Hey everyone! G King here, sorry for the wait everybody but what the hell can I say? Life happens, like putting a family pet to sleep that we all loved and miss not to mention my mother had to have heart surgery with another coming up, plus work is tiring. And aside from getting back into old games I haven't played in years like Assassins Creed Black Flag and Dead Island, those are the only explinations I have and that's it.
But hey, enough of that, were in the second episode of season three, and after this one there will be only eight more or less depending on how I wish to proceed.
Not to mention how some of the events that'll unfold in this one make a small impact and help further something else...Some of you already probably know what's going on...
Chapter 23
Code Word Milkshake
As of the moment we see some sort of lab come into view, and in was a large table that had supplies and in the middle of the room were four glass containers. Each one had a familar face, like Jamack, Camille and the missing hummingbomber Boom-Boom. And very recently there newest addition. A narwhal with green seeweed hair wearing a black jacket with purple flowers. His name was Hyun-soo leader of the The Narhartz a mute K-Pop band that was pretty popular on the surface and pretty much famous to mute kind.
Not to long ago he had just finished another concert with his band before getting hit with a dart knocking him out. And now he was one the few unfortunate mutes to get captured by Emilia who had been relenteslly trying to create the cure.
" Let's try Serum Sixty-Seven. " She reached into the tank and injected it into the narwhal's head who'd recently woken up, startled by her sudden appearance.
" wonhaneunge mwoya? "/(What do you want?)
Seeing this she groaned in annoyance glaring at the syringe. " Still just a stupid mute. " She said throwing on the floor making it clatter right in front of Jamack who smirked.
" Aww, didn't work again. " He said in a teasing tone. " Frustrating, huh? "
" Shut up mute! " Emilia said as she slammed her fist ontp a chalk board covered in scientific mathematical forumulas dragging her hand across it. " I can't figure this out! Song solved for X. What am I missing? "
" I think we're missing the barbecue. " Greta said making Emilia sigh.
" Let's go, I need a break anyway. And remember Greta, just because it fits in your mouth, doesn't mean it's food. " She said following her strong but not so bright assistant up the stairs.
" All right, kid, don't cry. "
" naneun ulgo issji anhda. naneun danji seulpeun eolgul-eul gajigoissda."(I'm not crying. I just have a sad face.)
Despite not understanding a word that was said Jamack still tried to reassure him. " Don't worry, we're gonna get out of here. Someone's coming for us. " He said with a sigh hoping he was right cause all he could do was sit and wait.
After the whole Mega Crab Fiasco that helped HMUFA gain new members the group now had another problem. Emila was now coming out of hiding, and she was making her move. Now more then ever they had to track her down and pray she didn't have the cure ready to go. Night time had now fallen onto Timber Cat village, the reason being was because do to the previous night, barely anyone got any sleep so they basically sleeped in and rested up before making their next move which was what they were going to do right now.
Chris cleared his throat getting their meeting started.
" Okay, everyone here? Good. Alright, before we begin let's go over with what's going on. After six long months of searching and no results the enemies come out hiding. Not only has she taken not one but possibly captured multiple mutes. Two of them being Jamack, and Camile. "
" What about Boom-Boom? " Wolf asked.
" Eh, yeah her to. " Chris confirmed. " Now with that being said, it's more then likely she's most defiantly trying to make the cure. But most likely she hasn't yet, which means we'll still have a little time before she does. So we have to make every possible chance count. "
Kipo spoke up in frustration. " I can't believe Emilia had the nerve to come sneak here and steal two of our friends! And Boom-Boom. We have to get them back, and soon! Emila has the journal. She could create the cure any day, now. "
Yumyan raised up his axe. " We bravely volunteer! " The rest of the Timber Cats cheered in agreement raising up their axes.
" Yumyan...As much as we'd appreciate your help we'll need to be only few numbers. " Chris said to his uncle. " Plus, she's got the sonic emitter. That's only put you at a disadvantage. "
" Yeah, Chris does have a point. " Kipo agreed with what her boyfriend said.
" We bravely un-volunteer! " Yumyan said putting away his axe knowing he was right along with the rest of the cats.
" All right, time to plan. " Kipo spoke up and turned over to Asher and Dahlia. " Dahlia? Do you have our schematics? " She only replied by slamming her axe into the wooden floor and made a circle around the female hybrid.
" As you can clearly see, this is the ocean. Our target, Emilia,, is somewhere in here. We're gonna need to fly over it to find them. "
" That much is obvious. We know that they took Jamack and the others in only a short amount of time. We don't know how many she even took, at all. On top of that, while finding them is easy enough we need a back up plan to make our get away in case things don't go so well. " Chris said making a valid point at that last part he said.
