The Big Apple turns Rotten Apple!
Nighttime, usual the time when people look at the beautiful night sky for a little while before going to bed and their minds wonder in dreamland until the next morning came. Although there are other people who enjoy staying up late as the big city of New York and all its glory shining lights that brightens the dark times for everyone to see and have some fun, but the people of New York are about to experience something dark.
Up high, standing on top of the head of Lady Liberty is a lone figure giving the shape to be a woman, she wears a blue mechanic uniform with a red bandana on her head, as she stares down with her clear blue eyes at the city and the people enjoying their life as if they don't have a care in the world, and she doesn't like that one bit.
Meanwhile, in another location a woman is waking up from laying on the grass close to the water as she groans in pain from a headache.
"Ouch, man, is this what it's like to get a hangover from drinking too much booze?" The woman asked herself as she sat on her butt. The darkness makes things hard to describe her appearance.
"Wait, wasn't I… on a boat trying to kill that man and then I… died?" The woman confused, trying to figure out what's going on and look at her left arm to see a silver gauntlet-like bracelet with three fingers and a blue jewel.
"No way, this is my Cloneblade… but how?" The woman asked herself, feeling a little freak out right now.
The woman decided to look around thinking just standing around while trying to figure out the impossible isn't going to help and she gets the weird feeling that she's not in Tokyo anymore, then she spotted the Statue of Liberty standing tall all green and important.
"The Statue of Liberty, then that must mean I'm somewhere in New York city which also means I'm in America somehow." The woman figured out where she is, but the question still remains of how she even got here in the first place. Better yet how is she even alive now.
"Wait, if I'm here then does that mean… Doctor Renia is alive too?" The woman asked.
Her questioning thoughts got interrupted when she notices the Statue of Liberty isn't looking so green like its supposed to be and then dark demonic aura starts consuming the whole thing in a few seconds.
"What the hell?! I'm pretty sure that weird stuff isn't part of the Big Apple." The woman shocked.
Back on top of the now dark consuming statue, the Dark woman spread her arms apart letting the dark aura into her body.
"Now… all will face the Liberty of Death." The woman said.

"Wow, it's only been a week since our first mission and I'm already feeling like a proud!" Masane stated as she and Rihoko are looking toward the horizon on the balcony of the apartment.
"Easy mom, it was only our first mission, you know things will get a lot harder from here." Rihoko lectured.
"I know, I know, I just can't help but feel excited that I no longer have to worry about losing control of my Witchblade and I can fight better thanks to Jack's training!" Masane said, the training Jack was a little brutal, but she kept going no matter how many times she gets down.
"I'm happy for you though it makes me wonder about the Witchblade in my hand, do you think I can control it?" Rihoko asked, feeling a little worried as she remembers how savage her adopted mom was when she saw her fighting.
"Well, Witchblade, back before it became two for each of us, was originally going to be yours even before you were born, so I guess you might have some control over it. Believe me, it's not easy when you transform." Masane explained, remembering how her personality changes when she transforms and fight.
Rihoko knows what her mom is thinking, back in the days when she was the only one wielding the Witchblade and she had to keep everything she did like the battles she went through a secret to keep her little girl safe from harm, and now the girl little has her own Witchblade as it meant to be which would make Masane worry if she try to use it. Rihoko hopes when the day does come for her to use this Witchblade, she'll be able to use it to protect her mommy in return and they can fight together on the battlefield too.
She is also glad for her father Reiji letting her take some martial art classes too back in her old world.
"Hey, girls!" Mika greeted, appearing behind the mother and daughter unexpecting which made them jump and Masane almost falling over the balcony. With Rihoko's help, she was able to avoid the fall of death.
"Silly Masane, don't you know that's dangerous if you're not careful." Mika giggled.
"And who's fault is that?!" Masane shouted at her boss.
"I take it you have a mission for us?" Rihoko asked.
"Yep! Get ready guys because the job will in New York City!" Mika informed, excitingly loud.
"No way! Did you hear that sweetie, we're going to the Big Apple!" Masane cheered as she lifts Rihoko up.
"Awesome, I knew we were in America when we came from my wish, so this will be my first time seeing New York!" Rihoko excited.
"The full explanation will be given at the office, so go get Jack and head down!" Mika said before exiting the room very fast like she has super speed.
