"....Because your princess is in another castle."
"And we…..the brave valiant protectors will make sure she stays there."
"So you're gonna have to go through us if you want her back."
"Then come through I…
Hey…hey. Get your hands off of me.
Rainbow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RAIN…BOWWWWW!!!!!
I will be back for you. Mark my words. I...will….be….back."
*Click*
"Get in there before we…"
*Aaaaaaaaaaghhhh*
"Oh no. It's the hooded Lin. Arm yourselves."
*Shing….shing*
..*Ting…ting…ting…ting…ting…ting."
"Let…..him….go."
"Never. Your Powers have no effect on me…"
*Phueee…Phueee….*
"But she might."
"Duck. It's the evil…"
*What's going on…"
*BURNNNNNNNNN*
"Vine Shield!!!!"
"Oh crap…
Aaaaghhh. I can't stop. I can't….."
*crash*
"Ummmm."
"I leave for not more than twenty minutes. Come back....and see you taking the meaning of 'running in the halls' to a completely….."
"We're just trying to help you visualize and remember."
"You've been able to protect the Kids from themselves."
"And this School will teach people that they can be protected from them."
"But can the Kids be protected from....."
"Each other?"
"Yes....yes they can. I told you to trust me. To trust Jacklyn.
With these uniforms they can detect if you are weak, and if so will create a small defense shield aorund you long enough for you to get help or run away safely."
"Defense shield? That's it? Ruby, defense is not offense. People can still break through."
"I know, but this way if kids are starting to get bullied in the halls; these uniforms won't let them be able to punch back, but block…..long enough for people to take notice and either peers to step in…..or Teachers."
"And what if they don't? What if they take them off?"
"Or take them home?"
"Ruby, why haven't you at least added your weapons in a suit? You know….give them an added superpower"
"Owl...…Tai and I tried that before, but then we realized something and said no."
"What? What could be more protective than a super suit?"
"The person....inside…..the super suit.
If I were to give you one million dollars right now, what do you think would happen when…"
"Make it two."
"Fine. What do you think would happen when you wake up one day and realize your Two Mil is gone? You wouldn't know how to live with yourselves.
In the same way, if we gave you a Suit that can fight for you, I promise you that none of you would ever take it off. Never wash it, and take it with you literally...wherever you go. Then the day something were to happen where your suit finally does come off, you will be so weak thinking that your powers are the Suit and the suit alone, not realizing the powers all along were you. Your Suit was just an extension."
"So you rather have them beat each other up?"
"Wolfgirl, that is what Detention is for. To teach them not to do it again."
"But why not just stop it in the first place altogether?"
"Because then no one would learn?
..No mistakes would be made. We would be living in a bubble our whole lives. Our parents would force feed us even when we are adults; and their words of 'Tips, tricks, and warnings; would seem like meaningless useless advice to you. It's not until you do something bad that you realize the true importance of the good you should have been doing all along."
"So…"
"Don't worry. When they fall, and they will. They will split their heads open and bleed out, but then....and only then….will we help pick them back up. Send them to the Afirmary, and tend to their wounds."
"So you'd purposely let bullies….."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
".......Ruby, maybe you should get some rest just like Jacklyn. You've done enough...and you need it."
"But…."
"It shows."
"Then who here will keep you accountable? Heartchilds are busy. The four are gone. Rainbows with her sister, and the Kids…..they….."
"What about us?"
"You...….
Fine. I'll go."
"Where will you be?"
"I'll let the Kids play in the Training course when they're done so we can see for ourselves if…."
"I wasn't asking you. I was asking you, Ruby."
"If I told you, then you would never be held accountable. I would never make a mistake...…..and no lesson would be learned. Consider this...the Adult, finally looking away."