" And this gonna be a stealth mission. We need to get the journal before she can create the cure, and rescue our friends. " Wolf spoke up.
" And Boom-Boom. " Kipo said.
" You know, I'd feel a lot more safer if you came. " Benson said sitting next to Troy. " Considering we're so good at saving each other. "
" That seems fair. " He agreed to the idea as Dave jumped in between them. " Yeah, Troy's cool. He can totally join us. "
Seeing where this was going Chris nudged Kipo to speak up with his arm. " Aw, sorry, Dave...but remember the last time you were around a sonic emitter? You were like-Aah! " She started to mimic how he reacted to the sonic emitter last time immitating how he tore off his own antenna's to plug his ears. " No! Ow! "
" Yeah, buddy... " Benson sighed knowing she was right. " It would be pretty hard to be stealthy with you screaming in pain...You gonna be okay? "
" No, no, it's fine. " The bug anwsered back chuckling a bit. " Me and Mandu, we- " As he was going to gesture to the pig it was revealed she scrammed. " have already started playing hide-and-seek. " He chuckles again getting off the table. " That sneaky pig. I'm gonna have so much fun without you guys. " He chuckles again which soon shifts into crying as he runs off.
" So what exactly are we up against? " Troy asked.
" Emilai? Oh, boy! " Kipo began to explain. " It all started when she enslaved my mom with mind conrol... " As she was gonna go on and on Chris stepped in.
" In shorter version, she's an evil, wicked, manipulative, bitch that managed to trick your people into going with her. " The silver teen said with a flat expression earning a concerned look from Kipo. " That's it. "
Troy glanced over to Benson who leaned over to him to whisper. " He has a huge beef with her. "
" Oh...I think I understand what you mean. But to be fair, our people don't know any of that. " Troy pointed out.
" Well I understand that you and most likely the rest of humanity kept your heads in the sand. No offense. " Chris said. " There's a lot of things you don't know. But enough of that, we need to get moving pretty soon. Wolf, do you know where can find some dragonflies? "
" I think so. " The young survivor said. " I remember where I seen some, so we'll head there. "
" Sounds good. " The silver teen said right before Kipo grabbed his arm. " Hmm? "
" Uh...Chris...Can I have word with you? Outside please? "
" Sure. " He let her lead him outside to the walkway a good enough distance where they could talk and what she was gonna try to do was a bit nerve racking.
" Okay, Chris I know love you right? "
" Uh-huh. "
" So please don't get mad at me. " He in turn gave her a flat expression. " Just say what your going to say. "
" I think it'd be better if you'd sit this one out. " She said using the air quote gesture.
" What? Kipo, no I am not 'sitting out' on this one. " He repeated the air quote gesture as she did. " I'm going with you. Were supposed to have each others back aren't we? "
" I know, I know... " She said putting a hand on him in reasurrance. " And I know you don't like her... " He raised an eyebrow at the word she used. " Okay, never mind you hate her. But could you please tone it down a bit so we can find our friends? "
" That's fine..." He anwsered. " I wasn't even planning onto anyways...yet... " Hearing this made Kipo hug up on him happy to hear his anwser. " You know your lucky your cute right? "
" I do. "
A while later out in the woods we see Chris silently climbing the side of a tree. His target was a dragonfly they needed at least two or three to fly over the ocean and start their search. Now he just had to paitently wait as he got closer and closer to his target. For a brief moment the dragon fly grew alert and looked around causing him to freeze in place. However it resumbed back to what it was doing make Chris sigh and got close enough before jumping out.
" Our people still went with her! " As Chris jumped the dragon fly flew off and Chris nearly fell off the branch. He turned around and glared at her. She quickly mouthed 'sorry' shapping her hands like a heart in the process while he rolled his eyes and started climbing up another tree to find another dragon fly.
" Sorry, I got wrapped up into the story... "
" It's not your fault... " Troy said showing he was understanding her reason why she was angry at her. " I don't blame you. I'd feel the same if she did it to my mother...Also what's with Chris? Benson you told me has beef with Emila, but that was it. "
" Out of all of us, Chris has the most resentment towards Emilia..." Wolf anwsered before hearing a whistle. She looked up to see Chris was on a nearby tree pointing in another direction and jumped into some thick branches.
" This way... " She motioned them to follow her and much to their luck they found more dragon flies on a branch holding her own handmade rope. " Well yeah Chris hates her more then the rest of us, cause she killed his dad! " She whispered.
