Reprimanded

Wow guys, sorry I haven't been on in a while. I've had choir stuff and homework overload, y'know? So, without further procrastination, I mean interruption....

Terrance and Marissa finally make it to the Game Maker's home. "Is this it?" she asks. Terrance shrugs. 
"Dunno. Here, let me run a scan." He pulls out his communicator and hits a few buttons, switching apps. "TrailBlaiser just installed these. Makes missions much easier, if you want to cheat or are lost." Marissa looks about as he scans the realm for the target.
"Of all the realms, this one seems really dangerous." Terrance smirks.
"We could've been in Slender..." he taunts. Marissa tenses up and closes her eyes tightly. 
"Gosh! Don't even mention Slender! That game scared me so bad! I didn't sleep for two days. And even then, I kept the lights on." The communicator finishes scanning and Terrance examines the coordinates. 
"Good. We're in the right place." He grabs her hand and leads her onto the grounds, where a guard stops them.
"Halt." he commands. "No uninvited guests on the grounds. Go away." Marissa shrinks back behind Terrance.
"Jedi. Go Jedi on him." she whispers. Terrance looks back at her and smiles.
"Actually, I think we have bigger problems than him." Marissa looks behind them to a group of suspicious Peacekeepers, including the one Terrance confused. 
"You mean them?" she asks. Terrance shakes his head.
"Worse. Her." He points a shaking finger at the figure of a young woman, too far away to see, but they can feel her energy signature. Terrance and Marissa back up slowly as the young woman advances, sword in hand. The Peacekeepers finally spot her and draw their weapons. One fires his gun, but the bullet merely drops to the ground. They exchange questioning glances then fire again, but the same thing happens. The woman comes into full view, strawberry blonde hair blowing about in the wind, shimmering blue dress and cloak flowing out behind her. Her red stone sword glints in the harsh sunlight. She looks at the Peacekeepers, and they tense up, as if against their will, and kneel before her. The guard does the same. She then turns her attention to the Realm Travelers. "I- I can explain..." Terrance stutters. Lenora glares at him like a mother to a disobedient child.
"I'm sure you have some long thought out sob story to convince me that breaking my rules is acceptable. Save your storytelling for the pen." Terrance shuts his mouth and bows before her.
"Yes ma'am." he murmurs. 
"Go back to RTHQ. You will not be punished. This time." she instructs. They both rise and open a portal, but Leo puts a hand on Marissa. "Not you. Your mission isn't over. You haven't failed yet. You have one more chance. Finish the mission. Without help. Learn to put your skills to use. You are a Realm Traveler. Don't rely on Terrance. I know you can do this. No apprentice of mine fails. Understand?" Marissa nods slowly. "Good. Now, come along Terrance." He obeys and exits the realm. She turns back to Marissa. "They will come back to their senses in fifteen minutes. Get up to the house, get the information you need, and get out. I expect to see you back at RTHQ in twenty minutes. Good luck." Marissa bows as Leo steps through the portal. Then, she dashes to the front door of the mansion.
