Taylor pushed the door open, and pulled the two boys in with her. "Sir, they're here." Taylor said with a bow, as she pushed the two forward. The Warden was sitting at the head of the elongated conference table, with Bob next to him, and Alice and Jared on his left and right side. "Splendiferous job, Taylor. Come forward, so that I can see you three." the Warden said.

Puck swallowed nervously, taking a tentative step forward as they moved inside. He familiarly reached for Clopin's hand for support, unsure what was going to happen.

"If the three of you would just take a seat, please." the Warden said, motioning to the seats in front of him. Taylor and Clopin tentatively took their seats, and turned to wait for Puck, before the proprietor of SuperJail could begin. Bob nervously stood next to his master. Why didn't he tell Clopin and Puck the truth? No, instead, he had to have Taylor break it to them... The unicorn looked to Taylor, who acknowledged him with a nod.

Puck took his seat, watching the Warden with suspicious eyes. This was going to be an interesting discussion indeed. Still silent, he leaned forward, resting his chin on his hands in the chair. His brow was furrowed, as though in thought, and he listened intently for the Warden to begin.

"Now then." the Warden said, neatly folding his hands on the table as he continued. "I'm sure my loyal adversary Taylor told you the real truth?" he asked. Clopin nodded.
"Yes, she did. But our question is, why didn't Bob tell us?" Clopin asked. The Warden intently looked at the boy through his yellow lenses. "All will come in good time. Listen carefully. Before there were any of the current students, Animated High was a run-down old high school. It used to be home to many students, and there were different houses. Mysteriously, the school was forced to close, due to unforeseen circumstances. Many tried to find out what made it close down so suddenly, and why. On top of that, there were mysterious murders going on. Investigators could never find out who committed them. Fortunately, they stopped after the school closed down.
Now that the school has reopened, most of the teachers, including I, held a small conference, to make sure that the same fate didn't happen to you guys. The problem was to find out who could possibly help. We knew that many wanted power. But who wanted peace? Peace had to be restored to the school. It was then that Bob brought you up, Clopin." the Warden said, motioning to the gypsy.
"He then mentioned that Puck seemed like he would be a potential hero as well. I told him that there would be no way for you two to even consider it, unless you became immortal, and you were given powers. Fortunately, you two seemed to reflect our thoughts on Thanksgiving night. Therefore, immortality was not an accident. You two are destined to be the heroes of the school." the Warden said, calmly looking to Puck and Clopin.
Clopin was speechless. This was much more information than he had expected. Did he know that he was such a valuable asset? No. But he knew that somehow, someway, he would have to restore peace to the school.

Puck listened quietly to the Warden. All of this, it was so...unbelievable and hard to take in. Puck had never expected anything like this to happen when he came to this school. he had expected to be shoved around, pull a prank or two, pass what classes he could manage, then graduate. But so many things seemed to have happened the past few days, and all that felt long forgotten.
And though Puck was still new and unsure about all this, he felt, deep down somewhere, that this was what he needed to do. This was his destiny. And he would bring peace to this school, once he found out how.
"Well then, I suppose that we can't fight destiny," Puck said with confidence. "I'm willing to bring peace to this school."

Clopin had always been somewhat of a rebel. From Notre Dame to Animated High, there had been many obstacles to overcome, especially those with saving his own life. Now, being a junior, Clopin had expected the usual high school drama, but this was altogether a different story. He wasn't a hero...but if that's what it took to bring peace to the school, he would do it.
"And I am as well." Clopin said with a grin.
"Brilliant!" the Warden said. He then looked to Taylor and Bob. "See? I told you two that they would come to accept it. Now, as for you two, Puck and Clopin. I have yet another surprise." he said. Clopin raised and eyebrow. Another surprise?
"As you know, there will be battles. Therefore, you have been granted powers and immortality by Bob. However, that isn't enough. I will be sending you my personal assassination team, to assist you. And don't worry, they will be undercover." the Warden said.

Puck's eyes widened a bit. "Assassination team?" he asked incredulously, shaking his head. He smiled softly. "Things are just getting more unbelievable each second."
But it sounded like a good idea, none the less. Neither of them, well, at least not Puck, knew much about killing, and he was sure that there would be times when that was needed. And no one would notice them, as they would be undercover, so it seemed that they were guaranteed full protection.

"Definitely. We end up in the world's worst prison, and now, we're being told our destiny? This is topsy-turvy!" Clopin said with a grin. "And I like it. So, who is your assassination team?" he asked.
The Warden smiled as he stood up. "Well, Trouillefou, you're looking at them." the Warden said, motioning to Bob and Taylor. Clopin's eyes widened a bit.
"Bob and Taylor?"

"What?" Puck nearly fell out of his seat. He looked at the two "killers", trying to wrap his mind around them being an assassination team.
Smiling, he sat back with a slight shake of his head. "Well, wonders never cease. But if they worked here, I'm sure that they can handle the job."

"They were the best I had, besides Jailbot, and I could always count on them. Taylor is already disguised as a normal student, and Bob is disguised as my class pet." the Warden said. "Now I'm lending them to you to help in your journey." he said.
Taylor and Bob nodded as the Warden spoke. "We were assassins, and we'd be glad to help you two out." Taylor said with a grin.
"I told y'all I wasn't kiddin' when I went on killing sprees." Bob said, laughing. Clopin shook his head. "Well, things can only get better. I'm glad to have you two along with us." the gypsy said, as he turned to Puck. "And you as well." he said.

Puck smiled at Clopin, nodding in agreement. "As am I. Now, what exactly do we need to do at this time? Do we need to be training, or what?"
Puck was itching to get to work. He didn't care if they were training or not, just as long as they were doing something, even if it was just learning more about wheat was in store for them

"From time to time, you two will be training with Taylor and Bob, somewhere past the school grounds, where no one can see you. And now that you've seen SuperJail, you both will be training here as well." the Warden said. "There's a lot more that's in store for you two, but for now, I think I've told you enough." he said.
Clopin nodded eagerly as he turned to Bob. "So does this mean you'll be training us in using those powers you gave us?" he asked.
"That's right y'all! Now, we should probably get on back to the school." Bob said, trotting away from the Warden's side, to Clopin's side.

Puck stood up, stretching. He felt a lot better now than he had when they had first walked in. Smiling, he turned to Bob, floating up in the air to sit on his back. He reached a hand down to Clopin, looking over to the Warden with a grin. "Thank you, sir."

"It was my pleasure. I know that you two will succeed." the Warden said with a wink. Clopin took Puck's hand, and leaped up onto Bob. With that, the gypsy turned to Taylor, and pulled her up as well. "Now it's my turn to pull you around." Clopin said with a grin. Taylor stuck her tongue out at the gypsy. "Pfft, as if." she said, sitting cross-legged once more. Bob then pushed the door open with his shoulder, and off they went, with their first priority being Garnar.
"We still have to get him." Clopin said, motioning towards the golden puppy that was still seated at the table.
