{Just outside the 47 acre park with the entire perimeter lined with pine trees.}

With a single SunSword wielded, one in her advanced sheath, and her trusty katana staying sheathed on her back, Shelly runs through the parking lot just outside the huge public park.

She is cutting down Iceman after Iceman that attack her or are in her way, with the help of Madame Fryer.

With a short bloodied path to the park entrance clear of threats, Shelly takes a moment to talk to her ally weapon.

Shelly: "Thank you Madame Fryer, since my katana is useless against Icemen, I’ll need you to help me out a li-mmffm??"

Before she can finish her sentence, Madame Fryer relaxes her flames a bit and slowly floats sideways in front of Shelly’s face. The legendary sword carefully places her hard golden handle into the skilled sword fighter’s unclenched teeth.

The usual wild flames that come from the blade of the sentient sword are more calm, and the flames naturally do not burn her ally’s face or hair.

Even with a tooth gripped golden handle, Shelly smiles, knowing how much it means to Madame Fryer to help the granddaughter of her dearest friend.

The blonde Ace runs through the entrance.

More shouting and panic can be heard coming from inside the tree blocked area.

To her horror, the once beautiful and calming park has been painted red with blood and the scene of brutally beaten humans, all ages, are spread over the open area.

The responsive female warrior gets surprised by 4 Icemen in the midst of beating someone to death, a few yards to the right if the entrance.

One of the ice aliens stomps down, blood flowing from beneath it’s "foot". The group of Icemen look at their next target, and start dashing for Shelly.

The targeted young woman stands her ground and gets in a fighting stance.

As the Icemen leap to pounce on the beautiful young blonde surrounded by her SoulSeiõrShield, they all land on her afterimage and a spinning top of orange, slices through each of their heads.

Red clouds escape from the unconnected necks of the severed alien heads and begin to float up high.

Shelly closely watches the uncatchable clouds but her expression turns into curiosity.

The small blood red clouds of the Icemen she killed, along with the dark aura clouds from all of the city’s victims, begin to float towards the sky, towards the moon...

However...

All the aura clouds from both the killed humans and Icemen suddenly redirect their route in the same direction.

To the South End of Roronora...

As soon as Shelly processes the peculiar sight, Madame Fryer floats out of the grip in her owner’s teeth and into her golden sheath right before Shelly hops onto the roof of the park’s short ceiling bathroom.

The brave warrior is not worried about the unoccupied aliens who had seen her and have begun to converge around the tiny restroom building, trying to reach up and grab her. The large group of chaotic, ice monsters covered in fresh blood begins to aggressively climb on top of each other, progressively getting closer to their prey above.

Shelly: "As far as I knew, the red clouds from killed Icemen only float up, but where are all these aura clouds heading to?"

She ponders for a moment then seems to think of an idea.

Shelly: "Wait, could it be...?"

A woman’s loud grunting catches the attention of both Shelly and the Icemen around the public bathroom, as they all turn their heads.

About 50 yards away, Shelly’s azule eyes sees a female Roronora City officer. Her shoulder length orange hair flows while charging through Icemen.

Her right Eyelien popped off to 2nd Stage with a bright purple aura trailing from the symbiote and she has both of her hot SunSwords out.

The stranger impressively cuts down a group of unaware enemies from the back, clearing herself a path, their red clouds float up.

Red and Pink Haired Officer: "Rrraaaahhhhh!"

The officer makes her way towards a few more aliens that have just finished mauling another victim together.

The bloody Icemen seemed to also heard her war cry while defeating the previous group.

To Shelly’s surprise, the gore covered ice invaders don’t even react to the threat as the angry fighter runs towards them, and slices them all down. In fact, the Icemen all look confused after each one of their allies gets killed.

With no Icemen left in her way and her symbiote eye still at 2nd Stage, releasing her worried purple aura, the skilled woman runs towards an already broken into/busted up building. The painted sign above the entrance reads ’Roronora Park Concession and Lunch & Bar’.

Shelly looks down on all the enemies below her, then back at the building.

Shelly: "Those Icemen definitely looked in her direction, and didn’t even retaliate as she killed them all one by one. I wonder what eye ability she’s using..."

The Icemen surrounding Shelly no longer acknowledge the shouts from the orange haired human, bringing their IceEyes back to their original target up above.

As the torso of the first Iceman finally gets to the top of the park restroom, it sees Shelly’s back. Sheathed katana and all.

The pursuing alien gets completely on the roof and charges for her open back, covered in golden hair. The swipe with 5 knife-like fingers comes down and goes through yet another afterimage of the blonde beauty.

None of the dumb Icemen around the bathroom saw, as Shelly took off, utilizing the 700mph+ speed her Mach 1 SoulSeiõrShield can reach.

With the sounds of chaos and electrical explosions now in full swing throughout Roronora City, a pair of black sneakers, covered in the sparkling golden pink aura, lands at the bottom step to the building the woman officer ran into.

There’s a slight tremble that Shelly’s natural instincts can feel, and a bead of sweat rolls down her temple. She closes her eyes for a moment and Madame Fryer unsheathes herself, easily taking care of a couple Icemen.

Shelly(meditating): *If there is more than just one of those giants like Dominic and Laban said there would be, it’s pretty much useless using my past experiences, to try and estimate their approximate distance from me.*

Opening her azule blue eyes, she starts up the steps and her trusty floating sword close behind.

As they get to the top step, there are more bodies beaten to pulp. Fresh blood is splattered all over the wooden dinery deck, with turned over tables and chairs, also covered in blood.

Keeping her head on a swivel, while also staying light on her feet, Shelly closely examines one of the nauseating flattened piles of gore.

Shelly: "I’ve been seeing these piles of mush everywhere. From what we learned at the academy, Icemen hunt and share their food in packs. But from the looks of it, these monsters are just violently killing humans. Not even trying to eat."

