Hey everyone! Sorry about the delay, I know that I said I'd update more a few times last month. I did, and hell I've been working on them to. But geez, what the heck else can I say? Real life sucks. Work, drains everything out of me, real life drama takes away my motivation. Not to mention somehow for some odd reason and time I got little bit to start working on my book.

And if your wondering, no. Not Fanfiction, me actually writing trying to write a book which has been a freaking progress for about a year. And you'd figure that if writing Fanficiton was easy then how hard would actually be writing and making my own original stuff be? A lot harder!

Also I did say when I posted up the new chapter of Ultraman Kiba that this would come out yesterday but after a long day of work I was beat and fell asleep.

But anyways enough of me, how's about say we get this story continuing on a bit more?

Chapter 22

Everything is Crabs

It's been at least over six months since Scarlemagnes plans for conquest over the surface was thwarted. With the mandrill now in custody, and the plans enslaving humans at an end, the group now had another objective.

To find Dr. Emilia and stop her from creating a cure that would revert all of Mute Kind back into animals. Something we could not allow, turning them back wouldn't solve anything, it'd only prove that humanity's desire to remain in control would still become their ultimate downfall.

So, little to work with the group has been searching, everywhere they could think of. Such places they've already been during their travels. They've even found old uninhabited burrows, but even with their best efforts and three Mega Mutes to even the odds, there search has yet to yield results.

On the bright side though, in those six months while tension of the cure was everywhere, the group managed to have some small breaks. Chris and Kipo have fully learned to maintain there inner mega's, turning back from Mega to human was now much easier for them. They've tried out many different ways to help out Song, who was not only free from mind control but was back into her daughter's life.

Speaking of life, a few days their victory over Scarlemagne, the hybrids had finally had their first date. They took up the favor Cappuccino owed Chris for helping them out. And they ultimately decided that Brunchington Beach would be a normal stop for them especially the middle of the day when they took breaks searching for Emilia.

Aside from that, they've always managed to think of something to help set the mood. Like jamming out with the Umulat Snakes, hanging out with Fun Gus and Kipo teaching Chris how to cook under the supervision of Leo who was actually more then happy to teach him the ropes. So those little moments helped them bond and get to know one another a bit better.

He also tried to 'tutor' him, which was pretty much a process. As to be expected when your main focus was surviving and not education. But with a little help and encouragement from his girlfriend, the male hybrid was getting to there, even if it was a small start.

At the entrance to the Timber Cat forest the sun had now set signaling the start of night time. This also signified the end of another day of searching for the mega's. Mega Tiger, Jaguar and Monkey had returned to their current residence. When they did both felines jumped changing back into their normal selves landing on Song's shoulder.

" Well, all that effort and still nothing. " Chris commented as he stretched out his limbs. " Maybe we'll find Emilia tomorrow. " Kipo said trying to think positive while her mother lifted up one of her hands and lowered down both hybrids to the ground.

" She can't hide forever, eventually she'll have to slip up somehow. " Chris pointed out as they jumped off the mega monkey's hand. She lowered her head down to let Kipo hug up on her. " Sweet dreams, mom. See you in the morning. "

" Take it easy Song. " Chris said and as he did, he felt one of the mega monkey's fingers gently rub on his head making him groan a bit embarresed while Kipo laughed at the affection he was getting before she went down to sleep.

" Does she gotta keep doing that? " Chris questioned as he was fixing his hair. " This becoming a normal thing now... "

" I think it's cute. Plus it's her way of saying she likes you. " Kipo said as they entered the village where the mute felines were carving on the tree's using their axes. Among those carving Molly was one of them and spotted the hybrids.

" Axes up, Timbercats! " She cried out. " The Mega Tiger and Jaguar have returned from yonder! " She and the cats did just that including a few that came out of nowhere startling Kipo in the process.

" Whoa! Uh, thanks! " She said moving past them slowly while chuckling nervously. " I don't think I'm ever going to get used to this. "

" I already am. " Kipo turned over to Chris who had a pleased look on his face. " Your just enjoying it aren't you? "

" Would it be wrong if I said yes? " He replied back with a smirk as a familar squeal was heard. Mandu came running up Kipo holding a stick in her mouth with the rest of the group not to far behind.

