2014-2015

Back in Moscow, Russia, right after Evelyn O'Reilly as Black Hawk, Kelly, Val and Brooke left the empty warehouse room, Nicklas Backstrom, Brooks Orpik, and Brendan Holtby finally move forward and swarm the unconscious Alexander Ovechkin.

"Ovi?" Nicklas questions, squatting down and checking for a pulse. There is one.

After a few seconds pass by, Alex jerks awake and groans in agony. He cradles his head with his hands, still feeling dizzy from the blow to his head. "Who knew she'd have that in her?!" he stutters, between gasps of pain.

"Are you okay, Ovi?" Nicklas asks. "She landed a pretty solid blow to your head."

"Yeah, yeah."

"I don't know why I didn't see it coming."

"Because the place was bathed with PCF. No powers, except mine. That is why, Backs. Moreover though, how are we going to get that Dallas Star?!" Alex growls. He gains control over his dizziness and gets to his feet.

"I don't know, but they all know about you and your powers now. It'll be twice as hard to get them," Holtby states, folding his arms.

Alex faces him, snarling, "YOU KNOW WHAT HIS SISTER DID TO ME?!?!"

"Yeah, but--" Holtby begins to say.

"But nothing, Ulianna betrayed me - us - and she'll be looking for revenge against me, as I will be looking for revenge against her, and when she attacks...she's not exactly the nicest person or the weakest! She's got the advantage and that Dallas Star...he was the key to me having the upper hand on her...but to hell with that plan now!"

"She'll never know about you kidnapping Val," Orpik remarks.

"You don't know her like I do, Holts. She'll find out, if she hasn't already. After all, I was the one to mentor her. I wouldn't be surprised if she knew about it already. We need to get out of here and return to the new lair. It's much safer." Alex glances around the warehouse room nervously and then motions for his friends to follow him.

They scurry out the back exit door. Alex waves his hands and gets rid of the enchantment the building, producing a blinding red flash from the building's exterior as well as his hands. They vanish down the streets and make it to their lair, which is a government building. They dart up the stairs and inside.

Alex halts at the door and turns to look back at the streets and in the direction of the warehouse building. "I'll get you Valeri Nichushkin and I'll make your sister pay with your slow, painful death!"

With that, he spins and enters the building, slamming the door behind him. Like the warehouse, this place is enchanted with the "Power Cancellation Field" and the building glows red at their entrance, before fading into the normal look.

Meanwhile,

"Alright, where are you Alex?"

Ulianna Nichushkin makes her way through the streets of Moscow. She morphs into an anthro snow leopard cat and arrives at the warehouse, where Alex and the others are. She sneaks around to the side, intent on her mission and finds another person crouched down. This person has on a black cloak and hood and wears a pair of high-heeled boots. Ulianna relaxes a little bit at the sight as though she knows this person.

"Anything on Ovechkin, Kat?" Ulianna asks.

"Kat" spins to her, pulling back the black hood to reveal shoulder length curly red hair. She shakes her head, maintaining a stern look on her face. "Just tracked him to this place after I spotted him in the streets of Moscow. Holts, Backs and Orps are with him. So far he's just been talking to his friends...and he's cloaked the place in serious PCF."

"Of course he did. He's setting a trap for someone, Kat. But who and why?" Ulianna questions.

Kat shrugs. "Luckily, we'll find out as he just sent Holts and Orps off somewhere. I can only imagine this is a serious scheme of his."

"Yeah," Ulianna says.

"It's a good thing I brought this," Kat remarks with a smirk as she pulls out a hand pistol and a bunch of small black discs. I may need them!"

"You're right. The second I enter, I'll be without my snow leopardess powers," Ulianna says, folding her arms. "And I'd prefer to rake my claws across that bastard's face. Instead, I'll just be human!" She snarls and lets out a loud hiss, wrinkling her nose up and twitching her whiskers.

