7. Chapter 7

Hello everyone, sorry for the wait, there was a lot to do in this chapter. Now in this chapter we'll have Javin's origins and it is not a happy one, just a heads up. But before we start, I would like to remind you that Aqua was called Dawn in the past. Now onto adventure 6.

Adventure 6

Ratland And Past Scares

A Large Mall

In a fancy run down mall, with Dark Purple Light Crystals, apes and monkeys wearing red and blue 18 century outfits and powdered wigs were standing around a group of humans. The humans were wearing the same thing, but had the addition of a carnival mask.

And a very large male mandrill with the characteristically-multicolor facial features, a few scars on his face, yellow eyes, is hair, wearing knee-breeches, a red frock coat, a blue ribbon around his collar, playing the piano in the room.

Next to the mandrill was a wired clown thing, with white glove like hands that ended in the point, white legs that had a blue ball on the right leg and a purple ball on the left leg, a think yellow body with a large hip, blue and purple stripes on the yellow body, two white balls on its body, one on its body the other on it's chest, a very large white fabric circle on top of its body, a hole in the middle of the fabric and what should be it's head, a large white ball with purple and blue dots on it, and two symbols of explosions.

The mandrill laughed, as he played the piano, and as the clown thing started to shoot out more of the white balls that were like the one on its head from the hole in it, and juggled all of them.

"Allegro! Allegro, my lords and ladies! Faster!" The mandrill said to the humans, as some of the apes and monkeys started to vocalize. While all this was going on, the mandrill whipped some sweat, and put it into a perfume bottle. "Dance Faster! Jester, give them some motivation." the mandrill said to the humans, then the clown thing. "Blacephalon." The clown thing said, before tossing some of it's white balls into the air above the humans. There the white balls exploded, like they were fireworks.

This made the mandrill laugh even harder. "What's that you say? Even faster? Even more explosions? OK! Play faster! More explosions!" The mandrill said, as he played faster, and as Jester threw more white balls into the air. Then a squawking in the air got their attention. The mandrill snapped his fingers, and the humans stopped dancing, the apes and monkeys stopped vocalizing, and Jester stopped throwing white balls and placed all but one of them back into it hole at the top of its body.

That's when a flamingo, with Javin, wearing his clock, but his hood was down, and Maira riding it, and Grey and White Billions in the flamingo's two mouths, with their heads baged. "I see you having fun boss. Sorry to interrupt it. But we have a problem." Javin said to the mandrill, as he and Maira got off the flamingo, and took the bags off Grey and White Billions.

Grey and White Billions looked around to see the tired and a little burned humans, then the mandill and Jester by the piano. "Indeed. We have party crashers. How rude." The mandrill said to Javin, as he turned around to face everyone. "Oh, the two eggheads. Have you found my new army yet?" The mandrill asked Grey and White Billions.

"Huh... Scarlemagne's palace, in the real. I love what you've done with it." White Billions said to the mandrill, as Grey billions sinified around. "Smells like weird perfume in here." Grey Billions said ot White Billions. "Oh, that?" The mandrill said to Grey Billions, as he snapped his fingers, making the humans form four lines between the mandrill and Grey and White Billions, facing the mandrill, and Grey and White Billions.

"It's a natural fragrance. Made it myself. Littelry, from my own pheromones." the mandril said to Grey Billions, as he and Jester walked closer to them. Then a male human fell to his knees. "Looks like that one needs another whiff, Scarlemagne." Javin said to the mandrill. "Looks like you're right, Javin." Scarlemagne said to Javin. "But don't worry, it won't work on your caines. Just primates." Scalermagne said to Grey and White Billions, as he gave the human male, nother spray of his perfume bottle, and the human male stood up.

"But I only use it on a certain class of primate." Scarlemagne said, as he took off the human male's carnival mask, revealing a force creepy smile. "The lesser ones. Even a monkey has his standards." Scarlemagne said to everyone, as he touched the human male's face. "I renamed him Francis. He just learned the can-can. Show them, darling." Scarlemagne said to everyone.

Then the human male started to dance while doing the can-can dance, making Scarlemagne and Jester giggle. "Never gets old." Scarlemagne said to everyone. "As much fun as it is watching the can-can, sir. The Billions have something to say to you." Javin said to Scarlemagne. "Right. Now, why did my best mute bring you two here?" Scarlemagne asked Grey and White Billions.

"Come on, man. We did rock-paper-scissors. You tell him why." Grey Billions said to White Billions. "Um, so, uh, you remember that telescope that we used to have?" White Billions said to Scarlemagne. "Javin, what is he talking about?" Scarlemagne asked Javin. "The Newton Wolves lost their telescope. It's completely trash." Javin said to Scarlemagne. This made Scarlemagne mad. "Javin, get the flamingos ready." Scarlemagne said to Javin. Javin nodded and left with Maira.

A few minutes later Javin and Maira, with a few others, some monkeys, some apes, and some humans, came into the main room. "So what's the plan?" Javin asked Scarlemagne. "The plan." Scarlemagne said, before slamming his fist into the piano, breaking off a key of it, startling some of the flamingos.

"I've lost my eyes to the city! So, I need new eyes! Eyes to find the humans who escaped from that burrow! If there's a human out there, I want it dancing for me by dawn." Scarlemagne said to everyone, before laughing hysterically. "Overly dramatic as always, but I love a good human hunt. LET'S GO!" Javin said to Scarlemagne, before he and everyone riding flamingos took off.

Las Vasta

Meanwhile, the gang found the billboard with the numbers on it, and started to climb to it, with Kipo in front, Kalena behind her, Aqua behind her, Benson carrying Dave behind her, Wolf with Mandu holding onto Wolf's clock and stick with her mouth behind them, and the Pokemon standing guard at the base of the billboard. "Three-point-two-six-two. If your father was gonna leave a message, couldn't it have been something more simple?" Benson asked Kipo, as they reached the top of the billboard.

Then anybody could follow it. No, this is perfect. It's big enough so he knew I would see it, but only I would know it was a message. Except, I have no clue what the message is." Kipo said to everyone. "And that's a problem." Aqua said to Kipo. "But it must mean something to you, Kipo. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here." Wolf said to Kipo. "In lightyears, 3.262 is the length of a parsec." Kipo said, walking in a circle.

"A what-sec?" Wolf asked Kipo. "Parsec. It's an astronomical unit. Dad's a bit of a science nerd." Kipo said to Wolf. "Yeah, we're aware." Dave said to Kipo. "It also happens to be my birthday. March 26, at 2:00 am. That's why it was Dad's favorite number. And guess what day today is, Mandu?" Kipo said to everyone and asked Mandu, as she looked at the city. Mandu squealed in response.

"Laundry day!" Dave said to Kipo. "No Dave. Think of the date." Aqua said to Dave. "Whoa… Kipo, is today your b-day?" Benson asked Kipo. "If you mean, did my Dad and I decorate this date in the calendar back home with balloon stickers? Yes!" Kipo said to Benson. "Kipo's first birthday topside. Don't know why, but it sounds big." Dave said to everyone. "We should go out! For a city where nothing's open ever, there's surprisingly a lot to do here." Benson said to Kipo. "Besides, running for our lives." Aqua said to Kipo.

"Ugh, I can't celebrate until we figure out this clue." Kipo said to everyone, as she sat down. "Well what would your father say to you?" Kalena asked Kipo, leaning on the railing. Kipo said to Kalena. "He would say. Kipo, the answer is in front of you. Apply yourself." Kipo said in a deep voice. "I'm trying, Dad. You know you made this really difficult to solve." Kipo said. "Because challenges build character." Kipo said in a deep voice. "I don't need any more character. I just need to find you!" Kipo said, before goraning.

"Uh, did she just have a whole conversation with herself?" Benson asked everyone. "Yes." Aqua said to Benson, as Wolf started to tear apart the number on the billboard, getting everyone's attention. "Why would you do that?" Aqua asked Wolf. "Now we're the only ones who know about this clue, and only we can follow it. You're welcome." Wolf said to Aqua.

