Citizens screamed as they ran for shelter, briefcases and pursues were held over their heads to protect themselves from the falling glass. Others, who were no standing under the building, were gazing up mouths a gaped. Suspended in the air were two grappling figures. One of them was a spiritual menace that wore a gleaming suit of armor. The other could not be identified, for all they knew it could be a human. While the other citizens either stood frozen or ran for cover one raven haired boy sprung into action. His black hair could be seen bobbing in the crowd as he ran. The boy disappeared into a dark alley and a few seconds later a bright white light spilled out.
A new entity zoomed into the sky, locked on to the floating pair. As the specter neared the second figure became clearer and clearer. It was a teenaged girl; red blood marred her pail face. Cuts crisscrossed her arms. Her violet eyes were set in a hard scowl and in her hand a large thorn was held.
The specter's toxic green eyes widened when he realized who it was. With his white gloved hand held forward and his speed increasing he yelled out, "Sam!"
Sam tore her eyes away from the armored ghost for a fraction of a second, and that was all he needed. In that fraction of a second the gleaming ghost was able to disarm the girl and threw off her death grip that she had on his armor.
Sam screamed as she fell, only to be caught a few seconds later by a glowing white net. As soon as the netting rapped around her it was set a live with electricity. Skulker smiled when he heard the girls tortured screams from behind him as he flew.
While her screams brought pleasure to one, it filled the other with rage. Danny flew after the duo, eyes a blazed, a scream of rage on his lips, mind full of deadly thoughts. Danny's gloved clad hands glowing with energy as he shot after them.
Sam weakly opened her eyes, screaming stopped after the current was cut. With her waning strength she reached her hand through the net. Seeing this Danny stretched his hand out as he neared the net. Their hands just brushed when Skulker took notice. A gun sprung from his back and shot a powerful beam at the boy. Danny, not expecting it, took the shot full force.
"DANNY!" Sam yelled
She watched as the ghost boy was slammed down into the pavement, creating a large crater. She could see green ectoplasm leak from the hole in his chest. His green eyes closed and his breathing labored. Green started to creep into her vision, a sweet voice sung, "Give in, loose control, let it happen" and she did just that. Sam closed her eyes and allowed the power to take over. Her last thoughts were, 'save him'.
With a flash of green the young girl's body changed. Her body glowed a sickly green, spiked fins jutted out of her arms, her hands became webbed and her nails grew to resemble claws. Her teeth became sharp, the veins around her eyes blackened, and her eyes themselves were lost with in a sea of green.
An inhuman shriek escaped her lips and with a slash of her claws the net ripped opened. Skulker had just enough time to utter, "what the", before the girl swung onto his back, summoned a large spike, and drove it into his jet pack. The machine sputtered and died, sending the duo into a downwards spiral.
With a wave of her hand, a huge vine erupted from the concrete sending asphalt and dirt flying. Car screeched to a halt in order to avoid hitting it. The vine sky rocketed upwards in order to catch its mistress. A leafy cocoon encompassed the girl and safely deposited her on the ground seconds after Skulker hit the road, shattering the concrete. Citizens screamed and scattered, others brought out their phones and typed in a memorized number.

In a secret base below Washington DC a multitude of ringing phones could be heard. Workers scrambled to take in the information, a mural with the letter PFA or the Paranormal Fighting Agency and behind it a gun and sword were crossed shown clearly behind the frantic workers.
Double doors slide open to reveal an aging women in a commanders uniform with two soldiers flanking either side of her. Upon seeing her workers stopped, stood, and saluted her. As she raised her hand they returned to their assigned jobs. The women and the two soldiers barged into an attached office revealing a frazzled man desperately trying to keep up with the information that was pouring in.
"General" the women greeted as she walked in.
"Commander!" the general exclaimed as he stood and saluted her.
"At ease" she said while lifting her hand
With that the man dropped his rigged stature. He came around the desk and offered the women his seat. She took it and started to scan the information that was displayed on the screen.
"Do tell me, general" she said as she lifted her head from the screen, "why was I taken away from my meeting?"
"As of 4:15 Pacific Time we had a multitude of phone calls pour in from the city of Amity Park California. And in that area our sensors picked up a sudden spike of energy. Commander these readings are off the scales even for that area." The general replied
The women looked thoughtful for a moment before replying.
"Amity Park, yes we have had problems in that area before. But these readings could not be connected to the ghost boy that they have named invso-bill. What are the phone calls about?" she asked
"They are all saying the same thing, a fight between a specter that they have been calling Skulker and an unidentified female. The spiritual entity has the normal abilities with the exception of its metal suit. And the female is reported to have summoned a large vine, so we are speculating that she has some sort of ability to control plants." He replied
"Is that all the information we have on the female?" she asked
"Yes mama" was his reply
The women brought her hands up and started rubbing her temples, fighting off an incoming headache.
With a sigh she said, "Deploy the California division with orders to stop the fight, if they must destroy the ghost then let it happen, but I want the female captured alive. Keep as much as you can off the news, we do not want the people to panic"
With a salute and a, "Yes Mama!" the general walked out of the office in order to relay the message to the California division.
The women sat behind the browed desk lost in her thoughts. Finally she said, "What is this new development?"

The girl gave a raging cry as she wrapped her vines around his ankle and swung him into the nearest building. Dust and rock poured from the ruined entrance. Skulker looked up from his involuntary position and saw the girl climbing over the rubble and coming directly towards him, her eyes filled with murder. He raised his arm and activated a ray gun that popped out of his wrist.
He fired shot after shot of highly energized beams, only for them to be blocked by a vine before they could reach their target. A look of desperation crossed his face as the girl drew nearer and near. At the last second his gun jammed and the girl descended upon him.
