Match 21048 Alopex vs. Silver Fox

[JohnnyChany]

 

In a tucked away Hydra compound outside the city, Silver Fox, the representative for the New York branch of Hydra, arranged for a meeting between her organization and the criminal organization, the Hand. Power players from both sides gathered around an ancient table to discuss an accord of sorts.

Baron Wolfgang von Strucker sat at the head of the table. His monocle glinted in the soft light as he addressed the group. Beside him stood Silver Fox herself.  Across from them, the Hand's inner circle, led by the stoic Gorgon, sat quietly but very alert.

STRUCKER: It is rare that Hydra extends a hand, but your... predicament intrigues us. A former ally turned reformer, threatening centuries of tradition? Such a stain cannot go unanswered.

GORGON: The new leader of the Foot Clan who has replaced the fallen Shredder has proven troublesome. The honor he claims to restore is nothing more than a veil of weakness. His leadership poisons the legacy of the clan.

SILVER FOX: And you wish him to be replaced with someone more... pliable.

Gorgon nodded.

GORGON: With Karai in charge, our rightful alliance could be restored. Splinter’s ideals have no place in the Hand’s vision for the future. Once he is removed proper business with the Foot can resume.

STRUCKER: You have no shortage of assassins and killers in your employ. Still you come to us?

GORGON: The rat’s death can not be traced back to us in any way. It would damage our standing and thus future dealing with the Foot Clan.

Strucker leaned forward and clasped his hands.

STRUCKER: Understood. Hmm, Having a favor from the Hand in our pocket would be quite the commodity. It is settled. Hydra will eliminate Splinter, and clear the path for this Karai’s ascent. Silver Fox will lead this operation personally. She has never failed.

Silver Fox met Gorgon’s gaze with steely confidence.

SILVER FOX:  Consider it done. Splinter’s end will come swiftly, and your order will be restored.

Silver Fox trailed Splinter for days, always from the shadows. She observed his every move with keen interest. She noted his routines, his meditative walks, and his moments of solitude. Her target was not just a skilled fighter but a thoughtful strategist, one who could not be underestimated.

One evening, she followed him into the sewers, into the labyrinthine network of tunnels that had once been his home. Silver Fox moved silently from a safe distance. Ahead, she saw Splinter. The leader of the Foot Clan walked slowly and was clearly deep in thought.

SPLINTER: I wonder... have I allowed power to corrupt me?

His voice echoed softly in the tunnel. He paused, leaned on his staff,  and bowed his head in contemplation.

SPLINTER: My sons... they question my choices. Am I truly leading them toward peace, or dragging them into endless conflict?

Silver Fox crouched in the shadows, dagger in hand. The moment was perfect. Before she could strike, another figure emerged from an adjacent tunnel. Alopex, the mutated white-furred arctic fox, approached Splinter.

ALOPEX: You’re not alone in wondering about the Foot Clan’s legacy.

Splinter turned. His expression softened.

SPLINTER: Alopex. What brings you here?

ALOPEX: Looking for you. You know, I think about it too. The same thing that keeps you awake at night. The Foot Clan is a huge part of both of our histories, for better and worse. But you’ve done something Shredder never could, you’ve given it a chance at redemption.

Splinter sighed.

SPLINTER: And yet, my sons doubt me. Perhaps they see what I cannot. Perhaps my vision is flawed.

Alopex stepped closer. She placed a clawed hand on his shoulder.

ALOPEX: Then talk to them instead of retreating to your former home. Share your doubts. You’ve always taught them to question, to think for themselves. Trust them to do the same for you.

Splinter nodded slowly.

SPLINTER: You speak wisely, Alopex. I will heed your counsel. My sons deserve honesty from their father.

He turned and began to leave. His staff echoed faintly in the distance as he walked away. Alopex stood in silence. Her ears twitched. She sniffed the air, and her nose crinkled.

ALOPEX: I know you’re out there. I can smell you.

A cold voice cut through the shadows.

SILVER FOX: Impressive. Though I’m not here for you, little fox.

Alopex’s ears flattened, and she peered through the darkness around her.

ALOPEX: Who are you? And what do you want?

Silver Fox moved closer, though she remained in the darkness.  Her voice was calm and confident.

SILVER FOX: Just a professional fulfilling a contract. Splinter’s time has come. Stand aside, and I won’t have to waste my time on you.

ALOPEX: Not a chance. If you want him, you’ll have to go through me.

Silver Fox chuckled.

SILVER FOX: I’ve done my reading on you, Alopex. A former assassin turned idealist. But tell me, how many lives did you take before you decided to play the hero? Do you really think you’ve atoned for all that blood?

Alopex flexed her claws and grabbed her kamas. Her tail swished with agitation.

ALOPEX: You don’t know anything about me.

SILVER FOX: Don’t I? You’re loyal to Splinter now, but loyalty is fragile, isn’t it? Especially when it’s built on guilt and doubt. Walk away. This isn’t your fight.

ALOPEX: It is now. And I don’t take orders from cowards hiding in the dark.

SILVER FOX: A shame. You could’ve lived to see another day. But it seems only one of us will leave here alive and I have a rat to trap.

ALOPEX: Then make your move, but make it count. It could very well be your last.

I'm going to go with Alopex. She might be young but she's definitely garnered enough experience fighting against and alongside the Turtles in their fight against the Foot clan, the Triceraton army, the Pantheon, and the Dragon Lord.

As far as her skill is concerned, Alopexhas fought evenly with and against Raphael and even held her own against the Shredder, who in the IDW comics, is insanely experienced and skilled with over 500 years battle experience as both Takeshi Tetsuo and Oroku Saki.

Yeah, definitely Alopex.

Alopex is my pick too. So glad that you used Silverfox. I just recently put up that picture of her just because I felt she needed a better one for her matches if she ever got one.

I was wondering about that. I had been thinking of using Silver Fox in the past and was surprised when I saw a new battle pic for her this time around.

I randomly just throw alternat pics for characters. Most of the time I'm too tired to write but some resizing and pointing and clicking doesn't call for a lot of brain power.
