Sammy, in her new form, was backed up into a corner by the intergalactic hunter Cyclonicon. Her fear was rising at the sight of this alien, she didn't think aliens would exist yet here's one right in front of her, wanting something from her.

Cyclonicon: I'll say it again, human. Hand over the Azurite.

Sammy: I… I don't know what you're talking about.

Cyclonicon: So, you wanna act like you don't know what I'm talking about? Nice try, but my tracking device doesn't lie, it shows the energy signature of the Azurite that led me right to this precise location & right now… the signature is off the charts right where you are.

Sammy: B-But you don't understand! I'm trying to tell you that I don't know what this Azurite is-eep!

The sixth sense struck again as Sammy barely dodged a straight green beam from the alien's visor eye, piercing a hole through the wall, causing an explosion. Cyclonicon would fire more blasts from his signal visor eye as Sammy would run, jump and avoid the laser shots which made bigger explosions, this caused the school to rumble like an earthquake as students were panicking with the teachers trying to evacuate them out of the building.

Meanwhile, Sammy crashed through the restroom walls into the lockers, followed by Cyclonicon moving in to grab her by the neck, tightening the grip.

Cyclonicon: Still think it's wise to fool a dangerous hunter, human…?

Sammy: Ack! Agh! I-I’m not trying to fool a-anyone! *Gasp!* I don't k-know what this Azurite is or where it is!

Cyclonicon snarls and brings up his tracking device, showing a holographic image of the Azurite. Sammy gasps, seeing the exact same gem she found in that pod.

Cyclonicon: Judging by your expression, your memory's been jogged. The Azurite is a true gem of boundless, transcended power beyond anything those who tried to use it couldn't comprehend & it's worth a lot more than your life…

Sammy: (in her mind) It's the gem I found in that pod…?! So this hunter is here for it but it's not on me, it's at Aunt Camille’s home still, so how did he track it from it's energy here if it's not with me?

Then Sammy remembered when she was mesmerized by the gem or Azurite the alien hunter pronounced it, touching the gem, seeing her reflection as a strange sensation, then the shaking, then the glow, then the shockwave as it's light engulfed her with it's energy flowing through her body.

Sammy: (in her mind) Of course… the Azurite's energy signature… it's in me! Maybe that's why I changed into this as well as the certain things I was able to do like a superhuman.

Cyclonicon: (threatening tone) I'm not in the mood for silent treatments. My employer is paying me big time for the Azurite's capture & I don't leave a job unfinished. So unless you want the pain to end, you better start talking.

Sammy: (in her mind) Uh oh. Wait, if that gem did give me powers, maybe I can…

Sammy released her hands from Cyclonicon’s hold on her neck and rears a right hand back and delivered a strong fist to Cyclonicon's chest, making the hunter release her and was send crashing through halls and through the wall outside.

Sammy: Whoa…

She heard a war cry as Cyclonicon came back to grab Sammy again, this time ramming her through 4 classrooms & out of the school with a mighty throw. Sammy yells as she stopped mid air, seeing that she was floating in & out of control balance.

Sammy: Who-o-o-o-oa! H-Hey! I'm actually flying?! I'd be excited if I knew how to steer!

Cyclonicon then pulls out blasters and begins shooting green glowing bullets at Sammy, who was trying to get the hang of her new flight while avoiding getting shot. Meanwhile, the entire students body, teachers, staff & principal on the sidelines while some were calling the fire department and cops, most of the students were seeing the fight between Cyclonicon and the transformed Sammy, pulling out their phones to get the brawl on video.

Student: Whoa!

Female student: Is this real?!

Zach: An actual alien?! Are you all seeing this?! They actually exist!!

Liam: Seein’ it but reckon it be hard in believin’ it.

Rusty: Wow… that flying babe is super hot!

Stella: Rusty, not the time!

