Fair warning, I've messed up in this chapter and the next, mostly on the day and night time in the events. I can't really go back and change it, lest I rewrite both chapters and have them be completely different... I'm sorry, I didn't notice it until I watched episode 8.
Rest of the description: 'Abandoned by her parents and raised by wild white tigers, Veirin journeys through life to find out why her parents had abandoned her. Veirin has a split personality, one during the day and the other at night; As Vei looks for information during the day, Rin searches at night to help find something regarding her parents. Genos, Saitama, and Sonic are forced to party up in order to find out if Rin is a villain or hero, no one knows who Rin is behind the mask and they eventually grow suspicious of Vei. Once they finally manage to uncover her, a powerful villain that's a threat to both Villain and Hero emerges and gives Saitama a difficult time later on. This Villain...believes that both sides of good and evil are all after the same thing, to win and rule over the other. So being the shadow between the two forces, he plans on taking them both down, to put an end to the eternal conflict. His love for Veirin, the desire of continuing with his plans and solving the mysteries of the protagonist, eventually makes his emotions conflict with each other. After the Villain is defeated, Veirin is no longer bound by chains that keep her emotions from growing. Once she gains freedom of the burden that held her down for a decade or so, she eventually changes her mind about not picking a side and becomes a hero.

"Where did they go?!" A male voice screamed in the distance, as a mother with a baby snuggled into her arms ran through the tall grass. "I don't know! Go check over there!" Another male hollered. Behind the panting running woman who was carrying the baby, was the father trying to keep up.
The father's teeth were gritted into view, as each step he would take brushed through the grass. The environment was of a rain forest, tall trees full of leaves, bushes, large rocks and small streams of water flowing through them and into a much larger body of water. Birds flew up into the nighttime air after being startled awake from the rushing parents. Both of them panted heavily through their pace, they skipped over rocks and tipped over trees that would be in their path. The mother's cat tail flailed behind her and her round wild cat ears were perked in fear. Both of the parents were hard to see in the dark, they were nothing but silhouettes that zoomed past trees. Beams from flash lights flailed behind them and out came a male's strong voice from far away. "THERE THEY ARE!" That caused the two to panic and the father to pick his wife up for better security.
He ran, hearing the gun shots behind them, the baby in the mother's arms whimpering and his wife causing tiny mews of fear between clamped lips. "Please, we have to hide our baby...! If they get us then they at least can't harm our baby girl...!" The mother looked up at him with green cat eyes that glowed through the darkness, appearing full of mourn and devastation.
The father, as he kept up his pace he peered down to view her slits and nodded. "You're right... The bushes should be fine as long as she doesn't cry..." He stated in a lowered voice through heavy breaths and ran around a tree that just so happened to be near by a tiger's den.
Quickly setting the mother down, the wife sat down on her knees in the bush and gently placed their baby that was wrapped up in a pink baby blanket in there on the ground. It was difficult to make out but it looked like she pulled something out of her hair and tucked it inside the blanket. "This is all I can give you as a parting gift, sweetie. I'm so sorry...I'm sorry...! We'll see each other again, I promise...!" Tears welled up in her eyes and trailed down her face, when she went in and softly kissed her baby. That parting gift she gave had her scent on it, so it'd be enough to keep the baby calmed down. Those green cat slits longingly gazed into the baby's cat eyes, then soon averted once her husband tugged on her.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...!" It tore her apart to separate from her own baby, even more so for the father despite his cautious and serious behavior. Her husband was human, he had no signs of feline features from what the scene could display through the thick darkness in the rain forest.
"Don't worry hunny, we'll find her again. Last thing we need is for our baby to get killed, she'll survive a night without us...!" He rose his voice and little did the mother know, a single tear streamed past the scene after he ran across it; It was his tears...
When the scene zoomed out to expose the darkened rain forest and the constant flashing lights of the ones who gave chase, a gun shot echoed through the atmosphere and the scene turned pitch black.
Not long did it go back to normal, showing the crying baby during the day in the bush and tears streaming down her tiny cheeks. "WHAAAAAAAAAAA!" Her small legs beneath the blanket kicked out a bit, her eyes closed and mouth wide open. She cried and whimpered, it almost sounded like a tiger cub calling for its mother... Though as if on cue, a female white tiger who was just strolling away from the den, paused in her step and her ears twitched. Her head perked up and looked over in the said direction of the baby, soon taking its hesitant steps over towards it.