"I believe Jack is taking a nap at the bed, I'll go on ahead while you good wake him up." Rihoko suggested as she walks away.
"What, why do I got to be his wake-up call?" Masane asked.
"I just thought is would be you since you two always sleep together in bed every night." Rihoko answered with a teasing giggle.
"He-Hey, there won't any third bed and it wouldn't be right to let him sleep on the couch or the floor!" Masane protested whatever thought her daughter is thinking of. The little adult-girl was already gone.
Masane let out a heavy sigh and just went to the bedroom to find Jack snoring a little loud with his back touching the soft mattress, she has admit that Jack does look cute and peaceful when he's sleeping like that almost like he's just a normal teenage without any problems with monsters and other major bad stuff.
"Hey Jack, come on, it's time to wake up." Masane said, shaking the silver-haired boy.
"Shut it… you damn, rabbit girl…" Jack talked in his sleep.
"Aw, how cute, he must like rabbits." Masane said.
"Don't make me… pull your ears, Masane…" Jack sleeping said.
"And he's dreaming about me… WAIT! I'm the rabbit girl?!" Masane gasped with her face turning red, realizing Jack is dreaming about her.
In Jack's dream, Masane is dress in a dark-purple sexy bunny suit with red bunny ears.
"Okay, Jack, seriously, your mom got a mission for us and we need to get down there now!" Masane tried to force Jack to wake up, but it didn't work.
Then Jack's arms grab onto Masane's breasts much to her shock and starts groping her while still sleeping.
"Damn woman, I wonder if these cows can get bigger." Jack chuckled.
"AAAHH! Jack, you stupid pervert killer! Stop, we have to-AAAH!" Masane gasped moaning as the boy's hands are giving her tits a firm squeeze and moving them around.
"(My God! I never knew his hand feels so good, I can even feel them through my shirt and bra!)" Masane thought moaned, trying to fight off the feeling but it was too good to stop it. Then she thought of an idea that might wake Jack up.
"Jack, your mom has a new target to kill!" Masane yelled in hopes that would work.
The second she said that, Jack's hands came off the large fleshy melons much to Masane's relief as the boy sat up letting out a big yawn while stretching his arms up.
"Man, that was a heck of a dream." Jack smiled and notice Masane is in the room.
"Oh, hey there brown cow." Jack greeted with a nickname he just came up.
"HEY! Don't call me that just because I have big boobs!" Masane snapped, clearly not liking the nickname as she covers her breasts her arms and Jack enjoys the reaction.
(KID Office)
With Jack and Masane finally arriving to the office and the sun about to set, they see a man with brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a dark green janitor uniform with a hat, he appears to have some muscles on him though not as much.
"Here is the person I want you to kill." The janitor man showed them the picture of the woman from the beginning of the chapter.
"I take it she what's been going on at New York from the News I saw this morning?" Mika asked, the janitor nodded
"Wait, why didn't you tell us this morning about this?" Masane asked.
"Because I got when I saw this cute cartoon show!" Mika answered bluntly. Lucky for her, the janitor called her for a meeting of the job.
"(She's an adult-child.)" Masane and Rihoko thought the same thing.
"Umm, she looks like a woman I learned from history class." Mika recalled some.
"That's because she always admired Rosie the Riveter, wanting to be like her even her parents named her that." The janitor mentioned.
"Wait, isn't Rosie the Riveter just a cultural icon from World War II?" Rihoko recalled reading about it online once.
"Yes, but to Rosie, she's her hero for being the inspiration for women everywhere who work hard like any other men. Rosie worked harder than anyone I know and always gets the job done, while other girls prefer wearing makeup and pretty dress, she chose getting her hands dirty and never lost that smile." The janitor explained about Rosie.
"Wow, you must've known her for a long time." Masane noticed how the janitor praises Rosie.
"Perhaps, we've known each other when we met during summer vacation before our first year in high school. Rosie also like the equal standard between men and women, wanting to help everyone in need and never ask for anything in return, she's a true gentle woman through and through." The janitor smiled, but the smile quickly turns into deep sadness.
"However, last month, Rosie started acting different. The smiling-strong woman everyone knew had changed though she still works hard, but she kept her distance from everyone. It's like something… dark changed her." The janitor clenched onto his hat and shake in fear.
Everyone in the room knew what happened to Rosie, she's been affected by the Dark Matter.
