"Let's go off script," you say. "We'll upset Control Freak and get him to arrange the kiss scene with you, Starfire and him."

"Rorek?!"

"You'll obviously go after his remote," you say.

"Oh, that's true. But, how're we going off script?"

"Burst in through the door while the goth McTarry girls work to undress me again. We can ad-lib from there."

She nods and hurries off set again.

"Okay, let's get going," Control Freak says with a clap. "We don't have all day!"

You grumble as everyone takes their positions.

"Action!" Control Freak shouts.

The goth girl replacements seductively undress you again as you repeat the scene. They remove your jacket, and you glance over at the door. Anytime now, Raven...

Off come your shirt, and still no Raven McTarry. Next come your pants...!

*CLAMK* The doors fly open and in walks Raven.

"M'lady," the goth McTarrys say, confused the same way M, Ransome, Smernov and Le Grand were.

"Oh c'mon!" Control Freak blurts.

Raven ignores his protests and walks right over to you. She looks you up and down as she circles you.

"Why did you wait so long?" you whisper.

"More dramatic, and less clothing," she smirks.

She then looks to the goth McTarry girls.

"Leave us," she says to them.

"Y-Yes, m'lady," they both say with a nervous bow.

"Hey!" Control Freak says. "No! This is not in the script."

"The script is crap," Raven says, scowling at him over her shoulder. "Your audience might actually enjoy this."

As the music starts, there's this softening filter happening as Raven dreamily looks into your eyes. Rather fitting for the song, really.

She presses against you, pushing you towards the luxurious couch.

"H-Hey...!" Control Freak says. "I didn't cue the music or the lighting! I'm in charge here!"

You fall back onto the cushions and throw pillows as Raven slinks on top of you.

"This still fits in the script a little bit, doesn't it?" she says. "Agent Mimi falls for Bond, and she helps him stand against SMERSH."

"How did you know that?"

"I read ahead," she smiles. "Plus, it always happens with Bond."

You chuckle, and then Raven moves your scarf aside to kiss you on the lips.

"No! Stop!" Control Freak says, sounding flustered. "This isn't where the kiss goes!"

Raven kisses you deeper, matching the energy building in the song. You return it, moving from lips to chin to neck.

"S-Stop...!" Control Freak says, his voice weaker.

Raven stops your kisses as she takes your face in her hand. She has you look up at her, though a bit upside-down, and you two lock eyes again. She slides down to kiss you passionately on the lips, and you hear Control Freak let out a rather strange whining sound.

"Th-th-th-that's enough!" he manages to say. "It's time for MY kiss scene!"

He presses a button on a remote, and suddenly Starfire appears, dressed in a tight costume.

"Oh, my friends!" she says, happy to see the two of you. "I am-- Oh, were you in the middle of something?"

"I see you made her The Detainer," you say to Control Freak. "A good choice, to be honest."

Raven gives you a smack in the chest.

Control Freak walks in, now in a silk robe and slippers, and perhaps only the robe and slippers... He uses mouth wash to freshen his breath, spitting it into a mug with the words "#1 Freak" on the side.

"Alright, ladies," he says with a grin. "Time for our close up~!"

"Control Freak," Starfire growls. "What do you mean 'our' close up?"

"We're supposed to kiss him now," Raven says as she gets up.

Starfire gasps and makes the same disgusted face from before. Raven calms her down, and Control Freak walks over to stand between the two of them.

"Start that song from the top!" he says to his crew.

The Look of Love starts over, and he stands up as tall as he can besides the taller Starfire and Raven.

"When you're ready, ladies," he says.

Starfire and Raven reluctantly move in closer. They inch in closer and closer to his mutton chop cheeks, growing more and more disgusted.

"NOW!" Raven shouts.

She and Starfire both slam their forearms into Control Freak's fat cheeks!

"OWM!!" he says through squished mouth.

"Grab his remote!" Raven shouts.

They both go for his right hand, which holds the remote, and pull.

