Description:
Vanessa Hickman just so happened to be one of the first recruits who joined the MALAKAS Project back in 2020, yet she forgot who the main star of the project actually was. The cougar was clearly invested in it, ever since she was envious to see bodybuilder girls online, and so she partook in the project to become one as well. And suffice to say, her experience was just as much as most Recruits, albeit with few significant events she caused. She had a dozen of hostile encounters with several Super Soldier bullies, but proved to be a quick and eager fighter, being able to knock them down and continue her training uninterrupted. While this set up an example to discourage bullying, heck this was even officially endorsed by the project's higher-ups, this eventually backfired just a week after Vanessa's depature, as not only did the incidents of bullying jumped back up from the "all-time low", they also unveiled the biggest problem she carelessly caused. She did make her own following out of Recruits too timid to fight back yet willing to better themselves, but most of them were so blindly attracted to her so much that they ended following the worst side of her, to the point they ended up being the bullies they so wanted to fight back.

Such a turn of events afterwards had embarrassed the higher-ups so much that they demanded her name be wiped off from official records, and they did so with a harsh threat of immediate dishonorable discharge and erasure of more names who refused to cooperate. To make matters worse, the higher-ups were lucky enough to have supporters from other Recruits as well, mainly because they either regretted backing Vanessa up or couldn't stand more bullying coming from her loyal admirers. However, the last few admirers of Vanessa, among them including Martha, Lucilla, Rochelle and her daughter Judy, were the only ones to have both outgrown their blind love towards her and become critical of her, and yet remained loyal to and concerned for her, and they themselves had already been honorably discharged when the current tension was boiling through the roof. To top it all off, Lucilla and Rochelle were already known to be good friends with Vanessa, and they were the only ones to persuade her to come back to the mountain base and resolve the very issue. Because, should Vanessa be unable to do so, future consequences would be much harder and bigger than she could handle, and that would even affect those around her.

A week later, Lucilla, Rochelle and others managed to reach Vanessa who was just showing off to male beachgoers in Los Angeles. When they told her what actually happened after she left, Vanessa vouched to go back to teach her former followers a lesson, but there was a catch. An honorably or dishonorably discharged Recruits were not allowed to come back to the mountain base, except for certain holidays and events. Apparently, there were would be the upcoming Thanksgiving reunion in the next few months, and only honorably discharged Recruits were required to attend, but alongside the said event, they only had two days to remain in the mountain base, not that the cougar girl would care. None of the beachgoers were willing to accompany her, as they had more important things to do, but Sherman Fink, Vanessa's childhood friend, was eager to do it. Unfortunately, the lynx femboy didn't have enough money to sign up for the project, but Vanessa proved generous enough to give him funds. While neither Vanessa nor her friends and other few followers would be able to go back in for the long while, Sherman would have few months to stay in the mountain base in order to fulfill his training duty. Even Sherman considered this to be necessary, because they knew he would needed when things went wrong.

After another week, plus the successful sign-up into the project by Sherman, he was brought into the mountain base where he would be assisted by no one other than Timothy Soro, the project's main star himself, and Timothy also happened to be Vanessa's former instructor but was not amused to hear that she forgot about him, let alone his name. Despite things doing business as usual, tension remained high, and other Recruits were gradually catching on onto Sherman, who insisted he had no connections to either Vanessa or her colleagues. He was indeed told to deny such a claim, lest any enemy would figure out what Vanessa was up to. Not to mention, he even had to deal with a lot of Vanessa's former followers who tried to bully him. Regardless, his training went on as usual and planned, allowing him to continue until he succeeded as a Super Soldier with the Juggernaut ability. Vanessa and her friends would be more than happy to see him back in an incredibly new change.

But, they would have to worry about that later, because they had to attend the Thanksgiving reunion. Only Timothy and the project supervisor Christopher North knew Vanessa would come back, and were willing to back her up despite their dislike towards her actions, as long as she would be able to cut down the current tension she inadvertedly caused. In fact, there was more to unfold behind Vanessa's back, as the higher-ups demanded her name be wiped off from the guest list to the reunion as well, but Timothy personally approached Vanessa and her friends and directed them to the backdoor of the main venue of the event, while Chris stalled the higher-ups from even seeing any of them.

However, what neither Timothy nor Chris came to mind was that Vanessa had already created enemies and they were also on the reunion guest list. Expectedly, they noticed Vanessa and immediately ganged up on her and her friends. However, there were others who didn't ask for a petty fight and interfered both parties, but that caused the higher-ups to catch up and find out. Well, everyone else attended the site of the fight, allowing Sherman to sneak in unnoticed and find the way to force the higher-ups to back down from their ongoing plot, though he even had to fight off a couple of guards standing in his way. As the higher-ups were about to announce their public denouncement against Vanessa, Sherman had hacked his way into one higher-up's laptop and publicized their secret plot through the projector, which was for the higher-ups to not only tag her as "persona non grata" to the US State of California, but they could also persuade the US government to hunt her down on their behalf. After all, these higher-ups had political connections to begin with.

Among the crowd was the mayor of the city of Santo Tomas, Benjamin North, who was the project's only higher-up who often remained outside the internal affairs of the mountain base. Horrified by such a revelation behind his back, he demanded his fellow higher-ups to abort it immediately. Otherwise, not only would the US government seek to get their hands on the MALAKAS Project, but also would the other countries do so to pursue their own ambitions. Realizing how out of the focus they had been, without ever considering bigger consequences on their part, the higher-ups begrudgingly obliged, by deleting their secret plot, reluctantly apologizing to Vanessa for the said plot, and publicly praising her and her friends for their efforts to save the MALAKAS Project. Now too cowardly to confront Vanessa, the higher-ups instead gave Benjamin an angry whisper that he had made a big mistake, and left off the venue. Vanessa's other enemies, seeing the writing on the wall, left the venue as well.

On the next day, Vanessa and her friends were excited to go home on the bus, with their reputation remaining scandal-free, for now, but that was not as amazing as admiring Sherman's newly muscular body. And even then, their enemies from the mountain base still remained, they just had lost their will to seek revenge following the incident.
