Tiger Lady

I See a Red Door...

Bria was looking at herself in the bathroom mirror in Arthur's mansion. Slowly driven to madness, she looked at herself, knowing that she was traumatized by seeing her parents, aunt and uncle die.

"The old me isn't good enough." She said to herself. She smashed the mirror by throwing a brush at it. The mirror shards fell on the vanity table. She was so upset. She rushed into Arthur's private room and stole a black shirt with a red skull on it. She ripped off her white shirt and replaced it with the red skull shirt. She combined it with skinny black jeans and black high heeled boots and accessorized with skull earrings. She even sprayed her hair black with semi- permanent black hair dye spray. Her watch was becoming corrupted by her insanity, and it had a skull symbol on it. Gone was the wholesome Bria Lancaster and a new, darker, edgier Bria was born. She went down to the Tiger Lady HQ lair to check on Layla.

"Bria, what's with the getup? I gotta say, it's never too late to start a goth phase." Layla smiled, laughing.

"I am on a quest for vengeance." Bria told Layla. "Tell me anyone you know who has connections to the Chinese Government or the Ten Gervaise, I WANT NAMES!" She grabbed Layla's neck.

"Well, I did date this guy from Atlanta Technical University." Layla thought of one of her ex-boyfriends.

"What does he look like?" Bria wanted to know more.

"Well, he has blonde hair, is a total frat dork, and he owns a business that has assets in China."

"What is this business!" Bria sounded like she had a vendetta against China and the Ten Gervaise.

"It's a designer brand called Pina that has an online store and a brick-and-mortar store in Midtown." Layla explained. "They have factories in China."

"Then we enact vengeance on him and his entire operation!" Bria was intent on killing the man. "Where is he?"

"He's still at ATU, and it's Friday afternoon so he could be at a Taylor Swift dance party." Layla explained. "He's a Swiftie."

"Well, whatever he is, we find him and take him down." Bria looked for Zuri, but she was nowhere to be seen. Bria's phone rang. She answered it.

"If you ever want to see your cousin again, you will meet me at the OMG house on the ATU campus."

"Sounds like we gotta run!" Layla started up the TigerMobile while Bria rode shotgun. They were traveling at top speed to Midtown and saw a number of students on the Frat Row chugging the beer keg and playing beer pong. In the Omg dorm, the man Layla mentioned was dancing to "We are Never Getting Back Together" by Taylor Swift with some friends while chugging a beer keg. Layla came to speak with him.

"Dennis O'Connor, we need to talk." Layla told her strawberry blonde and muscular ex-boyfriend wearing the Omg colors, red, mustard yellow, and black. His red and yellow letter jacket had the Greek letters Omega Mu Gamma on it. A transformed Bria grabbed the boom box where the music was coming from and smashed it on Dennis's head.

"Tell me about your partnership with the Ten Gervaise!" Bria threatened to kill Dennis.

"I won't!" Dennis protested. Bria threw him into a table, breaking it. She stomped her foot on Dennis's leg.

"Ok, hotshot, tell me, where is Zuri?" Bria wanted to know her cousin's location.

"She had too much to drink, she's in the bathroom!" Dennis confessed. Bria escorted Dennis inside of the frat house. Zuri could be heard chatting on her cell phone from the bathroom door.

"You said Zuri had too much to drink, so how did she have time to hunker down and chat on her phone?" Bria interrogated Dennis. Suddenly, Number Eight, Zolgo showed up. He was a 70s disco archetype with a golden afro and a cop mustache, sporting aviators and a gold and white disco suit.

"Now it's time to get funky!" He pulled out his cane that shot rainbows that cut through vases of flowers, shelves, and even a photograph of a scantily clad Jennifer Anniston.

"Who's got the moves!" The other frat members threw pies at him, but he sliced the pies with his rainbow cane.

"Dennis, my man!" Zolgo told Dennis. "Do your old pal a favor and take care of this witch bitch!" Bria was boiling with rage. She turned into her Amazon mode, now having black and red armor instead of orange and black. She dodged Zolgo's attacks while Zolgo shot rainbows around the room. She pounced to the ceiling, preparing to strike from above. Layla joins in to assist Bria, turning into her Amazon form. She shoots at Zolgo with her 9mm, but Zolgo barely feels a thing.

"Stinging like a bee, huh?" Zolgo taunted. "Well, I got so much honey that the bees envy me." He shot rainbows out of his cane, pushing Layla to the ground. Bria dropped down, doing a vertical sword strike, breaking his cane. A large rainbow explosion came shooting out of the shattered cane, causing Bria to get hit with severe recoil. Bria crashed into a cabinet with fine china, seeing the shards of plates and cups dig into her skin. She was cornered with Zolgo approaching her.

"You seem in a very dark mood." Zolgo picked up a jerry can and splashed gasoline on her. He then pulled out a lighter. "How about you lighten up? He attempted to burn Bria with his lighter, but Dennis hit him on the head with a golf club, sending him falling to the ground.

"Four!" Dennis joked. Layla got back up and chopped off Zolgo's head like a woodsman chopping a log. Zolgo's body disintegrated into black sand, and the sand vanished.

"We should call an ambulance." Dennis proposed. He called 911 and waited for the ambulance to pick up Bria. With Bria crippled in battle, she was taken to Northside Hospital, where she would recover.
