Feast your eyes on my masterpiece
"Get behind me," Parker ordered the kids as she kept her focus intensely on the man. Triton, Lacey, and Daisy quickly ran behind her. "What do you want?" She asked the man.
Dollhouse looked at her interestingly rubbing his chin. "What every great villain wants, my precious. World domination." Onlookers gasped. "However, that is not what I am looking for. What I want is adoration and glorification for my beautiful instruments that I've dedicated my life over all these years." He stated gloatingly. "I want everyone to bow before me."
"That's never going to` happen." Triton yelled out from behind Parker's leg, shaking his fist at the man. "Parker'll kick your butt to next week."
Parker looked down at him with a squeak and wide eyes, "Triton."
He gave her a thumbs up with a smile.
"Will she now?" Dollhouse asked. "Beautiful and brave, yet, stupid. Okay." The man smiled then whipped out a small remote control. "I'll start them on level 3 just for you. I don't want them to bruise that pretty face of yours." He pushed some dials on the remote and the dolls shuddered once before they targeted in on Parker. Dollhouse stepped up to grab the sack from them.
People felt the change in the atmosphere and gathered up their belongings and started to run away from the group.
"Triton. Twins. Go with the crowd."
"But, Park-" The three simultaneously tried to argue.
"Go now," The older girl sternly said, taking a tone she'd never used before. Then she looked down at them softly, "I'll be okay."
They hesitated, before slowly letting go of her and running off with the others.
Parker glared over at Dollhouse and the dolls.
"Enjoy." Dollhouse whispered to the droids, and immediately Red sheet started ninja running towards the girl.
The doll raised her fist up and slammed it down, but Parker blocked the hit with her forearms. Parker gritted her teeth as pain ran through her arms from the impact. Red sheet then lifted a sharp knife with her other hand and sliced at the girl. Parker lent back, when suddenly Yellow panties was behind her coming in for a kick.
Parker yelped then quickly ducked down. Yellow panties ended up kicking Red sheet instead, causing the doll to stumble.
Blue smog wisped from Parker's hands and she shot a blue wisp ball into Yellow panties' face.
Red sheet recovered, then ran at Parker swinging the knife. Parker reached down and grabbed a piece of wood and brought it up just in time to connect with the knife. The doll started to hammer the knife against the wood as Parker struggled to push back. Parker took a breath and focused on her source.
"Mirror Mirror" she called and a translucent force field flew from her body and pushed the dolls back in the distance.
It grew too quiet.
Blue fairy wings peeled from Parker's back. They fluttered and she took to the sky, searching the ground carefully for the dolls.
Yellow panties flew at Parker using fire jets on her feet. The doll swung out and punched Parker in the gut. She was knocked back a little, holding her sore middle. Yellow panties went in for another punch, however Parker raised her hand and blasted a light beam in the doll's face. The explosion blasted Yellow panties down.
Parker quickly dodged to the side when a series of blast whipped passed her. She turned to see Red sheet flying her way full speed, steadily blasting at the girl. Parker flapped her wings and flew away as the doll chased after her. The doll continued blasting at the fairy mage, who flew around in zigzags and circles. Parker had the doll lost for a while, until a blast caught her in the wing. Hot pain seared all over her back and she started falling to the ground.
BOOM
Dust rose up when her body touched down. Red sheet landed on her feet and Yellow panties burst through the debris of a destroyed stand. The dolls headed towards her.
Parker lifted her hands faced palm up. They stepped up to the immobile girl and struck at her, but they only hit an invisible dome barrier. The dolls recoiled from the dome as they were shocked and were sent sliding back.
But they didn't stop coming. Once to their feet, the dolls once again zeroed in on Parker. Yellow panties ran up and jumped into the air prepared to crush right through the barrier and Parker.
"Ice ball" a giant block of ice rushed into Yellow panties and knocked the doll onto the ground.
Red sheet watched as her sister got hit and took a few steps toward Parker. Suddenly, a sharp leaf wheezed pass the dolls face, leaving a long cut along her cheek. Red sheet felt something run down her face and reached up to touch, bringing her hand away to see oil glistening her fingertips.
The doll looked to her right.
Daisy and Lacey stood a few feet away with determined looks on their faces.
