Within a wide open area of the sewers, Cyclonicon managed to set up a base of operations while getting supplies, technology & weapons from his own ship which was hidden in an area outside of Royal Woods while undetected. Right now, he is speaking of one of his fellow Intergalactic bounty hunters via transmission.

Cyclonicon: It's good that you're nearly approaching earth.

The figure on screen wasn't completely shown, but the silhouette was tall & massively muscular, speaking in a bold, distorted female tone.

???: When I heard of the bounty for the Azurite and the host it's combined with, I had to see it for myself and judging by your condition, this human must be very strong if the wretch beat you.

Cyclonicon: (annoyed) Why does everyone I'm contacting keep saying that? The female human caught me by surprise and still didn't have full control of the Azurite's power! Compared to us, she's a novice.

???: Well, novice or not, I don't mind having a go at her! (A sharp grin is shown) When I beat her, put great fear into her, I will tear the Azurite's essence from the human's body & gain it as my trophy!

Cyclonicon: No. You heard the higher ups, Rizara wants the Azurite's essence & screwing her ain't worth it, trust me. The Reward for Azurite's capture is more worth than trying to cross the boss.

???: Tch. Fine. I'll at least have my fun with her before I retrieve the Azurite's power for you & your employer. It's time for the Azurite host to know... Pure, Brutal Horror.

Cyclonicon: I'm counting on it.

The figure's eyes glowed an ominous purple.

The next day...

Sammy was seen in her room, at her desk. Several papers were seen on the floor, crumbled up, the good twin was busy on her sketchbook and putting the finishing touches on the drawings of herself in her empowered form in her own style while looking at the pics of the sketches made by Lincoln taken on her phone, she was so impressed that she wanted to draw them in her own style and post it with the white haired teen online for comparison.

The more Sammy thought about it, Lincoln's art really helped her to inspire her hero attire. She really wanted to thank him big time for it, somehow.

Sammy: And... done!

She puts down on pen & pencil, picking up her sketchbook, looking at her own design of Lincoln's art of her empowered form. It looked good so far, pretty decent & she put her signature on it. She quickly got her phone and pictures of her art and texted Lincoln, Stella, Clyde, Zach, Liam & Rusty that she had a surprise for them. They replied back that they're at Gus Games n' Grub, even texting Sammy to come over to show them the surprise, Sammy replies back that she will. Getting her jacket, phone and sketchbook, Sammy gets up & takes her leave.

******

Later....

The Blonde twin followed the directions on her text and made it to Gus Games n' Grub. Sammy looked around the establishment, seeing the place living up to it's name, different arcade games customers are enjoying and the grub being a pizzeria with customers having a bite of... well pizza along other things like bread sticks, garlic knots, root beer and even others foods not just pizza based like burgers, fries, subs, hot wings, strawberry milkshakes, etc.

Sammy then heard Stella's voice.

Stella: Sammy, over here!

The blonde teen found Stella and the others at their usual spot, she smiled and headed over to them.

Sammy: Hey guys!

Clyde: Hey Sammy, glad you could make it.

Stella scoots over to have the twin sit by her.

Lincoln: So, do you need anything from the menu?

Sammy: Oh no thank you, I already had something before coming here. Maybe next time.

Rusty: You'll love the food Gus Games n' Grub has to offer, trust me. But anyways, what's the surprise you wanted to show us?

Sammy: Oh right.

Sammy then pulls out her sketchbook and shows the six teens her artwork of her empowered form. Each of them had their own reaction and expression of the sketches.

Lincoln: Whoa... you did very well.

Clyde: Who knew you could draw, nice!

Zach: The new heroine looks dynamic!

Rusty: AWOOOOOOOO!!! What a hotty!

Liam: My stars, she looks purty.

Stella: That is beautiful!

Sammy rubs the back of her head with a little chuckle.

Sammy: It's not that good. It's one of the new things I was trying out.

Lincoln: Not good? Sammy, it's amazing! It's my drawing of the new heroine in your own style and it's a masterpiece.

Sammy blushes a bit.

Sammy: W-Why thank you. I uhhh messed up a few times b-but I tried the best I could.

Stella: It's fine, not everyone gets it on the first try but you did really good, Sammy.

Sammy: Thanks Stella.

Zach: Uhhh Rusty, you can stop staring at the picture now. You'll end up drooling on our food!

Rusty was mesmerized by Sammy's sketches, Liam gave him a snack in the back of the head, making him come back to his senses.

Rusty: Wait? What?! Where am I?!! What were we talking about again? Oh yeah, that drawing is hardcore, such a super hottie, she can save me anytime~.

Awkwardly, Sammy slowly puts away the sketchbook.

