Hero

[attr="class","yuki-text"]It was an eerie evening in the dark allies of Gotanda. Streetlights flickered unsettlingly down the corridor. The road forward was littered with potholes of which were filled with muddy grime. The walls of the alley were stained and reeked strongly of alcohol. [break][break]

A cool breeze washed over Kyoko’s pelt as she and her newly-made acquaintance made their way towards where Kyoko believed their target, Mechanoman, must have been hiding. While it may have been an initial visit for Sun-Hi, Kyoko could recall this place like the back of her hand. Several years ago, when she’d first been converted into her pseudo-Yokai body, Kyoko had actually been kidnapped by practitioners of black magic and brought here to be examined. She could only assume that they wanted to use her magical body as a vessel for some strange spells and works of dark art. [break][break]


Before they got very far, however, she was saved by a local heroine and brought back to her rightful home. [break][break]


It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that experience was the determining factor of Kyoko striving to become an Aegis hero. She desired to save vulnerable citizens like she had once been and would be loath to see a bunch of no-gooders get things their way. [break][break]


Armed with her powers, Kyoko knew that this was her destiny. [break][break]

The tanuki-girl had unconsciously stopped and stared forward blankly at her surroundings for a few moments as she recalled the past. She shook her head and cleared her throat. This was no time to be reminiscing. [break][break]


”There’s a secret hatch forward. We can get in through there,” Kyoko directed, pointing a claw to what would seem to be a manhole cover to the untrained eye. ”The lair-bar is down below. That’s where many Villains and Anti-Heroes like to mingle and discuss their plans. We can go in there without much issue so long as we look the part. Hence, the dress--” [break][break]


Kyoko motioned to the red gown that adorned her body. It was one of her favorites, the sort she’d only save for special occasions. It was a shame it needed to be utilized for such a bothersome task. [break][break]


”But yeah. All we need to do is sneak in, get Mechanoman isolated, round him up, and beat it,” The teen described. But it was almost certain that the task would be much more complex than a quick snatch and grab. They needed to navigate their way around Villains without being picked out. [break][break]


Kyoko crouched down, uncovering the manhole. [break][break]
