“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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqbgIopm4Z
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5zFdBZeGv
[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]
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduBXOuPeeA
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsCIrn9EZZ
‘You make it sound so goddamn easy!’ she thought aloud.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9cxfTgKLW
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy3SWaB9CX
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCnv6A2mF9
“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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmESZYGdwZ
“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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlyPS3YGDy
Juniper winced, then slapped her across the face. “Piss off!”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrP7ckBhRu
[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!]
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMpsr0Ue5H
She wanted to swear at the AI, but she was preoccupied by the unhinged vigilante.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QKLMebwaO
“Ooh, you’re a feisty one, let’s have some fun. My team never lets me have fun.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTGnEibp8z
Probably for good reason.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r5144mqYY
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKej8vQGTj
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVF6hU9hz0
“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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqPdN9ogag
A short-lived victory for Juniper, she knew the girl wouldn’t give up.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wq47cqkty
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaY71awooP
“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. “
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwKKwaKmnQ
“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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2p4EmSfWj
“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–
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0Dnl0zeeL
“Boo!”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1K1qaHv16
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp1CuKNAK5
[Keep running! Get that cardio in. You’ll be a star Olympiad one of these days! In the fleeing department.]
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyLRBybR74
“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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9fkViuZ73
Voidwaltzer giggled after her. Delighted.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI45HFiKwI
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuruQHD5VoP
She peered in the direction of the lunatic, hoping she had a sliver of a chance.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gigdE0Aut
“Light girl, I know you’re up there~” she teased her from below, or was it a mockery?
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M7dFiw03j
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLL7m8isZw
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtNfp9vEJN
“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.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybh4eTXHOc
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.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCkMRpmzod
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECAOdYA4sV
“I don’t want to, you weirdo! Who just kicks someone for the fun of it!”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpTIFU2vaG
“I’m just cape profiling, based on your behavior, you're the one who sped away like a gas station thief..”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytHYOMVF3F
“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.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlofsa0zcEz
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.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisoPM4WfaP
“No!” she faltered.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRmat5QAq5
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeSmDe0w6E
“How unoriginal, I’ve dealt with barriers of this kind before, how convenient that you emulate that blond bitch.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5F0HMOjht
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVsdjIL5ob
[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!”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqwm8OzdOb
“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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbwcMN9kWI
It cracks completely open, making it fall apart like dominoes on a table, shards of golden-silver later dissipating. Juniper fell to her knees.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1eessud9A
[Quick do the thing! Steal her powers]
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz21OGL0lCi
“Steal what?”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1MkZ4Kg1k
[Her powers, Baka! Start grabbing and grappling.]
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwFbrcSRyx
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4WWTWgnoY
“Hey, what are you doing? Stop that!”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwjDWeOrKv
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…
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiqzh9Q4p2
“Sys-chan Nothing is happening!!!”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQUKRO2G53
“Who are you speaking to, you perverted freak? Hey, I'm sensitive in that spot, stop touching me,” she shouted confused.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLylmrjgKq
Perhaps the clothing is preventing me.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo4DH7XHFZ
Juniper moved her hands towards her neck, towards more of her exposed part, but nothing happened as she touched her neck.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN5ZLE7dop
She keeps touching, but nothing happens.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCD3ZocuER
[Strange, it worked with the nurse and she had a complete overall on. We will have to test this later Desu.]
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH86JHI4Tb
“Are you serious!” the vigilante screamed.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hJc5ldcwd
“What the fuck am I supposed to do?”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReXP5hFSto
“Punch me maybe?!”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDKOxLIQAi
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?
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ353rZMS7FY
Voidwaltzer's expression was unreadable, but her whole tone switched up. Juniper did her best to hide away her face. Too late
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc3wDJZpp6
“You’re kind of cute,” she remarked out of nowhere, moving her face as close as possible.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxnDx99vt6
“What?”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHKqdzdEWk
She then effortlessly flipped her over.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII0atmDQ24
“Uuuggghhh.” she groaned, as the pain struck her back. When she felt her spine shake she hit the rooftop.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERH6hfrmIS
“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…”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNALtFtKnk7
Juniper realized she was at her limit. Mentally, physically, and even emotionally, she gave up. Bowing her head, and started pleading.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtetShR0bZT
“Wait!” her voice cracked. “Just wait, don't hurt me! I’m not a bad girl! It was my first time…”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm1f0RqwoN
Voidwaltzer pulls back, tapping her leg with annoyance.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUnyQuyiPt
“What are you even talking about!” she said tilting her head.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLSWLqymC7
“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.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzqm5gD4Pt
“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?”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DnrjDK9ZC
“No…” she flinched, averting the gaze of the vigilante, who looked up at her face.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdT6vVYdZs
“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.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYDPgIsec4
“Yes ma'am…” she said, shoulder slumping.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMURrIzANrU
“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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdem4do20D
She nodded like a disobedient child.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPRNCleBJd
“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.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAxTy21kQ8
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkZ0kormhu
[You’re juiced up, blast this posing yapper out away. And get out of here!]
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzGK4ZWQ2L
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjpLyXTgxW
Voidwaltzer who’s words were trailing off, stopped talking when she noticed the shift. “Oh, so you do have some fight left in you.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMflvUpebo
“I’ve had about enough for one night, stay away from me!” she raised her voice dramatically and started screaming “Haaaaa—--!!!!”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP1kL2XKBS
A spherical aura forms around her, and expands outwards sending the gravity girl reeling to the other end of the building.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouaW365Knh
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5DUZlacoD
[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…”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0x9iEENPx
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFuayCIYgn
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIqQl40IkB
The cool breeze bit at her skin, calming her raging nerves.

16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJMNtVnLoq
“Oh shit!!!!’
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiGHR5XZaq
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRUOH1sMse
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.

16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUq77ypmec
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlramHk8rg

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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtpHitXjUi
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuB3KMXEon
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovKSXLklOR
Oh no, don’t notice me!
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX6nW2twGF
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.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisHKkLwmAM
“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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNBG1QBl6v
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtxQgCw1rw
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…”
