NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5: Ch. 4 Rescue!
Should I start doing first person moments and p.o.v's of others? Or should I keep writing how I am?
Also should I give her more op abilites or slowly build her up?
----------------------------------------------------
Katerina was in the area she remembered from the movie, "how the fuck do I find the base around here?"
As she questioned this she past a large mountain and on the other side was a large base which she could see were people with Stark weapon, "oh that's how." Parking the car nearby but out of the way she quickly went full coverage and used the camouflage ability, and with it being the combination of 3 symbiotes it was more invisibility then it was camouflage, either way she quickly but stealthily made her way to the entrance, 'ding! Quest has been issued: Take them down! Defeat all the enemies with only letting 1 or 2 escape!
Rewards: 2 new system functions, 1 ability, and 1 item!'
Katerina just stared angrily at the transparent screen infront of her before turning around, "HEY FUCKERS!" a few of them looked and saw nothing, but then they saw Katerina slowly come out of the camouflage, Katerina raised her hands and with a thought it changed into a scythe like blade, she nodded in approval and then what everyone saw was that she moved at super speed, calling her speed close to that of quicksilver wouldn't be wrong as in if she practiced she would eventually be faster then him even he was to reach his peak, either way she had had quickly swiped horizontally killing multiple that were in slow motion to her.
Upon realizing that their companions had died many of them began to open fire on her, some even preparing rockets, when someone launched the first rocket she was momentarily taken back before she quick side stepped and used webbing to grab the rocket and swing it back killing multiple, upon seeing people running she smirked before the helmet's mouth morphed resembling that of scream, and scream she did, when she released her ear piercing scream everyone around dropped to their knees, half of them dying on the spot due to the resonance.
The few that didn't die were on the ground crumpled up, she picked up 2 people, "run and tell your boss that Starscreech(might change the name let me know!) killed you're people!"
Her voice was reverberating and deep but high at different moments, never showing her true voice.
With that she dropped them and scrambled to run but they managed to get their footing and ran, once they were in a safe distance she looked at the last 3 alive, she knew the plot to iron man so she was sure not much changed but she wanted to be sure, walking up to the first guy she let the Symbiote change into a tentacle like arm that latched on the guys head, upon seeing his memories she was glad at what she did, at first the killings gave a bad taste in her mouth even if they were using Stark stuff they were still being ordered, but upon seeing his memories she became disgusted. They weren't just in it for the Stark stuff, money, women, even men, weren't spared from them as they tortured them among...other unsavory things to which she ended the connection immediately, she stared at the 3 who looked at her with fear, with careful sound waves bouncing around her mouth she charged it up until it reached it's max, with a powerful release they were immediately killed with there brains actually draining out their ears as mush. She walked towards the cave not sparing them a glimpse.
Upon reaching the cave Yinsen was hiding behind Tony who was in the Mark 1, at first Katerina wasn't sure about opening the door but after a second she shrugged and opened it followed by an explosion, 'ding! Health -100!' On her HUD showed,
[HP 400/500]
[MP INF]
[STA 325/500]
Katerina stared trying to think why only the explosion affected her, 'Ding! Due to host being bonded with not 1 but 3 Symbiotes host is immune to firearms ranging from pistols to assault rifles! But be warned host isn't immune to explosions, and before host asks, miniguns do count as the second part so be aware they will shred the Symbiote cause the fire rate is faster that that of pistols and assault rifles!'
Katerina nodded and finally step out of the smoke, her vibrating deep/high voice penetrating the caves walls bouncing around, "I'm not a foe, I've come to rescue you two. Nice armor by the, should be it better though."