"There's a word I'm looking for. Uh, what is it?" Dave said to Wolf. "Crazy? Paranoid-?" Aqua said, but Dave interrupted her. "I was going with overkill." Dave said to Aqua. "I would have gotten there sooner or later." Aqua said to Dave, as Kipo and Kalena looked at the destroyed clue. "Parsec. Parsec, parsec." Kipo said, as he started to think.

Kipo spent the whole day thinking about it, and doing math on the billboard, and everyone was getting bored. "Just one is nineteen trillion miles. Ugh, maybe that's how far away my people are." Kipo said. "I doubt that's it." Kalena said to Kipo, as she laid down and looked at the sky. "Ugh, Kipo, you've been at it for hours." Benson said to Kipo, getting Kipo's attention, and making her see Dave, Benson and Aqua, listing against the railing behind her. "Hours? She's been at this all day!" Aqua said to Benson.

"Look, sometimes Dave and I do old crosswords. And when we get stuck, we put it down and we go away for a little while." Benson said to Kipo. "Yeah, and then the answer presents itself." Dave said to Kipo, before falling asleep. "So, maybe we pause the clue-cracking. How old are you turning?" Benson asked Kipo.

"Thirteen." Kipo said to Benson, as she looked at the billboard again. "That's a big deal! We have to celebrate! I'm sure your dad, wherever he is, would want you to take some time to have fun today." Benson said to Kipo. "I do love birthdays. Even if it makes my dad sad." Kipo said to Benson, looking at Benson. "What?" Aqua asked Kipo. "My dad always made my birthdays great, but I could hear him cry at night. I even saw him cry, while he was looking at lit candles, all alone in the dark. I tried asking about it the next day, but he said I must have dreamed it up." Kipo said to everyone.

"Hmm." Aqua said, wondering what that was about. "So when's your birthday Wolf and Kalena?" Kipo asked Wolf and Kalena, "I don't know." The two of them said at the same time. "What do you mean you don't know? Everyone knows their birthday." Kipo said to them. "Not everyone." Wolf said to Kipo. "The wolves or Kommo-os who raised you two never once threw you two a party… Kipo asked them, but Wolf gave her a mean look.

"Oh… right. You don't talk about them." Kipo said to Wolf. "As for me. Birthday parties aren't really a thing for Pokemon. I mean sure, there's times where we like to have fun and mess around every now and again. But for Pokemon like Kommo-os, it's the evolution stages that matter, not age. So for the Kommo-os, as long as you are a Jangmo-o or a Hakamo-o, you're still a kid no matter how old you are." Kalena said to Kipo.

"So you don't know how old you are?" Kipo asked Kalena. "Not exactly, I know I'm at most 13 this year, cause that's how long I've lived with the Kommo-os, and they found me as a baby. I just don't know the exact date." Kalena said to Kipo.

"So that means Benson is the old one here, with him being 16, me going to be 15 in a few months, the K's being 13, and I'm guessing Wolf is a few years younger then the K's." Aqua said to everyone. "Hey, what about me?" Dave asked Aqua. "Dave I was counting humans, plus I don't know how age will work with someone who barely lives a single week without dying and turning back into a baby." Aqua said to Dave.

Then Kipo gasped. "I have an idea." Kipo said. "What?" Kalena asked Kipo. "You, me, and Wolf, we're going to be birthday sisters today. I'm going to celebrate my first surface birthday, Kalena will celebrate her first birthday in this world, and Wolf, you're going to celebrate your first birthday!" Kipo said to everyone. "This is a great idea!" Benson said to Kipo, as everyone got up. "But first, you have to get each other presents." Benson said to Kipo, taking her away. "And me and Benson now have the perfect gift for you two." Aqua said to Kalena, as she took Kalena away, and went after Benson and Kipo.

"Wait, Presents?" Wolf asked everyone. "Of course. They're the best part of birthdays! Meet back here when you find something. By the way, I like things that are purple. And board games! Good luck!" Kipo said to Wolf, before she, Kalena, and Benson, went down the ladder to the ground. "Take Dave and Mandu with you." Aqua said to Wolf, before she went down the ladder. "I get stuck with the two mutes? Great." Wolf said, looking at Dave and Mandu with an annoyed look on her face.

Las Vasta Street

Benson and Aqua lead Kipo, Kalena, and their Pokemon to a pharmacy. And while looking around, Kipo felt nervous. "Somewhere in here, we'll find Wolf and Kalena the perfect gift." Kipo said to everyone. "You know I'm standing over here right?" Kalena asked Kipo. "Oh right." Kipo said to Kalena. "RIght. Like they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure. And, uh, we found ourselves a real treasure heap." Benson said to Kipo. "I don't think that applies to empty chip bags." Aqua said, as she held a chip bag in her hands, before crumpling it up, and throwing it away.

"Everyone, can you be honest, do you think they'll be OK out there? My people. Because everywhere you go, something's trying to capture you, eat you, step on you…" Kipo said to everyone, as she looked around, but then she gasped. Everyone moved to Kipo to see an old painting of a human family, but had red X on them, with Human Scum written above them. "Or worse." Kipo said.

"Sometimes you see stuff like that around. It's best to ignore it." Benson said to Kipo. "You make it sound easy." Kalena said to Benson. "How about some tunes?" Benson asked everyone, as he played some music, trying to lighten the mood. And it did for Kipo, and as she started to look around.

Then Kipo noticed something by her feet. "Huh. guys, look!" Kipo said to everyone, as she squatted down. "Wow, that's a treasure, all right." Benson said to Kipo, as everyone squatted down with her. "It is. It's the perfect gift for Wolf." Kipo said, as she picked it up.

After that everyone left the pharmacy. "Okay so we got Wolf's gift, a little sooner than expected. Where to now?" Kipo asked everyone. "There's something me and Aqua want to show you. It's our present for you and Kalena. Here." Benson said to them, as he pulled out a can of spray cheese. "Canned cheese? Made with 12 percent real cheese. What's the rest of it made of? Know what? Doesn't matter. I love it!" Kipo said to Benson, smiling. "Please tell me your gift is something other than questionable food?" Kalena asked Benson, with a frown, on his face.

Benson laughed at them. "Aw, look at your faces. No, that… that's not it. The real gift is way better. Come on." Benson said, as he started to walk away. "Yeah, it's time you see something amazing." Aqua said to Kipo and Kalena, before they all started to follow Benson.

Meanwhile, Wolf, Star, Mandu, and Dave were walking around the city, with Dave being the only one looking for a gift for Kipo and Kalena. "Ah-ha! Yes! Look what I found!" Dave said to Wolf, showing her a hubcap. "Boom! Nailed it. Could be a hat, could be a frisbee, could be a scale. Kipo loves fashion, hat! Kipo loves fun, frisbee! And Kalena wears scales, scale." Dave said to Wolf. "Frisbee?" Wolf asked Dave. "Yeah, check it out!" Dave said to Wolf, throwing it, and breaking a glass window of a store that had neon letters that spelled parsec on the front.

The sound of the broken glass put Wolf on edge, and looked around. "Next time you ring the dinner bell, we are done, mute! From now on, this, this right here, is a mute-free zone." Wolf said to Dave, as she drew a circle on the ground around her. Then Mandu and Star joined Wolf in the circle. "Oh, yeah? Well, this is a Wolf-free zone. No Wolfs allowed over here." Dave said to Wolf, as he tried to draw a circle. But Dave tripped before he could even do a quarter of the circle.

"I can live with that." Wolf said to Dave, before walking away. Dave then got up. "What kind of a gift we looking for, anyway?" Dave asked Wolf. "I'll know it when I see it." Wolf said to Dave. "Oh, going with your gut. I like that. That's how I roll, too." Dave said to Wolf.

Back with Benson, the girls, and their Pokemon were walking down an alleyway. "So where are we going?" Kalena asked Benson. "Hey, trust me. This is gonna be cool." Benson said to Kalena.

