Different

Crashing through a wall that lead into a classroom, Sophia Hess aka Shadow Stalker, gagged on the air escaping her lungs as she crawled along the classroom floor, the vigilante had a look beneath her human faced mask as her body was shimmering in the shadows, her head turned to look over her shoulder as the wall she crashed through exploded with debris flying everywhere as the thing attacking her school roared as it looked for her, hiding behind the teachers desk, Sophia hissed quietly as she held her ribs, she estimated probably three broken if she was unfortunate enough, bruised if she were lucky. Peeking around the teachers desk to see her opponent toss a group of desks around in anger at her absence, Sophia looked forward before she entered her shadow state to exit the classroom to call for back up begrudgingly.

Stepping against a flipped table, Sophia activated her Comms to the PRT.

"Shadow Stalker requesting back up, Winslow High is under attack by an unknown cape" tensing up at hearing a muffled roar with a ground shaking quake, Sophia limped away to avoid detection.

"Arms master enroute to assist" Getting a groan as she slumped before two more voices came up on comms.

Hearing a garbled response from one unknown channel, Sophia grunted as she gripped her right leg tightly.

"Velocity en Route" giving a grunt as she stood up, Sophia froze as a piece of wall crashed behind her, where she previously sat.

Turning slowly to the new entry way, the being glared hatefully towards her.

"Shit!" Rushing off with the beast chasing after her in a frenzy, it ignored all obstacles between it and Sophia who had to phase through multiple things to keep out of this things reach, she ducked instinctively as a pillar exploded from the missed hit, it did however cause the ceiling to collapse behind her with the beast getting crushed.

Sophia however kept running until she found herself chased again by the more savage monster before she was sent flying by an extremely painful punch to her right side, she crashed through several walls before tumbling onto the schools parking lot, just as PRT troops and Armsmaster arrived, the blue clad hero on his prized bike.

Seeing her state medical arrived to assist her much to her hidden anger, Velocity took that moment to arrive from what she could guess was a jog.

"Shadow Stalker, report?" Giving Arms Master a glare beneath her mask, she went to speak if not for a roar to make all eyes turn to the School as a figure crashed through the roof. Watching it land with a dust cloud blocking it from sight, Sohpia felt a tinge in her gut as two red orbs snapped brightly within the dust cloud as it finally subsided, showing the female monster as it crouched low on all fours, it's orbs taking in the sight of those present before snapping to her with a much greater intensity.

Standing up as the Bone like muscle twitched, the thing gave a howl that had a girls scream under toning the roar of rage.

It was left completely naked due to what was left of skin and clothing burning away, the thing took a deep inhale before releasing a harrowing roar.

Sophia bit down the feeling of fear as she was carried out of the fight zone as Arms master and Velocity stepped forward, all failing to notice some students stupidly filming the coming fight.

"This is your only warning, Stand down!" ignoring ArmsMaster in favour of glaring at Shadow Stalker.

Velocity frowned at the hateful glare delivered to Shadow Stalker before ArmsMaster gave an order.

"Foam Her!" turning to the squad of agents as they fired liquid at her, the beast gave a snarl as it rushed at Armsmaster to try and break him, it's movement began to slow as the liquid began foaming up, leaving Armsmaster standing calmly at it came to a complete stop, sockets of a skull glowing with repressed anger finally unleashed after years of abuse upon Armsmaster who stood firmly.

Moving to give another order, the foam gave an alarming crack as the beast roared before it's right arm exploded from the trap to grab Armsmaster and toss him away, sending him into a car, Velocity looked between the two in alarm before rushing at the thing as it turned and crush Shadow Stalker with a nearby car, the hero snatched Shadow Stalker from death as the car came down.

Setting her behind cover, the being roared to the sky, like a tiger was screaming with a girl mixed in one again, reaching to the car to see it's handiwork, the beast looked around frantically before the car was crushed in anger, the angry roar echoing through the city not helping Velocity's nerves as it began sniffing the air, ignoring the foam being shot at it from the Paratroopers before it's head snapped to they're cover with glowing eyes as the hardened foam cracked against it's body.

"Oh shit" Grabbing Shadow Stalker as the thing took a stance, Velocity nearly screamed as it was sprinting at them with a roar.

Splitting the car in two as they moved again, Velocity gave a heave as Shadow Stalker hissed in pain as she held her side, the beast gave another roar as it tossed the two car parts at them, preparing to move again, two blasts of eye beams sent the car parts in pieces, looking up to the sky, Velocity gave a sigh at the sight of a cape based out in Detroit.

Blue outfit with red boots and gloves, the American flag sitting as a cape with a charming smile.

Homelander arrived with his arms crossed as he and the thing had a stare down.

"Velocity, what am I looking at here?" carefully fixing Shadow Stalker on his shoulder, the hero spoke.

"No idea, Stalker said it was attacking the school" getting a snarl from the beast, it gave a roar that shockingly became a growled out word.

"LIES!" getting a gulp from Velocity as Sophia froze up, Homelander raised an eyebrow as he calmly spoke.

"You can talk, do you mind if we talk about this instead of the increase in property damage?" giving the hero a snarl as the thing began pacing back and forth, it's glare glued to Shadow Stalker even with Homelander between them.

"Excuse me, could you just focus on me, please?" giving Homelander a glare that even made him tense up, the hero spoke.

"listen, I don't really understand the beef you have with this young hero here, but if you could just calm down for a sec-!" Getting interrupted with his left foot grabbed by the beast, it slammed Homelander on the floor three times, stopping to see the hero registering what was happening before throwing him into a small crater. Turning to Velocity and Shadow Stalker, it's left hand inches from grabbing her head if not for another intervention… being called Glory Girl.

"HEADS UP!" tumbling onto the track field after the impact, Glory Girl aka Victoria Dallon of New Wave hovered in the air as the beast lay on the grass before looking up with a snarl.

"SO, Bone head, mind telling me why your smashing up the School, didn't get a good grade so decided to break it instead?" glaring up in silence at the heroine above, the beast snarled at the hero above before ignoring her completely as it made its way back to the parking lot until Glory girl flew to hover before it with her arms crossed.

"Hey, this doesn't really look good for you when you get taken down, and you will trust me" Patting the beast on the shoulder, it glared lowly at her, grabbing her arm, it shoved it away weakly as Glory girl noticed a flicker in the red orbs as the beast walked by her.

Breathing heavily as it did for some reason, not the hungry and angry breathing, more of the tired kind.

Seeing it sway in it's step, it gave an angry hiss before Glory girl flew in front of it again with her hands grabbing it's shoulders to stop it moving forward, giving a smirk that made the beast growl at her, her eyes widened as it effortlessly pushed her before it's legs gave out suddenly, making Glory girl blink as ash particles began rising from the thing as it tried to shake it's head, it looked up at her with a glare.

"She… did this… to us" With that the being before it crumbled away into ashes as Taylor Herbert fell to the grass unconscious… and naked with scraps of clothing barely covering her modesty with a pair of animal ears on her head along with a Tiger's tail?.

Staring down at the girl in shock, Victoria knelt down to check for a pulse, not realising a pulse spread from Taylor through the multiverse once again.

Perking up as a ripple spread from the wall of orbs, Loki scanned through them all before finding the source, frowning at this new development, Loki grabbed the orb and held it in his right hand.

"There" looking at the orb as it vibrated in his hand, he turned and opened a vortex to the X-mansion.

"WAYDE, I'M SHORT ON HANDS NEED YOUR HELP FOR A BIT!"
