“What? What did you do to her?!?“
“We’re just feckin’ batteries to that frickin’ sod. Gah, so I just pulled out some of her power.. AGAIN, but, agh...“
“H-hey! What ‘bout you, you took a right blast from that co-“
“WHY ARE YOU NOT RUNNING YET?“
“Bu-”
“BEAT IT, ZAP! GET THE FECK OUT OF HERE!“
((Insect reverted back to plate form.))

"But I thought I was just going to kiss the plate while you were still regenerating! Ohh geez..."
"Rubble! Just kiss 'em!"
“Flappy flaps! Back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and-”
“Knock that off! I’m not your hecking play thin- oh, hang on. I am aren’t I. All she thinks we’re good for, huh. feckin.“
*Wheeze* “STINKING KID, NEEDS A STOMPING!”
“I fear the poor child’s mother would prefer their boy would not be trodded upon. For what crime do they deserve such punishment!“
“THEY DREW A BLASTED ARSE ON MY PLATE!“
“Ah, I see now. Hmhm.“
“SHUT UP! IT’S NOT FUNNY!“
“It is rather humorous.”
“Mom?“
“Yes, child“
“Uhm, if you created the others to be our friends, why did you make some of them, uh.. bad and aggressive like Insect?“
“Well.. they’re not ‘bad’ per say Time. None of them are inherently evil or aggressive, they just have different trails of thought that drive their motives.“
“Why though?“
“Because that’s what it like out there. You are not going to get along with everyone you meet, some you may like, some you may not and some you are going to have to work hard to get through to.
I didn’t want to give you a collection of friends that would cater to your every whim. I wanted them to teach you, challenge you, as much as watch over you.“
“You wanted us to.. not get along with some of them?
“Life does not exist without conflict, and through conflict and resolution, we learn and grow wiser.”
“I could simply reabsorb you right here and now, but... the Universe is awake again, and I still have the rest of them to find. It wouldn’t be kind to leave them alone while I track them down, would it?“
“You want me to go back to babysitting these brats?!“
“Just like old times, isn’t it? You may be rusty, but you should provide them with some amusement.“
“Ya’ feckin’, what if I decide to run off again? Wouldn’t ya-“
“I’m giving you a compromise, Insect. I suggest you take it.“
“Feh! So you’re saying I can either die NOW or die LATER. Wow so many options.“
“Either option is acceptable to me. You should be so lucky, others didn’t get the privilege to make such a choice.“
“Loada sunshine aren’t ya?“
“Choose, Insect.”
“OH, UNDERSTANDABLE. no gall, so you just snuffed me out and got it over with already!? Yea nah, I get it.“
“N-No, Insect. Your main body still exists physically just sleeping, I thought bringing you here... may...“
“I GET IT NOW, YOU’RE GONNA TRY AND GUILT ME INTO COMING BACK WITH THE UNIVERSE! Oh yea, take the high ground why not.“
“Can you please lower your voice, you are scaring poor Time.“
“Can I ride Bugby, Mom? Pleasepleaseplease?“
“Space, not now.“
