As if the atmosphere within the mansion wasn’t bad enough, Jaakuna got a chilling feeling from someone, or…something. He noticed that Avalon felt it too. When the latter voiced their concerns about it, Olette chimed in and stated that it must have been the wind. Jaakuna hoped that she was right and Avalon did as well, but Jaakuna knew that she wasn’t. He has had a bad feeling ever since the forest. Hell, he has had an off feeling since he and Avalon got off school for the summer break. There was something or someone following them and Jaakuna never felt right since then.

The group began to inspect different areas of the mansion. Jaakuna was about to do the same until Hayner yelled towards him and tackled him to the ground. Jaakuna was about to react angrily, but that’s when he saw what Hayner saved him from: key-shaped sword with purple flames surrounding it. Jaakuna raised an eyebrow at it when his initial anger mixed with surprise faded.

“[color=ed1c24][b]What in the holy hell!?[/b][/color]” Jaakuna didn’t even know what to say. That was the first thing that came out, “A-a-a freaking KEYSWORD!” Jaakuna really didn’t know how to comprehend what he saw. Even worse, it had some kind of purple aura surrounding it.

Just getting enough time to gather himself and get up, with Hayner’s help of course, Jaakuna looked at the person holding the Keysword. This girl definitely wasn’t much older than the group was, perhaps a little younger. But she definitely was around their age range. 

[I]Trespassing?[/I] Jaakuna didn’t know what this girl was on about, “[color=ed1c24]Um, what, I don’t know who you are, but what do you mean trespassing? And lab?”[/color] Jaakuna truly didn’t know what she was on about. The eye-patch girl would then insult Jaakuna and that’s when the blonde had enough, “[color=ed1c24]Listen here, Patchy--[/color]” 

Before he could finish his sentence, Jaakuna heard slices at the main door. A few of them completely ripped the door into pieces and in came someone that Jaakuna didn’t think he would be able to see again -- the kitsune chick. 

“[color=ed1c24][b]YOU![/b][/color]” Jaakuna’s said, his voice aligned with Patchy and Avalon’s. 

The Fox Lady didn’t even hear Avalon and Jaakuna. Her attention was solely fixated on Patchy. It was like anger or some emotion took over as the Fox Lady took off as she would go to attack Patchy. The Keysword and Katana clashed with each other, sparks of the metal-on-metal action flying everywhere.  The force that went into Fox Lady’s attack pushed Patchy back. A brief moment of freedom allowed her to dodge-roll away and she took to the stairs. Fox Lady flew right after her. 

Everyone was as shocked and surprised as the tone that Olette’s voice took. It was one thing for someone to fly, but the fact that someone had some weird key-like weapon that had purple fire around it was enough to make even the loudest  person in a group to go silent. 

“[color=aba000]Yeah, I’m with you [/color][color=630460]Pence. Let’s get out of here.[/color]” Hayner and Olette said at the same time.

Avalon and Jaakuna were frozen still. It was fear or anything. Jaakuna knew that it was curiosity. The Fox Lady was real. The one that they both thought wasn’t actually was. Jaakuna would see Avalon take off into the same direction that Fox Lady and Patchy went. Olette screamed Avalon’s name, but he didn’t listen. All he did was run into the room that the two took off to.

“[color=ed1c24]You three go get help. Tell someone what happened here. I’ll make sure Avalon is safe.[/color]” Jaakuna said as he took off.
“[color=a36209]But..[/color]” Pence said as he saw Jaakuna was gone before any of his words would reach the blonde.
“[color=630460]Let’s go guys. I’m sure the two of them will be alright.[/color]” Olette said as the three of them -- Pence, Hayner, and Olette -- all left the Mansion and went to get help.

Jaakuna soon found himself next to Avalon, staring at a staircase going down. He noticed the tears into the walls, obviously showing the struggle that Patchy and the Fox Lady had. Each scar told a moment in the battle. Some of them said that Fox Lady was on the defensive, then patchy, then Fox Lady again. Jaakuna could tell that a real battle took place and not some Struggle shit that the kids of Twilight Town do.

“[color=ed1c24]You have to be curious, Avalon,[/color] “ Jaakuna said looking to his best friend, “[color=ed1c24]We finally find the Fox Lady and now this Patchy chick. And really, what the hell was up with that Keysword of hers?[/color]” Jaakuna really was just airing his questions out there, “[color=ed1c24]we owe it to ourselves to go find out.[/color]”
