Chapter 1: Genesis

A purple ball of energy flew through the city and crashed into the ground. A lone figure emerged from the crater.

"I am Vaccine Man!" bellowed the tall purple monster to no one in particular. "I am here to cleanse Mother Nature of the humans who are ruining her life force!"

A boy whimpered nearby. Vaccine Man stomped over towards him, leaving indents in the pulverized ground. The boy looked up, terror in his eyes, terrorized by Vaccine Man's unflinching eyes, and screamed, begging for somebody, anybody, to save him. Vaccine Man grinned and crouched over him, extending a hand that pulsed and tumored into a spiky claw. Vaccine Man prepared to smush the kid, until a green glow surrounded the debris around his purple feet.

"Hey! Bitch!" Vaccine Man turned to the sound, looking for the holder of that annoying, high-pitched human voice. After squinting, he finally noticed a small floating girl.

"Hey! Did you hear me, bitch?"

Vaccine Man closed his claw, the spikes lining his fingers tearing through the young boy's flesh as he went limp. "Fuck," whispered the girl. She'd seen lots of people go out this way; it came with the job. The purple monster released his grip, letting chunks of flesh slide off his hand and onto the ground.

"What do you want, child?" snarled Vaccine Man.

"One, I'm not a child, and two, your head!"

Giant pieces of rubble lifted off the ground and hurled themselves at the monster. He buckled under their impact and tried to shield himself with his giant claw. With one final burst of telekinetic energy, the remnants of an office building were dropped onto what was now a pile of twisted rebar and broken concrete.

"I'm 18, by the way." But before she could float away, the pile of rubble exploded, sending pieces of jagged metal and boulders of plaster in every direction. Her psychically enhanced reactions just barely saved her from a slab of stucco.

"Ha ha ha, I always wondered who protected your race." The rest of Vaccine Man's body had transformed to match his spiny hand. He resembled more of a bug now, albeit a 60-foot tall bug, with his plates of exoskeletanic armor, massively protruding antennae, and bulging, colorless eyeballs. His legs primed up like a sprinter and he rushed forward toward the girl with blazing speed. The acceleration dug a ditch into the ground behind him, and a sonic boom followed. All of a sudden, she was caught in his fist, the same one that had crushed the boy from before.

"Is this what's been stopping Earth's servants? What a joke."

The lifeless head of the boy lolled its lifeless tongue around, impaled on one of the spikes next to her. She used her powers to try and break free from his grasp, but only succeeded in snapping the spines that were enclosing on her.

"Nnnng," she grunted, trying desperately to push back against the grip. By chance, she noticed an impressively large and impressively sharp steel beam lying on the ground. In a last resort, she flung the beam into Vaccine Man's horribly fleshy right eye.

"Aaaaarrrgh!" he screamed, letting go of the girl as he brought both his hands to his face. He continued to scream and, still attempting to hold in smelly and gushy eye fluids with his left hand, he removed his right hand from his face and crawled around like an interpretive dancer. He then lunged again at the girl, who dodged and threw another piece of metal at his remaining eye. Vaccine Man, learning his lesson, made sure to cover his face with his hard-plated hand. She kept on backing away as he three-limb crawled at an impressive speed, hurling more and more debris to keep the monster away. What she needed to do was get him to uncover his face.

In the distance, a skyscraper began crumbling. Instinctively, she flew towards it, with Vaccine Man in tow. When she arrived, she noticed the ground vibrating, as if it might cave in. With all her telekinetic might, she lifted the crumbling skyscraper up and shouted.

"Come and get me, you bug brained fuck!"

Vaccine Man, already crawling at her, stood up and began sprinting, free hand waving around and displaying its bloody spikes. Just as he got to her, she flew up into the air and threw the building down at him.

"Is that it?" He grabbed the building with one hand and tossed it to the side. "I underestimated you earlier, but now I'll make sure you d—" he roared before falling into a massive chasm that opened under the weight of him and the force of the building's impact. His hands flailed as he fell, and the girl, saving the spire of the skyscraper for this moment, launched it at his uncovered eye. It pierced straight through, like a needle to a balloon, and then caved a hole right out of the back of his skull. His lifeless body thudded as it hit the sides of the ravine, before coming to rest when the ravine walls became too narrow.
