Hellgirl: Rise of Hellion

Description

Homeless teen runway, Nicki never lost her compassion. This results in her getting dragged into a human trafficking sting operation, that goes horribly wrong, resulting in the loss of her legs. She awakens in a secret military hospital. Her wounds had been bandaged but she also had a roommate, Tony. The young man is also recovering from a traumatic injury and does not want to talk until the room starts to drop team puzzles from the ceiling. Someone wanted them to be partners.

Nicki is introduced to Axel, a high-ranking military leader who seemed to represent the good guys. But then he revealed the fate of the girl Nicki had considered a friend, Anya. He told her Anya was a double agent and would be sentenced as such. However, Nicki, with her new prosthetic legs was invited to train as Tony’s partner and friend. This lasts for a few days before she gets grabbed by Anya and her new ally Baron. Flying off to meet an all-new leader, Nicki falls asleep dreams of a very familiar-looking man.

Arriving in Siberia, Nicki is put to work as a guard, meeting a freak show cast of criminals from around the world. The crew takes her in as a little sister. Nicki’s attention is drawn to Noah (a hacker with a mind of an artist and the body of a pro-wrestler.) The night ends with a drunken encounter resulting in Nicki and Anya fleeing to Canada in a borrowed plane.

Crash landing in Oregon, Nicki, and Anya hitchhike north. They become separated, with Nicki reuniting with Axel and Tony, heading to Vancouver. Nicki learns of Noah’s history with Axel; he was a genius who went rogue, but Axel always considered him a friend. This helps Nicki’s emotional state when she finds that she’s pregnant with Noah’s child.