She went down to pet her pig and looked to her friends. " Anything? "

" Nothin'. " Wolf was the first to awnser with Benson adding into it. " We've checked every village, field, building, house, alley, cave, scary dark hole, welcoming dark hole- "

" Basically no humans. " Chris cut him off from speaking already getting the point. " But I did find this sweet bag. " Benson said pointing to the said bag that was strapped across his chest earning a flat unimpressed look from the silver teen.

" It's like Emilia turned invisible. " Dave exclaimed before gasping. " She could be anywhere! Sneaking around here with the cure. She could be here right now! Get away you science monster! " The bug started wailing his arms and as he did Mandu bit one of them and started chewing on it after she broke the stick. " Ow, ow, ow! Stop chewing on me! "

Leo came up to them drying his hands on a towel. " Ok, Kipo. I've made enough dumplings to feed a small army. Side note though, you and Chris are doing the dishes. " Hearing this Kipo playfully scoffed confidently.

" Oh! I hope it's enough for all the new HMUFA members Jamack will bring back. "

" If he even does. " Chris chimed. " We'll share a warm meal and then stop the invisible monster that wants to destroy everyone. " She puts a hand out. " HMUFA! " The humans joined in cheering away." HMUFA! "

" Uh, what's a 'Huh-moo-fa?' " Yumyan asked walking right by them carrying a large ball of yarn over his shoulder.

" Remember? The Human Mute Ultimate Friendship Alliance? " Benson questioned. " Oh, right. " The cat remembered. " I thought we all agreed that idea was crazy. "

" No, you said, 'This is crazy! We all agree!' " Wolf said mimicking what Yumyan had said. " Then you walked out. "

" And then we scheduled our first HMUFA meeting. It's tonight. " Kipo said excitedly making the cat wince. " Ooh, yeah, Kipo. Tonight's our weekly Yarn Watching. " He motioned to a giant ball of yarn being lifted into the air. " We swing a ball back and forth and watch it as it slowly unravels into an irresistible pile on the ground. (chuckle) I never miss it. " He walks off.

" Better go check on those dumplings. " Leo spoke up before he walked off. " Hasta la pasta. "

" Hey, Kipo, is HUMFA mandatory? " Dave asked as Mandu kept chewing on his arms. " Because something's come up for me. It's the yarn thing. Ow! Mandu again!? Quit it! " The bug said trying to get the pig to knock it off. They then heard a sigh coming from behind. They turned behind and saw it was Jamack and the TheaOtter's who looked like a complete mess.

" Hey! Did you get the tons of recruits? " Kipo asked walking up to them hoping for good news. " Did they fall... "

" Kipo...Hold on... " Chris said walking up beside her as Jamack sighed again. " What the heck happened to you guys?

Jamack sighed a third time but Puck beat him to the punch putting his paw against the frogs cheek. " There we were, moments from being gobbled up from those sinister, slithering serpents, when we were rudely heckled by HummingBombers! "

" I'm sorry, heckled? " Jamack repeated that one word he said. " They dropped a nectar bomb on us and kidnapped Camille! " He paused going into thought. " Actually, that was good timing. "

" Wait, back up! The HummingBombers took Camille? Wh-Why would they do that? "

" That doesn't make any sense though..." Chris chimed in. " The HummingBombers might be bold because of their aerial advantage, but they always stick to their territories the same goes for the Umulat Snakes. "

" It's just the way things are. Mutes hate mutes from rival groups. Always have. " Jamack said before mumbling. " Only thing I hate more is our play... "

" Philistine. " Puck said.

" Uh, Kipo we have some thoughts about our next performance. There's not gonna be a next performance! " The frog said as he walked off with Puck and the rest of the otters behind him. " Ooh, an unraveling! "

" Ah, high drama in its purest form. Let us partake. " Puck said while Chris smacked himself in the forehead.

" So, if this meeting isn't happening, I have a date with Troy. " Benson spoke up.

" You made back-up plans? "

" Dude, seriously? " Both hybrids weren't pleased to here this from a member of their group.