"Let go!" Raven says as she uses a foot to push Control Freak away.

"It's on a strap!" he shouts as he holds up his right hand. "I learned my lesson about letting one of my remotes go. And now..."

He struggles against the pushing and shoving from Raven and Starfire to press another of the many buttons. In flashes of television static, famous Bond villains from the good Bond movies appear!

"Had that one up your sleeve, did you?" you say to Control Freak as you stand up from the couch. "Oh, speaking of sleeves..."

You redress before fighting

A) Odd Job
B) Jaws
C) Mr. Hinx

You go at the sturdy Korean man with bowler hat while Raven and Starfire break off from Control Freak to fight Jaws and Mr. Hinx.

"This man has the metal teeth!" Starfire says in surprise.

"So then don't let him bite you!" Raven says as she jumps over and around the beefy Dave Batista.

Odd Job throws his killer hat! You lean back and it flies over you. It hits one of the naked lady statues in the room, breaking it in half, then Odd Job barrels into you with his entire body! He runs right into you and sends you flying back to the couch!

"Pillow fight!" you say as you throw a cushion.

*POOMF* The cushion hits Odd Job in the face and sticks, and you hurry over the back of the couch. You manage to lift the couch and carry it as you charge at him. He stands firm and pivots to throw you off while also throwing the couch aside. You jump at him again, punching away at his stomach, but he's so solid, it's as if he doesn't even feel it.

"This is a bit like when you fought Sean Connery Bond in Goldfinger, huh?" you ask him.

He simply chuckles and grins, then grabs your shoulders to headbutt you! You stagger backwards and knock over more statues of women.

"Sorry, ladies," you say as you wobble back to your feet.

Odd Job stomps his way over to you, you get up and chuck one of the smaller statues at him. He catches it as easy as if you threw him a sleeping bag and tosses it aside just the same. You glance over and see Raven and Starfire have the same problems with Mr. Hinx and Jaws.

"This is going to be a real bother if they have to be defeated the same way their were in their respective Bond films," you say.

"Why's that?" Raven asks.

"Because with Odd Job, it took a massive amount of electricity, which electrocuted him. As in, dead."

"That does sound like a problem in here," Raven says as she looks around.

"How did Bond defeat the metal teeth man?" Starfire asks.

"Oh, shoot, I forgot Jaws doesn't die," you say. "In The Spy Who Loved Me, Jaws survives an Egyptian structure's collapse on top of him, being hit by a van, being thrown from a rapidly moving train, a battle underwater with a shark, and the destruction of Stromberg's lair. When he returns in Moonraker, he survives a crash through a building inside a runaway cable car-- Wait, that's it!"

"What's it?!" the girls say.

"We need to introduce Jaws to Dolly, the girl who helps him out of the rubble of the cable car crash. They fall in love, and he reforms into a hero. Mostly because Bond points out Hugo Drax would categorically eliminate all human life that doesn't fit his physical ideals, but that's besides the point."

"So if we get the remote," Raven says, "we can summon Dolly and get Jaws on our side!"

"As well as summon Robin, Cyborg and Beast Boy from wherever Control Freak is keeping them," Starfire adds.

"Exactly," you say. "But until then, we need to hold off the hulking henchmen."

A) You and Raven VS the henchmen
B) You and Starfire VS the henchmen
C) Starfire and Raven VS the henchmen

"I'm sure you ladies can handle this," you say. "So if you'll excuse me."

"Seriously?!" Raven says as you slide past Odd Job.

Jaws and Mr. Hinx come in, and the three corner the girls. However, Starfire swings one of the statues and backs them off.

You turn around and find Control Freak cowering behind a movie camera. You push it aside and he lets out a yelp.

"Gimme that remote!" you say as you reach for it.

"No!" he whines. "It's mine!"

You go after his arm as he crawls on the ground. He struggles against you, but he's more flab than muscle so you pull back that arm and now fuss with the strap.

