THE WASP!

End of Post Location: The Sky Manhattan, Times Square. Interacting with: She-Hulk! @Kyoka and Hawk-Guy! @Hound55 And Spider-Man and anyone who can see her? Sorry if I miss something I really need to catch up lol so I'm just gonna write something, anything at all

---

"Thanks a zillion million billion, She-Hulk." The Wasp said, accepting the Avengers communicator with a bow. Quickly she linked it up to her headset and attached it to her belt. She thought she recognized the voice over the radio, but it sounded a little old to be Spider-Man. Still, the plan was sound as a bell, and was exactly what Janet Van Dyne had in mind.

"This is The Wasp, speaking on She-Hulk's communicator!" She said. "I'm buzzin' on up to the portal over Times Square. I'll get the data on that portal with my Quantum Gizmo™!" She reported in. "Just cover each other! But especially me."

The Wasp gasped and pretended to bite her finger as little Reptar was snatched from her hands by the impeccable aim of Hawk-Eye. "Gee, thanks! Don't use him for target practice while I'm gone. That's the most endangered animal on the planet!" She gave him a thumbs up. "You've also got about twenty four hours until the Mega Molecules wear off and Reptar gets big again so, watch out!"

With a half-cocked salute, she bent her knees and jumped, wings fluttering. At high speeds she zipped zigged and zagged, making her an incredibly difficult target to hit. Only sheer volume of fire could knock her out of the air, and fortunately her allies were keeping the Dominators plenty distracted. "Closing the portal is priority Numero Uno." Janet murmered to herself. Boy, her heart was racing! Despite all the veritable carnage happening around her, Janet Van Dyne was nothing if not a thrill seeker. In her opinion, heroing was a lot more fun if you embraced the risks.

A Dominator space ship came her way, an ugly little thing with a big window and ugly little monsters on the inside. Clunky armor and big heads with big red targets on their forehead. "Wanna piece of me, do ya? Okay! But don't complain to me if your portion sizes are too small!" With that, she shrunk down to the size of a wasp and zipped toward them. She zipped down the barrel of one of their mounted cannons, disabling it with a micro burst from her fingers. The gunner looked confused for a moment. From one of the panels on the side shot out the glowing yellow heroine who delivered a swift tiny kick to the gunners head, knocking him unconscious. Not that the Wasp was planning on going easy on these suckers or taking them alive. Genocidal maniacs weren't going to weasel out of a good killin' just because they were sentient.

One of the other dominator gunners reached for his gun, but it was zapped out of his hands and skittered across the floor. He looked up at her for a second. "Nope, you're dead!" The Wasp declared, firing a yellow laser right into the monsters eye and frying their brain. Then she flew right into the cockpit and the confused pilot had a moment to react before he too was stung by the Wasps Stinger and he slumped over on his controls, unconscious. Growing temporarily to her normal stature, The Wasp placed a shrinker on him and turned him to the size of a raisin. She plucked him up and stuffed him into one of her wrist pockets. "Never know when a goon might come in handy." She said.

With that, she placed another shrinking device on the center console and flew out of the exposed panel she came in. "Yeesh, these alien invasions always burn a hole in the tax payers pocket." The Wasp said. She shrunk the enemy space ship down to the size of a desk. It spiralled out of control and slammed into a building, where it shattered off the wall and fell into an alley in flaming pieces. "I'm sure they don't mind though, heheh."

Back to full size to get her max speed up, she zoomed up towards the portal. The readings of her Gizmo were off the charts! Well, that's not true, they were very much on the charts. Anyone who said anything was off the charts clearly just hadn't made enough charts.

Regardless, she unholstered the silvery device and angled it at the portal. It was daunting to be so close to a gap in reality. She could see stars and the black void of space. Energy shimmered infront of her eyes. There was even a significant amount of wind pressure as the air of the Earth itself was ripped through and into the void of space. Fortunately her wings were strong enough to push against it. Janet wasn't exactly eager to end up on the wrong side of a portal again.

She tapped a button and her device lit up, a grid-formation of light beginning to work its way across the portal. "Beep bop boop, science science science, go go go!" She said. Hopefully no other dominators showed up to ruin her day.

