No. No! Give them back! Give me back my brother, give me back my father, please! Don't hurt them! Please don't hurt anybody else!

You can do whatever you want to me. You can turn me into one of those things for your project. Just... please, don't hurt my family!

Fletcher. We'll get through this alright.

[Voice]

[greennotgold]

Kang, they're gone, we're all going to disappear, we're all going to die!

[Voice]

[bozakcommander.livejournal.com]

Half the people on this island are too damn stubborn to die.

[Voice]

[greennotgold]

[Doesn't have a good answer for that, so just have some crying.]

[Voice]

[bozakcommander.livejournal.com]

Hey, don't cry. Think about it. They're desperate, they're bound to make a mistake that we can take advanta-

[silence]

[greennotgold]

...Kang?

K-Kang? Kang, where are you? Say something!

[Voice]

[She sounds like she's been crying.]

I'm glad you're alright, Fletcher.

Iris, they're gone! We're all going to die!

Re: [Voice]

[lilywhiteiris.livejournal.com]

We'll be okay, Fletcher. I have to believe that.

Re: [Voice]

[greennotgold]

But how?! They're going to kill us! [His voice is panicked, almost shrieking.]

Re: [Voice]

[lilywhiteiris.livejournal.com]

Fletcher... [She doesn't know what to say.]

H-Hey... calm down! We're going to sort through this, kid! They're not gonna win! What's your family going to think if they get back and then find out the company took you to do... to do whatever! I bet it'd break them.

There's gotta be another way. I'll find it, just wait.

[voice]

[greennotgold]

It-it's worth it if it would save them.

I'm so scared...

[voice]

[theherotail.livejournal.com]

Giving yourself up isn't worth it, it's reckless. [he chuckles shortly, because hell, he knows all about being reckless, but seriousness filters back in] If there's a way to save everyone without giving ourselves up, then the people left will find it.

[he continues softly] Don't be scared, that's just what the enemy wants. Even kids like you can be strong, right?

[voice]

[greennotgold]

But if they want more of those things, I-I'm okay with it. If it'd save my family.

...I... I'm not strong at all. I'm not. My brother's the strong one and he's gone now.

[voice]

[theherotail.livejournal.com]

...if they get more of those things, then more people will get hurt... something like this city could just keep happening... your family could - [he stops himself]

I'm not asking you to fight. I'm asking you to be brave and believe. If we let them get us down like this... it's just asking them to defeat us. I bet wherever our friends and family were taken; they're doing what they can to get back to us.

You become one of those creatures, and you'll have to fight against them.

I think you're stronger than you give yourself credit for. How long have you survived in this city? Even if you've had help, that's an impressive feat. It's hard for the best of us to do, but here you are!

[voice]

[greennotgold]

[He doesn't answer for a while, just thinks that over, still crying and breathing heavily. It's the only way he can think of to save them... and Tagruato isn't answering, so even that won't work. There's nothing he can do. He's...]


I'm not strong.

[voice]

[theherotail.livejournal.com]

[he keeps his voice soft, still]

Then I'll be your strength, kid.

[voice]

[greennotgold]

[Silence.]

[Voice, and very angry]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. We're going to MAKE them give them back.

[Voice]

[greennotgold]

But how? What are we supposed to do? We're all going to...

[Voice - Whimpering]

[aherounleashed.livejournal.com]

NO ONE'S going to be hurt!

[Voice]

[greennotgold]

Bolt, what are we supposed to do?

[Voice]

[aherounleashed.livejournal.com]

FIGHT!

[Voice]

[greennotgold]

But how?! How are we supposed to fight them?! They can just make us disappear!

[Voice]

[aherounleashed.livejournal.com]

We'll find them! They can't hide forever!

[Voice]

[greennotgold]

B-Bolt... Bolt, what do you think they're doing with the people they take? The only thing they could be doing is...

[Voice - GROWLING]

[aherounleashed.livejournal.com]

They're not going to KILL ANYONE!

[Voice]

[greennotgold]

People have already died here! Everyone's going to...

Dad, Brother, no, they might already be dead...

[Voice]

[aherounleashed.livejournal.com]

They're not! They're NOT!

[Voice]

[greennotgold]

[Silence.]

[eba03.livejournal.com]

Kid.

I can tell you for a fact that if you gave in to those bastards, your family would be very cross with you.

[Voice]

[greennotgold]

I don't care. I don't want them to die. I can't let them die.

[eba03.livejournal.com]

They're not going to.

No person is going to sit back and die for these guys. I can promise you, no one is going to let these guys get what they want. And you shouldn't be the first.

[Voice]

[greennotgold]

Kang just disappeared. We're all doomed, we're all going to die, there's no way to stop them, we're all...

[eba03.livejournal.com]

Now hold up.

I don't remember there being any indicator that anyone's dead yet. I sure don't plan on it.

Wherever they're taking people, when I get there, I plan on kicking an ass or two.

[greennotgold]

But--! But what if you don't get a chance? What if they just... What if... I...

[eba03.livejournal.com]

There's no way to predict the future, little man. A million what ifs in every direction.

What if they don't give you the chance? Then gosh, not much point in worrying. What if they do? Plan for that. Plan to take some names.

[greennotgold]

[Sniffle.]

I... I'm...

[It cuts off there.]

[eba03.livejournal.com]

...Give 'em hell.
