Music please~

Triss' Point of View.

Seriously.

Ugh, cruuud.

Why does Niki have to smile creepily like that?! I prefer Erin's smiling then hers.

"Hello, my lovelies! Today, you'll be fighting me, and my be loved puppets! Except,it's not you guys anymore! It's someone else!"

4 girls came out in sight.

The first one have long wavy dark blue hair with dark sweater and black skirt with a red circle in the centre.

The second one had long dark purpleish hair with a eye patch on her left eye, she also had green, and white clothing? Technically can't describe it.

Third one had orange hair with two pigtails on the side, she had a black coat with a yellow shirt on the inside.

And lastly, a girl with blonde hair was wearing a bun, have red clothes....

"Their names is most likely similar to yours, but whatever."

Teresse.
Evelyn.
Megan.
Amy.

Wow, Triss and Teresse, very similar.

Maybe it's the opposite personalities of us? Looks like it. Since Evelyn looks dumb while Megan looks determined.

But Erin is smart while Meg is lazy.

Look at the freaking difference!

I just sighed.

"So, Hello?"I tried greeting. Nope, doesn't work.

" They don't talk, dummies."

"Hey, why are you calling us dummies?!" Styx shouted angrily. "You are the dummy here because you just made puppets that is the exact opposite of them!"

Styx defended us? Wow. That's new.

Alex just scoffed. "Well, then, let's fight now!"

"Don't think that I could be beaten easily."

All of the four girls attacked us suddenly.

Teresse attacked me.
Evelyn attacked Erin.
Megan attacked Meg.
And Amy attacked Alex.

I protected myself with my shield, while Teresse continuously attacks me with a blade.

Her wavy hair is disturbing.

"Ugh, what's the big deal with these puppets?!" I said, annoyed. "It would be a miracle if could hit this in one blow. . .

The puppet continued attacking me fast. Is she an assassin?

I tried protecting and dodging, but few of her slashes accidentally hit my cheek; dang was it painful.

I grabbed my bleeding cheek and tried to defend myself instead, by defending and shouting.

The puppet attacked continuously with its blade, making me have injuries in my hand, my face, and in my legs.

"It hurts. . " I say. "Stop. . "

I kept on shouting, to avoid threat from her, but nothing worked.

Nothing worked.

Past, Evening.

"Hey, Triss, do you have cold feet?"

"No, why are you asking?"

"Nah, Just asking. ."

I stayed quiet for a second.

"Y'know what Alex? No, I don't have cold feet anymore, before, I was afraid making the wrong decisions. This whole journey of ours has something felt like one mistake after the next."

Ever since then I told Alex that time, I felt, satisfied, to let go my inner thoughts to someone.

I went back to reality, and somehow, my attacks went up, turned strong; mentally and physically .

Well, this is a goodbye, Teresse.

Just I was about to hit, I heard something.

"It was nice meeting you, Triss, the Sentinel."

All was left was ashes and dust.

"That settles it, huh?"

I just smiled to myself and turned around. I could see everyone beaten the other puppets to death.

"Mrgh! Why, does it have to be you, to destroy my puppets?!"

"That was a great fight, Niki!" I exclaimed. "But still, your puppets have feelings too, y'know?"

Niki's eyes turned wide in surprise.

"Oh, Okay. . a well, I'll be going now my lovelies!Until next time~" She said whole the mini stage disappeared, she disappeared, and the auditorium vanished. We were now just at a greeny grass field.

"Finally! I could go relax with my puppets now!"

Somehow, I just sip my tea and spoke to her.

"Styx, thanks for defending us a while ago." I said with a warm smile.

Her face, it's turning red as ever, she looks to the other way.

"W-Well, don't get the wrong idea you fools!"

Erin chuckled. "Well, where are you heading next?"

"Back. . to the Nexus. ." she said with a gloomy, sad face and expression while she put both of her hands in her back.

"Aw, that sucks." Alex said. "You will stay there alone again?"

"You could stay with us if you want. " I offered. "Not like your gonna be part of us, but you can stay."

She shook her head. "No, thank you, Furies. I still gotta to my things."

I nodded slowly. "Okay.?"

Then, she slowly walks away from us. .

But, she tilted her head to us, and waved her hands.

"T-Thank you! And Goodbye!" She said while running away.

She sure reminds me of someone. . .

I turned back seeing Erin, Alex,Meg,and Kennedy smiling.

"Let's go, shall we?"
