Why We need Compassion...

I go flying and riccochet of the padded wall once again and wind up looking up at the celing.
"All RIGHT that's IT no more to day Rah's! I've had it."
I roll up onto my feet and look at the man that could be quigon jinn's double. Just one thing, theres not an ounce of the peace and compassion in this mans eyes that quigon has.
"What do you mean thats..." He seems stunned that some one would tell him no.

"Just what i said," I grab a towl and a my water. "find another punching bag bub. I have to go practice my shooting."

That gets me a glare and i go to change into some civis.
Ive been a martial artist for years, and this guy is good. I dont want to over estimate my self here, but if it werent for the fact that my joints are hurting a lot lately for some reason, I could take him.
Still I decide not to egg him on and head over to the shooting range when im finally finished changing.
Most every one who could be out there was out there. There were people with bows and arrows, people with cross bows. And Tons and tons of guns.
Orion was poised with his ion rifle and megs was standing behind Meleficent showing her how to aim on a weapon that wasnt him. I pulled out my own gun and was chekcing it when Guess who shwoed up to bother me somemore.
"you know its not good to walk out on your teacher."
"I didnt ask you to be my teacher y ou bitter jerk. I ASKED if you wanted to spar."
"Of course im your teacher, Whatelse could i be to a child like you? Oh and by the way your doing that wrong." He motioned to my preps to shoot.
"Well you could condisder me equal, I have as much if not more training than some of your lackies. I've kicked bruce's aft at least once and he was your PRIZE student right?"
He didnt seem to happy about that comment and continued to glare at me. "Your still doing that wrong."
"Really?"
I squeesed off my first shot and procceded to take the target out perfectly.
"Im not doing it wrong Mr' AlGhoul, Im just not doing it YOUR way."
"You think you knwo as much as some one like me? Girl, your compassion is going to get you killed."
I stopped in midshot and looked at him.
"Dont say that."
"Its a weeknes and you know it."
I noticed orion standing behind him starting to fume. I looked at him and shook my head, meaning Let ME handle this one.
"Look, I know your old enough to make me, and Michell, and Bruce look like children. I Know you date back to the begining of our civilization and that you have seen so much of humanity and its foblies that you think that anything with sentiance is only bad. That Order has to come at a price, in lives.That like you said, compassion will get you killed."
He opned his mouth to say something, i held up muy hand for him to stop.
"And the truth is, with the people, No the MONSTERS we are going off to fight, your right. We cannot show them compassion. Palpatine, and Unicron, and Voldmort, they have no clue what that is and showing it to them, WILL get us killed.
"But with normal every day people, be they human, or something else, you have to have that compassion. Or you loose your own. You've met and know people that are the poseter children for the redemptive power of love and compassion. Vader, Megatron, Meleficent, all fo them have changed because someone was willing to show them compassion. And if you STILL Think im wrong, that this is a show of weakness and not strength, Then take a look at the man behind you. Hes old enough to make even YOU look like a baby. Hes seen things that would make you go INSANE with grief. He has never lost sight of the need for compassion, the power of love. EVER."
"You and him hold it so dear," He blinked at me, "I dont understand it, what dose a child like you know that i dont?"
"Its simple," Orion told him from behind him, "If we loose our higher ideals Mr. AlGhoul, then we become no better than the things we fight."
Orion put his arms around me and looked deeply into the mans eyes.
"Your here to help us, and we are greatful. But dont cross the line Rah's because we cant become our enemy. IF we do. They win."

We have a long hard road a head of us every one. Stay strong and dont loose sight of what we are fighting For.
Rose.