"Stop!" he whines. "You guys, help me!"

Neither Odd Job, Jaws, nor Mr. Hinx stop fighting Raven and Starfire, who are holding their own using the swords from the coat of arms.

"Seems if you aren't Hugo Drax or Auric Goldfinger, they won't listen to you," you say. "Now, if you'd kindly let me use your remote."

You kick him in his side, then take the strap off around his wrist.

"Now which one of these buttons is the ones we need?" you ask as you look at the controller. "There's a dozen more buttons on this thing than I expected."

None of the buttons are labelled, so apparently Control Freak just knows them by heart. At least they're still in rows of three. You take a chance and press the middle button of the second row.

Another flash of TV static as someone new is summoned. As the form takes shape, it's young Blanche Ravalec, the actress who played Dolly!

"Jaws! Jaws!" you shout. "Look! It's Dolly!"

Jaws turns around, and locks eyes with Dolly. The two step closer to each other, and then he takes her comparitively smaller hands in his.

"So then," you say to him, "perhaps you'll help us stop 'The Director' here? After all, he's plotting to make the world his own personal entertainment. But he'll only cast those he seems worthy, and by 'cast', I mean 'treat well'. He'll likely imprison or even cull those he has no need for. And seeing as how Dolly wasn't here to start..."

Jaws contemplates what you're saying as he looks down at Dolly.

"What're you doing?!" Control Freak asks in a panic.

"Well, this is a Bond film," you say. "You're the villain, and every Bond villain has a massive and convoluted world domination scheme. I just came up with yours."

"It does suit me..." Control Freak says with his hand rubbing his chin.

Jaws growls as he stomps over to Control Freak, which returns Control Freak to his panic.

"Tell me the buttons to get out of this, or Jaws will use you for chewing gum," you say.

"Okay, okay!" he says. "You'll bring the other Titans back with the third button on the bottom row."

You put your finger above the button on the bottom right. You press it, and more static as Robin, Cyborg and Beast Boy return, and you see they're also in costume.

"I see you made Beast Boy play Woody Allen's part," you say. "To think you'd make him the villain, wanting to eliminate all men taller than him so that all the women in the world would settle for him."

"Seriously?!" Beast Boy says. "I'm the bad guy?!"

"As revenge for when you trapped me in the Zero Dimension!" Control Freak barks. "It was so cramped in there!"

"Just tell us which button gets us all back to where we belong," you say.

"The big button at the top, obviously."

"I suppose that makes sense," you say as you look at the remote again.

You press the big button, and everything starts to turn into static.
---

"Well, here's to us," Jaws says to Dolly.

"Aw, his only line ever," you say.

Things blip out, and then you, the Titans and Control Freak return to reality, in the Titan Tower's Ops, and back in normal attire.

"Never a dull moment with you lot, is there?" you say as Robin cuffs Control Freak.

After the authorities take Control Freak away, again, everyone returns to the table and your meals.

"These will need reheating," you say as you prepare Heat magic. "And I think we can skip watching a movie, and instead..."

A) Play cards
B) Play a board game

A) Play cards

---

A

"Play cards. We can play Animals. It's for up to eight players, and is a variation on Snap."

"Wait, what's Snap?" Raven asks.

"Snap is where you place cards down face up, and when two consecutive cards match, like a two of clubs and a two of spades, you have to shout 'Snap!' and then you win the pile. The last person with cards wins."

"Okay, so then how does Animals work?" Beast Boy asks.

"We each choose an animal," you say, "and then the cards are dealt but face-up. The trick is to remember who is what animal. If your top card matches someone else's, you need to shout their animal's name to win their cards. We play until all 52 have been dealt, the one with the most cards wins."

"Yeah, we can do that," Raven chuckles. "But let's be sure to eat first, we might make a mess shouting with our mouths full."

"Of course," you say as you finish warming all the stir-fry meals back up. "Let's dig in."

