I only own my OC, Taylor, I do not own Tess, Mz. Ruby, or any of the ParaNorman characters, or the music that I wish for you to play during the first battle.
The group looks at the woods, then Perry asked, "So, why are we here?" Hopkins mumbles, and points at a direction.
Norman soon replied, "Someone has got to talk to her, Dad."
"Not to mention, Mz. Ruby is waiting for us
"Yeah. Why is that person you, exactly?" Perry asked.
Taylor looked at Hopkins, put on her goggles, set them to Median Vision, and Hopkins said, "I wish you and the boy luck, Taylor, with both Agatha, and Mz. Ruby."
"Thanks, Your Honor," Taylor replied, and went off to join Norman and his family.
As the group continue into the woods, they heard a rumbling, causing Norman to gasp, as the trees moved, and Sandra said, "Oh, my goodness. Look out!"
Norman looked, and called, "Mom!"
Courtney screams, then Sandra said, "Perry! Do something!"
"I am trying!" Perry replied being stuck on some branches.
"Kick it in the knothole!" Sandra demanded. Norman soon fell back due to the trees. "Norman?" Sandra asked.
Norman got up, and said, "I'm okay, Mom! Along with Taylor and Tess," he looks at his mother, and said, "Just wait for us here. Don't worry."
"Be careful!" Sandra replied.
Norman, Taylor and Tess were soon separated from Norman's family. Taylor soon said, "I think Agatha and Mz. Ruby wants us to face them with just you and me Norman," she looked at Tess, and said, "Tess, I want you to stay with Norman's family. Can you do that?"
Tess saluted, and said, "You got it, Taylor," Tess then went through some openings, to meet up with Norman's family, while Taylor and Norman begin to move towards Agatha and Mz. Ruby's location.
As they walked in the woods, the trees moved again, this time moving it to look like a straight arena of some sort and saw Mz. Ruby, who surprised Norman, since she was an anthropomorphic alligator. Soon Music began to play.
[Play Sly 1 - A Deadly Dance (Remaster/Remix by VGA Guy)]
Mz. Ruby was dancing, and said, "Hmm, I could feel that Fearbrave vibe coming. Most distastefully bad juju."
"Yeah well, you give me a bit of the creeps too, Mz. Ruby, helping an enraged witch who woke up with her vendetta isn't a very neighborly past time, but I'm not here to fight, I wish for a dance off."
"Oh, a dance off, you think you can beat me. Well, I accept your challenge, and I am feeling generous on giving you a shield to protect you," Mz. Ruby said.
"That is very generous, well anyway, if I make it toward, I will tag, you, as in tapping you on the back. Tag you four times, I win, and my prize is that you'll tell me the location of the safe where the documents is, and who to go after next, however I will give you a consolation prize after the game's over, either win, we both win," Taylor said.
Mz. Ruby soon thought of it, then said, "We have a deal. Anyway, Agatha will help me on the first part, by using the trees to try to squish you. If you follow the rhythm, you'll dodge the trees fine, if not then you'll break your sheild a bit. After four hits from the shield, it will disappear, and then one more hit, then see you in the next world, Taylor Fearbrave."
When the music begins to change, on the beat (A/N sort of like the teeth going down), the trees moved around, spaced out, and went down like hammers with a boom. Taylor quickly memorizes the beat and begins dancing towards Mz. Ruby. As the trees went down, Taylor jumps out of the way. She eventually she reaches Mz. Ruby, who turns and slams down, causing a shockwave, but Taylor dances a bit while jumping out of the way of the shockwaves, and soon tags Mz. Ruby. She soon teleported on the other side of the arena, and the trees stopped.
"Come back here," Norman said, paused then said, "You can't run away forever."
"Quite true, Norman. Quite true," Mz. Ruby replied, paused, then said, "How about your friend, Taylor dancingly comes over here."
"Okay, Mz. Ruby," Taylor said, but paused, and asked, "Hang on, what's the catch?"
Mz. Ruby replied, "Oh, not much, just a little game I'd like to play with all my annoying guests back in my old lair. I want to see well you pay attention, Taylor."
"What do you mean?" Norman asked.
"Well, I'll unleash my mighty mojo magic upon her, Norman," Mz. Ruby replied, paused, then said, "Taylor if you follow the arrows, you'll dodge it just fine, if not, then well the shield, if you used it, is now back to four hits, so if you miss, it will pass you, the shield will disappear after four hits, after that, you'll get zapped!" Mz. Ruby cackles after the explanation.
