"Well, I thought that meet up would have gone better. Leah has talked a lot of high things about him but I can see that like us; he is set in our ways. There he goes."
"Ellen, You forgot that Leah is a mom which means that even if there are flaws in their children; they do their best to only tell others about the happy traits. Now that he is leaving; what do you think we should do?"
"You heard Hopper. I don't want any of you getting hurt when there is no need for it. Stay back, recover your strength and we'll fight Dragon tomorrow. As for me, my hope lies in Hopper."
" You can't be serious. That man just dissed you in every way possible straight to your face but for some reason you still like him?"
" I know, but it's the way he dissed me. Since there was so much truth in what he said then of course I am hurt but how can I be mad at him?"
"We're coming with you. We've come this far and will not turn back now without you. Wherever you go we go. Where you die; we die and where you kill; we kill. You yourelf are tired so why are you telling us to remain behind."
"Brothers and sisters I know you don't want to stay behind but it's for the best. Go find my wandering cats and recover your strength. We'll hit Dragon hard today so that he is winded, which means tomorrow when we come with an even bigger army then he'll hopefully have no energy left to fight."
"You just want to be on a team that you know will fight to the bitter end and will give their lives for each other. I don't blame you one bit. They all seem dedicated to their mission and will carry it out by any means necessary until their final breath."
"Exactly. Is that so much to ask all of you to do? That is what all of us should be embodying. Now stay here and recover. That's an order!!!
Hopper, wait!! I'm coming!!!!"
"Did you hear something? I thought I heard Ellen. Ellen!! Ellen!!! It's her. Halt Leviathan and turn around. I knew she would come to her senses sooner or later."
"Hopper, don't leave me. I want to come with you and defeat this menace. He attacked my family as well. Hopper!!! Don't...Don't you dare go behind that hill. You did!!"
"Ellen!! I'm coming for you. Just stay there."
"I'll meet you halfway!!"
"I see that your cheeks are red. You missed me already? I haven't been gone that long, you know."
"Just help me up."
"Here, take my hand my darling. I hoped that my truths wouldn't crush you or else it would have been true that there would have been no need of saving. You are strong willed but also tired."
"Never mind my state for you are tired as well. I couldn't sit by and let you all undo the mistakes on which I've caused. If it wasn't for me then you wouldn't have needed to create Dragon to show us our peril we are in"
"Ellen, you're not the one to blame for the church's action as a whole. You're just a member and have just as strong a will for change as I do. Now one…..two….heave!!"
"Ooo!! I think you meant to put me behind you."
"Ooh, must've been a slip of the hand."
"Did you really mean all that you said of going on a date with me, kissing me, and doing all of that stuff if we were in a different situation?"
"I meant every word. I try my hardest not to lie but I am human which means I make mistakes but why does the situation need to be changed. Can we not go on our first date here?"
"You just kissed me!!"
"Yes, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Just think of it. Our first date will kick off with killing a dragon. Best first date adventure in my book. Now get behind me and hold on tight as we hurry to join the others."
"Abby, is it true that you, Autumn and Genie helped raise Swift into the Dragon he is today?"
"Yes, but in our defense how were we supposed to know? He came to us as Shadow and since he could turn into a wolf we thought he was one of us. Everytime he cried and screamed at night we just thought that he was having a hard time transforming and kept screaming in agony everytime he tried to do it. It wasn't until he came out of the volcano taking on the embodiment of Dragon that we fully understood who he was and why we first found him fleeing from Dragon's house. Did you not keep caring for your son even when you found out that it was his goal to change everything that you held dear?"
"True statements but then why did you keep caring and raising him after the fact?"
"He posed no threat? He read the Bible with us everynight and we asked questions and shared our doubts back and forth. The only time he changed into Dragon was under the cover of night so that no one would know it was him. During the day he was a happy and charming Shadow but at night Dragons rules and terms took over his body and transformed him into his ultimate form. Shadow did his best to keep the killing to a minimum and same went for Dragon. That's why they built Nowhere and created the Mists so that everytime someone went against something they ordained then instead of killing them he would just send them to live out the rest of their days trapped in Nowhere."
