Rise Of The Black Widow

Lilu stood there in shock. The old man ran to the side of the girls body hefted it into his l.a.p, and began crying. He did not raise his head and continued to sit there. The events that just happened had a very sobering effect on Lilu. This was her second crushing defeat in such a short time. She simply stood there, in her bikini like black armor, eyes closed. She tried to dive into her grove to have a private moment, but as soon as she tried to go in, it was as if a force propelled her back, keeping her just on the outside of it. She could see it, The trees, the mana pool, the cottage, but not Alice. It was as if looking at her world through a window.

The true gravity of failing missions was setting in. She was just another normal caster without Alice. She was fairly sure they were no longer in danger. She never saw who fired at them, nor did she see anyone nearby. They would have no reason to continue as their target was dead. Lilu hung her head, and while feeling for the old man, began to walk away. As much time as she had spent with the inquisition, it would raise a whole lot of questions if she were to be standing here with this deceased princess.

She had left everything at the house, and did not even have her phone. She did remember to grab the towel from the back seat and toss it over her shoulder. Maybe someone would think she was going swimming, in 50 degree ferenheight weather.

A little bit after the walk started the cold started setting in. She crossed her arms and began to shiver. Slowly she walked, her b.a.r.e feat tender on the rough dirt. She regretted getting that pedicure now. All she could do was walk, think, and cry.

She had lost completely. She lost to Ryan, She let the princess die, she lost Alice. She was cold, near n.a.k.e.d, and barefoot walking through a large open field area on a dirt road with sharp rocks. After a bit she channeled some mana to a root fire spell to try and warm herself. Without Alice it wasnt easy. She wrapped the towel around her shoulders eventually using it for the little bit of warmth it could offer.

Hours passed by, and finally the dirt stretch ran into concrete. Her feet were cut and her body had gone numb. She continued walking heading towards the nearest civilized area. Another hour passed on the concrete road till finally she saw a small corner store sitting in the desolate area. She walked up to the front door, silently grabbing the handle and pulling. The door did not open. She then looked through the dirty dusty glass as saw a mostly desolate interior. the shelves were cleared, and the lights were off. The store was closed down. Lilu sighed, and took a moment sitting in front of the store to rest her feet. She sat on the ground and covered her body as best she could with the towel.

As she sat there, she thought. Again she jumped in without thinking things through, and it had cost a girl her life. She really had to stop being so impetuous. She lowered her head and gave a silent cry. "I have to be better! If I continue on this way who will die next? Maybe it might just be some poor soul, maybe it will be one of my family, or worst myself." She then lifted her head staring onto the blue horizon. grey storm clouds slowly began to roll into her view. first darkening the horizon only a little, but as they seemed to collect and condense, getting darker and greyer. Lilus eyes had that icey glint in them. "I need to be cold, calculating, and brutal. This world is not for the soft."

As she muttered those words, Lightning struck right before her, scorching a patch of ground. The immediate rumbling of thunder and the shockwave of the strike blew her towel from her body. Lilu stood then. She stepped forward as icey rain began to fall from the sky in dollops. She turned her head to the sky, as if that lightning strike had confirmed her thinking. "I can not be weak, or they will use me and discard me when they are done."

The cold rain soaked her, the icey water washing the dust from her face. Her armor held tight to her bust and h.i.p.s. Her whole body seemed to chill from the icey rain. She did not shiver with the feeling, but embraced it. "I will become as cold as this rain." and then turned and continued walking. The freezing water seeming to not bother her. While her demeanor had turned cold, she forced her mana to produce warmth for her body.

While she walked her skill in pushing her mana without any help improved further. The rain continued to fall on her skin, but instead of her skin turning cold this time, the rain turned to steam and radiated from her.

The road slowly turned from desolate to ghetto. Run down buildings littered the sides of the cracked concrete streets. Her feet were bleeding, yet she did not seem to care. She left a long long line of bloody footprints that were quickly washed away by the freezing rain. One building had a group of men standing in front of it wearing the same colored jackets and hats all kicked to the left on their heads.

