The 911 operator responded, "Understood, Swat teams are on their way, do not panic. We have several people trained people, prepared to kill the bird. There is no need to worry."
"Stay out of sight, and wait for them" she said.
With that the clear sounds of police sirens could be heard off in the distance.

Free Bird finishes talking with the operator, puts Puffy and her new Mon inside the bathroom for the time being, and waits outside for the police, trembling. To most, it would probably look like she was scared of the giant bird, but she was actually scared FOR the giant bird. She knew they would kill it. And she also knew that this was for the best, since otherwise, human casualties would just rise from it. But even so....it was hard to accept that she was very much responsible for its death. "...That's right. I'm just a girl that beats up bad guys in her spare time. I'm no hero....a hero would save everyone...." She grits her teeth and curses her powerlessness, as well as the violence of the police towards anything they couldn't understand. Finally, she looks towards the area where the bird was laid, wondering if Pokemon even go to an afterlife, before sitting down on the steps to her home.

As she set down on the steps to her home, she felt something warm and gooey roll down the back of her head, and onto the ground.
The bird on her head chirped, on her head jumping up in the air happily.
After a couple minutes, she could hear the police sirens arrive at the building she'd left the bird at. Followed by several, several gunshots.

"......" The girl sighs, and heads back into the house. The police have this situation 'handled'. She locks her doors, before putting the bird inside of a rather large birdcage she had bought for Puffy when she first found her. "Sorry little guy....I hate to keep you locked up like this, but I don't want you hopping in a trash bag or anything. It'll just be for a few days, 'kay?" She locks the cage, before taking a shower to wash off the bird's 'present'. Afterwards, she decided she'd had enough chaos for one night. She locked the hatch on her roof, took a blanket from her room, and decided to sleep on the living room couch with Puffy, in case the bird decided to chirp all night...She couldn't just keep calling it bird though. It needed a name. So in honor of it's mother, she decided she'd go with the first name she called the bigger bird; Hot Wings. With that, she closed her bedroom door, and she drifted off to sleep, trembling from the recent events.

The morning came, as the bird started chirping early in the morning. Seemingly asking for food. Puffy seemed to be on the couch, still asleep sleeping though the sounds made by Hot wings.
Karie could tell from the light outside it was still decently early in the day, as the sun was just barely rising over the ridges.

Karie decided to let Puffy rest a little longer. The poor ball if fluff deserved it after last night. She groggily rose from the couch and stretched, still half asleep. She yawns as she turns on her TV and heads to the kitchen to fetch some bird seed. "Wonder if last night's chaos is in the news....*yaaaaawn*" She opens her room door and heads to the cage as she listens to the news coming from the living room. "Alright my little living alarm clock....breeeakfast tiiime~"

Turning on the television there was a news report with the man from the night before, "April May, with your 5:30 AM news.
She began talking with a picture of the bird Karie saw over her shoulder, "Late last night, a fight between a super heroin and a Giant bird happened on the rooftop of a building. A girl saved a man from being eaten by a giant flaming bird. We have an interview with the man, Mr. Rick Tera"
"So I was out walkin yesterday. And this big *Bleep* bird picked up my *Bleep* and flew into the *Bleep* air with me. I thought I was gonna die, When this Mask came to help me. She started fighting it, and I got the *Bleep* outta there. *Bleep* I was never more afraid in my life." The man from yesterday said.
"Police received a 911 call from someone telling them where the Heroin had left the bird. It was promptly killed, so there is no need to worry about birds attacking you on your morning commute." April may said, "On behalf of Rick Tera from the channel 9 news, Thank you young heroin. "

"Huh. Didn't expect that...Kinda figured he'd think I was just as crazy as the bird~" Karie chuckles as she puts the birdseed into the feeder, and makes sure the cage is properly locked and secured. She then gives Hot Wings fresh water, as the bird happily nommed the seeds. Unlike puffy, Hot Wings wasn't ready for stealthy backpack hitchhiking. "Sorry that you gotta stay in there for now. I'll take you for a flight tonight, K? I just don't want you chirping as I'm walking. I don't wanna explain why i'm carrying a excited bird in my backpack..." She thinks back to the news report. She didn't really like the idea of being called a heroine. Not after getting such a majestic creature killed. "...Well, at least they don't see me as a villain. That's a plus....maybe?" After making sure everything is safe, she puts her Hero clothes inside of a backpack, and puts on her casual clothes. She doesn't have class for a while, so she may as well take a quick walk to clear her mind. She puts Puffy still half-asleep, with an open case of birdseeds, in her backpack, and heads outside.

