LiteFox: Yeah, it was a nice surprise to bring Doom Stone out in the last chapter. And I'm quiet proud how it turned out. Trap Shadow won't do anything bad to the kitten, he'll just teas Freeze Blade about what he did when he was turned into a toddler when he gets back to being normal. Maybe I'll do more of Freeze Blades past…maybe not. Yeah, I thought that Spy Rise giving Wash Buckler a nickname he uses when he knows he's done something wrong would be funny.
Icepelt2000: Yeah, no one would like to be abandoned. He just loves his black thing.
Crim: FREEZE BLADE WON'T DIE! TRAP SHADOW ISN'T GOING TO HURT HIM OR ANYTHING! Anyway, I'm glad you don't mind if I call you Crim. If you want me to stop calling you that just let me know, okay?
Guest: Cheek back to the chapter called Enter A Portal Master.
Fangirl-Does-Write: You'll have to wait and see~
"…I can understand a few things. I can understand when people are mad. I can understand when they're angry. I can understand when they're upset. I can understand when they are tired of you, when they don't want that person around them anymore, when they simply had enough. I can understand their logic. I can understand their fury. I can also tell when they start to hate that person. I can understand why they would want that person to be out of their sight, to disappear for a slight amount of time, to not been seen. I can even in the craziest of ways that defies all logic and standers that I know of understand how idiotic things turn out to be the most unbelievable, unimaginable, most brilliant well thought plan baffles even the greatest of all minds of the year that seem to overlook that a complete and uncomprehensive maroon could ever—"
"Dude, we can tell that you're angry right now. You don't need to go and start insulting people like that."
"Angry? No no, I'm not angry. Not one bit."
"…o…kay, why do you sound—"
"I'M FURIOUS! Why In All Elements Above Am I Tied Up To A Stake And Blindfolded?! And Even More Infuriating, WHY AM I TIED UP NEXT TO YOU?!"
"There's the Spy Rise I know! I was worried there for a second."
"HOW CAN YOU SOUND SO CALM RIGHT NOW?! IN THIS SITUATION THAT YOU AND I ARE BOTH IN RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND!?"
"…First, I dream of pie."
"THAT! DOESN'T! EVEN! HELP!"
"…sssshould we stop them?" Magna Charge couldn't tear his eye away from the bickering climbers. It was scary to watch them bicker at each other, yet also very intriguing to see.
Trap Shadow sat cross-legged on the walls ledge. Baby Freeze sat on his lap, looking at the climbers with curiosity. "Mmmmm, naa! Just leave them be." Chuckles of amusement emanated from his mouth. "It's more fun to watch them bicker at each other than at us. Ain't that right kido?"
"Bo!" Freeze Blade exclaimed happily, having no clue what was going on.
"What a minute, do you have the toddler with you Trap Shadow?!" Spy Rise shouted.
"Yep."
"Why?! You're the worst choice to watch him!"
"Well apparently he seems to be the better choice other than you two." Night Shift, fully awake and glaring at the two tied up teammates, hovered over the Ultron with Grilla Drilla lumbering behind him, pulling a cart full of pies. "What kinds of idiots start bickering at each other and leave a toddler unattended to wander off?"
"Night Shift, Plllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-e-e-e-e-ease! Be reasonable—"
"It was all Spys fault."
"I loathe you."
Night Shift rolled his eyes at the two. "Can we please get started with the punishment already?"
"NO!"
"Yep!"
"I Completely Loathe You!"
"Right. Everyone ready?"
Unanimous calls of agreement sounded out as Skylanders started taking a pie off the cart. Night Shift hovered over to the two, smirking evilly with a pie in one glove. "Well, do you guys have any final words before we begin?"
"Oh! Oh! I have some!" Wash Buckler smiled as his mustache curled upwards.
"They better not be anything embarrassing Wash, this is humiliating enough as it is. Besides, no one is probably going to remember what you're going to say later on."
"Uh, you may what to think that part again, cause a few Skylanders wanted to remember this day, and Free Ranger is writing down your final words, sooo, make it good." Night Shift patted Spy Rise on the shoulder as the tech frowned.
"…I hate everyone right now."
"Alright, are those your final words?"
"NO!"
"Whatever, you still have a bit of time before we start." Night Shift hovered off, bouncing the pie in his boxing glove.
"Okay um." Wash Buckler hummed, tapping his tentacles as best he could with them tied up. "Take a step forward friends! It'll be easier that way!"
