There are wonders that not even the world of twisted wonderland can explain, the first being the strange happenings in the ramshackle building, and the 7 new students which appear out of a carriage along with a mysterious cat, and more strange event...
Five of the Seven girls were at the dorm looking at each other.
"Where's Shizu and Yuri?" Komi asked while sitting down on the settee with Cardia asleep on her lap.
"Not a clue" Sakura said filing down her nails, next to a sleeping Makoto and Nanami.
"That's strange they should be back by now?" Komi asked, worry was starting to set in.
"I'm sure they're fine, they can protect themselves." Sakura said looking satisfied at her nails.
"I know they can but....I just got this strange feeling like something bad is going to happen." Komi said while stroking Cardia head. Sakura sighs and finally looks Komi in the eyes.
Sakura sighed, "They'll be fine, but now that you mention it... there is a weird feeling I sensed it back at my dorm." Komi looked at Sakura
"Me to" the duo's eyebrows furrowed as they looked at their sleeping friends and sister. Komi looked out the window, up at the moon.
"It's almost like back then..." Sakura nods at Komi who's mind was replaying an old memory. Usually Sakura is the most talkative and sassy person in the room so she can cheer people up. But tonight everything in the world felt stale and hollow.

(Back at high ho land, aka dwarf mine.)
Everyone was in position outside the cave so Shizuoka gave the signal to Grim to begin.
"H-hey monster! I'm, uh.....I-I'm over here!" Grim yelled into the cave and the ground began to shake.
"Grrraawwwwrrr! BEGOOOOONE!" The creature yelled emerging from the cave like some hungry animal who just found food.
"He's comin' our way Shizu!" Grim yelled running past her with the beast on his tail into the woods. Shizuoka nods slowly as her chains started to emerge from her knuckles, she shot them in front of the cave so the creature can't get back in.
"Now!" She yelled to Ace for the next part of the plan.
"You bet. I got this! One extra large gust of wind comin' right up!" Ace yelled, then a huge gust of wind surrounded the creature and Grim piped up.
"With a side of Grim's blazin'- hot fire MYAAAA!!" Blue flames surrounded the creature as well because of the wind Ace created it fed the fire more making the flame more fierce.
"How's that taste?! With my winds fanning them, even Grim's feeble flames can become an inferno" Ace said half complementing Grim. Shizuoka chains wrapped around the trees and surrounded the monster, a bead of sweat made it down her forehead both of her arms were holding up the chain to keep them strong. She then looked to Deuce who in turn looked at her and she nodded signalling him to start.
"Get em' cauldron!" A huge black cauldron materialised and fell from the sky onto the creature's head, the glass which held the blot smashed and the creature moved no more.
"Nailed it! The plan's worked'! Look Shizu-" Grim turned with a smile on his face to Shizuoka but that soon turned to shock.
"Gahhh!" Shizuoka was on the ground sweat covering her forehead, she was hugging herself face pale, a shaking Grim immediately ran over to her.
"You okay Shizu?!" Her breathing was laboured but as soon as Grim came into view she shook her head trying to rid her body of this weakness, and looked to Grim.
"I-I'm fine just a bit too much magic for one day." She said between breaths, she slowly got to her feet shakily. Ace and Deuce looked at her in worry. "You guys go ahead, I'll wait here so I can catch my breath." the duo looked at each other and nod, they were just about to go into the cave but paused looking back at her for a brief moment, then walked further in.
"Go Grim" he shook his head but Shizuoka patted him on his head, "they need you more than me to help them" Grim breathed out.
"Myyya okay!" He ran off after Ace and Deuce into the cave. Shizuoka waited till he was gone then looked to the motionless creature.
".......It's been a long time Grumpy." He was silent not moving from under the cauldron which was slowly disappearing. "What happened to Doc?" The creature moved slightly at the name she spoke seeming to instinctively know it. "Or dopey or sleepy or happy or sneez-"
"GRRRRAAAAAAA!!" He yelled loudly cutting Shizuoka off. She sprang into action and used the chains to tie him down.
"Sorry this is going to hurt." Her eyes glowed crimson and her chains tightened.

Just then, another cauldron came out of the sky, and another one, and another one, that seemed to make him angrier and then she heard 3 voices coming from the cave.
"...Grumpy." Her chains slowly slipped loose and vanished all together, she fell on her knees coughing violently.
