In an unknown location within the woods...
The sounds of punches fill echo through the forest. In a wooded area a man stands tall as a smaller girl bounces tree to tree also striking at the man as he parries. She lands on the tree and wipes sweat off her face then jumps at the man who dodges and returns with a knee to the stomach. She groans and falls to the ground.
The man kneels down to tend to her.
"You're getting better, with those moves at your age who knows what you'll have when you're my age!" The man says. The girl stands up holding her stomach, "Heh... you think that was cool? Just watch this then...!" She exclaims proudly while smiling. She shouts and what looks to be a clone splits from her body. One of her jumps to the left and the other goes to the right to pincer the Man. He smiles as the Clone phases right through him and he dodges the girl then catches her by the shirt. "Hey! Let go of me!" She shouts as she squirms to get out of his grasp. He lets go and the girl falls to the ground. "Let's go back home for today, mom should be making your favorite for dinner, and if you're good I can take you out to the beach. I think you're finally ready."
The girl smiles wide and gets to her feet faster than the man could even blink. He laughs and the two begin to walk. She pulls a paper out of her pocket and shows it to the man. On it is an outfit design and a mask, the top left corner of the paper says, "Orca/Killer Whale" and she points at the mask, "When we go to the beach! I'm gonna become just like the girl I always imagined myself to become!" The girl shouts, The man laughs while patting her head, "I'm sure you will, now come on let's go before we get scolded, there's no scarier force on this earth aside your mother"Later on...
The two continue down a path and in an opening in the trees they notice smoke. The man looks up as the girl doesn't seem to notice. "That's coming from the direction of..." he says under his breath.
He immediately crouches down and grabs the girl by her shoulders. "Wait here sweetie, daddy will be right back. I'm going to go ask mom if maybe we can stay out longer!" He says to the girl.
"Is everything ok?" She asks, "yes it's just fine! Just wait here." He replies as he hurries down the path to the smoke.The girl stands there for a solid 5 minutes before being a child and becoming curious. She follows the trail back to her home and comes to see.
In the small cleaning within the woods a house burns. In front of it, two men and a woman.
The first man stands tall and the second is lower to the ground with a broken arm standing In front of the girl, protecting her.
The girl stares in despair and screams. Both the men look to her and the weaker reaches out to her, "CHLOE...! DONT...!".
Her father protects her mother as the man looks over to her. The man pulls out a knife and stabs the distracted father and Chloe springs into action and runs at the attacker. He wears a black suit and tinted glasses. The man looks back over to Chloe and notices she's gone. He hears a twig snap and looks over to see her. He thrusts his hand forward to stop her but she phases through him as the real Chloe comes out from the house and slices through the attackers Achilles Tendon.
The man falls to the ground holding his leg in pain as she walks up to him with a piece of sharp wood from the burning house. She rams the stick through his hand and anchors it to the ground then holds the other hand to the ground herself.
"WHY DID YOU DO THIS?!" She desperately cries out to the unknown man. The man grunts in pain and looks to the girl. "The boss didn't tell me the two hits had a child... Im sorry girl... it's business..." he says as he pokes his tongue behind one of his lower teeth, "The Kraken doesn't become prisoner..." he finished as his mouth foams and he goes limp. No pulse, he's dead.The girl squeezes down on his arm and begins to bash his face in as she cries and screams. The man is unrecognizable and she looks over to her two dead parents. She looks away to the burning house and suddenly hears a cough. She jolts back to see her mother cough up blood. She runs over and grabs her hand. "M-MOM!?" She cries out desperately, "ARE YOU OKAY?!".
The mother moves her arm to feel Chloe's face.
"Chloe...Don't worry... when we're gone... we'll still be with you..." her mother weakly reassures, "The basement... your father left something for you... and please... don't waste your life chasing vengeance... find happiness through another way, even if we aren't with you...". Chloe holds onto Mothers hand tight as the light leaves her eyes.Rain drops fall onto Chloe's hands and a storm blows in. The fire extinguishes and lightning illuminates Chloe's empty eyes. She stands and walks over to the charred house. She walks to the basement and sees a small crate. She opens it and sees a mask, the mask she drew in the paper she showed to her dad. She lifts it up and looks at it but seems dissatisfied.