Clyde: Lincoln, you seeing this?! An actual superhero/supervillain fight! Judging by the rough and menacing exterior on the guy shooting up everything to hit the gal, he's the villain. And the gal flying is the hero.

Lincoln: I see… (in his mind) Wow… she's quite beautiful… oh man, I'm feeling like when I was 11 once crushing my subitute teacher Dimartino all over again or like my sisters' crush on my tutor, Hugh!

Stella: Hey, Has anyone seen Sammy?

Everyone looks around but found no signs of the girl.

Lincoln: She's must still be in the restroom!

Stella: I'll go get her! You stay here!

Rusty: Why? Can't we go with you?

Stella: (stern glare) Well it's a girl's bathroom, duh! Crisis or no crisis, no boys in the girl's restroom!

The boys understood as Stella went back in the school. Meanwhile, Sammy was dodging the attacks Cyclonicon was firing at her with his blasters with the girl flying in perfect position.

Sammy: (chuckles) Hey, I'm actually starting to get the hang this flying ability.

The sixth sense hit, making Sammy see a building billboard Cyclonicon shot up was about to fall on civilians walking by. The empowered girl quickly acted, flying towards the obstacle, the civilians walking around spot a big shadow over them, looking up at the billboard about to fall on them, some ran away while others were too frozen in fear to move until Sammy managed to catch the billboard.

Sammy: Gotcha!

The civilians were shocked by the empowered twin's appearance as she placed the billboard back up and went back to charge at Cyclonicon who activated his jetboots and charged at her. The two collided in a heated bout, trading solid hits and swift blows. Lincoln, Clyde and the others were watching in awe, getting it on video.

Cyclonicon: (attacking) So you're not just human after all, but that won't change. I will get the Azurite.

Sammy: (attacking) I don't know what you or your employer want with the gem but I can tell it ain't good so you're not getting it!

Cyclonicon: It ain't your choice to make!

Cyclonicon broke the stalemate with a punch to Sammy's gut, earning a pained grunt from the girl as he takes her by the arm and spun her around a couple times before throwing her in the direction of the students and teachers, Landing near them.

Sammy: Ugh, I'm gonna feel that tomorrow.

Slowly getting up, the empowered twin turns to find herself in front of Lincoln, Clyde and the group with phones still out. Lincoln, being the nearest person close to Sammy's face, blushes a bit at the sight of her, truly magnificent. Sammy couldn't help but blush too from Lincoln's eyes, blue & quite astounding up close, before snapping out of it.

Sammy: What are you doing? This isn't the safest place for you all right now!

Lincoln: Uhhh, yeah right.

Clyde: You have a point but who are you?

Sammy: Ummmm, not important right now, just go!

Cyclonicon activates multiple blasters from his armor, charging up green energy to full power aiming it at Sammy and the group.

Cyclonicon: Try this on for size!

All blasters loaded, the alien hunter fires a massive green beam down at the group. Everyone was frozen in fear, the blast too massive to outrun, Sammy was wide eyed and tries to think of something before flying towards the blast, spreading her arms wide to take the blast head on.

Sammy: Rrrrgghhh!!!

Cyclonicon smirks at his handiwork but soon his smirk slowly vanished, feeling something off. His beam was pulled in and engulfing Sammy in an orb of multi colored ultraviolet light.

Cyclonicon: She absorbed it…?!

Sammy: HAAAAA!!!!

The empowered twin let out a mighty yell, all the energy she took and shot it back with a multi colored beam straight at Cyclonicon.

Cyclonicon: (deadpan) Oh f**k-

BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

The beam engulfed the alien hunter, sparking a massive explosion as everyone braced themselves from the impact of the shockwave, the entire city illuminated by the immense glowing light. Later, the light slowly depleted as the empowered twin landed on her feet, breathing heavily while the students and staff were behind her in shock, the smoke clears to reveal Cyclonicon or what's left of him, his armor in a huge pile of scraps with a green puddle of slime below it.

