A Life Lesson Learned(?)

You turn around and walk back to the girls.

"This fight is done," you say.

"No it's not!" he yells. "I haven't given up, and you haven't knocked me out!"

Val-Yor lunges at you.

*CRACK* You use your Blue Explosion technique to fire your elbow into Val-Yor's gut.

*WOOSH* You use Blue Explosion to fire your foot into the air, and you spin around.

*WHAM* Your shin slams into the back of Val-Yor's neck. He falls to the floor in a heap.

"There. You're knocked out." You continue your walk back to the girls.

The six of you enter Onyx's ship, and take off, leaving Val-Yor on Sweetzor. Luckily for him his ship is still there.

While Flashfire takes a second shower to scrub the racist perv germs off her leg, you sit with Foxy and Blackfire on the ship's crescent table.

"I can't believe a hero like Val-Yor was a racist..." Foxy says, her ears drooping.

"I can't believe a hero like Val-Yor was a pervert!" Nuh says from the co-pilot chair.

"I can't believe we let him touch our faces!" Onyx says from the pilot's chair.

"Well, that's how it is," you say. "'Great' people can have huge flaws that, once you find out about them, make them far less great."

You stand outside the door of the bathroom.

"Flashfire," you call. "You okay in there?"

"Yes," she calls back. "Can't believe I was losing to a guy like Val-Yor."

"Don't worry," you say. "You'll get stronger after your Changing, when you get your lazer eyes. You haven't gone through that, have you?" (NOTE: The "Changing" is the Tamaranian equivalent of puberty, where the end result is always an increase in strength and the addition of lazer eyes)

"Not yet," she replies. "Is it going to be bad?"

"That'll depend on what happens. I had blue fur grow all over my body, and I looked like an animal for about a week or more."

"And I was COMPLETELY purple for about the same time," Blackfire calls loudly.

"I bet you looked liked I would if I had a mouth!" Nuh jokes. Everyone shares a laugh, then you yawn.

"I'm going to bed," you say. "Blackfire? Care to join me?"

"But of course!"

Blackfire gets up and follows after.

"No doing any of 'that'!" Flashfire calls out.

"We won't," you falsely promise.

"Really?" Blackfire whispers.

"No," you whisper back. "But we won't do anything that will make noise."