"Cool ice cube, big sis." Daisy said to her twin.
"I-i-it w-was s-s-supposed to b-be r-round," Lacey stuttered out embarrassed.
While the doll was focused on the girls, Parker decided to take the distraction. She aimed at Red sheet and light started gathering on her hand. A beam of light blasted at the doll.
Red sheet quickly turned and lifted her palm. When the beam reached her, the attack was just absorbed into the doll's hand like it was nothing.
'What?', Parker thought as her eyes widened.
This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.
"Marvelous isn't it?" Dollhouse said amazed as he approached the scene. "They are all built with highly advanced technology, from the most finest of engineers on planet Earth. My babies are almost indestructible." Dollhouse laughed from where he stood as he watched on with delight. What was this, entertainment for the crazy man?
"You see how strong they are? How fast they are. They are already so powerful that they have you calling in backup from the baby crew and they're only on level 3."
"Aaahhh," Triton roared and dashed in with half a board of wood clenched in his hands. He ran up to Dollhouse and swung the wood hard against the man's ankle.
"YOW!" Dollhouse cried out and hopped to the side, glaring over. Once he saw it was the boy he growled. 'Stupid kids'. He reared his foot back and kicked Triton under the chin.
The boy flew back and landed in the dirt.
"NO!" Parker screamed, then shot a blue wisp ball at Dollhouse.
Suddenly, Red sheet was there to block the shot and zoomed to kick Parker in the stomach as she was getting to her feet.
Parker soared back with a gasp.
The twins watched the fairy mage sail back in horror and continued to glare timidly at the doll.
"Daisy's garden" Daisy called out and a carpet of grass started growing under everyone's feet. Then sprouts of grass shot from the patch and wrapped tightly around various places of the doll's body, holding her still.
A few leaves flew in next to the grass mage. With each swipe of Daisy's hand, a leaf bladed out at Red sheet. But the doll was better than that.
Snapping her left arm free from the grass, she knocked away the incoming leaves and started freeing up her other parts.
Lacey clicked her fingers together and flinched when they sparked. She closed her eyes and starting to recite over their lessons. 'What did dad always tell us? Focus on your magic. Become one with your source.' She lifted her palms.
"Ice blast" a purple magic circle formed before her hands and small chunks of ice sprayed from it, almost like how low ice disperse from a machine.
Red sheet just stood there as the ice chunks bounced against her skin.
"Big sis!" Daisy whined as she looked over at Lacey in shock.
"I-I'm tr-try-ing."
The doll just stood there like she was accessing them. The girls faced her, now truly scared and left to fend for themselves.
"W-w-what i-is s-she d-do..?" Lacey tried to ask as she took a few steps closer to her sister.
"I don't know, but we can't just stand here." Daisy said.
Just then, two guards ran up and pulled out their weapons. Not asking questions, they started shooting at the group. Clink. Clank. Bullets ricocheted from Red sheet's body. The twins had to duck and dodge the sprays that wheezed their way.
"Watch where you're aiming at meanies," Daisy shouted shaking her small fist up.
Red sheet turned to the guards unaffected and aimed at them. A beam shot from her hand and Daisy jolted with a squeak.
She lifted her right arm. Grass shot up and wrapped around the guards, then lifted them high. The beam missed them. Then a magic circle formed under the doll.
"Blade hurricane" a hurricane of leaves rose from the ground and spun around the droid.
Clink. Clink. The sound of slicing metal rung through the air.
A hand struck through the leaves and a cord sprung from the doll's wrist and shot at the girls. The cord wrapped around them both before she pulled it tight. She yanked the girls up high into the air and instantly the leaves were chopped to tiny pieces and fluttered to the ground.
Red sheet hovered in the air. Her skin was cut up and leaking oil. Yanking her arm down, the twins arched down then slammed to the ground. Whoosh. BOOM.
"STOP IT!" Parker scream as she zoomed towards Red sheet and kicked her in the side. The doll sailed into a toy booth. Stuffed animals and toys scattered about.
"Ow ow ow ow," Parker whimpered as she hopped up and down holding her poor foot.
Sensing something behind her, Parker leaned to her left just as Yellow panties kicked her foot straight out.
