She wears some white suit that seems to be a lab outfit but most interesting is a black strangely shaped gas mask covering most of her faceshe violently struggles against the persistent scientists who have yet to notice SK standing in the room until he knocks one of them out with his staffSK: You all have five seconds to leave this room or you’ll be leaving in five hours in a body bag the scientists look at each other before all simultaneously deciding to run out the door leave SK alone with the surprisingly not frightened teenagerSK: Why are you here? What would a child do to deserve this place?the teen looks at her restraints and then at SKSK: understanding immediately he pulls out his fan and slashes the restrains freeing the teen Let me guess, meta human?the teen nods before a squad of half a dozen guards burst into the roomSK: Stand ba-the teen doesn’t let him finished instead pushing in front of him and ripping off her gas mask then exhaling a smog cloud of yellow gas towards the guards causing them all to panic and rush for safety with most of them dropping unconscious before reaching the doorthe girl puts her mask back on and looks at SK before speaking in a raspy voice That’s why I’m hereSK: That’s very impressive, what was your name again?the girl pauses looking at the unconscious guards before looking into a mirror that’s conveniently there Call me TokSikMeanwhile beneath the catacombs of Parisa familiar spider themed villainess wearing a black widow mask walks purposefully into a large open and empty circular room, at the centre lies a throne where a foreboding figure sits wearing a gold bird mask complete with deer antlers as well as a white cloak and golden gauntlets with glowing red gemsthe spider bows before her master before speaking up My Lifegiver, I am humbled by your prese-Nitche: -Just get on with itSpider: R-Right my lord, it appears a woman has taken interest in Eagle as you have, she looks to be an ally.

The creature being a shadow is difficult to fully seeNitche: Eternal One? What do you know of thisa deep voice emanates from the shadow Do not fear Nitche, she is-Nitche: -She is supposed to be dead!Eternal One: increases his size larger to further assert dominance She will not be an issue, what will be an issue is your well being if you choose to interrupt me again Nitche: How could she possibly return? She died centuries ago!Eternal One: Your miraculous is not the only source of power able to defy death but of course it is the most usefulNitche: If she came back once I’ll have to make sure she can never come back again Eternal One: That bird your servant mentioned, he has the ability to reanimate the fallen, I’ve seen it happenNitche: You knew about this and didn’t tell me?!Eternal One: I assumed the bird perished along with the species he was created to mimic, the species you drove to the brink of extinction to satisfy your need to continue living and look how that’s going, you can stand up these daysNitche: Will you stop mentioning the thunderbirds it was one species I nearly eradicated, just one!Eternal One: Horned Serpents, Piasa Bird, Pukwudgie, Wampu-Nitche: Ok so I’ve eradicated a few more species but it’s not like anyone will miss themEternal One: he suddenly grows to tower over Nitche You arrogant you dare act like the destruction of ecosystems means nothing, I gave you the location of the vulture, I taught you how to harness the power of the kwamis, I GAVE YOU EVERYTHINGNitche: Yes, but that’s more so because you don’t have a choiceEternal One: shrinks back down to equal size to Nitche Don’t think I wouldn’t tell your precious followers the truth of your historyNitche: Don’t you dare Eternal One: Do you think they’ll worship you once they find out what you’ve done, the people you’ve killed, you even killed your own-he gets cut off by Nitche throwing a sickle into the wall the shadow casts itself on, cracking the wall but leaving no effect on the Eternal one other than surprise So there is a spark of humanity in you…let’s see how long it lasts
