THE BAND OF THE GREEN DINO III

Jeremy: “You may be right, Wally. From the way he’s looking at us, basic psychology tells me he wants to help but he may be shy to come near. We should motivate him. Hurry up, Mario; go talk to him.”
Mario: “Why me? Why do I always get to do the most difficult task in this group? You four are bullying me. I’ll report you to Cap.”
Shades: “The spoiled kid. I see you’re still the adorable little baby of your mother.”
Mario: “Repeat what you just said, Shades. You think you have more guts than me, huh? Why don’t you go talk to the watcher yourself? What are you waiting for, Shades? Don’t tell me the big guy scares you. Come on; prove for once that you have the grit.”
Shades: “What are you thinking, Mario? I’m going but if it turns bad, somebody use their faith to get me out of there ’cause I feel I have none right now.”

Jeremy: “Have you forgotten? Ryan said we didn’t need to have faith but to acknowledge that we have it since it isn’t our faith but that of the Agape, which is one hundred percent perfect. That’s what we use to change things.”
Shades: “Whatever you say, Jeremy; whatever you say. But promise you’ll only use the faith of the Agape for I don’t trust your faith a whit. Well guys, wish me good luck.”
Mario: “Denver, cover Shades in case Jeremy’s faith fails him.”
Denver: “Yeah, yeah, Mario.”
Jeremy: “If that’s how you want to proceed with faith, you’ll lose everything. With the faith of the Agape, there’s no plan B or second option: either it passes or it passes. Period! That’s what it means to trust Him.”
Wally: “Silence, guys; Shades is getting close.”

Broly was leaning against a tree and facing the direction of the children. He had been observing the boys for a while and everything they did aroused his curiosity. Like the previous day, the scene totally captivated him so that he forgot himself and watched them overtly. He followed their attempt to build the house and was sorry to see their clumsiness. He wished he could help but since they were more grown up than his teammates of Always One, he feared and dared not approach them. Now one of them was walking in his direction and not knowing what to do, he only stood up and watched him coming.

When Broly rose to his feet, Shades got the whole picture.

Mario: “This is hopeless. The wind blew down everything we raised last time. This work is never going to finish. I’m done with it.”
Wally: “It’s in times like this that I’d give everything to be friends with the Constructicons. They’ll finish it in minutes.”
Shades: “You’d be deceived if you were their friend, Wally. Ask Omega Red and he’ll tell you. Constructicons are Decepticons and they’ll only trick us and dispossess us of our house at the end of the day.”

Jeremy: “This is no time to talk discouragement. Everyone, back to work or we’ll never finish this. Pass the shovel, Denver. Our monument didn’t stand the wind because we didn’t dig enough. We’ll have to dig even deeper if we want a strong foundation.”
Mario: “What do you know about building, Jeremy? I told you we had to ask for help but Mr Brain thought he could do without the Builders.”

Jeremy: “Who needs the Builders when we have this book? Everything is here, Mario. We can do it if we really put ourselves into digging, instead of hanging out exposing unbelief. Our only problem is the sand. We must handle it on a large scale if our house has to be solid. But I don’t know how we’re going to do it. No worries. I’m sure we’ll find something once we’re done digging; though I can’t help thinking that if Terrax the Tamer was here, he would quickly bend the sand for a firm foundation.”

Shades: “You’d be sorry for yourself if Terrax the Tamer was here. He’ll wreck this place with his cosmic scythe and turn it upside down. And you think he’ll stop there? Nooo. He’ll create a bolt to strike the sea and push the waters inland. Then the mighty waters will rise and flood the entire region. Our beach and whatever hut we managed to build will all disappear.”

Jeremy: “You’re not helping, Shades. Come on, guys; you want our dream house to be reality or just imagination? It’s as if I’m the only one who’s on the project. Denver, follow me and let’s start digging.”
Denver (mimicking fatigue): “I’m tired.”

Mario: “You see, Jeremy; even Denver is exhausted. If you can’t do something, you can’t do it. We tried several times in the past and didn’t succeed. I’m seriously thinking we should get help instead of relying on your book.”
Jeremy: “It’s your pessimism that will make us not have this house any time soon.”
Wally: “Guys, have you noticed the man under the tree?”

Shades: “Yeah; the watcher. And he’s not even trying to be discreet. A poorly educated kid.”
Mario: “Like you, Shades.”
Wally: “His build is like that of a superhero. Maybe he can help in the construction. What do you think?”
