MPC: Small Town Beginning Number: 117D Reward: Walls of dialog in Cyber Sleuth reduced drastically. Wait, that's not an option? Bits, please. Word Count: 1909 _______________
In Soviet Russia, bar jumps over you. Or so Americans say. If Yankees are what you seek, you will be disappointed here, comrade. Deep in heart of Motherland, there is small Siberian village. In village of Kartofel'nyygorod, or Kart for short because easier to spell and remember, there is young voman named Ravenna. She has big dreams of being famous track athlete like Soviets of old.
City of Kart is no place for aspiring athlete. There are two main industries: potato farming, and steam engine transportation. There are so many trains because most popular thing to do in Kart is leave. The heroine of this story works in the former. That's a female hero, don't try to inject Ravenna into your veins, foolish Americans. All day, Ravenna is out plowing Siberian tundra to harvest potatoes. Is hard to grow potatoes in soil with no nutrients covered in snow. Sometimes, Ravenna urinates in the field to melt snow and defrost potatoes. Is common practice among potato farmers in Kart.
Ravenna complains to her babushka how she works all day and never had anything exotic to eat. Babushka scolds her for having greater aspirations than potato urinator.
"Cyka Blyat, Ravenna! You should be happy that frostbite did not take your leg like your sister Helga. It is almost my turn to sit in village's one chair. I do not want to miss turn because of your complaining."
"But Babushka! I vant to be famous athlete like Natasha Klitschko and have my face on billboard. I vant to jump over bars and drive men crazy in tiny little black shorts with white stripes like in cartoon from Japan."
"Bah! Your generation so entitled. Kart only have one billboard, and it says, 'Now leaving Kart'. You need to be more realistic, Ravenna! Now eat your potato soup, fries, tater tots, and finish your vodka. I am off to sit."
Life not very pleasant for Ravenna, but it toughen her up. Everybody know Russians are super humans. While Ravenna may be bundled up in tattered rags, underneath is pure muscle and the vill of a varrior. I mean, will of a warrior. At night, Ravenna sleep on bed of dirt with only one blanket. Not like spoiled American princess with many blankets and pillows. These harsh conditions toughened up Ravenna's skin, and make her strong. A young voman Lenin and Stalin would be proud of.

One day, Ravenna was out working the fields when she came across a strangely colored potato. She thinks that maybe it is just icy and starts to urinate on it. It turns out that this potato is not a potato at all, but a strange mechanical device called a D-Tector. A bright light flashes from the device, surrounding Ravenna in a wave of violet energy.
Suddenly, Ravenna finds herself close to the ground. She looks down and sees two bird feet. She brings her hands to her face, but instead of her filthy peasant hands covered in dirt and snow, she sees two black bird wings. The device has turned her into a crow! Ravenna tries to fly, but it is difficult at first. She practices flying and learns that she possesses some unique abilities in this form.
Having very little, Ravenna decides to take advantage of this form. She flies over to a different area of Kart and spots some peasants farming. She sees a pile of potatoes collected by some smug women in the village. Ravenna caws, and a trio of crows are summoned. Ravenna caws at the women, creating a blast of psychic energy that knocks one of them back. The crows swam the women, causing them to panic.
After distracting the women, the crows start grabbing potatoes and flying away. They bring the potatoes back to Ravenna's home. The aspiring young athlete also collects the D-Tector. After a few trips, Ravenna has gathered far more than a day's worth of potatoes. Ravenna thanks her crow friends, and exhausted from flying, she transforms back into a human. Her babushka comes over and is very impressed with Ravenna's haul. Potatoes are nice, but Ravenna has bigger aspirations. If she is going to pursue her dreams of athletic superstardom, she's going to need to find some more valuable loot. She hears a train whistle, and an evil smirk crosses her face as she gets a naughty idea.

