Later that day, Amber was walking to the store to get some things for her mom, when all of a sudden a giant dinosaur appeared, destroying one of the buildings. People ran screaming, and Amber saw a person with red hair floating by the T-Rex. Wait a minute… That looks too big to be a T-Rex. I might be wrong, but that looks more like… a Gigantasaurus! Amber thought. A Gigantasaurus was somewhere between 5-10x larger than a T-Rex. And that person is dressed just like the woman that attacked me two years ago! But how did she get a DINOSAUR here, for crying out loud! Amber realized that she didn't have time to figure it out.
It's time to put my powers to the test! Amber found a small alley way and dashed to it. Amber took off her jacket, jeans, and shirt, and, since her leotard had been underneath her clothes, she pulled on her skirt, vest, and boots out of her messenger style bag and put them on as fast as she could. For the final touch, she put on her gold braid clips and stuck her half-mask on her face. Leaving her bag with her other clothes in it, she ran out of the alley and threw a golden energy ball at the person. It hit the woman square on the back.
The ninja woman turned around. "What? Who are you!"
"I'm the one who makes sure monsters don't destroy Tokyo! It's already happened enough in the movies!" Amber yelled. She hurled another energy ball at the woman, then formed a net of energy and threw it on the Gigantasaurus. The woman deflected the energy ball, and the dinosaur managed to break the net.
Amber gasped. My powers aren't strong enough! "Uh, oh, now what should I do?"
"You should go away and leave me alone!" The woman fired black lightning bolts at Amber, but Amber put her hands straight out to each side and activated a gold force field around herself, which deflected the lightning.
"That's the last thing I'd ever do!" Amber brought her hands in front of her and absorbed the gold energy into her cupped hands. Then, aiming for the Gigantasaurus, she shot the energy at it in a gold ray. The Gigantasaurus yelled out, and Amber shot another beam of light at it the same way as before. Finally, it disappeared completely, leaving a small ancient-looking dinosaur bone and a silver glowing sphere. Amber sighed in relief. "I'm glad that's over." She turned her attention from the bone to the woman still hovering in the air.
"Next time, you'll be history, girl. No one defeats the Jewel Ninja and gets away with it!" She made a black porthole and disappeared into it (like Jedite ).
The Jewel Ninja, huh? I'd better remember that. Amber walked towards the silver sphere and started to pick it up.
Don't pick up that sphere!
Amber straightened back up, startled. "What was that?" she asked softly. Looking around and seeing no one, at least no one talking to her, she leaned down again to pick it up.
DON'T PICK UP THAT SPHERE!
Amber stood up again and put her hands on her hips. And why shouldn't I?
If you do, you'll have two people living inside you. Don't pick it up.
Amber turned her head and noticed for the first time a man in a white scientist uniform lying on the ground. His skin was blue, and something about it just wasn't right, but Amber didn't know… then she turned her attention to the sphere. That must be his! But how am I going to give it back to him? An idea flashed in her mind. She leaned down to pick it up, but as she did so, she formed a golden shield around it, so it wouldn't harm her. She walked over to the scientist and, kneeling on one knee, slowly absorbed the shield from the sphere into her hands. The sphere stretched into a flat circle over his head and it soaked up into the man's face. His skin became a healthy peach color, and he opened his eyes.
"Wha—What happened?" he asked, sitting up.
"Don't worry, sir. I think we have an enemy here from some other world," Amber replied, helping the man to his feet. "Considering how she revived a Gigantasaurus."
"How? There's no scientific way, without proper DNA and with the fact that dinosaurs couldn't exist in this kind of climate…" He kept blabbing like this while Amber walked over to the bone, picked it up, and gave it back to the man, whom she assumed was a professor.
"I think this is yours," Amber said. He stopped talking instantly and took the bone back.
"Why, it's the Gigantasaurus tooth I was cleaning before that woman knocked me out of my senses. She must have used it—"
"To make a living Gigantasaurus!" Amber cut off. "Sir, I can't explain why, but I think the lady that attacked you actually took out your soul and infused it with the bone to make the dinosaur. She used the magic that she brought with her from her other world, or universe." Amber concluded.
The professor just stared. "Who are you?"
Amber smiled. "A friend. You don't have to worry about other problems like these. No one has to." Amber heard people behind her, and, turning around, she saw a whole crowd of people, with news reporters in front. The reporters were firing all sorts of questions at her, like, "Are you from here?" "How did you get such power?" "Where do you live?" and a whole bunch of such questions.
Amber remained silent, confused, then finally replied, "No comment. I have nothing to say at the moment. I'm just a little helper. See ya later!" While the reporters kept asking questions, Amber, using a golden spherical shield around her self like a bouncy ball, bounced onto a nearby building. She was about to run across the roof when she heard something that caught her attention.
"Wait! What do you call yourself?" someone shouted from below. Probably a reporter.
"Uh…" Amber didn't want to tell them her real name, but she hadn't thought of a disguise name either. How come when people become superheroes they never think of an alternate identity name? I'd better think fast, because I don't want anyone else making up a name for me that'll probably suck. She twisted her waist, put her hand on her hip, and called out, "Just call me Golden Girl!"
With that she ran across the building roof, jumped down into the alley where she left her bag, and changed back into her regular clothes. She also pulled her hair into a ponytail and put on her Novell baseball cap, just in case anyone recognized her by her hair. Walking out of the alley, she noticed others joining the crowd of those that had witnessed what had happened, and deciding to go with the flow, entered the crowd.
"What happened?" she asked the guy in front of her, trying to seem like she just got to the scene.
He turned around. "You mean you don't know?" He has a surfer dude voice, Amber thought.
"I just saw the crowd and decided to see what's going on."
"Okay, this, like, totally hot superhero who calls herself Golden Girl, she just, like, destroyed a huge dino that was destroying the city and stuff."
"Wow, I wish I could have seen it," Amber replied.
"Yea, you totally missed out." The guy turned back around. "She's so hot. I wish my girlfriend was like that."
Amber smirked. He's not being very loyal to his girlfriend. Seeing some of the people leave, and seeing what time it was, she left and ran to the store to get the stuff her mom needed. The last thing I need is Mom, or Dad, yelling at me, even after saving the city.
