Mother 4

[Forte]

It had been one week since Allegro, Adagio and Hauptstimme gathered the last two people they needed. Abner was outfitted with a new arm, radically different from the replacements that Lento had been given. The description the medical scientists gave it was "an advanced weapon that doubled as a prosthetic", attributing to its size. It was grossly disproportionate to Abner's natural arm, yet his overall size and demeanor made it seem as if it had been part of him his entire life. Lento assigned Abner the number 5, and presented him with the name Zahlzeit.

Livius, in contrast, was given a new, naturally sized pair of legs, though they left his legs unnaturally thin. It took a few days for him to begin to understand how walking worked, but he got the hang of it quickly. His number, completing the set, was 6. Inspired by his ceaseless and vigorous drive to learn to walk, Lento gave him the name Brio.

Lento realized he could put it off no longer. The day had, to his dismay, finally arrived, and he would have to deliver the news of his accomplishments to Porky. For a moment he wondered if Porky, due to his confinement, could actually tell if the task had been completed. On one hand, if he couldn't, there was no need to tell him, and he could simply wait inside of that device until the day he died. On the other, if he could... which, on multiple occasions he had implied, the consequences of Lento's inaction would be more than he could bear.

Lento walked into the cave and traversed the short path to Porky's machine, his mind made up. Today would be a cloudy day... tomorrow might be as well, but at least this way, he could assure that it wouldn't rain.

Lento: The job's done. I have all of the people you told me to get, it's your turn to start explaining to me what's going on and what you're up to.

There was silence.

Lento: Are you going to answer me?

Porky's wheezing voice began to ring in Lento's mind.

Porky: Who do you think you are, giving me orders? I don't have to explain anything to you!*cough*
Lento: Pity me.
Porky: Well... if you put it that way... I'm quite interested in establishing my rule on this planet once more. There is now one of you... one for every continent on the face of Earth. It's that simple.
Lento: You want us to take over the world? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Porky: Of course it is. But not just take over the world... no. I want the world reshaped... I want it rebuilt. Take as long as you need, *cough* but the ultimate goal is to remove every trace of nature from it. Replace it with symbols of my superiority.
Lento: Remove... nature? What?
Porky: Take all of it away. The trees, the grass, the animals... take the dirt away if you have to! *wheeze* Remove it all. Replace it with our technology. Build up cities... oh, whatever. Talk to the ones you brought from my time. They'll be able to tell you what to do.
Lento: ... I don't understand or believe what you're telling me. You're crazier than I thought.
Porky: You'll see, given time. Oh, and send a small squad down here to destroy this time machine. You won't be needing it anymore.

Lento turned around and walked away.

Porky: Don't get any ideas. This will play out like I want it to play out, or I will make your life hell. Count on it.

Lento left the cave and went back out into the warm sunlight. To his surprise, his six colleagues had all gathered near the entrance.

Lento: What's going on?
Hauptstimme: I made the assumption that... you might need us today... so I got all of us together and decided we would wait for you.
Lento: Oh...
Zahlzeit: Did we gather for no reason?
Allegro: We damn well better have gathered for a reason. I've got a lot of crap to teach this kid.
Lento: It's probably a good thing you're all together. I have our mission.
Hauptstimme: Ah... I've been wondering for so long...
Lento: We're to take over the world.

This simple statement brought a myriad of expressions to the faces of the men who were gathered there. The only one completely oblivious to the magnitude of what Lento had just said was Rallentando, who was picking a few small yellow flowers from a nearby shrub.

Adagio: Take over the world? As in... establish... military control?
Lento: I assume?
Hauptstimme: But that's what brought us here to begin with. That thirst for world domination...
Lento: It can't be helped. I'm sorry.
Allegro: Sorry? It's a dream come true! Oh how many times I looked at all of the people in the world... they were stupid, each of them slaves to the leaders of the "free world"... There could have been nothing more appealing than to become one of those leaders; to instill some sort of common sense into the people! We could have ended it. Everything would have been fixed right there! And now here's...
Hauptstimme: What are you saying? Everything in this time seems to be so peaceful! How can you believe it's a good idea to ruin that peace?!
Brio: I see where he's coming from though. Even if we do disturb the world, we'll be the ones in charge. It won't go downhill as long as rational people are in charge, and we're all rational people here.
Allegro: And we live forever! We'll never have to worry about dying or finding heirs or anything like that! There will be no politics involved in it! There's no way we could ever play favorites... it's all a perfect plan! I'm all for it.
Lento: I guess... that's all I have to say. Feel free to go back to what you were doing... Oh, Zahlzeit, would you please send a group of men down into the cave and tell them to destroy the time machine?