Sammy: (in her mind) Wow… I-I won…?

She turns to the crowd as Zach yelled out.

Zach: That was… AWESOME!!

The entire crowd begins to erupt in cheers for the empowered twin for saving their lives, calling her a hero. Sammy was caught off guard but slowly smiles genuinely, taking a bow as it was no problem. Then she heard the voice of Stella inside the school via super hearing, calling her name. Sammy silently panicked, Stella thinking she's still in the girl's restroom.

Sammy: W-Well Ummmm thank you all! Happy to help! It's been a wonderful time but I have to go, see ya later!

Sammy quickly flew away from the crowd.

Lincoln: Yeah. See ya later…

Clyde: I wonder where she came from?

Zach: Maybe she has a similar origin to that Superman guy in the comics?

Rusty: Or Shazam?

Liam: Well whoever she is or where she came from, the gal really saved our bacon from being fried.

As the cops and fire department arrived, no one noticed the slime puddle that was once Cyclonicon slither away into the sewers.

******

Meanwhile, Sammy retreated back to the restrooms through the hole Cyclonicon made. Luckily, Stella was on the other side of the door which looks like it was sealed with rubble from the ceiling and fires all over.

Stella: Sammy! Are you okay?! Can you hear me?!

Sammy was back to full panic mode, she beat an alien hunter but now bigger problems have arise; Stella trying to reach her, her clothes still on the ground in tatters and she doesn't know how to change back to normal!

Sammy picks up her clothes.

Sammy: Oh man oh man oh man… what'll I do now…?! Her clothes are ruined and I don't know how to change back. C'mon, think, think, think!

Sammy's hands glowed blue as the clothes were engulfed by the light, before her eyes, her clothes were instantly put back together, repaired as if they were new again. 

Sammy: (in her mind) Okay… that solved my clothes problem but I need to change back & fast! C'mon, change back!

Suddenly, Sammy's body was engulfed by azure blue energy as a ring surrounded her, separating upwards/downwards, the twin looks in the mirror to see herself normal again, well, normal with her partial changes to her body before her transformation.

Sammy: (smiles) I'm back to normal! Talk about a miracle.

Stella: Sammy, is that you?! Are you alright in here?!

Sammy: Y-Yes! I'm okay!

Stella: Good, the fire department’s here, they're gonna break you out!

Sammy quickly put her restored clothes back on. Once she was fully clothed, Sammy saw axes hacking through the trapped door, making a hole.

Firefighter: You okay in there?!

Sammy: Yeah, nothing's broken. Just surrounded by fire and rubble, can you get me out?! The door's blocked!

Firefighter 2: Don't worry, we got a battering ram for that.

Soon, with a few rams, the door and the rubble was knocked down. Sammy quickly got out as Stella embraced her.

Stella: Oh thank goodness you're alright.

Sammy: Thanks. (Lies) I was just in the stalls when I heard a crash and spotted a strange alien in armor holding a strange empowered girl with white hair & blue eyes.

Stella: So you saw them too?

Sammy nods. The two got out of the school while the firefighters were putting out the flames and saving those trapped in rooms. Stella and Sammy met up with the group.

Rusty: There you girls are, you missed all the action!

Zach: Alien warrior vs Alien heroine, everyone has it all on video & it's trending!

Sammy: …?!

Clyde: I thought that alien warrior was going to kill us all with that incinerator like blast but she jumped in the way, siphoned the energy and fired it back at him. So epic!

Liam: A real banger of a fight!

Lincoln: Yeah. Truly a remarkable and splendid fighter but I think she's still a novice.

Sammy: (frowns) Oh.

Lincoln: I mean, don't get me wrong I'm grateful to the alien girl was saving us but it looked like she could use some practice, the flying for instance, her fighting style is good but a few flaws were seen and she may need a change of wardrobe.