She looks to the end of the basement and noticed a small screen protruding from the wall behind a small door.
She walks up to screen then places her hand on it. "Vocal identification required." A glitchy voice says as the screen flickers.
"Chloe." The girl says, "access denied"
"Sakamata Chloe." She tries again, "Access denied"
The girl thinks to herself frustrated,
"Little princess...?" she asks, "access denied."
"The Killer Whale!" She shouts while slamming on the screen, "Access granted, welcome, Sakamata Chloe." A hidden door in the wall opens as Chloe stares surprised.
Behind the door, white lights flicker and illuminate shelves of weapons, crates upon crates of tech and at the end of the hall a metal suit.
She walks up to the suit and looks at it. She touches the finger of the suit and it wraps around her finger. The rest the suit follows through and customs itself to match Chloes size. Inside the suit plenty of GUI appear and she views her hands as scans and downloads execute.
Multiple holograms above her arms show weaponry in the armor and features.
"This... is my dads greatest invention..." she says to herself. She closes her eyes, "This won't be vengeance... it'll be a massacre..." she says while
Opening her eyes with resolution." She grabs the weapons from the shelves and the suit shrinks into a small chip on her chest and she walks out of the basement, past the mask and up the stairs.
"The Kraken, huh?" She scoffs to herself, "I'll stop at nothing, until they have all been ridded from this Earth and into the pits of hell."For the next three years she would take to the streets and begin her investigation. She finally got a good roadmap on what she was going to do and who and where she'd start. In her mind all that was left was to test her abilities. And an opportunity would present itself...
In a dark alley in New York...
A cloaked figure walks with their hands in their pockets and the lights around the alley dim.
From around the figure multiple pairs of white glowing dots point at the figure from rooftops, air conditioners, fire escapes, behind dumpsters, hanging from wires and many more behind as well.
"You are bold, to come here alone..." A voice speaks from one of the many glowing eyes.
The figure removes their cloak. Blonde hair waves in the wind. "My name is Amelia Watson, Sakamata Chloe... I'm here to give you a proposition..." Amelia shouts to the crowd of eyes.
"How did you know I'd be here." Chloe asks.
"If you think anyone could've figured this out and you were clumsy, you don't need to worry." Amelia reassures "I'm sure you know I'm only the smartest woman on this planet. And yet, you weren't easy to track."
The figures in the dark all at once dash out of their positions and at Amelia but she doesn't flinch as each one phases through her and promptly vanishes. "I know all about your abilities as well, I'm not sure for conflict..." just behind Amelia a manhole cover lifts and Chloe jumps out but Amelia moves out of her path and Chloe rebounds off the floor to strike at her again but Amelia suddenly vanishes and leaves Chloe to look around in confusion. A whistle alerts Chloe and she looks up to a power line and sees Amelia standing on top of it looking down to Chloe.
"The gods have decided they've had enough of us, and want to give humanity a fighting chance, so I've been instructed to gather a team..." Amelia explains, "You've already proven yourself to be quite the deadly fighter... and while I'd have grounds to arrest you right now, we need to save humanity, so I need you to join me and I'll turn a blind eye to your future activities once the tournament is over.". Chloe looks up at Amelia with uncertain eyes, "The Gods? Those silly fairy tales aren't anything I bother myself with, go somewhere else." Chloe says while turning around. "I understand you may not have any faith after your upbringing, but they are real and they threaten us with extinction." Amelia replies, "So either fight and save humanity, or ignore the fight and lose your chance to claim vengeance on who wronged you.".
Chloe stops in her tracks "Fine, I'll go along with this, but if you disappoint me... I'll kill you." Chloe says, "Hmph, fine by me." Amelia replies as she disappears in an instant. A note falls from the post she was on and lands on Chloe's hand."177A Bleecker Street"
Chloe takes note of the paper and crushes it in her hand.
"I'll be your fighter... The Gods have failed me, and I'll be sure to give it to them where it hurts!"
