Walt groaned as he woke up.
"Da. Da?"
"I'm fine, Young Atlas."
Fine was on overstatement. He was sore all over and would definitely be hurting the next day. Walt looked around as he sat up.
Jim was kneeling next to him, eyeing Gunra under the collapsed bridge. The massive trolles was still nocked out. Bular was fussing over Bagdwella who was fussing right back. There was no sight of Elizabeth or Nomura. The whelp was shaking the dust out of his ruf. Otto was curled around one of the pillars, eyes distant. Blinky and Arrrgh were begging to come around. Barbara was with Draal who-
"Draal!" Both father and soon sprinted over to thier friend.
Draal blinked blearily at them and smiled cheekily, "I'd hand you the amulet but..."
"He's going to be fine," Barbara assured them, "I'm going to make sure Otto is Ok."
Jim put a hand on the crumpled grey arm with morbid fascination.
"I'm sure that, between the blacksmith and Vendal, you'll be good as new by tomorrow," Walt assured Draal, picking up the amulet.
"VVe need to get out of here," Otto nodded over at Gunra as he and Barbara arroached, "But zere's only vvone vvay out."
Jim looked down into the sewer hatch at the rushing water, "Nope. Not gonna happen. I gotta kiss Claire later! I do not want to smell like Mum's cooking."
Barbara shot here son a glare. They all jumped as Gunra sturred and growled.
"She'll get used to it," Jim shrugged and jumped into the water.
The rest of the family dived in after him. They struggled against the current until they were spit into the canal. The trolls crawled up onto the edge of the canal over the entrence to their city. Barbara and Otto helped Jim swim to shore.
"Where *cough* where's Da?" Jim looked around.
It was Otto who spotted the Trollhunter. The wave that spat them all out had thrown him up onto the underside of the bridge. Bular nearly jumped forward to catch him when Walt managed to hoist himself up onto the steel structure.
Walt knelt, catching his breath, before standing and waving at his family. Barbara and Jim waved back before looks of terror spread over thier faces. Bagdwella and Jim screamed. Walter gulped and, donning his armor, turned just in time to see Gunra take a shaking step twords him.
She swung her sword down at him. Walt managed to hold her off with the edge of Daylight but was driven to his knees by the force. He didn't hesitate to kick Gunra in the chest and lept from beam to bea, using his wings to make the larger gaps. He stopped no turned, breathing heavily. Gunra had vanished!
Somthing slammed into his back and shoved him into a side beam, pinning his wings behind him. Gunra lifted him off the ground and snarled. Walt clawed at her fingers futily.
"My baby brother may have gone soft," Gunra sneared, "But I assure you, Trollhunter, I will only become stronger by your death. You will never be anything more than a useless impure."
"You'd be amazed how versatile I can be," Walt growled, attempting to recall Daylight.
She flung him off the bridge and into the sunlight. Walt toppled into the rushing water below. Gunra roared victoriously as the rest of the Trollhunter team cried out in fear.
"You forget one thing Gunra!"
Gunra froze and turned. Walt smirked as he hovered, just out of her reach.
"I'm immune to sunlight!"
Gunra snarled and lept at him. A single slash of Daylight and she stopped, snarl frozen on her stone face. The deap slash in her chest spreading grey over her. Unbalanced, she toppled forward. Threw the sunlight and into the water below.
Walt watched as Gunra fell before he turned and glided over to his family. He was tackled to the ground as they all rushed to hug him. Suddenly, Jim gasped.
Gunra lept out of the water at them. Arrrgh lept forward and smashed her with a single punch.
"Arrrrgh!" Otto gasped, "Your vows!"
The Kubera put a hand on Blinky's shoulder, "Family more important. All of it."
Bagdwella rubbed Bular's arm as he stared at his sister. Walt climbed back to his feet.
"I'm sorry, Bular," He began, "Th-"
"Don't be," Bular looked away and put an arm around Bagdwella, "She was threatening our families. And, as Argumond...Arrrgh...said. This family is more important. I am ready to take my vows now."
"Speaking of family," Jim looked around, "Where's Aunt Nono? I didn't see her run off with that other Polymorph lady."
Otto hung hiss head, "VVe...I lost her...she vvas sucked into ze bridge. I'm sorry, VValt, JJim. I tried but-"
"You should have tried harder!" Jim shouted.
Tears rolled down his cheeks and his lips shook. Otto reeled back.
"Jim? Baby?" Barbara put a hand on his shoulder.
"She...she'sgone," Jim cracked, "Aunt Nono's...gone."
Barbara pulled him in and rubbed his back as he cried. Otto shook and bowed his head.
"I'm sorry, Kleine Flaedermous," he choked, "I almost had her but...she...she slipped a-avvay."
Walt pulled his brother close and shook his head. Otto pressed the heels of his hands into his eyes as he sobbed.
"It will be ok," Barbara assured, "I know it hurts but...it will get better."
"Hey," Walt pulled Otto's hands away from his eyes, "Your going to hurt your eyes doing that. Then you won't be able to read the sheet music anymore."
"And you will have red eyes in the play if you keep these water works up," Barbara tried to cheer her son up.
Jim gasped, "Oh no! Th-the play! I'm going to be late!"
"Barbara! Take Jim and Otto to the play," Walt said, straitening Otto's glasses, "I'll meet you there before intermission!"
The other three nodded and scrambled up the side of the canal. The water sooon began to recede and Walt led the Trollhunters back into Tollmarket to wrap everything up with Vendal.