Soon they found themselves in an open space, with some hate human graffiti on one of the nearby walls. "Oh, wow. It's so festive." Kipo said. "Sometimes, on the surface, there's more than what you see on the surface." Benson said to Kipo, taking her hands. Benson then let go of Kipo, and shook the canned cheese. Benson spread a little of it onto the ground. But nothing happened. "Is that it?" Kalena asked. "Give it a second." Aqua said to Kalena. "Yeah, it should be here any second." Benson said to Kalena. This made Kalena and Kipo look at each other.

Then a large, rusty old van came up, with a small flatbed trailer attached to it, and stopped, right by the cheese. The door opened and a finger swiped up some of the cheese. Then the side door opened. "Your chariot awaits, birthday girls." Benson said to Kipo and Kalena. Kipo was neverious to enter, but they all got in. "You all have to ride that trailer." Aqua said to the Pokemon, before closing the door. The Pokemon look at each other for a second, before hopping onto the trailer.

Once everyone was on, and boculed up, the van started to move. Kipo was neverius about this, and Kalena was on edge, but Benson and Aqua were relaxed. Then they noticed a rat bigger than them, with black and white fera, wearing a green vest and baseball hat. "So, my friends Benson and Aqua won't tell me and my other friend Kalena because it's supposed to be a surprise, but where are you taking us?" Kipo asked the rat. But then the rat made a sharp turn, making Kipo slam into the side of the van.

Then Kipo and Kalena realized they were heading for down a wall to an ally straight for a dead end. "Ah, wall. Wall!" Kipo said, as she and Kalena got ready for the van to crash. But Benson and Aqua weren't worried. Then the rat driving honked the horn and the wall opened. Then the van stopped. "Bonjour, y'all. And je m'appelle Amy. that's French for "My name is Amy!" The rat said to everyone, with a female voice. "Hola and bienvenidos abordo! I'm Brad." Another rat said, poking it;s head out from behind the radio, with a male voice. This male rat had the same outfit as the female rat, but his fear was all black.

Then the rats got out of the vane. "Welcome to Ratland." Amy said to everyone, as they took off their hats, and showed off an old amusement park that was fixed up, and had Yellow Light Crystals scattered on the ground, they could even see a large group of Xurkitree living and powering the place up. Then fireworks were shot up into the sky.

"See? I told you it would be good!" Benson said to Kipo and Kalena. "Not this good." Kipo said to Benson. "Yeah, giving everything else we saw in the city. You never knew a jewel like this existed." Kalena said to everyone. "I know. I remember when Benson brought me here for the first time." Aqua said to everyone.

The Past

After meeting Dave and Benson, they lead her to the clothes store, where she switched into her current outfit, and even used a sharp piece of glass to cut her hair. "Well thank you for your help. But I'd better be going." Aqua said to Benson before she started to leave. "What, why?" Benson asked Aqua. "I have something I gotta do, pulse. I don't know how any good can come from traveling with a mute." Aqua said to Benson.

"But isn't Cloak a mute?" Benson asked Aqua. "I don't know. If she is. It's one I've never seen." Aqua said to Benson. "Anyway, why do you hate mutes?" Benson asked Aqua. "I don't hate mutes. I just have bad luck with them, they cause pain to me, or I cause them pain. Besides, it's not like any good mutes out there." Aqua said to Benson, as she started to take a few steps to the exit. "Actually you're wrong about that." Benson said to Aqua, making her stop. "What?" Aqua asked Benson. "Come with me." Benson said to Aqua, leaving the store with Dave. Aqua followed Benson with a curious look on her face.

After a bit, Benson led Aqua to the spot, and sprayed the can cheese onto the ground. That's when Amy and Brad drove up. "Rats!" Aqua said surprised to see them. "Relax, they're okay." Benson said to Aqua, before hopping into the vav. Aqua, hensenetly entered the van, with Cloak following them in, and making it awkward in the van, with Cloak's tentacle.

After a bit they entered Ratland, giving Aqua a bit of a heart attack. Aqua took in the sights with an amazy look on her face. "I've never seen anything like this." Aqua said to Benson. "There's more. Come on." Benson said to Aqua, leading her deeper into Ratland, with Cloak holding Dave. There Benson took her on some rides. Then Aqua and Benson ran into a group of teenage, multi-species, mutes, this put Aqua on edge, but the mutes invited her and Benson to join in playing games.

They played for hours, but then a group of Xurkitree started to move into Ratland. This caused a panic in Ratland. And while running a Xurkitree got in their way. Then Cloak gave Dave to Benson and moved to protect them. Cloak spray orange acid at the Xurkitree. This made the Xurkitree run away. "That was some kind of acid. You can shoot out acid?" Aqua asked Cloak. "Nihilego." Cloak said, sounding like a yes.

Then they got back to running. While running, Aqua notices the Xurkitrees tearing the place apart, looking for something. Then she noticed a few of them staring to dime. "Wait a minute." Aqua said, before moving to a generator. Aqua then got it working, and this got the attention of the Xurkitrees, and the Xurkitrees all moved to the generator and started to absorb the elasticity from it.

"That's it. You're all hungry. Aren't you?" Aqua said to Xurkitree, petting a few of them. Then the Xurkitree started to nuzzle Aqua, making her feel fuzzy from all the electricity in them, but Aqua just laughed at this. "It seems you understand the reason Ratland exists. For us all to live in peace, even if we were scared at first." A female voice said to Aqua.

This got everyone's attention, and they saw a large rat that was wearing the same outfit as Amy and Brad, but had the addition of a pin, with a small Yellow Light Crystal in it and the words Manager on it, and her fur was all white, and looking older than Amy and Brad. "Manager Mia." Amy said to the rat. "Hello my name is Mia, I'm the leader here. What's your name?" Mia asked Aqua. "Da- Aqua. I'm Aqua." Aqua said to Mia, as Mia got a closer look at her.

"You look familiar, do I know you?" Mia asked Aqua. "No. I've never been before." Aqua said to Mia, as Mia got a closer look. "I know I've seen you before. I just can't remember? In any case, thank you for your help." Mia said to Aqua. "No problem. But what are you going to do with them?" Aqua asked Mia. "We'll find something for them to do, after all if they need electricity to survive, I see no harm in letting them stay and if they help out that's a bonus. Until next time." Mia said to Aqua, before walking away.

"Man Aqua, that was so cool. How did you know they were hungry? And they need electricity?" Benson asked Aqua. "I noticed they were looking for something, their bodies looked like wires, their lights were fading like they were out of power, and this place is one of the few places I've seen with electricity. It just kinda clicked." Aqua said to Benson.

"You're a smart one. You know Dave and I could use someone like you." Benson said to Aqua. "I'm not sure. I have something else to take care of." Aqua said to Benson. "I'm sure Dave and I can help." Benson said to Aqua. "You won't stop until I say yes will you?" Aqua asked Benson. "Yeap." Benson said to Aqua. "Very well. It might be nice to have a friend for once in my life." Aqua said to Benson.

"Great, let's celebrate with some music." Benson said to Aqua, as he pulled out his tab recorder, and started to play music on it, making Aqua smile and shake her head. This got the attention of one of the Xurkitree, and made it come over to them, and started to dance. "Looks like someone likes your music." Aqua said to Benson.

"I can see that, and I can see he's got some groove in him. In fact that's what I'll call him Groove." Benson said to Aqua. "Hey Groove, want to come with us?" Benson asked the Xurkitree. "Xurkitree." The Xurkitree said, shaking his body yes. "Then let's go." Benson said, as they all left Ratland.

Ratland

Back in the present. "Okay. Benson, why don't you take Kipo, and I'll show Kalena around." Aqua said to Benson. "Sounds like a plan." Benson said to Aqua, before they all split off

Las Vasta Street

Meanwhile, Mandu noticed the flamingos in the sky, and tried to warn Wolf, who was digging in a box of custom jewelry. "Ah-ha! It's perfect!" Wolf said, looking at a necklace. Then Mandu ran into her legs. "Not now, pig. I'm busy." Wolf said to Mandu, as Dave walked to her. "What'd ya get?" Dave asked Mandu. "It's a mace. See?" Wolf said to Dave, as she spun it around, only to break it, and send the jewel part flying into a window.