Lincoln: Okay... anyway, wanna post our arts online tomorrow? I'd go for today but I have to attend Lana's go-karting game.

Sammy: It's okay. I'm looking forward to it.

Zach: Oh yeah, did ya hear that special ops force from the military is coming to royal woods?

Rusty: Wait, what?

Zach: You didn't see the news today?

Liam: Naw. What are they cookin' up in comin' to royal woods for?

Zach: Apparently, due to the battle at our school, they're gunning for the alien lady.

Sammy: Eh?!

Zach: My guess is that they want to take her away to do dangerous tests on her to discover her origin, lock her up to keep her away in thinking that she's a danger to the earth or to kill her.

Sammy gulped.

Stella: But that alien lady saved us from being vaporized. Surely, they made a mistake.

Rusty: Well, military forces can be cautious. Maybe they don't do vigilantes or something.

Lincoln: I mean, that's one of the traits heroes deal with, not everyone would trust them, especially those of authority types like the police or the military.

Clyde: True. Those types of individuals would clash with said heroes either to bring them in or take them out for the "greater good" of the world.

Sammy: (in her mind) I know some people like my hero half & some people dislike me but some sort of military force is after me?

Reflection Sammy: (in Sammy's head) The previous vessels of the Azurite have encountered situations like this before but don't worry, this won't be of much harm to you.

Sammy: (in her mind) Yeah but still, I gotta keep an eye on them.

******

Elsewhere, a massive, black & purple trim pod with metallic spikes was falling from the sky, landing in the plains with a huge, earth shattering thud, shaking the area. Within the huge crater, the smoke cleared to show the pod, which opened up as a mysterious creature walked out of it, standing tall. It was A humanoid alien who stood up at 9 ft 10, long neck length black hair slicked back with lower purple highlights, pale skin with a tint of purple with black veins, black eyes with dark purple pupils, vampire like fangs, black lipstick on said lips & possesses an impressive, massively muscular & voluptuous body with an overly large chest, big strong arms, strong legs, wider hips/thighs & a very large rear. She has four medium sized horns on her forehead & four spikes on her shoulders & elbows. She was wearing a black & purple armored/silver studded armored bra, a left spiked, black elbow pad/long glove, her right arm was pitch black with volcanic rocks with inner purple lava plasma underneath it, purple & black trim/silver studded trunks, black/silver studded knee armor & black armored boots with purple flames.

The female alien inhaled deeply before exhaling.

???: So this is Earth, huh? Tch, not very impressive.

She crouches down and hypers jump into the sky, leaving the crater behind, continuing the jumping to royal woods which wasn't completely far. A terrifying grin stretched across the female alien's face.

???: Based on what Cyclonicon told me, the female human was protecting her kind during their after some of them were put at risk, eh? What better way to draw her out than to cause some destruction.

She laughs maliciously as the female alien behemoth heads towards the city.

******

Downtown Royal Woods...

A couple of black & cobalt blue armored trucks were seen driving through the roads, getting random civilians' attention. Inside of them were various athletic or muscular men & women in black & cobalt blue bodysuits & armored S.W.A.T. like gear with armored masks and a metallic silver S.U.U. initials on the left side of chest, black gloves and boots as they were armed to the teeth. The trucks came to an immediate stop, the soldiers stepped out of the vehicles and formed a straight, front and centered line as one person stepped in before them, being the leader.

It was a tall man in his 30s, fair skin, had brown hair slicked back, cold blue eyes, a scar on the right side of his face, and an impressive muscular body. He wears black shades, a black trench, black & cobalt blue armored bodysuit, silver utility black gloves & boots.

???: Citizens of Royal Woods, we are here under investigation and to protect you all from the scum of outer space that invades this planet, our way of life, our countries & this city. I am Ron Steel, leader of the Steel Ultimax Unit (S.U.U.), searching for any signs of extraterrestrial activities, any form of those... vile creatures will be brought to us to dispose of. Starting with this one...

He pulls out a holographic orb, revealing Sammy in her empowered form. Some of the civilians mutter either for the man or against him with either agreeing to have the heroine taken away or disagreeing, praising the heroine for saving their lives.

Ron Steel: Some of you who are praising this intergalactic bombshell better get your heads out of your asses, wake the f**k up & smell reality.

Some of the civilians didn't take kindly to that and complained loudly, which the man in shades ignored as he continued.

Ron Steel: There are no "Good" aliens, mutants or anything inhuman! They exist only to get inside our heads, weaken our defenses, act all buddy buddy and then what happens? WHAT HAPPENS?! World destruction, reconfiguration, domination... You seen any suspicious activities, you notify us immediately, crimes of false information, harboring an alien, mutant or other beings inhuman as well as failure in complying will result in immediate Lockdown-

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!