A wailing woman can be heard inside the snack shop. While sprinting towards the door, Shelly swaps her equipped dimming SunSword with the charged bright hot SunSword she had taken from the slain male officer.

The Izanagi Vice Captain slowly opens the door and immediately hears a girl sobbing.

Sobbing Girl: "Noohooohoooooo! I’m so sorry Kaylee! I was too laaaate!"

Shelly carefully enters while she swiftly tip toes through the bloody hallway.

There are beheaded Icemen, more fully mutilated human bodies, flipped tables, chairs, and food all over the place.

Shelly: "Hello?..."

There is no response. One of her black sneakers steps into a small puddle of blood, creating bloody half footprints on the hardwood floor.

The crying woman is still heard grieving somewhere within the overturned building. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Sobbing Girl: "Kayleeheeeheeeee! Whyyyyyy!?! Ahhhhhhh!"

Shelly knows she’s getting closer, passing by a few beheaded Icemen on top of their half decimated human victims.

As she makes her way towards the bar and grill restaurant, Takamagahara’s Ace examines the double doors leading to the main kitchen.

It’s clear the source of distress is on the other side, the girl’s weeping has calmed down.

Shelly: "Hey, are you okay in there?!"

Definitely aware of someone else’s presence, the crying stops and there is still no response to the call out.

Confused but also concerned, with a hot SunSword in hand, covered in her passed down SoulSeiõrShield, Shelly carefully approaches the kitchen entrance.

Shelly: "Don’t worry, I’m here to help you! Come on out and we can get to safety together!"

Her beautiful hand, with teal painted nails, barely presses one of the saloon style double doors, not opening it.

...

...

...Shelly’s eyes narrow and within the blink of an eye, she backflips away from the wooden doors right before two cross slashing SunSwords cut through.

With a graceful landing, Shelly slides on a blood puddle but keeps her balance. Her beautiful blue eyes staring directly at the unnecessary danger in front of her.

It’s the same female Roronora officer with orange hair, who Shelly had followed. The woman has tears in her red left eye and her Eyelien is popped off at 2nd Stage with a heavy sad blue aura.

She’s breathing heavily, sniffling, and shaking in uncontrollable anger while grinding her teeth. Blood covering the front of her uniform and a red smudge on her cheek.

An orange piece of torn floral cloth, stained with blood, is tied around the grieving girl’s left bicep.

Her sad blue Eyelien aura changes to a familiar smothering smoke after locking on Shelly.

Shelly: "Wait, hold on just a second! I’m not an enemy, so please calm down!"

Ignoring the call for peace, the stranger lunges forward, and with both of her hot SunSwords equipped she spins like a top at an incredible speed.

Shelly: "Seriously, I don’t have time for this.

Like what the fu-"

Cutting her off is the growling of prowling Icemen right outside the windows of the dining hall.

Shelly skillfully jumps over the spinning threat and lands on one of the only tables left upright.

The female officer stops spinning, and both women keep their backs turned to each other while talking.

Shelly: "I can help you."

Female Officer: "Leave..."

Shelly: "I can tell you have a ton of potential. If you come back to my sanctuary, you’ll be able to get stronger.

Did you lose someone close t-?"

The distraught officer’s smokey aura grows larger as she yells to cut off Shelly’s question.

Female Officer: "GO AWAY!!"

Because of that ’dinner bell’, Icemen arms and claws bust through the glass windows of the building. Their collection of hellish gutteral noises and hissing gets louder the more windows and doors break.

Shelly looks around at her situation in a slight panic, and Madame Fryer flies back out from her golden sheath.

The flaming sword guillotines an Iceman trying to climb through the closest window to her owner, but another climbs over the headless ice corpse to get in next.

After a bit of thinking, Shelly’s azule eyes tear up but she quickly wipes them dry with her sleeve.

Looking around, she sees a staircase leading to a small balcony and a door labeled "Manager’s Office".

The overwhelming stampede of Icemen begins to crawl through the broken windows, and through the doors both girls had come through.

With one last glance, Shelly looks at the turned back of the female officer, unfazed and set on the decision.

Shelly: "This is your last chance! I know ways for you to get stronger, I know a form of ’magic’!

Let me help you appreciate life again!"

Once the first ice alien gets too close to the orange haired officer, she cuts it down.

A second Iceman stumbles passed her and she kicks it towards another, stabbing both in the head with one of her SunSwords then slicing both necks with the other bright hot weapon.

With two severed Icemen heads slowly melting down the blade, the skilled woman swings the ’skewer’ and the heads fling off and knock another intrusive monster down.

The final stand of a veteran warrior using unwavering maneuvers and slashes. Not caring for her own wellbeing, only about going out in a blaze of glory, taking as many of the enemies as possible.

Shelly(thinking): *I might be able to help her!*

But as soon as she takes a step to go help a decent sized rumbling can be felt, and to Shelly’s dismay, the vibrations under her feet don’t vanish, even while standing on a table.

Shelly looks down in shame, before turning her back on the brave woman twisting, jumping, and cutting with everything she has left. With her beautiful SoulSeiõrShield, Shelly leaps to the office balcony.

With clenched fists, Shelly stands there for a moment, overlooking the person fighting for her life.

A tear rolls down Shelly’s cheek and the prideful woman punches herself across the face, hard.

Shelly(thinking): *I have to find Saku!*

After regaining her composure, she spits the little bit of blood in her mouth.

With more of the smaller aliens scrambling up the stairway to her and the quakes of incoming giant Icemen still being felt, ’the symbol of humanity’s sanguinity’ opens the door to her escape, leaving behind the sounds of slicing SunSwords cutting through Icemen and the killed aliens dropping to the hardwood.