Everyone eats their dinner while watching more baseball on the television. This time, the Jump City Jackrabbits are playing against the Wichita Scarecrows.

"Bottom of the ninth," the commentator says. "The Jackrabbits are down four to three, this could be their last chance. The wind up, and the pitch. ... Strike three! Caballero swings with all his might but misses that change-up."

"Aw..." you and the Titans groan.

"Well, on to our game, then," you say as you scoop up more rice. "Who has cards?"

"Got some right here," Cyborg says as he opens the pack. "Let's pick the animals while I shuffle."

"Dibs on dog!" Beast Boy says.

"I shall be a cat," Starfire says.

"I'll go with pig," Robin says.

"I'll go with bull, myself," Cyborg says.

"I'll be a spider," Raven says.

"Kangaroo," you smirk.

"Kangaroo?" the others say.

"The more syllables, the more difficult to shout in time," you say.

"Ah man, no fair," Beast Boy says. "Let's do the animals over."

"Or at least change yours to be one syllable," Raven says.

"Says the one who chose 'spider'," Robin points out.

"Fine, I'll be flea," she says.

"I'll go with mouse," you say.

"Okay, now we can start dealing the cards," Cyborg says.

Cyborg deals himself a 10, then a Queen for Beast Boy, Seven fo Starfire, Nine for Robin, Eight for you, and a Two for Raven. Then the second time through begins, Cyborg another Ten, Beast Boy an Ace, Starfire another Seven, Robin an Ace!

"DOG!" "PIG!"

"That was a close one," you say. "We should address draws as no one getting new cards. Let's keep going."

You're dealt a Ten!

"MOUSE!"
"BULL! Dang it!"

You give up your cards to Cyborg. Raven receives a Three and then the cycle starts again. Cyborg is dealt a Seven--

"BULL!" "CAT!"

"Ho ho ho...!" Cyborg says. "Almost had me there."

Beast Boy receives a King, Starfire a Five, Robin a Four, you start anew with a Jack and Raven gets a Six. Cyborg deals a Five--

"BULL!"
"CAT dang it."

Cyborg gives Starfire all the cards he's gotten. Then it resumes, Beast Boy gets a Two, Starfire a Three, Robin a Ten, you a Nine, and Raven a Queen. Then Cyborg gets a Seven, Beast Boy a Three--

"DOG! "CAT!"

Starfire gets a King, Robin a Five, you a Two, and Raven a Nine. Cyborg a Queen, Beast Boy a Four, Starfire a Jack, Robin an Eight, you a King, Raven an Eight--

"FLEA!" "PIG!"

"Another draw," you say. "Maybe we need to adjust the rules?"

"How would we do that?" Starfire asks.

"Just simple Rock Paper Scissors," you say. "It'll be easy enough."

Cyborg keeps dealing, and he gets a Jack, Beast Boy a Four, Starfire a Queen, Robin a Nine, you a King, and Raven a Two. Cyborg gets the last Four!

"BULL!"

"DOG! Noooo!"

Beast Boy laughs as he gets Cyborg's few cards. The dealing continues and Beast Boy receives the final Five, Starfire a Six, Robin a Six--

"PIG!"
"CAT!"

Robin gives over his cards. You get an Ace, Raven the last Jack.

After this many rounds, Starfire has a substantial lead on everyone. Cyborg keeps going, and deals himself the last Six!

"BULL!" "CAT!"

"Tie!" Cyborg shouts. "Rock, Paper, Scissors, SHOOT!"

He plays Rock, she plays Scissors.

"YES!" he shouts as he gets her huge stack of cards.

Beast Boy gets the last Eight, Starfire the last Three, Robin the last Ace!

"MOUSE!"
"PIG! Bullocks!"

You give up your cards...

"There, there," Raven chuckles. "But that's all the cards anyway, right?"

"Yep!" Cyborg says. "And I win!"

"Hooray~!" Starfire cheers for him. "I am glad for your victory, even though it was at my defeat."

