Under the surface of the pristine lake, you can see the shimmering of silver scales and the ripple of something huge swimming in the water.

A dark blue egg patterned with black stars can be found resting in the sand of a tiny island near the center of the lake.

The air itself seemed electrified that morning.

Kayla Croft was in a dangerous mood.

Lightning rippled down her uninjured left arm as she stared out over the crystal lake. She was standing sole-deep in water, on the fringes of the pebbly shore, fingers twitching, an almost maniacal grim smile on her face. Out, out, far out in the center of the lake, standing defiant among the sea of water, was a tiny mound of sand too pitiful to be called an island. That's where her prize was. Standing in her way were several thousand gallons of lake water and a giant sea serpent that lurked just beneath the surface. Every now and again you could catch glimpses of it and the silver shimmer of its scales, whenever it threatened to rise from the deep. It never did.

Despite the flowers, the pristine water glittering underneath the sun, the cool valley breezes, she was pissed. Pissed off at everything. How could she enjoy a stupid spring day right now? Her alarm had gone off an hour too early, Pres had eaten the last of her Cinnamon Toast Crunch, she was still battered to hell and back from that fucking mission, and that Simulation had made her cry and scream like a little kid in front of half the school. Kayla's pride had been wounded too many times these past few weeks, and now she needed someone to work her anger out on.

Needless to say, she was not in the most stable of emotional states that morning.

"Hey now..." Kayla muttered to no one in particular, sparks crackling as her fingers twitched again. Her right arm was still out of commission, resting in a sling, but she had begun to heal. Slowly, but surely. Her black eye had long faded, her broken nose had healed, she didn't have to wear that awkward medical boot anymore, and she was out of most of her bandages. Sure, her toes were still broken, and there was pain when she walked, but she didn't need a crutch or wheelchair or giant-robot-shoe anymore, so that was good enough for her.

Or would be, if she wasn't so agitated. Her eye twitched. "I only got a few hours of sleep last night, you know?" She channeled all her hate and irritation on the sea monster lurking beneath the water. Something as absurd as a Leviathan didn't phase her anymore. Kayla could shoot lightning out of her hands and her dorm prefect was a shapeshifter. You got used to that sort of thing after a few weeks. "I'm running on Red Bull and trail mix right now, and when my alarm went off, my roommate told me I have to go hunt for fucking Easter eggs. I just want to play video games games right now." Electricity zapped around her fingers. "Don't you think this is a little bullshit?"

There was no one else around, at least not yet. Just her, the sea monster, and the wide blue sky.

Electricity flared up around her like fire, surrounding her, encompassing her. "Don't ignore me! I'm really fucking angry right now!"

Spears of lightning seemed to arch out from her hair, raining down on the water's surface like artillery fire. The whole lake suddenly become electrified, and the monster surged out from the water with a splash, roaring its discontent.

It was like a snake — or maybe more like a wingless dragon. The Leviathan's sky-shattering roar make the whole valley quake, but Kayla didn't flinch from it. Instead she held out her hand, a ball of lighting forming in her palm as electric currents rippled down her arm.

She threw it with a shout, and it shot out over the lake's surface like a bullet, slamming into the sea serpent and making it crash back into the water with a great splash. White water rose fifteen, twenty feet into the air where it'd fallen. Small waves surged up and soaked her up to her knees, even over where she was, on the far side of the lake. Droplets rained down from above, soaking her hair and hat.

Her eye twitched again. The monster was swimming right toward her now, its yellow eyes glowing just under the surface.

The enormous Leviathan was enraged by the ball of electricity striking it making it fall back into the lake. It swam quickly back towards the land, eventually surfacing above the water releasing a loud roar from it's mouth. As it roared the tentacles on its body flailed around angrily. Finally noticing the young lady, one of it's tentacles stretched out wrapping around the girl constricting her upper body movement immobilizing her. The mighty beast then tossed the girl with a ton of force into a bed of boulders lying near the tree's. Moving back farther into the lake, with the tentacles still flailing.