"Then why has he begun killing?"
"Why does anybody start doing something. You have that burning sensation in you and it's like a bomb. Then one day out of the ordinary; one small push of your button sets it off and you can't hide it anymore. You have reached your peak of anger and now will express it at anybody who comes within arms length of you. One day Dragon slipped out during the day and upon transforming back into Shadow; a few people saw him and the word of who he was spread like a wildfire. We could no longer hide who he was."
" So in a sense you three were like Mary and Joseph. You raised a boy who you had no idea who he was but then once you found out that he was more powerful than anything you could ever imagine then he turned into the one thing that destroyed everything you based your life upon…..and turned it to dust."
"That's a bit excessive but you kind of did the same with Hopper and there are countless more stories like that all throughout the Bible."
"So then this must make you sad that you have to now kill the one boy that has brought nothing but joy to your lives and has been raised like one of your owns."
" Please, I try not to think of that. I wish I could forgive and forget; just like you did with your son."
"Actually I have…..never mind. Where is Hopper anyways? My Son!!! Has anyone seen my son?"
"Here I am father. Out of all the people; this girl here has not shrunk back when I lashed hard truth at her."
"Hello sir!!"
"Maam! I see you are holding my boy awfully tight?"
"Sir, there are no seatbelts on this thing and I would hate to fall off now."
" If that's all then I'm fine with it but you and I both know that there is more to the story. I may be old but that doesn't mean my mind has gotten weaker. Hold him tight now you hear. That's a good man there but he is the only family I have left."
"Yes sir."
"Where even is this Dragon in the flesh?"
"There he is!! He's sitting atop that burned down church. Right there with his tail wrapped around the cross."
"I see him now. What's your plan?"
"Half of you go around back. I'll lead the charge forward."
"Ahhh, my two favorite people. Hello Autumn, Genie, and Abby. I thank you for raising me but please don't cry as you see what I've become. How can you stand on that side when there is deceit in your heart? I can smell the fear in you."
"Dragon, you have shown your immense power and have proven your point. The church is going weak and is prone to collapsing, but if you come down now and stop this madness then we will forgive you. There is no need to carry this on any further."
"Forgive me! How can you forgive me if you can't even forgive your own son? Now bow at my feet and I will give you all what you rightfully deserve."
"We would rather die than bow to an insolence like you!!"
"I tried to be fair with you but if death is what you seek then I am more then happy to honor you in that."
"Get down!!"
"BURN!!!!!"
"Attack!!"
"Wolfs from Dreamworld hear my call and dispose of these heathens!!!"
"Bravo team advance!!"
"Wait, what! Tricksters and deceit. Should've known this was your play. Beasts of my world come forth!!"
"Behemoth, Leviathan go!! Giants, do what you do best and if someone comes at you saying that their name is No one; then kill them anyways."
" Hopper, you're trying to reference Cyclops. Giants and Cyclops are not the….whatever."
"I want a team evacuating everybody they can and then another finding men who will fight."
"Hopper, this Dragon loves to destroy churches and I know it may be a little late now but my church is trying to plant five churches in five years and these past few months we've not only started remodeling our church but building another one not even a few towns over. It's a small town that is fairly abandoned so we should try to flank him there."
" There goes your builders long hours of hard work to set it up but I don't think they'll mind. The church will be serving its purpose. Everybody follow Ellen!!"
"I can't. My foot is stuck. My foot is stuck. My foot is….aghhhhh!!"
"I'll burn this whole city to the ground if I have too; Christians and wanderers combined."
"Shield of protection!!"
"Your shield is weak!! It might have worked on other creatures less powerful than me but your little shenanigans will not work on me."
