The Mission
Alice:
The first mission was easy so, Amanda asked me to do another one.
“that was child’s play, Alice.” Amanda said over the telecommuter.
“child’s play?” I exclaimed. “You and I should switch lives then!” I snapped.
“look, this one is just slightly harder.” She said.
“your insane, Amanda!” I yelled at the telecommuter.
I was five feet above the air on another building and everything is a blur.
A fog fell on the city because of yesterday’s rain.
I’ve never tried doing this Hero thing in the rain or any windy weathers. Because I am not crazy to get myself killed.
That’s Amanda for you, when she puts her mind into doing doing something, she puts her heart into it.
In this case, she placed me into this.
Which is scary since she had nothing to lose.
Amanda found out about a recent incident that happened. A building caught fire took the place down and the police found out that these killers were after a line of bank CEO ‘s and will target the Newton family because they are next. We took care of that easy.
To be honest, being a hero is actually boring. Being on patrol, less sleep and you being misunderstood as a threat.
Because of my act the other day, I was given the title on the local newspaper:
“DAZZLE GIRL CATCHES DRUG CARTEL”
Dazzle Girl? Dazzle Girl? Its light!
No one seems to grasp the concept of the costume. I was suppose to be like Butterfly Girl or something like that. What kind of name is that? I brushed that off my head and went on with the mission. Mission two was to get some kind of super villain or something to make a huge headline to spark the newspapers which I think its ridiculous but I went with it.
My body began to spark of purple light as I prepare to jump down from the building. As soon as I jumped down, I fired up my powers and ran like wildfire!
My body glowed brighter as I ran down the Hilton Hotel building. Everything is in slow motion when I go “Butterfly” the word around me catches every single activity so that I can react to it. I can see a buffet of deserts near the swimming pool. Food! I ran even faster and went “Butterfly”. I reached for the bottom and reform myself and pop back to “Butterfly” again and ran after three snacks. Everyone was still not noticing me.
TEWWWWWW~ TEWWWWWW~
the speed went on a different sound then back to the one I’m used to hearing.
TEWWWWWWW~ oh ya! Free food! I ran after the food isle.
“Whoa!”, “what was that?” that was what I could make out of from what the crowd said. I caught the sweet cornflakes cupcake, mini apple pie and an Ice-cream cake that is placed a bit further on the isle.
I kept running and before I knew it, I was near the swimming pool.
There are kids there and some teenage girls wearing bikinis. One girl who is blond wore a pink California Kisses swimsuit tied in a ribbon form.
Time to get naughty! I got closer and reached out my hand to untie it.
The girl was talking to this cute boy who is wearing a Quicksilver blue palm tree patterned pants. I got closer and closer and pulled the ribbon open. Easy! Instantly when I passed through, the swimwear started falling.
“Whoa!” the girl yelped as she reached to cover it.
The girl started blushing of embarrassment as the guy stood back,
“whoa! Easy there, young lady.” he was embarrassed.
I giggled. “that did it!” I muttered.
I began to chew on the food and ran towards my objective.
Pass the pool, through the building and to the streets.
The pedestrian is crowded with cars and other vehicles.
“Whoa! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!” I yelled as I ran pass them.
The people were shocked to see a humanoid light running pass them. They thought they saw a ghost!
I kept running. About a mile later I saw it.
That’s it! I saw it! The other red cartel! Another drug cartel!
I redyed myself and charge up...And went “butterfly”
Same thing as before, I rushed up and leap towards the top of the truck.
“okay, now what?” I asked.
“check the back of the truck!” Amanda said. “destroy it!”
“destroy what?” I asked. “the drugs! Get them your attention, Alice!” Amanda said.
“this is crazy!” I exclaimed.
I blasted several blasts to the truck roof and jumped it.
I did a quick scan and found myself stuck with two other guys with guns.
They were shocked to see me inside.
More importantly, they were shocked to see me coming in from a moving truck.
“hey fellas...”I said in a friendly tone.
“there are two ways this can end-” before I could finish, one of the men started pointing his gun at me and fired a few shots.
BALM! BALM!
I dodged the fires and start working on fighting them off.
“okay!” I said.
I made a back flip kick on one of the men and blasted a light ball on the other one, instantly knocking out the target and began searching for the cartel.
I opened it to check for the drugs and found out that it was a bomb! My eyes widen as I stared at the lethal device right in front of me.
“crap!” I yelled.
BOOM! RAGGING~
I hit against one of the truck doors and flew out to the roads.
The door fell first and shield my back from the fall...
The glass broke as the door dragged more.
Ow! I stood up as it finally stopped and ran like wild fire!
I ran and ran but this time, I ran even harder as I fight through the rain poring down while I chase after the back door opened truck...
BALM! BALM!
The driver had a co-driver on the other side shooting a 90 mm pistol at me.
I easily dodged it while going on the pursuit...
I was getting tired, I tried to keep up but got too tired to run as my costume carried some weight collecting water under the coat pocket. I stopped and took it off and pursue it again.
I was lighter, I was faster, I was...I was charged! My confidence built up...
My eyes glowed and my powers doubled it’s size...
I ran even faster while consuming all the lights around the building...
A huge flow of energy flowed within me.
Raw power!
OH YEAH!
I ran and ran....
The lights began to be absorbed like a super vacuum took it all.
The road is being lid by this super light on the road.
The power inside me grew in opacity and size.
WHOA~ WOW! WHRRRRR~
I was in awe of my speed. Running like my life depended on it.
The rain gotten heavier and heavier...
Its like chaos here. Sounds from an electronics shop was playing something loud and upbeat music.