A thoughtful look crossed Spy Rises face. "…that…that was pretty good actually…you stole it didn't you?"
"Yes." Wash admitted shamefully with his head bowed.
"Are you going to try again? I still have plenty of paper left!" Free Ranger called out with a notepad and pencil in his claws.
"Ooooo! Spy! Help me out here will ya?"
"Me?!"
"Yeah you."
"After how this day has been going after YOU told Night Shift that we lost Freeze Blade that got us into this whole mess in the first place?!"
"…technically speaking, we were going to get punished anyway for Night Shifts behavior five days back and, technically, this isn't as bad as the piranha punishment that we had when we painted a cow pink."
"…I still can't see the reason behind our actions for painting that poor calf pink."
"Ready!" Night Shift took aim at the climbers as everyone got ready to throw their pies.
"NONONONONONO! Wait!"
"Please don't use the calf thing as my final words! Please, it's just embarrassing!"
Night Shift snorted, lowering the pie. "Fine. But hurry it will you?!"
"Fine, um, okay. Uh, Wash, do you have anything to say to anyone?"
"Tell my kids I died bravely!"
Awkward stares were given to the Mermasquid as Spy Rise frowned at his leader's idiocy. "…you don't have any kids."
"Your dad never had any kids!"
A series of ooo's echoed from the Skylanders. Spy Rise glared at Wash Buckler through the blindfold, towering over the squid as he shrunk back in sensing he had made a bad choice of words. "…I want you to think about that logic, Buckles. Because we are going to have a nice chat after this is over."
Wash Buckler nodded his head slowly, shrinking more under the techs glare.
"Now, would like to try again one more time?" Spy Rise asked through gritted teeth.
"…my booty itches."
"…WHY WOULD YOU—?!"
"FIRE!" Night Shift shout, flinging the pie at the two as did the rest.
Pie bombarded the two, coating them in a sticky, gooey mess of different flavors and fillings.
"…Hey Spy—!"
"I know they threw pie at us! It still doesn't help!"
Trap Shadow smirked as Spy Rise yelled at Wash Buckler. It was always amusing to watch them bicker like an old couple. His focus on them was cut off as he felt baby Blade tug on his fur, making babbling noises. "What? You hungry?"
Freeze Blade cooed, pulling the furry stuff on the purple thing harder.
"Ow! Okay, okay. Shesh." Trap Shadow jumped off the ledge, landing feet first while still having a hold on the toddler. "Listen, I'll be in the kitchen if anyone needs me, so later." He walked off, not bothering to stay and give anyone the toddler.
"Alright. Have fun…somebody follow him, I don't trust him having the toddler with him alone." Night Shift pointed a boxing glove at Trap Shadows retreating back side as he grabbed another pie off the cart.
"THEN WHY DID YOU TRUST HIM WITH THE TODDLER IN THE FIRST PLACE?!" Another pie was thrown at Spy Rise face.
"Baby food, baby food. Where did Grilla put that baby food?"
Freeze Blade watched from his perch on the counter as the purple thing kept moving around, opening fun looking objects and taking out strange weird things before putting them back. He began to suck on his thumb out of boredom and as a distraction from the empty feeling in his belly. Plus his thumb felt really good to suck on.
"Okay, can't find the food soooo, hm." Trap Shadow stood up, tapping his elbows in thought. "Ding! I know what to do!" He headed off to the doors. "Stay right there Freeze. I'll be right back."
Freeze Blade was distracted by the shiny objects in the kitchen, not noticing that the purple thing had headed out and left him. He ogled at his reflection in a butcher knife, tempted to reach out and touch the sharp edge of the item. As he was about to though, the sudden notice of silence stopped, making him look back at the kitchen and realize that the purple thing wasn't in sight. Oh no. Where was the purple thing?! He was beginning to panic when his tiny ears picked up the faint sounds of footsteps getting closer. His worry diminished. Something was coming! Maybe it was purple thing? Or maybe the black thing? The pretty thing? The hard red thing? The funny sounding yellow thing?
His questions were answered when he saw who exactly walked through the doorway, his face falling and his eyes grew big as he recognized who it was.
The other yellow thing!
Fire Kraken hummed to himself as he walked into the kitchen, not noticing Freeze Blade on the counter as he headed farther into the kitchen.
