"Ruby, I see not a soul. Only sticky milk on my newly polished shoes."
"Morando, shh. If you hear anything out of the ordinary, just holla. I'm gonna look around. They have to be around here somewhere."
*Chi…chick.*
"Ruuuuuuu….by."
"Morando, what is it? You hear…something?"
"No. But I do feel it."
"Drop the sword, slowly, Morando. That's it.
Now kick it away."
"Dragonfrog, hu…how are you…
*BOOM*
"All of you."
*BOOM*
"That was a very great magic trick you did, turning people to cats in order to stop the spread….but you didn't get everyone.
See, your 'Magic trick' only works on people that have a split personality. Change between one to the next. Sadly, we are not people. We're greater. Multiple personalities in one, combined through all of your DNA. There is no just one thing we can change into, without the other sides of us kicking it out."
"Whooh"
*Cough….cough*
"Your perfume stinks. What did I just say about us? You can't put us to sleep without putting our Kids to sleep, and right now; you are the last of us. So, since you can't put yourself to sleep, neither can you put us."
"What do you want, DragonFrog? You can't kill me without killing you, thereby killing your dad."
"Then it appears we are at a stalemate. I can't kill you..."
*Slice*
"Huuuuuugggghhh!!!!!!!"
"But I can kill him."
*Sluuuewwwsssh*
"MORANDO!!!!!!"
"Nice knowing you, Ruby, but now….."
"YOU SAY GOODBYE!!!!"
*Swooshhh*
*Clisssh*
"Aaaaaghhh...let go of me you Eagle. I said let go."
*Phueeeem…..Phueeemmmm….Phueeemmm….*
".........Go get him, Dragon.
He needs you more than I."
*Phuuu…Phuuu…Phueeemmm.*
"Head Mistress, I found a cat.
Head Mistress?"
"Morando, hold still and let me heal you, you stubborn mule."
"Ruby, stop."
"But."
"Stop, I said, 'Stop.'"
"Morando, why won't you let me heal you? You know I can."
"I know you can, but I don't want you to just heal me."
"Ruby, what's he talking about?"
"Round up all cats and find out which ones are yours."
"Where are you going?"
"I'll be back."
"Sure you'll be back, Kyle. If the Witch hasn't gotten you, who knows if the Dragon has. We're just Prawns in her quest anyways.
First, Mom, then my Kingdom, and now you. When will your reign end, Ruby?
I'm sorry, Mother. I tried to warn you all, but none of you seemed to…..awwwkkk....listen."
*Tingalinadingggg*
"WITCH, If you're back to end it all, then you can just forget it.
You're banished from ever coming….What's this?"
" 'Sorry, Natysh. Sorry for everything. Sorry for what I did, and what I will do.' "
"For what you will.........…..….MOTHER!!!!!!"
*Zroom*
"Nooooooooooooooooo. Curse you WITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Ruby, what are you doing down here and why with our queen? Even dead, she still scares us with her eyes."
"Can I have the seed? Then I will get out of your hair."
"You destroy everything, then come seeking to take the last thing that makes us whole?"
"Here you go, Ruby."
"Don't you dare give it to…."
"Thanks."
*Zroom*
"Head Mistress, I rounded up all the kids I thought were mine. What are you doing with Sky?"
"Where's Morando? We have to place them together."
"Over there.
What are you going to do?"
"Give the old man what he wants.
Here's the seed.
Once I place them together, I'll ask for it and lay it between their interlocked hands."
"You're going to replant the Tree of Life here?"
"Fast learner."
"But you said nobody is to be trusted outside of Upfront.
Especially for something this important."
"Yes."
"Then why replant a Nation? Their is a reason why the Tree was hidden, so that it could be protected."
"Exactly. People will expect to see this tree hidden…..it won't be there….then protected by Dropfarra...….again nowhere. No one will suspect it to be here under the watchful eye of a race who knows nothing to do with it."
"So, you are trusting people again?"
"Don't push it.
Ready."
"Here you go."
*Hmmmmppphhh…..Huuuuuuu*
"It was great while it lasted.
Here goes nothing."
