“Make this make sense Sergeant.”
Two uniformed officers make their way down a busy police station hallway one a uniformed officer and the other a higher up in a plain clothes suit.
“W-well Chief its uhh well the report says….all we got is 5 perps all apprehended outside a club along with the attempted victim…”
“I read that part and since you seem to be a bit confused as to the part that is beyond belief….WHO apprehended them?”
The Sergeant sighs as he opens a manila folder up.
“Says here they described someone around 5’4 maybe 150 or 160 umm using a mix of martial arts and improvised things fr-“
“And?! So ONE pint sized one man army took out six guys?! Is that what you’re telling me Sergeant?”
The silence hangs between them as they make their way into a office. The senior of the two takes a seat at the desk snatching the file from the officer and opening it up. The uniformed officer stands awkwardly before he looks back up.
“Well why don’t you get down to interrogations and figure out what really happened!? We are looking for at least two guys playing super hero!”
Across the city, in the seclusion of her modest apartment, Khloe sat in silence, her eyes fixed on the cracked paint of the wall. Her hands trembled, the remnants of adrenaline still coursing through her veins. She replayed the scene outside the club, the moment she intervened to protect another, someone far more vulnerable.
“I had to,” she whispered to herself, her voice barely audible. “But how did I… how did I do all that?”
The memory of the scuffle haunted her—the rush of combat, the flurry of movements. She had acted instinctively, shielding the weaker individual from harm. Yet, the enormity of what she had achieved left her shaken and disoriented.
“They can’t think it was just one person,” she muttered, her thoughts a chaotic whirlwind. “It felt like… like something else took over.”
(Start memory)
The darkened alleyway offered little solace to the chaos that had erupted. Khloe found herself cornered, a sense of urgency flooding her veins as she assessed the situation. Instinct kicked in, drawing from years of grappling and combat training in the wrestling ring.
With a swift pivot, she dodged a punch aimed at her, stepping aside to gain momentum. Gripping a discarded pipe nearby, her mind flashed through various wrestling moves she’d perfected. She lunged forward, using her opponent’s momentum against them, tripping them with a swift leg sweep.
As two more assailants closed in, Khloe maneuvered expertly, employing a combination of locks and throws honed from her professional wrestling repertoire. A metal trash can lid became her shield, deflecting a flurry of incoming strikes, as she countered with precise, calculated moves, stunning her attackers.
Amidst the chaos, Khloe’s agility shone. She spun, utilizing the environment to her advantage. A wooden crate became a makeshift prop, aiding her in disarming another assailant. Her movements were swift, almost dance-like, a symphony of combat techniques and improvised weaponry.
The scuffle continued, the alley resonating with grunts and thuds as Khloe held her ground, fighting with a tenacity fueled by her determination to protect the vulnerable individual. Each strike, each throw, was a testament to her prowess as a wrestler, adapted to the unforgiving reality of the alleyway.
In a matter of minutes that felt like an eternity, the assailants lay subdued, their aggression quelled by Khloe’s strategic prowess and swift, calculated maneuvers. Breathing heavily, she surveyed the aftermath, the alley now silent save for her own panting breaths.
The adrenaline began to subside, leaving Khloe standing amidst the remnants of her impromptu battleground, her mind reeling with the realization of what she had just accomplished through her skill and quick thinking.

As she pondered the night prior she turned her phone around in her hand over and over thinking of who she could talk to.
Evelyn? No no she is at a conference this week…
Eavan? She has her own stuff going on…
Mom and Dad? If i need a lawyer here soon….
Khloe glanced at her phone, her thumb hovering over the screen. With a flicker of uncertainty, she tapped on the browser icon, her mind made up in a moment of desperation.
“I need answers,” she muttered, her fingers flying across the keyboard. Her search queries darted from self-defense techniques to vigilante stories, her curiosity piqued by tales of anonymous heroes who protected their communities.
Minutes turned into hours as she delved deeper into forums and obscure corners of the internet, absorbing anecdotes and theories about masked defenders and mysterious individuals taking justice into their own hands. The screen emitted a bluish glow, casting shifting shadows on her determined expression.
“I’m not alone,” she murmured, her eyes widening with realization. Stories of ordinary people rising to extraordinary feats echoed across the digital realm. The lines between reality and fiction blurred as she stumbled upon accounts of individuals with unexplainable talents, tales of those who defied the odds and emerged as guardians in the face of danger.
Khloe’s heart raced as she scrolled through narratives of enigmatic figures, each account adding a layer of validation to her own inexplicable actions. She read about diverse backgrounds and motivations, each story a piece of a puzzle she yearned to solve. These tales resonated with her in ways she hadn’t expected, igniting a newfound sense of purpose within her.
As Khloe delved into the labyrinth of online stories, a particular thread caught her eye. It detailed the exploits of a local legend, a vigilante known for their daring deeds years ago, yet mysteriously inactive of late. The stories were filled with reverence and speculation, painting a picture of a shadowy figure who had once protected the city.
Fueled by curiosity and a hint of determination, Khloe dug deeper, piecing together fragmented anecdotes and overlooked reports. Clues began to align, leading her on a digital trail that eventually pointed to a potential location—the abandoned warehouse district on the outskirts of town.
The abandoned warehouses loomed ominously in the night, their shadows dancing in the dim moonlight. As she cautiously navigated through the labyrinthine structures, her senses heightened, alert to any sign of the enigmatic figure she sought.
Amidst the eerie silence, a flicker of movement caught Khloe's attention. Her heart skipped a beat as she approached an inconspicuous building, its exterior blending seamlessly with the desolate surroundings. A sense of trepidation mingled with anticipation surged through her veins as she hesitantly pushed open the creaking door.
