid, bullets hailing from behind Flori who used his sword to block.
The moment of distraction allowed Shyra to make the hawk lose his concentration so she could escape his grasp. She grabbed his scythe and swiped at Flori's head, the hawk dodged while still blocking all of the ammunition that was coming his way.
Shyra dropped to her feet and went for a sweeping kick and a slice to her opponent's torso. The hawk jumped upwards, kicking the weapon from out of the cat's hands and using his gravity powers to float above the volley of projectiles which stopped.
"Just in the nick of time buddy. I thought I was as good as dead until you came to my rescue! You're such a good friend, I'm glad I got you out of that capsule you were in." Shyra praised to the bulky figure.
"No praise necessary Shyra Tenku, it is the duty of I, E-100 Omega to aid you in any and all problems that are to be dealt with." the robot said in its usual monotonous voice.
"Just as I expected Shyra, you couldn't defeat me without the help of that robot. I would have killed you if he hadn't intervened. Unfortunately, that is all the time that we have for today. We will meet again soon and be prepared to meet a swift death." Flori declared before flying away.
Shyra shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly before smiling at the Eggman creation who gazed at her with its neon LED lights. The cat grabbed Omega's hand, the robot raising up to its shoulder and allowing her to sit on top of it. Omega began to rocket away from the battlefield, flares igniting from its back as the scenery became mere blurs as the seconds passed by. Shyra began to tap her finger on her chin in thought.
Flori seems to have changed ever since the last time we were together which was the day HE took over and his change isn't very nice. I haven't changed I guess but I did make that mistake that cost a lot of people's lives though with Omega's help, I'll fix my mistakes. Like I always do…
"Is there something troubling you Shyra Tenku?" Omega asked, breaking the feline from her trance.
"Oh no, just pondering on some recent events. It's no problem buddy, just keep your…processors on the road yet you can't even call this a road due to all the debris scattered around this poor place." Shyra muttered.
"It is a tragedy is it not?" Omega questioned.
"Yes but that doesn't mean we can't change it back to what it once was. After all, I did survive this far by myself and I found you as well. We make a pretty good team and I know that we can save the world, bringing the world back to what it once was." the cat stated.
"How do you know this?"
"Easy, I'm a pretty good fighter myself and I defeat my opponents without ever being serious about anything so what's to say I can't defeat four captains and one master who isn't even all that? Not only that but you're the ultimate machine that has all those pointy weapons and what not. I'm telling you, I'm confident about your abilities and my own." the cat answered.
Omega nodded to the cat who smiled at her partner as he dashed forward to the outskirts of the city before stopping.
"Well what shall we do now exactly Shyra?"
"Well I have to make the decision best for our team so I say that we go the North and face the captain there. I heard that he was the easiest and his base is the nearest from here so why not? What do you say buddy?" Shyra asked.
"I concur, we move North to eliminate the Captain of the North first. As for the hawk?"
"We'll deal with that bird brain later." Shyra said as she pointed north, Omega dashing in the direction as told to.
To be continued…
A/N: Welcome to the new story guys! This story was a new idea that popped into my head while I was brainstorming. It comes from previous ideas and stories that I wrote with a brand new main OC known as Shyra. I say Shyra's pretty good like Damien and Spade and I can't wait to write more about her. This story is only up because Destiny Odyssey is on hiatus for certain circumstances. I hope you guys liked the first chapter. Review! Thanks! Bye.
