Beastfire: Here's chapter 35! ENJOY!

Ivy, Frus, and Vrust turned around at the sound of the voice. It came from someone in a camoflauge uniform. The man looked at Ivy and recognized her.

"I remember you!" he said fondly, gently picking her up.

Frus and Vrust could tell that he meant her no harm, so they just watched as he began petting her.

"Weird," said Ivy suspiciously, "I don't seem to remember you..."

"I'm from the Mutant Protection Agency. The same one that arrested Lorena?"

"Oh, NOW I remember! How'dja die, man?"

"Freak accident...and I can tell you're still alive. You were also attacked by Butch Spellieran."

"How do you know that?" asked Frus, amazed.

The man pulled out a remote, pushed a button, and the robotic arm returned. He patted the arm.

"This," he beamed, "can sense vital signs and has a DNA analyzer."

"Oh. Thank you, that's all I needed to know."

Ivy looked at the platform, control panel, and doorway combo, then at the guy.

"Dude, what is that?" she asked, pointing to it.

"It's a transportation device,"he told her, setting her back down.

Before he could finish, the trio ran over to it. Frus got on first. Vrust and Ivy were pushing buttons, trying to get the right combination. They'd get it started, then jump on. Just then, a beam shot toward Frus and they jumped after him. The beam hit him in the head and the other two made it on. The device whirred and they disappeared from there and reappeared elsewhere. Vrust landed on Ygrene's back, Ivy landed on Saga's head, and Frus was nowhere to be found. Maria noticed and rushed over. She picked Ivy up and hugged her.

"Where have you been? We've been so worried!" Maria told her, then set her down, ran over to Sprx, and twisted his arm behind his back. "Now apologize to my great great granddaughter!"

"For what?" Sprx squeaked.

"You're the reason she ran away in the first place!"

"Okay...I-I'm sorry, Ivy...you're not a weakling..."

Maria let go as Ivy and Vrust were looking around for Frus. They suddenly heard a cry, like that of a small child. Ivy ran over, followed by Vrust. There, on the ground, was a fluffy baby mongoose, with silver fur and big innocent deep red eyes. Ivy blinked.

"FRUS?" she called. "HEY, FRUS, WHERE ARE YA?"

"I-vy?" came the small voice.

Ivy looked down at the child, eyes widening.

"Frus? That you?"

The baby giggled and reached toward her. She picked the baby up and heard a loud THUD. Vrust had fainted.

Beastfire: (giggling) That's chapter 35! Aaaaaawwww...Frus is such a cute baby! What will he eat, since Ivy can't cook...without the usage of a spell or an appliance and she hasn't quite mastered witchcraft? How will Frus be turned back? I don't know...well, please review! Emec, update soon!