Sakura grimaced as Rika almost got bisected. Fortunately, her allies, including Bella, intercepted it. "Be careful, Rika-chan!" She called out, shooting another fireball at the Orphan. She just wasn't sure how to push in. They were all too disorganized! They needed a concentrated strike, but big baby had them all on the back foot. It's power was immense.

But she couldn't think about that now. She realised that Bella was about to get blown sky high by this creature's glowing blood attack. "Bella-san!" Sakura shouted, announcing her intention. She sprinted across the battlefield as high speed, kicking up sand and dust behind her. As the creature brought its viscera attack down, Sakura slid right between its legs. She popped up right infront of Bella and bumped her back into Bella's front, sending the Abyssal backwards. Sakura stomped the ground and a red miamsa burst off her. Sakura used Red Focus, a powerful defensive move that turned her into an attack absorbing machine. "SEI!" The viscera attack would burst against her, parting in a narrow formation around her as Sakura defended both herself and Bella from the attack. It used up a huge amount of defensive Ki to do, and if Sakura got hit before she got it all back, it would be a hard hit.

After blocking the massive hit, Sakura jumped forward instead of backwards to make her retreat. With a quick hop as the monster recovered from its attack, she turned and planted her feet on its chest and pushed herself away with a push kick. She rolled along the sand and retreated, guiding Bella away from the Orphan.

"That was kinda cool, huh?" Sakura said breathlessly. "Get that gauntlet fixed, okay, Bella-san? And don't get squished." With that, she turned and rushed back into battle. She grimaced as the frozen Hat Kid got smacked away, but fortunately the kid was a whiz at magic and managed to defend herself with powerful ice. "Watch out!"

Sakura didn't push in on the Orphan. Instead she stayed a little outside it's swinging radius, guard up, plugging fireballs into it when she got the chance. No big offensive pushes, but just offering another target for it to swing at. Ready to dodge, hop, or roll out of the way of any of its attacks. And keep watching it to see how it fights. That viscera attack was already familiar to the Seekers, maybe the melee attacks could be, too. Even wild fighters had patterns. Even random chance could be exploited, for not every option had equal risk and reward.

"We have to find a moment to strike!" Sakura said. If she had to block some glancing impacts as she dodged away, she'd be okay, but it would stop her "Grey Health" from restoring and reset the timer on that. Because of this Sakura was especially wary of defending herself. But she couldn't just sit back and let the thing run rampant. Hopefully her fireballs and presence would put pressure on it and divide its attention.

The decision was made for her, which was something of a relief. At least when he...it? Started attacking them, it became a matter of survival. Which, of course, it already was. But stabbing something, anything, in the back, never sat right with her. Either way this poor little thing had to die. Goosebumps ran up and down her arm.

"No, this is it! Get ready!" She shouted trying to keep her voice the shrieking. Mainly to psyche herself up. She'd just have to get used to fighting in situations she was uncomfortable with, it seemed.

"Don't let it focus one of us down!" Briefly dropping into a runners pose she shot off her ankles down the beach, taking long strides to meet the Orphan of Kos in combat as soon as possible. To put as much distance between it and the support members of the party as possible. Link, Nadia, and Bowser of course were in the fray before her, but a second wave was always good.

Needless to say, the thing was a man possessed with fury. Unlike Link, Sakura couldn't make out anything but aggression and coincidental advantageous positioning. Being a relatively short ranged melee fighter, Sakura hopped away from its circular swinging slash, the weapon swishing under her feet. Instinctively, Sakura opened up her palm and fired a blue one handed fireball in its direction. It burst against its body but the creature didn't even flinch. Still, the hit drew a little blood, so it was something. Sakura was just happy she got that technique again.

"Bella-san." Sakura said involuntarily, spotting her friends gauntlet be shattered. Even Link's shield couldn't hold up to the barrage. Even with her ki being able to withstand mighty attacks, Sakura doubted her bare forearms could withstand more than one slash before she was guard broken.

Speaking of technique, Nadia's powerful slash also didn't make the thing flinch. It was like beating up Zangief on one of his best days- nothing fazed the Orphan. "He's got superarmor!" Sakura shouted. While she'd love to get in and start grabbing its jointings and pulling at limbs, the thing was inexorable.

