Beastfire: Hi! Welcome to chappie 10!
Chapter 10- The Final One Saved
The Monkey Team regrouped late at night and ended up going to bed. They'd found only Mandarin dressed as a girl, Bloodstone dazed and covered in dirt, Tony knocked out, and Naithair with a broken shoelace around his neck as part of a failed suicide attempt. They had a hard time getting to sleep, knowing that there was a family with three infants in danger. They eventually did, which was when Ygrene landed quietly outside. Ivy made her way in and came out with two lightsabers, a shotgun, a beer, and Gaia.
"I sense that my master is in danger," the sword said.
"That's because he is," replied Ivy, giving Ygrene the weapons to hold onto. "Be right back!"
Ivy sped over to the nearest supermarket and came out with a bag and a jar of hair gel. She ran back over to the dragon.
"What's in the bag?" he asked curiously.
"Just something to help Frus," she replied.
They made their way around, looking for Lorena and Frus. On the way, Ivy sat down with Dylan on her lap. She was using the hair gel to spike the fur on his head. If she were to have him get into that habit, then he'd be much easier to distinguish from Tyr.
Frus, meanwhile, had grown even weaker from hunger. Lorena went to bed before this point and left him alone. Had he possessed more strength at the time, he would make some sort of escape attempt. As he looked up at the cage's ceiling, he heard a voice whisper, "There he is!"
He looked to see a shadow of diminutive stature holding a sword. The collar snapped off.
"Huh?" was the first thing to escape his lips.
"Frus?" the figure asked.
"Yes?"
The figure with the sword ran over, revealing herself to be Ivy. She went into the cage through the bars quickly and hugged the starving mongoose.
"Don't worry," she said, "We're gettin' ya outta here."
"We? You mean-"
"That's right. The kids are just fine."
Ivy helped Frus outside to where Ygrene and the children were. The dragon looked at his friend and felt relieved.
"Oh, good. You're alright," he said.
"Define 'alright'," replied Frus.
Ivy got Frus up onto Ygrene's back on her own flight ability.
"C'mon," she told him. "I got something for ya."
She opened the bag and took out a carton of fried chicken and a bag of cherries. Ivy jumped out of the way as Frus attacked the food. He hadn't eaten for about two days now and he would've eaten just about anything. But Ivy knew what his favorite foods were. That made things even better. This reminded her that the boys needed to eat again.
Because of her mutant genes, Ivy's physiology was different from that of the normal meerkat. In fact, it was as though she were still human, for the way to nurse her babies was through breastfeeding. To make it fair, she had them go one at a time, rather than two at once.
Frus was still shoveling the food down when Ivy finished with the kids and realized that she forgot to get something for herself to eat with her beer. He noticed her and moved over to provide some room near the food, picked up a drumstick, and was obviously offering it to her. She sat down next to him.
"Thanks," she told him.
"I should be thanking you," he replied after swallowing his present mouthful of food. "So, thank you."
"Need something to wash that down with?"
Ivy handed him her beer and he took it with a grateful look in his eyes. She reached into the bag she got from the store and pulled out another beer for herself. They were all headed back for Shuggazoom.
Speaking of Shuggazoom, at the Super Robot, Nova was suffering from insomnia. As annoying as she was, Ivy was like a sister to the yellow monkey. Heck, they even FOUGHT like sisters! The fact that there were young children in this situation made it worse. Nova was musing over this when she heard something outside. She rushed out to see a big blue dragon. On his back, she saw Ivy, Frus, Tyr, Dylan, and Seamus.
"There you are! We've been so worried!" Nova exclaimed.
"About who?" asked Ivy. "Just the kids, or-"
"All of you! Are you okay? Wait…do I smell fried chicken?"
"Yes," Frus admitted. "But, there's none left."
Nova didn't care. She only cared that they were alive and well, as Ivy and Frus came down with their sons. She wanted to hold the boys and was overjoyed when she was allowed to do so. The rest of the team gradually woke up and felt relieved to see that the boys and their parents were safe.
Beastfire: That's chappie 10! Next time, we see how the villains are doing, for they want revenge…
Frus: Who cares? I'm free!
Ivy: And who do you have to thank for that?
Frus: Ygrene.
Ivy: Well, yeah, but I'm the one who contacted him.
Frus: True.
Beastfire: Well, please review!