"Wanna play again?" he asks the group.

A) Yes

"Let's change up games," you say. "We should try Spoons."

"I dunno, that might get a little full contact," Robin says.

"Wait you've played Spoons before?"

"Yeah, we had to patch up a wall and replace the kitchen counter," Raven says.

"Then we can play it outside," you say. "And we have these plastic spoons from our Thai food, so we don't have to risk silverware."

"That's true," Robin says. "Let's go to the roof, then."

You six bring five of the plastic spoons to the stairs. Cyborg brings one of the fold-out tables up with him and you set up in the middle of the volleyball court. You all sit down for the new shuffle.

"Let's agree on the details first," Robin says. "Spoons is based on Pig, so we'll play it as Pig without the stock pile, so we'll just stick to discarding to our right."

Everyone nods and Cyborg again deals cards. You get your four, and you have three Queens and a Nine. Obviously you're going to go for the Queens.

"Ready?" Cyborg says. "Go!"

You all start passing the cards very quickly. You send the Nine, then an Ace, then a Jack, then another Ace, then a Ten, then another Jack, and Cyborg snatches a spoon!

Everyone scrambles, and the spoons go flying as the table scoots about a meter to one side. You reach for a spoon but between Beast Boy transforming into a monkey, Robin's acrobatic agility, and both girls using flight to swoop them up, you just end up on the asphault.

"Ouch," Raven chuckles. "You okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine," you say while on the ground. "I suppose we were doing sudden death rules, yes? One strike and you're out."

"Yeah, that's the usual way we play it," Robin says.

"Well," you say as you stand up and dust yourself off. "Seeing as how I've been eliminated, I'm going to go check on the laundry. See you all in a few minutes."

"See you in a bit," Raven says as she and the others reset the table.

You go back downstairs, then down a floor with the elevator. The dryers are down, so you empty out your whites and darks but into one basket now. You see Beast Boy's load in the washing machine is done, so you take care of the transfer for him; you use magic to move the laundry, though.

You put a fabric softener sheet in there for his various greens, and start the dryer for an hour. You return to the top floor and go to your room to pack your freshly cleaned clothes. You also secure your gifts for your father, and have everything ready for the morning.

You head back up to the roof, and see another scramble for spoons. Beast Boy, even as a dog, misses out on a spoon and therefore is eliminated.

"Beast Boy, down," Robin says as Dog Beast Boy keeps jump up for a spoon. "Down."

"Beast Boy," Raven says. "You want the spoon? Yeah, you want the spoon?"

Dog Beast Boy sees Raven holding up her spoon and gets excited.

"You want the spoon?" she says. "Fetch!"

She throws the spoon, and Beast Boy goes chasing it. But then she reveals she never through it at all while Beast Boy searches for it in the corner.

"Hey...!" he says as he transforms back. "No fair, you never actually threw it."

"Blah blah blah," Raven says. "Next round."

Beast Boy grumbles.

"Don't worry about it, Beast Boy," you say with a pat on his shoulder. "At least you're only the second one out."

"Yeah, I guess," he shrugs. "I'll go take care of my laundry now."

"Oh don't worry about that," you say. "I put it all in the dryer for your."

"Oh thanks dude," he smiles. "In that case, I'm going for dessert."

He heads downstairs, and you watch as the other Titans reorganize the table, cards and spoons. They deal out cards and start passing them to the right. You stand behind Raven and see she's after Queens. And after half a dozen rotations, she snags a spoon!

The others scramble while Raven gets clear. She walks over and you give her a high-five while Robin and Starfire are too quick for Cyborg.

"Aww..." he groans as they hold up their spoons in victory. "Guess I'll go see what BB's having..."

He mopes down the stairs while the others prepare for another round. Robin deals for them now that Cyborg is out, and everyone starts passing cards. They don't go as long before Starfire scoops a spoon. Robin is on the other spoon right away, leaving Raven eliminated.