Transforming into a crow was certainly a unique experience for the rural Russian. Ravenna is not some spoiled college student living in a dirty dorm room, worried about tests and loser boyfriends. She is fast, intelligent, and resourceful, just like the mighty crow. Though as strange as her new powers may be, things were even more surreal than she thought.
After a few days of stealing potatoes, some of the villagers caught on that something was foul. As Ravenna and her flock of crows harass some peasants in the field, a trio of young men show up and begin to pelt rocks at the birds. One of Ravenna's crows is hit and takes off in fear. Seeing her comrade injured triggered something within Ravenna. A spiral of black and white energy spins around Ravenna in her crow form. She Spirit Evolves in a feathery transformation to Suzamon, the Psychic Soviet.
Clad in black leather, chains, and about a pound of feathers, Suzamon stands in defiance of the rock throwers. Even though they were kind of justified, as the crows were stealing food. That doesn't matter, because you have to fight to survive in the village of Kart.
"You filthy peasants are no match for my superior athleticism. Suffer!"
Suzamon dashes towards one of the men and elbows him in the face. The other two move in to strike, but Suzamon grabs one by the arm and hip tosses him into the other. The first man wipes some blood from his lips, then lands a punch to Suzamon's arm. Suzamon lands some strikes against two of the men, but then the third grabs her from behind in a bear hug.
The second man punches Suzamon in the stomach while she is restrained. The pain flows through her nerves in agony, and Suzamon lets out an ear-piercing scream. The three men are disoriented, and the man lets go of her. Suzamon drops down and lands a sweep kick, knocking the man off balance. She lands a palm strike to the second man, then slashes at the first and scratches his face. The men have had enough and take off running. Suzamon catches her breath as her adrenaline slowly starts to drop back down. She looks at her arms in astonishment, so caught up in the moment at first to fully appreciate this bizarre outfit she is wearing.
"That will teach them. Nobody messes with the Soviet Superwoman. BWAHRK!"
Suzamon covers her mouth in surprise and embarrassment as she involuntarily lets out a bird caw. She takes off into the skies with her crows to practice these newfound abilities.
Days later, there is a train going down the line out of town. It is carrying lots of coal and potatoes. Suddenly, the tracks up ahead switch. The train heads down a different path than planned. The conductor looks puzzled. A crow flies into the cab. The conductor appears frustrated.
"First the switch, and now this? Get out of here, you feathered pest."
The crow looks at the conductor with a tilt of the head. Suddenly, the crow caws and lets out a psychic energy blast that sends the conductor flying into the door of the smoke box. The conductor collapses to the floor as his back fills with pain from being slammed against the metal. The crow transforms into Suzamon, and she picks the conductor up in her arms.
"This is your stop. Thank you for riding the Ravenna Express. Wait, I probably shouldn't be saying my name out loud while I'm robbing a train."
Suzamon jumps out of the cab and slides down the slide of a rocky hill. She sets the conductor down, then flies after the train to return to the cab. One of her crow lackeys flips a switch up ahead that sends the train down another route back into Kart. A group of gopniks are squatting and dancing to hardbass at an old abandoned station. They line up to start unloading the goods from the train into wheelbarrows.
If Ravenna was going to truly exploit her powers for profit, she needed bigger lackeys than some crows. She managed to impress some of her more trusted friends with her powers, and had become the ringleader of a gopnik gang. The village of Kart is ripe for Ravenna and her lackeys to take what they want, and soon, their influence would stretch out into the world.

Over the next few weeks, Ravenna and her gang of stomping gopniks terrorize the railways. They hijack freight and extort passenger trains for profit. Eventually, the railroads have had enough. The railroads are sold off to Ravenna, and she monopolizes the railways in the village of Kart. It soon becomes a hub in the area, as Ravenna continues her vile business tactics from town to town.
Through sheer terror, Ravenna has become one of the largest railroad tycoons in Russian history. She renovates the train station and constructs a massive billboard with her likeness. Babushka is most impressed. She greenlights plans to build more and more tracks, creating jobs in the village. Young workers come from near and far seeking employment. All in the area know the terrifying baroness of the railways.
Using her wealth, Ravenna constructs a private training facility. While her loyal lackeys operate the stations and her employees build the new lines, Ravenna trains in preparation for a huge track and field event. She runs through the icy fields and jumps over buckets of potatoes. She works out in her training facility and even has a private chef to serve the finest potato recipes. Ravenna had seized opportunity and taken life by the horns.
Upon hearing of a major track event, Ravenna uses her wealth and connections to bribe her way onto the Russian track team. However, due to the war, I mean, uhh, 'special operation', the western world would not let soviets compete. Typical, as they are intimidated by their mighty muscles. The track event is to be filled with soviet athletes to determine the best athletes in all the motherland. Ravenna is eager to prove herself.
Ravenna steps onto the field as thousands of proud soviets cheer. This is her moment. She dominates the long jump, soars to victory securing gold in the hurdles, helps her team win the relay, and sets a new record at the high jump. Ravenna stands proud with several gold medals hanging from her neck. The fans cheer on as Ravenna salutes the crowd. The Soviet March plays in the background as a parade of soldiers march behind her.
The young athlete has risen from potato farmer to a national icon. Millions of young men swoon over her milky thighs and tight little black shorts. Ravenna has become a symbol for Russian athleticism and her likeness is included in many images of propaganda. The gopniks back home in Kart cheer and stomp their feet as hardbass blasts throughout the village. Branded Lenin's favorite daughter, she returns home to the now industrialized Kart to live as their queen.
"Glory to Kart! Glory to mother Russia. BWAHRK!"
