Chapter 5; Waka Chaka Phantom's
During one of Arcadia nights, a very very very irresponsible delivery guy was delivering a package to Eli's house. What made him irresponsible was the fact that he had his eyes closed, his hands were playing air drums, his leg was partly on the wheel, he was wearing headphones, and listening to very loud rock and roll music. Once he reached Eli's house, he opened his trunk, grabbed Eli's package, which had a fragile mark and dropped it multiple times by rocking out. Unknown to him, a pack of small green monsters with long arms and legs started to look around for another piece of the Killahead Bridge that was in the truck. They did stop when one found a sharpie and drew a mustache on himself. They were able to find their piece, but the delivery guy was returning to the truck. He didn't deliver the package and left a delivery note. That caused the monsters to hide, the mustache one hid inside the truck and the others hid under the truck with the bridge piece. The delivery guy put the package into the truck and closed it. The monsters came out of hiding and saw the mustache free himself from the truck. But the delivery guy pulled forward too fast, causing the monster to fall out of the truck. And then he backed up, turning the monster into roadkill, before he drove away. One of the monsters picked up the sharpie and drew a mustache on himself before roaring at the truck.
The following morning in Trollmarket; Hero's Forge, Jim and Noah were getting in some early morning training, with training dummies that shot spears and breath fire. In the area was Seth, who had just finished up a yellow disk and Toby was doing a less dangerous workout. While Jim and Noah were dodging the dummies' attacks, Blinky went over the first rule. "Always be afraid. Fear heightens your senses. Fear keeps you alive. Arrogance gets you killed."
"Noted." Noah said as he dodged a steel ball. Jim not so much. He said to Blinky as he got off the floor. "Yeah, I'll have to remember that."
"Draal, however, does not fear you. That will be his weakness, but not you. You'll be wetting your armor. That will be your strength." Blinky said as he helped Jim up and they started training again. After Seth was done with the yellow disk, he started to work on a green jewel, but before he started, he said to Toby. "Toby, what are you doing?"
"If your brother and Jim are getting fit, I'm getting fit. Don't want to be too big." Toby said as a tracker started to beeped. Aaarrrgghh was with him and what Toby said made him feel bad. Toby saw that and said. "Not that there's anything wrong with being big. But if I'm gonna have Jim's and Soul's back, I got to be nimble." That made Aaarrrgghh happy and he joined Toby. "You know, I think being afraid is the one rule that I–" Jim said, but stopped when he saw a dummy shot spears at him. Jim ducked and the spears hit another dummy. Jim then finished as the dummy that got hit with spears caught on fire. "...I excel at."
"No, Master Jim. You must excel at all three. If trolls are ever going to embrace you as Trollhunter, you must ignore your human instincts." Jim then threw his sword at a dummy that just appeared. Blinky looked at the dummy and said. "Do that, and I have no doubt you will defeat Draal."
"Speak of the devil." Noah said as Draal appeared in the room. He laughed at Jim and said. "Look.. it's training. Cute."
"I really don't like him." Noah said as Draal walked away. Blinky then said to Jim. "Let your fear keep you alive. Let his arrogance lead him astray. Defeat him… and you'll make history."
"Speaking of history, we don't want to be late for the field trip." Seth said as he had just finished the green jewel and they all went to school. Today Strickler's class was going to the city museum. There the museum curator, Ms. Nomura, a woman with black hair, dark brown eyes and wearing a purple dress, said to Strickler's class. "I know contemporary media might lead you to believe European history is full of swords, sorcery, and scandal. I assure you, the truth is far more interesting, And there's no better place to start than Renaissance Era pottery."
"Since we have limited time, Ms. Nomura, perhaps it's best if they explore the museum on their own. Don't you think so?" Stickler said and before Nomura could answer, the class had already left them. Inside Seth heard Toby's new phone, which was a Phone Bat, ringing. Toby pulled it out, which was orange, and Seth said, stopping them. "Alright, what did you do to your Phone Bat?"
"Nothing, I'm just getting alerts about the stuff I can trade in for my points."
