"You're that bitch that's been wiping us out, aren't you?"

A mysterious voice questioned, followed by others who seemed partners with each others. They were standing above buildings, looking down and surrounding this one person. There were a total of three of them, and all did their best to hide their identities

"Don't expect to walk out of here alive"

You couldn't see anything distinctive about her, except for the lavender ponytail hanging on the back of her cap, and her emerald eyes. Her stare looked unharmful and kind, yet were able to send chills down their spine

She was surrounded by every direction, but the ones that were nervous was the those four

"You're EMBER, correct?" The lone woman asked. Her tone almost sounded like it was the last threat she was going to say. But they didn't answer. Instead, they made their first move

One of them raised their hand, aiming it at her. Nothing came out of it, but somehow she felt a little slower. Did she decelerate me? No, more like...

Suddenly, many spears surrounded her body from above, and fell at full speed, just near enough that it almost scratched all over her. But it was enough to restrict her movement. It acted sort of like a cage. That kind of startled me. Is this some sort of formation they have?

The last one lunged from above, activating her powers on the way down. His hands turned into malicious claws. He cut her neck cleanly, too fast that no stains of blood dirtied his hands — or at least thats what should've happened 

The man turned his head, yet the woman was seemed she was still untouched "W-what...!?"

"Hm? Surely you didn't miss?" Leilah asked, trying to provoke him without doing anything except standing. Even under the mask, they just know that Leilah was smiling "Cmon, try again!"

"Y-you bitch!" And he did just that. He took his time, and aimed his claws straight to one of her eye. Nothing happened "H-how in the..." He could literally see his hand go through her eye, yet she can still talk normally

"You're not drunk, are you?"

"Shut up!" The man turned his sight to his partners and called them. "Katya, what are you doing!? Kill her!"

Katya unleashed countless spears above Leilah, and directed them all towards her with full strike. The sound of it alone was enough to echo through the city. The spears were so strong that it was able to pierce halfway to the ground

After Katya wasn't able to see the woman, she stopped. "Did... did I get her?" She asked herself. Unsure of it, Silence struck, and they just stood still — expecting some sort of movements from Leilah, but nothing happened "Maybe that was overkill—"
