Ten years ago...
"I have a job for you..." said a voice in her earpiece. "There's a bunch of Tickers in the Slums. Thirteen of them. I want you to investigate them all."
A girl in an Ant-like costume sneaks into the skylight of a strange compound. She crawls on the walls and climbs into a hatch similarly to an ant, leading herself into a dark hallway. She smells the area well and crawls around the walls.
"PUTANG INA MO!!!" A man could be heard beating someone whimpering.
The girl is revealed to be a younger version of Myrmex.
"TUMAHIMIK KA!!!"
*SLAM!!!*
Some blood drools from a crying woman. Several women are seen tied-up, beaten, and these men may have done something terrible to them. She smelled their scents thru the airstreams and realized something...
"Human traffickers... rapists... Sheesh... This is kinda out there in my job description..." she thought. "I wish Mr. Beastark was still alive to see this..."
"GODDAMN IT!!!"
Everyone goes quiet.
"I can't believe I'm part Spanish!" yelled Prometheus, walking in thru a portal.
The Reaper whispers. "(Pro, please. You don't have to define yourself according to your own race. And quit shouting.)"
"Dude. I'm practically a colonizer! I'm a complete failure! My Dad was right about me!" he sobbed. "I ahahahaham gay!"
"(Pro. You ARE a colonizer. That's your literal job description.)"
"But, I'm a Filipino!"
"(Prometheus. It's the mid-21st Century in your world. According to EVERYTHING you've told me, the colored people HAVE BECOME colonizers! Colored Supremacy is APPARENTLY A THING... Ahem... Sorry...)"
"Nuh-uh!"
"(Yuh-huh! Now, please listen-! Someone else is here... Two people...)"
"Yeah. It's the guy pointing a gun at our heads..." said Prometheus.
"What-?" The Reaper grabs the gun, making the man scream in the distance. Guns can be heard being shot only for him to scream as bones could be heard snapping and breaking... Then... silence...
Myrmex gulps, realizing that there's company. "(Ew. One of them didn't take a shower... *SNIFF*... Huh... Smells like they know I'm here...)" She begins crawling into the darkness.
*RATATATATTATATA!!!*
Several men, Filipinos, strangely enough, transform into Aswangs and shoot at the Reaper.
The Reaper blasts flames at them and burns most of them alive before pouncing at one and beating him to death. The Reaper then went to the next one and decapitates him.
Prometheus sighs. "Aw, man! My shoes are reversed! C'mon!" Prometheus sighs and casually takes off his shoes, removing some sand in it by slamming it in the wall before wearing them again. He ties his shoes.
"QUIET DOWN!!!" yelled the Reaper
One Aswang pounces at him only for Prometheus to yell "JUST A SECOND, PLEASE!!!" and grab his jaw only to crush it, killing him.
The Reaper takes out his scythe and slams it into the chest of an Aswang before tearing him vertically in half. The Reaper then burns all of them alive one by one. One Aswang pounces form behind. He swiftly spins and decapitates him. Another Aswang pounces from behind and the Reaper kicks him down and stabs his neck, killing him. One Aswang manages to pin him to the wall. Several more Aswangs charge and grab onto him as the Reaper begins charging up and yells, "HEATWAVE!!!" then blasting a massive wave of fire that melts their skins, killing all of them.
