Chapter 2- On The Prowl:
Moriko:
I kept flying and I didn't care how much it hurt to do so. It was my mission- the most important thing. Besides, I went through a lot of trouble to get this far so I should keep going.
I had a goofy grin on my face as I continued to fly. I was so happy to be free again- to be out of that hell hole... To see Kato again.
Besides, with her, we can take down the Facility once and for all. The Facility was a hell hole- simple as that. It was just hell and it was... horrifying. It was torture... Kato and I spent a lot of years at the one in America- well, she did. My years were spent at the one in France. They were just as worse.
Still, it was in France where I met Reve and she was so helpful- her and her boyfriend, Iopov. She helped us both escape and it was her boyfriend that was able to find Kato for me.
It was imperative that I get to Kato to warn her about the Facility. They were looking for her. Her, Reve, and I- maybe even Iopov- all of us together... we were going to give Hell it's own hell.
Still, at the moment, I was on the prowl for my best friend.
When I finally arrived in New York, I was frustrated. It was such a bit city- there was no way that I could find Kato. I knew that she was apart of that superhero team with Spiderman or something- I read that online. Yet, how could I find her? How could I summon her? Where would she be?
I looked down at all the little dots- the people. There was so many of them. There was so many tall buildings that it was even difficult for me to fly so high up where I couldn't be spotted. I was so used to the small village and the woods that I had spent my childhood in with Kato. I was used to isolation so being in New York city was bit overwhelming to say the least. And claustrophobic...
I crinkled my nose, and do they realize how much they're polluting Earth? All the smog, the pollution... it's disgusting.
I felt sick just thinking about it. I spotted a park below and swooped down with grace. It might've been a city park, but it was still a park. It still had trees. It still had fresh air- sort of.
Now, I just need to find Kato... Unless...
A wicked grin spread across my face. She's with a superhero team and just how to summon superheroes? You create a commotion... She's so gonna kill me for this, but it's not like I'm really going to do a crime or hurt someone.
Third Person:
It was a bright sunny day in the Big Apple, and it seemed like everything was going almost perfect.
Almost.
The team was fighting the Sinister Six in the middle of Manhattan, which more or less ruined everyone's moods.
Currently, it was Tiger and Kato against Kraven the Hunter, Electro against Nova and Creature, Rhino going toe to toe with Animal, Power Man helping Iron Fist take down the Lizard, and Spidey going against Doctor Octopus.
"Is that all you got, Elephant," Animal taunted as she squeezed his hands harder, forcing him more towards the ground.
"Not even close," he yelled. Animal smirked.
"I was made to kill the Hulk with one hand and strangle Captain America with the other. If you think I'm backing down against you then you're wrong."
Rhino was on his knees now, so Animal let go with her left hand and punched him in the face, sending him flying couple feet back. He got up groggily, holding his face in his hand. He growled at her and charged.
Creature, who was fighting Electro with Nova, was kind of having fun messing with him. Of course, all of this electricity he was taking in was not good for his fur. But he wasn't really even trying to fight him. He was only messing with him to distract him from Nova, who had flown high in the air, and was now coming down like the human rocket he was. It kind of reminded him of Johnny Storm, the Human Torch.
Nova slammed his fists onto Electro's shoulders, sending him crumpling to the ground, satisfied at his now broken collarbone.
"Take that, Lightbulb!"
Electro landed with a sickening thud. He high-fived Creature and flew off to help Spider-Man with Doctor Octopus, while Creature went to help his twin.
"Ah, come on, Doc," Spider-Man taunted, "is it really this hard to catch an itsy-bitsy Spider-Man?"
Oc growled and lunged for him again, but Spidey was too fast for him. He dodged all of the arms coming towards him, slowly getting closer and closer to the mad doctor. Oc gasped and growled.
"Spectacular," he exclaimed.
"Amazing!" Spider-Man said, punching Oc in the face.
He stumbled back, and was taken off guard as Nova came up behind him and launched him forward, sending the poor Doctor's face against the cement.
Creature stood by as Animal kicked Rhino in the face.
"I don't know, sis. It looks like you have it taken care of," he said teasingly.
"You've been hanging with Hawkeye to much," she grunted.
Creature laughed slightly and pounced on Rhino's shoulders, sending him back to the ground.
"Now," Animal panted, "You're going to stay down, Elephant."
Before Rhino could bark a her for purposefully getting his name wrong, she kicked him hard in the face, and he crumpled to the ground, unconscious.
"I should wear steel toed combat boots more often."
Creature nodded in approval. Then, he stepped slightly to left just before Kraven hit him. Kraven hit the ground with a thud. White Tiger and Kato both shared triumphal grins.
"I always hated hunters," Kato commented.
"Ditto," White Tiger agreed.
"Tall and green and ugly is headin' your way," Power Man called out the warning just as Kato jumped up.
Lizard, who had been hoping to tackle her, growled as she jumped onto his back. Her nails sank into his shoulders as she kept her grip.
"Guys," Kato growled.
"Got it," Spidey said as he webbed Lizard's eyes.
Kato nodded with approval and hit Lizard's head with all of her might, her nails digging in. Lizard hit the ground with a thud.
"Huh," Animal mused, "Your nails must be pretty strong to dig through that skin...scales?"
"Yep," Kato smiled, "Well... Looks like another mission done. Time to relax."
She popped her back just as Spiderman sighed,
"Relaxing will have to wait. Coulson sent another mission. Apparently, there's a newbie in Central Park causing a bit of chaos."
"How," Animal asked curiously, though she was a bit upset since she couldn't smell the new comer since she was too far away.
"Plants- he says it's like a jungle."
A tingle of familiarity spiraled inside of Kato, along with a strange feeling. She forced a smirk,
"Well, let's go see, shall we?"
