It was a sunny day in Metro City, with people walking around, going about their day. The streets were bustling with cars driving by.
Just looking at it would make anyone believe that this was the best day ever to be out. Little did anyone know that this beautiful day would soon be turned upside down.
Within moments, a loud *CRASH* was heard as a nearby building collapsed, spilling debris all over the ground in the street, pulling cars to a halt.
People gathered around, wondering what happened and why the building suddenly collapsed.
“What happened?” some said, while others said, “The building just fell out of nowhere. Is anyone hurt?”
Upon closer inspection, it was clear that no one was injured, as no one was in the vicinity of the building when it fell.
Just then, they heard a loud voice from the top of a building, and looking up, they saw that it was Soundwave in all his glory.
Some people pulled out their phones to record him, while others screamed in terror and ran away. But there was one person who worked up the courage to ask,
“Was it you who did this? And why?” It was a young woman who looked no older than a teenager.
To this, Soundwave responded, “Yes, it was me who destroyed the building,” he said with a laugh. “And I will continue destroying this city until Omni Eve comes out and faces me.”
After hearing this, all of the people began crying out for Omni Eve to come and save them, but it all fell on deaf ears.
Seeing that Omni Eve was not coming, Soundwave sent various blasts of high-powered sound crashing into buildings, instantly destroying them.
This caused the people to start running away, trying to find somewhere safe to hide until this terrible event was over.
Omni Eve, on the other hand, was not even in Metro City as she was in another dimension training with Norika, while Paradox was in Metro City but just stayed back and enjoyed the chaos, choosing not to intervene.
For Paradox, the reason he did not stop Soundwave was simple: it was not his problem; it was Eve’s problem to deal with. Other than that, he just found the whole situation interesting.
Paradox created some popcorn as he watched building after building crumble. But he was not all bad; if he saw or sensed that someone was in danger, he teleported them to safety.
“Seems like things are getting interesting. I wonder when Eve will get back and how she will react,” Paradox said amusedly, knowing that Eve would lose control seeing the city destroyed.
Inside the [Training Dimension], we see Eve and Norika sparring, engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
Eve is struggling to keep up with Norika, who is moving too fast for her to see. Even relying on her senses does not help, so she focuses all of her power on trying to see into the future to predict Norika’s attacks.
By doing this, Eve is able to anticipate most of Norika’s strikes, seeing that all of them are aimed at her torso, which she shields with an invisible barrier.
It almost works, if not for Norika putting more force into her strikes, breaking the barrier and sending Eve flying into a nearby tree.
Pulling herself out of the tree, Eve increases her speed, crossing the field in an instant and sending a haymaker at Norika. Norika dodges it but soon realizes it was the wrong move as an invisible force hits her, sending her flying back a couple of feet.
Norika noticed that even though she dodged the strike, an invisible force followed her and hit her, having the same effect as her psychic gloves.
Eve charges at Norika again, launching a kick with her left leg, which Norika catches, but she is immediately caught off guard by Eve spinning around and using her right leg to kick Norika in the side.
Norika grunts, feeling a little bit of pain from Eve’s strike, but it is not enough to stop her. She tightens her grip on Eve’s left leg and slams her into the ground, creating a small crater, before jumping into the air and sending a right axe kick down at Eve.
Seeing this, Eve uses her telekinesis to send a few of her red rods into the air at high speed, which impacts Norika’s leg, causing a massive explosion.
Once the explosion dissipates, we see that Norika’s outfit is burned to cinders, but she has no injuries on her body.
Norika dusts herself off as her outfit starts to mend itself, forming around her body. She looks straight at Eve before giving a grin and pulling out her sword.
Eve, for her part, does not let this affect her. She strengthens her psychic gloves and charges at Norika, throwing a punch that collides with the black sword, causing the ground around them to explode and debris to fly in all directions.
Eve does not let up as she throws a barrage of punches that Norika blocks. But to her surprise, Norika begins to get pushed back little by little, showing how much stronger Eve has gotten in such a short time.
They both jump back away from one another and just before they can continue their fight, a holograph of Metro City appears inside the [Training Dimension] via Paradox, showing them the state of the city.

Eve and Norika both look at it, seeing that 90% of the city has been destroyed. Then, a voice appears in Eve’s head, which sounds just like Soundwave, saying, “If Omni Eve does not appear, I will destroy this city.”
This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Eve is torn between two things: she is angry that she did not know what was going on and that all of this is happening because of her. The enemy was looking for her, which led to the city being destroyed.
Before Norika can even act to create a portal back to Metro City, all she sees is pure rage on Eve’s face with her hair shadowing her eyes. Before she can blink, Eve is gone.
Eve, being reckless, uses the maximum of her psychic powers, ripping a hole through space, breaking past the barrier of this dimension and into Paradox Earth as she appears in Metro City.
“And here I thought I was reckless,” Norika says before letting Paradox know what happened.
Doing this does not come without consequences, as most of her bones are crushed along with a few of her organs. But Eve does not let this slow her down as she puts on her Omni Eve costume before taking off and flying towards where she senses Soundwave.
Once she finds him, Eve does not waste any time as she sends some of the red rods at Soundwave, who creates a sound barrier around himself, stopping the attack.
“It’s good to see you here, Omni Eve. Do you like what I did with the town? I think it looks better like this,” he says with an evil grin. “Don’t you agree?” He launches a concentrated blast of sound at Eve, who does not bother to dodge. Instead, she holds out her hand and uses her telekinesis to send the attack back at him.