" Seriously? "
" Yeah, and I made the bitch pancakes, and she didn't even touch 'em. " Benson whispered before Wolf shouted letting out her frustration. " And she killed Stalky! " Wolf shouted in frustration scarring off the dragon flies with Chris poking his head out the bushes holding out his arms in the way his way of saying. 'Really!?' Before he went to jump to another tree.
" Aw, man, that's the third time we've scared them away. " Benson groaned. " I can't help it! She makes me so angry! " Kipo cried out in frustration scaring off another nearby dragonfly.
" Whoa! " They looked over to see Chris falling down from a tree and landed in a bush. " Ow! " Everyone winced from that and flinched seeing how fast he popped right out with an angry look.
" Okay, I'm getting a bit pissed off with that! " The male hybrid exclaimed in frustration. " Are we gonna try to get a dragon fly or not!? This is getting us nowhere! "
" Chris is right... " Wolf spoke up calming herself down and put away her rope." Look, we're all angry, but we need to calm down if we're going to get the journal and resuce our friends. "
" Yeah, they could be cured any second. " Kipo said her tone showing she was worried. " We need something to keep us on track, on mission, on stealth! Oooh! Like a code word! "
" A code word? Okay. " Wolf began with a suggestion. " How about 'destroy the doctor'? " She brought out her rope.
" It's more a phrase and not very calming... " Kipo said trying to make her point but saw where she was getting from. " But, we're brainstorming here. We're groovin', we're rollin'. Hmm...How about 'Mandu?' "
" No, wouldn't work. " Chris said taking the last leaf out of his hair. " Why not? "
" Because that just makes us think about how she tried to kill Mandu. " Benson spoke up crossing his arms.
" Good point. " She gasps gaining an idea. " How about 'milkshake'? "
" Milkshake? " Both Wolf and Chris exclaimed in confusion never hearing that word in their lives. Then out of nowhere a dragonfly flew right by them and Kipo gained a look.
" Guy's, guy's. No one cant get mad when they think about a big frosty glass of delicous deliciousness. " She whispered and slowly started walking to the dragon fly with the others right behind her.
" Milkshake.. " She went up to the dragon fly getting on one knee and petted it. Afterwards it crawled down and got down on it's belly showing it would let her ride it. " See? " Everyone was now down for the codeword while Chris gave his girlfriend a round of applause for quickly earning the dragonflies trust.
After finding two more dragonflies the group were flying through the night sky. Kipo was flying with Wolf, Benson was flying with Troy while Chris was flying by himself.
" Huh...You know it's a been while since we've been flying. "
" Yeah it has been a while. " Kipo admitted as she looked around. " We should totally do this more often. "
" Guys can you keep focused? " Wolf asked snapping them out of it.
" Sorry. " They both said at once before Kipo gasped and her ears turned. " Chris you hear that? "
Confused by what she meant by that the silver teen changed his ears. " Yeah, that's music? " The further then went the sooner they got out of the clouds and saw a large floating vessel down belllow them.
" Oh! You think maybe she's on that giant cruise ship!? "
" No wonder it was so hard to find her! She's always moving! " Kipo exclaimed. " Very smart. Ugh, I hate complimenting her! Hopefully our friends- "
" And Boom-Boom! " Troy called out.
" And Boom-Boom are still okay. Come on. " As they were doing so they heard something that sounded like a whale and looked down to see a large shadow in the water.
" Mute alert. Engaging sonic emitter. Greta, hit the red button. Zane's log, day thirty-eight at sea. The water fills me with dread. No, the red red button! " More music is playing and over the anouncer Zane is heard groaning in annoyance. " Turn on the emitter! " The said device was soon turned on scaring the mega mute in the water away while up above both hybrids covered their ears while the dragonflies lost it and down they went.
But luckily for them they managed to land right next to the cruise ship. Wolf quickly used her hope to latch up and everyone started to climb and peak over the railing to see what was going on.
" Look how happy they are! " Kipo exclaimed upon seeing her people were having fun with no care in the world as if everything else was irrelevant. " I can't believe it. They're thrilled to be on this amazing cool boat. "
" My question is where in the hell did she even find this thing? " Chris whispered and then noticed something widening his eyes in realization. " Hey, wait a minute is that a waterslide!? "
" It is! " Benson confirmed. " Oh, that evil temptress knows what she is doing. "
Without loosing a grip they all lowered themselves down so they wouldn't be seen and Kipo groaned a bit. " How dare she make it fun! They'll never come with us! "
" I wouldn't blame them... " Chris commented.
" Milkshake. " Troy whispered. " We're not trying to get them to come with us today."