"That wasn't the right gift, anyway." Wolf said. "Well, I found the great gift of all time." Dave said to Wolf, before putting on a leather jacket with spikes on it. "For me, tough. We still have to look for Kipo and Kalena." Dave said to Wolf. "That's it! It's just like the one Kipo liked in Cactustown. It's perfect!" Wolf said. "Whoo!" Dave said, looking at himself in a mirror. "We have to give it to Kipo." Wolf said to Dave. "Who made you jacet boss?" Dave asked Wolf.

"Fine. Since you found it, you can wear it back. But then I'm taking it off of you, one way or another." Wolf said to Dave. "Long as you don't enter the Wolf-free zone." Dave said to Wolf, as Wolf walked away. But then Mandu stopped Wolf from leaving. "What's gotten into you? Is every mute this annoying?" Wolf asked Mandu. "Hey, I take offense to that…" Dave said to Wolf, before he molted into his mussel form and ripped the leather jacket apart. "Oops." Dave said. "You are truly useless, mute!" Wolf said to Dave, before leaving.

"You know what I think? I think that girl really doesn't like mutes. Because I am full of uses." Dave said to Star. "Kartana." Star said, going up and down, looking like it was a yes for the don't like mutes, but moved side to side, looking like a no for use.

Ratland

Meanwhile Benson was leading Kipo to a boat ride, where all got in and Virgo and Groove stayed back on the dock. "Welcome to the Ratland Mute Cruise. Remember to keep all tails, paws, and wings inside the boat at all times, s'il vous plait." Amy said Benson and Kipo, as Brad started the boat, and went down a river. "This place is amazing! How did you even know it was here?" Kipo asked Benson. "Well, when you live up here long enough, you learn a few things. Believe it or not, it's not all danger all the time. In fact, the rats made this a safe zone. All species welcome." Benson said to Kipo.

"Little known fun fact: easily the best cruise in this part of town, if I don't mind tootin' my own horn." Amy said to everyone, honking her horn. "Hang on! Looks like a real party down there, Amay!" Brad said, as large skunks, that looked like they were in a biker gang, came at them, riding jet skis, and leaving a tail of green smoke. Benson gasped, and covered Kipo's mouth, while holding his breath.

After the skunks left, Kipo noticed Benson close to her, and his hands on her. Benson then exalted and let go of Kipo, with Kipo having a smile on her face. "Careful, you do not want to get downwind of those three when they're excited! Whoo!" Benson said to Kipo.

"Oh, Brad! Look out! Dead ahead! Is that a Mage Pug I see?" Amy said to Brad, before waving her arm into the air. This gave a nearby Xurkitree a signal to power up the lights, a giant mechanical pug face, and a speaker making a bark sound. "Don't worry, Amy! I think his bark is worse than his height." Brad said to Amy, as they went past the pug.

"These are some of the worst jokes I've heard in my life." Kipo whispered to Benson. "I think I love this ride." Kipo said, talking normally. "Rats do love cheese! Oh, man, now I'm doing it, too." Benson said to Kipo, before laughing. "I couldn't have thought of a better way to spend my birthday. I really appreciate this." Kipo said to Benson, having a moment, but the moment ended when Benson splashed some water into Kipo's face. Kipo then returned the favor and splashed water in Benson's face, making both of them laugh.

Meanwhile Kalena, Aqua, Kommo-o and Cloak were walking through some game booths, when they saw a crowd of young mutes and humans outside a building, with Mia in front of it. "Welcome to the opening of Ratlands Arcade." Mia said to everyone, letting people into the building. Then Mia noticed Aqua. "Ahh, Aqua it's good to see you here again. And who is this?" Mia asked Aqua, walking to them.

"This is Kalena, she's my new friend?" Aqua asked Mia. "A pleasure to meet you Kalena. I hope you have fun here in Rateland." Mia said to Kalena. "Not really. This isn't my kind of fun." Kalena said to Mia. "And what is your kind of fun?" Mia asked Kalena. "I'm a fighter, battling is how I have fun." Kalena said to Mia, making Mia shake her head. "My dear, you need to lighten up. Not everything in life has to be a fight or battle. So enjoy the arcade, and try to have fun." Mia asid to Kalena, before leaving.

"Come on. Let's go." Aqua said to Kalena, leading her inside the arcade. There they could see all kinds of games and everyone playing it, and even a full stocked prize counter with another rat keeping watch, all with a Xurkitree powering the place up. "Not bad." Aqua said, looking around. "I still don't see what's fun about playing silly games?" Kalena asked, as she looked around. Then she noticed something at the prize counter. "On second thought, let's play some games." Kalena said, moving to the games, and surprising Aqua.

Back with Benson and Kipo, they were walking to a ferris wheel. With Kipo and some cotton candy with Virgo, as Benson used his cotton candy to be junny, by placing it on his face, making it look like his eyes and mouth was cotton candy, this made Kipo laugh. Then they moved to the ferris wheel.

And while they moved to it, they ran into two elephant mutes that were as tall as them but still had heavy set bodies, and walking on two legs, wearing rat land theme outfits, one adult the other a child. "Let the riders off first! Hmph. Respect the rules of the park!" the elephant said, with a female voice. This made Benson scoff, as he took the cotton candy off himself. "Annual pass holders. You can spot 'em a mile away, they practically live here." Benson said to Kipo. as they got into the ferris wheel cart, but it was too small for Virgo and Groove to join in the ride, so they waited on the ground.

"At least they're not chasing us. In fact, this is the first time we've seen mutes and haven't had to run." Kipo said to Benson, as the ferris wheel started to move. "I wasn't kidding about that safe zone. You can relax here. Stretch your arms. Enjoy the view." Benson said to Kipo. And Kipo did that, she just relaxed and enjoyed the view, from the view of Ratland below, to the stars shining above them. Then Kipo laughed.

"Which one's that?" Benson asked Kipo. "That one is Arcturus." Kipo said to Benson. "How 'bout that one?" Benson asked Kipo. "Mmm, not a star, that's a planet. It's Mars." Kipo said to Benson. "Wow. there's so much up there I don't know about." Benson said to Kipo, looking at the stars. Meanwhile Kipo was looking at Benson with an affectionate look in her eyes.

Benson noticed this, and got confused by it. "You all right?" Benson asked Kipo. "Yeah." Kipo said to Benson, with a gentle tune in her voice. This made Benson even more confused. "Sure about that?" Benson asked Kipo, making Kipo gasp. "Oh, uh, you know, I just wish everyone was here, too. They're missing out on all the fun." KIpo said to Benson, laughing nervously.

"But, actually, I wanted to get you here alone." Benson said to Kipo. "You did?" Kipo asked Benson. "Yeah. To see this. I wanted you to know that not everything on the surface is bad. That there are places where it's OK. Better than OK! That there's hope for your people. That's my real present for you." Benson said to Kipo, standing up, showing her all that she could see, and placing a hand on her shoulder. All this made KIpo blush.

"And I didn't want anybody, not naming names, Wolf, to spoil that for you. I love our girl Wolf, but she's been known to rain down on the occasional parade, so, you know." Benson said to Kipo, as they reached the top of the ferris wheel, and stopped. "I don't know if it's that I'm turning 13, but I feel different right now. And I just feel like I need to tell you that…" Kipo said to Benson, blushing, and getting nervous. "I think I like you." Kipo said to Benson, surprising Benson.

"Oh… Oh! Oh…" Benson said, making Kipo gasp. "You don't feel the same. Or is Aqua your girlfriend?" Kipo asked Benson. "Oh, no! No, I like you, too. Really, really like you! You're all kinds of awesome! But you should know something…" Benson said to Kipo, being nervous. "You like me as a friend." Kipo said to Benson. "Yes!" Benson said to Kipo. "So is Aqua your girlfriend?" Kipo asked Benson. "No, because… I'm gay. And Aqua knows it." Benson said to Kipo, with pride. "Oh… Oh! I totally misread your signals. Is it OK if I curl up into a ball right now?" Kipo asked Benson.

Meanwhile Kalena was playing a Skeeball game racking up points and tickets, with Aqua, Kommo-o, and Cloak watching her. But then Kalena froze. "Kalena what's wrong?" Aqua asked Kalena. "I don't know why? But I suddenly have a strong urge to hunt Benson down and hurt him, a lot!" Kalena said to Aqua, with an angry face.

