Gunfire and angry shouts echoed through the night, marking a trail through the heart of Vale’s city center. The busy streets were filled with people of all ages, looking for entertainment in the vibrant clubs and malls lining the sidewalks. Now, they were all screaming and running frantically to avoid the grey van fishtailing wildly through the crowds.

From the van, henchmen in black suits and fedoras leaned out the window brandishing large guns, trying to shoot down a lithe figure darting across nearby rooftops, pursuing them through the city.

Zhu-li took a running dive off a building, dodging another salvo of machinegun fire and firing her harpoon at the van. The blade pierced the metal roof and latched on, reeling the figure in a teddy bear jacket towards the vehicle and landing her in a crouch on its roof. The panicked driver swerved even harder, trying to throw her off.

She wasted no time producing a pair of ice daggers and stabbing frantically, carving a hole in the van’s roof. Through this gap, she spotted a cluster of scared faces in the back of the van, all of them young children. “Let them go!” she yelled at the kidnappers.

Instead, one man leaned out a window with a rocket launcher, took aim at the prone figure above and fired. The missile exploded right on mark, knocking her off onto the street behind.

Zhu-li struggled to her knees, one hand gripping her torso where a patch of red welled up, staining her jacket. The girl coughed, her right hand reaching out to the van’s retreating taillights as if still trying to stop them. Then fell unconscious in the street.
