"Thats mean!" a voice they all know says. Suddenly the Moltres
disappears and a very tired Zorro appears "it's hard to make...
Such a big.... Illusion....."

Darwin holds his head in his hands, Nik goes to hug Zorro and keep
him from falling over, and Momo smiles. "Thank you again. We
couldn't have done it without you... Let's go back. We can use our
room for a rest."
"But what about..." Nik starts to speak.
"Jessica knows our parents. She can tell them we're resting there
to keep an eye on Zorro."
They arrive at the Guild, and Jessica leads them to a room with six
beds. After Zorro is comfortable, the Pikachu leaves them
alone.
Nik goes to a bed, yawning. Darwin sits down but doesn't sleep,
Momo yawns, then curls up on a bed to sleep, glancing at Zorro
every now and then until sleep overwhelms her.
"Can't sleep either?" Darwin fiddles with a scalchop, the glowing
blue calming in it's own way. "Someone needs to protect them. That
was my job. But today, I felt so defenseless... It's not to be
expected of me, it never should be..."
"Indeed..." Darwin starts to nod off, then downs an Awakening. "I'm
ruined. Because of my reputation being shattered, they won't think
the same of me."
Auron shakes his head "it was never you who had to protect all. It
was US! So if Reputation is shadered they will see it AS everyones
Reputation. They will always See the same thing in you. You!"

"But look what happened, Auron! We were given a mission so vague we
had no way to defend ourselves! I don't personally protect the
people we assist in missions, Auron. That's not what I'm talking
about. I protect you, my friends. I care so much about my
reputation among you five because I don't have anyone else!"
Darwin's eyes begin to water. "No one else..."
Auron hugs him "i know what you mean. You will always be our
protector! And if Chiffon would be able to think less then the best
of someone, then he wouldn't be himself. And i think the Rest also
thinks that way with you. And in top of that, you were the only one
who has Been able to free US. Thanks again!"
