“Now let the fight commence,” announced Candyce, who then started playing La Campanella on her violin.
Just as Karu and Karde broke free of their earlier restraints and were about to sneak up on stage and detonate The King and throw cards respectively, new strings caught their wrists and yanked them apart as far as humanly possible. But was Laurellia satisfied yet?
“Ohhhh rightttt! So that’s what I’ve forgotten! Knew I missed something. So here’s my power, listen closely, cuz my power’s incredible! Just like our music! All Strings Attached! Gives you puppet strings and I can control you just like… this!” She flicked her baton and the girls’ fingers got strings attached to them and immediately spread apart like a bird in the sky. “Hahah! Can’t get your cards to cut it now, can you?”
Then, Piper starts playing Kyoufuu All Back using her recorder and rats start flying towards Ryla and Runice.
“Ugh! Why are you doing this?” Ryla asked in frustration.
“We’re the antagonists in your story! Why would we not? You’re basically asking why water is wet!” Laurellia jeered.
“But I styled my hair so nicely today! Not only are you guys ruining it with wind, you’re also sending those gross creatures at me!”
“Styled your hair nicely? For who, may I ask? Veretis?”
“DON’T YOU DARE BRING THAT UP!”
“That? Shouldn’t it be… him? I thought your language skills were great, according to Ver at least. What a pity that you never talk to people unless they are your online friends or your enemies! Ah! Such a shame! You even met most of your heroes online!”
“Just shut up! And you aren’t supposed to know anything about me or that guy!”
Before anyone could utter a single syllable, a card was thrown straight at Laurellia, flying by Ryla’s face and missed her by just a hair.
“Ohhhhh! So I see you’ve broken free!” Exclaimed Laurellia.
She dodged it, blew a raspberry at her, taunting her failure. But the attacks didn’t stop. The cards continued to shoot at her. She managed to avoid all of them simply by walking around. But then, a bomb exploded next to her and slightly burned her arm like a barbecue pork.
“Uhm… sorry for that. But it was my job to. I broke free with my strength and helped her with it too. And uhm… you got distracted,” Karu said, then showed her a king chess piece.
BOOM! There was another explosion. The chess piece was gone and there was nothing but smoke left.
“Cough! Cough! Cough! Those bombs I swear!”
At the same time, Ryla and Runice were fighting Piper and her power-summoned rats. Ryla used her power to check the rats’ directions and told Runice where to dodge and get closer to Piper. But after 5 minutes, they were already tired from it and hid behind some chairs.
“Let’s leave. They’re no good,” commanded Candyce.
“Nu-uh! Those two were good. Karu and Karde, I mean. They even surprised me a little! Kerena can you please heal my arm later?” Laurellia spoke.
“Alright. Let’s still leave. I’m getting bored from this… meeting. I didn’t even need to touch my violin just for Piper to defeated that “leader”. What a joke.”
Saying that, the FREEDOM ORCHESTRA woke Aeryl up and left together.
