While we were hiding under the rabbit monster's body, waiting for Mr. Gregory to cool down, I heard a melancholic whistle sound. 'This whistling sounds so sad and lonely...'
Drip.
Drip.
Tears suddenly rolled down from my eyes and trickled to the ground. Ronald turned towards me and said. "Llyne, do you hea - " Ronald saw me and started panicking. "W-Wah! Llyne! Are you alright?" Ronald's hand started to shake. I tilted my head in confusion. Rona stared at me with worried eyes and moved towards me. She started wiping my face with the edge of her sleeve. "Llyne misses her Ma?" Rona asked with a worried tone and look. I looked at Rona's soaked sleeve and rubbed Rona's head. "What's there to panicked? I'm fine. For some reason, when I heard that whistling sound, my tears started falling by itself." Ronald agreed. "I heard that whistling sound too. But instead of crying, I feel confused instead. Why am I such a crying baby, or why am I so weak? Why can't I protect the people I love and so on. Ugh... this confusion is giving me a huge headache and depression. I don't like it." Ronald laid on the ground, feeling lack of energy. Rona pouted. "Rona can't hear a thing."
I peeked out and saw the audience losing their minds. Some were crying, some were laughing, some were beating other people, and others were jumping off the stadium. I hurried back under the monster's body and said. "Outside isn't pretty either." I pondered to myself and turned towards Rona. "You can't hear the whistling sound, and you don't feel emotions pouring out of you?" Rona shook her head.
'Does it co-relate? If it does, we just need to cover our ears.' I covered my ears to test my hypothesis. Ronald looked at me and covered his ears as well. After a few minutes, I felt like I got a hold of my emotions again. Ronald's eyes sparkled and mouthed something. I looked at his facial movements, expression, and lips to guess what Ronald said. "My head is clear now." Ronald smiled for one second, then he gave a shock face, and then he started feeling sad. "I can't hear what I'm saying." I burst out in laughter, and Ronald looked at me in concern. "Don't tell me it didn't work on Llyne?! Oh no!"
Suddenly, something huge hit the ground and made a really loud sound. We jumped in shock and looked at each other. "That was a loud bang. Something huge must have hit the ground. I hope it wasn't a bomb." Ronald grabbed onto Rona's arm nervously. I peeked out to see what happened and saw two pieces of Mr. Gregory lying on the ground. "Wow. That's a clean cut." I looked up and saw Master Khun off his chair, holding his katana. Master Khun sheathed his katana and sat back into his chair. I moved back anxiously and said. "Mr. Gregory is dead. And..."
Ronald jumped up and screamed. "Dead?!" Ronald was so excited that he flung the rabbit monster with his arms into the air. Ronald stood there frozen as the crowd stared at us. "I didn't know I was that strong." Ronald teared up. Rona clapped with delight and imitated Ronald. "Ronald is super strong! You go, whoosh! And the rabbit went phew! And baam!" Ronald's face turned red like tomato as he covered his face. "Wah~ So embarrassing." I snickered and said. "Ronald looks like a tomato, except his hair isn't green." Rona's eyes shimmered when she heard what I said. "Ronald! Ronald! Make your hair green! Green!" Ronald looked at Rona in horror, and then he looked at me. Rona gave Ronald her puppy look, and Ronald immediately agreed. I watched both of them at the sideline and laughed hysterically. Rona cheered in joy, whereas Ronald looked like he's about to lose his soul.
Bzzt.
"Hmm? What's that?" I wiped my tears off and saw a huge blank blue screen floating in the air.
Rona tilted her head. "I don't see anyone."
Ronald had a worry look. "What are they going to do now? Take revenge? They don't think Mr. Gregory has anything to do with us, right?"
We heard a scream. "HEEEEEYYAAAAHH!!!!" A young girl with pink twin tail, wearing overly shiny clothes, appeared in the blue screen. "My name is Mimi. You guys can call me Mi, sis, cutiepie, love, or anything! Mimi loves anything that is cute!" I rubbed my eyes and said. "She's super, ermm... energetic?" Mimi continued. "Now that Mr. Uncle is gone, Mimi will take over! Mimi hope you all won't be disappointed~" The audience cheered, and Mimi fired some fireworks into the sky.
Pew! Pew!
Boom!
Baam!
