All right Sally fans, here's our beloved rag-doll, Sally making an epic entrance! Now you'll get to see Sally jump into the action instead of staying on the side lines (Because a rag-doll in a fight could look pretty cool).

Once again, sorry the chapters are so short, but I'm pretty good at uploading chapters frequently (You probably got the first four chapters already)

I don't own the characters of TNBC, they belong to Tim Burton. I only own my OC'S and the plot line (of THIS story).


Chapter 4: The Flimsy Assassin

The Mayor had just come into the room when Torako announced that her sister was coming, and she couldn't have said worse.

"Y-your sister, 'The Red Dragonfly' is coming?" The Mayor asked.

Jack stood there confused and looked at the Mayor. "The Red Dragonfly?" Jack asked, "What's the story behind that?"

The Mayor looked at Jack, with a grave expression on his face, "The Red Dragonfly-"

"Call her Sally!" Torako interrupted.

The Mayor growled at her and continued speaking. " 'Sally' is Torako's sister and she's also an immensely powerful witch. When the two of them are within a 50ft. circumference of each other, their magic begins to activate, and the closer they are the stronger it gets."

"Oh," Jack said, "Is that why you haven't tried to escape, Torako, because Sally isn't nearby?"

Torako grinned, "You're pretty smart, Girly-man! But don't underestimate us, just because we don't have magic that doesn't mean we can't defend ourselves." Then Torako gasped, she felt a small spark of magic in her.

"What's wrong?" Jack asked.

Torako turned her head towards Jack and the Mayor, giving her wicked smile which sent chills up both their spines. "My sister's coming. You better watch out Girly-man!"

It was just after sunset and it was already dark. The citizens of Kuroko were busy rushing through the gates of the walled city to ensure that they were on the inside when the bridge went up.

Sally was standing on a rocky cliff overlooking the town. She was dressed differently now. She looked more like a witch. She wore a long red dress with two black stripes that ran down from her neck to the bottom of the dress, where the two stripes split and ran back up to her neck on the backside. She also wore a red witch hat with a black brim and a black belt that held a black cloth which ran down to her knees. Long black boots and striped red and black socks.

Sally heard a creaking noise towards the town and saw the bridge to the town close up. "Shoot…" She thought, "It's going to be a lot harder to get into that town now." She extended her mechanical dragonfly wings, which had a hole in one of them. She got it when someone tried to shoot her and hit her wing instead. Sally never knew why she had those wings, but then again she didn't have any memories of her past at all. All she remembers is meeting Torako and adopting her as her sister, and the two of them have been together ever since.

And that's why Sally was furious. Every time the two of them went into the town, the citizens always tried to separate them, but this was the first time one of them got hurt.

Sally remembered the man, who shot Torako, and she was thirsty for revenge, but there was something that was something about that man that was familiar. Something that made her feel warm and fuzzy inside. But Sally brushed aside those feelings, she has work to do.

Sally reached into her pocket and pulled out a wooden red flute with hidden power and a mask preparing her for battle. She put on the mask which looked like something Princess Monnonoke would wear, but only covered one side of her face. That mask was worn multiple times in battle and it broke up a little each time.

Then at full speed Sally dashed down the cliff and towards the town with her wings gleaming in the moonlight.

Meanwhile, high in the watchtower of Kuroko, a sleepy guard was slumped over the side of the tower. He felt like going to sleep, but something starting shining in his eye, which kept him awake. He took a telescope and looked through it, and saw something that sent chills up his spine. It was the same thing he had been warned about for years: The Red Dragonfly. He ran over to the warning bell and began to slam his telescope against it, thinking it was a mallet. "The Red Dragonfly is coming!" He shouted, and soon the whole town was in a panic.

Back in the jail cell, all of the prisoners and guards were in a total panic, while Jack was trying to calm everyone down. "Calm down everyone!" Jack shouted, "If this jail cell can keep criminals in, then it can keep people out!" But, his words weren't reassuring anyone, especially since Torako was cackling harder than she ever had before.

She covered her face with her hand and said, "Oh man, Sally is mad!"

…..

Back at the top of Kuroko's wall, several guards were looking over the edge watching Sally dash down cliff.

"She's not gonna make it over the wall." One guard said.

"Eh, I think she'll make it." Another said.

The first guard looked at the other and said, "How much ya wanna bet on it?"

"Mm, fifty bucks."

"Deal!"

"Look alive men!" The captain shouted, "The Red Dragonfly will be here any minute, and when she gets here- OH MY GOSH!" The guards all looked at the captain, who was pointing down at the wall in fear. Sally was running up the side of the wall and she was almost at the top.

One of the guards took their guns and shot towards Sally. He missed, but he did hit a part of the wall that was right in front of her.

The guards began to cheer as Sally started to fall down with the chipped pieces of the broken wall. The first guard handed the other the fifty dollars they betted on, but stopped midway and noticed that Sally had grabbed a falling piece of the wall, and flapped her huge broken wings which projected her all the way to the top. The guard stuck out his tongue towards the other.

"Get her!" The captain yelled.

The guards began to charge towards Sally but she dodged each and every one of them, in a strange way. It was like she was having trouble keeping her balance, but she was used to it and knew how to take advantage of it. This made perfect sense considering the fact that she was a rag doll.

Soon Sally was surrounded by guards on both her right and left side.

"Give up!" The captain shouted, "You have nowhere to run!"

Sally smirked through the broken half of her mask, and leapt off the wall and stumbled somewhat gracefully onto a rooftop (Sorry for the oxymoron). Then she dashed away and jumped from rooftop to rooftop.

"STOP HER!" The captain shouted, and soon all the guards were either trying to shoot her or capture her. Many scrambled onto the rooftops ahead of her in an attempt to stop her.

As Sally jumped off of one of the roofs and was heading towards another, a guard shot off his cannon which landed just a few seconds before she did. Sally continued running, dodging several bullets by tilting her body a bit in a flimsy fashion.

One of the townspeople jumped in front of her with a spear in his hands. "You're not going to get away with this!"

Sally placed her hands on the flute and pulled one hand away from it as if she was unsheathing a sword. As she did, a glowing green blade emitted from it and purple smoke began to curl and twist around her as it escaped from the holes of the flute.

The townsman shook in fear, but stood his ground. Until he saw Sally charging at full speed towards him, then he jumped off the roof and landed on the captain. "Get off me, you buffoon!" The captain shouted.

"Ugh! I'm just running around in circles!" Sally said to herself, "Torako, where are you!"

Then Sally felt that her magic was growing very strong; she knew she was close, which meant she could summon "them."

Sally put the glowing blade back into her flute and put the instrument up to her lips, where she played a hypnotic and terrifying tune through it. The purple smoke took a solid form into 700 red monkey-like imps. "Find Torako!" Sally commanded.

The imps ran and screeched about running through the town moving at incredible speeds. Until one came to the roof of the jail cell and screeched loudly, signaling Sally that he had found Torako. Sally played the same tune she had played earlier, but this time in reverse, sucking all the imps back into the flute.

"What was that noise!" Jack said. There was even more panic in the prisoners.

"That was one of my sister's imps." Torako said, "I'd run if I were you, Girly-man. She'll be here any minute!"

Jack looked at the jail door, which was locked and noticed that a purple hand, which looked like smoke, was picking the lock.

The door swung open and Sally was on the other side, scanning the whole area. Then she noticed Jack, and began to charge after him, with her blade unsheathed.

"I told you Girly-man!"
