Inferior

Both of them are on the rooftop, in their regular forms.

"So..." Calista is struggling to talk to Melissa who seems to be calm but secretly nervous about the whole situation. "What kind of Myth are you? Seeing Reina look is such lovely, yours gotta be something interesting too."

Pulling out her Locket.

Melissa transform into her Valkyrie form, which Calista seemed to be amazed by her look.

"Wow!"

"Yupe! I used to have the Fairy Tale: Snow White Locket, but because of Kaiser, she destroyed it. Use a friend's Locket and I really like this form. I was a Dwarf from my last Locket."

Melissa is twirling around as she's showing off her uniform.

"So what about you?"

Calista is embarrassed by her Locket, but she's shaken in fear to hold the Locket.

Couldn't be able to transform, Melissa then walk up to her then held her hand onto the scanner.

"It's not that hard, but you're in the Top 100s, I'm surprised you don't have confidence right now. As for me, I had no confidence compared to my friends and my previous leader, Dorothy."

Calista look at her who has a somber look.

"I'm gonna miss them, since it might be a short time, they were my family for now. But I had to make it up by getting into the Academy and join back to them."

Melissa grins as she slightly flies up with her wings.

"FYI, I'm not used to these wings yet. I don't know how Dorothy could get used to flying with wings. So odd."

Calista giggled.

"Well perhaps you're not used to flying?" She jokes at her.

Melissa smiles then grab her shovel broom that transform into a spear. Riding it like a broom with her wings that Calista is smiling up at her.

"You look like a... Witch when you ride it... like that." Points at the spear then made some kind of an awkward lewd gesture. "Because Sylvia might... assault you."

Melissa laugh it off then flies up towards her. "Really? One good smack is all she'll ever gonna get out of me. But you think I'm tough, you gotta see Cassie. She's the one who tougher than me. And she got one hell of a punch, but what Dorothy told me when she met Becky, her punches are much harder than hers."

"Your last team seem very nice?" Calista is speaking clearly. "I rarely get used to everyone else here."

"Oh there's nothing wrong with you." Melissa is sitting back, "So I never sees a Beauty and the Beast before, so how does it look like?"

Calista is blushing out of embarrassment as she shaking out of fear then accept it.

Transform into her uniform; her acne scars completely disappeared for a smooth skin, and her hair shines brightly; her hoodie turned into a rose-like tailcoat with a side cape; dress suit, vest, and tight pants; heels; and sword with a beastly handle.

Melissa is blushing heavily as she's seeing beauty beyond belief.

"You're beautiful!"

Calista rolled her eyes. "Typical." She sat next to Melissa then transform back to her regular form and she pull down her hoodie. "I just hate my transformation because when I got my locket, I thought I would be the Beast."

"The Beast? And why would you want to be the Beast of all the characters?"

Calista then stood up and look out of Berlin. "I was hoping that the Beast could prove that I'm not ugly as a person. I don't mind being afraid of, since I'm used to that at school."

"But wouldn't that mean you are scary from both in person and in Vigilante form?"

"No." Calista then walking around Melissa.

"Whenever I use my Locket, everyone in school bullied me that I use this to look pretty, because I'm too beastly to look at in my regular look. Sometimes I wish I could just be a Witch and take my vengeance upon those who made my life miserable. I even got hazed over a girl that I liked, but only to be used for a prank. The only time I use this Locket is to release my pent up frustration that I sadly hurt so many Witches. But I didn't want to hurt the Witches since I know they were good people, I wanted to hurt the bullies."

Gritting her teeth as she has this conviction in her eyes then transform back into her Vigilante uniform. "I had climb the ranks, and truth be told, I'm currently in the Top 50 in the American Billboards, and only behind Hannah Kaneko and Reina Santana. Number 32, and Number 9 respectively."

Draw her sword as she remembers blood of the Witches back at Ohio.

"I'm not this beautiful person since I had been considered as ugly, so I've accepted as a beast. But no. In Magical Girls, whether you're fat, frail, or even ugly, these Lockets makes you look perfect because Magical Girls are the literal definition of perfection. Perfection is my beastly curse. But even with perfection, I'm still being looked down even by those who supposed to be looking up to me for my heroics. So my motivation from this inferior complex I have, is that I know I'm ugly but want to be beautiful for who I am. But thanks to my bullies, I'm their beautiful beast that's gonna stomp down everyone who can't accept the real me."