"I can't tell if you are using it to help us or just so you can get new stuff? What do you think bro?" Seth said as he turned to Noah, but he wasn't there. Jim and Noah had wandered away from Seth and Toby. They were looking, but the area with Killahead Bridge was closed off, so they didn't see it. On the second floor, they both saw Steve trying to change Claire's mental image of him. Steve saw them and gave Jim a very big hint that he was trying to take Claire away from Jim as a form of payback. Jim sighed and placed his head on the arm rale. Noah turned to his friend and said. "Don't let Steve get to you, Jim. He is just a jerk, that will most likely lose the girl he actually loves."
"Like I am, because she thinks I'm a jerk for skipping rehearsal."
"Well it's not like you were trying to miss rehearsal."
"Try telling her that."
"Good idea and good luck." Noah said as he moved away from Jim. Jim figured out what Noah was doing. Noah knocked Steve out, quick and quickly, like a ninja. So Claire didn't hear or see Noah dragged Steve away. Noah then hid Steve between two of the displaced cases and motioned Jim to talk to Claire. So Jim walked up to Claire and said. "I wish our play had these costumes."
"I know, right? With our school budget, I'll end up doing the balcony scene in my bathrobe."
"Hey, if anyone could pull it off, it'd be you. You're the only one on stage who looks like they know what they're doing."
"Tell that to my parents. The one time I get a B, what's their advice? Drop the play."
"Are they crazy? You were born for this. It's like your calling. My mom would be stoked if I ever found something to be so passionate about."
"Wow! You're pretty passionate yourself, Mr. Guru. What about you? What's calling you, Jim Lake Junior?" Claire said and as Jim talked to her about his call, Seth and Toby found Noah. "Is Jim talking to Claire?" Toby said to Noah, who nodded yes. "Did you knock out Steve?" Seth said, pointing to Steve on the floor. Noah whistled and looked away. That told Seth that Noah did knock Steve out. Seth was going to say something to Noah, but didn't. Because Noah, Seth and Toby heard Eli talking to their classmates. "At first, I thought it was an alien. Definitely not human."
"Let's see what he's talking about." Noah said as they all got closer to Eli. Eli was showing everyone a picture of the monster that turned into roadkill in front of his house. While the others thought it was fake, Noah, Seth and Toby knew it was true. Toby quickly said to Eli. "Hey, Eli, can I see your phone real quick?"
"Hey!" Eli said as Toby took his phone. Before Eli took it back, Noah grabbed it, and then Seth tried to take it from Noah. It was an act so they could delete the photo. Eli took it back and said. "What the heck? You guys deleted it?"
"Sorry about that Eli." Noah said before Seth said. "Yeah, too bad you can take it again."
"Yes I can, if it is still next to my house." Eli said as he walked away. "We need to tell the others." Noah said as they walked towards Jim. As they walked towards them, they heard Claire talking to Jim. "Hey, so I've gotta ask… If you weren't going to show up for rehearsals, why even try out?"
"Honestly, I kind of auditioned by accident, but I'm glad I did."
"I really like the company."
"Aw! Thanks."
"Um, I was talking about Eli." Jim said before Claire laughed. Noah tapped Jim on the shoulder and Jim said to hum. "This better be good, Noah."
"We have a problem to deal with after school."
"What kind of problem?"
"This!" Noah said after it was dark, there had got Aaarrrgghh and Blinky, Noah and Seth were already Soul; Efreet Fighter mode, and they all looked at the dead monsters. Seth then said to Aaarrrgghh and Blinky. "So what is this?"
"Goblin." Aaarrrgghh said before Jim said as he picked the goblin with a stick. "Goblin?"
"Ruthless tricksters. Petty street vandals who leave a wake of destruction. This is not good." Blinky said before Jim said as Soul set the goblin remains on fire. "Well, justice was served. We should get back and train for Draal."
"Oh, no, Master Jim. Where there is one, there are many. And, as for the unfortunate soul who ran over this small fellow, may Skaargen's swift blade have mercy!" Blinky said as did an honor to the dead sigh. As Toby went to Eli's door, Jim said to Blinky. "And why is that?"
