THEY ALL STARTED CLEANING UP THE PLACE SEEING THAT AAARRRGGHH WAS STRUGGLING TO MOVE AROUND, Elizabeth was still dizzy but not to the point where she could not help out.
While blinky was still trying to convince jim to start his training, Her and Toby were focused on picking up books and VHS's. As she started sorting the books, Toby had decided to feed the VHS's to Aaarrrgghh.
"Liz! Look ha ha he eats VHS's" her eyebrows furrowed at the name since she was never called that but nonetheless she turned around and chuckled lightly at the sight of the troll eating the tapes.
"Your saying Bular can hurt people."
The three diverted their attention to Blinky and Jim's conversation, the grey troll pointed towards jim saying "like you"
"Not helping!"
Jim was curious and asked "What's he talking about?"
"With the trollhunter amulet now in your possession he will most likely seek you out, and you will have no choice but to face him" Blinky explained to the already confused and under pressure teen.
Toby realised his friends confusion "maybe what jim needs is a little time to process all of this." He paused before asking "Wait a second if they know about the trollhunter amulet, what about Liz's amulet?"
Blinky turned to Liz who hid was fiddling with the amulet in her hands "chances are they don't know yet that's why you must keep this a secret you tell no one at all and show it to no one, Is that clear lady Elizabeth?" He said but noticed her shrinking slightly by his words.
"Um, yes, of course."
Blinky sighed before placing a hand on her shoulder "if anyone finds out that the chaoswielder is back you will be more vulnerable than jim, it is a danger to you if anyone knows about it." He said reassuringly to the young girl who smiled softly at him and nodded.
They left to the back door where the trolls could leave, Toby gave more VHS tapes to arrrgh while Jim and Elizabeth stood behind, Liz was deep in thought and trying to process all that has happened today while Jim was busy observing his amulet solemnly.
Blinky noticed the stress that filled them both and walked over to them "lady Elizabeth, master Jim may I speak to the both of you for one last time?"
The two of them gave a quick glance to one another before nodding their heads, "if I may... destiny is a gift. Some go their entire lives living existences of quiet desperation, Never learning the truth.. that what feel as though a burden pushing down upon our shoulders, is actually a sense of purpose that lifts us to greater heights."
The both of them looked at Blinky in amazement by his choice of words "never forget that fear is but a precursor to valour, that to strive and triumph in the face of fear Is what it means to be a hero. Don't think, become."
They felt some weight lift off of their shoulders from the trolls wise words "would the both of you at least consider?"
Jim smiled at the troll and fist bumped each of his hands as an answer.
The three all watched as the 2 trolls disappeared into the forest "they're pretty stealthy huh? How's that I bought you a night." Toby stated proudly at the end hitting Jim's shoulder.
"A night?" Before jim could complain Toby continued.
"Dude, you're the one who's always talking about adventure and wanting something more. Well wish grated eh?" He turned his glance to Liz who was leaning against the kitchen counter her eyes not leaving the damage on her amulet "what about you Liz?"
She shook her head lightly before looking up "Hm? What?"
"Are you looking for adventure?" He asked drawing his words out slightly.
Thinking for a moment she pursed her lips not knowing how to answer "I don't know." She breathed out and placed the amulet in her pocket "I gotta go, my parents might be home right now and I need some time to think. G'night guys." Before she could walk out jim spoke up.
"Wait! I can walk you home"
She smiled lightly and shook her head "no thank you, I need some time alone, see you later guys."
And with that she quickly made her way out of the house, Jim looked at the way she left sadly.
"Man, I feel bad for her" Toby spoke up "She might be in the worst situation right now even worse than yours"
Jim glared at Toby slightly but Toby didn't notice and continued "her amulet is basically using her and she can't do anything to fight back." The sad truth finally crashed down onto jim realising that his friend might be in critical danger.
____________________
The next day...
____________________
The three of them had decided to walk to school together since they had a lot to talk about "so what did you decide?" Toby asked jim as they walked into school.
"Did you make a choice yet?" Elizabeth asked the same question but felt confident enough to to speak.
"That if anyone finds out what happened in my kitchen last night, we'll all be committed" he said sternly to the two, making Elizabeth grasp tightly onto the strap of her bag knowing that if her parents found out they would possibly send her back to the orphanage but she immediately shook the idea off.