Parker turned and punched the doll across the face. Yellow panties struck Parker's jaw with the back of her hand. Parker stumbled to her side and turned to face Yellow panties and spat red wisp pellets at her. The pellets landed in her face and burned into the wires.
Yellow panties started spazzing out as she glitched, then shut down and crumbled to the ground.
Red sheet came back, fiercely flying into Parker. She punched the magic, but Parker blocked it with her arms. The force had the girl sliding back as the doll continued pushing.
Parker leaned her weight in and they came to a stop. She tried to punch her, but the doll swiftly swiped her arm away and punched the girl instead. Parker's body slowly tilted to the side.
Red sheet punched Parker again and then uppercut the girl down to her back.
"Ngh," Parker groaned as she tried to move a muscle, but her body wasn't cooperating. She was glued to the ground now from the pain.
Dollhouse stepped up into her fuzzy view, parading a triumphant smile.
"You really are perfect," he said and the last thing she heard was her name being screamed before everything went dark.
The Slammer...
A door to the small, holding cell cabin opened and King waddled out with a tall guard following closely behind. The guard stopped and held the door open. King turned to the man and held out his arms and the guard grabbed a ring of keys from his hip and unbuckled the shackles from the master's wrist and ankles.
Once free, King rubbed his wrist and rotated to see Nara and Ricky waiting for him.
"You all stay out of trouble," the guard said.
"Oh, I assure you this will never happen again." Nara said unrelentingly, not looking away from King.
"Yeah whatever. Fucking magics." The guard grumbled under his breath as he walked back into the building.
The air got tense and quiet.
"What in the hell is wrong with you?" Nara asked but continued when King started to open his mouth. "Never mind. I'm too scared to even want to know."
"I'm sorry." King mumbled tiredly.
"Two girls!" Nara snapped as she walked a few steps towards her husband. "You attacked two girls at the Lauza and all you can say to me is that you're sorry." Nara huffed, then licked her lips. "Wow. How about what's been going on with you lately?"
King just stared back at her as he remained silent, then shook him head and relented. "I just lost my head for a second."
"Yeah. It seems like you've lost it far longer than a second. And where were you?" Nara directed to Ricky who jolted from the change in conversation.
"In my defense, I didn't think he was gonna tackle 'em." Ricky said while trying not to laugh. 'Shit was funny though'.
"You tackled two girls, who were coincidentally naked, in front of who knows how many people and children. How do you think they will feel about this little incident?" Nara turned back on King. "They barely tolerate us now. It won't be long before they find a reason to put us away for good."
"That won't happen." King said assuredly, placing his hands into his pockets.
Ricky looked at him. "What did you tell them to let you go?"
"The truth." King answered. "Every last detail."
They started to hear voices from behind them.
"This. Isn't. Over." Nara said pointedly to King through clenched teeth, projecting a deathly aura which had both men shaking.
The voices got louder the closer it came and the three soon figured out that it was screaming. They turned to see Triton, Lacey, and Daisy running their way. The kids were bruised and had tears gushing down their small faces.
"Now what's going on?" King mumbled and rubbed his face. Non-magic kids were just as bad as their parents and the guild children sometimes got the brunt of their anger, so seeing them bruised was unfortunately common.
"Mooommmmyyy," they cried as they ran up and hugged tightly onto Nara's legs.
"Oh no, my babies. What happened?" Nara soothingly said as she knelt to the children.
They tried to talk through the tears, but they were crying too hard. "Come here, my babies." Nara hugged all three and rocked them until their cries turned to hiccups. King and Ricky stood back watching with baffled and worried expressions.
"Now," she lifted up and watched as six teary eyes looked at her face. "Tell mama what's wrong?"
Daisy sniffed, "They took Parker?"
"Who took Parker?" King asked suddenly angry. That surely got his attention.
"The dolls," Triton said.
"A-and D-D-Doll h-house." Lacey added in.
"Dollhouse?" Nara asked looking up to the men.
The three adults looked to each other as the air went stiff.
Just then, The Slammer's door open and the guard reappeared.
"Oh, this just came in for you?" the guard said, handing King a slip of paper, then went back inside.
"What's it say?" Nara asked, holding the kids tightly.
King stared down at the paper, then let out a deep huff. "A fucking property damage bill."