" Whoa, whoa, it's not what you think. I just promised Troy I'd watch his close-up magic. If the meeting maybe didn't happen. "

" Well I didn't make plans. " Wolf said coming up to them while Benson whistled trying to sneak away which was something Kipo was happy to hear. " Thank you Wolf. Now if we can just convince the HummingBombers that Dr. Emilia is a threat, they'll stop picking fights with the snakes. "

As it seemed like Benson made his getaway Chris grabbed him by the sleeve. He sighed in defeat. " And just like that, my date night-whoosh-disappeared. "

" There's another time for that Benson, right now we gotta deal with this. " Chris said making a point. " But guys listen. I think it'd be best if we split up. I go to Cactus Town and you guys go find the HummingBombers. "

" Good idea. We'll be able to cover more ground that way. " Wolf agreed nodding her head and as Chris was about to make his way off Kipo called out to him.

" Chris wait! "

" What? " He turned around and saw she was smiling and had her hands shaped like a heart. " I love you. Bye. " He in return in return he smiled back as they both transformed going off into separate directions this in return earned a few snickers from the rest of the group who actually liked seeing the two hybrids affection towards one another.


Normally the ruins of Las Vistas would be quiet at this time however this night not so much. Because a series of large explosions and mushroom clouds were seen all right near an old transmission tower. The humming bombers were just sitting their throwing their explosive nector bombs away.

They didn't even notice or seem to care when they heard the mega jaguar coming up from behind them. The feline jumped into the air and made a 'super landing'.

" Hey. " Dave greeted.

" Cool trick. " The large bomber said. " I've got one, too. " He threw a nector bomb forward making an explosion that rocked the tower a bit making Kipo almost lose her footing while Dave was amazed by the sight he was seeing.

" What're you doing in our airspace, groundies? " The leader of the group named Easy questioned. " We already told you were not joining your stupid Friendship Alliance. "

" Okay, well, it's not stupid, it's ultimate, and- " Kipo didn't get to finish as Easy threw another nector bomb making another explosion making the tower shake again.

" Just let us bomb our pain away in peace. " The hummingbird said as the female hybrid went up to sit right next to him. " Oh. Sorry to interrupt your sad bomb party, but were looking for our friend, Camille. " She made her arms into paws. " She's about yay long. Scaly. She's a snake. " Her arms went normal. " Should've led with snake. Anyway. You didn't, perchance, kidnap her? "

Easy started sobbing away. " Not tonight! " He said throwing another bomb. " We've been busy crying and chucking bombs into the forest! " He continues to do so.

" Are you guys OK? " Kipo asked but Easy was crying no able to give her an anwser but they quickly started asking themselves another question.

" So, someone else took Camille? " Wolf looked over to Benson. " Who would do that? " The large humming bomber cried.

" The Newton Wolves! Guess it wasn't enough that they ate Boom-Boom! " He got ready to throw a very large nector bomb. " This one's for you, Boom-Boom! " Easy cried out as his comrade threw it making another explosion. Dave gasped excitedly as he grabbed a bomb from one the smaller members.

" This one's also for you Boom-Boom! " He threw it and made the explosion. " Dave, you don't even know her. " Benson said to the bug. " But I got to throw a bomb! Don't take this away from me! "

" Why would the Newton Wolves eat Boom-Boom? " Kipo asked as Easy wiped few tears from his eye. " It's the way things are. Wolves are vicious. They did it for no reason! "

" Yeah! Right after we pooped on their new telescope. " The big bomber chimmed in. " The next morning, boom! Boom-Boom was gone. "

" Wait, you didn't actually see them take her? " Kipo questioned further. " Never saw 'em come, never saw 'em leave. Life is but a walking shadow. " Easy said and continued crying.

Both human looked to one another already knowing the anwser. " Emilia. "

" Emilia! " Kipo exclaimed as the birds threw another bomb making it explode.


After getting information from the Humming Bombers they went over to their next stop the Las Vista's Observatory. Along the way they ran up into Chris. They stopped exchanging information with one another Kipo telling him Hummingbomber's story while he told the details of what the Copper and the rest of the snakes told him. It wasn't to hard to determine the cause of what was going on either.

So with their other member with them the group had now arrived at the observatory. When they did arrive, they were greeted with a bit of hostility considering what happened the last time they were there.

" You know were just to talk and stop stir up trouble. " Chris said to Good Billions in a unamussed tone even as they were getting circled around by some wolves. " So maybe you can chill out for like a few minutes? "

" You may have saved our lives at Aurum, but we didn't forget about the telescope, or the fact that you're both part, ugh, cat. " All the sudden without warning Bad Billions came yelling and screaming like a crazy dude running past everyone who let him threw. When he got into the courtyard he started spinning around while hold two rocks in his paws.

