"Guys! He followed us!" I cried out as I look over my shoulder. "Are you kidding me!?" Ace says in shock as he drops me onto the ground.

"Uuuuuuu.....! Gib back...STONEEEE!!!"

"Damn it...We'll get caught if this keeps up!" Deuce brushes his hair back, trying to think of a plan. "Guys, let's finish it!" I suggested. "But...you're injured!" Deuce said.

"Doesn't matter!" I stood up and puffed my chest to show how serious I am.

"Ugh! Fine! Let's do it! You better not back down, Mr. Serious!" Ace said with determination. "Same goes to you!" Deuce replied back. "I'm gonna show ya my true power!" Grim exclaimed.

I take a step back away from the fight to analyze the situation. Since we have the upper hand all three of them strike the monster at the same time with different elements. "Shit I can't help them if they strike all at once..." I mutter under my breath.

The enemy casts a...what the fuck is that??? Ink??? Yeah I'm just gonna call it that-

"Gross!!! Now my fur's all messed up! FUNGYA!!!" Grim casts fire which deals a decent amount of damage. "GUOAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!" It then sends a gust of wind towards Deuce, knocking him back a bit. "Hey! That's my specialty!!!" Ace casts his own wind spell which didn't so as much damage as I hoped. "GUYS!!! TRY MOSTLY FIRE!!!" I yell out to them. "Got it Azuma!" Deuce casts a fire attack.

We then keep repeating this rotation of me analyzing, them attacking and then me shouting orders. I think it's supposed to be the other way around but it doesn't matter THE MONSTER'S HP IS DOWN TO ZERO!!!

"Did we...do it?" Ace asks, in between breaths. "W-We won...? We won!" Grim exclaimed. "Yaaay~~~!" They cheer as they all high-fived. "You guys are leaving me out! And since when did you guys get along so well?" I ask in a teasing tone.

"Ah! I-It's not like that!"
"Y-Yeah! Can you stop saying anything weird?"
"We won because I'm a genius! We didn't win because we worked together!"
The three of them deny of any teamwork or coordination we did together.

"Eeeh!? But that what's you guys did earlier!" I pouted. "I hate to admit it but thanks to your guidance, we won..." Ace said. "Yeah. You were able to think straight and give us orders even after you tripped. That's why we were able to get the Magic Stone." Deuce added. "Ehehe! I make for a pretty good Navi, don't I?" I put my hands on my hips as if doing a heroic pose.

"By the way, is your foot okay?" Grim asked. "Yeah, it's fine. I thought I sprained it but it wasn't. It was bound to happen anyway..." I shrug it off. "But...that's weird." Deuce muttered. "Hm? What is?" I ask. "You were able to cast a spell despite not having magic..." He explained. "Wait, IT WORKED!?!? HOLY SHIT HOW???" I cried out in awe. "That's what I'm wondering too!" He exclaimed.

"Whatever...everything's okay now. I'm so tired...Let's go home already." Ace said with a yawn. "I'm starving from using so much magic! Hm? What's this?" Grim picks up a black stone. "Remnants from the monster? Is it a magic stone? I've never seen a stone as black as coal..." Deuce looks at the stone, curious. Grim sniffs it, "This thing kinda smells good!"

"You're kidding!" Ace looks at Grim in shock. "Maybe it was the candy he kept! Ooh...I can' hold back any longer! Time to dig in!" "Grim! Spit it out! Spit it out! If you wanted candy you should've asked me earlier!" I desperately try to stop him but...he already ate it! "Ugh...!"

"Oi! Are you okay!?" Deuce looks at him worried. "Geez...That's why you shouldn't eat things off the ground" Ace said sternly.

"It's....DELICIOUS!!!"
"EEH!?!?"

"It has a rich taste which rolls around your mouth and it has an aromatic sweetness that blooms in my mouth! It's as if there was a field of flowers in my mouth!" Grim said happily as if he was in a cooking anime.

"Bleh! Do monsters really have different tastes from us?" Ace says in disgust. "I guess, but...picking up something from the ground and eating it isn't what a lot of people do." Deuce stated. "This is really weird..." I muttered.

"Gyahaha! Delish! Don't worry, my stomach's isn't as weak as yours." Grim crossed his arms, confidently. "If you're gonna get a stomach ache from that, I'm not helping you." I said. "Well then, let's bring this Magic Stone to the principal!" Deuce said. "Wait! Can we please do one more Victory High-Five? With me this time?" I pleaded.

"NO!"
"Boo..."