"Dang it," she says.

"Let us know who wins," you say to Starfire and Robin as Raven walks over. "We're going to finish up our training review."

You two head back downstairs and to the lift. Before pressing the button, you decide Raven should review her

A) Druidic and Nature magics
B) Transformation magic
C) Alchemy and Autonomy magics

"Hold on a moment," you say. "Let me get my Alchemy supplies, and maybe we should get one of your stuffed animals."

"Yeah, that sounds good," she says.

She goes to her room while you go to yours. You bring your knapsack while Raven brings Domo-kun.

"By the way, are you going to bring any of those with you on the trip?" you ask.

"I dunno," she says. "Maybe."

"Alright, well, we can start while we ride the elevator down to the training room. Focus on Domo-kun as you put in the mind-stone."

"I know, I know," Raven says as you hand her the little blue rock. "And I'll chant 'Vitae' over and over as I put in mana."

"Precisely," you say.

She slips the stone into the top of Domo-kun's head which is also his body. She mutters "Vitae" over and over as the mana pours in. After a few moments, Domo-kun starts moving, wiggling his nubby arms and legs.

"Aww...!" Raven smiles as she holds him up. "Alright, settle down."

She sits him on her shoulder and he calms down his wiggly limbs.

"Now, combining an offense of an Autonomous servant, Summon constructs, and Druidic Spirits is a very high level of tactics and overall abilities. If you manage to have all those, you give yourself a great advantage over just about any opponent."

"Makes sense," she says. "It's like chess, with the pawns, knights, bishops and rooks helping protect the king. Except I'm like both the King and Queen combined because I can actually fight back."

"Yes, a very good way of thinking about it," you say. "Some Autonomy duels of legend played a lot like a chess game, with golems assigned limited movements and such. Makes it more exciting when the pieces are much bigger."

"Sounds like 'Wizard Chess' from Harry Potter."

"Yes, that's a rather curious connection," you say. "No one has admitted to sharing any records with Rowling."

Raven chuckles.

"What's so funny?" you ask.

"What do you mean? This is like how you joked with Beast Boy about the term 'muggles'."

"It's actually not a joke this time," you say. "We were all surprised when we saw her idea for living chess pieces."

"Wow. But, wait. There's no way stuffed animals can survive something like that. Do you just end up using a ton of stuff to repair them?"

"Well that's where Alchemy comes in," you say. "Using Alchemy Transmutation, you can grant whatever effigies you give autonomy to different traits than what they were made with. For example, you could make Domo-kun go from a soft and fluffy toy into a dense metal golem."

"Sweet!" she says. "So we're going to do that?"

"Certainly," you say. "And to test your ability to coordinate an Autonomous servant and a Summon construct simultaneously, we can have them..."

"Spar against other servants and constructs. I'll Summon up a few wolves and have them go against Domo-kun and whatever constructs you wish to Summon. We'll be the players behind our pieces. The goal will be to tag the other player even once."

"Does the winner get anything as a prize?" she asks.

"Nope, just the satisfaction of victory. Now, we should first prepare Domo-kun for battle."

"Right," she nods. "I'll create a Transmutation circle."

She kneels down and uses her aura to draw the circle on the floor. She then has Domo-kun walk into the center, and begins infusing her mana. She closes her eyes to focus, and Domo-kun goes from being made of soft fabric into shiny steel.

"Excellent," you say. "Now let's see if he can move."

"Oh, that's a good point," she says. "Domo-kun, walk."

Domo-kun moves his stubby leg, and takes a step. He walks a bit slowly, his metal feet making tapping sounds as he goes.

"Awesome," she says. "Bring on your wolves."

You create four wolves, while Raven creates a bear and a raven. You have your little pack spread out while Raven sends her bird into the air. You're impressed to see she's already using an eye in the sky.