" Your lucky Billions is working. " Good said.

" Leave me to my Research! " Bad retorted back.

" Uh...what's he doing? " Chris questioned earning a sigh from Good. " He's trying to prove that dark matter exists inside those moon rocks. "

" Science is weird. " Dave commented not even bothered by the fact Mandu was chewing on his leg.

" What do you want!? " Bad Billions questioned.

" We're looking for Boom-Boom, and the HummingBombers think you ate her. " Chris anwsered getting a reaction from Good Billions.

" Ha! First they soil our new telescope and now they're spreading lies!? "

" We are predators! But lately, I feel like prey! " Bad commented.

" So, you didn't eat Boom-Boom? " Kipo questioned. " How 'bout Camille? She's a snake. Yes! Led with snake. "

The wolf crossed his arms trying to think as two of the wolves came up next to him. " NO. The last person we ate-Was it Jeff? " He got a nod back in response. " Yeah. Jeff. Jeff the squirrel. But Jeff was three days ago. And now I'm feeling peckish. " He said now gaining a hungry look in his eyes while Chris made his right arm into a paw.

" You really want try your luck? " The male hybrid questioned. " Cause I'd gladly let you try...Even though it'd wouldn't make much of a difference. " As he said this his girlfriend was in thought.

" So. A snake is missing. A bird is also missing. Does a wolf happen to be missing? "

Goods snapped out of it to reply. " No. "

" Dang it! " This earned a elbow from Chris who gave her a 'really?' look. " I mean, uh, good! "

" Someone did steal our centrifuge! " Bad spoke up from the sidelines.

" Oh my gosh! " Kipo said fake dramtically earning a look of confusion from Chris. " Uh..what? You lost me there..."

" A machine that creates high centrifugal forces to separate particles! " Kipo explained. " Which you would need if your're perfecting a genetic cure! I know who stole your centrifuge! "

Good scoffed hearing this. " So do we. The Timber Cats. "

" Wait, what!? The Timbercats would never! " Kipo argued.

" It is an established scientific fact that cats like spinny things! " Bad chimmed in continued to spin but sounded like he was growing tired.

" He's not wrong actually. " Chris confirmed.

" No. I'm sure it was Dr. Emilia! "

" Dr. Emilia? Do you mean that fake villain from that weird play? " Good questioned before his brother chimed in. " I loved that play! That frog's voice made me feel things! "

" Okay, so let me get this straight... " Chris spoke up now taking the floor. " You think that everything we've been trying to tell you all for six months is still a load of crap? "

" In retrospect yes. " Good anwsered getting a flat look from the silver teen. But before he could speak Kipo cutted him off.

" Anyways! If you come back to Timbercat village I can prove that the cats didn't steal from you. If I'm wrong, I help get your stuff back. If I'm right, you join HMUFA and we get your stuff back together. "

Hearing this idea intrigued Good thought very carefully. " Alright, fine. We'll come along. But were mainly doing it to retrieve our centrifuge. " Kipo squealed in excitement.

" Thank you! Thank you! You won't regret it! " She said before the group started to make their leave.

" You do know that there's gurantee that everything will go as you planned right? " Wolf questioned.

" That's only just a possibility. "

" Kipo no offense but are you really taking this seriously? " Chris added in his question. " I'm not trying to bring the mood down or anything, but Mutes stealing from other Mutes is pretty common. Not to mention Bad Billions is right about cats loving spinny things. "

" How do you know? " Dave asked.

" Eh, one day I found myself playing with a ball of yarn because I bored and had nothing else to do. "

" Chris will you please try to think positive? " Kipo begged her boyfriend. " We really could use this. "

" Alright fine." He gave into her request. " I'll go along with this...Maybe for once everything will go our way. "


One hour later. What Chris said an hour ago came back to bite him on the ass. After finally managing to get the Umulat Snakes, Humming Bombers & Newton Wolves to Timbercat Village everything seemed to be going fine. But pretty soon it was all going down south real quick. First the mutes started arguing and demanding anwsers before getting calmed down. And just when it looked like they were getting somewhere Yumyan revealed that they did steal the wolve's centrifudge to use it for their yarn watching.