"Wow! What are those? They're so colourful." Rona jumped up and down excitedly. Ronald patted her head and replied. "Fireworks." Rona wowed and kept repeating the word 'Fireworks'. I covered my ears in annoyance. 'Oui... Of all things, why must it be fireworks? My eardrum might pop soon. I rather she snapped her finger like what Mr. James always does.'
"Alrighty, now that we have introduced each other. Let's get the ceremony rolling!" Mimi cheered. "Let's first help our poor monsters, shall we?" Mimi waved her hands like those street magicians, and those monsters miraculously started moving.
Rona pointed at the dog monster and said. "The butt is moving." I grabbed Rona's collar and said. "Yup, and if you want to live, start moving those feet."
Ronald and I dragged Rona away but was quickly surrounded by the monsters. Ronald panicked and screamed. "What do we do? What do we do?"
'Oui. They have big bodies, but they're fast, so even if we try to slip through their feet, we might get crushed by them.' I looked around for any kind of clue and found weapons behind the dog monster. "You got to be kidding me." The monsters inches closer towards us. Staring at us while licking their drooling mouth.
Ronald wept. "I always thought I would die from natural death or accidents or getting killed by humans, but definitely not being eaten by overdose home pets!" Rona smiled. "Don't worry! We'll be dying together!" Rona screamed. "That's not comforting at all!"
I whispered and said. "Hey, do you guys see those weapons behind the dog?" Rona and Ronald nodded. I continued. "You guys go grab those weapons while I distract those monsters, alright?"
Ronald refuted strongly. "No! You'll die! How can you say that? You're so mean!" Rona agreed with Ronald and insulted. "Ya. Looks like Lil gotten more stupid than before."
I pulled Rona's ears and said. "I can, so listen! After I somewhat pissed those monsters and started running like a roadrunner, you and Rona will run towards the weapon stand and choose a weapon. Then quickly save me before I turned into their snack, okay?" Rona and Ronald reluctantly agreed. "Unless you guys want me to get eaten up by those monsters and then haunt you two for the rest of your life." Rona and Ronald shook their head.
I smiled and turned towards the 3 monsters. I screamed with confidence. "Hey, you 3 ugly maggots! I'm advising you to stop eating innocent people because it ain't helping your looks. I mean, look at you. You are like a universe, constantly expanding. This planet isn't big enough to accommodate one of you at this rate. And your faces, oui. No makeup can save that look. I'm jealous of those people who haven't seen you. Brr~" I hugged myself and shuddered.
[Rona and Ronald's side]
While I was busy chatting with the 3 monsters, Rona and Ronald sneakily walked past the dog monster. They reached the weapon stand and stopped right in front of it. Rona and Ronald stared at the weapons. "So, do we take all of them?" Ronald scratched his head. Rona grabbed a weird weapon and put inside her mouth. Ronald panicked and tried to pull it out of Rona's mouth. "That's not for eating, Rona!" Ronald pulled Rona's weapon out and fell to the ground. "Ouch!" Ronald looked at the weapon and was baffled. "This is a weapon? It's like fake teeth that grandma always wear but with deadly sharp teeth." Rona snatched it back and put it back inside her mouth. Rona opened her mouth wide open and proudly showed off her weapon.
Ronald laughed nervously and gathered the rest of the weapon. Rona and Ronald quickly grabbed the weapons and rushed towards the monsters.
[Llyne's side]
"...And that's why I told you guys to stop eating us, understand?" I puffed angrily. The monsters looked at each other and then looked at me and growled. I smacked my forehead and said. "Oh. My. Gooseness. I didn't insult you. When did I? I'm only describing you guys. Geez. Not only the appearances have problems but the brain cells too. I bet even if I combined all 3 of your brain cells together, the total count will still be 0." The monsters roared. They raised their paws and tried to squish me. I screamed. "Woah! Chill! Chill!" The monsters ignored me and smashed their paws to the ground. I barely dodged the hit, but shockwave hit and threw me high up into the sky. I flapped my hands like a newborn bird, desperately trying to fly away. "Wah! I forgot I can't fly." The rabbit monster's jaw gaping wide, trying to eat me. I bawled. "I never hate gravity this much!"
Ronald screamed. "Llyne!" Ronald threw a weapon at me. I grabbed the weapon and fell straight into the rabbit's mouth.
Gulp.