"Nothing wrong with that. Just means you have to work harder to be on top...have various weaponry...that sort of thing!" Kat says. "Really turns the guys on." She flips the gun in her hand and winks at her friend.

"Yeah, you're really racking in the boys with that gun and look."

"Hey, I'm bound to catch one sooner or later, right?"

"Keep telling yourself that Katiya."

Suddenly there is loud feminine scream from inside the building and Katiya and Ulianna turn back to a dirty window and peer into the warehouse. Ulianna growls like an unhappy kitty cat and her tail flicks back and forth as she watches Holtby drag Val into the room and tie him down to a chair under the orders of Alex.

"He has my brother!" Ulianna hisses. Her tail flicks in anger and puffs out and her ears pin backward. "That's why he's used the PCF!"

Katiya nods and loads her gun getting it ready for action. Val jerks at the ropes and shouts something in Russian at Alex. Ulianna nor Katiya hear it clearly. Then Alex slaps Val on the cheek and rounds him. Ulianna is bewildered. It is almost like it isn't a trap for her. She isn't even sure Alex knows that they are there. And yet, he must know that they are there...either way, she isn't thrilled to be seeing her baby brother tied down to a chair.

"I'll kill him for this!" she hisses to herself as Katiya cocks the gun and looks ready to pounce.

Ulianna continues to watch as Evelyn and Kelly dart into the room and argue with Alex, who eventually has Nicklas gag Val. The cat lady hisses again and looks at her friend with wild yellow-ish eyes. "I swear, I'll kill him for this..."

Katiya looks at her with piercing blue eyes. "You know you can't go in there, Ulianna. Your time will come for revenge."

"I'll claw his eyes out!" Ulianna snarls.

Evelyn punches Alex in the face and knocks him out cold. Ulianna perks up, stopping in the growling, hissing, flicking of her tail and returns her ears up straight. She cocks her head in curiosity. She sits back and says, "Кто это? (Who's that?)"

Katiya puts her gun away, stuffing it into a holster on her waist. "Я не уверен. Но она на нашей стороне. (I'm not sure. But she is on our side.)"

"Это то, что кажется. (That is what is seems.)" Ulianna morphs back into a human and folds her arms. "Looks like I need to get to know her more. She can be my secret weapon against Ovechkin."

She watches Evelyn untie Val and save him and she nods. "I know my baby brother will be safe with her for now. I must focus on getting a plan ready to attack Ovechkin. It's war." She turns from the scene and nods to Katiya.

They both walk off, heading in the opposite direction of the government building, unaware that it is the lair of Alex and his friends.

Present Day (2015-2016)

"Почему вы должны пойти? (Why do you got to go?)" Val whines, pouting his lip. He is still in his Arrow Hawk uniform, but without his bow.

Ulianna giggles to herself. She puts a hand on her younger brother's shoulder. "Я должен вернуться в Россию. Мне нужно, чтобы увидеть моего друга Kat. (I have to get back to Russia. I need to see my friend Kat.)"

"Ой. Вы должны идти сейчас, хотя? (Oh. You have to go now though?)"

"Да, Тайлер узнал все, что нужно знать. И его собака супер. Я больше не являюсь здесь необходима. И я скучаю по России. (Yes, Tyler has learned everything he needs to know. And his dog is super. I am no longer needed here. And I miss Russia.)"

"Я тоже. (I do too.)"

"Но вы играть в хоккей, я не знаю. Я должен идти. (But you play hockey, I don't. I must go.)"

"Ты прав. Позаботьтесь Ульяна. (You are right. Take care Uliana.)"

Ulianna Nichushkin bids farewell to her brother in Dallas, Texas. Then she hurries down the ramp and into the plane. She takes her seat, looking out the window at the Dallas area. She knows what she must do. She must return to Russia, to Moscow and find Katiya Kuznetsova, her friend.

They must search, find and destroy Alex Ovechkin once and for all!