Still. A well placed grab could unfoot even the hardiest of Street Fighters. (Though unfortunately, said hardiest street fighters also had the best grabs.) Sakura would have to apply her knowledge and techniques. She did have her own air-to-ground throw technique after all. If she could land on the Orphan's shoulders feet first, she could probably interrupt the big guys attack and send him backwards. He was so skinny with a big head, and that large weapon, he was probably top heavy, right?

The boss stuck its weapon into the ground and fired off a huge red blast that Sakura blocked. It sent her sliding backwards. While it had its weapon into the ground, she figured now would be a good time to jump in.

"Here I go!" Propelling herself off the sand, Sakura's limbs pinwheeled elegantly as she came in for her jumping throw. Instead, the weapon erupted from the earth. So much so that it buried into the beach over its shoulder and behind it. With tremendous force it collided into her lower body. There was a sound like shattering glass, and Sakura exploded with electric light.

The air was knocked out of her lungs and she failed to suck it back in with an audible, strained, high pitched gasp. "Gah- haaa~!" Head over heel she was hurled into the sky. Grimacing, she flailed her limps and had enough time to re-oriented herself in the air. Air rushed pashed her ears, hair and clothes. First everything was pushed down, then everything was pushed up. It wasn't the heaviest hit she'd ever taken (that honor went to Karin) but still, ow. It certainly gave her some air time.

Sakura landed feet first on the ground and rolled with the impact, kicking up dead sand behind her. One one knee, she shook her head back and forth and composed herself. "That won't work." She admitted aloud, clearly impressed by the power of the Orphan of Kos.

Getting in wouldn't be that easy. She'd have to find a weakness in its movement patterns if she wanted to try that again. Sakura pushed forward, guard up, and tried to hover outside its effective range. Hesitant to plunge back into the fray immediately she gathered blue energy in between her hands for a second. "Hadoken!" She unleashed a fully charged fireball at the Orphan's back while it was attacking somebody else.

At first, Sakura felt bad. She didn't expect such a withering response. After all, the other two Abyssals she had met weren't so bitter about their lives. But New Southern was distressed. More than Sakura could have imagined. But it was one thing to feel down on yourself- when New Southern turned her bitterness onto Rika and Bella, it got Sakura's blood boiling. It was like she was trying to infect Rika with the same mentality. It reeked of an uppity kind of condescension, of the worst kind. As if New Southern knew so much better than Rika and Bella that those two might as well just roll over and die, like her. What an awful thing to say and do to someone.

Before Sakura realised it, her teeth were grit and her shoulder was winding backwards. She was a moment away from giving New Southern a punch in the mouth to shut her up. Only a hand on her shoulder from Link stopped her. Sakura looked back at the hero and reddened, embarassed. Clearly New Southern was understandably depressed. And maybe part of it was Sakura feeling bad, too. That Friend Hearting wasn't working anymore. That she couldn't just make people happy. Having thought a lot about the meaning, or lack thereof, of life, she knew the sadness New Southern was feeling was something that couldn't be so easily remedied. She just figured New Southern might need a pick-me-up, but this was a hole that only New Southern could pick herself out of.

Sakura took a step back and huffed. She ran a hand through her black hair, her cat ears low. "Don't listen to her, Rika-chan. She feels awful so she's being awful." Protectively she went to guide Rika away from the Princess as if the words themselves were a poisonous hazard.

"You're my friend. And that's real, okay? That's all there is to it."

---

Once Sakura re-united with the rest of the group, they travelled inward. Things quickly began to get stranger and stranger. Serenely beautiful, but unsettling. For the first time, the street fighter felt like she was intruding on something. An ancient and mysterious...culture. All the viscious creatures were dormant and in prayer. Chills ran down the back of her neck, and her tail curled up. She too glanced at Bella and Rika, wondering what their thoughts were on all this. Their entire journey had been leading up to this moment. Like they were a knife plunging straight into the heart of evil. Why weren't they trying to stop the Seekers? To Sakura it felt like she was too late. Much too late. For what, or to stop what, she didn't know.