Zahlzeit nodded and walked off. Allegro tapped Brio on the shoulder and motioned for him to come with him. Adagio had a sort of far off look in his eyes. He shrugged and went towards the clearing that he and Lento had met at previously.

Hauptstimme: Is this really what we're doing?
Lento: I have no choice. But, I do want to ask you something because I know your history as a scientist...
Hauptstimme: ... Go ahead.
Lento: As an addition to taking over the world... he wants us to remove nature from the world.
Hauptstimme: What?
Lento: That was my reaction.
Hauptstimme: We cannot do that. Without the natural systems in the world... we'll die. All of us on this planet.
Lento: I assumed as much. He's trying to kill us. All of us.
Hauptstimme: Then why are you playing his game?

Lento looked at Rallentando, who was still picking the small flowers. He could smell their aroma from where he stood.

Lento: Because for years she gave me kindness. Now I have to save her life.
Hauptstimme: You're kidding me.
Lento: I wouldn't joke about that.
Hauptstimme: No, I'm not talking about your feelings for her. I'm talking about what he's doing to you. Monster...
Lento: Yeah...
Hauptstimme: I'll tell you what. We'll play his game, but we'll play it our way. Give me two years. I can develop a method to remove the nature from this world. It'll take about a year worth of testing after I've finished up the basic method... but it should all be possible. The part that he won't see coming though... we'll save it. Samples of every species of every animal, plant... what have you. We'll keep them. It might disrupt the world, but we'll keep the things around that we need. I'll figure it all out.

Lento smiled for a moment.

Lento: You're really dedicated to helping me out even though we haven't known each other for very long.
Hauptstimme: You pulled me from the hardest moments I had ever faced in my life. It was only a matter of time before I was homeless and starving, and now I'm here... You probably don't think of yourself like this, but you're kind of a hero to me.

Lento didn't really know what to say about this. He walked over to Rallentando, who by now had her arms full of those little yellow flowers.

Lento: Rallentando... do you remember anything... about these flowers?
Rallentando: For some reason, I find myself attracted to them. I cannot say I know anything particular about them, except that they smell wonderful. Don't you agree?
Lento: Yeah, they do.
Rallentando: Are we doing anything important? I am very sorry, but I did not pay much attention when you were telling us what our mission is. These flowers kind of distracted me.
Lento: No... nothing's going on. Enjoy yourself. We have a lot of time to do nothing with.

[Forte]

And that, children, is how you achieve control of the world. There are some things here and there that you might be wondering about, but that's why we have a FAQ, now isn't it? Meanwhile, in the present, to save you the time of having to go two pages back, Porky has, against all odds, been beaten once more. Len's plan is now in motion to fix the problems he's started...



Len took a deep breath. He had never held this kind of power over someone, nor did he ever truly wish to. He looked at the broken mess that Porky had become.

Len: Why?
Porky: Why? Why what?
Len: Why is it that you've done all of this? I want to know now. Just tell me.
Porky: Because I wanted to change everything. I wanted to live in a world where I would be the hero.
Len: You went about it all wrong. I know as much of your past as I want to know. I can feel it on you. You've ruined so much in this world. That's no hero. That's a coward who wouldn't face his own faults.
Porky: What do you know about it?

Len clenched his fist. For the first time since Heron had known him, he began to speak with anger.

Len: I had someone that I had to protect at all costs. You will never know what that feels like because you do only for yourself! Every day for the past fifteen years... up until recently... I've hated myself. But never once did I take out any of my self hatred on another person. I lived to change the world just like you... the difference being that I wanted to change it for the better. I wanted to change it back and undo the things you've done.

Porky began to laugh.

Porky: Look at you. You're acting like fifteen years means anything to you. Try one-hundred. Hell, try five of those. Then see what you think about the world.
Len: Shut up!
Porky: Right now you're being a hero, putting on a fancy show for the people standing around you that you call "friends". The one you love... you say you had to protect her. Give it long enough, you'll be sick of her. You'll grow tired of this kid with the pink hair and his sick brother, you'll laugh at the day this boy and his girlfriend die... and you'll realize that in this world, you're all that matte-

Len kicked Porky in the face as hard as he could. The impact brought quite a pain to his leg, but Porky's jaw was clearly broken now.