Melissa then got up. "I'll tell you a story about myself for a bit. When I was a little girl who lived on the streets, sleeping next to dead bodies in Boston. I left Berlin because of a Witch, but now I'm back here. I got really good at shoveling, and I carry this lantern in the memory of my mother. I'm used on being called smelly or the dead girl, but it didn't kept me away on going forward. When I met Dorothy, Cassie, and Lyra, who all became Vigilantes together back at Oztown, I thought we were all equals but we're not. In fact, we were never equals since we're good at what we do. Dorothy is a natural born Magical Girl, Lyra is the smartest girl I had ever seen, and Cassie is the strongest among us four. This is before Esmeralda and after Becky..."

Melissa is trying her best on keeping the story that she had been kidnap by the Neo Brauns Army after the Oztown Incident.

"...was capture by those Nazi Witches. Truth be told, I don't know what I am in the group. I'm the one who always fall behind the best. So what thrive me from my inferior complex is that I want to stand equal to those who are ahead of me. I want to prove my worth, by being the best who I can be even though I'm in last place of the group. I'm no natural, no prodigy, or even good at what I am. I'm still standing to prove to those that I have worth."

Melissa is showing off her sword play skills.

"I'm decent with the sword. So that's what I'm good at, and my adoptive mom showed me on how to use all kinds of melee weapons. That's my only good thing."

Calista then grabs her sword to playfully tap Melissa sword.

Smiles at Calista, then playfully tap back.

Can't match Melissa skills as she's being toyed by her.

"How are you good with the sword?" Calista is curious as she's only good at hacking and stabbing.

Melissa is trying to find the right words to come up since she have the Muscle Memory spell that Marge had placed into her.

Looking around then had an idea from seeing a few people dancing on the streets.

Smiles down, then turn to Calista. "You got a Bluetooth speaker? Because we're gonna dance with our swords."

Calista seems to be lost but excited by whatever lesson Melissa is about to teach her.

"Should be my room. My bed is the messy bed one."

"Alright, I'll be right back!"

Melissa quickly went to Amy's apartment that Marge came by with Amy who seem to be confused by whatever she's about to do.

After grabbing the Bluetooth speaker, Melissa went back up with her phone. Marge follows with Amy is curious on what Melissa is doing, so she follows her too.

Playing a Mexican tune that made Calista feeling the groove of the music.

"From my time being holding a sword, I feel like dancing."

Back at Oztown.

Waking up on the hospital bed. Dorothy open her eyes.

Seeing a blindly light, she's laying in the hospital tent of Oztown that the medical center had been destroyed during the Oztown Incident.

Still wearing the Vigilante uniform of Little Red Riding Hood, and her slippers had remained on her feet.

Looking around to see that she's alone, sitting up to deactivate the transformation and go back to normal.

Realized that she's still in her Witch's clothes, she had to quickly change her look. Grab a nearby bag to wear a loose shirt, shorts, and wearing her Slipper Wands. Hide her Witch's clothes and hat.

Leaving the tent, she's completely shock to see the person who's sitting at a chair, looking at her smartphone.

"Good morning, sleepy head."

Rebecca Wolfe, or Becky for short, she seem very happy to see Dorothy. She's working gym clothes as they're the only pair of clothes that she could wear while her other clothes had been burned down at the house.

"So how's your sleep?"

Dorothy held her midsection as she remembers Emma's sword stabbing her through her stomach then being blasted back at her home.

She held her head, remembering Almira leaving her for dead from another Witch that she didn't recognized.

Nearly collapse back but she managed to catch herself by levitating from her Slipper Wands, then sit back down to take deep breaths.

"What the hell have you been doing?" Becky is asking Dorothy who still haven't mentally recovered.

Look up at Becky, "How long have I been knocked out?"

Becky check the calendar, but Serena walk up to Dorothy. Concerned over her health.

"You had been sleeping for three days. I thought you were gonna be sleeping forever after I had discovered what happen here."

Dorothy ears went high pitch as she seem to let her friends being taken alive, being tortured by the Neo Brauns Army.

Burying her face then start crying, then said to herself.

"I'm so sorry...!"