Ron, his soldiers and the civilians were caught off guard by a building near them exploding. The civilians started to scream and run while Ron and the soldiers got their weapons ready, the leader of S.U.U. glaring intensely at the large fire, the female alien stepping out of the flames with a terrifying grin.

Ron Steel: You picked the wrong place to invade on Ron Steel's watch, scum.

???: Oh, look what earth brought me... (looks at Ron & his team; grin widens) Presents.

Ron Steel: Look, you got two options; 1. Surrender or 2. You attack & we bring you down.

???: Well, Ron Steel, The name's Rip Terra, and here's my opinions: 1. You direct me to the location of the host of the Azurite, 2. You run away for I don't have time to waste on weaklings or 3. You all come at me at once... spoiler alert, it won't end in your favor.

Ron Steel gritted his teeth, he saw how it is and the female alien named Rip Terra made her choice.

Ron Steel: Let her have it!

The male & female soldiers aimed their advanced blasters and fired at Rip Terra, who only grinned as she was being shot at with energy powered bullets however, it wasn't bothering her one bit.

It only incited her.

Rip Terra: Ok... OPTION 3 THEN!

She charged at the Steel Ultimax Unit, sounds of shots, crashes, yells and screams as black smokes from fires were rising to the sky.

******

Later...

Back at Camille's house, Sammy was seen on the couch texting her mom back, even showing her sketches she did. Tammy replied back, loving the artwork and hopes others will enjoy it as well for tomorrow. After a quick "I love you" text to & from her mom, Sammy places her phone down only for it to beep, she picks it up and sees a text from an unknown number.

???: (text) Hello Sammy.

Sammy was confused and a bit scared. She hesitantly texted back.

Sammy: (text) Hello? Who is this?

The unknown number replied.

???: (text) Someone you've met before. Someone you know really well.

Sammy: (text) I swore Amy if this is you trying to pull a prank on me, I swear...

???: (text) It's not Amy. If it was, I would've said "Samey" instead of your real name. I'm not your sister and I'm not an enemy, I'm actually a friend.

Sammy: (text) Then who are you?

???: (text) I'll leave that as a surprise. I'll be seeing you really soon, Sammy. It'll be a treat to meet you again, see ya.

The unknown number ended the conversation. Sammy was silent for a moment, who was this unknown person who texted her? Some hints were that she met this person before. She wasn't sure if the individual was a friend or an enemy or Amy trying to prank her. She'll have to look into this to see if this a prank or someone's trying to lure her into a trap for serious harm.

She then decided to head back to her room for a little TV time. As she sits on her bed and turns on the TV, a royal woods news report is shown with the face of Katherine Mulligan being on live.

Katherine Mulligan: This is Katherine Mulligan reporting to you live on royal woods news for a state of emergency-!

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Sammy: What the...?

Katherine Mulligan: It seems that we have another alien attack. During the arrival of Director Ron Steel & his Steel Ultimax Unit, out of the blue, carnage has struck in the form of a huge, female alien berserker!

The camera shows people running around, screaming loudly with police trying to evacuate them from the danger zone Sammy saw the tremendous destruction wrought upon parts of the city, it's buildings destroyed, vehicles totalled and flipped over, areas surrounded by flames.

Katherine Mulligan: Half of royal woods is entering armageddon, will all of royal woods be next? The Steel Ultimax Unit is trying to hold off and contain this monster, but even they're showing signs of difficulty-agh!

She & her camera nearly got hit by a flying soldier of Ron's division, the camera turning to see the fight, well, massacre, with Rip Terra knocking away, throwing and breaking each soldier to pieces. Sammy went pale at the sight of this terrifying force of nature on the news. More S.U.U. soldiers attempted to fire back at Rip Terra with energy powered bullets, advanced grenades & RPG Bazookas but it didn't do much to the berserker, who was engulfed in Black & purple dark energy.

Rip Terra: Is that all you had?! Worthless!!!!

She fires a massive blast from her mouth as Katherine Mulligan and her crew screamed & got out of the way, dropping the camera which was caught in the blast, making the TV to show static. Sammy couldn't believe what she just saw, the sheer brutality and the size of that she-beast.

Sammy: Who or what is that?

The spirit guide appears.

Reflection Sammy: That would be an Eradicatrion.

Sammy: An Eradi-what?

Reflection Sammy: An Eradicatrion, an alien race of brutal and frightening warriors. They live to fight, raid, conquer & strike horror into their victims throughout the galaxy by their means of intimidation, their size, their immense strength & fear induced dark energy which is nearly close to the Azurite's power.

Sammy: What?!

Reflection Sammy: Yes. One of the vessels before you fought an Eradicatrion, sacrificing himself to defeat the berserker. My guess is that this one is here for you.