From Raven's current formation, her bear is obviously for defending herself, leaving her raven and Domo-kun for offense. Domo-kun walks on his stubby legs towards you, so you put a wolf in its path. The other three wolves go after Raven, and as expected, her bear helps fight them off. Domo-kun soldiers forward, even as your wolf smacks him around with his paws.

Raven's raven swoops in, but you dodge with a roll. You keep an eye on it as it flies back up. You can hear Domo-kun's tapping footsteps. He isn't able to stop your wolf from slapping him around, but he's quite the persistent servant.

You whistle, and one of the three wolves drops back from attacking Raven's bear. It turns around and hurries over to intercept Domo-kun. The two wolves you have against him chomp down on his stubby arms, and try to lift him, but his new metal casing makes him heavier than they can handle. At the very least, the two are slowing him down.

Raven's raven swoops in at you again, but you manage to duck under. As for Raven herself, she stays close to her bear as it swats away the wolves. You get the wolves to flank them, and Raven sees she'll be forced to deal with one of them.

Raven calls her raven back to her, and it intercepts one wolf while the bear handles the other. With your other wolves holding Domo-kun back, you move around to flank Raven yourself.

"I should've made more Summon constructs when I had the chance," Raven says. "I underestimated your skill with this kind of stuff."

"I'll pretend not to take offense," you say. "But don't forget, we are as much pieces on this chess board as our constructs and servants."

"Right, we're the Kings," Raven says.

"Which means," you say, "Arcana Melleo!"

You fire a blunt blast at Raven, and she ducks behind her bear again.

"Arcana Melleo!" she replies, firing her own at you.

You evade while moving your wolves to flank Raven again. She sends her raven at you but you roll away again. She fires more Melleo at you, but you shoot them down with your own. The raven does another dive bomb, you duck under, but it stops itself with flapping. It wildly flaps around your head, you have to crouch and roll to avoid it touching you.

You bring a wolf off Raven's bear to be by your side. Raven's raven swoops in but your wolf leaps up and snaps at it with its fangs. The raven stays back while the wolf keeps its eyes on it.

Raven's bear slams both front paws down but your wolf dodges by slipping underneath, then up and around. Your wolf climbs onto the bear and bites at its neck, but the bear stands up to then slam backwards onto the wolf! The bear rolls and pins the wolf to the ground with a paw, neutralizing it.

"Arcana Gemini, Melleo!" Raven shouts.

She fires two more blasts at you, but you and your wolf get clear. Her raven swoops in as you're stopping, and you have no chance of evading now! But your wolf leaps up and snatches the bird with its jaws!

"Darn it!" Raven says. "I thought I had you."

"And now I have you!" you say.

The wolf with the raven in its mouth charges at Raven, with you close behind. Raven's bear is too busy holding down the other wolf, so she's defenseless.

"No fair!" she pouts as she jumps out of the way of the wolf. "And I feel like there's some weird metaphor with how that white wolf caught the raven and is basically eating it..."

"Worry less about metaphors and more about the game," you say. "Arcana Melleo!"

You sling the blunt energy to ricochet off the ground, and Raven leans back to evade it. Your wolf comes back around, even with the raven flapping its wings in his face. You're its eyes, so it doesn't matter as you guide it around behind her. She glances back and forth between you and the wolf as you two creep in closer. Then you see a spark of realization on her face!

She reaches a hand out and you look in that direction. She grabs Domo-kun with her aura, and pulls him in your direction, your wolves included! You have them release Domo-kun and then run behind it. Domo-kun flies in at you, you duck down, and Raven catches Domo-kun in her arms.

"Full Metal Domo!" she shouts as she propels him with an Arcana blast!

"Whoa!" you let out as you drop to the floor.

Domo-kun flies overhead, but Raven runs past your wolves and slides at you! You move to get up, but she sticks out her foot, and it gets you right in the face, sticking there like you're gum on her shoe. You can hear Raven holding in her laughter as you gently brush her foot aside.

"Guess I win," she shrugs.

"That you do," you say as you two stand up.
