  As my footsteps echoed through the possibly endless tunnel, and when it seemed like I had been walking forever, light caught my eye. My suit glimmered in the light, an off-white with intricate golden lace. I flicked my bushy orange tail tipped in white. I am known as Fiona Fox. My new sidekick, Rachel, gave me a trusting smile and I felt more relaxed. She had thoughtful green eyes that matched the ivy pattern in her silver suit. We finally came out of the tunnel and she gave a sigh of relief. " Finally. Do you see any white flowers..?" I smirked, revealing my pointed fangs. "No, keep searching. " Suddenly, my keen sense of smell detected danger. A white misty shape appeared from the tunnel behind us and I gasped. "Silvius..." Rachel lifted her fingers and vines sprouted from the ground twisting it's way toward our enemy. I snarled and supernaturally jumped toward him and extended my long claws. Silvius hissed and his crimson eyes narrowed. "If it isn't Fiona and her little sidekick Rachel." He laughed and a dark force surrounded Rachel. She gave a muffled shriek and instantly blacked out. " If you attempt to attack me, I will kill her." I looked around frantically and fingered the amber amulet around my neck. A familiar, massive figure lunged out of the distance. The creature, which I called Amber because of the amulet it gave me and it's eyes. The creature looked like a mix of a giant squirrel and a weasel with wings. interesting combination. It shrieked once and lunged through the air and landed on Silvius. My enemy writhed and tried to get away but Amber focused her eyes on Silvius and he got hypnotized by her gaze. Yes, Amber can hypnotize people. In a matter of seconds her job was done and he vanished in a puff of white smoke. Rachel was released and I came to her side checking if she was alright. She gave me a weak smile and took my shoulder. " I'm alright, and while you were fighting I spotted the flower..." Her hand shakily pointed toward a shaded area and there it was, shining in the sunlight. I thanked her and ran toward the flower. I breathed slowly, heart beating fast. This flower gave you the power of life and death.... " So beautiful, but yet so deadly in the wrong hands.: I scooped it from the soil and put it in the small case where it belonged. I came back to Rachel and she was coughing. "No! don't die on me!" I looked at the flower, innocent and fragile. I put it to her chest and the light came back into her eyes, skin returning to natural color. " Thank you." I gave a sigh of relief. " You know, we have accomplished more then just defeating Silvius, I have found the best sidekick there could be."

  I can do something others can't. A strange thing. A thing that defies the very boundaries of physics and logic, yet I still do it. My caretaker, head of the local police force, calls it 'flying', but I'd say a more accurate description would be 'levitating while moving'. Its something I was born with, though my origin is somewhat of a mystery; my first memories are of my caretaker finding me alone in an abandoned building. Sometimes I wonder about my past, but I’ve got bigger fish to fry, so to speak. Even at 12, I know I must protect my country, the East Isle, from the beings that threaten it. My enhanced – ah – abilities allow for me to work from a new angle – quite literally - assisting and saving as many lives as I can. Our country is constantly under attack from the foreigners of the West Isle. They will show no mercy until they have taken what they want, the very land on which the East Isle stands, itself. I simply cannot allow the people of my country to be taken over, when we had so much peace before the West Isle attacked. Find me in scarlet, take a glance up and see me streaking across the sky. The life I live is never a tranquil one, though I know my duty, to help and to save, to be kind and pure of heart. My name is the Red Bullet, I'm 12 years old, and I am a superhero.
