Penny: Reese, I'll go in first! You be my backup, alright!?
Reese: You got it, Penny!
Jawo': Be careful, you two...
Penny: You don't have to worry about us, Jawo'. We know what we're doing. Let's go, Reese!
Reese: Yeah!
Shadow: *sigh* Oh bother... *rubs head*
Penny: Let's see how you handle this, Shadow!
Shadow: Oh Penny, you and those yo-yo's of yours.
Penny: They're not yo-yo's! They're spinners!
Shadow: Yeah..right...spinners. Anyway, what are you going to do? Throw them at me again? Perhaps try another tie up trick like last time?
Penny: What!? Are you trying to say that I'm predictable!?
Shadow: I'm not saying anything, Penny. But if the shoe fits... *shrugs*
Penny: Well then, I guess it's time I showed you what I can really do!
Shadow: Oh?
Penny: Yeah! Watch this!
*Penny enfuses her spinners with mana and launches them both at an angle towards the ground. The powered up spinners then tunnel deep into the earth*
Shadow: *attentively* Hmm...(What's she plotting...)
Penny: Alright, let's do it!
*With a slight movement of her finger, one of the spinners rapidly emerges from the ground at an angle, straight towards Shadow*
Shadow: Guh!
*Shadow sidesteps just in time to avoid the attack. The spinner then retreats back underground with another movement of Penny's finger*
Shadow: Tricky...
Penny: Hmph, so I missed. Oh well, let's try again!
*Penny nudges her finger again, causing the spinner to emerge from the ground at an angle, this time from behind Shadow*
Shadow: Hm!
*Shadow leaps to the side, avoiding the attack*
Penny: Now I got you!
*Penny nudges her finger on the opposite hand, causing the other spinner to rapidly emerge and strike Shadow from the side while his focus is split*
Shadow: Ngh!! (Lucky shot...)
Penny: Ah ha!
*With the attack successful, the two spinners retreat back underground and back up to Penny's hand*
Penny: How did you like that? I call it..."Snake in the grass"! Heehee!
Shadow: Heh, I'll admit, it's pretty good. ...For you, anyway.
Penny: Ooooh! I'll teach you to make fun of me!
*Penny launches her spinners to each side of her. Wrapping one around the tree, and the other around a second tree.*
Penny: Errrggh!!
*She then tugs with all her might, slowly uprooting the trees and pulling them from the ground*
Shadow: Mama mia...
~~Meanwhile, in Ackland Town~~
*Lilia leaves the item shop after completing her shopping*
Lilia: Hm...I think this should be enough for our trip. Yup! We're all set! Now to get back to the mansion.
*As Lilia walks down the streets of the town, she spies far off in the distance the two trees that Penny has a hold of falling towards the ground*
Lilia: Hunh? Trees falling? I don't remember there being any lumberjacks in this area. ...What could be going on?
Mel: Lilia!
Lilia: Huh? Who said that? Did someone call me?
*Mel runs up to Lilia and stops before her to catch his breath*
Mel: *panting* Lilia...hah...ha...
Lilia: Oh, it's Penny's father. What are you doing here?
Mel: Lilia, your friends, they need you...
Lilia: Uh? What are you talking about? What's happened?
Mel: I assume that you know the one by the name of Shadow, correct?
Lilia: Shadow? Yeah, I do. What about him?
Mel: There's not much time, so I'll get straight to the point. This Shadow character has engaged a battle with Blue and the others.
Lilia: What!?
Mel: It's true. They're off fighting now even as we speak. I haven't the strength to aid due to a slight...mishap, so I came to find you instead. If this Shadow is as strong as I felt he was, they won't last much longer without help...
Lilia: Well then tell me! Where are they now!?
Mel: They're at the forest clearing just north of town.
Lilia: Alright, I'll go help them right away!
Mel: Lilia...be careful...
Lilia: I will! And thank you!
*Without a moment's delay, Lilia runs off in pursuit of Shadow, to aid her fallen friends*
Lilia: *panting while running* Hah..ha...(Shadow...why are you doing this...?)
*Meanwhile, back at the battle, Penny uses her unnatural strength to hurl the entire uprooted tree at Shadow*
Penny: Haaaaaaah!