Sammy was shaking from the information her guide was telling her ons par with what she witnessed on the news.

Reflection Sammy: I'm aware that you're scared but that eradicatrion will tear this city apart looking for you & the Azurite's essence. You know what you must do, what you signed up for.

Sammy nodded, she would be lying if she said she's not afraid, but right now, the twin couldn't back out. Fear is a part of the challenges of life, she needs to face this obstacle of destruction head on.

Sammy: You're right. If that monster wants me...

Sammy stood up.

Sammy: Then that's exactly who she'll get.

Reflection Sammy: Good.

Sammy's eyes glowed azure blue as she entered her alter ego, ready to fight & protect.

******

Downtown, Royal Woods...

Ben: When did a trip to the auto shop become an all-out WARZONE?!

Ben & Camille were seen driving through the wrecked roads downtown, avoiding running over any civilians trying to escape the destruction.

Camille: I don't know but we gotta keep out of the fire and don't hit anyone! Steer clear! Mush! Onward! Onward! Serpentine!

The car was driving as fast as it could, making swift turns and dodging fires, running civilians and damaged vehicles to get out of the warzone until something was thrown at their car front, cracking the front glass and bringing the car to a complete halt.

Camille: Ahh!

Ben: Son of a gun!

The two got out of the car to see a war torn Ron Steel on the car hood, grunting.

Camille: You...! (Narrowed eyes)

Ben: Ya know this guy?

Camille: Long story-

BOOOM!!!

Camille and Ben were caught off guard by another explosion as The Two saw Rip Terra stomping out of the fire, spotting not just her opponent/victim Ron Steel struggling to get up but Ben & Camille as well.

Ben: (wide eyed) Holy cow, that gal is bigger than a monster truck times 10! Who made you?!

Rip Terra: (smirks) Well thank you but right now, if you don't want to die, leave.

The two were shaken by her presence & pressure of power. Camille saw Ron Steel get up with a blaster to fire at the female alien but it still doesn't injure her.

Camille: Ron, stop firing at her! It's obviously not working! Run you fool!

Ron gave a side glare to Camille.

Ron Steel: I don't answer to you.

Ron kept firing at Rip Terra who moved in with a back fist to swat Ron away like a fly, making him hit Camille's car.

Camille: Really, again with the car?!

Rip Terra turns to Camille & Ben with a dark glare.

Rip Terra: Got a problem, human?

Camille: (glares) Why are you destroying our hometown?!

Rip Terra grins & grabs both Ben & Camille by their necks, lifting them up as they struggle to breathe.

Rip Terra: So you have some bravery, eh? Should've ran when you had the chance, now you'll both join the body count.

She applied more pressure to their grip to choke Camille and Ben. She stares at the two struggling, seeing them about to fade...

POW!!!

Rip Terra felt a strong force struck her abdomen, letting out a pained grunt in releasing Camille and Ben from her grasp, sent flying across the damaged roads & crashing into an already damaged school bus. Purple blood falling from her mouth & shaking off the damage, Rip Terra looks up ahead, catching sight of a pure azure blue light.

Everyone who was scattered in running saw the sight of the bright light, shock & awe. Camille and Ben were catching their breath in seeing the light in front of them, both squinting their eyes from how bright it was.

Ben: What in tarnation is that...?

Camille: So bright...

Soon, the light slowly dimmed but didn't fade, showing the figure in front of the two. Rip Terra gazed at the figure floating in the distance. It was Sammy in her empowered form, however, she was sporting her new hero attire and with a calm, serious expression.

She was now debuting as Lady Spectrum.

Rip Terra: (grins) Ahh... Finally.

Some of the civilians got a look at the Heroine.

Random Girl: Isn't that the alien hero girl from the news?

Random Boy: She's got a new look, bold & hot!

Random Man: She's here to save us.

Random Woman: Yes, beat that alien she-freak!!

The civilians were cheering, Camille and Ben were relieved to be saved by Lady Spectrum while Ron glared at the heroine from afar.

Ron Steel: ....

Lady Spectrum turns to the two.

Lady Spectrum: You two need to go, you're not safe here.

Ben: Okay, ma'am. Thanks for the save.

Camille: Alright. Give her a good ass kicking.

The two left the area.

Lady Spectrum glared at Rip Terra, who stood up with the grin never leaving her face. The empowered twin was silent but inside, she was enraged at the monster who had her aunt and uncle by the throat to nearly choke them to death and would've finished them if she hadn't interfered, she wasn't going to let her get away with that, not one bit.

Lady Spectrum: I know why you're here and I don't appreciate you causing mass destruction. So I don't think you'll take the easy way in leaving this planet, no, I think you'll get the hard way.

