"C'mon, where are you?" a girl with a railgun in her hand was rushing through the streets, jumping to the buildings and running on the walls, then changing direction and going through alleys, only stopping to look around her.
"Where are you?" Her eyes got a metallic grey shade and green lines going towards the iris appeared.
"Found ya!" As she was looking, a red silhouette of a girl appeared in the distance.
"Gotta love this skill." She reloaded her railgun, causing a distinctive sound to be heard "Let's rock!" She jumped in the air…

"Aten-HUT!" A man dressed in military clothes yelled. All the man and women in front of him stood up straight and saluted him.
"You survived your 4 years of hard training, and finished Greece's best military school there is. You can now proudly call yourself soldiers! I salute you!" The man put up his hand saluting them back. All of them cheered and scattered off to celebrate this occasion.
"Private Helena! I want to have a word with you." The man called for a girl with pink hair who was just walking off. The girl turned around and approached him.
"I wanted to give you this." He gave her a letter with the army seal on it.
"The generals want to talk to you. If all goes well, I expect you to be a sergeant next year." He looked at her with a serious look, and then loosened up." How old are you girl?" He looked at the letter, and then at her.
"What…I mean, Sir, 21 Sir!" She got serious all of the sudden.
"Relax private, you're not under my supervision anymore." He laughed"21 you say? Impressive. Well, go! You don't want to keep the higher ups waiting do you?"
"Sir, no Sir. I mean, no sir." The girl smiled" She went to her room to get a good night's sleep and to pack her bags. In the morning, as she was heading towards the bus, Helena saw the sergeant yelling at some newly arrived students.
"Boy, where you from?" He shouted at a blonde kid.
"Solun Sir!" He shouted back.
"Solun you say? Well I know that only bulls and fags come from Solun." He walked around the boy"I don't see any horns on you, so it must be the other one." He shouted while standing before the boy. Helena laughed as she was boarding the train.
The next day Helena was sitting in a small room with 4 generals, each older then the other, and all angrier then the previous. They all had their eyes on her.
"We'll have to think about your application. We'll call you tomorrow. You may leave." The general with moustache said to her. She got up and left the room.
"We can't let a girl like her become a sergeant. It's unheard off!"
"I agree. Even though her resume is impressive, she's just too young!"
"So it's settled then? We tell her she's been rejected?"
"Hmph. I'll go take a walk." The fourth general got up and left the room. He caught up with Helena and asked her to talk to him.
"You know, the odds are against you. None of the other 3 generals want to accept you."
"So it's decided?"
"Well…"He touched her hand." I might be able to change their minds…"he looked at her chest." If you give me something in return, that is."
She slapped him, and used her other hand to knock him down on the floor.
"Get away from me you pervert!" She ran away. The next day she got a reply saying she's been denied from the position of sergeant. She was so angry at the generals.
"Fuck, they can't do this to me!" She started throwing things around, eventually trashing her apartment completely. Tears went dropping down her cheeks. The only thing left to destroy was the phone. She grabbed hold of it, when it rang. She answered it.
"Hello?"
"I know that they rejected you. I know all about it." A rough male voice spoke on the other end.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
"It's not what I want Psycho. It's what YOU want." The voice replied.
"Are you stalking me? Tell me who are you!" She yelled.
"It doesn't matter. All you need to know is that I can offer you revenge. Meet me by the pier tomorrow at 7 PM." The voice hung up, and the only thing that could be heard was the deadly silence in the apartment, and the beeping of the phone. Helena was now torn apart. She didn't know what to do next, and if she should go to the pier. She laid down on the trashed floor, and fell asleep.
Tomorrow she took a taxi to the pier, arriving 1 hour ahead, just in case. She sat down on a nearby bench, and looked at her watch. It was 6.05 PM. She waited for an hour, but no one came. When the clock ticked 7.01 PM she got up. Thinking this was just some cruel prank, she started walking away. But then the nearby payphone rang. She stopped.