Tony blinked at the person infront of him not really understanding anything as his mind is going a million a second, finally he blinked out the confusion, "Yea it's nice huh? Once I'm back home I can probably make it better, but if you're here to rescue us does that mean you're part of an organization? I knew people liked me!" He said with a smirk while Katerina gave him a deadpan stare with her white/blue eyes, "right, anyway let's go my car's outside ready to take you to the military base." With that tony quickly took off the armor and began following Yinsen and the mystery girl, once at the car she figured it'd be better for her normal self to be seen, so if shield questioned they'd probably see her as nothing but a tech nerd, the Symbiote began changing into a punker jacket like something from cyberpunk while the shirt changed into a normal grey with the words "Lick this" and a tongue, and jet black leggings.
Tony stared in amazement trying to figure out what just happened to her battle outfit, "Ok hold up, what was that! Maybe nanotech? Maybe something far superior?!"
As Tony rambled on the first quest complete popped up, 'Ding! Congratulations for defeating everyone except 2! You're 2 functions are unlocking now!'
'Ding! Congratulations you have unlocked the gifting function! Essentially if you deem someone worthy of gifting you can choose something out of you're inventory to gift them!'
'Ding! You have unlocked Multiversal Travel! The first travel is free as of unlocking this function! Every time you travel to a new world you must use 1000 SP! You can go to worlds you've been to before for free!'
Katerina was wide eyed at the functions, the gifting was cool but it'd probably be a while before she trusted someone enough to deem then worthy, the second function was her favorite unlock so far, but 'System do I get to choose the places I visit?' 'Unfo- i mean fortunately yes!' Katerina gave the screen a glare before turning to look back at Tony, "Just get into the car and stop trying to figure out my suit, we gotta get you to Rhodes." "You know Rhodes? Did he send you?" "No I don't, I just know he's a friend of yours cause anytime you're on the news he's nearby." "Oh, right okay anyway time to go!" Tony said with a smirk as he got into the driver's seat, "Uhm what are doing? This is my car." Tony just gave an eyeroll and went to passenger seat, Katerina got in and put the seat belt on, "No offence Miss Powerfull" "Starscreech" "what?" "Starscreech, I know its lame I'm working on it, anyway for now, don't ask questions and put you're seatbelts on so you get jolted around by the speed" "fine miss Starscreech" he said with a mocking tone, Katerina just smirked as she pressed a button and the car began to hover and then slowly ascend to the skies, this time is was Yinsens turn to speak, "My god, how is this even possible, I thought we were years away from flying vehicles!" Tony turned to look at him, "Yea my father tried to make one when he was alive, could never figure it out thought, so it's a question to how miss screech here figured it out" Katerina just gave him a side glance before speaking, "I'm practically a tech nerd, I made this out of used parts and other tech in my family's barnshop." Tony looked at her with confused look, "barnshop? And did you say used parts and random tech? How is this even working? And if possible how much is it worth?"
Katerina smirked and thought for a minute, "how much is it worth to you? I can also work with you on making another one as long as you pay me the same amount as this one, not to mention that's generous considering the new car would be not only a better model but also better parts."
Tony thought for a while, soon enough they reached the military base, somehow no one had seen them on radars so they weren't met with jets, but that wasn't the same story as when they landed multiple people were aiming rifles at them, then Rhodes stepped forward upon noticing Tony was in the car in which he signaled everyone to lower their weapons.
"How about 1 million for this car and then after we make the new one I'll calculate the numbers based on how well that one is made?" Tony asked as he wasn't showing any signs of stepping of the car yet, "Deal, and when we get to you're shop im gonna have to call my dad and let him know what happened, sigh, I'm not gonna hear the end of his complaining about doing something dangerous" Tony just nodded as Katerina had a thought, 'system claim that item' 'Ding! Host has Received....

How do you guys like it so far?
What item do you think she'll get?
Also I think I should mention this as I haven't stated it yet, items classify as living type of things, she can possibly receive certain helpers from it as well, which I have one I'm gonna bring into her life soon hence the gifting function!
How was the fight? I'm new to that as I haven't delved into it in my other stories, if you got pointers let me know!
Thank you for reading this far!!! EXCELSIOR!!!!
