"Who here feels pumped after Jacklyns motivation speech? Show of hands."
"Me."
"Me."
"Me."
"Me."
"Me."
"Me."
"Ahh, come on. I can't see those hands."
"ME!!!!!!!"
"That's.....what I'm talking about."
"But what does Jacklyn mean by 'hard work'? I thought people were just born with skills...…like us."
"Kid, look at your mom. Do you think she was born yesterday?"
"Welll….no. I was there when she raised me. I know she worked to put food on the table, and skates on my feet. For that, I am thankful for her. Everynight, she tucks me in, reads me a bedtime story, and then says she loves me. That's when I know she truly means it."
"...........Well I'M NOT READING YOU a bedtime story!!!!"
"Ruby?"
"This....right here is called a training course. Before you can shine in the lights up above, you will train down here until you feel able enough to finally climb up out of the pit, and face your first adversary."
"She means when you feel you're tired; you can just click the button on the Elevator and go back up."
"Oh."
"I do?"
"Thank you, Ruby; but these are Kids remember? I told you not to train them like soldiers."
"Sorry."
"That's ok. I'll take it from here."
"But you don't train."
"You just heard the Kid. Being a mom provides the highest training anyone could ever receive. Trust me."
"I.....I…..
Go stand over there and watch.
Or, if you'd like to demonstrate the Course, you can."
"Ummmm…yeah.
Kids, follow me. I'll show you how it's done."
"Ruby is not a girl of many words is she?"
"When you lead the Beast Hunters, you don't need them. You learn to trust each other's instincts."
"Kids, don't worry. She doesn't hate you. She just sees Beast Hunter spirit in all of you, but can get a little frazzled when we are too slow to have confidence in ourselves."
"She could have been a little nicer. I don't want to train our Kids to be…."
"A bunch of big softies?
Then prove her wrong. Prove to her that you can take the average Joe take them through the same rigorous training as the best of them. Then, at the end of the day…."
"Crush her with your skills."
"Now, these Uniforms that you will receive in a few hours are not your typical uniform. With them, you will be able to stretch, destress, and turn into your best.
Follow my lead."
"Lion here, your faithful instructor, will never let any of you fall. I promise."
"Who's saying Ruby will fall? She's running through those obstacles like they are made of…."
*Pow*
"Ouch."
"Better luck next time, Ruby. Shake it off and try again later."
"No. I can do this. I have to show everyone how strong they are."
"Ruby, the best heroes are not afraid to show their weakness."
"I'm not weak."
'Yes you are, Ruby. Your lack of training shows.'
"Uggghhh…..shut up Headmaster. I'm stronger then you ever will."
"Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!"
"She's getting up. She's getting up."
"GO, RUBY!!!!"
"GO, RUBY!!!!"
"GO, RUBY!!!"
"Phuuewwww. We gotta time the swinging poodles just right.
One......….two.........….three...….."
"What's she doing? She's just standing there on the bridge.
You have to be faster or else the enemy will strike."
"Kids, before you can learn your enemies moves, you gotta learn your own. Ruby has demonstrated that being fast....does not always mean being first.
Going slow and planning out your moves....is just as empowering."
"Phuuu…..phu...phuuuuuu...….phuuuu….phuuuuuu.
*BIIIINNNGGGGGGGGGGG*
"You did it, Ruby. You pressed the buzzer."
"Why is that Buzzer so loud?"
"You'll be happy it is when everyone else in the room will be able to hear it. Promise you.....that little tiny button is going to be your greatest achievement."
"Even better then Santa giving me everything I wanted fot Christmas last year for the first time? Usually he messes up, but not this time."
"Even better than Santa remembering your Christmas list."
"Yessssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!"
"That must be one very magical button."
"Oh, it so is."
