"Ruby wanted a close knit circle so that not everybodies hopes would be high."
"Ruby doesn't know everything, and last I checked; we were the Kings and Queens...….and Heirs; but wasn't she somewhat responsible for the Attack in the first place?
And now she wants us…..I mean, you...to have us trust you two to craft an Antidote?
How long will that take, and how many Survivors? How much blood will be shed before that happens?
No.
While you two play around with 'Magic,' me and my family will help keep your butts safe, byt providing our defenses in the meantime."
"Moe, I have nothing against you and your family. I would love for you to get started on the defenses."
"Perfect."
"But they're only temporary.
You can put the Ships in, but once we get the cure ready; then you draw back."
"Ruby….."
"No.
The more they are out, the more people on shore will see them, and get all worried again. And....."
"Ruby doesn't want anyone to worry?"
"I...….don't want anyone to worry.
So, since Ruby isn't here, and I am....I am going to keep these people safe. With...…or without you.
Your defenses are amazing, but what happens when the Dragons break through?
We don't even know how many their are? Or Kids for that example."
"Ruby, my Defenses are top in the land. No. Top in the Kingdoms."
"Moe, everything always falls."
"Not my Dads plans."
"And when they do, you can only hold back for so long."
"You're lying."
"Doesn't matter how long it will take me; this Cure won't even run the risk......…the RISKKKKKKK...…of anything, or anyone breaking through.
Please."
"Emmmmmmmuuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!"
"Help me now, while we still can."
"MOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARE YOU OUT HERE, MOE?
...…MOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"What's it gonna be?"
"I.......I...…."
"MOE?
MOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Emmmmmmmuuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!"
"I SEE HIM. I SEE HIM.
MOE, STAY WHERE YOU ARE AT. WE ARE COMING FOR.....YOU?"
"I thought you said he was right here?"
*Scratch, scratch*
"I....I thought he was."
"What way was he headed?"
"Looked to be back to Town."
"Then let's head that way."
".......I hope you're right about this, Rainbow."
"Remember; we want a creature alive.
Ruby and I may have found a way to help the effects, but it would work one at a time; and since we don't know how many Familys are out there; we can't be certain.
Secondly, not all of our Kids are all of the Creatures.
Would take way too long."
"Then what do you suggest?"
"I don't know yet, but I just need to see one up close and in person.
Can't help what you can't see."
"Then I can go back home?"
"Yes."
"Question.
Where are you and Ruby even planning on doing the experiments?
The Schools lab will soon be full of Kids; unless you hurry your caboose and go as fast as you can."
"No. No. Our Lab is not in the School."
"Then where?"
"It's at J......Ehmmmm….
Let's just focus on catching a Creature.
Preferably one that is not one of our Kids."
"Noted.
But even if we do catch one of our own, we can see how they went Rogue; so we can stop our own Kids from."
"Moe, what do you want?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you want to stop the Rogues, or stop the War?"
"Why can't we do both?"
"Then we need both.
Come on. I heard her cries just ahead.
Ummm.....That way."
