Noire, having completed her mission, was returning to her base when a peculiar sensation washed over her. She halted mid-air, her senses on high alert. Something was amiss.
A cold shiver ran down her spine as she scanned the surrounding area. Her gaze settled on a dense forest, an anomaly in the otherwise flat terrain. Something about it felt off, a discordant note in the harmonious symphony of nature.
With a silent determination, Noire descended towards the forest. As she approached, the trees seemed to close in around her, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere. A sinister energy pulsed from within the dense foliage, a dark heart beating in the green lung of the world.
A chilling laughter echoed through the trees, breaking the eerie silence. A man dressed in a white lab coat stepped out from the shadows. His appearance was unsettling, his eyes gleaming with an unnatural light. A cruel smile twisted his lips, revealing a set of sharpened teeth.
"Number Ten," he introduced himself, his voice dripping with sinister charm.
Noire, unfazed by his appearance, chuckled.
"I knew someone was following me," she replied, her voice carrying a hint of amusement.
"But you're alone?"
The man, Number Ten, laughed again, a high-pitched, almost hysterical sound.
"Oh, you're mistaken," he said, his voice dropping an octave.
"I never work alone."
From the depths of the forest, another figure emerged. A woman, her face hidden in shadow, moved with a predatory grace. Her eyes, cold and calculating, held a promise of violence.
"No name," she introduced herself, her voice a whisper carried by the wind.
Noire stood her ground, her form a dark silhouette against the encroaching darkness.
''Good!'' she disappeared and reappeared before them and attacked them with her fist.
Bang! Boom!
They were sent flying and crashed against a giant tree.
The two stepped out from the shattered tree. Both of them had surprised expressions on their faces.
"Even if we were caught off guard... to think we'd get blown away like this."
''I'm surprised as well; she doesn't look that great and powerful.''
''By the way, this is starting to piss me off."
"Number 10, I didn't think we'd be on the same page."
The two of them narrowed their eyes sharply. It seemed like they were about to pounce on Noire at any moment.
"Wait."
"Hold on a moment."
Suddenly, they glared at each other.
"I'll take care of that asshole first, so wait your turn."
"Where does a kid like you get off giving orders? You back off."
Instead of focusing on her, Number 10 and No Name growled at each other.