" Right. " She then closed her eyes and described their code word. " Double scoops filling the glass...Getting ready to add to add a frosty top. Oh, look, there's a cherry. Plop. Okay I'm good. "
" Okay, that settles it. Kipo next time we get, your introducing to me to a milkshake. " Chris said getting a smile from her before a sudden buzzing was heard coming from the loudspeaker. " What a great day we had, friends. And tomorrow is just a sleep away. Have a dreamful night. "
" I really want to throw up right now... " Chris said in disgust as he and the group raised up their heads. " I know her voice is like cold soup running down my back. " Wolf agreed.
" What does dreamful even mean? " Benson asked in confusion.
" Um, guys... " Troy spoke up getting their attention. " Could we maybe hide in there till everyone goes to sleep? " He said pointing over to the dinning hall. " Uh, my arms are really tired. "
" We won't need to wait... " Chris said as they spotted Greta walking off Quickly he looked around to make sure there was no one else around. " Let's go. "
" Do you think everyone is really asleep? " Kipo asked as they got on board. " Listen... " Wolf whispered and they stayed quiet and listened for anything that moved. " It's quiet now. The coast is clear. "
" Remember guys, what are we are here for? " The silver teen questioned.
" To find Emilia's lab and save our friends. Along with Boom-Boom. " After Kipo anwsered said this Chris turned his head over his shoulder and silently cursed.
" Guy's hide! " They all quickly dashed into the dinning hall and got underneath a table bringing a few chairs closer to them so they wouldn't get spotted. Pretty soon the doors slammed open and someone entered.
It was a girl around the age of 15 with bright blue eyes and long blonde hair that she often wears pulled back in a ponytail. She wears a pink jumpsuit and a light pink shirt underneath with a heart symbol.
Out of curiosity everyone watched her as she walked foward towards a wall?
" Sing to me wall siren! "
Chris raised an eyebrow glancing over to his girlfriend who shrugged her shoulder just as confused as he was and glanced up to a vent and soon they started to hear music?
" What is that? " Wolf asked.
" Sounds like..someone singing? " Chris said as they watched her continue to dance without a care in the world. " Huh, I gotta admit she actually dances pretty well. "
" I know, she's incredible. " Benson agreed.
" So do you two know who she is? " The male hybrid asked his girlfriend and her fellow burror resident in which Kipo anwsered.
" That's Doag. She was our friend in the Burrow. "
" Do you think she'll help us? " Benson asked. " Probably not, she's Hoag's daughter. " Troy said.
" The big guy we met at that burrow right? "
" Yeah, the same one. " Kipo confirmed as Benson said. " Hoag and Doag? For real? "
" My dad said Hoag was the first one to go with Emilia. And I can't see Doag going against her dad. " Troy explained and then 'crash!' She does the splits landing right next to them and kicks a chair in the process startling the the group.
She turned over to the group gasping in surprise. " Kipo? Troy? Kipo's friends that saved us from the mean monkey dude? And the tiger guy? "
" Hi...Doag. " Kipo greeted nervously.
" Like, what are you all doing here? " Seeing where this was gonna go Chris sighed turning to Kipo. " You do the talking this time. I don't care. "
A few minutes later...
" ...and after all that, you all still went with her. I'm not judging. I'm just saying she's tricky. "
" Tricky isn't the word I wouldn't but I guess that works too. " Chris commented shrugging his shoulders.
" I hear you, and I understand your feelings. But also I don't. " Doag said. " Emilia is nice! And she gave us a water slide. "
" She is not nice Doag! " Troy spoke up. " She's been looking for Kipo to kil her since she was a baby! And she's been hunting down Chris since he was a little kid, right after she killed his dad! And she didn't even eat Benson's pancakes! " He exhaled a bit calming himself down as Benson grabbed his hand. " That story is really infuriating. "
" Wow, you guys are, like, really passionate about this. "
" We are. " Kipo said.
" But Emilia controlling a mega monkey? Like, how, magic? "
" Magic? No! " Wolf said. " She used Scarlemagne's pheromone. "
" Yeah, but like, who told you this? "
" Well, Scarlamagne, but- "
" You mean the super angry monkey who destroyed our home twice and braintrapped us? " She asked.
" The only reason she was like that is because of Emilia. " Chris said before getting up. " And it's because of her your Burrow was destroyed. You can blame Kipo's mom all you want, but in reality it's all Emilia's. The only reason were here is because Emilia has our friends. "
" And Boom-Boom. " Benson spoke up.
" Were telling the truth. " Kipo took over the talking. " They're locked up somewhere on this boat. Maybe we can't change your mind about Mutes, but we can't let her hurt them. "
" I've danced my way all over this boat and I can tell you, there are no prisoners here. But- " Doag sighed and sprung back up to her feet. " I just need a moment to think. " She dances a little bit before looking to them.