Her power flared, sending a shockwave as everyone, including Rip Terra felt that force of nature. The Eradicatrion started chuckling maliciously, her own energy flaring and sending her own shockwave to meet Lady Spectrum's, clashing immensely. Katherine Mulligan and her news crew with a backup camera were getting a close look at Rip Terra and Lady Spectrum.

Katherine Mulligan: Get every shot, this scoop will be a legendary breakthrough for my career!

Rip Terra: I am Rip Terra, Warrior of Horror! I am here for you, Azurite host & for another planet to raid! I hope you give me a good fight before I tear the essence out of your lifeless corpse, human!

Lady Spectrum: My name is Lady Spectrum, tenth vessel of the Azurite and guardian of this world. And YOU are not welcomed here!

The two immediately charged at each other, raising a fist mixed with azure blue (Lady Spectrum) energy & black and purple (Rip Terra) energy, both getting close to strike in a massive clash. Everyone felt the immense force of the two titans as Lady Spectrum and Rip Terra broke the clash and went at it.

The two were exchanging fierce and solid blows to one another, delivering strong punch after strong punch, swift & quick kick after kick and grappling each other. Katherine Mulligan and a few civilians were given a great view of the fight as it went up to the sky.

Katherine Mulligan: Let's follow them, we can't miss any shots for this scoop!

The news team went after them. Back to the two trading attacks, Rip Terra caught the next punch and grip's Lady Spectrum hand to nail biel throw as she crashed through 3 buildings, through a sea of fire, landing on another street, groaning a bit as the heroine kept her balance.

Lady Spectrum: She's really tough, even by exchanging attacks, this Rip lady ain't letting up.

She saw the Eradicatrion approaching out of the fire, radiating with black & purple energy.

Rip Terra: Hehehehehahaha... C'mon Spectrum!

She gestures her hands in a "bring it on" taunt, Lady Spectrum flies towards the Eradicatrion and fires energy blasts at Rip Terra who brushes them aside only to get an energy induced uppercut by Lady Spectrum, sending her flying as she flies after her. Landing on the rooftop of a building, Rip Terra rose to her feet, wiping the purple blood from her mouth, very excited.

Rip Terra: Good... very good...

She looks up to see Lady Spectrum flying in for a straight punch, Rip Terra saw it coming and jumped out of the way, grabbing her leg to slam the heroine repeatedly in the ground (A/N: Hulk Loki treatment) before aiming to throw her but Lady Spectrum used her free leg to kick her hand away, getting out of the hold & reached for Rip Terra in order to grab and judo throws her off the building as the female alien hit the road with a loud thud. Lady Spectrum jumps off the building to nail Rip Terra knee first into the ground, connecting it with extreme force, further expanding the crater she was in. Lady Spectrum backflips off of her and charges up energy and fires a quick beam at Rip Terra, resulting in an explosion.

Lady Spectrum waited & kept up her guard for Rip Terra wasn't going to go down easily. Her eyes widened as a couple of black & purple molten orbs were shot out of the fires, she would avoid them as they explode in volcanic proportions, more of them would be shot at Lady Spectrum, who dodge with volcanic like explosions occurring, she hear some screams as the heroine turns to see a couple of people trapped in a bus with the volcanic explosion about to reach them, she sprung into action, flying towards the trapped bus, removing the obstacles of damage vehicles & lifts the bus up and flies away to avoid the explosion, getting the people to safer area. However, after she saved them, her guard was lowered as Rip Terra got behind her, trapping her right arm & while using her molten arm to ensnare Lady Spectrum's neck, the heroine grunting from the searing burns.

Lady Spectrum: Ngh! Aaagh!!

Rip Terra: Shouldn't have taken your eyes off me, all that power and you waste it on saving weak lives!

Rip Terra grips Lady Spectrum and nails her with a Doomsday Saito Suplex. Lady Spectrum grunts in pain with landing awkwardly in her neck from that monstrous suplex, while she could heal quickly, it still hurts. She was then grabbed from behind by Rip Terra to hit one German Suplex, but didn't let go and hits a Dragon Suplex & still kept up the momentum and hits a Pumphandle Suplex.

Lady Spectrum groans, trying to get up as Rip Terra stalks her.

Rip Terra: C'mon Spectrum, get up! C'mon, Fight me... Fight me... Fight ME!

She turns Lady Spectrum around and hits a lethal headbutt to the heroine's forehead, knocking her back down, putting her in a pained daze. She stares above at Rip Terra's giant form and piercing gaze, which put fear into the heroine as the Eradicatrion grabs her by the neck and hyper jumps in the air and hits a purple & black energy induced chokeslam into the ground, forming an earth shaking crater.

Lady Spectrum was struggling with pain & fear on her mind as Rip continued to pummel her.