"A different version of a little Voodoo Simon Says, huh?" Taylor paused, thought then said, "Okay, sounds easy enough."
Taylor walks forward and begins dancing to the music. Mz. Ruby three times while moving left and making some arrows that pointed right appeared by rhythm.
Mz. Ruby:
DIG! DIG! DIG!
Taylor leaned right by the rhythm, while saying the same thing that Mz. Ruby said.
Taylor:
DIG! DIG! DIG!
Mz. Ruby soon said while jumping up and making some arrows that pointed down appeared by rhythm.
Mz. Ruby:
VOO! VOO! VOO!
Taylor soon ducked down by the rhythm, while saying the same thing that Mz. Ruby said.
Taylor:
VOO! VOO! VOO!
Mz. Ruby then said a while moving right and making some arrows that pointed left appeared by rhythm.
Mz. Ruby:
THAT! THAT! THAT!
Taylor soon leaned left by the rhythm, while saying the same thing that Mz. Ruby said.
Taylor:
THAT! THAT! THAT!
Taylor soon knew some of the moves, and Mz. Ruby begins the ones she used so far, and Taylor follows them in rhythm.
Mz. Ruby:
DIG! THAT! DIG!
Taylor:
DIG! THAT! DIG!
Mz. Ruby:
THAT! DIG! THAT!
Taylor:
THAT! DIG! THAT!
Mz. Ruby:
DIG! VOO! THAT!
Taylor:
DIG! VOO! THAT!
Mz. Ruby:
THAT! VOO! DIG!
Taylor:

Mz. Ruby:
DIG!
Taylor:
DIG!
Mz. Ruby:
VOO!
Taylor:
VOO!
Mz. Ruby:
THAT!
Taylor:
THAT!
This time Mz. Ruby said putting her hands down near her belly, and an arrow that pointed up appeared by rhythm.
Mz. Ruby:
DOO!
Taylor soon jumped up by rhythm, while saying the same thing Mz. Ruby said.
Taylor:
DOO!
Taylor soon danced while jumping to avoid the shockwaves of Mz. Ruby's tail, and then tagged the alligator, who teleported again to the other side of the arena. Taylor soon began dancing to the music towards Mz. Ruby while the voodoo priestess uses more mojo at Taylor.
Mz. Ruby:
DIG! VOO! THAT! DOO!
Taylor:
DIG! VOO! THAT! DOO!
Mz. Ruby:
THAT! VOO! DIG! DOO!
Taylor:
THAT! VOO! DIG! DOO!
Mz. Ruby:
DIG! DIG! VOO! VOO! THAT! THAT! DOO! DOO!
Taylor:
DIG! DIG! VOO! VOO! THAT! THAT! DOO! DOO!
Mz. Ruby:
THAT! THAT! VOO! VOO! DIG! DIG! DOO! DOO!
Taylor:
THAT! THAT! VOO! VOO! DIG! DIG! DOO! DOO!
Mz. Ruby:
DIG! THAT! DIG!
Taylor:
DIG! THAT! DIG!
Mz. Ruby:
VOO! DOO! VOO!
Taylor:
VOO! DOO! VOO!
Mz. Ruby:
THAT! DIG! THAT!
Taylor:
THAT! DIG! THAT!
Mz. Ruby:
DOO! VOO! DOO!
Taylor:
DOO! VOO! DOO!
Mz. Ruby:
DIG! THAT! DIG!
Taylor:
DIG! THAT! DIG!
Mz. Ruby:
VOO! DOO! VOO!
Taylor:
VOO! DOO! VOO!
Mz. Ruby:
THAT! DIG! THAT!
Taylor:
THAT! DIG! THAT!
Mz. Ruby:
DOO! VOO! DOO!
Taylor:
DOO! VOO! DOO!
Taylor soon dances again, while avoiding the shockwaves of Mz. Ruby's tail and eventually tagged Mz. Ruby. The alligator teleported to the other side again, Taylor soon dances her way towards Mz. Ruby by the music getting ready for the mojo to come.
Mz. Ruby:
DIG! THAT! DIG!
Taylor:
DIG! THAT! DIG!
Mz. Ruby:
THAT! DIG! THAT!
