A/n: Feel free to look up what Mery is saying in spanish. Also there will be two parts of this episode. Enjoy!
____________________________________________________________________________
It was nighttime, Mery was at Jim's house. She was sitting on the steps as Jim and Toby got to the house, either of them noticing Mery's presence.
Jim: Eight hours! I can't believe it takes eight hours.
Toby: Two molars, plus insertions, and some cleanup.
Jim: Okay, Tobes. You are never going to believe this.
Mery's eyes widened as she realized what Jim was going to do.
Mery: ¡Este idiota! ( She said silently under her breath )
Toby: My mouth still feels sore.
Jim: Check this out.
Toby: Do you have any aspirin?
Jim: Tobes, pay attention.
Toby: Mmm.
Jim takes the amulet out. Mery had her hands on her head with stress.
Jim: For the Glory of Merlin, Daylight is mine to-
Jim was interrupted by Toby using the microwave.
Toby: Go on.
Jim: It worked last night.
Toby: Are you punking me right now?
Jim: Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait.
The amulet activates and equips the trollhunter armor on Jim.
Toby: Holy champignon!
Mery: ( Whispers to self: ) ¡Voy a matarlo!
Jim: Oh-ho-ho-ho! How cool is that?
Toby: What? Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! So cool, so cool, so cool! Dude, you know what this means, right? You have a sacred responsibility here.
Jim: That's what they said!
Toby: Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my- You have to use these new powers for the benefit of all mankind. You have to use this to kick Steve's butt.
Mery's eye twitches as she was glaring at the two boys, who still hadn't noticed her.
Jim: Really? I show you a glowing sword and a suit of armor that can only be magic, and that's how you respond?
Toby: Seriously! It's butt-kicking time!
Toby attempts to do a karate kick.
Toby: These pants are so elastic. Wait also, who's "they"?
Jim: Well, that's the part that I've been freaking out over! One of them, that I think is kinda tamed, is supposed to come over, but I don't think she's here yet.
Toby: She?
Mery: ( To Jim : ) ¡¿Me estás tomando el pelo?!
Jim and Toby were startled and turned to see a pissed Mery at the stairs.
Mery: ( to Jim: ) ¡¿Le dijiste?! ¡Debería rascarte ahora mismo!
Toby: ( whispers to Jim: ) What is she saying? And why is she mad at you?
There's knocking at the back door and Blinky peers in. Mery started angerly walking to the door.
Toby: Wh- What- what the heck is that?! Miss, don't open the door!-
Mery: ( To Toby: ) ¡Cállate la boca!
Mery opens the door, with rage in her eyes.
Blinky: Aha, Master Jim!- ( sees Mery's anger ) Oh. What happened?
Mery angerly gestures to Toby, who's freaking out.
Toby: AH! I'm calling 911!
Aaarrrgh attempts to enter. Mery tuned everything out, due to her trying to contain her anger as Blinky and Aaarrrgh told Jim that they were spying on him, but Mery couldn't hold it any longer as Animal Control hanged up on Toby.
Mery: ( To Blinky, pointing at Jim: ) This son of a perra told his friend about the amulet! Blinky, explain to him why that was a bad move before I go feral!
Blinky: ( to Jim: ) You told your stout little friend about us?
Jim: Umm, I'm guessing that is a problem, judging by the angry red head.
Blinky: Master Jim, we trolls and fox-cat shapeshifters have gone to great lengths to keep our existence secret from your kind, lest there be panic.
Toby: Oh, my gosh, Oh, my gosh, Oh, my gosh, Oh, my gosh.
Mery: Like that, you estúpida.
Jim: It's all right, Tobes.
Toby: They're like nine feet tall. And I'm pretty sure that girl threatened us.
Mery: ( to Toby: ) I only threatened the cabrón that told you about us, idiota.
Jim: This is my best friend, Toby D.
Toby: He has like 800 eyes.-
Mery: No, he only has 6 eyes.
Toby: We're going to die.
Blinky: ( To Toby: ) Hardly. Your friend is the Trollhunter. His noble obligation is protective.
Toby: Like " protecting"... You mean like a superhero? Oh, can I be his sidekick? With a cool superhero name like Deathblade or Snipersnake? Just wait. Who would I be protecting? ( He asked while sitting on the kitchen counter )
Mery: ( confused ) A super-what? And a side-what?
Aaarrrgh: Us.
Blinky: And mankind. From bad trolls... As well as goblins, gruesomes, the occasional rogue gnome, and sometimes a Fox-Cat fight.
Toby was tapping Blinky with a large spoon.
Blinky: Do you mind?
Toby drops the spoon, Mery picked it up and snapped it in half before she tossed it into the living room.
Jim: ( to Mery: ) Really?
Mery gave Jim a warning glare, then turned into a Fox-Cat and showed Jim her razor-sharp claws, causing him to gulp in fear.
Blinky: The mantle of Trollhunter is a sacred responsibility, one which has never been passed to a human before. This is a momentous occasion.
They hear a car pull onto the driveway.
Jim: Oh- it's my mother! Upstairs, quick!
Mery quickly went to the stairs, due to her size she struggled with going upstairs just as quickly.
