“Mistress, are you all right in there?” Glenda called out. She leaned against the door and heard disgruntled cries and things breaking.

“Yeah, I’m fine...” The principal confirmed weakly.

“But not for long, though,” A familiar voice commented.

“Don’t worry; I'll help you out!”

Glenda reached for the door handle but backed away as a spark shot out. She looked down and realized that a seal locked the door. Touching it made her fly to the ground by a powerful shock.

“Ow!”

“Glenda, are you all right?” The Headmistress asked from afar.

“I’m fine, but why won’t this door work?”

“It's magic proof; it won’t work,” Lauren responded. “Only the one who summoned the spell can reverse the effect.”

“Lauren, is that you?!” Glenda gasped. “What are you doing in there, and why are you—?”

“None of your business!”

“There’s got to be a way to get inside...” Glenda pondered, pacing the halls.

Inside the Principal’s office, Lauren and the Principal continued to duke it out. Lauren threw in some punches at her, but the Principal backed up and dodged all of them. When returned to a corner of a wall, the purple-haired woman blocked the punches and threw Lauren across the room.

The two back flipped and landed in a roll as they faced each other. They both jumped into the air and collided with one another, trying to push the other one off.

“Why don’t you just give up?” The Principal taunted. “There’s no way you can beat me.”

“Oh, yeah? Well, I'll try my best regardless!” Lauren shouted.

She kicked the Principal in the shin, grabbed her by the neck, and tossed her across the room on her desk, making her tumble onto the floor.

The Headmistress got up, removed her head, and threw it at Lauren. Lauren grabbed the head out of the air and spun it around before throwing it back at Horace’s body, forcing it to slide back against the floor.

She ran over and attempted to kick him. Horace threw the Principal’s head into the air and back flipped to avoid Lauren’s attacks. He ran up the wall behind her desk and reattached himself to the Principal’s head.

United, once more, she kicked at Lauren in the air. However, the red-headed girl grabbed her foot. The Headmistress slammed their heads together before kicking her across the room.

“I got to admit; you put up a good fight.” The Principal walked over to her and said, “However, it still won’t be enough to defeat me. Now, let’s finish this.”

Before the lady could do the finishing blow, more noise occurred, and another earthquake rumbled across the area.

Lauren laughed without warning. “It’s finally finished, at long last.”

“What are you laughing about?” The Principal asked.

“Don’t you see? I distracted you from the real threat. Troy’s spell is complete! They’ll be coming any time now...”

“You witch! Did you just...!?”

“That's right,” Lauren muttered.

“Uh, are you—?” The Principal inquired.

“Yeah, I'm okay, especially since I can see my parents again, and we’re going to get vengeance on you after our little reunion!”

“Oh, no, you won’t!” The Principal protested as she tackled Lauren.

“Hey, get off me, you—!”

“No!”