To the female tiger, it did sound like a cub crying. So she took no time after that to race up to the said 'cub', only to find the baby in the bush wrapped in a pink blanket... Her brows knitted, her muzzle inched close to the baby girl's head and sniffed her. She had a human's scent but a feline's as well, it confused her. Regardless though, despite her being a hunter, she was a mother too. Already having cubs at her den with her mate keeping them safe while she strayed away to find food. As gentle as she could, she clamped her jaws on the blanket and bundled it up a little bit in her mouth, trying to carry the baby like any mama tiger would. After she managed to pick her up, she trotted carefully back to her den and walked up to her other cubs. Her mate, a male white tiger, perked his head up and sized up the baby in question.
The female tiger's blue eyes locked on to his and she gradually but carefully placed the baby next to her cubs, not once averting them; It was as if they were communicating, because they stared at each other like that for a good minute with a couple of twitches of ears here and there. Immediately the male stood from his laying down position he was in and strolled on up to the crying baby. His tail swatted a couple times and his curiosity piqued him; The baby was defenseless and was crying for her mother. Peeking back up at his female, anyone could tell he was questioning the mother's whereabouts.
After he looked her way, sorrow engulfed her blue eyes and her head shook. None the less, she laid down next to the baby and tried her best to comfort it. Licking her tears away, snuggling her into her white fur and trying to feed the baby. The cubs all came over but the father tiger growled at them, making them hunker down. Soon they turned to each other and start playing, with one of them tackling the other onto the ground.
"It's been years since I was with my tiger parents... After I grew older and was taught how to hunt by them, I was able to leave them. They even told me that my real parents were no where to be seen, even said they raised me because I was a defenseless baby that cried out like a tiger cub. When I wanted to venture out and try to cope with humans, they grew worried since I've been with them for countless years, over a decade even... I told them I wanted to find my real parents and why they abandoned me in that bush, so they wished me the best of luck in the end and let me be on my way, They claimed they had no right to keep me since I wasn't originally one of them but yet, raised me as if I were." A disembodied female voice echoed as it showed the top view of city J, slowly zooming into it and exposing a woman who was pacing down a sidewalk. It was daytime, civilians walked on the sidewalks and into stores while she blended in with the crowd around her.
"I've spent some years learning to cope, speak and do things like humans. I've even managed to score a part-time job and earned my way up. I spent my money that I've saved up, to learn the art of ninjas and other martial arts for self-defense. Luckily I already knew how to sneak around and target my prey, I thank my tiger parents for that. They taught me everything they knew, so that I wouldn't starve when I was out on my own." she added. Her attire consisted of sunglasses with dark blue rims and a hair clip that dangled down past her jawline. The hair clip had a strange oblong but long and big bead that had a feather attached to a string at the bottom. Black hair that reached to the middle of her back, bangs that curved around her face on the right side and the other side of her face had bangs tucked behind her left ear where that cat toy-like clip resided. Behind those sunglasses were green cat eyes with thin oval slits, hidden from others. They were dim but wasn't pitch black to where you couldn't see her eyes. Her attire consisted of long a sleeved dress shirt, a dark blue tie and a black vest that hid the tie's tip underneath. Around her vest though was a dark blue corset, it exposed her curves nicely and the sleeves on the dress shirt was rolled up to show her forearms. Her hands were covered up by thin black gloves and the bottoms she wore were shorts. Dark blue thigh socks reached just above her knees and heelless black leather boots with buckles on the sides, was visible on her feet.
Her gloved hand reached into her pocket and pulled out a piece of paper, soon reading its contents. "Should be around here..." She mentally noted and peered back up, though she bumped into someone's backside and caused her to back up a bit. She took notice of a tall male in a brown trench coat and a hat on his head, she couldn't make out his features. "Hey, don't just stand there! Other people walk here-" Before she could finish, the very man peeked over his shoulder at her and grinned. It was a toothy grin, a mouth full of sharp teeth and his skin was yellow. Not long after did the civilians take notice and scream, calling that guy a monster and fleeing.
That weird guy just stood there grinning at her, eyes glistening red from the shade of his hat and not once glancing at the passing people. His true focus was on her, but why? "Why aren't you running like the others, human?" He questioned and laughed, then fully turned to face her. He was indeed tall, he towered over her and appeared to be around seven feet.
