Chapter III: Purple Trailer / I'm Not Just A Pretty Face
Teresa, a black haired girl, was walking down the street when she saw some of Torchwick's thugs robbing a young woman. She walked up to the thugs and said, "Leave her alone," in a solemn, yet assertive, voice.
The thugs turned around and laughed. "Are you kidding me," one said. Another asked, "This little girl thinks she can tell us what to do?" The leader walked up to the girl, saying, "You've got a big mouth, but you're just a pretty face." He raises his hand to slap her when she grabs his wrist and twists it behind his back. She whispered into his ear, "I'm not just a pretty face." With that she released him and punched him in the face, knocking him unconscious.
"Boss!," the thugs exclaimed. One pulled a gun on the girl who messed with his boss, but he found himself on the ground, unable to move, before he could pull the trigger. The last thug held a red machete, but was trembling in fear. Teresa looked at him with menacing purple eyes, and he ran away screaming.
The girl muttered to herself, "That's right, lead me to your hideout." She leapt up to a rooftop and started following the criminal back to his friends. He stopped at a warehouse by the docks, banging on the door to be let in. She went to the roof of the warehouse and found a skylight. The conversation inside was intense.
"You were beat up by who?" said one of the thugs inside. The panting thug Teresa tailed repeated, "Some black haired chick walked up to us when we were robbing this lady we found on the street. The boss was about to put her in her place when she pinned him, whispered something in his ear, and knocked him out. Johnny was about to shoot her but she ninja kicked him into a wall. After that, I got the heck out of there and came here."
"What did the girl look like?" one of the senior thugs asked. The shaken thug said, "She had white skin, her black hair was in a braid, and she had purple eyes." "She's also standing right behind you." said a familiar voice. Everyone jumped back, turning around to see a girl with a black braid and purple eyes. "You again!", the shaken thug exclaimed. Another thug said,"This is the lady who beat down the boss and Johnny?" Teresa smiled grimly. "So you heard about what happened," the girl said,"So you know what happens next right?" "We kill you. Get her boys!", said one of thugs that was able to gather his senses. The other criminals around him snapped out of it, drawing a variety of weapons.
Teresa deployed the blades built into the bracers that covered her forearms, saying,"Bad move, boys." A thug with a red ax charged. She blocked his swing with her blades and kicked him in the side of his head with her heel. Then, it began.
They were coming from all directions at once, but none of them were able to touch her. She used backflips, cartwheels, and all sorts of acrobatic tricks to avoid their blows, while also using her blades and feet to fight back. One of them had a blade locked with hers. She electrified the blade and shocked him. Some thugs had guns and took aim. Teresa backflipped into the rafters, retracted the blades, activated the rotating machine gun function of her bracers and opened fire on the thugs below. They all took cover from the gunfire. She jumped and landed on one of them.
Soon, all of Torchwick's goons were lying on the floor, unconscious. Except for the one that Teresa had let go before. "Thanks for the directions.", she says to him. "W-w-w-who are you?", the quivering thug asked. Teresa walked away, saying,"The girl who isn't just a pretty face."