Then afterwards everything turned ugly and a big fight broke out in the main hall. Not only was their first HMUFA meeting a disaster but now they've potentially lost possible allies to join them to stop Emilia.

Chris and Kipo just walk out of the main hall and behind them they could hear the sounds of roughhousing making their way towards the rest of their group including Leo. Well minus Dave and Mandu because the pig was chasing the bug.

" Well, that was a big bust. " Chris commented a bit disappointed in how things turned out.

" I just made everything worse didn't I? "

" Kipo don't be so hard on yourself. " Wolf said to her 'sister'. " They wanted to fight each other anyway. You just put them all in the same room. "

" I just had to pull Troy's sleight-of-hand arm out of a snake's mouth. " Benson exclaimed as he whipped off some spit off his arms.

" Okay, so everything didn't go as planned, nothing does at first. " Chris spoke up trying to cheer them up. " We can still try again, right? " After he asked that question he noticed the expressions on Wolf and Benson's face drop a little. " What? "

" Guys, it might be time to consider that HMUFA won't work. " Wolf said speaking her mind followed by Benson. " I think the Alliance was a beautiful dream that the world just isn't ready for. "

" No. " Kipo disagreed with what they were suggesting. " We need help to stop Dr. Emilia. "

" Kipo's right. " Leo backed up his daughter. " It's been months, and we're no closer to finding her. She'll have the cure any day now, and then she'll be unstoppable. Ohh, I hate that woman! "

" You and me both... " Chris grumbled crossing his arms.

" We stopped Scarlemagne by ourselves. We can find a way to stop Emilia, too. " Wolf said reminding them of their past achievement months ago.

" We only won that fight because got lucky and there were to many risks involved into it. If it'd had turned out differently, well I doubt we'd all be here together. " Chris said in a matter of fact tone remembering when he and Kipo had to go mega to save everyone at Aurum even though they ran the risk of permantly being Mega for the rest of their lives.

" But now things are different, we need everyone to come together if were to have to have a future together on the surface. War has already begun, whenever they like it or not. " Chris said as he held out his right arm turning into into a paw that smashed an incoming piece of wood while everyone else flinched.

" Even if we can't protect them from themselves? " Benson asked.

" Were no different then they are. " The silver teen said as their friend yawned. " So, is it OK if I get some sleep now? "

" Yeah, it's been a long night. " Kipo replied. " You guys should get some rest. I think me and Chris should try and break that up. See you all bright and early. " She puts her hand out making those around her put them togehter. " HMUA-ee, " She hesitates a bit. " well, I guess just 'yay us'. " With that done Wolf and Benson walked off to turn in for the night.

" Why don't ya come back home? " Leo suggested putting a hand on his daughter's shoulder. " Something tells me you two aren't going to be able to fix that tonight. "

" Question is, can I fix it at all? " Kipo asked as she walked off leaving both her father and boyfriend alone.

Watching her walk off Chris sighed rubbing his temples. " Could you try and talk to her? " Leo questioned. " I know this didn't go down the way she wanted bu- "

" Say no more. " Chris cut him off putting a hand up. " I was already planning to. "

" Thank you. "


In the distance about a few miles away from the timber cat's forest in the ruins from the old world a whole herd of Mega Crabs started heading in the villages direction drawn to the sounds of the fighting.


Shortly after dinner was done Kipo jumped her way up through the trees along with Chris before stopping at where they were headed. The very spot they were at now was the same lone branch of where Scarlemagne was being held. Shortly after capturing him, the group went back to the former 'resistance's' base and took the glass holding cell, placing him inside so he wouldn't be able to use his pheromone and it's where he's been for the last six months serving time.

" Hmm. Sounds like it isn't going too well down there. "Oh no. The secret handshake didn't fix two hundred years of malcontent? Shocking. " The mandrill laughed lightly.

" Go ahead and laugh. But if Dr. Emilia succeeds you disappear to. " Kipo argued making a valid point.

" Fine. " He stands up turning to the hybrids. " Here's some advice. "

" We didn't ask for any. " Kipo said. " Too bad. I'm stuck here with my thoughts, and you two are the only ones who visits. If you need the Mutes to help you with Emilia, make them fear you. "

" That's not happening. " Chris told the ape.

