???:"Comet Kid..."
Nia:"You have done your homework!"
Nia Noceda-Shaper (Alias: Comet Kid)
Age: 24
Skills: Hand-to-hand combat, Cybernetic enhancements
Occupation: Wife, Daughter, Licensed Vigilante
A year after the Acne incident, Darius officialy opened the BIPD and allowed Nia to join due to what she did when Acne attacked. She is a well-known cop, basically a licensed superhero; The Friendly Neighborhood Comet Kid.
???:"Indeed. I have studied you and everyone else who has been a thorn in me and my brother's plans."
Nia:"Who the fuck are you anyway?"
The figure grabbed the side of his cloak and ripped it off, revealing his glowing red eyes and the crescent mark on his face. He was an archivist. More specifically...
Aaravos:"My name is Aaravos. Over 10 years ago, your father-"
Nia:"Ugh! Chit-chaat!!"
Aaravos:"...Your father-"
Nia:"Chitty chitty chat chat."
Aaravos:"-destroyed our-"
Nia, spinning in circles and taunting him:"Chittyda chitty chaaat chaat~"
Aaravos:"YOUR FATHER DESTROYED OUR-"
Nia:"Chit chat! :D"
Aaravos:"Grrr..just like her father. You little shit!!"
Aaravos sent multiple strings from his fingertips, aiming to puppetify Nia. She yelled a quick "Uh oh!" and charged up energy within her cybernetic arms. The hole inside the palm of her hands began to glow orange as she pointed it at the strings, fire coming out and burning them in one fell swoop.
Aaravos:"What in the-"
Nia:"You didnt study hard enough because you did not take into account my brand new implants motherfucker!!"
Aaravos:"I dont have time for this.."
Aaravos tried to fly up to the very top, trying to reach it before Nia had a thick metal wire shoot out of her palm and wrap Aaravos in it, making him get stuck in the air. Aaravos was flabbergasted as he turned to Nia, who gave him a wink before slamming him into the ground. She then got into a sprinting position, her sandevistan glowing green underneath her jacket as she speedblitzed to Aaravos. Doing a mini leap halfway and dropkicking Aaravos in the head, making him tumble on the ground plenty of times before crashing into the Conformatorium wall with a large thud. Aaravos slid down the wall, landing on 2 feet while hunched and holding his stomach
Aaravos:"I will admit, you caught me off guard."
Nia:"I'm just that good, eh?"
Aaravos:"I have studied your movements for 10 years. Whatever you dish out, I will know. Whatever I dish out, however, you will not."
He slammed his hand into the ground, grasping it with his fingers as multiple blue squares appeared on the ground. The ground then got cut up in those same square shapes, multiple dirt cubes floating into the air. Aaravos pointed his palm at Nia and the cubes began to fly at her at mach fuck.
She pointed her palms downward and began to fly up into the air to avoid them, but some managed to turn before crashing into the ground and went for her. She stopped ascending as she blasted all of them to avoid the impact, creating a dirtcloud in mid air.
Aaravos then appeared from the dirtcloud and grabbed her by the neck, yeeting her into the conformatorium where she crashed into the wall, breaking it and going to circular room with multiple floors all having cells.
She tumbled into the middle, about to fall into the middle from a great height when Aaravos appeared above her and sent her crashing down with a downwards palm strike, cracking the walls and shaking the whole place.
The inmates were wondering what was going down when Aaravos slowly floated downwards, having his hands behind him as he slowly walked towards Nia who was laying on the ground.
Aaravos:"You may be strong when compared to these mortals. To us superior beings, you are weak."
Nia balled her fist as she punched the ground, getting back up slowly but staggering slightly. He raised his eyebrow, impressed by her determination as she lifted his head up in a swift motion, making eye contact while having her eyes glitch.
Nia:"Die."
Her sandevistan began to glow, having it be at maximum output. Nia vanished. Aaravos’s eyes snapped toward the sound of footsteps but there was nothing there. A blur tore across the wall behind him. He turned just in time. Nia’s fist passed inches from his face. She bounced off the opposite wall and disappeared again.