"Naturally, goblin payback is ten-fold."
"Are you saying whoever ran this guy over is in serious trouble?" Noah said and Blinky nodded yes. Seth then said to them. "Then we need to find out who ran this guy over and save him."
"A delivery driver left a sticky note on Eli's house. Wait for it. The goblin might have gotten squashed by the delivery truck!" Toby said as he rejoined them and showed off the note. Jim took it and said. "Hey, let me see that. If the driver's returned at eight, we need to be here, too. I'm not gonna let some poor guy become goblin chow on my watch."
"Nether will we." Noah said as he walked up to Jim. Blinky then said to them. "Master Jim, Master Noah, Master Seth, answering the call!"
"So cool, Stakeout! Past my curfew!" Toby said as they started the Stakeout. Jim, Soul and Blinky were watching the front of the house, while Toby and Aaarrrgghh watched the street. Blinky looked at the time and said. "It's already nine o'clock. It appears the only thing being delivered is failed expectations."
"At least, no sign of goblins." Jim said as he gave Blinky the binoculars and said to Toby over his own Phone Bat, which was light-blue. "Hey, Tobes, all clear. How's it going over there?"
"All good in the hood, Trollhunter, except I can't stop moving."
"Why?" Seth said before Toby said. "My love of stakeouts is being ruined by my overwhelming need to obtain swag. Other than that, nothing unusual."
"You are unusual." Aaarrrgghh said, looking at Toby. "War Hammer out." Toby said as they saw the truck coming down the street. "War Hammer to Trollhunter and Kamen Rider, the package has arrived." Toby said as they saw the truck pull up to the house. As the delivery guy took the package to Eli house. Jim then said as he and Soul tried to leave their hiding spot. "Let's get him out of here before it's too late."
"Wait! His fate may already be sealed. They're here. Look!" Blinky said, stopping them. They looked at the street lights and saw goblins destroying them. They then saw the goblin with the mustache being the Head Goblin. "No, I'm not gonna let an innocent person–" Jim said as he tried to get up, but Blinky stopped Jim and said to everyone. "Great trouble! There appears to be far more that I had anticipated. Stay down and don't make a sound."
"Why?" Seth said and Blinky said. "In their frenzied state, they'll attack any in their path." The delivery guy then rang the bell and dropped the package. He quickly picked it up and Eli answered the door. "Yes! My spy gear has arrived!" Eli said as he took it and shocked the box. He did hear the broken piece moving around, but Eli thought it was unassembled, not broken. The delivery guy then pushed past Eli, so he could use the bathroom. Jim saw a goblin destroy the street light close to them and said. "But that's Eli! He's in my class."
"Yeah, we can't just sit here and watch Eli and the delivery guy die." Noah said before Blinky said. "I'm sorry, Master Noah. But there are too many goblins. And with our small numbers, we would be overrun and killed." Then the last street light was destroyed and the goblins charged at Eli house. But they didn't attack the house that had the delivery guy inside, they attacked his truck. As the others watched the goblins bite the truck into nothing, Blinky said to everyone. "Unexpected. Their dispute isn't with the driver at all, but rather the transportation that had flattened their kinsman. Ooh, you must not be afraid, Master Jim."
"I thought the first rule of troll hunting was to always be afraid." Jim said before Aaarrrgghh said. "Trolls, not goblins."
"What's the difference?" Noah said before Blinky said. "Goblins crave the pheromone of terror, an odor you appear to be releasing quite generously." Toby then said to Blinky. "Wait! This is too much. You mean, they can smell fear? Oh, no! I can smell it, too."
"Then stop, or they will eat you!" Blinky said, causing Toby to scream through the phone. Because of that, the goblins found them and Seth said. "You might have your point too loud."
"Perhaps. RUN!" Blinky said as they all started to run, but Toby, who was on Aaarrgghh's back. All of the goblins followed them, so the delivery guy didn't see them. But he was going to be fired from his job because he lost the truck. Back at the chase, Jim unwillingly put on his armor and started to slow down. Noah looked back at him and said. "Why are you armoring up now?"
