"Ummmm….I...
I want to say how sorry I am."
"Ruby, just like the fire burns away, so too shall your past."
"I......"
"Want to say S'more?"
"You guys and girls really hated your parents didn't you?"
"To the core."
"I hated their Wigs."
"Ther looks."
"Their style."
"I felt trapped."
"Lifeless."
"No soul to call my own."
"We all knew what to do….."
"None of us just wanted to do it."
"Sit down and have a smore with us? You'll love it."
"Ruby, are you ok?
What's wrong?"
"I made a mistake.
An awfully big mistake, Rainbow."
"Ruby, you can't change the past."
"But it feels like you all are turning a blind eye.
Your parents may have been evil, but they were still your parents."
"Not anymore."
"Yeah; thanks to me."
"Ruby, what's bothering you?"
"I don't know this world, Rainbow; and I fear that my anger and hatred..."
Produced life?"
"Ahhhaaahaahaaahaaahaaaaa."
"Good one. Good one. Moe, why haven't we done this sooner?"
"......I don't know what to call it."
"You can call it freedom?"
"Rainbow, nothing in life is truly free."
"Ruby, stop looking on the horizon for the next danger, and focus on what is."
"Somebody's gotta be looking.
*Huueeew*
Two graham crackers, and a piece of chocolate please."
"Well, whatever danger comes, we'll be ready."
"Aaaaah...ouuuucccchhmmm.....Mmmmmm…..Mmmmmm....Mmm...MMMM."
"I know you will....."
*Shing, shing, shing, shing, shing.*
"Son, put that away before you injure someone."
"Sorry, Dad."
"And Moe might, but that makes our future very grim."
"So, you'll stay?"
"To be honest, this is not the future I was expecting to walk back into."
"Nobody can plan for the future, Ruby.
You may have been a great warrior on the battlefield, but fighting requires more than just raising a sword."
"I can raise my voice if you want."
"No, no. I'm good.
From what you told me of Dragonfrog's singing, and if he be one of you, I don't want you scaring the Kids and causing another Outbreak."
"Rainbow."
"Yes?"
"Can you do something for me?"
"Anything?"
"........Can you teach me to fight?"
"What? You should be teaching us."
"My Seed's gone.
Please?
I don't want to be a helpless Normal for the rest of my life."
"Darius makes it look fun."
"But he's a boy."
".......Understandable.
Tell you what. I'll teach you, if you teach me a little something."
"And what's that?"
"Teach me how to take your place."
"Woo...wooo…..wooo. You do not want to be a Protector. Trust me."
"Why shouldn't I?"
"You'll be hated wherever you go, and justice will be put in your hands. That is what made things so hard."
"I am always hated for what I do. Even you hate me."
"Yeah, when I first met you."
"And now?"
".........You may be the coolest Normal I have ever seen."
"Ruby."
"Yes?"
"You need to stop calling us Normals."
"Why?"
"Because you are now one."