Sammy thought about it with a frown, while she did beat Cyclonicon but to secretly admit it was out of pure luck or a miracle. Maybe she's not cut out for this.

Lincoln: But hey, every hero, superpowers or not, start out bumpy or beating the bad guy or at least surviving them out of instinct, a miracle or even luck but given the motivation, purpose, determination, the right tools & training, this new girl can be a true heroine of justice. And who says that alien warrior was the beginning, maybe more villains might show up for her or a different agenda, she's got my vote possibly being royal woods or even the Earth's protector.

Clyde: Same here. She has potential & maybe she'll pull it off!

Stella: A true symbol of girl power, she's got my vote too.

Zach: She managed to save us from being on an alien victim hit list, I'd say yes to her being a worldly protector!

Liam: She's got the strength of ten bulls plus two oxs, I reckon she'll do wonders for this town!

Rusty: She's all brawn, beauty and brain. A triple threat of power, I definitely see the super babe in spandex showing off as a hero.

As the group were listing their comments on the “new hero” of royal woods, Sammy couldn't help but smile & feel praised for it and maybe motivated, she has these new powers from a gem from outer space, maybe she could pull this off? That Cyclonicon guy could be the beginning as he explained that his employer wants the Azurite and will probably sent more hunters like him after her & put everyone at risk. She couldn't let that happen, perhaps she can do what it takes to be a protector, with enough training & other attributes, maybe Sammy can be a hero.

*****

In the sewers…

In the currents of the sewer, a hand rose from the waters, getting out and sitting on the concrete floor. It was Cyclonicon but without his armor and wearing a right metallic bronze looking armband and black and green trim shorts while exposed his single green eye. He snarls in low anger, being reduced to his slime form to get away was humiliating for him.

Cyclonicon: Damn… so the human doesn't just have the Azurite, it's merged with her somehow. Intriguing but I won't be put down so easily, she only got me by surprise… it won't happen again.

His armband beeped, Cyclonicon groans and answers the call, the shadowy silhouette of his employer appearing on a holographic screen.

???: I felt the beacon of the Azurite from your tracking device link disappear. What's going on?

Cyclonicon: Tch. Apparently, a human girl has the Azurite but not the gem itself. It's energy signature brought me to the girl.

???: (angrily yells) So the Azurite is useless now?!

Cyclonicon: (yells back) I didn't say that. I'm saying the Azurite's energy signature is within the human girl, like it's merged with her or something. I was able to witness the abilities she had firsthand and she caught me by surprise.

???: (disgusted tone) So a mere human beat you?! And you stand before me with nothing…? What a sheer disgrace!

Cyclonicon: (glares) Did you not hear a word I said? She caught me by surprise and besides when I was fighting, it looks like she didn't know what she was doing, her fighting skills are like that of a novice and what I felt was a mere fraction of the Azurite's power within her.

???: I see… and what do you plan to do about this failure?

Cyclonicon: For now, nothing. That last attack forced me to retreat in my slime form to reshape down here. I'm weakened and won't be able to fight for in Earth's weeks of 2. But I do have some friends in high places who can handle the matter until I'm back full health. However, like me, their services don't come cheap…

???: (glares) You have some nerve demanding more than me, Cyclonicon.

Cyclonicon: Or maybe you can come down here and do a better job. Oh wait, you're not even near the jurisdiction of the Earth. And who's to say that by the time you get here, the human would've already fully mastered the Azurite's power and none of us would have a chance. Threaten me all you want but it's the truth, what's it gonna be? Raise the price or lose your prize?

The shadowy figure was silent with red eyes burning with hatred.

???: ….Very well. Just get me the Azurite or the human in captivity to extract the energy until I get to earth and only then will you get your reward. The human will rue the day crossing me & denying what's mine! Don't fail me again!

The transmission ended as Cyclonicon.

Cyclonicon: Business is booming and the hunt is on.

Cyclonicon chuckles grimly as he started making transmission calls.
