Teddy opened his eyes and saw someone smashing a camera in the darkness.
He quickly rubbed his eyes to get a better look at the person. They seem lanky and more full on the top of their head. They were also wearing a dark hoodie so it was kind of hard to tell their true form.
He only knew that the person was a human.
The intruder had more than likely sensed the teen's eyes on him and turned around immediately. The two made eye contact, causing Teddy to hold in a breath.
"It's okay." the human whispered, giving off an adult male's voice. "I'm here to help."
The bear slowly nodded, taking a glance into Chi's crib before turning to the man.
"I'm gonna do something else really quick, alright?"
He nodded once again as the man approached the chicken's crib. He took out a bottle of purple liquid and slowly placed two drops on Chi's forehead. Once he was done, he put it away and moved back to where the camera was. He slipped the SD card out of the device and placed it in his pocket.
Teddy watched all this with a mixture of shock and confusion on his face. How did this man know about the situation? How exactly did he get in here without getting spotted? Who was he anyway? A lot of different questions centered around this stranger formed into his mind.
However, they were cut short when Chi started to groan in her sleep.
She rose from her mattress and rubbed her head. She surveyed the room through sleepy eyes and blinked when she saw Teddy.
"Theo!" she whispered, surprise evident on her face. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"I'm working for your sister…" he then hugged her. "But that doesn't matter right now! You're back to normal!" he turned to the mysterious human. "How did you do that?"
The chicken turned as the man removed his hood to reveal himself as Mike. Chi's eyes lit up. "Mike! You're alright!"
The brunette smiled as Teddy blinked.
"So you're the last guy that was missing! Francine thought you were dead or something!"
"I kind of thought so too…" Chi admitted. "But-"
Mike stopped her as he suddenly heard footsteps. He grabbed the chicken and said. "Now's not a good time." he turned to the polar bear. "I'm taking Chi. Stall for her as best as you can, alright?"
Theo nodded as they disappeared. He quickly went back to sleep as Chica entered the bedroom.
She looked around and immediately spotted the broken camera on the floor. Her eyes quickly turned to the polar bear as he slept. Without hesitation, she marched over to him and ripped the covers off.
Teddy flinched only slightly and he slowly opened his eyes to see an angered Chica.
"Hi Chica…" he yawned before stretching. "What's happening?"
"You." she said sternly. "Yer breakin' cameras."
He blinked. "What!? I-I didn't-"
"Yer the only one in this room! It has to be you!" she squawked loudly before turning over to the crib. She headed over to it and sighed. "Ah'm so sorry fer bein' loud Chi Chi. Sissy doesn't mean it…"
No response.
Chica blinked. "Sissy…?"
Teddy bit his lip as she pulled up Chi's covers only to find that she wasn't in the bed. Her eyes widened as she screamed to the heavens.
"CHI CHI!"
"Whew! I feel so happy to be in my old clothes again!"
Chi was looking in the mirror, smiling as she twirled. She was out of all of the baby stuff and was back to her old bib and panties. She turned to Mike and Shaffy, who were in the room with her.
"Thanks for getting me out of there guys!"
"It's no trouble…" Shaffy's smile disappeared. "but now is not the time to be celebrating."
The Shadow snapped his fingers, causing a large screen to replace the wall in front of them. There they could see Chica flipping out on Teddy.
"Where's mah lil sissy!?" she squawked, grabbing him by some of his chest fur and shaking him. "WHERE IS SHE?!"
"I don't know Chica!" Theo replied with a shrug. "She was in her crib last time I saw her and now she's gone."
Ballora and Francine then rushed into the room. As the door opened, they could hear the babies' cries echoing through the hallway. The dancer was already carrying a sobbing Baby, who held onto her 'mother' as she wept.
"What's going on?" the vixen asked.
"Chi's missing!" Chica sobbed before shaking the bear, her teeth clenched. "And Teddy won't tell me where she went!"
"I told you that I don't know!" the bear replied.
The chicken glared at him. "You have one more chance ta tell me where mah sister is before Ah get angry! Now…" she shook the teen again. "WHERE. IS. MAH. SISSY?!"
"I don't know!"
"That's it!" she squawked. "I've had it up to mah head with yer foolery Theo!" she pulled out her rolling pin. "And now, Ah'm gonna put ya to sleep!"
"NO!"
Before Chica could do any damage, Francine pushed her friend out of the way. The two of them landed on the floor as the chicken's weapon pounded against the mattress. She then glared at the teenagers.
"Francie…" the chicken spoke up. "Ah understand that y'all are in love but Ah'm tryin' ta teach yer boy toy a lil' lesson!" she sighed. "Now, step aside. Or Ah'm gonna have ta hurt you."
"Francine, let me handle this." Theo whispered. "I don't wanna see you get hurt."
She shook her head, shielding her friend from the chicken. "No way! I'm stepping in whether you like it or not! You're my best friend!"
"How sweet~!" Chica cooed bitterly. "But y'all both being punished…"
"I'm stepping in!" Mike exclaimed before turning to Shaffy. "Take me there!"
The Shadow and Chi blinked. The bear shook his head. "Are you crazy?! Your cover will be blown if you leave!"
"That doesn't matter right now! They need our help!"
The slimmer chick nodded. "It's either we save them now or they become babies. Then no one will be able to save the others."
Shaffy crossed his arms before nodding. He then snapped his fingers. "I'll do one better."
Suddenly Francine and Teddy appeared right in front of them. The two teens blinked and was about to say something but Chica started throwing a fit.
"Where the HELL DID THEY GO?!"
"It's alright Miss Chica…" Ballora chided, resting a hand on the bird's shoulder. "It's okay…"
"No it's NOT!" she squawked. "Not only has mah dear sissy disappeared but those two traitors did too!" she clenched her teeth and grumbled. "Those fucking Shadows are gonna get it now...wherever they are…"
Shaffy cursed under his breath.
Ballora blinked. "Who?"
Chica stared up at the dancer with a look of annoyance before shaking it off with a nervous smile. "Nothin' nothin'...let's just settle the kids down fer bed."
The blue haired woman nodded as the two made their exit.
"This is bad…" the purple bear sighed, closing the screen he created.
"What are we going to do?" Chi asked nervously.
"We need a plan." Mike stated. "But first…" he turned to Francine and Teddy. "You two must be very confused."
The teens nodded.
The man smirked. "No worries, we'll bring you up to speed."