"You know," the girl said as she placed a pail delicate hand on the malfunctioning weapon, "it's not nice," her hand tightened around it, "to shoot at a women" with that she tore it away from the armor and threw it behind her.
"I guess I'll have to teach you a lesson" she said in a salutary tone
She took the frozen robot's wrist into her hands, picked him up, and started spinning around creating a dizzying whirlwind. With a final heave she threw the ghost out of the shattered entrance.
Skulker flew from the hole and skidded across the pavement of the road, damaging the armor as he slide. He came to rest after his back hit a nearby light post severely bending it. Vines sprung up from the pavement and wrapped themselves around Skulker's arms, legs, and neck. Glowing flowers erupted from the vines and focused their energy on the bound specter. His eyes widened when he realized he could not faze out of the vines.
"Like them?" the women spoke as she neared him.
"Being around that ghost boy gave me some ideas" she said as she fondly stroke one of the vines.
"The vines are stronger than steal and the flowers block your ghost energy. Yes, with these babies I will be able to take over your dimension." She said as she rubbed her check against the vine.
She peered at the captured ghost through the corner of her eyes. With that she detached herself from the vine and walked in front of the entity.
"Imagine it," she all but whispered, "the oceans, the land, and the spiritual realms all ruled by me" she said in a wistful tone.
"And you," she said turning her attention towards Skulker, "will be the first sacrifice"
With that she snapped her fingers and the vine around his neck pulled and pulled. Finally with a satisfying pop the armored head came off revealing a tiny green blob. Before it could escape the women wrapped her hand around it, careful to keep it under the flowers power.
The green blob struggled in her death grip, fighting desperately to get away. The women drew her other hand closer to his tiny chest. Two of her clawed fingers dug into his person. His tiny screams filled the air, ectoplasm dripped from the opening, his struggle renewed as pain overtook his small body from her fingers digging inside of his chest.
Finally her fingers gripped what they were looking for. Pulling away it revealed to be a small glowing ball of energy. With a final dying scream Skulker's tiny body dissolved into a puddle of ectoplasm. The women shook her hand clean as she brought her other one to her lips and swallowed the small ball of energy.
Another burst of energy emitted from the women's body and her appearance changed yet again. Her black raven hair was replaced by long mocha brown. Her eyes shifted to a brown almost black color. Her skin of snow white became that of an olive color. The fins disappeared, her teeth dulled, the black veins around her eyes vanished. Her fingers broke apart and her nail shrunk.
She looked at her hands and arms in amazement. A crocked smile over took her lips. Her dark eyes scanned the scene before her locking onto on coming vehicles. They were coming from the direction in which a passed out Danny laid somehow still in his ghost form. Her smile dropped into a frown as she rubbed her temples.
"Yes Samantha I hear you. And don't worry I'll save him" she told herself
With a sigh she started towards the barley breathing boy. The battle suited clad soldiers stopped a few blocks away from the downed ghost boy. They drew their weapons and locked onto the female that was walking towards them. The commander of the division spoke in a loud clear voice to his troops.
"Remember the boss wants this one alive! Shoot to detain!"
"Sir, yes Sir!" they replied
"On my mark"
"FIRE!"
A deluge of anti-ectoplasm bullets rained upon the women. She summoned vines in front of her, but not before one grazed her cheek drawling a thin line of red blood. She brought a hand up and stroked her cheek pulling back her red fingers. A fierce look overtook her features as she pointed at the soldiers.
Plants with glowing green eyes and vicious pointed teeth sprung up from the ground. Their sharp teeth tore into the men, painting the road chrisom red. Their pained screams filled the air. Men arms and legs were tore off, their bodies disemboweled as the ravenous plants ate.
A new smile was brought to her lips as she neared the commander his arm currently being ripped off by one of her plants. She waved for her pet to drop him at her feet. The plant did so and deposited the pained man before its master.
The man looked into her dark eyes, "who are you?" he chocked out
"Me?" she asked pointing to herself
With that she lowered herself to kneel in front of him.
"You can call me Regina in Aeternum"
With a small chuckle, she stood, snapped her fingers, and allowed her pet to sink its teeth into the man's neck. He spurted and gurgled on his own blood before death took him. His fingers falling away from the transmitter that allowed his commander to hear everything the monster said.
The women walked over towards the barely breathing boy. Standing over him she summoned a pod to encase them and brought them underground. With their mistress gone the carnivore plants also retreated underground, their job done, the humans were either dead or dying.
(X)
The pod resurfaced in an underground cave that smelled like the ocean, the clear water lapping the sandy shore. The brown eyed women placed a glowing hand over the wound in the boy chest healing it instantly. She kneeled at his side and cupped his pail cheek with her olive hand.
Two white rings appeared and shifted the boy's appearance. She finally shook her head and said to herself.
"Why does she care some much for you?" a yawn over took as her state of exhaustion made its self-known.
"Perhaps I will spear you in my new world, for her"
With that her dark brown eye closed and she fell onto the boy's newly healed chest. Her tan skin paled and her brown hair darkened until it was pitch black.
(X)
The aging women sat behind her desk. Her caramel eyes wide as her hands ran themselves through her short graying hair. Horrified thoughts passed through her brain.
'An entire division gone. All those men and women's families. What am I going to do? We have never faced something this strong. Damn this hellish beast. Damn the one named Regina in Aeternum'
Her thoughts were broken by the ringing of the phone on her desk.
"Hello" she said into the phone upon picking it up.
"Hello, this is the Commander of the PFA correct?" a deep voice said.
"Yes this is Commander Moore. May I ask whom I am speaking with and the reason you are calling?" she replied
"Who I am is of no importance for the time being and the reason I am calling is that I am offering a partnership." The voice replied
"And why should I consider this partnership?" she asked
"Because, we are after the same thing"
