Hello there! I'm SO HAPPY with how this fanfiction is doing so far! I've gotten a couple positive reviews, several favorites and a fair amount of views! Since people are already taking interest in this story so soon after it's been published, I decided I would post the second chapter sooner rather than later! Are you ready? Hope you enjoy!


Chapter 2

"The Doc is Out"

The next morning, Hawkodile was in his treehouse, punching away at a large punching bag hanging from the ceiling. There was nothing like a refreshing workout after an energizing breakfast to prepare him for the day.

Often his bodyguard work was fairly minimal since the only guy threatening the castle every now and then was usually Master Frown, or maybe a rampaging monster on "special" occasions. No one in Unikingdom had intentions of targeting an attack on Unikitty or her friends, but Hawkodile believed he could never be too prepared.

He could hear the distant bustles of citizens in Unikingdom and the chirping of birds with each punch he threw at his punching bag. The warm sun beamed down from one small, circular window, giving light to the treehouse.

Hawkodile's full attention and focus was on his training. Needless to say, he was certainly caught off guard when a sobbing cry of distress arose from down below, right outside.

"Whoa, what was that?!" asked Hawkodile to himself in alarm, stopping his arm right before it smacked into the punching bag. "Hm, maybe there's something or someone who needs a knuckle sandwich for breakfast."

Before he could rush over and leap down from his treehouse to investigate, Unikitty popped up at the doorway; entirely covered in shades of blue with a stream of tears rushing down her face. Right behind her, Puppycorn was also swelling with tears, almost like a ticking bomb about explode sadness everywhere at any moment. Something was very wrong; usually, the two royal siblings were leaping around with glee.

"HAWKODILE!" cried out Unikitty and Puppycorn simultaneously.

"Are you guys okay?!" asked Hawkodile with great concern, rushing over to them. "Did someone die?!"

"No H.D, but it's terrible!" sobbed Unikitty, falling dramatically at his feet. "Dr. Fox is gone!"

"WHAT?!" exclaimed Hawkodile in alarm with a squawk, smacking both of his hands on each side of his head in disbelief. "She said she'd be back by sundown yesterday!"

"We looked everywhere, but we couldn't find her!" cried Puppycorn, tears rolling down his face. "The kitchen, the lab, the trashcans, behind the picture frames, the bathroom, the garden, and in some random stranger's houses!"

"Isn't trespassing on private property kinda illegal or something?" asked Hawkodile, raising an eyebrow. "I think you need, what was it, a warrant?"

"Yeah, I tried looking for a war ant, but I guess they're not too angry at each other right now," shrugged Puppycorn, briefly carefree and happy once again. "Which is great! I don't like seeing ants fight, it doesn't fix anything."

"What? No Puppycorn, it's not- never mind, forget it," facepalmed Hawkodile with a groan. "We've gotta find Dr. Fox!"

"What if she's still in Action Forest?" suggested Unikitty. "Maybe she's in danger!"

"Good idea, that's where she said she was going," agreed Hawkodile. "We've gotta leave as soon as possible!"

"Well then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" exclaimed Unikitty.

"Hold on guys," interrupted Hawkodile, stopping Unikitty before she flew out. "Look, I don't wanna sound rude here but, you two aren't exactly good at... defending yourselves."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" asked Puppycorn, a bit offended yet baffled. "We're strong like you are, Hawk!"

Puppycorn attempted to imitate some bizarre fighting moves he saw on TV to prove his point. Unfortunately, the attempt was pathetic, and he tripped on a floorboard and fell. Seeing this wasn't very reassuring for Hawkodile.

"I guess Unikitty will probably be fine, but," said Hawkodile, recalling to Unikitty's previous fits of powerful and aggressive rage. "I don't know if it's safe for ya, champ."

"Hawkodile's got a point lil' bro," admitted Unikitty somewhat sadly, as Puppycorn got up again. "Remember when we tried to help Hawkodile take down Eagleator? We got Hawkodile's shades back, but he got away! I wouldn't want you to get hurt!"

"Yeah, I guess you're right," sighed Puppycorn in defeat. "But I really wanna go! Dr. Fox is my friend too! Can't I just follow you guys? I promise I won't slow you down!"

Hawkodile and Unikitty glanced at each other, deciding on whether bring him along. Hawkodile just shrugged, not having another objection.

"Um, alright fine, I guess," answered Hawkodile, still sounding unsure.

"HOORAY!" cried Puppycorn in glee, excited to go on an adventure with his friends. "Luckily, I still remember all the training Hawkodile gave me!"

"Uh, that training was wrong, remember?" reminded Unikitty. "He accidentally taught us to do stunts, not actually fight."

"Oh right," remembered Puppycorn. "Those were pretty fun though!"

"Yeah, they were!" agreed Unikitty.

"Alright you two, let's grab our fists and go," said Hawkodile in a serious tone. "We've gotta be ready to engage in a super rad fighting match."

"Or give a hug," added Unikitty cheerfully. "There's a time for punches and there's also a time for hugs!"

"Yeah sure, that too I guess," shrugged Hawkodile. "Anyway, LET'S GO!"