Freeze Blade however noticed him, and remembering from past experiences, he certainly didn't like this thing. He whimpered, looking around for any place to hide from the yellow thing. Finding a place to hide was not going to be easy however as there was simply no place to hide on a bare clean counter top.
"Baking a cake~ Baking a cake~ I feel like backing a cake~" Fire Kraken sang, taking out a big bowl from the cabinet and setting on the far side of the counter. He hummed as he went to grab the cookbook on how to bake a cake when he stopped, spotting baby freeze Blade as the kit went stiff seeing that he was seen. For the moment, neither one of them moved from their spot, staring at the other and wondering what they would do next. Finally, it was Fire Kraken who broke the stillness in the area. "Uh, guys? Is anyone here? Cause you left the baby here and Night Shift really doesn't want me to be with him in any way imaginable and will kinda hurt me if he finds out that I have him." Fire Kraken looked about the room, trying to find anyone other than him and his babyfied teammate in the room. When it was clear to him that he was the only one there with the kit, two things dawned on him.
1. He was alone with his babyfied friend, who had no way of taking care of himself or staying out of any possible danger by any means possible.
2. He was alone with the baby.
A grin slowly formed on his face as he realized that he had the kit under his watch and care. It grew even more when he realized that if no one was around, that meant that no one could tell the guys or Night Shift he watched the kid all by himself. And it grew wider at the thought of all the fun things he could do with the toddler.
Freeze Blade on the other hand wasn't liking the look on the bad yellow thing's face. A tiny mew left his mouth as he backed up against the wall, trying any way that was possible to get away from the yellow thing.
"If anyone is here, than say something before I grab the baby." Fire Kraken called out, tip toeing towards Freeze Blade, looking around to make sure that he was certain to be alone with the kit. "You better show up if you want him." He stood directly in front of baby Blade, slowly holding up his arms. "Last call." His hands started to grab the toddler as a scared look crossed Freeze Blades face, looking around for any way of escape. "No one? Then I get the baby!" He laughed, scooping up toddler and proceeded to hop around with the toddler up in the air spinning around and around in glee. "I get the baby~! I get the baby~!"
Poor Freeze Blade was not enjoying the ride one bit as he was spun around quickly. If his stomach hadn't been empty right that moment, it was sure to have come up by now and all over the yellow thing.
Giggling like an excited school girl, Fire Kraken continued with his earlier task. Opening a cupboard, he took out the cookbook, heading back to the bowl, and setting it on the counter. "Now, lets see. Where's the section for cake?"
As he was looking through the book, Freeze Blade was trying in vain to get out of the yellow things hold. But his strength was nowhere as close to being able to free himself.
"Ah Ha! Here it is!" Fire Kraken smiled as he found the directions and ingredients for baking the cake. "Looky Freezey! Isn't that yummy looking?" He held baby Blade up, showing him a picture of a perfectly made cake.
Freeze Blade was ready to scream at the top of his lungs, hopping it would grab anyone's attention and save him from the yellow thing. But once he saw the picture of the cake, hunger took away his scream, replacing it with a drooling sensation as he remembered how hungry he was. Oooooh he wanted that yummy looking thing baaaaaadly.
"Okay! Lets get cooking!" Fire Kraken smiled, placing the tot on the counter and went around the kitchen gathering the ingredients and measuring tools. Once he had them all in his arms –he hadn't thought of just grabbing a few items and placing them down before going back to get the other ingredients-, with careful balance he somehow managed to get everything to the counter and laid out, ready to cook. "This is gonna be great!" He grinned, taking a chiefs hat out from…where ever he found it, and plopped it on to Freeze Blades head.
Freeze Blade cooed as the hat slipped over his eyes.
In life, there were a few things that others can not do. For one, if one was to run during most of their young life and continued to do so at a steady pace, they could develop a higher speed rate than the average person. If one stays silent and focuses on listening more, their sense of hearing would be greatly increased. And if one were to develop a skill concerning the safety of close friends, they can be aware when something is off.
And right now, Wash Buckler could feel that something wasn't right. Prier to years of spending time with up to fifteen different people and developing a good sense of protection for his team, he could and would know who was in trouble and where they were. And after a few barrages of pies, he could feel that something was going down in the kitchen with Fire Kraken and the toddler.