Las Vasta The Sky Above Ratland

In the sky above Ratland, Javin, Maira, and everyone with them riding flamingos, stayed out of view behind some clouds. "Okay everyone. I know today hasn't been the best hunt. Which is why we're here. Ratland. If there's one place in the city that has humans it's here. Now remember to be quick, the rats have joined with these new mutes, no telling what kind of fight they'd put up. So just find the first human you can get out of there." Javin said to everyone.

They all nodded yes. "Good. I would've wanted to wait for the others, but we have to get back. So let's do this. And remember, I want to hear the voice of every human we capture, so make sure they're conscious and alive when you catch them." Javin said to everyone. Everyone nodded and started to attack.

Ratland

In the arcade, Kalena gave all her tickets to the rat at the counter, and took two prizes from the rat. "Perfect. Now let's go." Kalena said to Aqua, as she put the prizes in her bag, and everyone with her started to leave the arcade. But as they got to the door, they noticed flamingos charging at them. "Flamingos? This can't be good?" Kalena asked. "Oh no! This is bad. Those are Scarlemagne goons." Aqua said to Kalena, making everyone in the arcade panic. Everyone, but Kalena.

"Is there a back door here?" Kalena asked the rat at the counter. "Uh… yes?" The rat said to Kalena. "Good. Aqua, get everyone out. I'll take care of this." Kalena said to Aqua, as she opened the door.

"Are you crazy? You can't fight all those goons by yourself!" Aqua said to Kalena. "It won't be just me. Kommo-o will help me, and if I need to. The other five dragons I got with me can help. Besides this is what Kommo-os live for. To protect their friends and family from thugs like this. So help everyone here. I got you covered." Kalena said to Aqua, as she exited the arcade, leaving a surprise Aqua. Aqua shook her head, and got to evaluating the arcade.

Outside Kalena waited for Scarlemagne's goons to land. "You, human, surrender." A ape said to Kalena, as a few flamingos laned in front of Kalena and Kommo-o. "Only if you win." Kalena said to the ape. This made the ape and a monkey charge at Kalena and Kommo-o. "Kommo-o use Iron Tail." Kalena said to Kommo-o. "Kommo-o." Kommo-o said, as her tail turned silver.

Then as Kommo-o slammed her tail into the ape, Kalena did an upper cut into the monkey, sending both the monkey and ape flying into a flamingo, knocking all three of the mutes out. This made their other goons nervous. "Okay, who's next?" Kalena asked them, as she and Kommo-o put up their fists.

Meanwhile on the ferris wheel. "Thank you, tought, for just, uh, I don't know, being you? OK, that was a really dumb thing to say. I think I'm just trying to say, I'm glad we're friends." Kipo said to Benson, as she hugged Benson. "Huh?" Benson said, noticing a flamingo charging at them. "Kipo, duck!" Benson said, as he pulled Kipo down, dodging the talons of the flamingo. "Kalena and I've seen that flamingo before. It works for Scarlemagne." Kipo said to Benson.

"That's bad. Really bad." Benson said to Kipo. "I thought you said this was a safe zone!" Kipo asked Benson, as they watched the flamingo. "Unfortunately, Scarlemagne does not obey the safe zone, and with the Cheetah Boxers gone, nothing stopping him." Benson said to Kipo. "Cheetah Boxers?" Kipo asked Benson. "Look out!" Benson said to Kipo, as the flamingo charged at them.

But then bolts of electricity came shooting up from the ground, making the flamingo stop it's attack, and making it panic, while dodging the electricity. Kipo looked down to see, Groove being the one that's firing the electricity, and Virgo flying to them. But then the flamingo flew past Kipo and Benson cart, and while panicking, knocked it off the ferris, making Kipo and Benson fall to the ground.

Luckily, Kipo was able to grab Benson with her left arm and one of the ferris wheel railing with her right arm, before they could hit the ground. But Kipo wasn't strong enough to pull either of them up, and was putting a strain on her and losing her grip on the railing. Then Kipo noticed another flamingo charging at them, with a male human riding it, and dodging the bolts of electricity Groove was firing. Kipo tried her hardest to pull them up, but she couldn't

But then something in Kipo changed, and pink fur grew onto her, with a jaguar pattern. Not only that, but she got stronger, bending the metal rode with her grip. With this new arm, Kipo had no trouble tossing Benson on the railing, and pulling herself up. Then before the flamingo could attack Kipo and Benson. Virgo finally reached them, and fired a red and blue ink into the eyes of the flamingo, making them go blaind, and missing everyone.

"Now what?" Benson asked Kipo, as Virgo moved to Kipo's side. Kipo then noticed a roller coaster with ti's carts moving. "Roller coaster." Kipo said to Benson, making Bension look at the roller coaster. "No, Kipo! It's too far a drop. Keep climbing down!" Benson said to Kipo. But then Kipo noticed the flamingo and it's human rider was coming back for another attack, with the ink out of the flamingo's eyes. "You're taking too long!" Kipo said to Benson, before charging at him, grabbing him, and jumping off the ferris wheel, all the while Benons was screaming, and Virgo followed Kipo off the ferris wheel.

Lucky for them, the carts of the roller coaster were right under them as they jumped, and they landed in them. But because of them jumping into the carts, caused it to go out of control, and derail, crashing into a building, then into a wall, making a cloud of dust. The flamingo and it's human rider then tried to go through the hole, Kipo, Benson, and Virgo made, but got zapped by one of Groove's Thunderbolt, and knocked out the flamingo, and the human rider.

Meanwhile the dust from the crash was clearing, and Benson was coughing. "Oh, Kipo. Are you OK?" Benson asked Kipo, noticing Kipo's right arm. "Uh, yeah. I'm fine. I don't know what came over me." Kipo said to Benson. "Kipo?" Benson asked Kipo. "It was like something else was in control." Kipo said to Benson, ignoring him. "Kipo!" Benson said, getting Kipo's attention.

"Uh, what happened to your arm?" Benson asked Kipo, freaking out a little. "My arm?" Kipo said, looking at her arm, and finally noticing it, making her scream. "What's wrong with my arm? It's all furry! Benson, why is my arm all furry?" Kipo asked Benson, grabbing her arm and freaking out.

"I know sometimes girls your age go through changes. Although, that's a pretty big change. I'm not helping, am I?" Benson said to Kipo, but noticed the mean look on her face, and got nervous. Then Groove entered the building. But it was at this point the flamingo and it's human rider woke up, and broke through the wall. "Run!" Benson said, as he, Kipo, Virgo, and Groove, hightailed it out of there.

Las Vasta The Sky Above Ratland

Javin and Maira were watching the fight from above on his flamingo, and noticed Kipo and Benson escaping the ferris wheel, but he didn't notice Kipo's right arm. "Kids got guts. I'll give her that." Javin said to Kipo, not that Kipo could hear him.

Then Javin turned his head to see Kalena and Kommo-o fighting some of the mutes Scarlemagne sent with him at the front of the acade, and Aqua leading humans and mutes out of the back door of the arcade, and could even hear Aqua. "Come on everyone, this way." Aqua said as she held the door open for everyone. "That voice!" Javin said, as he got mad, and memories appeared in his mind.

The Past

A few months ago as the sun started to rise, in the tall grasslands on the edge of Las Vistas, there's a large village made out of straw huts with large Brown Light Crystals woven into the top of the huts surrounding a large wrestling ring that have Brown Light Crystal all around it's base, the sounds of drums played in the air. And many cheetahs young and old, standing on two legs, all wearing different color wrestling singlet, and some wearing woven headgear with two Brown Light Crystals on the side of their heads, and even few of the ones with headgear was wearing woven bracelets with a single tiny Brown Light Crystals on one of their wrist.

