“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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo2xbAfing
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.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3N1xlGKbh
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv5fZWYfjD
[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]
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBp9PwMYeH
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFJrSpnygw
‘You make it sound so goddamn easy!’ she thought aloud.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uzzEpaN1o
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjwoTGT21R
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7PsY9O5q6
“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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav30250Rf5
“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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw32NHr0pO
Juniper winced, then slapped her across the face. “Piss off!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrkgIKo52S
[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!]
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sQGnVHX3K
She wanted to swear at the AI, but she was preoccupied by the unhinged vigilante.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruMSIiB9RD
“Ooh, you’re a feisty one, let’s have some fun. My team never lets me have fun.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjafM9FrMZ6
Probably for good reason.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTIY8F3e1d
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBkHG2QjIC
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd99LsSWlaB
“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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdvvZIDJBj
A short-lived victory for Juniper, she knew the girl wouldn’t give up.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlvBkWI0hs
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhlOokEgeZ
“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. “
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2fZtn3qyk
“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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVonFvCSkgq
“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–
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEzyDzwJtd
“Boo!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFjmSBkPqG
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7WryQZvUo
[Keep running! Get that cardio in. You’ll be a star Olympiad one of these days! In the fleeing department.]
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWukQdwDxww
“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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn9XIekbpR
Voidwaltzer giggled after her. Delighted.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiAauRvlQS
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLpPNFhg0B
She peered in the direction of the lunatic, hoping she had a sliver of a chance.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZky1822xER
“Light girl, I know you’re up there~” she teased her from below, or was it a mockery?
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9wEwnScVN
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH160q1VtLo
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL5unm8KjX
“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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfXzrN73Xu
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPDxagpLi1
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUMSSBKusZ
“I don’t want to, you weirdo! Who just kicks someone for the fun of it!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNP3iSuyy8
“I’m just cape profiling, based on your behavior, you're the one who sped away like a gas station thief..”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RKudkDYqc
“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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7l8lwRo4m
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LVCwe0GTb
“No!” she faltered.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG60sl29stq
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHMjyLYqZh
“How unoriginal, I’ve dealt with barriers of this kind before, how convenient that you emulate that blond bitch.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIvqYVxZPT
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lcePdJ7fQ
[Baahaha, SHe’s MUGEN character, Junie, Focus, don’t lose control of the block button, or you're in for a knockout.]
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b35wXfUUS
“Now you’re the one treating this sys-chan!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWANzYc5s9
“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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NuPrTaFPN
It cracks completely open, making it fall apart like dominoes on a table, shards of golden-silver later dissipating. Juniper fell to her knees.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh54qf9IVp
[Quick do the thing! Steal her powers]
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGKcDkoCeJ
“Steal what?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoWtwrUyaa
[Her powers, Baka! Start grabbing and grappling.]
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJazvxWh9U
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEVQADtgXl
“Hey, what are you doing? Stop that!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLebNG1tFv
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…
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0kB2AUaJ2
“Sys-chan Nothing is happening!!!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hFVMh6XuT
“Who are you speaking to, you perverted freak? Hey, I'm sensitive in that spot, stop touching me,” she shouted confused.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rDofFfqlP
Perhaps the clothing is preventing me.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFlVJRWe2N
Juniper moved her hands towards her neck, towards more of her exposed part, but nothing happened as she touched her neck.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oRT7BKPei
She keeps touching, but nothing happens.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbz58vjdZs
[Strange, it worked with the nurse and she had a complete overall on. We will have to test this later Desu.]
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wVAUEE5Gt
“Are you serious!” the vigilante screamed.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAVOmBNDhc
“What the fuck am I supposed to do?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VuFPIsVDK
“Punch me maybe?!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAdqLMdAie
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?
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsUHQGAML3
Voidwaltzer's expression was unreadable, but her whole tone switched up. Juniper did her best to hide away her face. Too late
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EtCMdtXFk
“You’re kind of cute,” she remarked out of nowhere, moving her face as close as possible.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRbxLU8D52
“What?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7zVPr6kq7
She then effortlessly flipped her over.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo1LUIQN98
“Uuuggghhh.” she groaned, as the pain struck her back. When she felt her spine shake she hit the rooftop.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCemdhXTtX0
“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…”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDqs5F9E5w
Juniper realized she was at her limit. Mentally, physically, and even emotionally, she gave up. Bowing her head, and started pleading.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EtpGUh1yH
“Wait!” her voice cracked. “Just wait, don't hurt me! I’m not a bad girl! It was my first time…”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9tjw8nU5v
Voidwaltzer pulls back, tapping her leg with annoyance.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXHeO6kU14
“What are you even talking about!” she said tilting her head.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmGryFDh0b
“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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVeNoel2Qx
“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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap4LWFCJFG
“No…” she flinched, averting the gaze of the vigilante, who looked up at her face.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIicbeQ5Bos
“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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nkya3Visy
“Yes ma'am…” she said, shoulder slumping.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaWAAqTd5a
“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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jPx3T4URV
She nodded like a disobedient child.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwxLem8GUs
“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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ElYJiIH1v
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRUOjIbcBa
[You’re juiced up, blast this posing yapper out away. And get out of here!]
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGTRQEHXMj
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsVTht9Jn2
Voidwaltzer who’s words were trailing off, stopped talking when she noticed the shift. “Oh, so you do have some fight left in you.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6vKqpwQKh
“I’ve had about enough for one night, stay away from me!” she raised her voice dramatically and started screaming “Haaaaa—--!!!!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHvvzmRss1
A spherical aura forms around her, and expands outwards sending the gravity girl reeling to the other end of the building.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZenFNsdvy
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofRLO2Rwjo
[Solar power sentinel lvl 2>3]
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay0YILA7Rl
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…”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBrCJg3zWG
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyAvNXW25l
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1kE4HfE6j
The cool breeze bit at her skin, calming her raging nerves.

For a brief moment, the world stood still, and the silence of the night wrapped itself around her. Peace, but then it all went away, vanishing as quickly as it cape.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIwxasxB5r
“Oh shit!!!!’
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bgtymAJXa
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesFc1fCZec
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkUHA4txve
“That was quite the ride, wasn’t it sys-chan… system chan?” No answer, no reply.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cxgcFZpnz
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64ne7tQtzy

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uVNtqJU6c
She used the last of her energy to glide over the rooftops, skipping the long treks in fear of being mauled apart... Landing near the emergency exit/entrance of the apartment, hoping no one saw her again. She limped inside, groaning and moaning.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVcKCqunr4
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUvRYBwdQw
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrOWw2rxSy
Oh no, don’t notice me!
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMN7JJDYZ6
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.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYwqui5yEB
Oh boy, how was she going to get out of this one? It was also the first time she referred to her with a Japanese honorific, she supposed she would be flattered in any other situation.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbWNexz6y5
“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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYdFFfGUTB
“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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbiIZhWF5O
“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.”

“I see, let me at least carry you to your apartment.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrjuFHHYyd
She didn’t deny the help. Fearing she might push her away permanently if she declined. She nodded.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoTUQqjS34
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDJec9jmWr
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRKFqPGWIr
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…”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3F4ooRhfw
She didn’t reply, closing the door behind her.

Did she? Some supervillain/vigilante knew her face, she was partially recorded half killing a criminal, and she possibly strained the relationships with her brother and Kanako, unfixable damage to any progress.