"Master Jim's armor is responding to his emotional state! Master Jim, control your fear, or you'll be dinner!" Blinky said before Jim said. "I'm trying." Then the goblins caught up to Jim and started to pin him down, but Aaarrrgghh saved Jim by swinging the goblins off the Jim and putting Jim on his back. As Aaarrrgghh joined Blinky and Soul, Noah said to Seth. "Can the yellow or green one help with long range attacks?"
"Use the yellow disk on your side." Seth said and Noah took out Fighter and replaced it with the yellow disk, and the Driver said. "Archer!"
"Perfected!" Noah said as he overlapped them and the Driver said. "Efreet Archer!" The right side of Soul then turned yellow and a bow handle with a disk on the top and bottom appeared in his hands. The disks then rose and then it turned into a red bow. Noah then said to Seth. "Seth, where are the arrows?!"
"Just pretend you're shooting an arrow." Seth said as Noah did it, even if he didn't know what Seth was thinking. As Soul ran backwards for a few seconds and acted like he was going to shoot an arrow. To Noah's surprise, a flaming arrow appeared in the bow. Seth made Soul let go of the arrow as it hit right in the middle of the goblin hoard. When it hit the goblin hoard, it exploded and sent a lot of the goblin's that didn't die, into the sky.
Soul started to run normally again, Toby said as his tracker beeped. "Oh, my gosh! I just got a free t-shirt!" Then the Head Goblin, who was launched into the air thanks to Soul, grabbed Toby by the arm with the tracker on it. It tried to drag Toby down, but Jim grabbed him and helped Topy up. The Head Goblin did get away with Toby's tracker around his neck and Toby said, looking at the goblin. "No! My points!"
"Your points? Our lives, Tobes!" Jim said before Noah said to Seth. "Seth changed the element so we don't create more explosions."
"Ok." Seth said as he switched out Efreet with Gnome. The Driver then said as the left side and the bow turned brown. "Gnome Archer!" Soul then pulled back his bow and an arrow with a blunt rock tip appeared. Soul started backwards again and shot the arrow. It didn't hit any of the goblins, but it did hit the front of someone's car parked in the street. The damage to the car caused it to explosed and Noah said to Seth. "What did I just say?"
"Hey, don't take it out on me that you can't aim." Seth said before Noah slapped the left side of Soul. Blinky then said to everyone. "We need to find a refuge! Trollmarket's too far."
"Cut through these backyards. We'll get to my house." Toby said before Noah said. "We'll join you in a second." Noah then took out the disk and put it into the bow and the Driver said. "Gnome Archer! Final Attack!" Then two golems that looked like Soul appeared next to Soul. They all pulled back their bows and Soul said. "Final Attack! Boulder Shot!" They all fired their bows together. All three arrows became one giant boulder and ran over a lot of the goblins. Soul turned back to his normal colors and joined the others, before the remaining goblins got up and ran after them. By the time the goblins started to chase after them again, they were all safely hidden inside Toby's house. As they saw the goblins, including the Head Goblin with the tracker, passed by them. Inside they were all catching their breath and Topy's grandma heard them and said. "Toby-pie! Is that you?"
"Don't mind us, Nana. We'll just be in my room. Binge-watch another show and keep the cats inside." Toby said as everyone went to his room and Toby grabbed some food. In Toby's room, Toby was stress eating and Blinky said to everyone. "I'm sorry to say, Master's, but your town is infested with goblins!"
"You think?" Seth said over Noah's Phone Bat. Jim then said to Blinky. "Okay, trolls, I can deal with it because, at least, trolls stay underground. But goblins? I don't even have the bandwidth to–"
"Jim, calm down and breathe." Noah said to Jim, and before Jim could do that, Toby said to Jim. "Jim, we have to get my Chubby Tacker back. As long as they've got it, they're just gonna get stronger and faster."
"I think you're taking the commercial too literally." Seth said to Toby. Noah then said to Blinky and Aaarrrgghh. "So how do we get rid of all of the goblins?"