More electricity began to gather in her palm as it sped forward through the water, but as it erupted from the water again, Kayla took a step back, grimacing.

Tentacles?!

The moment of hesitation was all they needed to dart down toward the land, wrapping around her body, constricting her like a snake. She struggled in its grasp, electricity flaring from her arms and traveling down the monster's tentacles, but it was too little too late.

Her breath caught in her throat as it tossed her straight into a tumble of boulders by the treeline. She let out a shout, clenching her eyes shut and flailing her good arm as she went hurtling through the air.

. . . THUD.

A thud, not a crack. Pain shot through her entire body, but that was a good sign, right? Sparks crackled around her head as she blinked her eyes open again, biting back the pain. A throw like that into a bunch of rocks should've splattered her across the ground, or at the very least put her in the hospital for another year. But... for some reason, she was still alive, and wholesome, and nothing was broken. At least from what she could tell.

Maybe it was a miracle of trajectory, or one of the teachers were looking out for her. One of them had some sort of reflection or shock absorption she was pretty sure — and the school faculty had assured them that no death would occur despite the obvious danger. Could that be it? Or fuck, maybe she'd just been lucky and hit the ground in just the right way, but whatever the case, it still hurt like hell.

Kayla struggled to her feet, gasping and clenching her waist. She'd only broken a few ribs just a couple weeks ago. The last thing she needed was another visit to the infirmary.

She began to limp away from the rocks, back toward the water again. Bluish-white lightning was reflected in her eyes, as electricity flared down her arms. "Asshole, all my bruises just healed..." A mission to Japan had resulted in her bouncing along a concrete floor covered in broken glass. It hadn't been much of a pleasant experience, and... "H-Hey!" Kayla yelled after it, seeing it move back further out into the lake. "Stop swimming away again! I'm talking here!"

Impure water, like this lake, was an excellent conductor of electricity. If you dropped an electric cable or a toaster inside a bathtub, you'd die. Even little kids knew that.

This stupid thing didn't seem to understand, though.

She stomped her foot inside the shallows, shin-deep, and whisked her arm through the air. Lightning extended out from her fingers like a whip, slashing into the water and sending a wave of electricity rippling across the surface. It looked like she'd have to put her full power into this... One billion volts of electricity traveled inside a lightning bolt, enough to kill or paralyze the average person with a direct hit. A lake monster might be more resilient than a human being, but it was still the same principle. Lightning was deadly. It burned hotter than the sun, it could blind you with its flash, it could stop your heart. Kayla knew all the hazards her power brought.

So while all her strength into the electricity shooting out from her fingertips, Kayla's scowl began to transform into a grin. She couldn't go all-out like this too often.

The young lady had managed to recover from being thrown into the bed of boulders. It's tentacles kept on flailing as the girl whisked her hand up, generating electricity that seemed to had form something similar to a lighting bolt. Before she could do anything with it the mighty beast extended two more of it's tentacles charging straight at the water making a huge wave of water that was sent in the direction of the girl. The leviathan swam closely behind the wave seeking to strike again with more force.

Her grin died as the tentacles came swinging down, sending a huge wave of water rippling her way. Shit. The nurse had specifically told her 'no running!' once the medical boot had come off, but... well, it looked like she was past listening to precautions anyways. It was either run and risk breaking her still-healing toes, or sit right in the path of a tsunami and the sea monster chasing after it. Laughable, really, but she already knew what to do.

Kayla stood firm where she was and forced a smile through her clenched teeth. Come on. The girl held out her arm, lightning rippling down it to gather in a tight blue sphere at the tip of her nail. Sparks formed around her fingertips as the sphere grew bigger, and bigger, and bigger.

Show your ugly face...

This was her first time using this move since she killed that girl in Japan.