" Okay, so I've really thought this through... " The group all looked hopeful for a good anwser but it wasn't. " I'm gonna get my dad. "
As she was about to do something Chris jumped out and tackled her to the floor covered her mouth muffling a scream his hands were already paws.
" Chris what are you doing!? " Kipo cried out not wanting any of what was transpiring to happen.
" Not now. " Chris replied back as he returned his attention to Doag. " Look, you seem like a really nice person that really enjoys dancing and is really good at it. But right now, I'm not in the mood for your crap, there are innocent Mutes being held prisoner here against there will. " He then sighed calming himself down. " Look, I'm sorry for what I just did, but I have my reasons. Now I'm going to take my paw off of your mouth and your not going to scream nor snitch on us deal? " She nodded giving him his anwser. " Do I have your word? " She nodded again and in turn so did he. " Alright. " He did just that and helped her up.
" Uh, Doag...What if you just show us where Emili'as lab is? " Benson questioned. " Then you can prove she has no prisoners. "
" Mm, deal. Follow me. " She sprung up dancing away and Kipo mimicked her movements. " I am not doing that. " Wolf said as she and Troy followed him and as they were going Benson started dancing as well earning a raised eyebrow form Chris.
" Really? "
" Yeah, what can you do? " In response Chris did a quick break dance spin on his back before standing up on his head. Seeing this Benson gave him a small round of applause showing he was impressed. " Where the heck did you learn to dance like that? "
" Alligators. " Chris anwsered as he got back on his feet as he and the others followed Doag who literally continued to dance leading the way to a door with a 'No Tresspass' sign on it.
They rushed over to her.
" Uh it's here? " Kipo asked pointing to the door in confusion. " That's it? "
" Not very well hidden. " Wolf noted.
" I told you she's got nothing to hide. " Doag said confidentally as she tried to open the door only for it rattle. She tried to open it some more but no luck. Seeing this Wolf crossed her arms.
" Then why is it locked? "
" Well, looks like were gonna have to break in. " Chris said as he raised up his arm only for Troy to stop him. " What? "
" No need for that. I got this. " He walked over to the door pulling out a booby pin and used one of the tips to pick the lock.
" How did you know how to do that? " Benson asked as Troy confidantly smirked twirling the pin over his fingers.
" Close-up magic. " He said closing his hand snagging the pin and when he opened it the pin was gone.
" Whoa...Of course...My boyfriend is so cool. " Benson said as he opened the door to let them inside.
When they got down the stairs they found their objective.
" Bingo! " Chris rushed down.
" Our friends! " Kipo followed.
" And Boom-Boom! " Wolf said spotting the humming bird and caught up. Both hybrids rushed up to Jamack.
" Huh! Burrow girl. " Jamack.
" You both really came. " Camile said with a smile. " The frogs been talking about you two none stop. " Jamack only laughed sheepishly rubbing the back of his head.
" Bet your glad you didn't turn us into Scarlemagne now huh? " Chris asked as he opened up Jamack's cell. " Yeah, yeah. I know... " The frog replied rolling his eyes.
" No prancing way! " Doag exclaimed in shock as she, Benson and Troy caught up to them. " She really does have prisoners. But, like, maybe they did something bad first? " Troy only put a hand on her shoulder and everyone looked over to Boom-Boom who was fratically flying around like crazy.
" What's wrong with her? " Chris asked.
" Boom-Boom's been through a lot... " Jamack anwsered. " Poked, prodded, Greta. "
Camile shuddered a bit. " Greta talks to usss, ssso much... "
All the sudden Doag gasped in shock. " A Dolphicorn! " They looked over to see she was glancing over to the encaged narwhal going over to his tank. " Who are you? "
He spun around and said his name. " Hyun-Suu~ "
Regonzing his voice she gasped growing more excited. " It's the Wall Siren! " He looked confused for a moment glancing at the human girl who looked extremly happy. " Your angelic voice finds me every night. I dance to your music. " Pretty soon he started singing and Doag started to dance some more.
" Huh...that's unexpected... " Chris commented before getting serious. " But we better get them out of here. Pronto. "
" You're right, she can't just lock people up like this! " Kipo said before she her arms turned and jumped up to holding cells opening the caps letting Camile and Jamack out before grabbing Hyung-Suu, passing him over to Doag who had help from Benson carrying him.
" You're right, I don't have to dance-think a second longer. " Doag said " Anyone that would cage up a musical dolphin unicorn can't be a good person. I'm gonna help you get them out of here. "
" Technically he's a Narwhal. " Chris said as he rushed over to Boom-Boom's cell while Kipo was happy and hugged Doag. " Aw, we changed someone's mind! Bonus! " Nearby Wolf spotted another one of their objectives and grabbed it while spilling out a few needle's.
