Vixen: The Movie Page #6

believes it to be a collectable.

You've been tracking it all this time?

In the hopes that one day,

I might have the strength and the wealth

to bring it back to Zambesi.

Where it belongs.

First things first.

Felicity?

This is how I talk to you, right?

Loud and clear.

Speaking of clear, the house is empty.

We got to the big lion thing,

where do we go next?

Around the back. Wow! This place is big.

- Keep an eye out for...

- Guard dogs.

How'd you know?

Good doggies.

Third door on your left.

It's okay. I've got you.

This room must be worth a fortune.

Forget that. Look for the totem.

There.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry, little sister.

But you have no idea

what it feels like to be this weak.

And now, I'll never have to again.

Uh, guys? Everything okay out there?

The spirit totem was always meant to be mine.

But I suppose I'll have

to settle for this one.

You lied to me.

I couldn't do this on my own.

And there goes the security system.

I'll let you handle them.

Sick 'em.

Hey, there. I'm The Atom.

Uh, but you can call me Plan B.

Turns out your sister

doesn't trust you as much as you thought.

Better hold on tight. She's slippery.

Come on! All this bleeding-edge tech and

you don't think I'd make it waterproof?

- Sit down. Stay a while.

- Thanks for the backup.

Atom and Black Canary, right?

- Happy to help.

Green Arrow would've come too.

But, he's a bit tied up.

Running for mayor.

Very long story.

You're gonna have to catch me up

on that one. Love your outfit.

Oh, thanks. I made it myself.

Looks like you've won again, little sister.

So now what?

Now you help us. Like you promised.

Eshu killed our father

and destroyed our home.

- You want revenge?

- Well, I do too.

Even if I have to work with you.

You have the water totem

which means we need your help to stop him.

You will all fight him?

And we'll win. Together.

Hey, guys.

I hate to break up the family reunion,

but we've got a problem.

Your fire guy's in Detroit and he's kinda

doing like a rampage-y thing.

Avenge your village. Save mine.

Good evening, people of Detroit.

My name is Benatu Eshu.

As of this message,

I am no longer a representative

of the Zambesi government.

Pain and destruction and fire

are about to rain down on your fair city.

For this, I apologize.

But one woman has it

within her power to stop this apocalypse.

She knows what she possesses.

And she knows that I want it.

And when it is mine, the death will end.

I promise you all that.

Really not a good time.

I found a song in the archives.

It says each totem has a center. Its ore.

It's like a soul.

If you crush the soul,

the totem will lose its power.

Okay, I'll just ask Eshu

if I can borrow his totem for a minute.

If anyone can do this, it's you.

You were meant for this battle, Mari.

Equal forces, different elements.

Mari?

I think your fiery buddy

wants to get your attention.

- He's got it.

- Mari!

Dad, I need you to get

any place that's not here.

This is your dad? Hey, nice to meet you.

As you burn, try to remember that I wanted

to handle this as human beings.

He doesn't exactly come across

as an expert in that field.

Dad, you need to run.

Find a shelter, stay away from this.

How did he find us?

Maybe because we're wearing costumes.

Well, I'm wearing an advanced exoskeleton.

And actually, I meant Mari's father.

Oh, I helped him a little bit.

I can't fight him

if I know you're vulnerable.

I can't leave my daughter in danger.

- Dad, go!

- Mari, please!

Is that all you're able to conjure?

There is not a single animal

walking the earth that can hurt fire.

- Oh, I can think of one.

- Please, enlighten me.

A canary.

Do you have a single friend

who can defeat me?

Not a friend. A sister.

For what you did to my village,

my family, I will see you drown.

Keep hitting him, Kuasa.

Kuasa! Run!

No. I am not our mother.

I will not run from this fight.

No!

Water cannot defeat fire.

Nor can your spirit.

And I will break your spirit, I promise.

And then I will do that

which I should have done to your mother.

I will kill you.

- You can't stop me.

- You're weak.

Pathetic. Not worthy

of the totem around your neck.

You know it in your bones

that you're not fit to wield the totem.

You can fight and fight and fight.

But you know there is no hope.

You're right. But I don't need hope.

I don't need faith.

I don't need magic.

I just need to beat you.

Not so tough in water, are you?

Please, tell me you've got it.

You should be the one giving me the jewelry.

See? That's what you get for being funny.

Please tell me you've figured out

how to sever his bond with the totem.

You have to smash it.

It took you reading

a really old book to tell you that?

Every totem has a soul.

And the soul will go back to the gods

when broken by someone of great akbara.

You sure? No exhibit for you then.

Smash the thing.

- You need more.

- More what?

More help.

By the way...

What's "akbara" mean?

Is that the place from Aladdin?

It means strength.

This had to be done by someone

with great strength.

- Beautiful dress.

- A Mari McCabe original.

I keep telling you, you've got

a future in design if you go for it.

- You look terrific.

- I'd have to agree.

Thanks, you clean up pretty well yourself.

Professor, this is my... Father.

Adam. Pleasure to meet you.

So, how do you two know each other?

Let's just say, since I met your daughter,

my life has never been the same.

Something we both have in common.

He's been helping me with my... Side project.

Well, it's comforting to know

she's not alone out there.

It's lost its sparkle.

Now it looks so dim and dark.

On the contrary.

Like most things that seem rough and dark,

the beauty will always remain.

We weren't sure you'd come.

Uh, he wasn't sure.

You owe me 20 bucks, BT dub.

When did everyone start saying that?

Uh, that was my thing.

Oh, maybe it's... Catching on.

I thought you didn't like leaving Detroit.

Whether it's in my village or someone else's,

it's my calling to help people in need.

Look out!

Ready to prove that, Mari?

Actually, call me Vixen.

What the hell was that thing?

Suriko doesn't pay us enough to find out!

Come on out. Face us like a man.

I have a better idea.

How about I kick your ass

like a woman instead?

What the hell?

Tell Albert Suriko these streets

don't belong to him anymore.

- I had that under control.

- I know.

What? Not enough in Star City

to keep you busy?

I need your help.