Unlike her usual electric attacks, this was more focused — more like a blue laser cannon than a lightning bolt. In other words, a concentrated beam of all her power. If Kayla was being honest, she had no idea what kind of effect it would have on something as big as that thing, but it could blow through walls and melt steel beams at full strength, and she already knew too well what it could do against a human body. In her half-healed state, it wasn't as powerful as it could be, but at such a close range, into the monster's face or open mouth, it wouldn't matter. Even if it somehow couldn't pierce the Leviathan's armor, the eyes were vulnerable, and the brain operated on electric signals. They were in for a light show either way.

She just had to make sure not to get eaten first. The monster was approaching fast, just behind the wave.

Her finger was trained on it like a gun, ready to unleash the attack the moment she could see its beady black pupils.

The water came crashing down around her, knocking her backwards, but she could see the Leviathan now, right up close.

"Sayonara!" Kayla shouted just above the water, almost giddy as she snapped her fingers. A sound cracked through the air like a gunshot, and the lightning laser went shooting out from her finger and right into the monster's face as it came charging forward.

As the massive wave got closer, the leviathan didn't quite catch notice to the girl not moving. She took there preparing for the impact. As the wave got close enough she snapped her fingers releasing some sort of energy wave into the face of the monster. Piercing it's face, leaving a giant hole in it's forehead. The wave split in half as the blast cut through it, smashing onto the land. As for the leviathan, it stopped in it's tracks falling back into the water. Greenish- blue blood came splatting out of the wound which came from the energy blast. This battle had concluded leaving the young lady as the victor free to claim the egg.

Kayla sat on the ground, soaked in monster blood and lake water, with the last remnants of sparks zapping around her fingers.

She smiled, stood, and brushed herself off, patting the dead Leviathan on the snout. It had only stopped a foot away from where she'd been knocked back by the wave. "Stay," she told it, and began to walk along the shoreline, eyes scanning for a way to get across.

The guardian monster had only been half the challenge. Now her only obstacle was the lake itself.

That made her frown. A fight against a monster was simple and straightforward enough, but adding a barrier like this was a whole different enemy. It didn't matter how many lightning strikes she sent down into the water, it wouldn't move or collapse or budge out of the way. She was stuck.

It wasn't like she could just swim across either, at least not in her state. One working arm and a questionable foot just meant that she'd drown. Kayla's only choice was to walk along the shoreline and hope she'd find a solution there.

After awhile of wandering, she came across a rickety old rowboat lying on the shore. Kayla frowned, giving it a light tap with her foot. Could this thing even float?

Her gaze traveled over the sparkling water, toward the egg on the island, and let a sigh escape her lips. I guess I'm about to find out. She didn't get drenched in monster goo for nothing.

Kayla kicked the rowboat forward, into the shallows, and stepped inside. It wobbled, but didn't sink right away, so that was... good? She could only hope that it'd stay that way and not change its mind halfway through her trip.

Once she'd pushed it further out into the water and sat down, she cursed under her breath, realizing her predicament. How the hell was she supposed to row with one arm?

Electricity rippled down her fingers. Maybe... a makeshift motor? It'd be risky, but her electricity could propel her across. As Kayla drifted to a standstill, she realized she didn't have much choice.

"This is going to take a lot out of me, y'know..." she complained to no one in particular, letting her electricity gather at the tip of her nail. One use wouldn't hurt, but repeating it over and over again would leave her feeling dizzy and exhausted. And as far as she knew, she still had seven eggs to catch.

Oh well.

Kayla pointed her finger at the wake left behind by her shitty little boat and grimaced. The sphere was growing in size. Don't catch my boat on fire, please.

She snapped her fingers and the boat launched itself forward, skipping across the water like a stone.

[Time skip because I'm lazy]

Kayla wiped a bead of sweat from her brow with the back of her hand and tossed the egg up in the air before snatching it back again. All this trouble over this one little egg? This prize better be worth it.

Now the trouble was just figuring out how to get back. Her eyes drifted to the wreck of splinters that used to be her boat and groaned.

It'd been ten minutes since she beached herself on the egg's island, and the Leviathan's corpse was beginning to stink under the noon sun.