Aaarrrgh: Mother?
Jim picked Mery up and they all run up the stairs, and hide in the bathroom, and locked the door.
Mery: Jim, if you don't put me down I will scratch you, this is humiliating.
Jim: Right, sorry.
As Jim put Mery down on the ground, Aaarrrgh made a loud thud which alerted Barbara's attention. Mery sat down with her tail tucked.
Barbara: Jim? It's me!
Jim: ( whispering: ) She's not supposed to be home til midnight!
Aaarrrgh: ( sniffs Toby ) Mmm... You smell like cat.
Toby: My nana has a Siamese.
Aaarrrgh: Tasty.
Mery: Aaarrrgh, not when there's a fox-cat shapeshifter in the room.
Aaarrrgh: Sorry.
Barbara: I forgot my phone. Are you okay in there?
Jim: Um, I'm fine. I mean, my stomach's a little, uh.
Toby starts plumbing the toilet. Mery stayed silent.
Jim: Uh, you know, I might have a food poisoning situation.
Barbara: Honey, I'll get you some medicine, okay?
The amulet starts to glow. Mery's eyes widened as she was mentally screaming for the amulet to stop glowing.
Jim: ( To Blinky: ) Okay, what's this going on here?
Blinky: The amulet reacts to your emotional state. You appear to be in some distress.
Jim: You think?
Toby: I have another question.
Blinky: Speak, Theodore.
Toby: It's Toby, actually. Or Tobias. If Jim's the first human Trollhunter, like you said, then who or what was the Trollhunter before him?
Mery's expression saddens and she lowered her head.
Blinky: The glorious mantle has been passed from troll to troll for hundreds of years.
Jim: So, the previous Trollhunter, what, retired?
Aaarrrgh: Was felled.
Jim: Felled?
Mery: It means... It means killed... ( She said sadly and avoiding eye contact )
Blinky: Turned to stone and smashed. Kanjigar the Courageous was his name. Brutally slain by a ruthless troll named Bular.
Toby: Don't worry, dude. This Bular guy probably just got lucky.
Mery glared at Toby, as her tail fizzed.
Blinky: The evidence does not suggest that. Bular is a formidable opponent.
Jim: Then the other guy, he was just off his game or something, right?
Blinky: Doubtful. Kanjigar was perhaps the most alert and able of all the Trollhunters.
Jim: But not the best, I'm betting.
Blinky: Oh, the very best. Many songs and sagas have been written about him.
Toby: Uh, I think what my friend here is a little worried about is, if this-
Aaarrrgh: Bular.
Toby: Yeah, I got it. If Bular could defeat Kanjigar...
Aaarrrgh: Smash to pieces.
Toby: Then what's going to happen to Jim?
Blinky: A most appropriate, if troubling query, Tom-
Toby glared at Blinky for getting his name wrong.
Blinky: Tobias! Of course, we would never expect Master Jim to engage in battle without the proper training.
Toby: See! Nothing to worry about. Now how long does the training normally take?
Blinky: Oh...
Blinky starts counting all of his fingers of all four of his hands.
Blinky: Decades.
Jim: And... how long do I have?
Blinky: A day or two.
Aaarrrgh made the " so so " hand gesture, while Mery had a smile on her face with her arms crossed.
Mery: I made a bet with my brothers, if you live or not. I betted that you would live.
Mery, Toby, and the trolls then stopped talking when they heard Barbara's from outside the door.
Barbara: Jim? I have medicine and ginger ale. Come on out!
Mery tuned everything out once again as she turned into a Fox-Cat, climbed up the shower curtains without making a sound, and then she jumped on the ceiling light and held on with all four of her paws. Jim manged to deactivate the amulet, then he sees Mery on the ceiling light.
Jim: ( whisper shouted: ) How?!
Jim then had the others hide in the shower.
Barbara: I'm coming in.
Jim then opened the door and left the bathroom.
Jim: Whew. See, all good!
Barbara: Huh.
When Jim and Barbara walked away from the bathroom, Mery let out a silent sigh of relief.
Toby: ( whispering: ) Stop sniffing me giant troll dude!
Aaarrrgh: Smell like cat.
Mery: ( whispers to Toby and the two trolls: ) Shush. Don't make me come down there!
( Slight Time skip )
Barbara then leaves in her car. They all go downstairs. Mery turned back into a human. Aaarrrgh accidentally knocked things over.
Aaarrrgh: Your cave too small.
Mery: I agree with Aaarrrgh. This den is too small and it looks funny. ( She said as she was looking around )
Blinky: So Master Jim, are you ready? We should begin your training, immediately!
Jim: Uh, it's a school night.
Mery: ¿eh?
Blinky: I assure you the relevance escapes me.
Jim: I'm fifteen. I have to stay home and study, and stuff-
Blinky and Jim heard something falling, and saw that Mery was a Fox-Cat and was on the counter. She had knocked a spoon off the counter like a cat.
Jim: ( choosing to not question Mery's behavior ) Do homework?! I can't be out y'know Trollhunting?
Blinky: . . . Because?
Jim: Well the whole getting killed by a vicious troll named Bular might be a deal breaker!