Allegro: Damn! You should have told me you wanted me to do that, I wouldn't have even hesitated!
Porky: Really, now? Are you that tired of hearing me talk? You wanted to know why I've done this, yet you try to shut me up.
Falin: W...Why is he still talking?
Adagio: Everything about him is mechanical. He doesn't need to move his mouth to talk.
Porky: Smart kid, this sickly creature. I understand, Len. You don't really want to hear the truth. That's ok. I'll make it what you want to hear; I'm an evil person who wanted to end the world because he's a sick individual with no concern for human life.
Len: That's not what I wanted to know. I want to know what you're trying to prove. You said it yourself, everyone who isn't you is dead or dying. There's no one here you know, no one to prove it to.
Porky: That's where you're wrong! Three times now, I've been outdone by a few lucky individuals such as yourself. The thing is... it's against all odds. It shouldn't happen! I had allied myself with the ultimate evil! We were in an alternate dimension made of hatred! There was nothing protecting them, but out of nowhere... they received power. Then, I used what little alien technology I had left to found an army. I ended the world. Still, though, people survived. I had to get rid of them. What happened, though? Somehow, the last thread of humanity fought off everything I had. How did it happen?!
Heron: You're not as brilliant as you think.
Porky: No. It's not that. What I'm about to tell you is something that I haven't really ever wanted to come to terms with. I've never really wanted to believe it even though I was brought up to believe it... this kind of dumb luck... it can't be explained any other way. Our world... our universe... it is being watched over and read like a book by what humans have called God. And for whatever reason, God refuses to side with me. That is why I do this. I'm not out to laugh at Ness. I'm not trying to make a joke about Lucas anymore. I'm not trying to help Giygas get his revenge on the ugly humans... I'm laughing at this one who calls himself God. I'm laughing at you right now! You know I'm talking to you! Prove it! Prove that you have the power to stop me! Just go ahead and end me yourself! Will you?!

Allegro shook his head.

Len: You've played god for your entire life. You've tried to control everything around you. You've taken humans and modified them to your liking, combined animals and made entirely new ones, you even removed everything from this planet and had it replaced with your influence. And now, you're a miserable heap of metal and false flesh, an ugly effigy of the god you wish you were.
Allegro: Sit there and scream at God. You're not proving anything, except that you're insane.
Porky: You can't do anything! You won't do anything! I'm more powerful than you!

Len calmed himself down. It was obvious at this point that Porky was going to be no help to them. Len began to wonder if he ever wanted to use Porky to undo this in the first place.

Len: I'm faced with quite a conundrum here. On one hand, I could give the order and have your miserable life ended.
Allegro: I'm waiting! Please oh please...
Len: On the other hand, you don't deserve to die. It's too good for you, since even the slightest chance that you'll know the sweet taste of oblivion instead of paying for your misdeeds is too much of a chance for me. You truly are a master of cunning. Even killing you isn't a decision that can be made easily.

Allegro looked disappointed now. He knew all of this was true.

Len: The worst part is that your robotic body assures that you will know no pain, we can't starve you, and worst of all, you're completely mentally unaffected by everything.
Porky: I win.
Len: I refuse to let you win.

Len walked away from Porky and sat down on the floor. He put his face in his hands for a moment. Maria walked over to him and sat beside him. He looked at her and smiled.

Maria: Porky is all talk. You can think this through.
Len: ... Porky is indeed all talk. Completely immobile... unable to communicate telepathically... All he can do anymore to make himself feel any better is to talk to us... It's so obvious.

Len smirked.

Len: I will take your voice from you. Forever, you'll sit in silence.
Porky: ... You'll what?
Len: You will be taken to the medical unit and they will operate on you and remove whatever it is that produces your voice.
Porky: You can't be serious.
Len: Does the thought frighten you? To not be able to talk to anyone?
Porky: Ha. Whatever. Do it, for all I care. I'm still alive. I'll find a way to communicate.
Len: You can't lift your arms to write. You can't move your mouth because I broke it. Your telepathy is forfeit because your brain is a computer now. Without your voice, you can't communicate anymore. This time, I win.

[Forte]

Len stood up again and walked over to Porky. He motioned for the group of people with him to come closer to him.