"Because I'm not some coward who thinks every monster is scary..." She sweat dropped and put the paper back in her pocket. "Damn, I don't even have my shotgun with me. I swear if this guy tries to attack me, he'll never hear or feel the end of it..." Her mental thoughts echoed and the yellow skinned monster leaned down to look into her vaguely hidden eyes. He watched her adjust her sunglasses up the bridge of her nose more and sighed.
"Oh? I'm not scary to you? Well then...~" He laughed, took off his hat and trench coat, then swirled around to face her once more. Though when he did, she was gone... His entire body looked like it was made of yellow stone, with some sharp rocks for fingernails and webbing between in fingers.. "Where did you go?!" He hollered, darted his head everywhere and frantically searched for the said protagonist. What he didn't know was that she was minding her own business...walking down a different sidewalk around the block.
She was reading the piece of paper again, following the instructions on how to find her destination. "This is now my life, forced to deal with monsters that show up in city J. Even though I'm a citizen that's just passing by, monsters just seem to take interest in me all because I never run. More like I just wonder away or mind my own business, when they appear... They're so annoying. Yep, this is Vei Galis everyone! The number one citizen in city J so far, that doesn't chicken out and gets annoyed by monsters... Tch- feels like I'm the only one, aside from the constant heroes that pop up every so often..." She added in her head, sounding sarcastic and irritated all the while. She stood at five feet and six inches, pretty average for a woman.
All that could be heard in the distance, was a loud bang from the area she came from. "That monster must have ran into a hero. Good, hopefully that rocky Spongebob rip-off would keep off my tail." Her mumbled voice stated with annoyance as another sweat drop inched down the side of her head. When she turned the corner, there was a door that read 'Guns n' Smiths'. It was written on a dangling sign in front of the door's window. "This place is said to have the best gun makers, huh? The part-time job I have gave me a free gun license since I applied there. Might as well buy a gun, right? I get free training at the shooting range too, only on break though... So, maybe I should buy myself a rifle with a scope attached? I'd need it for hunting anyway, hunting with a shotgun is a nightmare considering my prey runs off all the time." She said in her mind with one eye twitching and opened the door.
Inside, there was a man examining a 30mm pistol, who soon paid for it and was about to leave with it in a bag. Once he spotted her, his eyes widened and took in her appearance. It wasn't everyday when a chick comes strolling into a gun shop... Smiling, he trotted past her and out the door that she came in from. Her head followed his form with a risen brow, then shook her head. "What can I do for you miss?" The man at the desk questioned and leaned over to see her, with a friendly smile.
"You got any Sniper Rifles that are any good? I need one for hunting." Asking that, she paced towards the man and past up countless shelves with guns inside of boxes and glass cases. Her cat toy-like hair clip dangled as she walked, catching the man's attention.
"Just for hunting? Sure!" He chirped with a grin and turned his back to her, looking on the shelf that the rifles sat on. "If you don't mind me asking, why do you have a cat toy in your hair?" Asking that, he didn't know she rolled her eyes and looked away, inspecting a dark blue rifle in a glass case on the wall.
"My cat died and I wanted to keep it as something to remember her by." She lied and made her reply sound convincing, as if many people had asked that before. "What about that rifle?" Pointing at it, the guy peered over to the rifle in the glass case and knitted his brows.
"You've got a good eye, that's for sure! If you want it, it'll be this much." He said as he took the rifle out of the case and showed her the price tag.
It baffled her, eyes widened behind those sunglasses but soon narrowed back to normal and sighed. "Wow, this is gonna take more than half of my paycheck... Whatever, it's not like I can't work even harder to get it all back at my job." She stated in her mind and dug in her other pocket, then pulled out her wallet. As she was counting for the specific amount she needed, the television that hung up in the corner behind the clerk jumped to the news.
"Here in City Z, the S rank Demon Cyborg has done it again! He wiped out a monster with one blow and saved an entire football stadium of people who were held captive by the fearful monster!" A woman exclaimed with excitement and to the side in the screen, it showed a cyborg blasting the said enemy to pieces and scorching it to a crisp. He had blonde hair, he seemed familiar... Vei just shook her head at that.
"Here you are miss, happy hunting!" With a joyful smile from the man, Vei grinned faintly and grabbed her purchase. Soon she waltzed out of the store and headed home. Her house wasn't far though, luckily it was a few blocks from the new shop she found so she darted her head around to check for any prying eyes.
