Showcase-Sunday: "Spirit of the winter"

  @nonameslefttouse   suggested  using  #Showcase-Sunday  to once again showcase some older works. I think this is a brilliant idea so I wanted to participate. So as my first entry I choose one of my favorite pieces that I have created. This is not a complete repost because unlike in original post this time I mixed story with photos.

   Like most other finns one of ministers of Finland wanted to celebrate midsummer in his private cabin. He drove to a central Finland. Got out of his new fancy car. Looked around and then... began cursing like a sailor. Why you might ask? Someone had cleary already visited his cabin. Burglar or buglars kicked his front door open and even left a mark similar to that of the high heels. Minister was so outraged that for a moment he forgot all about his own safety and rushed inside. At this point burglar was gone. But trail of damage that was left behind caused another wave of heavy swearing Furniture pieces were not where they were supposed to be. It seemed like someone moved them away to just to get more light. Boxes of pizza lying on the floorBut minister was pissed of the most after discovering that his most precious treasure- G&T reserves were gone. This disaster was enough make him cry. After a few moments of silent moaning he swore to all the deities that he will hunt down the criminal and place his head on a stake. At first minister was determined to seek vengeance with his own hands but this plan changed after walking to the yard. Burglar had left footprints in the garden. Gigantic footprints with high heels. Minister was still angry. His blood was boiling. But rage was no longer sufficient source of courage. And whoever left those marks seemed to be far too dangerous. So instead of following the trail minister picked up a phone and made a call. 

   This was the weirdest mission that finnish army had ever received. Protecting country’s borders. Scouting for signs of enemy aggression. Constant training… Those were normal everyday jobs. Something every soldier expected and accepted as completely normal. Following some bizarre footprints and hunting a single target in the woods was not part of the deal. It was such an absurd idea. Complete and utter nonsense. Something that just should never be possible. And yet it was actually happening. Why? None of the present soldiers knew that. Reason was just as absurd as mission itself. In the past someone did a few favors for someone amongst military higher ups and now was the time to collect this debt. A foolish reason to die for… 

   At long last target was located. Strange girl standing on top of the mountain and drooling over the sunset. With sparks in her eyes she observed sun merging with nearby lake. She was so focused on the picturesque view that didn't even notice soldiers gathering around her. Not even command "FIRE” and rain of bullets were worthy of her attention. All shots bounced from girl's skin without even leaving a scratch. And she still only cared about the sun. But then some of the soldiers made a deadly mistake. They threw gas grenades. This caused most unexpected change.  "YOU RUINED THE SKY DRAMA FOR ME!!! I WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU!!!” she shouted with a bloodthirsty voice. And then attacked with beastly fury. That was the last clear sound that was transmitted to the base. After that only terrifying screams of pain and death followed. In a blink of eye the creature that resembled a human tore through hundreds and thousands of soldiers and left only decimated corpses behind. Not a single man escaped from this fate. Even tanks were ripped apart like paper. 

   After hearing about military failure minister cursed some more and then made a final call. It takes a monster to fight a monster. And releasing this monster was the last possible way to get revenge. Project ST Phoenix. Unique super secret international creation. Self aware war plane that flies without a pilot and is capable of analyzing the enemy and constantly evolving.  

 

   She sensed something strange. Suddenly strong gust of wind pulled her hair. And then a rival unlike any other appeared before her eyes. Metal birdo blitzing around with insane speeds. Girl grined with excitement and then revealed her little secret. Within seconds she seemed to grow several times. Long sharp fangs and claws came out of nowhere. Hair became completely loose and uncontrollable. Previously the field of battle was full of flowers and plants. Now it was a cold and icy wasteland. Cute girl turned into a Yeti. Monster created by man and monstrous force of nature were now ready to begin the battle for supremacy and dominance. Phoenix was the first to attack. It hit target with a rocket. Plane knew that explosion of this magnitude at best could only tickle such a savage being. But that was fine. This attack was not supposed to do any damage. After explosion Yeti body was covered with nutella. This was enough to slightly reduce her agility. Mistress of Winter responded with a ferocious roar. This normally worked as a paralyzing attack. But this time her opponent was made of metal so Yeti only used roar as a distraction. Swift kick happened at nearly the same time as she left the sound out. Gigantic red high heel flew right next to the plane. Even now her speed was quite incredible. But not beyond Phoenix’s expectations. It went a little higher and shot right at pretty face of Yeti. Again no effect. From the cloud of smoke fangs and tongue appeared and attempted to catch and swallow the annoying troublemaker. But it once again evaded and then blocked her claws by generating a thick energy shield. From this point on both monsters were constantly upping their game. Phoenix’s engine was getting louder and louder. But Yeti’s roars were not losing in a battle of sound. Numerous rocket shots left no marks on her skin. All plane's attacks formed white currents that slowly flooded down from Yeti body. Like a water off a goose's back. But her fangs, claws or heels were not very effective either. Their monstrous dance lasted for hours upon hours. It seemed that time has stopped and midsummer night will last forever. In truth night was about to end but the battle was still going on. After failing to find any weak points in opponent’s skin Phoenix attempted to target her knees. For a brief moment It seemed like she is about to go down. But Yeti stood up once again. Then she tried something new. It looked like  Mistress of Winter simply grabbed an air. Seemingly a silly childish and harmless act. But Phoenix sensed a danger. It was proven right. Suddenly enormous net that resembled a spider’s web caught plane off guard. It was made from the tiniest filaments but even Phoenix’s engine and weapons were not able to break them. Yeti smiled with delight. Proud and satisfied by her victory. Happy because this metal birdo will be excellent food. And it will last for a full century at very least... But was the battle truly over?