Len: When you've done something as strenuous and amazing as we've done today... You tend to forget how worn out you really are...

He took a deep breath.

Len: But I have enough left in me to get us to the medical division.

Len grabbed Porky's hand and squeezed it as hard as he could. Even though Porky couldn't feel it, he liked to imagine that he was hurting him. He stuck his other hand out to whoever would grab it. Maria took it, and from her free hand started a chain with the other four. When Len made sure that everyone was joined up, he teleported the group to the medical division's portion of the tower.

Len: Alrighty... I hope we're at the right place.

The operating tables and bright lights gave away that, indeed, they were in the right place, albeit a bit ahead of themselves since they were already in the operating room. The few medics who were actually in there were quite surprised to have a large group of people suddenly appear. Len tried to stand up. It didn't work out so well.

Heron: Come on, you aren't going to make it this far and then not be able to move.

Heron walked over to him and helped him up.
Len: Thanks. Sorry I had to be a burden.
Heron: Well, I definitely wasn't about to get us here so quickly.
Len: Maria... I'm not sure if you were ever aware of it, but these are your people. You're in charge from this point.
Maria: Oh... I am in charge of these guys, aren't I?
Len: Yeah... Give 'em an order, they'll listen.

Maria paused for a second. She could remember all of the time that she hadn't been able to think clearly. Never once did she give a single order to the people she had been put in charge of, and now the very first order she would give them would be the most important she could ever issue. It was a proud feeling.

Maria: Well... I know you probably aren't used to taking orders from me... but this sad mess of a person you see before you is in need of an operation.
Medic: Yes ma'am, Commander Rallentando!
Maria: It's just Maria. No need for formalities or anything. I'm not really sure how he works, but there's something in him producing a voice and I would like it removed. His body is not in need of any repairs, so please refrain from that.

The medic nodded and walked over to Porky. He tried to pick him up and was quite surprised to find that Porky was much heavier than he had anticipated. He called over the other medics to help him lift him.

Porky: Wait... Len.
Len: Hm?
Porky: It does no good to lie to you anymore. Before you take my only method of communication from me, I should tell you that... if you're really interested in undoing the effects of time travel on you... if for some reason you truly want to undo your immortality... there is a way.
Len: I'm listening.
Porky: The thing that I sought out... the Dark Dragon... it has the power to change anything you wish. You can bind your life to it if you find it. Each of you can. It has been done once before. From that point... you can put a limit on your life. Just find it and trust me.
Len: This Dark Dragon... you put us through hell because you wanted to use Allegro to find it, and your only intention for it was to destroy the world. I don't think it's a good idea for any of us to seek it, and in fact, if I ever get any leads on how to find it, I'll track it down and kill it.
Porky: You can't do that. If you don't want my help on this matter, then go ahead and ignore me. Like I said before, your infinite life will turn you into me. It'll turn each one of you into me! You have on your tongues the taste of victory... you overcame the impossible... it's a good feeling, right? You'll want more of it. But in a world where there is nothing for you to reign victorious over... you'll want to have that feeling again, yet you won't be able to obtain it! And that... that will lead you to seek the Dragon one way or another. You'll all see!
Maria: That's enough! Take him into surgery now! Remove that noise maker from him!

The medics lifted Porky onto an operating table and began to prepare themselves for the operation. Porky didn't stop talking. Len shook his head and started his way out of the operating room. The rest followed him. The waiting room outside was spacious and comfortable, so it was a good place to take a break. Len walked over to a chair and collapsed into it. No one else needed to be invited to do the same.

Allegro: I can officially say I've had one of those days now. What a lunatic...
Heron: So that's it? We really did it... for real this time?
Falin: I think we did.
Adagio: He had a plan for each of us individually... I guess he didn't have a plan for all of us together.
Len: ... I really... want to thank all of you. I know I haven't really been the best or most decisive leader... but I had a lot of things to worry about.
Heron: Instead of thanking me, I feel like I should be apologizing to you. I saw you as an enemy for a long time. I hated you... but I didn't really understand everything I understand now. The entire time I've been alive, you've had to put up with a lot of crap... I can't imagine if my life had been as hard as these past years for you.
Len: It's fine. I know what you've had to go through, too. I'm really sorry that I had to put you through this. It probably seems kind of hypocritical of me... but you're too young to have to deal with this sort of thing.
Heron: It's exciting, at least. I could have just sat around and lived a boring life, accepting what I was born into... and right about now the world could be ending, so I feel like I've done something great.
Len: I felt like that when I was your age; the part about living a boring life. But when getting up everyday just means that you have to worry about how to keep the people you care about alive... you kind of long for the days when you were bored.

