Encaged

Ene, Faith and Eina were soaring through the air. "Are you sure they're at your house?" Ene inquired. Faith nodded.

"So Ane went for it then." Eina thought.

"I have a bad feeling though." Faith announced. Eina and Ene watched one another and nodded before the trio sped up.

Ane jumped back; one arm dangling. He held it and frowned. "Tsk." he grunted.

"It's about time I ended our....session." Linx remarked before swinging back lifelessly and flashing to Ane; uppercutting the teen. Linx then punched Ane in the gut and then slammed the boy's head into his knee. Linx flashed to behind Ane and kicked the boy in the back. "Finishing..." Linx began as he pulled Ane back and kicked him up. Lightning Armor surrounded Linx's fist and he uppercutted Ane causing the teen to spin aimlessly through the air. "Lightning Combo." Linx concluded as he backed up; eyes gleaming. Electricity cloaked his hand and he gauged it back. "Lightning Straight!" he exclaimed; shooting at Ane.

Liquid gold was pushing Linx away from Ane who fell onto some of the gold; eyes rolled up. The gold solidified around Linx. "What do you think Faith would say if you killed Ane!?" Nina the cat's voice boomed. Linx turned to see a large lioness eying him with it's pure red eyes.

"Tsk...don't care." Linx remarked dryly. Nina sighed.

"Humans." she remarked tiredly before turning her attention to Ane to see his arm steaming. "The dragon, huh." she thought.

"Ane!" Lana and Lisa yelled as they ran to the boy.

"He's just unconscious." Nina stated as she morphed into her cat form. The gold vanished from Linx and he walked away without a word. Nina watched around at the damages and sighed. "Faith's gonna bitch." she growled before vanishing into gold.

"She ran away." Lisa said.

"That doesn't matter." Lana remarked as water rose Ane and placed him onto a bed in one of the buildings. Lisa said nothing.

Eina, Ene and Faith landed amidst the mansion grounds. "My beautiful home!" Faith exclaimed; bursting into tears. "Where is that damned cat!" she screeched. Her eyes widened.

"Hey guys!" Lana yelled as she and Lisa walked out. Faith fell to the ground; turning to gold.

"A gold clone?" Ene inquired before the area went black and white.

"Puppet Box." a male voice boomed as dragon eyes seemed to open in the air.

Linx was strolling and his eyes widened as he sensed strong elemental energy. He turned to see a large purple box where Faith's house was. "What in the..." Linx began as he flew towards it but a hand seemed to lunge from thin air and grab him by the neck. Linx got slammed into a tree and the Masked Man stood above him; eyes gleaming. "Who...the hell are you?" Linx asked.

"Does something so trivial matter?" MM inquired.

"Tsk." Linx thought before vanishing into electricity. MM watched up to see Linx standing on a tree. "Guess I gotta beat the info out of you!" Linx exclaimed; grinning. "I guess that Ane brat grew on me." he thought; sighing internally.

Lana lay amidst a room of earth. "W-where am I?" she asked as she sat up. A throat cleared and the entire team of teens who were in separate rooms turned to a screen that appeared. A hooded figure with dragon eyes was on it; the remainder of his face unseen. He cracked his fingers; revealing grey gloves which he then clasped in front of him. 

"I...am the Puppet Master and you all are in my technique....Puppet Box." the figure remarked. The teens frowned in response.

"As if!" Ene yelled; diving at the wall and firing a fist of flames. The wall seemed to shift like a living organism. "What the hell!" Ene yelled as he jumped back as his attack was ineffective. 

"That's useless." PM said(Puppet Master). "Hitting the walls won't do you any good. You all shall be my newest editions!" he continued; cackling evilly. The screens then vanished.

Lisa sat on the floor; hands folded. "I have a bad feeling about this all. This attack feels too coordinated to be a random capture." she remarked; sighing. She eyed forward to see a figure coming out the wall and she stood quickly. An exact replica of Lisa came out and took the exact position as the original. "What in the hell?" Lisa inquired; staring at the replica which stared back.

The Lisas silently stared at one another. Lisa gulped. "A replica huh? Well so be it." she thought; grinning. "Wind Style: Speed Of Air!" both of the Lisas yelled before diving at one another at insane speeds and kicking. Their legs collided and they both immediately flipped into the air and blew sharp areas of wind. "Gust!" Lisa thought. The attacks collided and the impact thrusted them both to the walls. "Tsk." Lisa said as she landed on one knee to see her replica do the same. "It's like striking a mirror!" she snared.

Lana eyed a replica of herself and gulped. "I don't like this." she stated. She rose her hand and the replica did the same. The Lanas swung their hands and huge areas of water spat from the ground. Both of the girls ducked the water before hitting it back at their opponent. The areas of water collided; filling the room. The Lanas flipped above the water and landed atop if it. They then dove at one another to sink when they were inches from one another to then spin and kick. Their legs collided and the impact sent both girls spinning. Lana frowned and clasped her hand. Water blasted the replica who was doing the same as Lana and Lana then got blasted with water as well. The two girls floated to the top; eyes rolled up and the water slowly floated out.

Eina bit her nails and watched her replica who stood there bluntly. Ene was spitting flames at his replica who was returning the same attack back and Ane was staring at his angrily. "Tsk; this is a pain." Ane growled.

Linx was eying MM who stared back. "What shall you do...boy?" MM inquired. Linx frowned and held his bruised arm.

"I-I can't defeat this guy all alone." he thought; sweat falling from his face.