"Should I pick it up?" She thought to herself. Suddenly she turned around and picked up the phone." Hello?"
"You're cautious I see." The voice said as Helena looked everywhere around her. "Don't worry, I'm not anywhere near you." She kept turning and a moment later, her eyes stopped on a camera pointed at her." Wave to the camera darling." The voice on the other part said." Look behind the payphone, you'll see a small box. Inside is a paper with the location of a sniper rifle, ammo, the location of Stolakis, the pervert who was hitting on you, a frag and a flash grenade. He'll be at that location in 3 days. I expect you to kill him." The voice was gone again, leaving behind a repetitive beep once more.
She dropped the phone, and looked for a box. After finding it, she took it with her back to her apartment.
"You're dead, motherfucker!" She thought to herself. The next day she went to the location, an empty container next to a beauty parlor, at the same address as it was written on the paper. She took the gun and ammo, and drove off to the small hotel where Stolakis was supposed to be. She had 2 days to scout out the place and to prepare herself. 2 days later, she was comfortably sitting on a chair, in the building opposite of the hotel. She looked through the sniper's scope as Stolakis and at least 2 dozen body guards arrived. She couldn't get a clear shot, as she anticipated. So she waited for Stolakis to enter the hotel, and then she pressed a button, causing the planted flash bomb to explode, sending an alarm off and attracting the attention of the body guards. Almost all of them entered the building, and Stolakis was now getting out of the hotel, with only 4 body guards. An easy target, just as she predicted. She took her aim and sent a bullet swirling through the nearby light post, shredding a part of the bullet, and the other part ending in Stolakis's guts, causing him to faint in pain.
"Let's see if you hit on me again!" She reloaded the gun, and shot another bullet, this one directly in his heart.
"Heh." She walked out of the hotel as all of the bodyguards were in panic. Dumping the ammo and sniper in a container, and went looking for a taxi. As she got in the taxi, she pressed a button on a small switch, causing the container to explode.
"Well done." The voice said on her cell phone." Want another one of them?"
"Who?" She asked as she was driving in a taxi.
"The one with the moustache. He's having a tour through the old history museum. A bunch of bodyguards, but it shouldn't be very hard." The voice was gone again.
"To the history museum please." She ordered the taxi driver. After arriving, she went looking around the museum, as she had no weapons at hand. Eventually, she went across and old revolver, left from WWI. Helena broke the glass and picked up the revolver. An alarm went off, so she had to be quick. With a thief's mastery, she walked out of the room and ran into the general. He didn't saw her, but Helena saw him. She looked at the revolver, and it had 2 bullets. Aiming with the first one, she took out the guard who was blocking her view, and with the other, she shot him in the throat, literally tearing his head off. She had her revenge, but the bodyguards saw her. She started running as the 4 bodyguards left went after her. She escaped them by a thread, hiding in her apartment. Her phone rang again.
"Now what do you want?"
"Hi Helena." A girl's voice could be heard.
"Who the hell…"
"An old friend. Say, I heard you like S4. Am I right?" The voice asked. Helena looked at her trashed computer.
"Yes, so what?" She answered frustrated.
"Well, I got an invitation for the eSper city, but I think you need it more then I do." A paper airplane went through the broken window, and into Helena's hands. She unfolded it to see an invitation card with the name Psycho on it.
"Hope I helped. See ya there!" The voice disappeared.
Helena took the code and took the first flight to the city. She changed her style of clothing, and hoped no one would know who she really was, or what she had done. After some time, when the eSper challenge was announced, her name was announced as well. By then she had become one of the best. Preferring long range, she was one of the few who used the gauss rifle. She went rushing through the streets, looking for the opponent on her watch.
"C'mon, where are ya?" She was running through the streets and walls, changing direction every few moments.
"Found ya!" She reloaded her railgun and jumped up on a nearby building…