Allegro started to squirm around in his chair.

Allegro: Len... About Hauptstimme... I don't think I ever got a chance to apologize to you.

Len looked somewhat shocked.

Allegro: There's no need for you to say anything. If I could go back and stop myself, I would... and I would use force if I had to. I honestly feel like a monster now that I think about it.
Len: I haven't put much thought into it. I guess that as a means of survival... I tried to get over it as fast as I could. I knew you for a long time before that. I know that you're not that kind of person. You're a bit quick tempered, and you believe in settling things in a way that doesn't really see eye to eye with me... but you're not a bad person. Killing someone who means you no harm... it doesn't seem to be in your character.

Allegro looked down at the floor.

Len: I'm willing to believe without a doubt that you acted on a will that wasn't your own.
Allegro: It still feels awful to think that I could have been so easily used.

Allegro looked back up at Len. He was clearly fighting back tears.

Allegro: I just want you to know that I'm sorry.

Len nodded. He looked over at Heron, who had fallen asleep in his chair. Falin, who was sitting beside him, had a slightly worried look on her face.

Len: Something the matter, Falin?
Falin: Oh... I'm kind of... Confused now. I really don't have anywhere to go anymore... Thanks to Porky using Toshi against us... that plan that I had to find my parents and live with a real family now is kind of crushed. I shouldn't be confused though, I'll just go back to living alone in Sector 3. It won't be that bad...
Maria: You can stay with us, if you want.
Falin: Us?
Maria: Me and Len of course!

Another surprised look came over Len's face. He turned red and started to laugh softly.

[Forte]

Len opened his eyes. He had fallen asleep without even knowing it. As he regained his senses, he realized that it was the most peaceful rest he had gotten in a while. He looked beside him. Maria had fallen asleep resting her head against his arm. Everyone in the room with him had fallen asleep in their chairs. He had no idea how long he had been asleep now. He wondered if the doctors had finished their job. He looked at Maria again. As much as he wanted to get up and check on the situation in the operating room, he couldn't bring himself to disturb her. To his surprise, she opened her eyes and sat up on her own.

Maria: What's with that look?
Len: Oh... I was trying to not wake you up, but I guess me moving around was enough.
Maria: It's ok. I shouldn't be asleep at a time like this... but Heron kind of gave everyone the same idea.

She stood up, yawned and stretched.

Maria: I don't feel like I've done very much for you, lately. You stay here and rest.
Len: No! You've done a lot for me... even if you don't realize it.
Maria: Then let me keep doing things for you. I owe you that much.

Len stood up. Maria turned and put her hands on his shoulders. She smiled at him and forced him to sit back down.

Maria: Don't argue with me. Please, Len. Take a break.

She left the waiting room and walked into the post-op. One of the doctors from earlier was sitting in the room with Porky, who had now had his large spider-like legs removed. Nothing else had changed about him, and he looked just as battered as he had before.

Doctor: Ah. Commander Rallentando! I didn't wish to disturb any of you, so I didn't tell you when we had finished.
Maria: It isn't doing me any good to tell you not to call me that... How is he?
Doctor: We performed the requested surgery. He can't talk anymore. Good thing too, I think he was psychotic.
Maria: How do you mean?
Doctor: He wouldn't shut up about how we shouldn't do this, and how he was the king of the world and he out-ranked you.
Maria: And that didn't stop you?
Doctor: I told him that King Porky wouldn't have giant spider legs coming from his back, nor would he be a robot. The nerve of some people.

Maria laughed and walked over to the doctor.

Maria: It's a good thing you're stupid!

She smiled and looked at Porky.

Maria: Hey there! How's it going?

Porky stared at her. The look on his face could not convey his hatred for her enough. She picked up his limp arm.

Maria: You'll be a nice present for him. Oh! Doctor! Please tell your partners who worked on this that they're fired.
Doctor: W...wait, what?!
Maria: Don't worry. You're fired too! Thank you for doing a wonderful job and tell your friends that I appreciate it!
Doctor: ... Yes ma'am, commander. Thank you, ma'am.

She teleported back to the waiting room with Porky in tow.