All of these cheetahs were dancing around the ring, all of which was dancing around a male cheetah wearing a white wrestling singlet, similar headgear as some of the other Cheetah Boxers with the addition of a Brown Light Crystal champion belt around his waist, standing on the ring

"Sing now, Cheetah Boxers. We are the strongest. We have no fear. Che-Che-Cheetah Boxers. We are the voice of the light. Lift up your voices. We are the voice of the light. Lift up your voices. The ground catches the light. The water reflects the light. The sun and moon give us the light. The light becomes us all. Woo, can you hear it? Footsteps upon footsteps. Woo, can you hear it? Voices upin voices. We are the voice of the light. Lift up your voices. We are the voice of the light. Lift up your voices. For the Radiant One." The cheetahs sang, before letting out a roar.

Then all the cheetahs looked at the one on the ring. "Hello my Cheetah Boxers. I don't think I need to tell you all what today is. But I will anyway even though everyone isn't here yet. Today is the day our young become adults and earn their headgear. To do this, our young ones will all go hunting one Mega Mute for a feast under the moonlight tonight. Now for any young one who feels they're not ready for this, you can choose to back out. There will be no punishment for choosing this. This will count as wisdom, not cowardness, for you know you're not ready, and that can be the hardest thing to admit. Now we all must get ready, the hunt will begin when the sun reaches its peak." The cheetah said to the Cheetah Boxers.

They all cheered and started to live. That's when the cheetah on the ring jumped off the ring, and in front of Javin, who still had his left arm, but not his headgear. "Nice speech Chief." Javin said to the cheetah. "Thanks my son." The chief said to Javin. "Sir, I'm not your son." Javin said to the chief. "Nonsense. You and my daughter have been madly in love with each other for a long time, the only thing keeping you from becoming mates is that you both aren't adults yet. But I hope after today, you'll finally do this old Cheetah Boxer an honor and become my son, and maybe be the one that can take me down, and become the new chief of the Cheetah Boxers." The Chief said to Javin.

"You flatter me sir. I don't think I could bet you." Javin said to the chief. "Don't sell yourself short. I think you can beat me with one arm tied behind your back. Now escume me, I must go get my daughter ready for the hunt, you should get ready as well." The chief said to Javin, before leaving.

Then a little male cheetah wearing a green wrestling singlet, and wearing a wrestling robe that had a small Brown Light in the belt of the robe, with a handmade stuffed animal that looked like Javin in his right hand, jumped onto Javin's back. "Roar. We got you." The little cheetah said to Javin. "Oh no the great Flash and Little J got me. But wait was this, a tickle attack." Javin said to the little cheetah, before he started to tickle the little cheetah.

This made Flash laugh and slip off Javin back, allowing Javin to fall onto Flash pinning him to the ground. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. I won." Javin said to Flash, with a big smile on his face. "No far bro. You're getting me, little J, and my ceremony robes durty" Flash said to Javin, laughing. "Well that's what you get for trying to beat your big brother Flash." Javin said to Flash, as they got off the ground. "Is the chief right? Are you going to be the next chief? Because if you are, that would make you cooler than you already are." Flash said to Javin, running around Javin really fast.

"Hold it, you wild thing." Javin said to Flash, as he picked up his brother. "I'm not going to be chief, maybe one day. But for now I just want to make it through the day." Javin said to Flash. "So you can mate with Asuga." Flash said to Javin, laughing, and making Javin blush hard. "What… No!... I just… I… look, I just want to be an adult, that's all." Javin said to Flash. "So you and Asuga can be all lovey dovey." Flash said to Javin, before laughing again. Javin then groaned and put Flash down.

"Whatever. Anyway, you think you can handle yourself while I'm out hunting?" Javin asked Flash. "Of course. After all, I have Little Javin with me. We can handle anything." Flash said to Javin, holding the stuffed animal up to Javin. "But he doesn't make it easy for me to watch his back." Flash said to Javin, in a deep voice, and moved the stuffed animal around, like the stuffed animal was talking and not Flash. "I know. Now if you excuse me. I have to go get ready." Javin said to Flash, before rudding Flash's head, and leaving.

But Javin didn't go to his hut, he went deep into grasslands, to a quiet place that took him an hour to reach. "Uh, I really should make a map. Everything looks the same out here." Javin said, before getting on his knees and starting to dig. He Then dug up a box. He opened the box and with his left hand pulled out a woven wristband with a tiny Brown Light Crystal, "I know the chief and Flash were just messing with me, but I do want to become mates with Asuga, but how can I? I mean sure I love her. But what can I give her? I'm not the strongest of the coalition, and I… what's happening?" Javin asked himself, before noticing the Brown Light Crystal started to glow.

Then the wristband started to shake, as the Brown Light Crystal started to glow even brighter. "What's happening?" Javin asked, holding the wristband far and high away from him in his left hand. Then a blinding light burst out of the Brown Light Crystal, knocking Javin out.

As the sun started to set, Javin was on the ground and started to wake up. That's when Javin felt something was missing. That's when he looked to his left to see his left arm was gone, only a stump that was his shoulder remained and it was pitch black. He felt no pain from it. "What? What happened? How long was I out?" Javin asked as he looked around. He then noticed the sun setting. "The sun is setting. I must have missed the hunt. I have to get back." Javin said, as he tried to get up, but he felt drained of energy, and didn't have the energy to stand. So he decided to start crawling.

After crawling for a bit, he made it to grassess on the edge of the village. But what he was when he got there horrified him. And what he was pitch black burn marks and craters everywhere. It was all gone, nothing was there, no huts, no ring, no Cheetah Boxers. All he could see from the grass was cloaked figures walking around the place. Then Javin heard two of the cloaked figures talking. One a taller figure with a black and green cloak, with a black bird mask in the hood of the cloak, the other one a smaller figure with a black and blue cloak, and a black bird mask in the cloak's hood.

"Well Emilia it worked. They're all gone. The prototype caused all the Light Crystals to blow and incinerated everything around it. And I took care of any that survived" The blue cloaked figure said to the green cloaked figure, making Javin's eyes widened in terror. "Congratulations Dawn. I knew your device would be better for this, then some simple energy battery. And now look at you, taking back the surface for us. I always knew you could." The green cloaked figure said to the blue cloaked figure.

"But the prototype destroyed itself in the process." The blue cloaked figure said to the green cloaked figure. "It matters not, it did what it was supposed to do. Now let's go." The green cloaked figure said to the blue cloaked figure, before all the cloaked figures started to leave.

Once they were gone, with terror pumping in his vain, Javin got up and started to run around the burn land. "FLASH! CHIEF! ASUGA! ANYONE!" Javin yelled while running around. Then Javin felt something under his foot. He looked down to find a burned and damaged, missing legs and right arm, stuffed animal under his foot. And looking at it for a few seconds to realize that it was little Javin, and then he realized the creator in front of him was Flash's creator. Javin then dropped to his knees and pulled the stuffed animal closer to him.

"No! No! No! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Javin said before roaring. Then the roar became loud weeping, and rivers of tears streamed out of Javin's eyes, as his heart shattered into thousands of pieces.

After weeping for a day, Javin started to wander around, not knowing where he's going or caring, he just held the stuffed animal close to his shattered heart and cried with every step he took. And he didn't care of the pain his feet were in, because the pain in his heart drowned out all the other scenes in his body. He walked like this for days not stopping for anything.

Then Javin tripped on a small rock and fell to the ground, and didn't even try to get up, he just laid there waiting to die. But then something found him, and its shadow covered Javin. "How sad. To see the mighty Cheetah Boxers fall to this." A male voice said to Javin. Javin used what strength he had left to look up with tears full eyes, there he saw Scarlemagne standing near a very big double head pink flamingo with a pink fancy old style card on it.

"Scarlemagne." Javin said to Scarlemagne. "I heard something happened to the Cheetah Boxers. Can you tell me what happened?" Scarlemagne asked Javin. Javin just looked away. "Some cloaked figures. I don't know how. But those figures, they burned everyone and everything down to the ground." Javin said to Scarlemagne, before crying some more.

"Must have been humans. Only they can be so savage. So what will you do?" Scarlemagne asked Javin. "Just lay here and die." Javin said to Scarlemagne. "I have a better option. I want you to join me. I always wanted Cheetah Boxer to join me on my mission to unite all Mute kind under one leader and punish all those humans. But the Cheetah Boxers always said no, and would stop me from trying. But now it's just you." Scarlemagne said to Javin.