"Must find a den." Aaarrrgghh said as he took the food from Toby and ate it all in one bite. Blinky then said looking at Noah. "Yes, and eradicate them before they figure out your Soul, Master Noah, Master Seth, and seek revenge."
"Oh joy." Noah said before Blinky heard Chompsky having a date with his girl inside the dollhouse. After Blinky looked at Chompsky, he turned to Jim and said, "Great Gronka Morka! What is the gnome doing in this dollhouse?"
"You told me to take care of the gnome, so we're taking care of it." Jim said and Blinky said a little angry. "This is in direct violation of rule number two! Whatever happened to finishing the fight?"
"And rule number one is to always be afraid, except if you're around goblins cause they smell fear. Your rules make less sense than algebra, which– oh, yeah– I have in a few hours, unless I get eaten by goblins tonight." Jim said in a rant and Noah said. "Jim, I said it before and I'll say it again. Calm down and breathe. The same for you, Blinky."
"I'm sorry. I'm no good at understanding your rules. I'm not ready for Draal, Bular, or finding a stupid den of goblins." Jim said as he calmed down. Blinky also calmed down and said. "As your trainer, I can only advise, not make your decisions. I understand. You're human. You're learning the rules in your own way. Aaarrrgghh and I will seek out this den, wherever it may be. You just focus on your studies. It seems life has thrown enough at you for one day."
"So you aren't mad with the gnome in the dollhouse?" Seth said before Blinky said. "We'll talk about the gnome in the dollhouse another time." The next day, during gym class. The class was playing dodgeball. Jim, Noah, Seth and Toby were on one side and on the other was Steve and his friends. Jim, Noah and Seth were dodging the ball's Steve threw at them. Toby wasn't moving and Jim said to him. "Hey, come on! You're gonna get your head in the game, Tobes?"
"Why bother taking another step? My Chubby Tracker's gone. Life's so empty when you're not racking up points." Toby said before Seth said. "So you were doing it to get new stuff." Toby then saw Seth dodged some dodged ball's with a flying spin move. Toby then said to Seth. "How did you do that?"
"Thanks to the Twin-Soul Driver, all of the training Noah gets, I get too when we transform." Seth said as he dodged a ball that was going to hit his back. "Oh, that's not fair." Toby said before he was hit on all sides with dodgeballs. Steve cheered, before Jim, Noah and Seth were able to knock Steve's friends out of the game. As Jim gave them all their high-fives, Steve said to Jim. "Pretty good, Romeo, but kiss your Juliet goodbye." That made Jim mad and he was going to throw a dodgeball at Steve's face, But Seth was already ahead of him. Seth threw the dodgeball at Steve's face, but he dodged it and hit Claire right in the face. Jim looked at Seth before running to Claire. "Seth!?"
"Sorry." Seth said they all went over to her. After class, Jim was mad at Seth and Seth said to Jim. "Why are you mad at me?"
"Oh, let's see. You managed to hit Claire in the face after I started making ground with her."
"Why do you have to get so worked up over her?"
"Hey, we're red-blooded teenagers. We're powerless to that sort of thing. Except for me, though. I got it all figured out." Toby said as they had just finished changing clothes. Noah was going to say something to Toby, but didn't. As Toby's Bat Phone rang, Toby answered it and said. "I earned a windbreaker!"
"How does it know you earn that?" Noah said before Toby said. "My Chubby Tracker tracks my movement and then I get points on the distance I've walked or how much I've moved in place. I can then try those points for stuff, see." Toby then showed the Chubby Tracker app on his phone. Jim took the phone and said. "Toby, do you know what this means?"
"Yeah. If it's not too warm and not too cold, I have the perfect cover-up."
"No. A goblin must have the Chubby Tracker on him! We know where they're going. This could lead us straight to their den." Jim said as they started to track down the goblin den. As they got close to the area the goblin was, Toby said. "Shouldn't we be telling Blinky and Aaarrrgghh?"
"We don't know how longer your Chubby Tracker will last, so we need to find the den before that happens." Noah said before Seth said. "I could go to Trollmarket?"