" It's the only way to get them to work together. They're savage brutes. They either dominate or cower. The Mega Jaguar and Tiger could get them in line. "

" I don't want to do that..I want them to want to help us. W-we're not you. "

" Yeah and look where that ideology got you. " The silver teen added. " You nearly killed dozens of innocent lives including yourself in the process. "

" Well, good luck protecting them with high-fives and a smile, then. " Scarlemagne said as he turned around. " At least your boyfriend has sense on how the world works. "

" Don't patronize me. " Chris said as they turned around to leave.

" Wait. " The mandrill called out making them stop. " You didn't give me my food. " He said as pointing down. " Put in the slot, please. " Kipo did just that giving her 'adoptive' brother his meal for the night.

" Ugh! Pancakes again? Are you serious? Don't you people eat anything else? "

" I'm not pleased with it it either. But I'm not complaining and neither should you, unless you want to hungry. " The silver teen said in a matter of fact tone.

" Eh, touche. " Scarlemagne said as Chris followed Kipo down landing on a ball of yarn and landed right next to her in front of the main hall.

" Is he right Chris? " Kipo asked a bit hesitantly. " Do we need to make them listen to us?

" Yes and no. No there shouldn't always be a need to use it and yes there'll times when we got to. Especially if we were to protect our own. " The silver teen anwsered. But despite hearing his words she still looked a bit down as she put her paws away. Seeing this Chris lifted up her chin locking eyes with her.

" Kipo...I know your frustrated, and so am I. But we have to keep trying, no one else is. That's why we gotta keep going. " She smiled happy to see him trying to her up while doing so the sound of laughter caught their attention.

Both of them looked down and what they saw made Kipo happily gasp while Chris smiled.


We now see Kipo dragging Wolf by the cape still half asleep while Benson groaned a bit after Chris woke him up.

" Ugh, Kipo...I was in the middle of a great dream. Troy sawed a lady and now I'll never know if he magic'd her back together. I hate cliffhangers... " He whispered the last part in annoyance.

" Yeah, well what your about to see is something much better then that. " Chris said before stopped arriving at what the two hybrids wanted to show them.

" Guy's look.

" Scrumples is it! " What they saw was something completely unexpected, Mute children from different groups were playing with each other, Newton Wolf pups, HummingBombers chicks, and a Umulat snake were playing with a few Timber Kittens.

They look over a kitten and pup. " So it's starts with a high five- " They did that. " " But then bump elbows. " They did before turning around. " And then you turn around to bump tails. "

" Eee! Secret handshake! " Kipo was super happy to see this while Chris chuckled a bit.

" Oh, I'm seeing it. " Benson confirmed.

" Their parents are all sworn enemies, but they're not! "

" I can't believe I'm about to say this, but maybe we should give HMUFA another shot. " Wolf admitted.

" Don't you see? Maybe that's how things are... " She said motioning to the tree that had the great hall and back to the kids. " But this is how things could be. "

" Wow. I heard that here and here " Dave said tapping his head and chest ignoring the fact that Mandu was still chewing on him.

" I think HMUFA is bigger than just stopping Dr. Emilia. It's a forever thing. "

" And a future that's worth fighting for. " Chris added with a smile before turning over to the distance where a few buildings could be seen through the tree line. " Just think about it, two hundred years ago Las Vistas used to be alive bustling with life. People living among one another, saying hi to their neighbor, talking to their friends, and enjoying their lives. I bet with enough hard work, it can be like that again. Only this time we live alongside Mutes. "

" That was beautiful. " Kipo said before gasping in excitement. " You know what this means? It's HMUf-FA! " Hearing this Chris gave her a look. " Kipo that sounds weird. "

" I know. Let's just make the second F silent. But it stands for forever. " Instead of arguing the silver teen just shrugged his shoulders already letting it go.

" So, it's a high-five and then under the leg and-What was after that? " They glanced over to Leo interacting with the kitten and pup who were doing the secret handshake kneeling down to their level.

" Um...back flip! " The kitten anwsered. " OK. " Knowing he wouldn't be able to Leo did it anyways falling flat down laughing as the mute kids swarmed around him. But all of the sudden a loud thump was heard grabbing their attention. " Whoa!