Toby shook his head and said while hitting the air around him "I mean about kicking Steve's butt"
Liz gave Toby a serious look and scolded him quietly "you know that none of us are supposed to use our amulets for our own benefit right? And besides Steve isn't a troll"
"Exactly, give up The dream, tobes" he said silencing the idea of using the amulet for his own good but he couldn't help but consider the thought.
His two friends heard the amulet ding from inside his bag and Toby immediately looked into it, "does this thing come with batteries?"
Jim pushed Toby away as he noticed the surrounding people give them suspicious looks "how should I know it didn't come with a manual!"
"Does it feel like your going to, you know, change?"
"Change?" Liz asked quietly.
Jim began to panic slightly "oh, No!" He said to himself.
Toby grabbed both of their hands and dragged them into the boys locker room, Liz tried to pull herself away but this boys will strength is insane.
As soon as they got in jim transformed into his armour and Liz pulled her wrist away from Toby. Which unfortunately triggered her emotions and caused her amulet to immediately transform her.
As she looked down at herself she groaned out frustrated "ugh not again-" Before she could finish the amulet flew onto the centre of her chest and caused her to fall onto her back.
Getting up she was mad at Toby for pulling her into the boys locker room "seriously Tobias, you could have just left me outside to keep watch!"
He laughed nervously twiddling his fingers "sorry, was just on instinct"
She sighed out and tried to pry off her amulet again, Jim was as confused as she was "okay, why did it do that?"
"Jim? Jim, are you in here?"
The three froze as they looked towards the locker room door, Jim and Toby immediately tried to hide Liz as they all panicked. Jim had directed Toby to keep him out of the locker room and started to try and hide Liz.
"What do we do!?" She whispered, intuitively she couldn't wait for an answer so she had decided to hide in the next aisle of lockers and Jim was going to distract Strickler to not find her, yes he was a good friend of his mother's and a good teacher at that but they had to hide the chaos wielder at all costs.
As she hid she heard the conversation between them, Strickler seemed to hide something behind the tone of his voice "Jim I don't believe that's appropriate school attire. Do you? "
Jim tried to act as oblivious as possible of the situation "oh yeah. This. Huh. Funny story about this. It's, uh..." Jim tried to find some excuse for this and immediately got one from the poster behind Strickler "for romeo and Juliet!"
"Yeah! It's for the tryouts!"
"Yes! The tryouts for romeo and Juliet! "
Toby came to his friends support and helped out "Jim's going to totally smoke those auditions."
In the second aisle Liz fought the urge to fall down since the sound of her armour would break her cover, the amulet was draining her of her life force and she couldn't bear it any longer.
Once she heard them all walking out she took that as a chance to finally breath out. Falling, the armour finally came off but the amulet has already done it's work.
Trying to get up she stood up and propped herself up against the lockers to steady herself.
She knew where to go afterwards, the auditions. That's where they would be.
____________
Elizabeth's POV
I walked to the gym where tryouts were held and felt like every movement that seemed so natural to me before was so hard to execute now. When I walked in I fought the urge to just go behind the bleachers and sleep to regain my energy, Instead I sat down next to Eli as we watched Claire audition for Juliet.
Quite amazing if you asked me, I could tell she had a lot of passion for this role. I applauded her performance with every one else but the sound only made this headache worst as I held my head in my hands.
"Hey are you okay?" Eli asked me I gave him the best smile I could give as it was too hard to do anything through the pain, looking towards jim an Toby backstage I noticed that jim was mouthing 'are you okay?' I gave him a thumbs up and nodded my head towards Claire.
I knew about his crush towards her and I could tell that he was scared of auditioning. When jim walked out on stage I noticed Eli gape in awe as he saw Jim's armour, and I placed a hand on his shoulder "hey presentation is not always key Eli, who knows he might have the costume but not the words."
He smiled back at me and we looked back up at the stage where jim stood. For a moment he was looking for the right words to say "destiny is a gift." I gasped when I saw his amulet glow brighter slightly and as did mine in my bag.
I couldn't believe that he used Blinkys wise words, the fact that the words were so strong that they stayed with Jim is amazing, I watched in amazement as I saw him recite the words with passion and power.
It was an amazing sight to see but I felt bad for Eli and the fact that he was less likely to get the role now. I was gonna go congratulate jim but stopped myself when I saw Claire walk over to him. Heh, maybe this can be good for him in a way huh?
I walked away and left the gym because I needed a moment of fresh air. I opened my eyes and saw the same troll from my nightmare standing in the corner making me gasp lightly before shaking my head.