"There is no need Seth, we are just gonna scope it out and then report back. Easy." Jim said as they arrived at the location. They looked around and Toby said as he pointed to goblins going into the museum's roof. "Hey, look! Look over there. The museum. We should have known."
"Let's go tell the others." Jim said before Noah said. "Get down!" They all got down and saw Nomura walking into the museum. Jim then said to the others. "It's the museum lady."
"She has no idea it's infested. At any moment, they could strike! Or worse… lay eggs in her ears."
"I don't think goblins do that." Seth said he keeps an eye on the museum. Jim then said as he got up and started to walk to the museum. "Anyway, we need to get her out of there immediately."
"Good idea, but cover your ears." Toby said as they all followed Jim inside. Of course the front door was locked, so they tried calling for her. It didn't work and Jim said. "Where's she going? Why isn't she answering?"
"Cause she's already dead, Jim. Or she can't hear because she already has eggs in her ears!" Toby said as he covered his ears. Noah removed Toby's hand from his ears and said. "Stop panicking and let's find another way in." They then looked around for an opening. Luckily a window was left open, so they were able to enter the museum. Before they entered the building, Toby said to everyone. "This is breaking and entering."
"No, it's breaking and rescuing." Noah said before Jim said. "Yeah, just relax. We're just gonna get her out of there, and then let Blinky and Aaarrrgghh handle the rest." Toby agreed and they all entered the museum. After helping Toby through the window, they started looking around for Nomura. "Jeez, this place gives me the creeps with the lights out." Jim said before Noah covered Jim's mouth and Seth covered Toby's mouth. Noah then pointed up and they all saw the goblin den and saw them all asleep. That caused them to move to the next room. They exited the room and found Nomura looking at a black hexagon ring with green lines and green rock coming out of it. They all took cover and Jim said to everyone with a whisper. "Okay, what do we say? If we scare her, the goblins might find us."
"And how do we do that genius?" Noah whispered to Jim. As Jim tried to give ideas, which Noah and Seth shot down and woke up the Head Goblin. Toby kept an eye on Nomura, but could only see her shadow. But it was enough for Toby to see her to transform into something else. Toby saw that she was now a skinny violet troll with a purple dress and had big green eyes. Seth noticed Toby trying not to freak out and said. "Toby? What's wrong?"
"We need to get out of here." Toby said as he got up. Noah stopped him and said. "We can't leave without Ms. Nomura."
"But, she's… But, she's… But, she's…" Toby tried to speak, but couldn't because he saw Nomura getting closer to them. "But she's what?!" Noah said before they heard someone whistling behind them. "There's something dangerous behind us, isn't there?" Seth said and Toby nodded. They all turned around and saw Nomura and she said to them. "I knew I detected the stink of teenage flesh."
"Run!" Noah said as the other ran screaming into the area with the Killahead Bridge. Nomura followed them and she said to them. "But a human Trollhunter… that I've never tasted."
"Then let's see how you like the taste of Daylight." Jim said as he pulled out his amulet. Noah then said to Jim as he put on the Twin-Soul Driver. "You deftly got the hero banter down."
"Noah, I'm going to use our new wind element, so we don't bring down the building." Seth said as he pulled out the green disk, put it into the Driver and the Driver said. "Sylph!"
"Good call." Noah said as he grabbed Fighter, put it into the Driver and the Driver said. "Sylph Fighter!"
"Henshin!" Noah said as he overlapped the Jewel and Jim equipped his armor. Toby caught Seth and dragged him away. Soul left side was now green and Nomura said, looking at Soul. "So you're the one that gave Bular a beating."
"Yes, we are. Now get ready for the fight of your life." Soul said before Nomura started to laugh. This surprised them and Nomura said. "No, you get ready to die." She then pulled out a dark-blue Soul Jewel and a jar of purple liquid. Seth then said to Nomura. "That's a Bat Jewel! What are you going to do with it?"
