Chapter 2.
Hey everyone. Back with another chapter.
This chapter will be short, but it will be extremely critical to the trilogy.
BTW, this entire fic is best read when listening to "Satisfya" by Imran Khan.
Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, followed or favirouted this fic so far.

On with the show.

Jenna's POV.
Following the fight in the alleyway against the creatures that I had discovered were vampires, I had met a man called Blade.
He was one of the mysterious types; you know what I'm saying?
We had snuck into the hospital, as we needed to kill some vampire dude named Quinn who was coming back to life.
I know, it's a long story and don't ask.
Blade had armed us with wooden stakes to kill the vampires.
Matt, Blade and I moved into the hospital, as we heard screams.
"What the hell?" I asked in alarm.
Blade cursed.
"It's Quinn, come on" Blade said and rushed forward, with Matt and I in close pursuit.
We got into the hospital and somehow, not a single person noticed that a vigilante was in the hospital.
Maybe that was because the burning dude was pretty distracting.
He looked like a flaming, rotting zombie.
"Out of my way!" the man formally known as Quinn roared as he prepared to rush past us.
Matt brandished his club and I drew an arrow and notched it to my bow.
Quinn snarled and leapt at us but I dodged and fired the arrow, which caught Quinn in the side.
He grabbed Matt and lifted him up by the throat, before slamming him to the ground.
I rushed forward and kicked Quinn, sending him backwards.
I then tried to elbow him in a rotary motion but Quinn head-butted me backwards.
He then leapt and pulled me into a vicious head-lock, and I tried to shake him off, which was nearly impossible.
"Now Daredevil!" I shouted.
Matt then threw his stake at Quinn and it impaled him right where his heart would be.
I pushed the stake further in and he disintegrated in a green light along with his skeleton.
"Good job" Matt complemented.
"Thanks Daredevil. You too" I said breathlessly.
I then noticed something out of the corner of my eye.
It was a bright white gem.
"Go on, I'll catch up with you now" I said to Matt.
He looked sceptical for a few moments before nodding and moving.
I walked up to the white gem and knelt on the ground and touched it.
That was a huge mistake.
The moment I touched the gem, I felt a searing pain enter my body.
There are no words to describe it; it was just like I was being burnt with chemicals.
I let out an earth-shattering scream of pain.
It felt as if something was ripping me open, and crawling inside me.
The gem crumbled to dust in my hand and I felt like passing out from the pain.
I noticed Matt out of the corner of my eye, rushing to me, concerned.
That moment, I passed out.
When I opened my eyes, I was in some sort of white landscape with a grey backdrop. It had stone ruins surrounding me.
"What the hell?" I asked in a mixture of confusion and worry.
The ground in front of me shifted and moved, forming a mini tornado.
The tornado dissipated and standing in front of me, was an identical copy of me.
But it was vastly different.
The doppelganger that had formed had eyes that were slits.
And those slits were flaming purple.
And the creature had horns on its head.
"What the hell are you?" I asked in horror.
"Oh you don't recognize me Jenna? I'm your worst nightmare" the creature mocked in a deep voice.
I shivered.
This thing was damn terrifying.
"Call me…Nemesis. And you will lose girl. You will be mine" the creature called Nemesis said.
This was freaky as hell.
"I don't think so" I said defiantly.
Nemesis let out a deep and evil laugh.
"Oh poor Jenna, always thinking you can succeed. Well this is one fight you won't win" Nemesis said.
"Oh I will" I declared.
"Oh really? You couldn't even save your version of Natasha Romanoff" Nemesis mocked.
I felt my anger rising.
"Don't you dare mention her name" I snarled.
"Oh why not? She would be ashamed of you, considering the fact that you hunted Red Guardian down and killed him with your bare fists" Nemesis mocked.
"So? Nat was killed by Red Guardian. And I killed him. How is that my fault?" I asked.
"Because everything around you dies. Key example being your old friend Rick Mason, who paid the price for knowing you" Nemesis mocked.
Rick was dead?
He was like my older brother. And he was one of the people who trained me to fight. But how was he dead?
"He's dead?" I asked in shock.
"Of course. He was killed by the Red Room after you abandoned him" Nemesis confirmed.
Natasha's death was what motivated me to become a mercenary and honour her memory.
"I know that they are dead. But no matter what you say, it was not my fault" I declared.
"Keep telling yourself that" Nemesis replied, and vanished.
I passed out again.
When I awoke again, I heard voices speaking but I was still too weak to tell who it was.
"Take it easy Jenna" I heard Matt say above me.
"What the hell happened?" I groaned in pain.
"You passed out. I don't know what happened but your hand was badly burnt" Matt informed me.
That was when I noticed Blade as well as an old man standing in front of the table I was lying on.
"Who's the old guy?" I asked, still feeling numb.
"Whistler" the old man introduced himself.
"I'm a friend of Blade" he then said.
"You need to rest, if you are going to be of any help" Matt informed me.
I wanted to protest, but I was way too injured to argue.
So I closed my eyes and waited for the pain to disappear.
I heard a voice in my head that sounded like Nemesis ordering me to kill Matt.
I tried to resist the voice but it was difficult.
Hopefully I could resist whatever this was.
And Chapter 2 is done. I hope you all enjoyed it.
Similar to The Devil and the Daywalker, Quinn gets offed much quicker than in canon as I think that if Matt and Jenna were there, they could have killed him quicker.
Now that white gem was the Ego Stone. Those of you who have read A Legend Never Dies would remember that I briefly referenced the Ego Stone in Chapter 8.
The Ego Stone is said to hold the ancient and evil spirit known as Nemesis inside it so in this trilogy it is a containment unit for Nemesis.
As for what is going to happen between Jenna and Nemesis…well you're just going to have to wait and see.
And now you know about some of Jenna's back-story. So, Earth-1 Natasha is dead and was killed by Red Guardian. Earth-1 Rick Mason is also dead. But Earth-1 Natasha might show up at some point in either this fic or the sequel through either flashbacks, magic or time travel.
Next chapter will involve a lot of fighting, so I hope you're all excited.
Until next time, review, follow, faviroute, stay tuned and tell me what you think of this chapter.
