"Enough talking! Let's fight!" June dashed at Laughing Jack with a big branch in hand, stabbed at him, but the moment she swung the branch at him, he turned to smoke.

"You need something more than a branch to kill." Said Laughing Jack. June felt a hand tap her on the shoulder & she turned around to see Laughing Jack about to swing a baseball bat. June ducked & then swung at Jack in the hip. This time it worked, L.J felt pain in his leg. "IMPOSSIBLE! How can you have the ability to touch me?"

"Don't underestimate me, clown." Then she swung at L.J again, & stabbed him in the chest. L.J laughed.

"Do you really think that will kill anyone who you meet?" L.J swung his baseball bat at her again and hit her in the legs as June fell to the ground. Hearing laughter coming from L.J's mouth. But June wouldn't go down without a fight as she struggled to get up, tasting warm blood in her mouth as she spit it out.

June could then hear the evil laughter again. She could hear it coming from behind her. June peered behind her back to see Jack walking toward little Sally that was still sleeping. June will not let this...THING get sweet little Sally. She ran toward the clown, & kicked him to the ground. Instead of being pissed off, L.J kept laughing like a mad man. "So you never seem to give up do ya? No matter..." L.J got up, brushed off the dirt from his pants as June tighten her grip on the branch.

Suddenly June felt a hand grab her hair & pulled her back onto the ground. She turned around to see all L.J dragging her away from Sally, than flung her across the air, landing painfully on a tree. Tumbling onto the ground. But June wasn't going to quiet, the urge of determination was growing in her that made her teeth grind.

"Interesting..." L.J said slowly, frowning at June with confusing; then he evilly grinned showing a row a white sharp teeth. "You have no idea clown how long it's been since I had a real fight, this is going to be fun!" June glared at him, her fingers dug into the earth.

"We'll see how long you last you buffoon." She snarled. Jun ran at the clown again, swung the branch, but he kept every swing. June screamed in frustration. But L.J caught the branch & snapped it in half.

Something inside of her burst like a cannon, & with all her might she held her fist up in fighting mode just like how Eyeless Jack had shown her in training. Aiming for his head, she hit his head with full force as something snapped too. L.J fell to the ground, & hit his head so hard that it broke his concentration.

June back up to see her hand were completely unharmed, but they were glowing like they were on fire. Light blue flames all over her hands. "What's happening?" She said as she turned to L.J. He started to cough out what was described as pitch black blood. L.J got up & swung his baseball bat, but stop in mid air as he stared at her eyes.

They were glowing too. Then he noticed the marking showing through her bare shoulder from her long black shirt. "Oh my gosh..." He said as he dropped the bat. "It can't be...y-your the-"

"The Proxy?" A voice said as both L.J & June quickly turned their heads toward Slendy was standing; Jeff was still in his pjs, holding his knife with a pissed off expression. "This human here is the next Proxy."

"And if I were you I would keep your bloody hands off of her!" Jeff yelled, Slendy calmed him down a bit.

"Sorry. I didn't sense it until she punched me in the face & saw her eyes glowing." L.J said as Slendy stared at June as her were still glowing, but soon faded away.

"It looks like your powers are coming in faster than I thought." He said, rubbing his chin. "Anyway know that you know, let's all go back to bed."

"I'm right behind ya on that, Slendy." June said as she wobbled her way toward Jeff as he noticed her tiredness. He picked her up, gave her a piggy back ride, Slendy used his tentacles to carry Sally, & L.J walking beside Smiles back to the mansion.

It was around 5 in the morning when someone knocked on June's door. "Mmmm..." She mumbled in her pillow.

"Morning sleeping beauty." Jeff said sticking his head out.

"What do you want?" June growled.

"Hey hey, take it easy tiger." Jeff said holding up his hands in defense. "I was just gonna wake you & tell you that Slendy wants you downstairs in 10 minutes for your next training."

June flopped out of bed, grumbled as she stomped into the kitchen where Slendy was, drinking a cup of coffee, & reading the newspaper. "Good morning, June." But June only grumbled in response. "Well then, today Ben is going to teach you weaponry since you already mastered the skills of combating. You can't always use yourself & magic for fighting. You need something to fall back on when there's nothing left. So we're going to see what is good for you." Slendy said. June looked at the table again & groaned.

There were a lot of weapons. Too many in fact. Ben came up & said. "Take your pick." June looked around & tried to picking something good. She saw an ax that looked good. She grabbed it & lifted it only to drop it & it weighed her down. It strained her poor sore arms & June whined. Ben only chuckled & said. "Maybe not that one." He picked it up for her & threw it back on the tabled with ease. She looked for something else & saw a sword. June grabbed it & held it tight; it didn't drop on her which was good.

Ben took her farther away like how Jack did. Ben took out his own sword & said. "Let's test out your weapon shall we?" June nodded & raised it. Ben got ready too & counted. "3...2...1..." He sung his sword & luckily her own blocked it. He swung again & June moved her sword around to block again. At first she was just blocking, but then eventually she started to fight back. She swung her's & nearly hit Ben, but he stepped back in time. "Nice one." He said & swung. June yelped & fell backwards. She looked up to see Ben about to jump on her with his sword raised.

But June managed to lift up her sword & block. June pushed back & Ben did too, making an unbearable weight on her. She managed to lift up her legs & pushed him off by his side. Then June quickly got up & Ben dashed up to her. He swung & stabbed, & June had to block. She started losing her grip on the hilt & when he swung, & hit the blade her sword flew out of her hands. Clattered to the ground. She gasped & looked at Ben. He chuckled.

"I don't think swords are your thing. " He added as he put his back in its sheath. June huffed & nodded. Then June dashed for the tabled & without thinking she grabbed a metal pole. She began swinging at him with it, but he just kept dodging every swing. That was making her mad; then Ben knocked her off the ground as she fell painfully onto the ground. She noticed blood was dripping from her forehead. She saw Jeff trying to run toward her, but Slendy used his black tentacles to block his path. But June wasn't about to give up as the same feeling from last night; the same determination flowed through her body like her boiling blood was.

Suddenly something tingled through June's fingers as waves of electricity started to spark on the metal pole, then the pole started to spark too as it transformed into a wicked badass scythe. June stared at the scythe & said to Slendy. "What the bloody hell just happened."

"Every Proxy choices a weapon & the weapon chooses them. And if the weapon choose you then it transforms into it's most powerful stage. That weapon you choose was the same one your grandmother choose too." June stared down at it in disbelief. "I think you have mastered the first stage of weaponry, tomorrow you will be trained to use your weapon." June nodded her head as she as she walked back to the mansion.