As she stepped out her door, there was something in front of it. An arrow had been stabbed into the concrete.

"....What?" Karie looks left. then right. Then left again. "...Hellooooo? Is someone there? Someone I who doesn't like me? Cuz I don't like you either, shoving an arrow right in front of my house." She grumbles in response to the early moprning hostility. Arrows do not just spontaneously appear in front of doorways. Or at least, they normally don't. She stumbles closer to the arrow and picks it up, looking around to see if someone is nearby.

Karie reads the note, somewhat worried. There's veeery few reasons for a note to be an an arrow. And she's watched enough TV to know what the most prominent is.

The hand writing was written in red, and was written with a jagged and rough hand writing.
Last night, I track the Bird of fire. You kill bird. I hunt you now. Hunter pride, mean inform you. Hunt start tonight.

Karie stares at the note for a few minutes. Before walking over to her front door. And lightly banging her head against it. " Could I pleeease get a peaceful night? Please? Pretty please with a cherry on top, God? Because I'd like to go one peaceful night without dealing with crazy!" She pouts as she ruffles her hair, and begins walking to the nearest pharmacy. She decides to pick up some painkillers, as well as a box of bandages, in case tonight turns ugly fast. She brings her items up to the register and starts fetching money from her wallet. " Let's see....4 bottles of painkillers, and a box of bandages....11 bucks, right?" Buying 4 potions and 1 bandage for 1100

Karie thanks the clerk, and decides to head to school early. Normally she'd loathe the idea of going there any more than she had to, but they had a library there. And Karie wasn't exactly used to being on he pointy end of an arrow. A bit of research couldn't hurt any more than going in blind, right? She started by hopping onto one of the computers, and searched for the name of her opponent, Fildias. She googled the name, looking for any major news about him, as well as anything random forums might know about the hunter. What she found was that the hunter shared a name with the Celtic Goddess of the Hunt and woodlands. The goddess was known for for protecting the woodland animals, had the power to milk a deer like it was a cow, and had a favored cow named "The Maoi", amongst other interesting facts. She also too a bit of time to research what other animals used to protect themselves from hunters. Between camouflage, speed, and hearing, the ways were numerous, but those three were the ones Karie felt she could most easily accomplish, if she simply made a makeshift black cape to hide in the night. She finished up on her computer, and went up to a librarian. "Excuse me, but do you have any books on Celtic Goddesses?" She informs the librarian of the name she's looking for.

" Alright. Thank you very much." Karie sighs as she leaves the library,. She searched for what she could, but it still felt like she wasn't fully prepared. So, after dealing with her classes for the day, she rushed home to get set up. She took some of her old black clothes, cut them up, and began to fashion a black cape for camouflage. She put on her darkest clothing possible, and used spare black cloth to create a darker bandana to cover her mouth. Finally, she grabbed Puffy and Hot Wings left through her upper hatch, and hopped across the rooftops to where she fought the giant bird. " Alright you two, our opponent is quite possibly an experienced hunter. They use bows, so speed and finesse are of utmost importance!" She pumps her fist into the air as her birds chirp in response. " Until the night falls, we're gonna practice our movements! Make sure to stay away from the edges. I don't want you falling off." With that, Karie trained alongside her Mons to be as fast as possible for the upcoming fight. Agility Training until night falls.

With that the night came, and there seemed to be no sounds as she waited in the night. Give me a perception roll

It's finally time...will I be the hunted? or the hunter? Free Bird motions for Hot Wings to stay right behind her, and Puffy to stay y her side. She takes a position by the side of the staircase closest to the box, in case the enemy arrives by that method. " Puffy, watch the box. Hot wings, watch our back. Squawk if you see anything move. I'll scan the units," She whispers to her Mons, as she tries to scan the roof for her opponent. If this guy is really a hunter...then he might already be here.Perception roll dKDN1XRK5d6 5d6
