More puns. A continuation of the first part.

===

Mary: *smiles sadly* I don't hate you. I'll never hate you.

Erica: *still crying* F-fair maiden? M-Mary? I-I thought you left... wh-what..

Mary: *hugs Erica* Shh. I'm here, don't cry. Knights don't cry, do they?

Erica: ...But I'm no knight. Even if I was, I don't deserve to be one.

Mary: But your my knight. Change my mind.

Erica: ...I can't. You're my fair maiden.

Mary: Exactly. Erica, you're not a stupid excuse of a daughter. You're the best one there is. You shouldn't hate yourself. Out of all the people I know, you're the only one who loves yourself more than you love others, and that's...okay, but don't overdo it. Learn to love others along with loving yourself. It's bad to be a narcissist, y'know?

Erica: *sniffs* I-I know... but no matter how hard I try, I just can't-

Mary: That's why you joined the club right? To be able to get rid of your problem, and that's exactly what we're gonna do. Now, ya ready to face reality again?

Erica: ...Yes.

...

The two girls found themselves in the clubroom after school, surrounded by the others.

Mary: Go on, say what you have to say.

Erica: *sigh* Guys, look. I...I'm sorry for being a total butt these past two days. I just... couldn't take it you know? I didn't really expect to lose in that match. Well, in a way I kinda saw it coming but that's not the point. I really hate having to look up to myself and have my expectations up high. Please, please do everything in your power to help me!

Tristan: Erica. It's fine. You don't have to apologize. We'll be glad to help you. That's what this club is for.

Rhian: Yeah, on the side note though, did I mention how cool you looked out there while fighting against Tris?! *winks then high-fives Bea*

Erica: Heh. Don't flatter me anymore.

Princess: Yeah, we can't let it get to your head.

Bea: Alrighty then, ECC is taking control over this situation!

The other girls: Yes ma'am!

Bea: Automatic Transfer: Arena!

All: COMMENCE!

They were all engulfed by the bright blue light and were transferred to the arena where they chose to do the VS BattleBot AI mode.

Erica: Uh, excuse me, but how is this supposed to help??

Bea: *fighting stance* Just trust us and roll with it! Step 1! Tristan, go!

The BattleBots then emerged from the other side of the Arena.

Tristan: *readies bow* Clear your mind!

Erica: 'Clear my mind'? ...Okay? *uses Ice Beam on a nearby Bot*

Tristan: Angel! Step 2! *fires an arrow*

The arrow went straight to the Bot's head and pierced right through it.

Angel: *takes a deep breath* Never let your guard down! *uses Airline Spear*