" The journal! "
" Great! Now, let's get out of here. We have all our friends. " Benson said.
" Way ahead of you. " Chris said said as he let Boom-Boom out she flew out and grabbed her satch full of explosive nector. But then upon noticing the needles she was starting to freak out and grabbed one of the bombs. Seeing this everyone knew what was gonna happen.
" Scramble! " Chris cried out rushing past Kipo who grabbed Wolf and in the process she dropped the journal on the floor managing to go up the stairs just as the crazy humming bird threw down the bomb.
Outside everyone rushed out, the two hybrids and young survivor hit the deck while an explosion erupted from the lab triggering the alarm while Boom-Boom flew off.
" Well so much for stealth... " Kipo said as another explosion occured.
" The Journal! " Wolf realized the mistake she made and her face grew heavy with regret. " I'm so sorry about dropping it... "
" At least it's destroyed. " Kipo said. " Now Emilia can't use to make the cure. "
" Someone help me push my new best friend into a mini boat! " Doag said trying to push Hyun-Soo overboard but do to his wieght she was having a hard time doing so.
" Doag... " She turned to Chris. " He's be fine drop him in the water. "
" Oh, okay. " He helped her drop him down. Once in there she Jamack and Camile hopped in. As they were doing so, the group turned over to see Kipo was just standing there like she was in a trance.
" Kipo, come on! " Benson called out but she wouldn't move from her spot as as something within her was starting to spark. " She can't get away with this! "
" We finished the mission. Let's go. " Wolf said.
" No! "
" Dude, milkshake! " Benson wa shocked to hear her response.
" I don't care about going off mission. " Kipo said firmly. " There no milkeshake frosty enough to cool my rage. "
She said before jumping up on the railing. " Doag, ge them out of here! " With that said she sliced off the ropes and Chris pushed Kipo up against a nearby wall.
" Kipo, this isn't what were supposed to be doing! "
" Chris she has to pay for what she's done! "
" And she will, but not now! " He replied back just as eveyrone heard the speaker turn on.
Hearing this everyone looked up to the emitter. " Emitter engaging! " Zane said over the speaker turning on the device and much to both Hybrid's annoyances. And so they both sprung up into the air and smashed the emitter landing back on the deck. Just in time to, to see Emilia, Greta and Zane look up to see the damage caused. She grew more enraged to see her 'test subject's' escaping in the distance.
Both Greta and Zane charged forward and as either hybrid was gonna attack Wolf jumped above them and whipped her rope in between them catching them both off guard. In doing so she kicked them both down and reeled back her rope sighing in content spinning her weapon around. " Feels good. " Then jsut as things were gonna esculate all of Kipo's people came out to see what the commotion was all about. Being the sly snake she was Emilia used this to her advantage and put up an act.
" Kipo, why are you attack us? "
" Because you kidnapped my friends! " The female hybrid replied back.
" What friends? "
" Don't play dumb. " Chris spat back. " The same prisoners you were keeping on this ship, in the same lab that was just blown up. " The sonic emitter fell down landing right next to them.
Afterwards Hoag spoke up. " Where's Daog? What have you adolescent vandals done with my sweet princess!? "
" I know how this must look... " Kipo said as she and Chris made their paws return to normal human arms. " But I need you to listen to me. Emilia is not who she says she is. "
" Yeah! She's evil! " Wolf added and the rest of the group came to join them like Troy. " She sent the mega monkey to destroy our home! "
" And the monkey also happens to be Kipo's mom! " Benson added in. " She took over her mind and to find and kill her daughter. How messed up is that? " While he did get reactions from the people Emilia wasn't fazed at all.
" And she killed my best friend! " This surprised a lot of people and this got confused looks from the others. Chris put a hand on her shoulder and mouthed 'Stalky' they quickly understood now.
Kipo then glances over to a man and a woman. In the crowd. " Lily? Earl? You believe me don't you? " Both husband and wife exchanged a look and the wife placed a hand on his which was over her shoulder.
" I'm sorry, Kipo, but this sounds crazy. " Earl said before she looked over to another man. " Uh, Mr. Filburn, you know. I-I wouldn't lie to you. "
" The Kipo I knew wouldn't. " He said. " What did they do to you? " hearing the anwsers and reactions alone was more then enough to slowly make her cry. Because this was hard, these were people she knew her whole life down at the Burrow she grew up in. And not having them beleive what she was trying to tell them, it was undescribeable.