"So you're going to finish me. I don't care." Javin said to Scarlemagne. "No, my boy. Like I said, I want you to join me. I've always respected and admired the fighting spirits of the Cheetah Boxers. And I could use someone like that to help me untie the mutes and capture all the savage humans. What do you say? Do you want to join me? I'll give you whatever you want." Scarlemagne said to Javin.

Javin then started to get up, and looked Scarlemagne in the eyes, with a very angry look on his face. "All I want is to rip out the hearts of the two humans that rip out mine." Javin said to Scalemagne. "Ohhh, so edgy, I like it. You got yourself a deal." Scarlemagne said to Javin, before walking to his car. Then from the back set he pulled out a woven headgear with two Brown Light Crystals on the side of it.

"Why do you have that?" Javin asked Scalemagne. "Like I said, I'd admired your people, and I believe it would be better if it was worn by a true Cheetah Boxer." Scarlemagne said to Javin, as Scarlemagne put the headgear on Javin. Javin didn't stop Scarlemagne, cause he didn't care if broke tradition to wear this, all he thought was about ripping out the hearts of the ones called Emilia and Dawn.

Las Vasta The Sky Above Rateland

After the memory finished in his head, Javin grabbed the reins of his flamingo and made it charge at Aqua, with a burning rage in his heart.

Rateland

Aqua noticed the flamingo changing at her and quickly closed the back door and locked it. "Guess we're not going out that way." Aqua said to Clock. Then the door was forced open, breaking the locks. Then Aqua saw Javin and Maira walk into the arcade. "It's time to pay, monster! You may have gotten away from me at the Observatory by not talking while I was around. But I could never forget our voice. And now you will pay." Javin said to Aqua, with rage in his voice, and tossing his cloak off him. "A Cheetah Boxer!" Aqua said, with a surprised look on her face, as memories entered her mind.

The Past

After the village was blasted, Aqua looked around to see if there were any survivors with a few other cloak figures searching with her. But all she found was burned creators, she could still hear the screams of the Cheetah Boxers. Then she saw some of the grass russell, and went to investigate. That's when she found a scared little male Cheetah Boxer wearing a green wrestling singlet, clinging to a young adult female Cheetah Boxer wearing a tan wrestling singlet.

Aqua was told by Emilia to terminate any survivors. But she couldn't do it. "Dawn did you find anything?" A female voice asked Aqua. Aqua quickly turned and let go of the grass hiding the two Cheetah Boxers. The person that asked her the question, was a very large person covered in a purple and black clock, with a rat mask attached to the hood. "No Greta, nothing." Aqua said to the figure. "Well alright." Greta said to Aqua before leaving.

Aqua then turned to the Cheetah Boxers. "Run! You two need to get out of here now!" Aqua said to the Cheetah Boxer. "Thank you. Come on Flash." The female Cheetah Boxer said to Aqua and the little before moving. "Okay Asuga." Flash said to the female Cheetah, as they left.

Then Aqua did even more defiance, and saved what Cheetah Boxer survivors she could, most of the Cheetah Boxer survivors were young adults that were about to earn their headgear, teenagers, and little kids. And how she did this, is that she stopped any of the other figures from killing the Cheetah Boxer they found. And told them this was all her so she gets to be the one to finish them. The figures had no trouble with this, and let Aqua drag the Cheetah Boxer to the grass to be killed.

But what the figures didn't know was that instead of killing them, she let them go. And even though it didn't make her feel better about what she's done, she still saved a lot of Cheetah Boxers, and gave them a chance to survive, maybe even thrive again, given time.

After all that Aqua walked to Emilia. "Well Emilia it worked. They're all gone. The prototype caused all the Light Crystals to blow and incinerated everything around it. And I took care of any that survived, myself." Aqua said to Emilia "Congratulations Dawn. I knew your device would be better for this, then some a tool for healing. And now look at you, taking back the surface for us. I always knew you could do it." Emilia said to Aqua

"But the prototype destroyed itself in the process." Aqua said to Emilia. "It matters not, it did what it was supposed to do. Now let's go." Emilia said to Aqua, before all started to leave, and while leaving, Aqua looked at the ruins, and felt her heart break in two.

A few hours later everyone was on a boat on the coast of Las Vastas, the humans in it were partying, for ending the Cheetah Boxers. And not that anyone noticed, but Aqua sneaked back to the room on the ship. It was a small room, with just a small bed, desk and chair, with papers, pens and other stuff on the desk, and a mirror.

Once she was in the room she closed the door and locked it. That's when Aqua started to treat the room apart, crying and confused. "Why did I help those Cheetah Boxers? They were my enemy. Mutes took my Mom and Dad from me, so I shouldn't be merciful to some Mutes. But I didn't want to hurt them like that. I just wanted them to leave?" Aqua said to herself, before crashing onto the bed.

"This may be what my parents and Aunt Emilia want for me. But I wanted to be a doctor, a healer. I made that device to transfer the energy of Light Crystal into a body to help it heal naturally from anything from paper cuts to deadly diseases. But Aunt Emilia saw that it could be used to kill, not heal, by pumping energy into the Light Crystals, making them very unstable. I can't let her get away with this. I may be a monster and I may never wash my hands clean of what happened today. But I can make sure Aunt Emilia can never use my work for her and my parents' twisted dreams again." Aqua said before getting off her bed, and went to the desk to plan.

Rateland

Back in the present Aqua was backing away slowly from a very furious Javin. "Listen I know you're mad but I need to tell you something really important." Aqua said to Javin. "No talk, All I want from you is your heart after I rip it out!" Javin said to Aqua, before charging at Aqua, making Aqua fall backwards. But then Kalena came out of nowhere and slammed into Javin's left side, sending Javin flying into the one of the skeeball games. "Pheromosa!" Maira said, before Kommo-o came up and grabbed her, then tossing Maira into the skeeball game next to Javin.

All this startled the Xurkitree powering the arcade, and made the lights in the arcade light up bright, making Kalena shine. "Aqua are you okay?" Kalena asked Aqua, turning head to her. Aqua then blushed a little, as she nodded yes. "Not a bad tackle there. I'm guessing you're with this monster?" Javin said to Kalena, as he and Maira got up and out of the Skeeball games. While Javin and Maira were getting up, Aqua turned her head to see all the flamingos and their riders knocked out, outside.

"Monster, how dare you call my Kommo-o a monster!" Kalena said to Javin, getting in a fighting stance, and regaining Aqua focus. "Not the big lizard, I mean the girl behind you. She killed my people." Javin said to Kalena, surprising her. "Aqua what is he talking about?" Kalena asked Aqua, losing her fighting stance. but before Aqua could say anything, Javin interrupted. "Aqua. Her name is Dawn. Dawn. Dawn! DAWN! I will never forget that voice or that name." Javin said holding his right hand on the stump that was his left arm, getting angry.

"Okay I think you need to calm down. Clearly you had a bad time and are blaming Aqua for someone else crimes. I mean sure Aqua stole from me and has a weird phobia, but other than those two things, she is a good person and a part of my tribe. And if you want her, then you're going to have to go throw me and Kommo-o." Kalena said to Javin, getting back into a fighting stance, with Kommo-o joining her in a fighting stance. "That can be arranged." Javin said to Kalena, before he and Maira charged at Kalena at high speed, with Javin tackling Kalena, and Maira tackling Kommo-o.

Kalena then rolled and used her legs to force Javin off her and into the air, For Kommo-o, she held her ground and grabbed Maira before tossing her into the air in the direction of Javin. But Javin and Maira recovered in the air, and landed on their feet. "Nice move. Kid." Javin said to Kalean, as she got up. "My name is Kalena. And I grew up with fighters, you learn a thing or two." Kalena said, as she and Kommo-o got into a fighting stance.

