"Okies..." Violet said again, slowly walking back to the table. She quietly sat down and stared at the table.

It wasn't long before Simoon came back, holding a small berry that she held out to the girl. "Here, sweety. Eat ths. It'll settle you tummy down lickity-split."

For some reason, though, Violet merely turned up her nose and scowled. "It looks icky..." She said.

"It's actually sweet," the dragon answered. "Do you like blueberries?"

"No..." Violet said. "I don't like berries at all."

"Would you try this one for me, please?" Simoon asked, backing it with a draconic charm that the child would never know was being used, but would make her more willing. "It'll settle your tummy just as soon as it's down."

"I still think it's icky." The girl said sourly as she took the berry. Nonetheless, she downed it without further complaint.

The berry was, as promised, sweet to the taste and juicy. It would immediately go to work on settling even the worst upset stomach, and even if the cause was external, the child's tummy ache would still vanish.

The little girl was quiet after eating the berry, but soon broke into a giggling fit. "It worked..." She said through chuckles. "It really worked really well!"

That made Simoon smile. "I'm glad you're feeling better, sweetie."

The little girl kept giggling. "Y-you should... turn on a T.V. right now..." She said suddenly.

Nip looked over at the little girl, then over at a television before reaching over and flipping it on.

Violet continued tittering as she looked away back at her food.
The channel of the television was irrelevant, it showed the same footage. Buildings were in flames, and the sound of several weapons being fired drowned out the sounds of almost anything else. The smoke from the flames practically coated the sky, giving it an ugly, burgandy colour when combined with the glow of the flames. The familiar looking palace could be seen. However, the only reason for that was due to an almost blinding green glow pulsing and caressing over it.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Karen suddenly asked, leaning over and facing the camera, grinning. The environment actually did a decent job of making the immaturely smiling woman seem intimidating. "How rude of me, I've forgotten my manners. My name is Karen Jameson, and I am your new ruler. This is my message to you, Africa, Asia, Australia and the Americas. You cannot compete with my millitary. You're free to try, but I can assure you the consequences will not be remotely pretty. To show an example, I've taken the liberty of conquering Europe by force." The scientist gestured back at Buckingham Palace. "As you can see, it'll be far more to your benefit if you just surrender. I have abilities at my disposal that you could only witness in your nightmares. Why don't you ask your British friends here, hmm? Oh, wait a minute..."
Suddenly, the green light intensified, and within the next few seconds, Buckingham Palace was literally crushed by unseen forces until it was no taller than the rubble around it. "That's right, I guess you can't ask them!" The girl had said, all the while cackling sadistically. And with that, the broadcast ended.

The dragons watched the screen for a moment before the redhead raised his hand to his head. "Rangers."
We saw it, the humans answered over the telepathic link. We're on our way.
"Be careful," Simoon warned.

"No more tickling, mommy..." Violet murmured and whimpered. At some point, the girl had slumped over a fell asleep. She kept snoring and whimpering peacefully and quietly. By all respects, she looked quite comfortable, despite her head being in her lunch.
*Meanwhile*
The smoke was still thick in the air around the smoldering remains of London. After taking a brief moment to pat eachother on the back, the soldier of Karen's army set out to pitch up temporary camp. One watching from afar would be amazed at the soldier's efficiency. Each one worked in tandem, bringing up dark red tents all throughout the city. The soldiers would allow the fires to die down on their own, only extinguishing the flames when they got to close to their work. Debris from several potent psionic attacks floated in the air, and soldier that were on break would occasionally use this debris for the sake of entertainment, knocking pieces of rock back and forth. At a quick, steady pace, a large tent city rose up from the funeral pyres of Britain's capital, quietly awaiting more permenant bases.
