“People of Core Pacifica, do not fear! Voidwaltzer is here! And you, hooded stranger–you’ve been a naughty girl!” she announced to an empty alley.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1GAdl3JwC
Juniper’s chest was burning as the girl's sharp-heeled pumps pressed down onto her throat. She was struggling for air, her vision partially blurring. Her body stiffened, as she tried breathing, she tried pulling her off by tugging at no avail, despite being seemingly frailer than she was, she wouldn’t budge. The girl’s strength defied what was physically possible.

Voidwaltzer was not only able to defy gravity but shift it to her advantage, she was locked in a cage with no way out. She hated every moment of this.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QShWCjM0j
[It’s okay. *Starts biting fingernails*. She’s really tough, end-game level tough for your level 1 noob butt, but it's cool. You got legs use em- start running away, Get to the rooftops, blast her away! Trust me]
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq6Li5UBzw

‘You make it sound so goddamn easy!’ she thought aloud.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3BHAicegg
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoY4AQv73m
Voidwalzter finally let her foot off the juniper. Air flooded her lungs painfully, she crept down to crawl, coughing as the air came in waves. Her chest heaved, and with every breath, pain in her ribs throbbed like a heartbeat. Proof of her unathleticism. She really needed to switch her lifestyle around.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8sKfM4UoZ
“Easy, ohh, don’t worry I like to play with my prey.” Voidwaltzer teased, with her high-pitched voice, her heel struck her in the center of her stomach. She curled together instinctively.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96pghFkhN4
“You’re so adorable when you squirm for air,” The assailant purred, as she crept down beside her. “Like a little kitten lost in the wrong nest.” her hands reach for Juniper’s hood.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewZzv7Wfa7
Juniper winced, then slapped her across the face. “Piss off!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmBRlZVHNU
[Wow, you two are like an abusive couple. Uh...I mean..uh... Run to the rooftops! Juniper–The roof, moonlight, and the power of the sun, Move!]
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82NRM3SNup
She wanted to swear at the AI, but she was preoccupied by the unhinged vigilante.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGVyp0eGpW
“Ooh, you’re a feisty one, let’s have some fun. My team never lets me have fun.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfLXwPf5px
Probably for good reason.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNneOCPm1A
Voidwaltzer approached her, skipping like a kindergarten kid playing hopscotch, her heeled pumps clicking on the ground in a rhythmic pattern. It felt like when Iffy wanted to play rough except, this was an adult, and playtime became lethal.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hSWrqNUjw
Juniper stood up, her body, eyes, and hands glowing golden, hair raised into the air. Her body filled up energy like a car being pumped.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn3GyR3Zi8
“Ooh, shiny! Her eyes lit up like she just made the discovery of a century. “You kinda resemble Helio girl now,” she said with excitement before being expelled by a burst of light, slamming her and sending her flying through the air.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQpqc0DhPh
A short-lived victory for Juniper, she knew the girl wouldn’t give up.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq4NeOJjnm
The air itself seemed to twist and distort as she seemingly stopped mid-air, twirling her legs like she was a ballerina, she spun around like she was swimming in the ocean. She floated down mid-air like a feather in a fan. Gracefully and elegantly, beautiful but a pain In Jun’s ass.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7jxJTPJKJ
“Let’s skip all the theatrics,” Voidwaltzer said with a smirk, a lot more calmer than before.“I saw what you did back there, just briefly after the commotion started. Punching a man into a metal trash can and fleeing while he started bleeding out. Are you either a super-induced addict or a new rogue cape? Or… perhaps a proper villain in the making. “
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNDUPAvHBE
“I–I’m neither of those things! You’re making a lot of assumptions.” Juniper spat. Her body felt overexposed, as she was scrutinized by her eyes, a familiar feeling.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6foblyTyC
“You’re new to this aren’t you, it's written all over your body language. This game, it's unfamiliar to you, unknown territory.”

