Outside the walls of Merlin Academy, Uli and her band of VKs huddled under a tree for protection from the rain.

Hook, with his signature smirk in place, looked through a pair of binoculars. Flanked by his fellow villains, he exudes a calm, almost cocky confidence, as if the very ground they stand on is theirs for the taking."The coast is clear," he said.

He jumped down the tree elegantly and stood next to Morgie and Maleficent. But Uli stopped him before he could move. "Not yet," she warned him.

She was right to be cautious— while watching Skyler who jumped down and went to the entry.

While inside Merlin Academy, a hooded figure approached the heavy wooden door to the principal's office.

Skyler dashed through the rain, climbing swiftly before slipping into the principal's office. She pulled off her soaked hoodie and tossed it to the floor. "Hey you ready to do this?"

Red pulled out an improvised lockpick and went to unlock the door before Skyler stopped her. As Skyler was about to open the door with her key, they heard footsteps. They whirled around - And found Chloe.

Chloe had changed into a vintage Merlin Academy tourney uniform, and the midnight-blue dress dotted with gold stars made her look like a true hero. With her sword strapped to her waist and her gloves covering her hands, she was clearly ready for action and reporting for duty.

"What're you doing here?" Red asked, ready for a fight.

"Getting my hands dirty," Chloe said simply.

"You're gonna break into the principal's office?" Skyler couldn't keep a smile from stretching across her face.

"It's for a good cause," Chloe said, resolute.

"And you're already justifying your crimes? Love it," Red said approvingly.

Chloe huffed a laugh, letting the comment go.
The trio headed into the office, swinging the door almost all the way shut behind them.