Once I did I saw that he was missing and I could not find him anymore. "Miss Wallis are you alright"
Turning around I saw Strickler gave me a worried look but there was something off about it "no, no, um, I'm fine I just needed some fresh air that's all."
After jim managed to get rid of his armour we rode our bikes back home but I stayed in front of them as I wanted to avoid any conversation, the physical pain subsided but my head was still pounding.
________________
As they rode their bikes Toby began praising his friends audition "Dude! That was amazing! You were amazing! I am amazed at how amazing you were!"
They rode through a road work site with Elizabeth in the lead, Jim expressed his disbelief at how well he did "I can't believe that just happened!"
"And did you see how the chiquita was looking at you? Your armour totally did you a favour!"
Jim chuckled lightly "I'm still getting the hang of it"
Toby remembered Blinkys words "the multi-eye guy said it reacts to your emotional states." He stopped as he tried to steady his bike from falling over "both of your armours turned on when you were in distress."
When they turned the corner they noticed how Elizabeth had stopped moving her bike as she stood their in fear. A loud roar came from the troll they were constantly warned about, Bular. Roaring at them from the shadows where he hid from daylight his intimidating figure horrified them all.
"I might be in distress now," Jim recalled Elizabeth's situation and reminded her "Liz remember! Try to not let your amulet turn on!" He whispered not letting Bular know.
The black troll growled at jim since the trollhunter was his only objective "trollhunter! Merlin's creation... gunmars bane!"
Toby tilted his head towards jim as he spoke "I think he's talking to you."
Elizabeth saw how he couldn't leave the shadows as the light turned his hand to stone "he can't reach us!"
"He's afraid of the sun" Jim added.
"Not for long!" They all looked behind them as the sun began setting, the troll growled and slammed his fist down and caught there attention.
"The amulet! Surrender it and I will give you a speedy death!" He offered.
They couldn't wait any longer and began pedalling as fast as the could away since daylight was no longer around them. They had hid behind a truck and urged jim to quickly transform.
"Armour up! Armour up! Please now faster" Toby urged as he pushed the amulet towards jim.
Jim finally calmed himself down enough to start the incantation "okay, for the glory of Merlin, daylight is mine to command" the amulet refused to respond to him "it's not working!"
"Jim if you don't hurry up I might need to armour up" She offered knowing that she shouldn't.
Jim listened but didn't stop trying "for the glory of Merlin, daylight is mine to command! Seriously! It's mine to command, I'm commanding here!"
They froze as they heard Bular lifting the truck they hid behind above his head "centuries of trollhunters, and I will have killed two in as many days!"
"He's good at math!" Toby screamed in horror before they began riding away again.
As they did Bular grew frustrated and threw the truck towards them, Elizabeth felt something flicker inside of her as she looked back at the truck flying towards them. Skidding to a stop she lifted her hand up and closed her eyes.
The world slowed down around her as her once blue eyes turned into a glowing purple "stop!" The truck froze in its place at her words, and she felt the amulet begin draining her again. Before it could drain her again she threw the truck back at Bular and fell forward onto her bike, her body trembling as she grew colder.
Jim and Toby looked at her with their jaws dropped, but jim saw how Bular easily avoided the truck. "Elizabeth you need to move now!"
She looked back up and with all her strength she caught up to them. Bular smirked before chasing after them, his target was not the chaos wielder it was the trollhunter.
"I will flay the flesh from your bones!"
"I like my bones where they are. Thanks!"
As they continued pedalling quicker jim quickly knew way out "head down delancey!"
They all had managed to pedal behind Stewart electronics and managed to escape by the skin of their teeth. The two boys noticed how weak Elizabeth was getting and finally decided to take a break. Jim got off of his bike and went to check up on Elizabeth who was panting heavily with her head down and shoulders slouched.
"Liz are you okay?" He asked placing both of his hands on her shoulders but she didn't answer as her eyes remained shut.
"Dude! That was amazing you were like "stop!" And the truck literally stopped! How awesome was that... woah." He walked towards her as he noticed her hair turn lighter "Liz your hair it's turning white!"
They heard laughter coming from behind them but Liz tried to sustain what energy she had left "ha ha! Master jim! Lady Eliza- what happened!?" He yelled out as he noticed her weak figure.
Placing his hand on her forehead he pulled away as he noticed how cold it was "what Happened to her?"