" What was that? " Benson asked." It was probably just Kipo's mom getting up to stretch her legs. " Dave guessed. " I wouldn't worry about it- " As he said that a massive claw came crashing down smashing the bug.

When that happened everyone glanced up to see a screeching Mega Crab. " Holy sea food! Mega Crab! " Chris exclaimed as he did not expect to see this out in the woods.

" Where'd that thing from!? " Benson added in the yelling followed by Kipo.

" Someone do something! " Wolf gave her 'sister' a flat expression. " Kipo, that's you and Chris's job. "

" Right-right-right-right-right. " Kipo said before jumping up into action instantly becoming the Mega Jaguar with Chris not to far behind becoming a Mega Tiger. Both Mega tackled the crab making it scitter back a few feet. It then screeched making more crabs appear. But despite this, both felines roared showing they wouldn't back down.

At the same time Song woke up and joined in the fight. All this noise apparently drew the attention the mutes fighting in the main hall making them stop fighting and ran out to see the action going on. To their right they saw Kipo tackling a crab to the ground before running off avoid a snapping claw.

Over to the left Song bashed into a crab that was heading towards them and as one came behind her Chris swatted it away with his claws and pounced on it going for the kill.

" I've never seen anything like this before. " Yumyan said in amazement.

" Yeah, good luck with that. " Easy said as he got up into the air and apparently the wolf's had the same idea. " We'll leave you to deal with your crabs. " Good Billions said as he and the rest of his pack ran off while the Humming Bombers laughed flying away.

" Cowards! " Yumyan turns to Cotton. " What about you? You're not gonna run off? "

" I never run away from a fight. " The snake anwsered firmly and the cat was pleased to hear this. " Yumyan protects you all! "

" How are we gonna fight a Mega Crab? " Molly questioned actually making a good point and as another crab came up to them Chris bit on it's claw and swung it around throwing the mega into a few trees.

" Wait! " Cotton gained an idea and slithered up to one of the hanging yarn balls. " We can use this! "

Yumyan gasped at this. " How dare you! " The ground shook making both him and Molly loose their footing. Seeing that there were bigger things going on the grey cat gave in much to his annoyance. " Fine. Yumyan loans you...yarn. "

As this was going on Kipo was squaring off with a mega crab swatting it's claw with one o her paws. Despite this the crustaceon went forward snatching up her paw and knocked the jaguar to the ground. Nearby Chris had just finished sinking his teeth into the recent crab he was fighting. Seeing that she was in a pickle the mega tiger jumped pouncing on the crabs back and bit off some of it's eyes making the crab howl in pain.

" This is getting tense! " Benson commented as he, Wolf and Leo were trying to get the mute children to safety

As they were doing so a tree fell down behind them. Looking up they saw a large bulky Timber cat cutting down trees with a single swipe of his axe with ease jumping from one to another. When he was done with each one a few other timber cats climbed up and rapidly started chopping at the stump gradually going down as they started sharpening them into spear head points.

While they were doing this Molly was chopping off balls of yarn. One landed both Yumyan and Cotton exchanged a nod before the snake took the tip of the yarn and slithered off with it. Even with the crabs moving through them the cats were bringing in more yarn and the rest of the snakes including Benson were each making them go around the chopped down trees to set them up.

As this happened Yumyan screamed upon seeing an incoming claw from a crab going towards him. But luckily Cotton tackled him out of the way just in the nick of time.

" Thanks snake. " The said serpent scoffed. " Don't mention it, cat. " From up above Scarlemagne was watching everything transpire and because of the shaking his plate dropped ruining his dinner including a toddler Dave moving underneath the crabs legs.

We now see Song punching away Crabs like there was no tommorow but they were starting to surround her and they were using their claws to grab onto her ars. The Mega Monkey could only roar in frustration seeing she was getting overcrowded. Her daughter heard this and the jaguar tried to go to her but as she ran one of the crabs grabbed her tails and threw the feline up against a tree.

As she was going to get back up she heard the voices of the timber cat and umlaut snakes calling out to her. She saw the trap they made for the Mega Crabs and it was just what they needed.

She roared out calling to Chris who had just teared of a mega crabs claw. Upon hearing the jaguar the tiger dropped what was in his mouth and ran over to help out Song. Without trouble they dealt with the crabs and made a run for the trip trap while the crabs gave chase not knowing what was going to happen.