Faster.
She came from above. Aaravos tilted his head. Her kick missed. Nia gritted her teeth. Again. Left. Right. Above. Behind.
Every time, he moved before she could reach him. She went for one last one, charging up her leap and going for a kick but getting blocked by Aaravos who caught her foot with one hand.
Nia:"How is this possible!?"
Aaravos:"While you spent these last 10 years laughing, playing, slacking off; I spent that decade learning every weak point, fighting style and skills about you and everyone you love."
Nia bounced off his hand, doing a backflip and landing on her feet. She then brought both her hands together, creating a fire ball between her palms.
Nia:"PARRY THIS THEN YOU FILTHY ARCHIVIST!!"
She brought her hand out as the fireball got expelled from her palms as a massive fire beam, hurdling towards Aaravos. He simply brought his hand out and made his hand act like a prism, having the fire beam spread in all sorts of random directions except for him. Some of the beams melted the cell bars, freeing some of the inmates. They went out in celebration before the floor beneath one of them got hit, crumbling and making them fall.
They began to fall, screaming in fright and alerting Nia. She stopped firing the beam and activated her sandevistan, running towards the falling inmate and catching them last second.
Inmate:"Th-thank you.."
Nia:"Its just what I was taught to- GAH!!"
She dropped the inmate in pain who ran away. She looked down as she had a blade, straight to her chest while she could hear Aaravos talking from right behind him. The rest of the released inmates could be seen running around, trying to escape in the background.
Aaravos, taking a deep sigh:"Even though we are enemies, no civilization deserves to fall apart. I will put these criminals back in their cells, but in return I shall release 4 of my choosing."
Nia:"Go...fuck yourself."
Aaravos:"It was not a question."
He pulled the sword out and kicked her to the wall, making her hit her head on it and get knocked out unconscious. He then snapped his fingers as all the escaped convicts that were outside their cells floated back in, some flying through the front door due to managing to tun outside. They all got sat on their bed as the bars fixed themselves, making them collectively annoyed except for the one who got saved by Nia due to being shaken up. Aaravos then floated up to the very top floor, where one cell stood. Inside it was Graye, Odalia, Vitimir and Terra; all 4 jailed for life due to what they pulled 10 years ago. He landed in front of the cell, his footsteps alerting the four as he touched the bars. The metal beams began to dissolve into star dust as the loyalists walked out of the cell with ease, free once more.
Terra:"We are eternally grateful, Grand Huntsman."
Aaravos:"Archon was killed by that wretched 'Planet Shaper,' and I have been planning my revenge for the past decade. However, I will need your assistance in return of me rebuilding your base of operations."
Odalia:"That is?"
Aaravos:"His blood. I have plans for it, plans that will make him grovel at my feet."
Vitimir:"Slight problem, they confiscated them all from us when we were first imprisoned and had that same Shaper just use it for his own gain."
Aaravos:"Hmm...that is indeed troubling. However, it matters not. Right now, we must prepare for what comes next."
The four nodded as they walked outside, passing by Nia's unconscious body while doing so. While walking, Aaravos suddenly stopped as he felt a tug on his right leg. He looked down as he saw Nia, crawling on the floor and grabbing his ankle. She pulled herself towards his leg and bit on his ankle hard.
Aaravos:"What is this? A futile attempt?"
Nia, muffled:"I am sucking...your magic. Who told you...I am fucking done!?"
Aaravos:"No one."
He pulled out his own sword and cut her cybernetic arm off, having sparks fly from the severed hand as it let go of Aaravos's leg. She tried to get back up with the low amounts of magic she managed to steal, only to get kicked into the wall again.
Aaravos:"I declared you are done on my own. Isnt it tiring to have our fire estinguished and reignited, in the millions of times?"
Nia sat while having her back to the wall, looking like a dead corpse and not uttering a single word. Aaravos waited for her to answer for several seconds before coming to the conclusion that she was knocked out cold. He ordered the four to follow him, where they can fully begin his plan for vengeance.
