“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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopBVc0aBeZ
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IKQPtZZP2
[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]
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S7ca3ZMd7
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RsqV17h3h
‘You make it sound so goddamn easy!’ she thought aloud.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvffYqVpb2L
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbXz0TCADF
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh6nirUXuW
“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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTTFmjNQyR
“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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA7TUtoEto
Juniper winced, then slapped her across the face. “Piss off!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIJHhwNYK4
[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!]
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZT2HnKJyW
She wanted to swear at the AI, but she was preoccupied by the unhinged vigilante.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxnP2ImXqp
“Ooh, you’re a feisty one, let’s have some fun. My team never lets me have fun.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ld7NVyIoH
Probably for good reason.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP41TI5G2rX
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1KV3cIues
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrtEOYhUQ9
“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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpuyJt1Rhx
A short-lived victory for Juniper, she knew the girl wouldn’t give up.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNo8tmd87q
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BzOTSvTBo
“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. “
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI69QgNUcC9
“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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvJlfqDL8I
“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–
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEJuu9aI34
“Boo!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpEPsGpgkp
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6gn8wzbvQ
[Keep running! Get that cardio in. You’ll be a star Olympiad one of these days! In the fleeing department.]
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90qUaVNF5Y
“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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYv9MHUWOJ
Voidwaltzer giggled after her. Delighted.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5hHWmWINc
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0wprgXyHI
She peered in the direction of the lunatic, hoping she had a sliver of a chance.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2h3bZHRP5
“Light girl, I know you’re up there~” she teased her from below, or was it a mockery?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaieKQI6GQm
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73WzJixnLc
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAod3zVmew
“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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sFn60Lu9I
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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zzvL88mO8
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7dOsD7lij
“I don’t want to, you weirdo! Who just kicks someone for the fun of it!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1VbmzJbWE
“I’m just cape profiling, based on your behavior, you're the one who sped away like a gas station thief..”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvbnhEYl0I
“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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeOCVS0t57
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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmbrLrVPDg
“No!” she faltered.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0Gn32kg51
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTm2FMpLvD
“How unoriginal, I’ve dealt with barriers of this kind before, how convenient that you emulate that blond bitch.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqUlzRpspo
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLfchhOOPw
[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!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfj9DNJ33n
“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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTkwkPd0eL
It cracks completely open, making it fall apart like dominoes on a table, shards of golden-silver later dissipating. Juniper fell to her knees.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYPcmn7Y4w
[Quick do the thing! Steal her powers]
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzYtgtVOpf
“Steal what?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65OUHwGfk3
[Her powers, Baka! Start grabbing and grappling.]
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2YXrpzBMt
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISotT79oqh
“Hey, what are you doing? Stop that!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQoto7iFEW
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…
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeY1lBpEva
“Sys-chan Nothing is happening!!!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH9akPb7en
“Who are you speaking to, you perverted freak? Hey, I'm sensitive in that spot, stop touching me,” she shouted confused.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR5fCYDAlj
Perhaps the clothing is preventing me.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxGiJt7y40
Juniper moved her hands towards her neck, towards more of her exposed part, but nothing happened as she touched her neck.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQMQL5eXyh
She keeps touching, but nothing happens.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgZDXX6hgy
[Strange, it worked with the nurse and she had a complete overall on. We will have to test this later Desu.]
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRh1LI3ZWg
“Are you serious!” the vigilante screamed.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMsY5uLu7s
“What the fuck am I supposed to do?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZds8AlakR
“Punch me maybe?!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPrTUk5Zq3
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?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCTVbxSU43
Voidwaltzer's expression was unreadable, but her whole tone switched up. Juniper did her best to hide away her face. Too late
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uAng7ZThZ
“You’re kind of cute,” she remarked out of nowhere, moving her face as close as possible.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ58oWvG14
“What?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsek7mwAf2Y
She then effortlessly flipped her over.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnLMMWNdRe
“Uuuggghhh.” she groaned, as the pain struck her back. When she felt her spine shake she hit the rooftop.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBKBz4tBnZ
“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…”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8sw7CsfOO
Juniper realized she was at her limit. Mentally, physically, and even emotionally, she gave up. Bowing her head, and started pleading.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWNVOMgbi5
“Wait!” her voice cracked. “Just wait, don't hurt me! I’m not a bad girl! It was my first time…”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmluVxFIEj
Voidwaltzer pulls back, tapping her leg with annoyance.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj5dQ41UXF
“What are you even talking about!” she said tilting her head.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjPFAMVdNy
“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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7ijKWkIzE
“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?”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsGnhW44j3
“No…” she flinched, averting the gaze of the vigilante, who looked up at her face.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18kNtyxpvx
“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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqanAaPWxbd
“Yes ma'am…” she said, shoulder slumping.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHbe1m4Smf
“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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGRMfVTCbm
She nodded like a disobedient child.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZksA6E0xUk
“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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0OA50E2Ua
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3JKn1Q36x
[You’re juiced up, blast this posing yapper out away. And get out of here!]
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeThHEsIOFl
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnuuLCDsyL
Voidwaltzer who’s words were trailing off, stopped talking when she noticed the shift. “Oh, so you do have some fight left in you.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61MNIPbBKv
“I’ve had about enough for one night, stay away from me!” she raised her voice dramatically and started screaming “Haaaaa—--!!!!”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE0vqGFrvX
A spherical aura forms around her, and expands outwards sending the gravity girl reeling to the other end of the building.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SuidF0K8J
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0XZFPGXQ7
[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…”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuYxP2yJh2
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qV8ZJA48f
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUqTt4XRJr

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T12lmZ03D
“Oh shit!!!!’
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AuqVZjUdR
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NDXND6s10
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.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVXF8EjkSz
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.

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.

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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrIZ5YYUf2
Oh no, don’t notice me!
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGte4eeV1l
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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG3GAyKyv7
“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.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BDRzaJDfc
“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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAWsF917i9
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.

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.”
