The Lone Moon: First Quarter

Whose to Blame?

Toby: This was all my fault..." sniff." I should've never let her leave...

Saluke: Ohhhhhhh! So you were saying this was all your fault?!? HAHAHA! Well your DAMN RIGHT IT IS!

Toby: What-do-you mean by that?!?!

Saluke: Ha, I'm just speaking the truth! Thanks to YOU, you and your sister winded-up here!!! If it wasn't for your ignorance, YOU WOULDN'T BE endangering the lives of MANY PEOPLE!!! THANKS EVER SOOO MUCH TOBY!!!!

Having had it, Toby punched Saluke right in his face. Saluke fell and noticed that his nose was bleeding, gushing red everywhere upon his face.

Saluke: Oh... haha...So you wanna play it that way?

Saluke started taunting Toby. He decided to lay a few punches, but missed Saluke entirely. After that, Saluke immediately kicked Toby in the stomach and sent him down on the ground. He just kept kicking and kicking him, non-stop. And it seemed like Toby wasn't moving at all.

Alphonse: STOP IT!

Both brothers ignored Alphones and continued to fight one another. Fist to fist. Face to face. And chest to chest. Each hit, damaging the other. And once Saluke finally got a hold on Toby, getting him right where he wanted, he was ready to beat the sh*t out of him, completely. Just as he was about to knock him out, Alphonse got in between the two.

Alphonse: ENOUGH! STOP IT! BOTH OF YOU! Fighting will only make things worse than it already is. Both of you can kill yourselves tomorrow, but as of now please set aside your differences...

Toby: Fo-r Am-y...

Saluke: YOU'LL REGRET THIS! Let's go Al!

Alphonse: I'm sorry...

As they left, the injured Toby, using all the enegry he has left in him, carries Amy back to her bed. Later on, he falls down on his sleeping bag, drained. All he ever wanted was to keep her safe. It looked like sleep was the only thing he needed at that moment.

"Tomorrow will be a long day indeed," he said to himself as he drifted off into a deep slumber.
