"I am filing a complaint to the company who produced these dolls." Blythe moaned as burnt doll limbs rained down on them. Blythe made a particular yelp as a wooden doll leg thumped her hard on her head.

"Well maybe you should think twice before lobbing a very explosive handheld bomb into a room full of evil and alive toys." Brynn fired back, shielding her head from the doll debris.

One undamaged doll covered in ash latched itself onto Juuzou's leg. Juuzou said a very rude word out loud. Blythe glowered at him.

"Get if off. Get it off. GET IT OFF!" He panicked, shaking his leg up and down. He swore its evil little grin was opening to reveal sharp teeth. Just as he kicked it off his leg, more dolls came pouring out of the room and started to envelope Juuzou, climbing on every way they could. Some were missing limbs or heads or were completely burnt on one side –but they still came.

"Juuzou!" Stefi screamed. Being the nearest to Juuzou, she grabbed his wrist and started to pull. It was no use. The dolls were amassing and weren't planning on letting go of Juuzou. Everybody's heart rate beat faster as Stefi, too, was about to be overwhelmed by the dolls.

"Touka, pull me." Stefi said, breathing hard as she tried to pull with all her might.

"Here we go." Touka warned as she told Stefi to hold on to Juuzou as tight as she could. In a matter if seconds, Juuzou was free of the dolls' clutches –but not before Touka tripped on a wriggling doll arm and they all landed in a heap.

"Juuzou, you better not have landed on me." Touka said scornfully as she was ready to shove away the person on top of her. It was Stefi -who was actually trying to remove the heavy and dazed Juuzou from pinning her legs. Stefi had landed hard on Touka's arms and stomach. "S-Stefi-chan?" Touka asked, blushing hard and hoping that Stefi would stop trying to accidentally break her left arm.

Stefi blushed. "Uh...sorry." She wriggled the remains of her stuck legs from under Juuzou's weight. She sat down beside Touka to catch her breath.

"Thank you." Touka said, relieved.

Stefi winked at Touka as if to say, "No problem."

Juuzou finally recovered from shock and stood up. He glances down at the two girls who were huffing and blushing and came to a conclusion. "D-did you guys just-"

Stefi shot up and slapped Juuzou hard, "NO WAY!"

"S-Stefi-chan?!" Juuzou was mortified and befuddled. What did he say wrong? His face still bore the red mark of Stefi's hand.

Blythe pulled out her twin katanas with a metallic 'shiing!' She ran towards the three and sliced away the dolls that were struggling to regain their hold not only on Juuzou, but also Touka and Stefi. Juuzou quickly grabbed Stefi away from one particular Marionette. (Touka stood on her own, kagune slipping from her body and waving menacingly at the dolls.) They moved closer to the group.