Time seemed to stop around Voidwalker as she seemingly ‘walked’ in front of her, with miraculous speed. Reappearing almost in an instant. She could barely register anything–
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ44LqQ3X9g
“Boo!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxnoix6wfF
She yelled and spun around. Coming face-to-face with her from behind. Turning the other way. She sprinted into the narrow alleys. Slipping through an unvaultable cramped gab Hovering midair, her power low on moonfuel. She needed to get to the rooftops.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqikOocPw8
[Keep running! Get that cardio in. You’ll be a star Olympiad one of these days! In the fleeing department.]
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e4tD2hT2o
“Waha– why are all these weirdos drawn to me?” she shouted aloud, her voice cracking as she was out of breath. Then laughing hysterically as the fear and the adrenalin merged.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg9z8B5oUb
Voidwaltzer giggled after her. Delighted.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBb5kfiX2r
Her glowing body, leaping from one end of a rooftop to another, started basking in the full light of the moon, She could feel the energy welling up inside, her glow lighting up with every new second that passes.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61loelBx1r
She peered in the direction of the lunatic, hoping she had a sliver of a chance.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMY4QXQ6wk
“Light girl, I know you’re up there~” she teased her from below, or was it a mockery?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YJHvZfHtY
Realization set in, this was hardly the best of the cape world, it was going to get a lot tougher from here on out, and she needed to be extra prepared. She readied her body, taking in the encompassing moonlight, diluted sunlight, it would have to do.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVQrFf3bDl
Not even a split second before she could catch a breather. Voidwaltzer comically ran up the wall, like a cartoon character, flipping over the edge like it was no issue. Landing in front of her with a theatrical pose.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PFjWulRrs
“So you are new, clearly judging by your experience.” she tilted her head, smirking playfully. “So why did you kick that man? Are you a villain, an independent supercriminal? Speak because heels of justice are ready to kick to knock some sense into you.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBqPItOikR
Juniper starts trembling, backing away, her legs wobbling like jelly. “I-I was just trying to help an old man, they were threatening him, I–I didn’t know I would break him apart.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97LpZJKRv8
She was unconvinced, hands to her hips. “Ah yes, the classic excuse of he started it first. Guilty, guilty, and guilty as charged. Come with me and we’ll determine if it checks out, who knows what happens if I let you go.” she extended her hand like she was a child.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShS62lEM4m
“I don’t want to, you weirdo! Who just kicks someone for the fun of it!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64x24J09d2

“That’s harassment, you’re not even a proper hero! You don’t work with the authorities. I’d rather speak with the police than with you.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR4uO9rJan
She became incredibly frustrated her hands started shaking.“Oh you’re one of those types. No, these so-called ‘heroes’ who do nothing but serve their bourgeoisie masters, deserve punishment as well. Capes on a fucking leash.” her hand gestures were all over the place. “Only we who take the path of vigilance–can deliver proper justice–now last chance noob, come with me or get an ass beating.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ815LDLH0Fy
“No!” she faltered.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61dMnLsQ96
Voidwaltzer stepped forward, cold and calculated. Juniper's mind started collecting ideas, recalling how Heliogirl often put up a barrier, blocking anything from energy beams to bullets, with it. I’ll wear her out. She held her hands out, imagining covering herself with an imaginary bubble. Golden light forming an egg-like shell.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RJET0W5ai
“How unoriginal, I’ve dealt with barriers of this kind before, how convenient that you emulate that blond bitch.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMElHETZUY
Without a single warning. She attacks the barrier with lightning-quick kicks, Every kick brings her one step closer to shattering the increasingly fragile barrier. Her body sped up to imperceivable speeds. Everything about this girl defied the laws of physics.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVQOWTZSZJ
[Baahaha, SHe’s MUGEN character, Junie, Focus, don’t lose control of the block button, or you're in for a knockout.]

