You are not sure what happend... But you wake up laying in the grass of Central Park in New York... Your knightmare is gone, but it's a lovely place... The trees, the birds singing... The sun shining, the Hobgoblin-
Wait what!?
You see the comic book super villain streaking over the park on his glider.
Meanwhile a strange girl is running after him... In midair... Wearing a white blouse, brown vest, black shin-length pencil skirt, and black pumps. You ignore the urge to drool long enough to realize she looks kinda like Rider from Fate/Stay Night, only younger and with her hair in a bun.
"Will you go away!?" Hobgoblin snarls throwing a pumpkin bomb at her that she dodges... Now said bomb is heading right for you!

For a moment back then, Marina (who herself was wearing a white tutleneck and blue jeans at the time... no shoes, because she hadn't left her home when she created her Knightmare Frame outside) had been enjoying this strange situation. The grass was very pleasant to lie into, the sun bathing her in its rays, a nice little breeze brushing past her skin... a very pleasant way to start out her new life. Then, suddenly, the Hobgoblin showed up to disrupt the perfection of that moment!
-Wow... can't say I expected that, the girl said to no one in particular.
It was true; memories of her past selves and knowledge of her duties and powers or not, she was still unused to the whole superhero business. As far as she knew then, a few hours ago she was still an ordinary human girl.
At any rate, the Hobgoblin wasn't alone... he was being pursued by a very sexy girl looking a bit like a Fate/Stay Night character named Rider. Although her staring had to end there, since a pumpkin bomb was heading straight for her.
-....Oh, for the love of...!!
Taken by surprise, she had little choice but to manifest the first weapon she could think of, that is that of Hobgoblin's most frequent adversary's... Spider-Man's web-shooters! The device appeared, strapped to her forearms, and immediately she shot webbing at the pumpkin, moving to her left along the bomb at the end of the web line, in order to swing it back at its sender! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 4/4 E: 25/25

You quickly spin around and hurl the bomb back... It narrowly misses both the woman and Hobgoblin.
"Ohhh... a second girly wants to join the party." He says drawing a flaming sword. "I'm fine with chopping you both down." He charges at you intending to chop at your neck... But woman is quick and gets in front... She kicks off her high heels, grabs them in mid-air and crosses them like a pair of improvised kama. She quickly blocks his flaming sword like her shoes are made of solid steel.
As you look at her weaponized pumps you can tell they are some sort of mystically enchanced weapons... Strong enough to be used as sickles in battle... Able to be thrown and retrived like a boomerang so long as the weilder retains one shoe... And if the weilder gave someone else one shoe while holding onto the mate. The two would always be able to find their way back to each other. (OOC: +4 Close or ranged combat weapons... Returns when thrown so long as weilder has one of the shoes in hand.)
"What are you doing standing around." She yells at you. "Run, while you still can!"

(OOC: Magical battle pumps for the win. If Hobgoblin is defeated by her, I am SO making a comment about him not being able to even defeat a woman's footwear.)
Soulsteel
The sexy girl apparently wanted Marina to run for her life, she might have thought of her as unable to defend herself, but that wasn't the case, now was it?
-Sorry, can't do that, said the purple-haired girl as she shook her head and assumed a more proper combat stance, one of kung fu, to be more accurate. I'm there to stop dangerous monsters such as him anyway, it's kind of my job... and a long story, which I'll gladly tell you about...
Extending her left hand, she shot a strong web line towards Hobgoblin in order to pull him right towards him with the intent of punching him in the face if it worked!
-...once this clown is down for the count! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 4/4 E: 25/25
6 stones (Efficient) into Ranged Combat, plus 5 from True Master, plus 6 from the Web-Shooters; 10 into getting a hold of Hobgoblin, 2 to pull him right back, and 5 into Defense.
11 stones (Efficient) into Close Combat (Kung fu, Use of Powers in combat), plus 6 from "Webbing one-two K.O" special tech, into a 15 stones attack, 2x damage, VS Hobgoblin, 2 stones into control to not kill him.

You web-grab the goblin, and yank him forward off his glider. His face collides hard into your fist knocking him out onto the grass...
"Wow... Impressive." The girl says standing in mid air as she slips her pumps back on.

-Oh... you really think so? Marina asks, blushing a little. I'm still getting used to all this...
As she talked, she shot two other strands of webbing, one at the Glider, another at a nearby wall, then attached both together, in order to force the glider to crash land nearby where it wouldn't hurt anyone.
-...superhero and powers deal, so I was afraid I'd mess up... but I can't really take credit, that was just the adrenalin... and my predecessors' experience at work. Maybe with a touch of my imagination, perhaps.
(OOC: If all goes as planned, and the Glider crashes nearby, thus ending the threat:)
The purple-haired girl then extended her hand, just as a sound of metal meeting rock and ground a dozens yards behind her was heard:
-I'm Marina Dee Richards, it's a pleasure to meet you!... Although... perhaps you might have heard of me under another name...? Does Deborah Soulsteel... in my case, the 17th... ring any bell? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 4/4 E: 25/25
13 stones (Efficient) into Ranged Combat, plus 5 from True Master, plus 6 from the Web-Shooters; 12 into catching the Glider, 10 into forcing it to crash down maybe a dozen yards away behind Marina; 2 into control to make sure it doesn't hurt anyone as it crashes, and is just far enough from us in the case the pumpkin bombs explode because of the crash. Using my 3 stones of Rule of Awesome to make it crash at the very moment I want it to and not react at all to the sound of it crashing.
6 stones into Social Skills (Kind and caring, Heroine, Being sexy without even trying, Deborah Soulsteel the 17th), plus 4 from Attractive, into making a good first impression as I introduce myself. ^_^