The interior revealed a secret lair cloaked in shadows—a sanctuary that seemed frozen in time. Khloe's breath hitched as her eyes adjusted to the darkness, revealing a scene that both intrigued and unnerved her.
In the center of the room lay the vigilante, motionless, surrounded by remnants of their past endeavors. An air of solemnity hung over the space, a silent testament to a once-vibrant crusade now stilled. As she approached, a letter caught her eye, carefully placed beside the vigilante's still form.
With trembling hands, Khloe reached for the letter, its weight heavier than the paper it was written on.
Dear Citizen,
If you're reading this, then fate has led you to this solemn place—a sanctuary that was once the refuge for a cause I held dear. As my journey ends here, I implore you to consider this heartfelt plea, a plea born of conviction and a belief in the power of ordinary individuals to make an extraordinary difference.
My crusade, once ignited by an unwavering belief in justice and the defense of the vulnerable, has waned. The trials faced, the battles fought, have tested my faith in the pursuit of righteousness. Yet, in this moment of finality, I find solace in the hope that my efforts were not in vain, that someone else, someone worthy, will heed this call.
The world is a tapestry woven with threads of light and shadow. In the depths of darkness, a beacon of hope must arise—a guiding light to illuminate the path for those lost in the abyss. I pass on the mantle to you, not out of desperation, but out of belief. Belief that in your heart resides the courage, the compassion, and the unwavering spirit needed to defend the weak and spread positivity amidst adversity.
I may not know you, but I have faith in your potential—the potential to transcend the boundaries of the ordinary, to rise in the face of adversity, and to become the guardian this city needs. Embrace this responsibility not as a burden, but as a testament to the strength within you—a strength capable of instigating change, no matter how daunting the odds.
Remember, you are not alone. Seek allies in unexpected places, draw strength from the stories of those who have dared to defy the status quo. Forge your path, uphold the virtues of justice and kindness, and let your actions resonate louder than words.
With this letter, I pass on the remnants of my vigil—a symbol of hope and resilience. May it serve as a reminder of the commitment to protect, to inspire, and to be the unwavering light in a world that sometimes embraces shadows.
The world awaits its next guardian. Will you answer the call?
With unwavering hope and a heart filled with gratitude,
[Unsigned]
The weight of the responsibility settled upon Khloe's shoulders as she read the heartfelt plea penned by the fallen vigilante. Emotions churned within her—a mix of awe, confusion, and a newfound determination. The letter resonated with a truth she couldn't ignore, stirring a flicker of purpose within her soul.
A surge of resolve replaced her uncertainty. Khloe's gaze hardened, her jaw set in determination. She couldn't turn away now. With a silent promise to honor the fallen hero's legacy, she pocketed the letter, vowing to continue the crusade against injustice and adversity.
With a mix of trepidation and determination, Khloe meticulously searched the vigilante’s sanctuary, her eyes scanning for something that could serve as a tangible connection to the fallen hero. Amidst the assortment of gadgets and remnants of past battles, a peculiar emblem caught her attention—a stylized phoenix rising from ashes, etched into a metallic plate.
The emblem, imbued with intricate details and a sense of unwavering resilience, seemed to radiate a silent strength. Khloe’s heart skipped a beat as she picked it up, feeling the weight of its significance. It was more than just a symbol; it represented hope and the unyielding spirit of overcoming challenges.
“This is it,” she murmured, her fingers tracing the contours of the emblem. A surge of determination coursed through her, intertwining with a sense of reverence for the fallen hero.
As she stepped out into the night, the weight of the vigilante's legacy mingled with the newfound purpose burning within her. The city's shadows seemed less foreboding now, infused with a glimmer of hope sparked by the vigilante's final plea. She wasn’t what this pull at her soul was but she silently vowed to figure it out.

The scene opens with a panoramic view of the cityscape at dusk—a mesmerizing blend of twinkling lights and fading daylight. Against this backdrop stands Khloe, silhouetted against the skyline atop a secluded rooftop. The camera focuses on her, the setting sun casting an ethereal glow around her figure.
As the shot zooms in, Khloe's determined expression comes into focus, her eyes reflecting a blend of empathy and unwavering resolve. She begins to speak, her voice steady yet filled with emotion, resonating against the urban backdrop.
"Synn," her voice carries a weight of solemn determination, "tonight, I'm not just stepping into the ring with you. I'm here to remind us both that strength doesn't come from surrendering to the darkness—it comes from rising above it."
The camera captures the breathtaking skyline behind her, framing her words with a silent resonance as she reflects on their shared journey.
"We've both wrestled with the shadows within us. I've felt their weight, Synn. It's a constant battle, an inner turmoil. But it's in our choice to rise above that defines us. I have heard of your plight for those who cant defend themselves and find it commendable.
The camera captures the skyline beginning to shimmer with the onset of evening lights, mirroring the intensity in Khloe's words.
"Synn, within you lies a spark waiting to be reignited. I'm not just here to face you in combat. I'm here to remind you that amidst the chaos, there's strength within us—to rise above, to transcend the turmoil within."
As her impassioned plea lingers in the evening air, the camera pans to capture the breathtaking scenery, emphasizing the gravity of her message against the backdrop of the sprawling city.
“In another light I’m sure we could be friends…allies even in the fight against then unjust. But this time we are set against each other and I don’t care if you’re a former champion or not….I plan to rise like the phoenix up the ranks of TPW so get ready….your going to need every trick in your book to beat me!”
The scene fades to black, leaving behind the echo of her powerful words against the city's evening symphony.
Two uniformed officers make their way down a busy police station hallway one a uniformed officer and the other a higher up in a plain clothes suit.