Rip Terra: (attacking her) All that power and too scared to use it when it matters most, you're scared of me, you're too soft if you're worried about protecting your human race rather than yourself. Friends, Family, all of that sentiment crap makes you WEAK!

Rip Terra went for another punch only for it to be caught by Lady Spectrum, who glared up at the Eradicatrion with her azure blue eyes glowing more.

Lady Spectrum: You're half right... I can be scared of you and what this power is about but I did sign up for this after the Azurite's essence went through me.

She grips Rip Terra's fist, making her wince as the heroine rose up in making the Eradicatrion back away while her fist was gripped tightly.

Lady Spectrum: But you're wrong... my friends and family here, they are what kept me going... to overcome the fears of the world & I won't let you or anyone hurt them or this planet.

Rip Terra growls.

Lady Spectrum: You wanna fight so bad, let's try it again.

Lady Spectrum nails Rip Terra with a powerful fist to the gut, making the Eradicatrion spew out purple blood as the heroine let go of her fist and proceeded to deliver an assortment of azure fiery induced fists to the gut of the Eradicatrion before hitting a palm strike of wind to send her flying backwards with great force.

Rip Terra: Ugh!

Rip Terra halted herself, glaring at Lady Spectrum who flew at her. The Eradicatrion attempts to throw a purple & black energy punch but Lady Spectrum avoids it and struck with repeated taekwondo kicks to Rip's face before avoiding a grab from the Berserker with a rolling flip in the air before coming down with a vicious knee to Rip's jaw, knocking her down. She was floating as Rip recovered and glared up at Lady Spectrum, growling but slowly began to grin terrifyingly, her energy radiating with sheer hunger and excitement.

Rip Terra: That's what I like to SEE!! GIVE ME A REAL FIGHT BEFORE I END YOUR LIFE!!

Lady Spectrum's energy flares as the two went up to the air, azure blue energy colliding with purple & black energy in their heated bout, both exchanging tremendous blows and lethal attacks that shook royal woods to the core from each shockwave. Soon, they soon break up the clash with Lady Spectrum floating in the air while Rip Terra landed on top of a tall building, the two glared at each other for a moment Rip Terra had a running head start & took off while Lady Spectrum starting flying in the same direction, not taking their eyes off the other as they begin firing rapid azure blue & purple and black energy blasts at each other while running/flying, many explosion occurring with some of the shots managing to hit one another but kept firing until both Lady Spectrum & Rip Terra reached a construction site, both connecting an energy induced punch to their faces at the same time. Both forces were stunned for a minute before they broke apart and attacked each other.

Lady Spectrum hits a swift combo with leaping, spinning back fist to connect it with Rip's face. She would then go for another but Rip Terra caught her, put the heroine in a Pumphandle position while powering up and slammed Lady Spectrum into the dirt, the entire area shaking immensely. She groans as Rip jumps high to deliver a fierce dark energy stomp, Lady Spectrum moves out of the way, the stomp forming a fiery crater. Rip smiles maliciously despite missing, turning to Lady Spectrum.

Rip Terra: Oh I like this...

She stomps towards Lady Spectrum, grabbing her from behind to squeeze her like a snake ensnaring it's prey. Lady Spectrum was gasping for air in trying to escape. Having an idea, Lady Spectrum stops struggling to muster enough strength to inhale a lot of air, closing it for a minute before exhaling a large gust of wind from her mouth to send her & Rip Terra flying backwards into a nearby bulldozer, the impact causing Rip to release Lady Spectrum as she front flips away to put distance between her & the Eradicatrion.

Rip Terra nearly fell to one knee, purple blood running down her mouth & wounds, breathing heavily while chuckling sickly, looking at Lady Spectrum and the injuries she inflicted upon her.

Rip Terra: Hehehe... hehehehehehe... Hehehehahahahahahahaha!!!!

Rip Terra was radiating with black & purple energy, spreading her arms wide, forming a pitch black orb with purple lightning surrounding it as the sphere expanded rapidly to colossal right before Lady Spectrum's very eyes.

Lady Spectrum: Oh no...!

Rip Terra: You really made my day, Spectrum! I appreciate the fight but now you must get a dose of true terror, let's see if you handle my nightmare bomb, if not, you and this planet are ashes! TAKE IT ALL HUMAN PUNK!!

She roared and threw it down at Lady Spectrum, who flew up to catch the nightmare bomb as she tries to hold the sphere back but it's immense force wasn't going to be pushed back so easily.

Lady Spectrum: Nghh!!

Rip Terra: Once you & the planet are gone, the Azurite's essence will be ripe for the picking!

Lady Spectrum: Can't... let this... happen...!

Lady Spectrum yells as she was eclipsed by the nightmare bomb while Rip Terra was laughing maniacally.