Maria: Len, do you know how easy it is to teleport to someone who is always on your mind?
Len: You would never teach me that particular trick. I had to learn my own method. Looks like you brought a friend with you.
Maria: It is bring a friend day, right?

The look on Porky's face got angrier by the second.

Len: You're looking kind of mad, there. What's the matter? Don't like to see people happy? Don't like to hear happy thoughts? You should have said something.

The others in the room had begun to wake up now.

Len: Look, Porky! You're surrounded by friends. The gang's all here.
Allegro: *yawn* Heh. Friends? Is that we are now?
Len: Of course we are.
Allegro: If he's so charismatic that I'm his friend, he should say something to me.
Heron: They took his ability to talk, for real?
Maria: Yep. I also fired the medics that worked on him. There's no one who worked on this project now, so there's no way to go back on it.
Adagio: Smart move. I'll admit, I never really thought very much about you when you were Rallentando. You're a lot more interesting now that you talk with people.
Maria: Glad you think so. Hm?

Maria noticed that Falin was still sitting down by herself.

Maria: Falin?
Falin: Huh?
Maria: You're kind of missing out on the fun.

She walked over to Falin and whispered:

Maria: It's really messing with him and he can't do anything to us about it now. It's pretty cruel, but it feels rewarding!

Falin sighed.

Maria: Are you still bothered about not having anywhere to go?
Falin: Yeah...
Maria: You must not have thought I was serious. You can stay with Len and I for as long as you want!

Falin got up. Len and Heron started paying attention to her.

Falin: Len's fought really hard to keep you safe. He's done so much to be with you... I don't want to be a problem. You two have a lot to look forward to... I would just be in the way of you starting your lives together.
Len: It really wouldn't be that much of an issue. If you want, I can just say I owe it to you, or something.
Falin: No. No one owes me anything. I don't know what I was thinking in the first place. I did fine on my own before. I'll just go back to that. Thanks for the offer, really... I just don't want to intrude.
Heron: You're... I can't stop you. I want to... but I can't change your mind or tell you what to do.
Falin: It's been an adventure. I'm glad I was able to... well, save the world. That's not something everyone gets to say. I think I know enough about this building now to find my way out of it, so, I just won't think about this for too long. It's easier this way.

Heron couldn't find the right words to say. A thousand thoughts went through his head at once.

Heron: I don't care if I can't put this like I want to put it. Falin, you're my friend. You've helped me... given me balance... taught me a lot of things. I don't want to think that you've gone out without someone to keep you company. And I won't let you be cynical about this, either. I know it probably bothers you now that this is all over... but... just because on thing didn't go your way or turn out how you wanted it to... that doesn't mean you should give up on everything.
Falin: ... I guess that I made myself believe that when we finally beat him... I wouldn't have to worry about this anymore. That was a bad way to set myself up.

She walked over to Porky.

Falin: And you. Do you see where all of this has gotten you? You're a sad little pile of metal that can't move or talk to anyone. You think you had it bad sealed inside of that capsule? I hope that you have it infinitely worse now, being a man who can only listen and see. I hate you. I hate everything that you've done. This is what you get.

She stopped for a moment.

Falin: I understand what you're saying now, Heron. It's letting him win to deny myself some semblance of a family. Len... Maria... I accept your offer.
Len: I know that we can't really replace your parents... ever...
Falin: No... don't worry about that though.

She walked over to Heron and hugged him.

Falin: Thank you so much. I guess you'll be going back to Sector 5... I'll miss you.
Heron: I set out to fix everything. Are birds flying around? Is the sky blue? Are there trees growing? As long as you can say no to any of that, I won't be going anywhere... That is, as long as Len's willing to help.
Len: I've been wanting to undo this for as long as I can remember, now. Hauptstimme had a plan for it... it'll take a while, but we'll be able to fix it. All of us will have to put forth some effort, though.
Heron: That's a fact then. You're gonna have to put up with me for a bit longer, Falin. Hope that doesn't bother you.
Allegro: It's gonna suck when it starts raining naturally again... but you better believe I'll help out.
Adagio: Technology got us here, it can get us out. I'll gladly help.

Allegro looked at Porky with a sly grin.

Allegro: When we fix this up, I'll make sure to ditch you in a field somewhere so that you can sit and watch all the nature around you. It'll be a ton of fun for you, just wait and see.
Len: He'll love it. Now let's start planning on this. We'll get it worked out.