One of the thugs saw Lilu walking up their street. She saw them as well. She had no clue of their stats but she didnt care. Compared to Ryan they were probably trash. She attempted to ignore them as she walked by. The one who noticed her first motioned to his buddies, and all of them turned and stared at her. The one with the most gold chains hanging from his neck shouts at her "Hey girl, you look like you want some fun, we can show you some fun!" and they all stood up and walked towards her.

Lilu sneered at them "I dont want any, You couldnt handle me if you tried, so why dont you just F#<|< off and go back to circle jerking your buddies there."

They didnt like those words, the biggest of them pulled a crowbar from his pants, while the others all pulled knives. The leader of them barked back "Yo B!t<H, I was trying to be nice, Now I am gonna F#C|< you up! by the time we are done with you, you will be begging for more!" and they all moved to surround her.

Lilu was in a bad mood, it was unfortunate for these guys, but she was going to vent all of it on them. She was sure if her system was active she would have gotten a mission, but it wasnt, and there was no Alice to help her. She stopped and looked at them, an evil smile graced her lips as her eyes turned to that same ice cold look. "So you want me begging for more? lets see if you can even handle what I give you!"

The leader barked at her again "You got a mouth on you hoe, I am gonna put it to some better use than spouting that dirty stuff" as the guy with the crowbar lunged at her, aiming for the back of her knees.

All of that Weng Chun practice came in and Lilu took a step, lifted her leg, and lunged the side of her foot at the mans head. His crowbar missed her knee and her foot crushed his nose causing him to get knocked backwards, blood spraying from his face like a geyser. Lilu didnt bother waiting for the others to attack, she lunged forward backhanding one of the men across the face with her other hand coming up into his gut. With a deafening thud, the man hunched over and his lunch and some blood erupted from his mouth all over the floor. Lilu spun around and whip kicked him across the face sending him spinning in the air before landing face first into the hard cement.

The last couple of thugs aside from the leader rushed her with their knives from opposite directions. Lilu turned sideways and used her wrists to deflect their hands away from her body. Using the momentum of their own strikes she flows her hands in the air, directing their knives around her body, and then into each others guts.

To add insult to injury, because she was trapped between their arms and they were now stabbing each other, she spun and forced their arms away. This cause them to slice each others guts open, their entrails spilling onto the ground in a giant bloody display.

When the two men fell to their knees, grabbing their intestines and trying to shove them back into their bodies while screaming bloody murder. Lilu turned to look at the leader, an evil sadistic glint in her cold blue eyes. Blood was sprayed all over her body, but was slowly being washed away by the ice cold rain. She stared right into his fear stricken eyes "Lets see if I will beg for more" she says reaching down and grabbing the crowbar off the ground. "Come here big boy, let me show you a good time!" she coos out. He turns to run but Lilu manages to quickly move behind him. She bashed him in the back of the knees with the crowbar, a sickening pop is heard as the joints of his knees splinter through the skin around his knee caps. He screams and falls to the ground trying to crawl away. "Maaammaaaaaaaa" he cries turning into pathetic baby when the first bit of pain is felt.

Lilu walks up behind him, yanking his pants down exposing his twisting rear as he tries to scramble away. She simply picks him up by those pants with one hand, the other holding the crowbar. "Oooo I think I may just want some more of this!" she says with an evil laugh. Maybe something inside her finally broke, She grabs the crowbar like a javelin, and then rams it right through the mans dark star. a sickening tearing sound is heard as the crowbar goes half way into the mans body. He screams like a high pitched preteen girl when he is violated. Blood begins to spurt out around the crowbar "Yes MORE!" she shouts and begins to force the bar deeper. He continues to scream till finally his eyes roll back into his head, foam coming from his mouth and he passes out. Lilu twists the crowbar back and forth a couple of times before dropping him to the ground.

Then she simply continues walking, leaving the mess behind her. She didnt care if they lived or died, but she was sure they would never bother another woman again. It took the rest of the day for her to finally walk passed the front gate of their compound. The sun had long sense gone down, the moon and stars were bright in the sky. She finally opened the main entrance and stopped. Staring at the main hall of their home.
