Juniper and Towa spent the rest of the day hanging out and doing whatever they could. The next day was spent doing more training. Juniper desperately wanted to be able to fight just as well as everyone else. Whether they wanted them to fight with everyone or not, they still needed to be able to defend themself better than they currently were.
"Stop. You aren't gripping the sword properly." Towa stated.
"Eh?" Juniper stared at their current posture.
"See how I hold it? It allows for a lot more flexibility." Towas explained as he did a few moves.
"How do you... hold it that way?"
Towa repositioned Juniper's hands to grip the sword. Juniper stared down at the new position. It felt off. They were so used to holding it the other way.
"I'll try my best to hold it this way." Juniper nodded.
"Shall we try and fight again?" Towa questioned.
Just as Juniper was about to reply, a scream sounded from nearby. The two kids looked at each other.
"We should go check it out." Towa stated.
"Okay." Juniper agreed.
The two of them ran off toward the source of the noise. Hopefully whatever it was wouldn't be too bad. But, unfortunately, it was a minosaur. That wasn't good.
"Ryusoul Change!" Towa quickly transformed and rushed into battle, fending the minosaur away from a civilian.
Juniper hesitated, but then transformed as well and rushed to help. The two of them attacked the minosaur as best they could. With Juniper still struggling to properly swing their sword, it was rough.
"Wish..." The minosaur spoke.
As they both sliced at the minosaur again, suddenly their transformations came undone. Both were startled by the sudden change. The minosaur attacked back and sent them both crashing into a wall.
"What is going on...?" Towa whispered.
The minosaur lost interest in them and left. At least they were safe for now.
"It... somehow can take away our transformations..." Juniper said, "That isn't good."
They got to their feet. Neither were seriously injured. Just a few bruises from the attacks.
"I... know you don't want to but... we should go back to everyone. We need to work together to solve this." Towa said.
Juniper felt dread rising in them at the thought of going back. Would they be safe doing so?
"Just... go without me. I'll catch up with you later." Juniper tried to get out of it.
Towa shook his head and grabbed Juniper by his hands. "I can't just leave you out here with that minosaur. I don't want you to get hurt."
"But... won't they just hurt me themselves?"
"I'll protect you. We'll sort out this misunderstanding. Okay?"
Juniper took a deep breath and then nodded. "I trust you, Towa."
...
The two arrived at the house. Juniper hesitated entering. They were scared. As much as they normally didn't care if people hated them, this time they did. They wanted to be liked by the other Ryusoulgers. They had to somehow get them to trust them.
"It'll be alright." Towa reassured them.
Juniper gulped. They took a deep breath and nodded, Towa held out a hand to them. Juniper accepted it and the two of them walked into the house.