Now he mostly wouldn't worry for a certain part with some of his group members that tended to just get into trouble at any possible time, but under different circumstances and a much different change to the group, worry was what he could feel all about his inter body as he raced down the halls to the direction of the kitchen. His sudden take off must have caught on as Spy Rise and Night Shift were close behind him, knowing full well of their leaders keen instinct of rushing off whenever he felt that one of his teammates were in trouble.
Even the few other swappers that were there when he bolted could see that he was worried, though he wasn't as worried as Spy Rise who was prone to panic when his leader didn't act his usual goof off self and went to be serious and straight. Night Shift however had his stone face on, but deep down he knew he was worried for only the kit. His speed increased when he caught sight of the door to the kitchen, though he could only go as fast before Spy Rise past him with anger written all over his face.
"TRAP SHADOW! What Did You—?!" Was all he could get out as he threw open the door before a bowl of cake batter splattered against his face. He stood frozen there as the two came up and, taking a good look around the room, their jaws dropped.
Chocolate cake batter was everywhere in the room. It was splattered on the walls, the floor, the ceiling, the cupboards, the tables, the knives, forks, spoons, bowls, cauldron, oven, sink, fireplace, rug, and the portraits.
To say in the least, it was a complete mess.
How it got in such a state allover was the question, who had done it was an easier answer. Coming out from behind a fallen over table, Fire Kraken clutching a chiefs hat on his head gazed around, giving a sheepish smile when his eyes landed on the three. "Uh, heh heh, mixing machine broke."
Night Shift was the first to get over his shock. "What. In the elements. Happened here?"
Guilt over came Fire Krakens face. "I was only trying to bake a cake! Everything was going okay, for the most part, b-but then Freezey started to pull with the mixer a-a-a-a-and it went wild when I tried to get him to stop! And then it started going out of control and went everywhere and…well it got splattered on Spyieds face now." He started to sniffle, beginning to shed a few tears.
Wash Buckler, getting the picture, carefully went over the fire master. "Easy Krak, it's okay now. No need to cry."
"But-but I made a m-m-me-me-e-e-essssssssssssssssss!"
"Yeah, not intently." He smiled, reaching out and patted the dragon on the shoulder. "You're not in trouble."
A few sniffles and tears escaped. "I'm…I'm not?" Fire Kraken asked, putting on the most biggest and tearful puppy dog eyes that he could.
"No. You're not."
"But you will be if I can't find the kit."
Their heads swiveled over to Night Shift as he looked about the room, lifting up items that could potentially be a hiding spot for the kit.
"That's easy!" Fire Kraken, springing back to his happy ego, smiled. "He's under the hat. I kept him there for safe keeping." He lifted the hat up, allowing Freeze Blade to poke his head out and coo.
Seeing the kit, Night Shift quickly teleported over, snatching the kit off Fire Krakens head, giving the dragon a quick bop to the head, and looked the toddler over. His mouth formed a thin line. "Fire Kraken? Why is Freeze Blade covered in flower?"
Freeze Blade was indeed covered in flower. From the tips of his ears, to his one beep blue one piece cloths, the kit was covered in powdery white grained dust, turning him into a cute fully white kitten.
"Eh, heh heh. Weeeeeellllllllll, he may or may not have been playing around in the flower bag when I didn't keep an eye on him." Fire Kraken chuckled uneasy as Night Shifts glare was on him.
"Dude! He's a mess!" Wash Buckler laughed.
"Not as messy as you are Wash!"
It was true. From head to tentacles, Wash Buckler was covered in pie goop that was sticky and pieces were stuck to him. Even his hat had a fair amount of pie innards clung to it.
"Yeah? Well you're a mess too dude."
Fire Kraken giggled, crossing his cake batter covered arms and smiled.
Night Shift however was not finding any of this amusing. Not in the slightest. "Fire Kraken, how did you get a hold of Freeze Blade? Did you steal him out from Trap Shadows grasp?"
The giggling stopped as Fire Kraken frowned sadly as he was accused of snatching the tot. "No! I just found him here all alone! I promise! Trap Shadow wasn't anywhere! Pinky swear!" He held out his pinky.
"You know he's not lying when he sticks out his pinky." Wash Buckler pointed out as he lock his own pinky around Fire Krakens.
"But where is—?"
"I keep telling you that I couldn't find i—Whoooooooa! What happened here?"
Heads turned to the doorway where Trap Shadow, Grilla Drilla, and a still frozen in place Spy Rise were.
"…man I should leave the kit behind more often!" Trap Shadow joked before he was clock out by a boxing glove.