"Can't say I have actually." She says hopping down from mid air to face you, than shaking your hand. "I'm Melissa Emiya." She added. "We should get out of here before the police arrive, I hate having to answer their questions."

Marina "Soulsteel" Dee Richards
Marina nodded, herself not too interested in spending the next hour answering to a bunch of questions and especially not alone.
-Sure thing... just give me a second. A little bit of precaution goes a long way...
She generously webbed Hobgoblin's feet and hands, then suspended him to a nearby tree. Ripe for the picking, a gift from her to the police (who'd doubtlessly be there in no time anyway, what with the battle Melissa/Hobgoblin, the pumpkin bomb's explosion and the glider crashing and all). Of course, they'd probably think it was Spider-Man's work, unless there were witnesses... but whatever, as long as Hobgoblin was caught, she wasn't there to make a name for herself.
-He ain't getting away, heehee. Alright... so, anywhere we might go where we could continue where we left off in peace?
Marina readied herself to shoot a web line or twelve to follow Melissa, wherever she was going to go. Not that she absolutely had to talk to her about it all... but the girl was nice, and well, she was very pretty. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 4/4 E: 25/25
3 stones (Efficient) into Ranged Combat, plus 5 from True Master, plus 6 from the Web-Shooters; 10 into tying Hobgoblin up with webbing to make sure he won't escape before the cops get there even if he does wake up before that, 4 into suspending him to a nearby tree.
5 stones into Web-Slinging to follow Melissa when she does decide to leave the scene, using trees and nearby buildings once we get to 'em to attach my web lines to.

Melissa air-runs through the city streets.
You arrive at a small apartment building.
"Welcome to my home..." She says slipping off her heels as she makes her way through the window. "Make yourself comfortable... My roomates should be home soon."

-Thanks, Marina answered, as she lands inside the appartment, letting go of her last web line. As she did, the web-shooters vanished.
-Better change this, otherwise they'll nickname me Spider-Girl VI or some such nonsense, she said mostly to herself. But... roommates, you say? Do you mean literal roommates, or is that a trendier way of meaning "fellow heroes and teammates"?
Either way, she didn't mind, but she wanted to know if she could speak openly in front of them or not.

"Literal roomate... But she's an another superhuman." Melissa said. "In fact... I think she actually has the same power as you."
"Melissa, are you bac-" The bathroom door opens and wearing a towel is a familiar brunette wearing only a knee-length towel.
"M-M.... Marina..." Eve says looking you from head to toe. "You're here too?"

(OOC: DAMN! And I mean, DAAAAAAAMN. In a totally 'wasn't expecting that at all' kind of way. ) Marina "Soulsteel" Dee RichardsMarina looked at the beautiful brunette, astounded, wide-eyed and gaping, unable to utter a word for over thirty seconds. Then she slowly pointed at the girl and somehow managed to utter something more or less understandable: -W-w-w-w-w-whaaaAAAAAT?........ E-eve...?!! Eve? Is.... is that really you? Here of all places?She just couldn't believe her eyes at all, but whatever, she just leapt in the other girl's arms! -Hmmh!! It's so good to see you again! But... by what miracle?! And you have powers, too? How come?

"I can't explain it..." Eve said hugging you close... "But I'm apparantly the reincarnation of this woman... Katherine Ironhart or something..." She admitted.
That name sends an immediate sense of dread, and concern into your mind. You don't know exactly who that is... But it is someone who wants to hurt you... BADLY.
"Marina? Is something wrong?" Eve asked worridly. "You seems tense all of a sudden."

-I... I'm not sure. Katherine Ironheart... you said?
Worried, the girl searched her past lives' memories. That name did ring a bell... but why? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12 stones (Efficient) into General Knowledge (Myths and legends, Folklore, Occult Lore, Remnants of her past lives' memories), plus 5 from True Master if it applies (since she seems to have a power related to weapons), into a total of 12 / 17 stones to search my memories about Katherine Ironheart.

Katherine Ironhart... Former protoge of Deborah Soulsteel the forth... She fell in love with the woman, and through sheer will managed to duplicate her abilities...
But ultimately Deborah rejected her feelings driving the poor girl insane... She attacked the woman in anger and both slew each other after a fierce battle.