"This." Nomura said as she smashed the Jewel and the jar together. The liquid covered the Jewel and she said to the Jewel. "Kill the man with the multi-colored armor." She then tossed it into the air and it started to spine as cracks started to form. When it stopped, it broke into pieces and the energy started to take the form of a man with giant bat wings for arms, a bat head and dark blue armor on his chest and legs. "What is that?" Toby said as Jim summoned his sword and Soul got ready to fight. Nomura laughed and said. "When a Soul Jewel gets covered in blood, it evolves into a Phantom, if you give it an order that is."
"Uh, oh." Seth said because they knew what order Nomura gave it. The Phantom jumped into the air and using its wings dived at Soul. Soul rolled out of the way and Jim attacked Nomura with his sword. But she caught it and Jim said. "What are you?"
"I'm want kills you." Nomura said as she was able to throw Jim's sword out of his hands. As for Toby, he was watching Seth's body, but the Head Goblin appeared in front. It still had Toby's Chubby Tracker on. So Toby started fighting the Head Goblin. Soul saw that and Seth was going to have a talk about that later. As Jim was just swing his sword around Nomura, who was dodge it with easy, Soul was dodging dive bombs from the Phantom. Noah then said to Seth as the Phantom was hanging on the ceiling. "Seth, will Archer bring the building down with the current element?"
"No, but don't go overboard."
"I make no promises." Noah said as he swapped Fighter with Archer. "Sylph Archer!" The Driver said as the right side turned into Archer mode and the bow appeared, but this time the bow was green. Soul then started to shoot the bow at the Phantom with arrows made of wind. These arrows were easy to make and quick to fire. So it was the Phantom turn to run. Jim on the hand, Jim did manage to give Nomura a scratch, but that just caused Nomura to get very mad and pull out two hook blades. As Nomura fought against Jim, Jim jumped back and his back was next to Soul's back. Noah then said to Soul as he stopped firing the arrows. "Are you doing well?"
"A little, you guys?"
"Same, so does anyone have a plan?" Seth said before Noah said. "I have one idea. If we can get Nomura and the Phantom together, Seth and I can finish all of them in one shot."
"How do we do that?" Jim said and before Noah or Seth could answer, as they all rolled out of the way of the Phantom's attack. "I don't know, figure it out!" Noah said as he started shooting his bow again and Nomura attacked Jim again. The only one actually winning his fight was Toby. Toby managed to get his tracker back, and knocked out the Head Goblin. Back with Jim's fight, Nomura knocked Jim into a tapestry. After Jim got the tapestry off him, Nomura said to him as the Phantom was going to attack Soul and she walked onto the tapestry. "All that fancy armor and you're just a scared little boy." Jim then remembered what Blinky said about Rule Number 1. "Arrogance gets you killed!" Jim said as he pulled the tapestry from under Nomura's feet. That caused her to collide with the Phantom. "Nice going Jim." Seth said as Soul put the Disk into slots and the Driver said. "Sylph Archer! Final Attack!"
"Final Attack! Hurricane Shot!" Soul said as they fired a massive wind arrow at Nomura and the Phantom. The arrow hit the Phantom in the chest and they both started to spin around very fast as they hit the ceiling. That spinning caused a lot of wind to enter the Phantom where the arrow hit. That caused green cracks to form around the Phantom and then it exploded. The explosion caused a small hole to appear on the roof and Nomura fell to the ground, unconscious. As Soul turned back to his normal colors, Jim then said to everyone. "Ok, we should get out of here."
"Agreed, but how do we get out of here?" Noah said as got up, they saw the goblins crawling all over. "This should help." Seth said as he replaced Efreet with Gnome. "Gnome Fighter!" The Driver said as Soul left side turned to Gnome mode. Soul then took out the disk and placed them in the belt slots. The Driver then said. "Gnome Fighter! Final Attack!" Then to golems like Soul appeared. Soul grabbed Seth's body and the golems grabbed Jim and Toby, who took a quick photo of the bridge. All three of them jumped out of the hole and landed where they placed their rides. Noah and Jim turned back to normal and the golems disappeared. The experience of an actual battle tried them out. So when the police arrived, they took them to the hospital to get checked out and asked some questions. As the ambulance drove away with them, Strickler, who was watching the whole thing, was very surprised by Soul's power.