Shadow: Gyah!
Penny: And here's number two! Uaaaaagh!
*Penny slings the second tree at Shadow*
Shadow: Yow! That's some throwing arm you got there! But still...
*Shadow summons his scythe*
Shadow: It's nothing I can't handle!
*As the trees near Shadow, he takes his scythe and slices them clean in half, nullifying Penny's attack*
Shadow: Hah, that wasn't too bad. In fact, I'd even say it was fun! It's not everyday that I get trees thrown at me.
Penny: Ungh! Why you...!
*Meanwhile, Reese sits atop a nearby tree. With a clear shot at Shadow's back, he loads three arrows into his bow*
Reese: *to himself* Nice job keeping him distracted, Penny. Now I've got a perfect shot! I can't possibly miss!
Shadow: Well well...is that it? No more off-the-wall attacks?
Penny: Tsch...
Shadow: Not even a typical hot-headed retort? Tsk tsk. I'm disappointed in you, Penny. Ah well...then I guess it's my turn...
*Shadow begins to run towards Penny with his scythe ready when...*
Reese: Triple Shot!
Shadow: Huh?
*Shadow looks behind himself to see three arrows quickly advancing on him*
Penny: Ha! Let's see you get away from those!
Shadow: Hmm...okay!
Penny: What?
*Shadow takes a nearby log from the sliced tree from earlier and kicks it up into the arrow's path, causing them to lodge into the log instead*
Reese: Gah! No! There's no way he could've responded so fast!
Shadow: *winces* Ssssss! Oh, so close!
Penny: Rrragh! We're not done with you yet, Shadow!
Shadow: That may be true, but I'm quite finished with you. So why don't you take a little nap for me?
*Shadow prepares a magic spell*
Shadow: Temptation to Sleep!
*Shadow fires an ominous glowing ray from his hands at Penny*
Penny: Noooo! Aaaaaah!
Reese: Penny! No!
*The ray collides with Penny, sending an unknown frequency to her brain that forces her to fall asleep on her feet*
Reese: ...Penny?
Penny: *snoring* Zzzzzzzzz...
Reese: Yah! She's asleep!
Shadow: Heh, yeah. I wasn't really in the mood for a flashy attack. Besides, that was more than enough to shut her up.
Reese: Ggh! (Yikes! I'm all alone now! W-w-what do I do?!)
*Shadow turns to Reese*
Shadow: Oh Reeeeeeeeeeeeese!
Reese: Waaaah!
*Reese flails about in a panic, causing himself to fall from the tree and crash to the ground*
Reese: Woah! Oof!! ...Ouch... *rubs head*
Shadow: Looks like it's just you and me now, little buddy.
Reese: ...*gulp*
Shadow: You and me, we're gonna have SO much fun. I can TELL!
Reese: Uhm...no thanks! Er...didn't you know? I'm allergic to fun! Yeah, that's right! It makes me break out in a nasty rash.
Shadow: Now now, Reese. Don't be coy! Everybody has to die sometime...
Reese: Aaaaaaaaaaagh!
Jawo': Reese! No!
*Shadow starts towards Reese when a sudden explosion is engaged upon his right arm*
Shadow: Nngh!! My arm...!
Reese: ...Huh?
Jawo': What...was that?
Shadow: Rgh! Who...who did this!?
Lilia: Back off, Shadow!
Shadow: Rgh...that voice...
*Just then, Lilia leaps out of a nearby tree, in front of Shadow*
Jawo'/Reese: Lilia!
Lilia: Jawo', Reese. Are you two okay? You're not hurt, are you?
Reese: I'm fine now, thanks to you.
Jawo': Lilia...you shouldn't have come...
Lilia: And why not?
Jawo': Shadow...he's too strong for you to handle alone. Just get out of here! While you still can!
Lilia: Are you crazy? I'm not doing that!
Jawo': What?!
Lilia: I won't abandon my friends. Not ever.
Jawo': But Lilia...
Lilia: I said I won't do it! And besides...I can take care of Shadow.
Jawo': Huh?
Lilia: Just trust in me. Okay? *winks*
Jawo': ...Fine...