Mery: Meh. ( She stated as she starts to move a fork off the counter with a blank expression )
Jim: ( to Mery: ) Can you not do that?
Mery looked at Jim straight in the eyes, as she knocked the fork off the counter with her paw with a blank expression. Toby then points at Aaarrrgh as he was feeding him VHS tapes.
Toby: Dude, he eats VHS's!
Blinky: Deal breaker?
Jim: I don't want to die!
Blinky: Goodness gracious, who does!
Mery slowly raised her paw with a smile.
Blinky: Mery, lower your paw, it's not funny. ( He said blankly )
Mery puts her paw down with a chuckle. Jim takes off the amulet and tries to give it to Blinky, which caused Mery's ears to flatten back on her head.
Jim: Maybe you take this back.
Blinky doesn't accept and pushed it back to Jim.
Blinky: The amulet called to you, Master Jim. It choose you. It is your-
Jim: Please don't say destiny.
Blinky: Sacred obligation!
Jim: Or that.
Mery then turned back into a human and walked to Jim with a calm expression.
Mery: Jim, you cannot refuse it, you cannot give it back.
Blinky: It is yours until you die.
Jim: And I would like to get a little further past puberty before that happens!
Blinky: Master Jim, you are now responsible for the protection of three worlds, the human, shapeshifter, and troll alike. If you do not keep the balance, evil trolls like Bular will come into yours and wreck havoc!
Jim: You're saying this " Bular " could hurt people?
Aaarrrgh: Like you.
Mery: Not just hurt. He might even kil-
Blinky: ( to Aaarrrgh and Mery: ) Not helping!
Jim: What are they talking about?
Blinky: With the amulet now in your possession, Bular will seek you out, and you will face him one way or another.
Toby: Maybe what Jim needs is a little time to process all of this Y'know, you laid a lot of heavy stuff on him tonight.
Mery: No we didn't, we didn't put any heavy objects on him at all. ( She said with her arms crossed, not understanding what Toby meant by laying a lot of heavy stuff on Jim )
Blinky: ( to Mery: ) He doesn't mean literally, Mery. ( Turns to Toby and Jim ) Fine, fine. We shall return tomorrow then, to begin your training!
Mery: ( to Jim and Toby: ) And I'll be seeing you two at school. Until then, I need to get back to my brothers. ( She said with a smile )
Toby: Awesome-sauce!
Mery: ( looks at Toby, confused ) ¿eh?
Toby: We might need to teach you about how to be a human.
Mery: Actually, I am half human, on my father side.
Mery left the house through the backdoor, and made a running start before she jumped the garden fence, doing a flip in midair before landing on the other side on her feet. Mery watched as Blinky and Aaarrrgh noisily climbed over the fence.
Blinky: That went well. Mery, please try to encourage Master Jim to accepting his duty as the Trollhunter.
Aaarrrgh: Encourage Master Jim.
Mery: Don't worry, you two. If I can encourage Pedro to not roll into glowing algae, I can encourage anyone. ( She said with confidence )
( Time skip, at Trollmarket )
Mery got home and was greeted by her brother, Pedro.
Pedro: Heya, Sis! How ya doing?
Mery: I'm doing okay.. where's Alejandro and Mateo?
Pedro: They're with Draal.
Mery: Listen, Pedro. I, uh, I did something...
Pedro: Yeah, yesterday you gave everyone the news about Kanjigar and you were probably trying to avoid Alejandro all day-
Mery: No. Tomorrow I'm going to go to.. the high school, with the other human teens... ( She said nervously )
Pedro: What?! Are you crazy?! Listen, I know that in some cases of grief, people make some changes in their lives, but this?! Mery, humans can't know about our existence! ( He said with panic )
Mery: No one will know! I'm just going to keep an eye on the new Trollhunter. Plus, I always wanted to learn about the other half of us. Please, Pedro, I just want to have a break from here...
Pedro was hesitant at first, but then he realized that it might be a good idea for Mery to have a break from being in Trollmarket all day.
Pedro: Alright, but! You have to be careful, you may be almost completely indestructible, but you bruise easily and you have to make sure that no one knows about what you are. The last thing we need is to imagine some human dissecting you for science!
Mery: Yes! Thank you, Pedro! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Pedro: And stay clear from human boys staring at you. In human terms, gingers with blue eyes and freckles are rare and I don't want someone hitting on you, until you find your soulmate so they can protect you. ( He said with a serious expression )
Mery: Again with the soulmate thing?
Pedro: What? You never know when love will come at ya and capture you or hit you with a rock, in the face. ( He said with a smile )
Mery: ( To Pedro, with a serious expression ) Pedro, that how you and and Scarlett met, isn't exactly the best example right?
Pedro: It isn't? ( He said with a raised eyebrow )
( Meanwhile with the bad guys )
Bular and Strickler were talking to a tall teenage boy with gray eyes and a scar over his right eye.
Bular: Remember your mission, get close to the new Trollhunter and give us information on how to get me the amulet.
Strickler: Do you understand your mission, Blake? Or should I say, nephew. ( He said with a smile )
Blake: Yes. I will not fail my mission.