Rip Terra: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! One of my ancestors was able to destroy a former vessel of the Azurite and now I will repeat the history of the current one! My name will forever be known for eons for this moment, this amazing bout & the death of the current Azurite guardian! (noticed something) What?

She noticed that her nightmare bomb hadn't hit the ground yet, so she narrowed her eyes and looked closely. Her expression of pure shock is shown upon seeing Lady Spectrum within her nightmare bomb as something was happening to the attack.

Rip Terra: (in her mind) What the?! My nightmare bomb! What's she doing to this?!

The orb was getting smaller & smaller while Lady Spectrum inside of the attack, was absorbing Rip Terra's Nightmare Bomb into her body as ultraviolet energy surrounded her, grunting as her body began to pump up from the power absorbed, her muscular body growing to abnormal proportions with glowing azure veins visible to her skin & her eyes glowing completely azure blue while her wounds completely healed.

Lady Spectrum: Hrrgghhh!!!

The Eradicatrion couldn't believe her eyes right now as her nightmare bomb was completely absorbed as Lady Spectrum stood up all pumped up with tremendous power. Rip Terra was actually feeling fear for the first time in her life.

Lady Spectrum: (voice distorted) This ends now!

Rip Terra shook her fear away, growling angrily.

Rip Terra: Like hell it will!

Rip Terra roars and begins shooting a lot of molten spheres at the Heroine. She would quickly fly towards Rip Terra, dodging her multiple molten spheres, getting closer as The Eradicatrion went for a dark energy punch while the heroine readied her fist for an attack. The two were up close as Rip Terra went for her punch only for Lady Spectrum to duck underneath it & moved in to nail a multi-colored energy fist deep into the gut of the Rip Terra.

Rip Terra: ...!

Lady Spectrum: HRAAAAAAH!!!

The attack went deep into the Eradicatrion's gut as glowing, multi-colored cracks started to form off Rip Terra's body.

Lady Spectrum: GET OFF MY PLANET!!!

With her energy mixed with the energy she absorbed from her enemy's attack, her punch unleashed a multi-colored, shockwave beam that sent Rip Terra flying towards the sky, the Eradicatrion feeling excruciating agony as she let out a loud, pained roar.

Rip Terra: GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!

The Eradicatrion was hurled out of the earth and into space along with the multi-colored beam of light launching up like a rocket until it slowly began to vanish and there was no trace of Rip Terra. Back down to earth, Lady Spectrum was breathing heavily as she still felt full of energy, the power & abnormal muscles still hadn't gone down.

Lady Spectrum: Oh man, I feel like I'm gonna explode or something.

Ron Steel: Freeze!

Lady Spectrum turns to see Ron Steel and his remaining forces aiming their weapons at her.

Ron Steel: You're under arrest, alien scum!

Lady Spectrum: I'm under arrest? I just saved your lives!

Ron Steel: We don't take inhuman beings, villains or vigilantes, now surrender!

Lady Spectrum: Urgh?!

The Heroine felt bloated from the energy from Rip Terra's attack still in her and it & the abnormal bulk not going down.

Lady Spectrum: (in her mind) Spirit guide... W-What's happening to me...?!

Reflection Sammy: You absorbed too much energy than you can handle, still need to work on that. While you beat Rip Terra, you only used half of the energy from her nightmare bomb mixed with your own, the rest of it is still in you & is building up. It must be released.

Lady Spectrum: (in her mind) How?! I can't just fire a blast with it all out at once, it'll take the city & the people out!

Reflection Sammy: Luckily, You won't have to. You might help the city rather than destroy it with this new ability. First, fly up!

Lady Spectrum nods and flies up.

Ron Steel: Hold it!

They fired at Lady Spectrum who flew up for everyone in royal woods to see as she started glowing more with multi-colored energy.

Lady Spectrum: Now... what...?!

Reflection Sammy: Repeat after me, Azure Field: Reconstruction.

Lady Spectrum: Okay...! Azure Field... RECONSTRUCTION!!!!

She let out a loud yell as she released all the energy she had built up in a massive ultraviolet barrier that started to expand and engulfed royal woods. The civilians screamed in fear, thinking they were going to be wiped out but... that wasn't the case. Before everyone's very eyes, the damage from Rip Terra's rampage along with the fight between Lady Spectrum and the Eradicatrion was starting to undo itself, collapsed buildings went back up, repairing themselves, fires were out with exploded & damaged vehicles completely fixed, the roads no longer cracked or having craters, etc. Soon, the barrier faded as the city was good as new, like the damage and destruction never happened. The civilians were shocked but slowly began to erupt in cheers, chanting "Spectrum" over and over. Ron Steel gritted his teeth angrily and ordered his men & women to head back to base for this wasn't over.