Soon, they reached another jaw dropping sight. An underwater beach. Some crazy alternate dimension stuff was happening, and it boggled her mind. If she thought about it too much, she would spin in circles. Best not question it and focus on what was important.

And what was important was, among all the death and decay, was a creature giving birth. Now, Sakura had never seen a woman give birth before, but she was pretty certain it wasn't supposed to look like this. Out of one alien monstrosity emerged another. The pink object it held in its hands made Sakura green around the gills, like she might throw up again. This...thing. Whatever it was. It seemed so sad. Was this really the creature at the heart of everything?

"It's...just a baby." She said as she heard it cry. A tear rolled down her cheek. "Is this really what we came all this way to kill?" Somehow she knew that this orphaned child was the boss spirit that Galeem had chosen. No doubt that despite it just being born infront of her eyes, it was a powerful creature. Perhaps it would only become even more powerful. Perhaps if left to grow, it would consume the world. Or maybe it's fate was just to sit at this beach and weep for all it had never gained. She didn't know. It was all just too sad to bear. So many variables. She didn't know what was Galeem's making, and what was always meant to be. She dropped her eyes to the grey sand beneath her and held her elbow with her other hand. Her tail and ears drooped.

Indecisive, she just stood there. She didn't have it in her to make the first move. And the orphan was too scary to approach on her own. But it didn't feel right for her to attack it while it wasn't looking. So shamefully, Sakura waited for one of her companions to make that decision for her.

The battle was over, and the Seekers had emerged victorious! Sakura had been stressed out as the timer ticked town, nervously tapping her fingers together. Sweat dripped down her forehead as the fates of her friends became increasingly unclear. At that final moment, she looked plain sick. But when it came to light that not only were they victorious, Sakura switched gears and jumped for joy, clenching her fists together by her chin.

"We did it...I knew we could do it!" Sakura pumped her arms. "And you were all like," Sakura went over to Bella. "Oh, mon cherie, we are doomed! Oh, no, mon cherie!" Sakura held the back of her hand up to her head dramatically, like she was about to feint. Her impression of Bella was also pretty good, even if it was played up. "But instead you kicked, uh, total ass, I believe is the scientific term." She nudged Bella in the shoulder.

"And you guys-" Sakura opened her arms wide to the rest. "Nailed it! Flawless victory!" Sakura struck a fighting pose. "You even defeated someone with mind control powers? In short, we rule, Master Hand drools."

"I mean, I guess Mirage-san is a casualty, but he's probably drawing up a hot bath for himself as we speak. If anything, I'm a little jealous..." Sakura said, trailing off. "I mean, my outfit is totally ruined, but, I plain on getting my old clothes back the moment I give Araisho-san's spirit back to where it belongs." She said resolutely, mixing her simple priorities with a somber note. Sakura listened to what Bowser and the others had to say about some stuff. About the Master Hand. Weird. Didn't sound like anyone stood a chance against Galeem when he first arrived...

"Speaking of spirits...geez. I mean, I don't want to be rude or anything..." Sakura looked at Kamek and Blazermate. Grimacing, the gears turned in her head. "...So, I won't!" She said chipperly. "Hope those powers come in handy. Everyone'll be freer and happier once we wipe the floor with this boss. That was just a warm up." She punched her knuckles together. "But I feel good about our chances. We're almost done. And once we get back to Limsa, I know a lady who probably has her own private section of the beach. At the very least, she can get us some fresh pastries to eat." Sakura said. She turned to see what her new friend thought of that, only to realise she wasn't here. Rika went off to look for her, and Sakura trailed behind.

Turned out, New Southern wasn't in a very good mood. "Yeah, don't kill yourself!" Sakura said in an unintentionally bright voice. "There's so much to do and see! You should at least give it a shot. You Abyssals really got the short stick when it came to your lot in life, so if there's one good thing to come out of this Galeem situation it's giving people like you a chance. And you can pick out a name! You look like a...Wendy. Or a Dorothy. And your crab pet could be Toto." She snickered, making a joke. A joke that nobody else in this little group understood. Sakura's smile turned into a good natured wince. "...or not. No pressure."