Taylor:
THAT! DIG! THAT!
Mz. Ruby:
DIG! THAT! DIG! THAT! DIG! THAT! VOO!
Taylor:
DIG! THAT! DIG! THAT! DIG! THAT! VOO!
Mz. Ruby:
THAT! DIG! THAT DIG! THAT! DIG! VOO!
Taylor:
THAT! DIG! THAT! DIG! THAT! DIG! VOO!
Mz. Ruby:
DIG! VOO! THAT!
Taylor:
DIG! VOO! THAT!
Mz. Ruby:
THAT! VOO! DIG!
Taylor:
THAT! VOO! DIG!
Mz. Ruby:
DIG! VOO! THAT!
Taylor:

Mz. Ruby:

Mz. Ruby:

Mz. Ruby:
VOO! VOO! VOO!
Taylor:
VOO! VOO! VOO!
Mz. Ruby:
DIG! THAT! VOO! DOO!
Taylor:
DIG! THAT! VOO! DOO!
Taylor soon dances, while still avoiding the shockwaves, and then tagged Mz. Ruby for the final time.
[Pause Music]
Taylor soon said, "Tag, you lose, Mz. Ruby."
Norman soon said, "Great job, Taylor! You did it!"
Mz. Ruby soon looked at her, and said, "I can't believe it, you win the challenge. But still, what is my consolation prize?"
Taylor soon replied, "That is simple, something you should've had a long time ago, as in when you were a kid."
Taylor extended her hand, Mz. Ruby soon was confused, and asked, "What is going on?"
"I am extending to you the hand of friendship," Taylor replied.
This shocked both Norman and Mz. Ruby, then she asked, "Why do you want to do that?"
Taylor soon replied, "Well, Bentley showed me your file, and know the kids were scared of you, and I hated that when they see you, they say, 'Oh, no, run is the scary voodoo girl,' I couldn't believe they judged you before they even knew you, and it caused you to go to crime to punish the world for fearing you. On the outside I might see you as a very scary voodoo priestess, but I can see on the inside, there's a little girl who is really in need of a friend, am I right?"
Mz. Ruby soon began to well up in tears, and cried, and they weren't crocodile, or in this case alligator tears, and said, "You're right, they judged me despite that all my life I really wanted a living friend, and those friends I summoned, they had a habit of losing their heads," Mz. Ruby soon cried even more.
Taylor placed a hand on the weeping alligator's shoulder, and said, "It's okay, Mz. Ruby, it's okay. I am going to be your first living friend." Mz. Ruby soon looked at her, turned, and hugged her. Norman soon hugged them too. Taylor soon said, "Make that your first living female friend." Norman, Mz. Ruby, and Taylor laughed after that joke. Taylor then said, "Okay, now that I win, Mz. Ruby, where is the safe, and who should I go after next?"
"Oh, right, the safe is at Norman's house, moved it there during the play, and left before you came back leaving no evidence, with the exception of Norman's grandmother seeing me," Norman was shocked, then Mz. Ruby said, "I'm a voodoo priestess, what do you expect, anyway, she did promise not to tell I was there. Now to who to go after next, if you guys beat Agatha? Well, let me get into position to make it look good of my defeat."
[Resume Music]
Mz. Ruby soon lied down and said to Taylor, "You've certainly got some rhythm, human, but it won't help you none after Agatha, if you beat her, if you're fixing on going after that sexist pseudo-necromancer, General Tsao, and his royal deity, The Moon King. They're both tough, with capital Ts. If you poke around their territory in a land during Feudal Japan, you're likely to get poked back."
"Yeah, well, if the second one's like anything like the last four members of the Nightmare Eight I defeated, I think I'll manage," Taylor said.
[Music Ends after Dialogue]
"Well after that, that was fun," Norman said.
"You got that right, Norman, but we still got Agatha left," Taylor said.
The trees soon moved, and Mz. Ruby soon said, "Well, she must know I failed, well I wish you luck my new friends."
"Thanks, Mz. Ruby. We're going to need it," Taylor said, as she and Norman went off to face Agatha Prenderghast.
Well, I am splitting the scene from the movie since Mz. Ruby's battle was time consuming, but now Mz. Ruby got Taylor's surprise, which as offering the alligator friendship, which was neglected from her at childhood. Now Taylor and Norman are going after Agatha, and stop the curse for good, will the manage to do it?
