Anansi
"Who's Anansi? Sorry, just.... Could you explain everything?"
"I guess.... Let's do a rewind, shall we."
.
*Many years ago*
Lila was on one side of the room, Alya was on the other. Both of them held a staff in their hands. Alya glared, bags under her eyes. Lila's first impression of her? Cold, distant, hella annoying.
"Begin!" Nightrift commanded.
The two both fought like this over the past week, ever since Alya was brought in. She's always so mopey, no fun to be around. Lila arrived here a few weeks beforehand, it forced Lila to focus more on her new friend. Well, actually, she wouldn't exactly call her a friend.
Alya had her pinned down, Lila saying "Wow, you must like seeing me pinned down, don't you, Alya?"
Her flustered expression was all the distraction she needed to knock her to the floor, turning the tables.
"Rule number three: Don't let your enemy distract you." Nightrift scolded, minutes later. "Alya, you need to not use so much force. I don't expect you two to get along, but I do expect you to tolerate each others presence."
With that, she left the two alone.... Surrounded by weapons.
"You know, I bet Madame wouldn't mind if we fought again.... But we both know that I would win." Lila said, looking to Alya.
The two eleven year olds didn't move, before Alya sighed, red eyes glistening with competitiveness.
"Get your gear, I wanna beat you at the top of your game." Alya said, straight to the point.
Lila grinned, happily leaving to get her gear. In a few moments, she returned, Alya taking out her costume made knife. She pushed a button, the blade firing out. Lila herself attached two red bracelets to her wrists, a technological glow coming from them.
"Ready?" Alya asked.
"Ready!" Lila responded.
The two charged at each other, Lila's bracelets creating holograms of her, while Alya's blade glowed in the light.
*A couple years later*
"Alya, Lila, you two have a new task." Madame Nightrift announced, the two moving in front of her.
The two had grown well, personally designing their own technology. While Lila specialized in holograms and illusions, Alya specialized in combat and explosives.
"You two.... Your help has been requested by the police. They need help with a case, the mysterious villain known as Anansi. I trust you two to can handle this?"
"Of course, Madame!" Lila said, ready and willing to fight someone.
"Yes, Nightrift." Alya said, a lot more easygoing and determined.
The two left out, making their way on foot.
"So.... What do you think this Anansi case is about? Surely the villain must have a reason for doing.... Whatever it is they do." Lila pegs, wanting a conversation.
"Huh.... Odd, I kinda didn't think about it like that. I'd say that the villain must be recent, only popped up around a year ago. We've taken on tougher threats, Lila."
"I still wonder who might be under the-.... Alya, on our six."
Alya peaked out the corner of her eye, seeing a shadow following them. Lila and her turned into a dark alley, fully intent on causing physical harm to the villain-
*Present*
Nino and Lila both paled, hearing footsteps approach.
"Crap! Hold on!"
A teacher walked into the bathroom, seeing absolutely no one. Once they walked out, A red shimmer revealed Lila and Nino in the corner of the room.
"I really would like to continue this discussion, but right now I need to focus on not dying or getting caught!" Lila said, Nino nodding in agreement.
*That night*
Furor leaped across the rooftops, following a suspicious signal that he got from his fan. Now, it was dark probably illegal to follow a lead on this mysterious Anansi character, but who was gonna tell him no, Ladybug?
Skip to the good part.... You know what it is!
A dark feeling creeped up his back.... His peacock sense activated, Furor looking around in fear. He spotted a golden thread.... Actually, was that silk? His peacock sense completely shut off, startling him.
".... Welp, guess that's another successful mission for Furor!"
Golden webbing attached to his back, a force pulling him down into an alleyway. He groaned, before looking up to see his attacker. Yellow mask was seen in his vision, the eyes being covered in white lenses, dark brown surrounding them. A brown hood was pulled over their head, gold colored cape on their back.
Their hands were covered by huge golden gauntlets, spikes covering the wrist of them. The boots they wore had a similar design.
".... Are you Furor?"
The voice came out distorted and feminine, seeming effected by a voice changer.
"Yes.... Who's asking?"
The person clenched their fist, and it was then that Furor realized something....
She doesn't trigger peacock sense.
Crap.
She shot more golden webs at him, Furor dodging what he could see. He took out his wings, flying up and trying to escape.
"No one escapes from Anansi!" The woman growled, a gold web wrapping around One of Furor's wings.
A sickening and painful snap came from the wing, Furor falling from the sky. He groaned, Anansi walking towards him.
A bullet shot at her, the woman lifting her arm to block, a voice saying "GET OFF OF HIM!"
Lady Mania swung over, drop kicking Anansi away from Furor.
"Hey Mania, didn't think you'd ever show up-"
"Shut it, Pigeon! You're still in the doghouse, I'm just keeping you alive!" Lady Mania snarled in response.
"Fair enough."
When the two looked over, they saw that Anansi was already gone.
".... Well, along came a spider."
"I'm going to shoot you."