"No ones around, good.~ Nothin' beats a short cut!" She grinned, jumped up high and landed on top of the shop. She looked over the entire city, examining everything to see if she could find her home from there. Spotting a small house not too far, she could definitely make out that it was hers. "There is it." Mumbling softly, she ran across the roof and jumped from there to other roofs; No one ever noticed her hopping from building to building. Feeling the soft breeze from the soothing wind as she strolled to her house, an exhale of relief left her nose. She carried that very case with one arm and gripped on to a bar that held up a water tower. Her body swung forward as if she swung on a vine and with ease she swooped beneath it. Her swing was strong enough that it made her glide a bit and with that, she managed to land on the front porch of her house perfectly on her feet.
After a good ten minutes, she was in her house and eating leftovers from last night. It was a fish sandwich, crunchy, crispy and delicious.~ "Now tomorrow, I need to head over to work and for dinner I need to go hunt down some dear then carve its meat out. I just hope Rin doesn't decide to go cause trouble for me... Bad enough I have a hard time finding anything out about my parents, I swear..." She mumbled, took the last bite of her fish and stood from her seat. After she rinsed her dishes off and chugged down some water out of a bottle in the fridge, she headed down the hall not too far from the kitchen.
In her bedroom, she was seen writing a note on her desk that was against the wall. There were stacks of notebooks on the side of the desk. They were full of information, locations to try out and possibilities about anything regarding her parents. She was writing down on the paper, 'Don't do anything stupid Rin, I'm serious!' then she grabbed a notebook off the stack and opened it. She started writing down what time she was going to travel to City Z and when she was, hoping Rin wouldn't get involved... "There... Seriously, she can be a huge pain in my rear sometimes. So far she didn't get caught but man, if they figure out who it is behind the mask, I'll be screwed!" She angrily stated in her mind and frowned deeply, then removed her dark blue rimmed sunglasses. Her cat slits were revealed, showing how furious they were with Rin in her thoughts. "Hate wearing sunglasses outside, it's annoying! Why do people have the need to point out the abnormalities about someone and suddenly call them a monster?! I have to wear these so people can't see my eyes very well!" She angrily gritted her teeth and clamped a fist tightly. Standing from her chair, the woman walked over to her bed and laid down on it, she knew night time was nearing since it was seven o'clock and it bothered her. An arm over her forehead and the other over her stomach, her head laid on its side with hidden thoughts swirling in her mind.
With a soft exhale and a slow shut of her eyes, she drifted off into slumber. Completely unaware of the odd army outside that was reeking havoc. No later than an hour after she fell asleep, the scene showed the protagonist's eyes up close and then suddenly snap awake. Her slits were thinner, eyes wider and more cat-like than what they normally are. Gradually she rose up into a sitting position with an emotionless expression and her eyes seemed as if Vei wasn't even there. The very woman got out of bed, looked around and spotted the note on the desk. Her thin slits read its contents but regardless, she ignored it and walked over to the wardrobe next to the desk.
Opening it, there hanging up was a black and white tiger suit. The top was sleeveless, two black tiger stripes curved around the chest area and on the collar was a black lining. Shorts were sitting just below it, appearing to be the same color and pattern as the top. They were short tight shorts and a black leather belt was still stuck inside the white loops of them. She grabbed them, took off her clothes and put the outfit on; The only things missing now, was her black footwear, white fingerless gloves, black and white leggings as well her black and white arm coverings. Quickly she rushed them all on, slipping on braces that held metal blades that would stick out like claws. They were on her wrists and ankles now. With a simple click of a button hidden beneath her sleeves and just below her palms, those claws would extend; The same went with the ones on her feet, just a specific way of pressing the button on the heel of her foot, those talons would come out. Her footwear were like socks only with padding on the bottom of her feet and a rough texture at that, so she could scale things easier.
She exited the bedroom, made her way into the bathroom that was just across from her and looked into the mirror above the sink. That cat toy-like hair clip got taken out and placed on the sink's edge, then she started putting her hair up into a bun. She used a green and shiny ribbon to tie her hair up, the rest of it just dangled behind her down to the middle of her back. Next she placed her cat mask on, it was shiny like plastic and covered half of her upper face, only leaving her bottom lips and jawline exposed. Two fangs were made with the mask, they laid over her upper hidden lips. Around the eye sockets was black paint that was made to look like eyeliner and the outer corners of eyes curved up. "Don't worry...Vei..." She said in her mind and stared at herself in the mirror. "I won't let my guard slip..." She finished with a low, almost monotonous voice.
