In the Hero's forge, a machine quickly turned, releasing fire from the sides towards the Trollhunter. With ease, Jim rolled from the fire but in the path of sharp objects. He twisted his sword, blocking every piece of flying sharp objects. He ran around Blinky who tutored him from the side, Jim still managing to block the weapons.

Blinky: Always be afraid. Fear heightens your senses. Fear keeps you alive.

Feeling accomplished, Jim stood proudly with his sword, that was until a silver ball had knocked Jim off his feet. Mery chuckled as a Fox-cat and she was on the side with Blinky.

Mery: Arrogance gets you killed.

Jim: ( groans ) Yeah, I'll have to remember that.

Blinky lifted Jim off the ground, placing him back on his feet and shoving the boy gently forward.

Blinky: Draal, however, does not fear you. That will be his weakness, but not you. You'll be wetting your armor. That will be  your strength.

Jim raises his sword, moving forward with each swing, once again blocking each blow. As Jim moved across the camera, Toby and Aaarrrgghh watched behind, well, Toby wore an excercise suit, squatting with a bit of pressure. Mery rolled her eyes at Toby.

Toby: Oh, yeah. Looking good, Jimbo. Feel the burn!-

Mery: Nobody is on fire, Toby.

Toby: It's an expression, Mery. If Jim's getting fit, I'm getting fit.

Toby holds up the tracker for Aaarrrgghh and Mery to see, the little machine beeping on Toby's wrist.

Toby: Don't want to be too big.

Aaarrrgghh moans, thinking that he wasn't in good shape but Toby quickly corrected himself after hearing his troll friend's distress.

Toby: Not that there's anything wrong with being big. But if I'm gonna have Jim's back, I gotta be nimble.

Mery rolled her eyes again, turning her focus back to Jim as he trained. Jim slashed through each stone figure, slicing them into many pieces. Another mechanical figure popped up with a surprise, sharp metal spears were blown from the holes in the machine as Jim easily stopped them in their warpath.

Jim: You know, I think being afraid is the one rule that I- Oh!

Jim ducks in panic, more metal spears fly over his head, stabbing another training machine, fire lighting it instantly. Jim stands with a chuckle and points at the machine with his sword.

Jim: ( chuckles )-I excel at.

Blinky: No, Master Jim. You must excel at all three. If trolls are ever going to embrace you as Trollhunter, you must ignore your humanly instincts.

Jim listened closely to his mentor but his attention was suddenly focused on another machine that had stood and prepared its weapons. Before it could take down its target, Jim threw his sword, the metal slicing easily through the rock.

Blinky: Do that, and I have no doubt you will defeat Draal.

Mery: Or Alejandro. If it ever comes to that.

Mery then see Alejandro with Draal and two other trolls, walking through the training arena.

Draal: ( laughing ) Look it's training.

Alejandro: ( growls ) Cute. And sad.

They walked through the room, speaking in troll.

Mery: ( to Jim: ) Let your fear keep you alive. Let his arrogance lead him astray.

Blinky: Defeat him and you'll make history.

( Cut to the museum )

Mery and Blake stood beside Jim and Toby with a bored expressions with the group of students on the museum steps.

Ms. Nomura: I know contemporary media might lead you to believe European history is full of swords, sorcery, and scandal. I assure you, the truth is far more interesting, and there's no better place to start than Renaissance Era pottery.

Everyone sighs with boredom while Eli gasped in wonder.

Mery: ( under her breath, but the three boys still heard her: ) Dispárame en la cabeza ahora.

Strickler hadn't missed the faces of his students, so he decided to speak up.

Strickler: Since we have limited time, Ms. Nomura, perhaps it's best if they explore the museum on their own. Don't you think?

With no hesitation, the class runs off in different directions. Everyone leaves the two grown ups, invading the museum. The group walked through the halls, Jim and Toby following behind while Mery and Blake were looking at a painting, as Mery took interest of it. It was a painting of a Fox-cat with pure black fur and blood red eyes standing on cliff in the moonlight, the Fox-cat in the painting was showing its fangs with an cold glare.

Mery: I wonder what made it so mad...

Blake: Maybe something was a threat to it... Like a hunter or something...

Mery: Yeah, that makes sense.

( Cut to later at night )

Mery was a Fox-cat and walking around the streets to be alone with her thoughts, she then saw that Toby, Jim, Blinky, and Aaarrrgghh were being chased by Goblins.

Mery: ( gasps ) Guys! What did they do-

As she was about to start running after the goblins to try to help her friends, a slim Fox-cat with gray eyes, jet black fur, and a scar over their right eye, came out of nowhere and pushed Mery into an alleyway and growled at her.

Mery: ( to the Fox-cat: ) Hey, I don't know who you are, but you don't want to mess with me. So, move it.

Mery tried to leave the alleyway, but the jet black Fox-cat blocked her way and hissed at her.

Mery: Alright. You're preventing me from helping my friends, that means, you are going to feel a lot of pain.

Mery then pounced at Jet black Fox-cat with her claws out.

( Cut to Toby's house, after Blinky and Aaarrrgghh found Chompsky in the Dollhouse )

Mery was still a Fox-cat and she managed to climb her way up to Toby's window, without the goblins seeing her, she had multiple small claw wounds on her. She scratched at the window, when Blinky stepped to Jim.

Blinky: ( sees Mery at the window )  Great Gronka Morka! Mery!

Toby and Jim looked at the window and saw Mery, who meowed and scratched at the window again wanting to be let in. Toby quickly opened the window and she walked in.

Jim: ( worried: ) What happened to you, Mery?

Toby: Was this ( gestures to the claw wounds on Mery ) the goblins?

Mery: No. I just had gotten into Fox-cat fight earlier, you should see the other guy. I'm fine- ( sees the gnome in the Dollhouse ) . . . Why is the gnome still alive? You know what, I don't want to know.

Blinky placed a comforting hand on Jim's shoulder and leads Jim to the bed to sit down.

Blinky: ( to Jim: ) As your trainer, I can only advise, not make your decisions. I understand. You're human.  You're learning the rules in your own way. Aaarrrgghh and I will seek out this den, wherever it may be. You and Mery must focus on your studies. It seems life has thrown enough at you for one day. But a gnome in a dollhouse?!

Mery: ( to Toby and Jim: ) Is there a first aid kit? Because I'm about to pass out from blood lo-

Mery passes out and falls face first to the ground. Toby, Jim, Blinky, and Aaarrrgghh looked in shock.

Blinky: We'll...take her home.

( Slight time skip, At the Frágil's home )

Mery was a human and Pedro was helping her bandage her wounds, with a knowing expression.

Pedro: Usually, Mery, you're the one doing the bandaging and me or Mateo are the ones that need bandaging. Oh, how the tables turned.

Mery: You should've seen the other guy.

Pedro: Oh no doubt, you beat their tail, you are Mom's kid.

( With Blake )

Blake was a human and was bandaging the large scratch and bite wounds on his arms in his bathroom, while his upper torso was bandaged up and he had a bandage on his left cheek.

Blake: Note to self, keep a first aid kit nearby in battle in case mi rosa is there. Gosh damnit, she's a lot stronger than she looks.
