"Rainbow, you didn't know; and it wasn't until after I left that...….…Rainbow."
"We'll be good here."
*Vroom*
*.........Shing*
"Rainbow, don't throw those Swords away."
"I just broke the most sacred rule I told you.
I don't…..kill...…..Kids.
Little did I know, that is what I've been doing all along."
"Rainbow, they are not Kids.
Not anymore."
"Everybody is a Kid, Ruby. Doesn't matter how far gone.
Just wish I knew sooner. Wish I could have helped them more like the others, instead of."
"Don't say it.
We all wish we could change the past. Me, more than others, but maybe we can use our past to change our future; together."
"How?"
"We just did."
"And that…..Key....is the key?"
"It led to a locked room, that my parents told me never to go in.
One day, while my parents weren't looking, I stole the key, planning to unlock its mysteries for myself; but I had to come here later that day. So, I took it with me, and guess...I didn't take it back."
"What do you think it leads to?"
"Hopefully, my past; and your future.
.......The Antidote."
"What are we waiting for?"
"I'm not a scientist; are you?"
"Well, no; but..."
"Exactly.
After all the research, all my parents could come up with was a way to diminish my effects for a day, no longer.
If we can figure out how to extend its reach; then maybe.....just maybe."
"What to test it on......and where?"
"Jasmine's lab is the best place as of any. She already has Rogues and others captured."
"What if.....what if we kill them? We'll be no better off."
*Tick…..tick*
"That's the one problem I hate about your generation."
"What?"
"......You're too soft.
...….Come on."
*Vroom*
"Ruby, what's that smell?"
"Home, Rainbow.
Home."
"Mreeeeoowwwww"
"Woooo, watch it Kodkod."
"The house feels so empty since last I was here."
"No screaming Kids?"
"No anything."
"Room's upstairs."
"Ruby."
"Yes?"
"What happened to us?"
"Life, Rainbow.
Life.
We grew up."
"So that's what that feeling is like?"
".....You'll get used to it."
"No, I don't think I will."
*Huuuuuu.....Phuueeeeeewww*
"Ready?"
"If the future lies behind that door, then I have nothing to lose."
"Be prepared to lose more than you think."
*Click….shink…shi…shiii…click.
Earrrrrrooooooouuuuurrr*
"You smell that?"
*Awwcckkkh…..Awwwwcccckkkhh..*
"Yeah. The smell of death."
"Hit the lights, will ya?"
*Flick*
"Wooooooooo!!!!!!!!
Ruby."
"Yes, Rainbow?"
"Are you sure you knew who your parents were?"