Seizing her moment Emilia smirked crossing her arms. " I think your all confused. You've spent too much time with mutes. They've manipulated you. " As she continued talking from behind Hoag began to sneak up from behind them. " Why don't you stay with us? We can help you. " He drew out a syringe and Chris's right ear twitched. " We can fix whatever they did to your minds. " She said with a smirk and then Hoag went for the moment trying to get to Kipo.
But he didn't get the chance, cause Christ turning around and grabbed Hoag's arm much to the large mans surprise. A look of shock was plastered on his face and little bit of fear because of the hard glare the silver teen was giving him. His eyes were now feline and the predatory growl he was giving off was installing fear into him.
" Don't you dare do that again... " the male hybrid said. " Drop it! " Hoag did as he was told and Chris in turn let go of him and stomped on the syernge. " Next time, if you hurt her, you'll be sorry. Now get back... " He said letting him go and gave him a shove before turning back to Emilia.
" So this is your way of helping us? Huh? You try to take us against our will with a cheap sneak attack like a coward would? Is that it? "
" We only want what's best for you, that's all. "
" Uh-huh...right...Let me tell you all something! " Chris cried out grabbing their attention. " The Mutes are just like you, they have lives, they have families just you do.
" Why should we believe you!? " Hoag questioned. " Your one of them! "
Chris looked over to him. " So what? You think I'm gonna appologize for this? " Chris said motioning to his paw before it reverted back to normal. " No! Do I owe you an apology for being what I am!? No! I was born this way, as was Kipo. You think the solution to correct everything is to make any mistake is that it? "
" You were both never meant to have this bourden on your shoulders... " Emilia said still going into character. " I'm just trying to help you.
" Shut up! " Chris snapped at her for a brief moment his face morphed slightly into a tiger. " I have...the floor... " He said firmly with his face slowly returning back to normal and continued to speak. " The Mute's don't want war! But they will fight if they must, as will we. I'm only going to ask this question only once and I want all of you to think long and hard, and be honest with yourselves, nor doubt what you feel. Do you want to wage war? Do you really want to? " He asked pausing for a moment to let it sink in.
" Because war will solve nothing. Look where it got us! " He said motioning outwards to the area around him. " Were paying the price of others long-gone, for their arrogance, greed and blind ambition. The very world that used to be what it was, is gone and this what it is now. A place where humanity is so scarred, that they're afraid to live up on the surface as they've done for thousands of years! It's not the Mutes fault for being what they are, and how they act. So why do we want to return them back into normal animals, to take away what they are, just so we have an excuse to take back our way of life? If any of you haven't noticed, were still here, and were still alive, but everything that humanity's ever known will have to change. If we don't then what the hell's the whole point of learnign from our mistakes? "
Hearing what he said actually got a few of Kipo's people to whisper among themselves. This showed his words were having an effect and Emilia was displeased greatly but couldn't break her act, she couldn't afford to.
" I'm offering this, if any one of you, anyone. Who doesn't want to go through with what she wants you to do. Those that are having doubts, about what's right and what's wrong, then come with us, the choice is yours. Don't help repeat the same mistake we keep repeating. And you! " He points over to Emilia.
" If you ever think about kidnapping Mutes to experiment on them, you'll be sorry. " He turns his attention to the same couple Kipo was talking with earlier.
" Before we go, Lily and Earl was it? By any chance are you both Asher and Dahlia's parents? "
Upon hearing their kids names the couple grew anxious. " You know where our daughters are? " Lily asked in shock hearing those names her husband sharing the same look of surprise on his face. " Where are they? "
" Don't worry they're safe. Right after Scarlemagne bombed your new Burrow he didn't get them or Troy. They've been living with us at the Timber Cat village. Where he's serving his time. Just like those who commited crimes in the past did as well. "
" Don't listen to him! That's exactly what he wants! " Emilia said to the two and hearing this Chris stepped forward pushing her asid keeping his eyes locked onto them. " Look me in the eyes, and tell me, am I lying to you? I have no reason, I have nothing to gain. I'm only trying to do something right ands that's bringing a family back togehter. "
Both husband and wife exchanged a breif look with one another before Earl spoke up. " You promise? "
" Yes..." The silver teen nodded his head. " You have my word. They've been missing you both...please I know your confused, I know your scared but trust me. I know the feeling of missing your family. "
" Alright... " Lily gave him his anwser. " We'll go with you. "
" Are you insane!? " Hoag asked in disbelief. " Why would you believe thi-this thing!? "
" This 'thing' has name! " The said 'thing' snapped back. " Chris Fang and I'm not some mindless monster like you think I am! " He grabs Kipo's hand. " I'm just like you, I have someone to love, and I have others that I want to protect. Tell me, can monsters do that!? What reason do I have to lie? To gain something out of this? No, I'm doing this because it's the right thing to do. I'm not forcing them to do anything agaisnt their will. " Gently he takes both their hands. " Don't worry, you'll see your daugthers. " He lets go and glances over to Kipo and nodded motioned the others to follow her. In doing so Lily and Earl follwed them and jumped off as Kipo turned Mega.