“Now you’re the one treating this sys-chan!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9Au0qvPXe
“Syschan?!” Voidwaltzer asked. then…
She launched herself up in the sky, with godlike speed, tumbling and turning, accelerating and bringing herself down, the mass of her leg suddenly exerting earthquake-level pressure as she brought it down on the barrier.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqwSKvD8Ov
It cracks completely open, making it fall apart like dominoes on a table, shards of golden-silver later dissipating. Juniper fell to her knees.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf81ef1xbF
[Quick do the thing! Steal her powers]
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhB1oBVvin
“Steal what?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qLuHPhGy5
[Her powers, Baka! Start grabbing and grappling.]
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf4MdZ8syc
Voidwaltzer herself was staggered, movements slowing as if her power was on some sort of cooldown. Juniper lunged forward, not waiting to be assaulted again. She grabbed her thighs, and one of her arms, hoping it would work out.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8PTaLM5uA
“Hey, what are you doing? Stop that!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEJAAcjg3T
Her hands start to wander, across her body. She starts feeling her all over, squishing her leg, and the lower parts of her thighs, she moves her hands to her elbow. Squish squish, squish squish…
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EdtqxNnDj
“Sys-chan Nothing is happening!!!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPwiiqpl9F
“Who are you speaking to, you perverted freak? Hey, I'm sensitive in that spot, stop touching me,” she shouted confused.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGKAwdGjRY
Perhaps the clothing is preventing me.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zgq1rBQjH
Juniper moved her hands towards her neck, towards more of her exposed part, but nothing happened as she touched her neck.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF5PoLWd34
She keeps touching, but nothing happens.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgrJzAMbt4
[Strange, it worked with the nurse and she had a complete overall on. We will have to test this later Desu.]
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSmCUyrQJU
“Are you serious!” the vigilante screamed.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXxhDfBSo7
“What the fuck am I supposed to do?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbemrlOMtbo
“Punch me maybe?!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwZQ6k19dA
Time slows to a crawl again, or rather, she struggles to move, her body feeling heavier. Voidwaltzer grabs her by the neck, removing the hoodie completely exposing her face. Juniper lets go of her, shying away. But their eyes locked with each other, Juniper gazed into her red jewels behind the mask. Red eyes A side effect of her power perhaps?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zYgpRyazh
Voidwaltzer's expression was unreadable, but her whole tone switched up. Juniper did her best to hide away her face. Too late
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91ydN7iAMp
“You’re kind of cute,” she remarked out of nowhere, moving her face as close as possible.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgLMaIxHu5
“What?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eK9v0UKwv
She then effortlessly flipped her over.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ9nIRDBBz
“Uuuggghhh.” she groaned, as the pain struck her back. When she felt her spine shake she hit the rooftop.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9gasNeHE2
“That’s for touching my thighs.” She approached slowly, striding with the confidence of a model. Her clicking awakened something inside Juniper. “You lost, now come with me…”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybPda3g6nx
Juniper realized she was at her limit. Mentally, physically, and even emotionally, she gave up. Bowing her head, and started pleading.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAloGDVejdL
“Wait!” her voice cracked. “Just wait, don't hurt me! I’m not a bad girl! It was my first time…”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAGJdaxfox
Voidwaltzer pulls back, tapping her leg with annoyance.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnogxRPpv6
“What are you even talking about!” she said tilting her head.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vcRgSho3H
“You said you came to the scene when I kicked that gangster, but I was only trying to help the old man they harassed. I swear, please stop, I have a family at home, and I can’t be caught in this cape shit. I was just trying to get something to eat, then it happened.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo59xbYkGP
“I have a family– that’s what they all say!” her voice became harsh. She gripped her by the arms, yanking her up, and hit her a with hard slap on the back. “If what you’re saying is true, then you’ll have no issue coming with me, I'm a vigilante, not a human trafficker. Are you even registered yet?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH3DupXmGw
“No…” she flinched, averting the gaze of the vigilante, who looked up at her face.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0a90rND36
“So, you just came out here to play superhero huh.” she sighed deeply, her fist clenched. “Listen to me you, you fucking idiot! Firsties like you are the whole reason why casualties are overrepresented on the street, not only are you irresponsible but you cause chaos everywhere you go.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUnBdj9LQP
“Yes ma'am…” she said, shoulder slumping.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2ZIaGmRsb
“You think this is some fucking game? People die out here, it takes a single move and everything is fucked.” Voidwaltzer resisted the urge to punch her in the face.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSHqLu7fPy
She nodded like a disobedient child.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoXgb72Fos
“I’m sorry, I admit I misjudged the initial situation, you’re not the prey I was hoping to hunt, either way, please just briefly come with me. You're lucky, really lucky.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8QEy1dxwa
As Voidwaltzer started a longer more serious monologue, her initial craziness disappeared, Juniper’s focus lay elsewhere, and her energy was condensing. Juniper’s power surged within, and the glow intensified, shifting from soft gold to radiant silver. She stopped her trembling, becoming eerily calm.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhi0P343Bc
[You’re juiced up, blast this posing yapper out away. And get out of here!]
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4xNvgUNBZ
Compressing her energy around her, she imagines herself, letting go of all her troubles, just whipping it all away with a sudden push. Her power emotionally charged and driven, came like an unstoppable tidal wave, uncaring and unrelenting.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHCMJvutmQ
Voidwaltzer who’s words were trailing off, stopped talking when she noticed the shift. “Oh, so you do have some fight left in you.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzo7sDZREk
“I’ve had about enough for one night, stay away from me!” she raised her voice dramatically and started screaming “Haaaaa—--!!!!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQInhqpBPi
A spherical aura forms around her, and expands outwards sending the gravity girl reeling to the other end of the building.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcHcBmqCYt
Wasting no time. Juniper imagined herself like a rocket launching herself into space, her body propelled upward. With a shot of uncontrolled power, zooming into the air. Wobbling uncontrollably, she struggled to maintain herself.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfgbiMko6A
[Solar power sentinel lvl 2>3]