Speaking of Lady Spectrum, the heroine was still floating with her body back to her normal yet ample bulk, breathing heavily with a small smile.

Reflection Sammy: You did good...

Lady Spectrum: Thanks. Guess everyone knows me better than they did the first time, given the new look and name.

Reflection Sammy: Indeed. You overcame the fear of a major threat and manage to beat the Eradicatrion with what you've learned but there are more trials & challenges to face.

Lady Spectrum: I know.

Her sixth sense went off as she caught something that was flung in her direction. In her hand was a card, black & silver a green, sharp metallic initials & numbers.

Lady Spectrum: (reads the call) Victor Industries?

She looked down in the direction of where the card was thrown, seeing a lone figure in a cloak, who teleported away. She wasn't sure about this but maybe the heroine should keep the card just in case this could be a possible ally. With her job done, she flew off to the distance.

At Camille's house...

On the news.

Katherine Mulligan: This is Katherine Mulligan reporting to you live on royal woods news. It seems that Doomsday for our city has been averted by the new sensational heroine that saved us all, Going by Lady Spectrum.

The news shows the image of the Heroine.

Katherine Mulligan: Not only has she overcome the big bad, alien berserker punk who was destroying our fair city but Lady Spectrum used her powers to undo the damage done, talk about good as new! Looks like some naysayers have been silent to know that Lady Spectrum is here not as a threat or destroyer but a protector of our city & the world, I am Katherine Mulligan & this is royal woods news.

The news ended as Camille and Ben were on the couch.

Ben: Yee-haw! This blue lit alien gal sent that punk titan straight to the Moon!!

Camille: Good. I've given props to the heroine's new look and name, Lady Spectrum got a nice ring to it.

Sammy: Hey Auntie & Uncle, back from the auto shop?

The two see Sammy walking out of the dining room.

Ben: Yeah, unfortunately, we took a... rough detour.

Camille: We were nearly choked to death.

Sammy: (worried) Are you okay? So you need medical attention? A neck brace?

Ben: Naw naw, we're fine. If it weren't for Lady Spectrum gal, our heads would've been popped clean off.

Camille: Yeah. I'm very thankful to her for saving us.

Sammy couldn't hold it as she tackles the two into a hug, soft sobs and tears escaping her.

Sammy: I'm g-glad you're o-okay.

While she was the one who saved Camille and Ben as Lady Spectrum but while she was enraged with Rip Terra's attempt to kill them, she also had fear in her mind of what would've happened if she got there too late? Thank goodness, that wasn't the case or she would have lost her aunt & uncle today. The blonde twin felt the two return the hug.

Camille: It's okay, Sammy.

Ben: Sorry for worryin' ya, pumpkin. We're still here & that's all that matters.

Camille: And thanks to that heroine, we'll be very grateful to her for this.

Sammy said nothing & was comforted by her aunt and uncle. Soon, they broke the embrace as Sammy went to her room.

Sammy: (in her mind) I know... I won't let anything like that happen to you two again. I promise I won't let anyone hurt you or anyone dear to me. Rip Terra was another one of many gunning for me and/or the earth & I'll be there to stop them, for I am Lady Spectrum.

Sammy's eyes glowed azure blue, taking another step on her journey as a hero & guardian.

To be continued...

(Chapter 9 is finished! Please vote, comment & let me know what you think of it! A new challenger appears, Sammy debuts her artwork to Lincoln & his friends, new S.W.A.T. Like units of the military are gunning for Sammy's alter ego and a bout breaks out, etc)

(For certain parts of the chapter. Sammy's debut in action as Lady Spectrum, I wanted to give her a good fight in the form of an alien berserker OC who craves fear & fighting in the form of Rip Terra of the Eradicatrions, any thoughts on her? Another one is who was the unknown individual who texted Sammy? Is he or she really a friend she's met before or is it a trick? Next, Enter Ron Steel, an old OC of mine from the previous version of my Loud Symbiotes/now named The Symbiote Sages story, who you guessed it, one of the three main shadowy figures who watched Sammy's first fight with Cyclonicon, leader of the Steel Ultimax Unit/S.U.U. who HATES aliens/mutants/inhuman beings good or bad, whatta ya think of him? And what is Camille's history with Steel? Whatta ya think of the fight between Lady Spectrum and Rip Terra? And who was the figure who gave a business type card to Sammy? And it looks Sammy is taking her job seriously as Protector of Royal Woods & Azurite Guardian of the World as Lady Spectrum. Who will be her next opponent? Find out in due time, next chapter will be a scary one in the form of the Mystery of Classroom 113. See ya soon, this is NexusCrow-X formerly known as omegacrow-nexus fading to black.)
