A metal grinding sound can be heard, As Calit's cat puppet falls down to the floor beaten badly, By another cop puppet. That's two more losses for me. But from these two more losses he has gained the experience he needs to do real combat. This time I'm going to win, fiery passion burning deep in Calit's eyes and soul, this time is my chance to fight back.
Makoy is sweating looking like he aged 30 more years rushes to the sparring grounds, "Alright kid one more fight and you have to go, your mother is really worried about you and won't stop asking questions no matter what I tell her."
Calit nods ready to face off he's next opponent. A young police recruit between the ages of 18-20 comes forward towards Calit, and puts a cocky smile at Calit, "Ready to lose?" He says Calit responds with a nod not ready to get down to his level.
As soon as there in position the match starts quickly Calit's puppet goes for a horizontal slash swish, it hits his opponent right in the chest grinding noises can be heard. The young police officer not expecting this quickly manages his puppet to try and get the rapire out of the puppets waist but to no avail since Calit's puppet responded quickly and managed to grab the hand of the officer puppet.
And crushed it with his sharp claws, Even Calit didn't know it, his skill, stats,combat experience soared between matches. desperation, confusion and shock were sinking in the young officer even if he was young don't be fooled even a young man like that has gotten into plenty of battles and has more experience then someone that recently joined the force or any common thug.
Ding! Ding!Ding!

As soon as the young man's mind was racing. Calit didn't waste a second, He suddenly cut off the puppet's arm with two strikes of his claws defeating the puppet no longer able to stand. Calit was surprised at his victory but he was experiencing immense joy. Not only did he complete a quest but he also shut that guy up.
Another ding! Was heard in Calit's head.
System notification: Quest completed, "All rewards will be given once the user checks his stats, user please continue to improve."
Calit was happy as he saw the system notification in front of him and heard the system cold voice he's getting used to. It is actually almost the voice he wants to hear everyday almost sometimes is annoying.
Makoy watching from the sidelines finally says something. But not the something you are expecting, "Okay kid let's go you have to go home now." As soon as he saids that Kat hugs Calit taking him away as he packs up his puppet, Kat worrieds all melt away seeing her precious son is doing fine.
On the way Kat calls a cab and now there on the way home, While Calit and Kat are on their way home. Makoy and Nathan finish giving the report to the chief of police, "Here you go chief."Says Nathan.
"Thanks boys, I'll look it over so you can leave." Nathan and Makoy left the bosses floor.
"So we have a new user, Better report this to the council or I can take everything that kid has. He won't know what hit him. I'll wait for now but soon enough he will gain enough items to take. " The chief grins, He calls his trusted aide, "Jack, I got a job for you since you fought that kid before and lost. I bet you want revenge. I want you to watch him for me and make his life a little more difficult."
Jack has done things like this before but this time is personal Jack grins, "Chief I won't let you down." The chief puts a mischievous smile while sitting in a chair drinking expensive wine, "I expect you not to jack." Then the chief ends the call laughing.
While this is going on Calit arrives home feeling extremely happy by his win and is now more than ready to get his rewards but he's feeling extremely tired he goes to his side of the warehouse and falls asleep in his bed.
He sees his father leaving. He wants to stop him but he can't. He can't move. He can't speak and the strings attached to his back no matter how hard he tries to move the hands always stops him by moving the strings. He sees him leave to his death. I don't want to look but my eyes are wide open.
Is this how it feels to be a puppet? Marching to your death in the hands of someone else to do their bidding? NO!! I refuse to believe that some puppets do have lives of their own sometimes they absorb the puppeteers personality. And habits sometimes the souls of dead beings inhabited a puppet like favorite pets or even humans but they forget who they were and usually absorb the personality of the puppeteer.