Soundwave is struck by his own attack, which sends him through the last building in town, destroying it.
Suddenly, the rubble is sent flying by a powerful sound wave that reverberates through the now-destroyed Metro City, causing everyone’s ears, except Paradox's and Omni Eve's, to ring.
With incredible speed, Soundwave rushes around on the ground, using his high-powered blasts to launch the rubble into the air at Omni Eve, who casually destroys it with a thought.
But that is all a distraction as the dust from the attacks obscures her vision, allowing Soundwave to send a powerful beam of sound that strikes her dead-on, sending her hurling to the ground.
Paradox, who is watching from above, shakes his head, knowing that if Eve were in the right state of mind, she would have sensed it and dodged it.
Paradox watches as Eve stands up with a limp, as the injuries she got from forcefully traveling between dimensions are catching up to her, knowing that if she does not finish this fight soon, she will lose.
Eve begins to walk, limping toward Soundwave, who grins, relishing in the pain he is inflicting on his enemy. He lights up his hands and fires off a volley of sound beams, which all impact Omni Eve.
Soundwave is about to make a speech about how he is the victor when he senses something off. Looking over at Omni Eve, he sees that she is in the same spot and the sound beams are held in place.
It turns out that Eve used the last of her power to create a barrier around herself while catching Soundwave's attack. Before he can do anything, Eve sends the attack back at him. It travels so fast that it makes no sound, hitting Soundwave and sending him flying hundreds of feet back.
Taking a deep breath, Eve finally manages to calm herself down enough to register the condition of her body, and she lets out a loud scream of pain.
Eve, finally in the right state of mind, uses her telekinesis to mend her wounds as she starts rapidly healing. After a few minutes, she is fully healed and refreshed.
Paradox surprised that Eve was able to reel in her anger so quickly, is about to comment when Norika appears beside him, making the first comment.
“I see she is doing well. I guess training her to control her emotions came in handy,” she says, getting Paradox to look at her peculiarly.
“Did you know that something like this would happen?” Paradox asks Norika.
“Of course I did. Eve is just like me, brash and acts impulsively, so I decided to teach her how to control herself,” Norika states, showing how much she cares about Eve and helping her out with future problems.
“Well, that was a smart idea. I was always wondering what you two were training since I never felt the need to watch,” Paradox says before going back to watching the fight between Omni Eve and Soundwave.
But before either of them can make a move, all they hear is cheering from the people of Metro City, chanting Omni Eve’s name and asking her to take down the villain who mercilessly destroyed their city.
Upon hearing this, great joy fills Eve’s heart, knowing that what she is doing is right. This also gives her renewed strength to keep fighting for the people and for her city.
Omni Eve decides to end this battle quickly as she charges toward the downed Soundwave, using her telekinesis to press him into the ground under intense gravity.
But Soundwave just smiled as he rockets himself off the ground and into the air, bringing himself face-to-face with Omni Eve. Opening his mouth, Soundwave releases a high-pitched sound that bursts her eardrums, causing them to bleed, and blinds her by making her eyes bleed as well.
Soundwave, thinking that he has won since his enemy cannot see or hear, walks slowly toward her and is about to launch an attack, which is abruptly stopped by Omni Eve as she uses her telekinesis to freeze his body mid-motion.
Doing this, Omni Eve closes her hand into a tight fist, crushing all of the bones inside Soundwave's body.
Soundwave falls limply to the ground, stuttering, “H-how? You should not have known what I was about to do. I blinded you and cut off your hearing.”
To this, Omni Eve responds with disgust, “Did you forget about our first encounter? I said I use all of my senses to fight. Just because you stopped two of them does not mean that I couldn’t find you.” She steps on his leg, causing him to scream out in pain.
After doing this, she adds, “Unlike the other senses a human has, I don't rely on my eyes or ears. I rely on my sense of touch. I feel the air, I feel the breathing, and most of all, I feel someone's life force. That is how I fight.” With this, she shuts off Soundwave's brain, ending the fight.
With the fight over, the people all run over to Omni Eve, asking her all kinds of questions and praising her for helping their city.
Omni Eve looks over at the destroyed city with sadness in her eyes, knowing that it will take forever to fix it, even with her powers. But then something strikes her: her brother. She knows he is here and that he just watched everything without intervening. Even if she is a little irked, she knows what kind of person he is.
Sensing his location, she looks up into the sky, and just seeing his face, she knows that he knows what she wants. With a snap of his finger, Paradox restores the city to its former glory before Soundwave destroyed it.
The people all shout for joy as their city is mysteriously restored. With this event finally over, the mayor decides to build a giant statue of Omni Eve in memory of her heroic deed.

Weeks go by, and the people of Metro City return to their normal lives, knowing that if anything ever happens, Omni Eve will come and save the day.
Eve, for her part, keeps up with school while helping her best friend Kiana with homework. When not doing that, she is out patrolling the city, stopping crime. Within a short time, her name is feared by all in the underworld as the cruel hero who fights for justice by any means, even torture.
Somewhere in a dimly lit sewer, a man obscured by darkness smiles as he watches everything that transpired between Soundwave and Omni Eve. He decides for himself that he will test this little hero and see what it will take to break her.
Who is this man, and what are his intentions? Is he good or evil? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain: Omni Eve better look out because things are going to get crazy around Metro City.
Eve is seen walking home from school, but as she does, she gets a strange feeling that she is being watched. As soon as she senses the location of the person, they vanish without a trace, leaving her confused.