" Anyone else wish to come with us? " He asked glancing around him and got no response. " Alright. Hopefully, the next time we meet, it won't be something that makes any of us give regrets. "
As he got up to the railing, Chris turned over and motioned two of his right fingers to his eyes and redirected them back at Emilia as a way of saying 'this was from over'. After that he jumped transforming and swam away. Both Mega Tiger and Jaguar made their way to the shoreline all while she was fumming with anger.
At the shore line the group had arrived at Brunchington Beach. When they did, it turned out Hyun-Suu's friends were all there waiting for him. Their group was reunited and now see Doag tying a rope around the lead Narwhal's tusk.
" Are you sure you don't want to come with us? " Kipo asked.
" I have to get back to the boat. I can't just leave my dad. " Doag anwsered.
" We kinda made a mess back there. "
" A big one. " Chris added. " Sorry bout' that. "
" Well, luckily for you, you totally have a freind on the inside, now. " Doag declared. " I will be the voice for the unicorn of the sea, and for all other majestic creatures I haven't gotten to dance with yet. "
" Now that I can believe. " Chris commented with a smile. " Take care . "
" Thank you for everything Doag. " In return Doag gave her a two fingered salute and leaned down to her newest friend. " One more for the road? " Hyun-Suu was more then happy to oblidge and started pulling onto her boat while the rest of the Narhartz joined all while Doag danced away and would most likely do so till she found the cruise ship.
" I'm sorry, we couldn't convicne all of the people to come with us. " Benson appologized. " But, hey, we did it. "
" Yeah, we destroyed the hournal so she can't 'cure' anybody. And we rescused these two. " Wolf said gesturing to the snake and frog.
Camile slithered over to them. " That was punk rock back there, guys. For a hot minute, I thought I'd never play guitar again. "
Kipo chuckled a bit happy to receive the compliment. " Couldn't let that happen. " She gasped in realization. " She called us, 'punk rock.' " Then Jamack came up to them.
" I knew you'd come for me! " The frog happily said. " You guys are the best! "
" You better remember that... " Chris exclaimed with a smirk before turning over to Earl and Lily. " Anyways, a deals a deal. C'mon guys let's go home. "
Back at the cruise ship after calming everyone down and reassured them that everything was back under control Emilia got Kipo's people under control and were now resting for the night. She was beyond pissed, not only had her test subjects been taken, her chance to make the people believe those two abominations were the enemy failed, two people left them.
And to top it all off, the sonic emitter was destroyed. There one advantage against the Mutes, was history, it'd be impossible now to repair it. It'd take to long to find all the right components considering now that the enemy knew
" Dr. Emilia! " Zane and Greta came up to her. " Everything in the lab is ashes! " He informed.
" How are we gonna science away those mutes if this is all that's left of your science book? " Greta asked holding up the charred journal. Seeing the only thing that coudl've helped her reduced to rubble her anger increased dramatically and snatched it out of Greta's hand. " Now we'll never know what X mean
Emilia starred down at the charred book humming a bit for a moment before gasping. The realization had just dawned on her. " Wait. Kipo is X! " She walks over to the sonic emitter and kneeled down spotting a small patch of purple fur. She smirked, all of her anger instantly vanished by what she had found.
" I know what to do. " She said giving off an evil wicked laugh before spotting something else. It was a small patch of silver fur which brightened up her day even more. " Oh yes, I do. "
To be continued
Yeah, yeah I know I skipped the other half of the episode that involved Dave's fun time with Leo, but honestly I just didn't care about it that much. And focused on the primary main part. And you all didn't expect what was coming did ya?
Compared to what went, on everything took a 'different turn'. Literally. Especially now since the bitch wouldn't have the satisfaction of that moment.
Anyways, again sorry for not updating so much. I'll try, but again whatever happens gotta deal with it.
Thanks a lot guys.
Oh yeah, and that reminds me,Here's two more hints, for the other possible story that can come out.
It's an anime and one of it's themes is slice of life.

avengersendgame426
Eh, when you gotta deal with things, you gotta do it that's all I can say. And yeah him being part of the forming of HMUFA is a big change to the story and in the next chapter we'll be seeing him and Lio's bond deepen even further, while also adressing that one thing that's bothering Chris, and just how much that ambition he has planned