"That's when it happened, last night Rosie told me last night when we were at the statue of Liberty that "I'm going to pass the Liberty of Death to the city" and she suddenly disappeared into a dark mist right before my eyes, then the statue itself changed into a monster." The janitor revealed which made him feel scared again.
"I see, sounds like the woman lost her fighting spirit and gave up hope." Jack stated.
"I wonder what could've happened to her that would make her this way?" Masane asked, wondering if there's more to do than what's going on.
"I might've been about the night last month though I don't know all the details, all I know is that Rosie saw something that change her forever." The janitor mentioned.
"Well, looks like we got a Big Apple to save." Jack joked and being serious at the same time.
"Just time the payment we agreed on." Mika reminded the janitor.
"Yes, of course." The janitor nodded.
(New York)
Jack's team took the fastest airplane they can get to New York and made their way to where the destruction is happen, when they got their it's nighttime and everything seems a little quiet, but the light of a moon shines down and some street lights to show the streets they arrive have are mostly destroyed.
"Looks like the Wires have really made a mess of this place." Jack commented.
"I hope the people got out safely." Rihoko concerned for the people who lived here.
"Don't worry, that's why we're here to make sure everyone stays alive!" Masane reassured her daughter's worry.
"The job… Killer is Dead." Jack said starting the mission as Masane transforms into her Witchblade form.
The three ran through the busted up street seeing feeling like the whole block and more is deserted with all the buildings looking busted up with holes and cracks on them, the way they look the team knows better it was the work of the wires, also noticing the some claw marks they see too.
"I studied the layout and the streets of the city, just a couple blocks down then make a right." Rihoko said, without she's actually catching to the others pretty well as they were going faster.
"Got it." Jack responded.
The three turn right after two blocks, but suddenly Jack move his head to his right to avoid a sudden laser blast that was aiming for his head but hit a building instead. They see the attacker to be a large, red floating eyeball creature covered in protruding spikes.
"Looks like a Red Eye." Jack said readying his sword as a few more Red Eyes showed up.
"They look weaker than the ones we fought in Australia." Masane mocked as she licks her arm-blade.
"They usual are, the problem is the leader who summons them called a Dark Eye." Jack explained before charging at one.
The Red Eye fire its Dark Matter energy blast at Jack, but the boy dodges them and slice it in two then went for the next one, Masane follow his lead to one Red Eye and jumps high to dodge the laser blast and stab her arm-blade from above killing it then throws its body to another as it was about to fire at Jack but misfired to a fire hydrant. Jack jumps at the stun Red Eye to attack with some slashing combos before finishing it off, Jack's instinct kicks in when his arms move to deflect a laser blast from a new Red Eye that just appeared along with some more.
Rihoko looks around to see if she can find this Dark Eye, then spotted that is like the Red Eyes but bigger, covered in a mass of metallic tendrils on the top and fleshy, deformed underbellies that appear to be filled with smaller eyeballs.
"Guys, I found the Dark Eye!" Rihoko called out, that also alerted the Dark Eye as it spotted the girl.
The eyeball creature fires a blast at her, Rihoko saw that coming and manage to dodge it and pulls out a gun.
"(If I can keep it distracted, it won't summon more and enough for Jack and Mommy to deal with it.)" Rihoko thought planned as she fires at the Dark Eye, even though the bullets barely put a scratch on it.
The Dark Eye fires at Rihoko as she runs to avoid the shots as she fires back, but she trips on a rock as the eyeball creature fire at her. Rihoko try to dodge but there was no time as her life is about to end.
"RIHOKO?!" Masane screamed, not wanting to lose her girl again.
Then suddenly something came out of the shadows grab Rihoko under one arm.
"Sheesh, if you're having this much trouble then you just as weak as ever." A woman mocked and she slice the Dark Eye down the middle with a large scythe-like blade on the left arm as it comes apart in two.
"Wait, that blade…" Masane recognized.
The woman has blue and cyan armor very familiar to Masane's Witchblade form, pale white-blue hair and eyes with black color on the outside of the pupil. Breasts sizes: HH-cup.
"Shiori Tsuzuki!" Masane shocked along with Rihoko.
"I thought it was strange that I found myself alive and my Cloneblade started reacting like crazy, then I found you here. Surprise to see me, Masane Amaha?" Shiori smirked.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
