"CLOSE THE GATES!"
"SOMEONE TURN ON THE ALARM!"
"GO! GO! GO!"
"ALERT NOVA PRIME!"
The place was a mess. Alarms went off crazy and corpsmen run back and forth, carrying weapons here and some weapons there. All eager to defend the most priced and the most dangerous possession in the high security vault. And this was just the inside. Outside, some of Thanos' soldiers attacked with bombs and pistols and made their way inside the vault. One particular figure, a red hooded one, made her way inside behind the soldiers. Heel sounds followed her at a peaceful pace. A corpsman pointed a gun at her. She smiled, showing blood red lips. With incredible speed, she snuck behind the soldier and stabbed a knife at his back, directly to the heart. He fell to the floor, making no more movements. The red hooded figure continued her peaceful walk towards big silver doors. Her prize was behind it. The only thing she had to do was retrieve it.
She gave the signal to a few nearby guards and they placed a strange on the doors. They granted her access to the inside. Some corpsmen that were currently residing in the room, pointed a dozen of guns or so at her.
"Stop right there, Crimson Red!" The leader shouted.
Crimson just smiled, revealing her natural blood red lips. "Ah… so you DO know me. That's bad. I thought Nova Prime didn't tracked me. Opps, I'm surrounded." She chuckled darkly. The chuckle send shivers to the corpsmen spines.
"You aren't getting any closer to The Orb!"
Crimson shook her head in disappointment. "That's too bad. I just wanted to take a look at the precious stone. I was thinking it will look beautiful in a ring. Or some earrings. It will probably look better in a necklace." She took a step closer.
"Take another step and we'll shoot you up!"
Crimson smirked. "One thing you don't know about me, dear." She ran behind the leader and stabbed him like the last corpsman she killed. "Is that I always get what I want…" the man fell with no mercy on the floor.
"SHE KILLED OUR CAPTAIN! SHOOT HER!" A corpsman shouted.
A rain of gunshots consumed Crimson. The gunshots continued until they were out of firepower. Smoke filled the air. No one could even see their own hand. A gust of wind cleared the thick smoke. The corpsmen gasped as they saw their dead captain's body on the floor. And Crimson stood aside it. Unharmed. Crimson opened her glowing red eyes. "Like I said, I ALWAYS get what I want…" Her voice echoed through the walls of the room, sending shivers through the guards' spines. "Now, where were we?" With unnatural speed, she reached the first corpsman and slammed him onto the floor, breaking his neck and killing him in the process. She unleashed red energy beams from her hands and stroke at the corpsmen's hearts.
She gave a satisfied smile as the last corpsman fell merciless on the floor, leaving a clear path for her. She chuckled as she stepped on a dead man's hand. She walked towards a silver cage with a floating object in the middle. The Orb. She rubbed her pale, red nailed hands in pure delight. "Finally, after all this time." She extended her hand, trespassing the energy force field that surrounded the priceless artifact with no sweat. She curled her fingers around the object and pull it out.
She admired its ancient symbols. "Good. Everything is going as planned. Now…" She hid away the Orb under her red cape. Her eyes glowed red. "I only need two last pieces… Two little stars." She smirked. "Who could they possibly be?"
