The tallest building in Arc City stood like a sentinel, its spire piercing the night sky. Rain fell in a steady drizzle, creating a shimmering veil over the city lights below. On the rooftop, a lone figure stood, a girl of about fifteen years old, her silhouette outlined against the glowing metropolis.
She wore a red hood, the fabric darkened by the rain but still vibrant, a stark contrast to the night. Neon black straps wrapped around her arms and thighs, giving her a sleek, almost futuristic appearance. Her face was concealed by a red fox mask, the delicate features of the fox blending with the shadows and rain, adding an air of mystery to her presence.
The girl's posture was relaxed but alert, as if she were both a guardian and a specter haunting the heights of Arc City. Her eyes, hidden behind the mask, surveyed the expanse below, watching the city with an intensity that belied her age.
As the rain continued to fall, she lifted her head slightly, feeling the cool droplets on her skin. The city below buzzed with life, unaware of the silent vigil kept by the girl above. The neon lights reflected off the wet surfaces, creating a kaleidoscope of colors that danced around her, painting her in hues of crimson and shadow.
The wind picked up, tugging at her hood and the strands of hair that peeked out. She remained unmoved, a sentinel in the storm, embodying the spirit of the red fox—cunning, watchful, and ever-present.
The sound of the rain and the city below masked the subtle arrival of another figure on the rooftop. An older woman stepped out of the shadows, her presence commanding and calm. She was Raven, known for her stealth and precision, her dark attire blending seamlessly with the night.
"Fox," Raven's voice was low but clear, cutting through the rain. "It's time to get ready for our next mission."
The girl in the red hood turned slightly, her fox mask catching the faint light. She nodded, acknowledging Raven's presence. Her demeanor remained poised, the calm before the storm.
Raven approached her, eyes sharp and assessing. "We've got a high-priority target tonight. We need to be in and out without a trace."
Fox adjusted the neon black straps on her arms, a small gesture that signaled her readiness. "Understood," she replied, her voice steady despite the weight of the task ahead.
Together, they stood on the edge of the rooftop, a pair of shadows against the cityscape. The rain continued to fall, a silent witness to their determination and resolve. As the lights of Arc City flickered below, Raven and Fox prepared to disappear into the night, their mission clear and their resolve unshaken.

[ Few Month Ago... ]
A few months earlier, the sterile, cold light of the laboratory cast harsh shadows on the stark white walls. The air was thick with the smell of antiseptic, mingling with the faint, unsettling hum of machinery. In the center of the room, Megumin was strapped to an examination table, her wrists and ankles bound tightly.
Her eyes were wide with terror as a syringe filled with a glowing, ominous serum was prepared. The liquid inside seemed to pulse with a life of its own, a manifestation of the dreaded Honkai energy. Grey Serpent, a figure shrouded in a cloak of indifference, stood beside her, meticulously taking notes on a tablet. His expression was unreadable, a mask of clinical detachment.
"Please, no! Stop!" Megumin screamed, her voice breaking as the needle pierced her skin. The serum was injected into her veins, and she immediately felt a searing pain spread through her body, like molten fire coursing through her blood.