The girl didn’t seem intent on pursuing, put her hands together, and shouted in the air. “I saw your face, Glow girl. I’ll find you…”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW0cBMGMw7
Going higher into the air, she couldn’t hear her yapping anymore, her body struggling to maintain direction. The zipping wind, tugged at her as she was raised in the sky. The air current made her hair flow around backward.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5HVGwHB2s
Glancing down at the grounded lights and passing cars, her frustration and pain disappeared. Replaced by awe. From this height, the world below seemed so small, she was removed from the chaos of it all.

60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKJLBicbqu
“Oh shit!!!!’
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdTPQafJal
Her nerves did a 180, and her blood rushed. The glowing aura she possessed gave out, she struggled to dive cleanly mid-air, struggling to gain control, Jun brought out her arms, attempting to glide down. The rushing wind burned her skin as she tumbled down, something went into her eye.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtbRPxYn93
With a sudden thud, she hit a brick wall of someone’s house. The lights of the building turned on, and she while dazed scattered to maneuver out of their yard, rushing across the street, constantly moving.

“That was quite the ride, wasn’t it sys-chan… system chan?” No answer, no reply.

She did her best to move quickly through the neighborhood, partly crippled and battered again. The neighborhood went on for a while stretching and turning as it was built on an upwards hill. No trouble for a while. Then came sudden barking from the angry pit bulls snapping at their metal chains. Eyes locked on her. Barking at her like she was a threat.

Peeking around the corner. Ms Louise was vacant, missing from her midnight patrol. She hoped no more surprises awaited her. The missing presence was the only relief she felt.

Climbing up the stairs. Every step up was a fight of its own. In her tiredness, she was confronted by another obstacle that pierced her sight. It was Kanako in modest pajamas, she was standing there, with an oversized telescope, stargazing.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M7TTB72hX
Oh no, don’t notice me!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUPG4eM5YL
As if her thoughts manifested themselves. Kanako turned her head. Locking her with juniper’s body, rushing over at the sight of her, suddenly. Face twisting in horror. The sound of her slippers clapping echoed through the night.

“I'm fine, I’m fine, I had a rough run, that's all.” She put on a fake shaky smile, taking as much as care possible to avoid her hands. “Just met some crazy dogs along the road nothing too serious.”

“It’s not nothing, should I take you to the hospital?” she interrupted, blocking her from inspecting her wounds. “Those don’t look like bite marks.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQkO3V2H4a
“No! Stop! It's nothing!” she snapped, startling the Japanese girl. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry I just need some rest. Thanks for worrying, but I’m okay.”

She didn’t deny the help. Fearing she might push her away permanently if she declined. She nodded.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFnqyDn19B
She bit her lip, barely breaking herself into crying, and the aftermath of the beating she took, started kicking in. She’d have to go to a hero agency as soon as possible to make sure her tab is kept clean. She didn't want to start Cape-ing on the wrong side of the law.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQr991klnF
Unlocking the door Inside, her brother was vacant. Possibly asleep. A quiet Kanako helped her inside, her face completely aghast. “I'm sorry Miss. Kamizuki.”

She shook her head, her voice gentle as ever. “Just get some rest, if..if you don’t feel well by tomorrow, please let me take you…”
