"What do you two want?"

He goes outside and sees his friends waiting for him: a Geosaurus and a Trinacomerium. "I wanted to drop by and ask if you're ready to beat up the Outlaws tomorrow!" The Trinacomerium is very excitable, a perfect contrast to the subdued Allen.

"Maybe...Maybe not...I'm afraid I can't talk with you right now...If Don Morris sees me outside this late at night he's gonna--"

"HEY! ALLEN! GET YOUR ASS BACK INSIDE THE CAVE!"

"You'd better go now!" The Trinacomerium and Geosaurus swim away.

Allen swims to the back of the cave and sees Don Morris. Morris is Allen's adoptive father; an Archeleon who was a war-scarred veteran. He was very strict, and simply cannot go a day without hollering at somebody.

"What's the rule about leaving our cave at night? DON'T. Not if it's 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM!" Morris reminds Allen about their rule.

"Sorry, Morris, the Outlaws were trying to kill me! Do you want me to die or not?"

"You're not going to die if you don't go outside. But you will if you leave at night. You know the Outlaws like to kill young Rebels at the later hours! And yet you still decided to leave, after I done told you not to leave the house!"

"The Outlaws scared me out of the house so that they could hunt me down! It's not my fault!"

"Oh."

The two stare.

"Sorry. I understand that there's a really awful thing going around recently. The Outlaws, I think they're called? They've been destroying our populations on the land and in the seas."

"I know. I try not to get involved in it."

"That's a good thing. Go to sleep, Allen."

Allen swims to his room and closes the door.

Vulture attempts to grab Adder's neck and pull him to the ground, but Adder kicks him. Vulture falls out of the tree and swears revenge. "I underestimated you just this once, Adder. Next time, you simply die."

With that he leaves, and everyone follows him. The Rebels look at each other as if to say, "What the fuck just happened?"

Nevertheless everyone is free and not tied up, and they trek back to the Ruined Castle.

"That was awesome! You just hopped into the tree and threw the phone at Gloom and that made a distraction for Randall to kill the Brontosaurus and--"

"Yeah, I guess. Is there a day that could be any bloodier than this? When I jumped down a ravine to save Lucious, fought off a Stegoceras posse, ran from a Sinraptor through the Ruined Castle, walked all the way there to save you?"

"I guess not."

"So I'm going to be staying with you guys now. Forever. No abandoning you, and making you extremely worried. I guess by saving Lucious I ended up causing more trouble for you than I did Lucious or me..."

"Hey everyone! I'm joining the Rebels now. Where do I stay?" The Great Bandit walks up to Adder.

Adder stares at Cinder, who stares back with a stupid expression. He puts his hands on Cinder's head and whispers. "KILL ME NOW."
