Bittersweet Reunion

I didn't know that everything can hide it's secret. I thought only living objects only hide secrets, I was wrong.

~Spellweaver

"Spellweaver, try to unlock those drawers!"

They were still unto us and I can't help but feel really cornered. Though, maybe freeing their trinkets might get them out of the control. From behind them, I saw the townspeople, also under Saychelle's control. Their eyes were also bloodshot and walked in a slightly fast pace.

"I'll hold them back. See if you can find any openings for those drawers." Mysterious person ordered. Spellweaver nodded and looked around for buttons.

There was none. Nothing can help her in opening it.

"Hah! You cannot simply just bust that open!" Saychelle yelled.

"Help me Whiplasher!" Mysterious Person called out, holding an amulet in shape of a whip.

When she called upon its name, it came out of its amulet. Whiplasher looked like a human with a whip, longer than what Perfection uses.

"Attack!" She commanded. Together, they bought time for Spellweaver.

"How does this even open...?!" She desperately tried to look for any keys or keyhole but there was really nothing. Eventually, her hand touched something in the shape of a jigsaw puzzle.

"P-puzzler?" She questioned yet she also called it out. Puzzler is an animal, a bunny like animal. It's eyes studied Spellweaver.

"Open those drawers!" She instructed. Puzzler nodded and worked on her trinket first. Once it had opened the drawer, Puzzler threw the trinket on her hand and she wore it immediately. Power seethe through her veins and she felt recharged.

"Lunar! Solar! Join the battle!" Spellweaver called out.

Fire and Ice came to and from the amulet she held.

"Lunar! Freeze them but don't kill them!"

Meanwhile, Puzzler just finished with getting Truth and Logic's amulets. Puzzler handed them to Spellweaver. When her hand made contact with Truth's trinket, she yanked her hand away. "Chains of Melancholy!"

Chains of Melancholy is a spell wherein a non-bonded person can hold someone's amulet or trinket.

"Wh-what is with Truth's trinket? Maybe there's a creature residing in it..." Spellweaver thought aloud.

There was strange ray of electric current that passed onto her skin when she touched that trinket.

With her eyes, she locked on Truth's neck and wished herself luck. She threw the trinket and it successfully reached its destination.

The mind control has been stopped. Truth clutched his head and fell to his knees. Spellweaver went to his side and helped him up.

"Don't ask any questions. For now, help me with my brother's trinket. I need to throw this on his neck."

Truth nodded and gave her a thumbs up. "Alright I'll cover ya."

Spellweaver focused on her target while Truth attacked anyone who tried harming her.

"Grappling rope trick!"

A shiny gold rope appeared on her hands, which then formed to a lasso. Spellweaver twirled it around and threw it on Logic, sending him to stumble on the hard ground.

He was too strong for her and so, she tightened the rope and threw the trinket on Mysterious Person's hands. "Put it on his neck!" Spellweaver desperately ordered, using all her strength to hold him further.

Mysterious Person calmly put the trinket on his neck before Logic could even send Spellweaver flying across the room.

Once he was back to normal, his eyes met with the woman's eyes. For him, it was familiar though he couldn't figure out why he was also feeling an electric current traveling through his nerves.

Mysterious Person broke the contact when she yelled, "Armorguard!"

"Do you really think you can get away with that Saychelle?!"

"For someone who's so mysterious...you are so full of pride." Saychelle commented.

It was now a battle between the two women. Whilst the others were fighting against the mind controlled townspeople, Mysterious Person was busy reading Saychelle. 

"Mindsight..." Mysterious Person whispered under her breath.

Saychelle started attacking her but she evaded every attack Saychelle did.

"Dark Speed!" Mysterious Person's eyes emitted dark, navy blue flames. In a span of seconds, inhuman speed was seen on her every movement and attack, sending Saychelle flying outside of the cave.

The Courtroomteers stared at her, now having flames on her hands. She threw them on Saychelle. Loud screams were heard as she turned around, whipping her platinum hair and smirking.

"W-what a savage..."

"Perfection...?"

She turned around upon hearing her name. The wild mare has finally been caught,

Or so you've thought.

Perfection started to sprint out of another exit, away from her 'friends'. Logic chased her and soon catching up with her.

He held her wrist firmly, not wanting to let go.

"Release me at once!" Perfection tried yanking away her wrist but she didn't succeed.

"No. I won't let you get away this time."

"Just...let me go will you?"

Logic embraced her and put his head on her shoulder. Her face was void of emotions, not wanting to show she needed this.

"I'm sorry, I...just have to do this..." She pulled away from him and faced him. "But remember that I love you and I always have." Perfection placed a kiss on his lips before disappearing from his arms.

The two remaining Courtroomteers caught up to their leader. "Where is she?"

"She got away...into who knows where."