Jim didn't want to get her in trouble but he had to help her "she used her powers to save us"
"Is she gonna be okay?"
"Judging by how weak she is we need to take her Vendel! We will talk about her use of chaos later" he said still trying to see if she was showing any consciousness of the world around her.
"Bular he chased us all over town!"
Blinky praised their survival "and all of you survived I knew you had the potential!"
Toby frowned at him "you have a sweet voice.. but you bring death with you!"
"You guys can defeat him right?"
The two trolls laughed lightly but I caused Elizabeth to wince lightly as it caused a piercing noise to echo in her head, Blinky didn't notice that and spoke "I could not hope to possess the skill to defeat Bular."
"What about him?"
"Pacifist." The large troll stated simply.
"Seriously!?"
"Man, such a waste of a hulking brute." Toby emphasised.
"Thank you"
Blinky turned to jim and told him "this why there is a trollhunter, master jim."
Jim pursed his lips before turning back towards Elizabeth "Liz can you hear me? Please, say something!" She still remained quiet. behind her jim saw Bular run towards them and he quickly called out to aaarrrgghh "aaarrrrgghh is it okay if you carried her?"
The troll nodded his head and picked her up placing her on his back, the two boys quickly began pedalling away following Blinky "follow me! We will be safe in heart stone trollmarket!"
They kept moving but Toby fell off of his bike from an electricity tower falling in front of him. Aaarrrrgghh quickly grabbed him and placed Toby next to the unconscious Liz.
Toby held on and placed a hand on Elizabeth's back supporting her weight and making sure she doesn't fall "come on Liz! Wake up, wake up!"
They ran into the woods and Jim kept trying to turn on his amulet "master jim, don you armour!"
"I've been trying the amulet won't listen to me!"
"Did you speak the incantation?!"
Jim yelled back "I've been incanting the crap out of it, it's not working!"
Toby shouted at jim to "just focus and incant dude!"
They all went down into the canals while Jim got off of his bike and grabbed his amulet "Uh, for the glory of Merlin, daylight is mine to command!" He incanted while panicking.
He calmed himself as he watched Bular run towards him "for the glory of Merlin, daylight is mine to command." With that final incantation jim had finally managed to transform, and to his luck it protected him from the punch that was coming towards him.
Flying back into the canals he readied himself with his sword in hand. The rest had been under the bridge trying to open the door to troll market, Blinky encouraged jim to use his sword. While Toby had been giving odd examples as to how.
Elizabeth woke up and saw how jim was struggling to face Bular, anger fuelled her mind and she felt as if that anger wasn't even hers. Her body disappeared into thin air and appeared again beside Toby and blinkous.
Pulling her amulet from her pocket she incanted the incantation, blinkous immediately grabbed her hand and pushed it away from her line of vision "lady Elizabeth no! You are to weak!" She growled at him and glared with her purple glowing eyes.
He gasped and backed away from her "by the power of Merlin' chaos is mine to wield!"
She disappeared again and appeared in front of Bular who was charging towards jim with his sword above his head. When he lowered it she lifted her hand and kneeled as she tried to use her energy to push him back as she struggled, his eyes widened as the purple energy made its way towards him and distracted him for a moment so she could push him away.
With a final smirk, she gathered a ball of purple energy in her hand blasting him away from the canals. A smug look covered her features as she looked at where he had disappeared to, her eyes flickered back to blue as she fought back the thing that had power over her.
"Elizabeth! You shouldn't have done that!" He shouted at her grabbing her arm. She looked at him confused.
"Done what!?"
A roar was heard again and Jim grabbed her hand as the ran towards the gate "we will talk about that later!"
Bular chased after them and shouted "you will pay for that chaos wielder!"
They barely made it as they slipped through the portal. Jim's armour disappeared but Elizabeth's remained as they finally managed to take a breather jim grew angry "what were you thinking!?" He asked Elizabeth who still remained to be confused.
"Again what are you talking about?" Her voice calm compared to his.
"Lady Elizabeth it seems that your powers reached an all time high today, you stopped a flying truck and overpowered Bular" he explained to her gently because he understood what she was going through "and master jim, she doesn't remember anything because she wasn't the one who did it."
"Wait, what?" Jim asked his anger fading away.
"All will be explained in due time, come along now." He said walking down a stairway of glowing gemstones, they all looked at it in amazement as they began to form.
"This way please".