As for the three other mega's using their built up speed they made a leap over the trap narrowly avoiding the spears. As for the crabs they weren't so lucky, the tied up yarn tripped them all up and they all fell to their deaths impaled by the trees making a squelching noise grossing everyone out.


After that scuffle it clear that there was one main course on the menu that night. Some good old crab meat the cats and the snakes were now eating their defeated opponents in the grand hall enjoying their feast while the mute kids continued to play. Some of them were unintentionally like a few chickbombers and newtonpups that were left behind by their groups.

In the middle one of the crabs legs and Yumyan climbed on top of it raising up an axe. " Everyone, I have an announcement! " He got their attention. " The HMUFA, which we all agree isn't crazy, has new members! You'll never believe who! "

" Duh, it's us! " Cotton spoke up making everyone cheer and Kipo extremely happy that their little group had just gotten bigger.

" First order of business, we'll help you find Camille. "

" Until then, Yumyan babysits you all! " The said cat said before the mute children gathered around him much to his delight laughing away even as he fell onto the floor. While this went on Chris noticed something poking his girlfriend getting her attention. He pointed over to Mandu who was chewing on a piece of crab shell while toddler Dave came up to her and started chewing on it as well.

" Mandu's tusks are coming in. She's teething! "

" So that's why she's been cranky all day. " Benson commented. " I was really convinced it was all Dave's fault, somehow. "

" Eh, it was still funny to watch though. " Chris commented as he continued eating his dinner. " Mhmhmhm! Man, I haven't had crab in so long...How you liking it Wolf? "

" This is delicious. " The young survivor replied back before pausing a bit in thought. " But what was all this seafood doing in the forest? "

" Huh..." Hearing this made Chris pause to. " Yeah, your right Mega Crabs never travel this far out away from water...Kipo didn't we see some earlier? "

" Yeah, we some crabs by the highway when we were looking for- " She gasped in realization dropping her fork.

" Were you gonna say something else? " Wolf questioned.

" What's the only thing that could drive Mega crabs from their homes? "

" A Sonic Emitter. " Benson now knew where this was going while Wolf put in her thoughts. " That's why we haven't been able to find Dr. Emilia on the surface. "

" Because she's at sea! " As Kipo said this Puck and the TheaOtters came running in all of them were out of breath." Puck, what is it? "

" A most dastardly development, I'm afraid. It's Jammack! During the scuffle with the mega crustacea, he went missing. We found this on the forest floor. " Chris took the dart to examine it. " I fear the worst. "

Chris took a few whiffs of it. " Yeah, there's no doubt about it. I got multiple human scents on this. "

" Kipo what is she's not just kidnapping Mutes? What if she's gathering test subjects? " Leo questioned.

" What if she's close to finding the cure? And she has our friends! "

" Has our friends yes, but the cure. No, I don't think so. " Chris commented as he continued eating. He didn't even looked bothered by this sudden new development. Seeing how calm he was the group glanced at one another.

" Um...How are so sure? " Kipo asked as he stopped eating.

" If that were the case, we'd be hearing or noticing more Mutes gone missing. Just think about it for a minute, three mutes have already disappeared. Boom-Boom, Camile, and Jamack was only recently taken. She might've been smart enough to hide for so long, but now she's making her move, because she's afraid. "

" Afraid of what? "

" Of me... " Chris said in a grime tone gaining a serious look. " She's afraid...She know's I'm looking for her, she knows what I can do. She hid knowing full well we would look for her, it's just like predators tracking their prey... When they're afraid they hide and eventually they slip up making their mistake...We got her trapped she just doesn't know it yet. "

" Chris she also has the people from the burrow... " Leo spoke up. " They've been with her for months and she probably got them on her side by now. Even if we do confront her she'll them to her advantage. "

" And we'll think of something...Even with someone like her there's always a few that don't agree with the way things go. We just gotta figure out our options. " Chris continued eating. " One way or another that bitch is going down. I promise that. " The silver teen said making Kipo glance over to Leo with a look of concern for her boyfriend and it turned out so did he.

Eh, who cares. In the words of Peter Griffon. If Gay people want to get married and be miserable like the rest of us. I say let them. Then again not 100 percent accurate but close enough.