"Well my name is Javin. And let's see how you handle this." Javin said to Kalena, as he and Maira charged at Kalean and Kommo-o. And before they could move a muscle, Javin and Maira were already in their faces, and Javin fired a barrage with his right fist all over Kalena, and Maira did two kicks into the side of her neck. Then Javin and Maira did an upper cut into the lower part of Kalena and Kommo-o's jaw, sending them flying into the air, and causing them to crash into a basketball game.

"What was that?" Kalena asked, in pain a little. "That was the fighting style of the Cheetah Boxers. They're not strong like other mutes, but their speed is incredible. They are known to be able to move far, and punch things hard, in an instant." Aqua said to Kalena. "That's right. You're no match for me kid. So just stay down, and let me take my revenge." Javin said to Kalena, before turning to Aqua. "I said you'll have to go throw me first." Kalena to Javin, as she and Kommo-o got up. "Come on, we're ready for another round." Kalena said to Javin, as she and Kommo-o got back into a fighting stance. Javin just smiled at this. "All right then." Javin said to Kalena, as he got ready for another round.

Las Vasta Street

Meanwhile, Wolf, Dave, Mandu, and Star were still looking around for anything they could give as a gift, but all that was really happening was Dave getting on Wolf's nerves, and Wolf almost hitting Dave a few times with her stick. "We need to find another gift." Wolf said. "We can go back for that hubcap. I'll consider telling Kipo it's from the both of us. But I still don't know what to give Kalena." Dave said to Wolf, as he flew out of reach of Wolf's stick.

"What was the name of that store where you found it?" Wolf asked Dave. "I don't know. Parts… something. Oh, parts Etc! Check out my mind, razor-sharp!" Dave said to Wolf. "Of course!" Wolf said before going back to the building with the word parsec on it, with everyone following her.

"P-A-R-S-E-C. Parsec. Dave, you're a genius!" Wolf said to Dave, before realizing what she said. "I mean, uh, great job… Well, good job. Job. Dave. Job." Wolf said to Dave, with Dave looking at her. "I did not follow a word of that." Dave said to Wolf. "We're done searching. We already found Kipo's gift. And maybe we can find Kalena's gift inside." Wolf said to Dave, before noticing Mandu missing.

"Where's Mandu?" Wolf asked. And where Mandu was, she was under the raimins of a car, squealing in fear. Then squawking fluid the air, and Wolf looked up to see two flamingos, with an ape and monkey rider on it. Wolf, Star, and Dave got ready to fight. But Dave turned old and became useless.

"It's like realizing you might be useful causes you not to be useful." Wolf said to Dave. "Kartana." Star agreed with Wolf, as Wolf dragged Dave and his shedded mussel form under the car with Mandu. Star then quickly followed Wolf.

Then the flamingo landed, with one landed on the strength and ther other on the car everyone was hiding under. "Uh, sure you saw something down here?" the ape, which was mute orangutan, asked the monkey, which was a mute tarsier, with large green eyes. "You doubt my eyes?" the tarsier asked the orangutan. "No Lemieux. I just want to finally beat Javin." the orangutan said to the tarsier. "Ahh poor Gerard. Still haven't gotten over that fact that Javin is Scarlemagne's right hand and not you." Lemieux said to the orangutan.

"It's just not far. I've worked for Scarlemange for years. Then this Cheetah Boxer shows up and suddenly he's got the spot right next to Scarlemange and all the good stuff." Gerard said to Lemieux, surprising Wolf. "Gerard, you know that Javin has earned Scarlemange favor." Lemieux said to Gerard. "But I'm stronger than him." Gerard said to Lemieux. "Really cause I remember when you challenged him. You almost died. In fact if it wasn't for Scarlemange mercy, you would be dead." Lemieux said to Gerard, laughing, and making Gerard frown.

Rateland

Speaking of Javin, he and Maira have been giving Kalena and Kommo-o a bet down, winning round after round, leaving bruises on Kalena and cracking a few of Kommo-o scales, but Kalena and Kommo-o aways got back up. The latest round put them on the edge of a cliff, overlooking the river for the boat ride, with Kalena having their back to it, Javin and Maira in front of them, and Aqua and Clock watching this form behind a smashed up wall.

"I gotta admit kid, I'm impressed. After all, me and Maira did to you and your lizard. You two still got up. That shows me your fighting spirit. But you two can't bet me or Maira. But I'll make you a deal. Give up now and let me take your friend and you walk away from this. Or I break you and take her. In either case I'll take your friend." Javin said to Kalena. "Never! I'm not giving up! And you're not taking Aqua!" Kalena said to Javin.

"Why do you protect her? She's a monster! she killed my people!" Javin said to Kalena, getting mad. "Aqua, is a part of my tribe, she's smart, she's amazing, and when push comes to shove, she's got my back and I got hers. Sure it may not have started out like that. But she more than proved herself to me. So I'll never betray her." Kalena said to Javin, making Aqua blush a little more, and pull up her hood.

"So come on, I'm ready." Kalena said to Javin, as she and Kalena got ready for the final round. "So be it." Javin said to Kalena, as he and Maira charged at Kalena and Kommo-o. But this time, Kalena and Kommo-o caught their attacks, with their right hands, and with Kommo-o's claws glowing teal energy around it.

Then Kalena started to change. The bruises on her skin faded away, and her skin became scaly and rough, with the scales being longer on the joints on of Kalena's fingers and toes. Not that Kalena noticed her new skin, but this surprised Aqua and Javin. Kalena and Kommo-o then roared and hit Javin and Maira with their free hand, and sent them flying back a few feet, with Kalena leaving four cuts on Javin, ripping his wrestling singlet and making him bleed a little.

Once Javin and Maira landed on the ground, Javin placed his hand on his chest and looked at Kalena. "What are you?" Javin asked Kalena. "I'm a dragon." Kalena said to Javin. "Then it looks like I'll have to slay a dragon." Javin said, as he and maira charged at Kalena and Kommo-o again. Maira let loose a flurry of kicks into Kommo-o. But with Kommo-o's claws still gowling with teal energy, she waited for an opening and slammed her right claw into Maira's lower gut. Forced Maira to stop, dealing a lot, and send her flying back a few feet, again.

With Kalena, she took Javin's attack, but she barely moved, and her scaly skin, it was tougher than it looked and with the roughness of it, Javin ended up bruising his knuckles. Javin then pulled his fist close to her. This pain made javin stop, and made it easy for Kalena to throw him away. Javin landed next to Maira.

"Where was all this power earlier? This would have been more fun." Javin said to Kalena, as he and Maira got up. "But all good things must come to an end." Kalena said to Javin. "We'll see!" Javin said, before he and Maira charged at Kalena and Kommo-o one more time.

With Kommo-o, before Maira could attack, Kommo-o did an uppercut into Maira's jaw with her left claw, and turned to the right, making it so she threw Maira into the river below.

With Kalena, she dodged Javin's attack, and elbowed him in the back, forcing Javin over the edge. But before he went down, Javin grabbed Kalena's ponytail, and as he went over, took Kalena down with him. But Kommo-o was able to grab Kalena, before she went over. But this left them in a stalemate, with Javin hanging onto Kalena's hair unable to get up, Kalena unable to think with her hair being pulled, and Kommo-o holding onto Kalena unable to do anything else without making Kalena go down with Javin.

Aqua saw this and started to look around, wondering what she could do to help. Then she felt something break under her foot. Aqua looked down to see, she just steep onto some broken glass. "That'll work." Aqua said, having an idea.

Back with the others. "You fought well. But this fight isn't over. Not until I have my revenge." Javin said to Kalena. Then Aqua amled up and leaned over the edge. "Sorry but this fight is over. See you later, Javin." Aqua said to Javin, before cutting Kalena's hair, making Javin fall into the river below, still holding onto Kalena's hair.

Once Javin hit the river, everyone got up, and a little of Kalena's pony tail was left, now it only reached to her shoulders. Kalena felt her hair, and gave Aqua a look. "Don't look at me like that. It was the only thing I could do to get Javin off you. Consider it my birthday gift." Aqua said to Kalena, trying to act like it was a good thing. "You're lucky, you're cute." Kalena said to Aqua, looking away from Aqua, and making Aqua blush a little again, not that.

"By the way, what happened to you? Your skin it's all scaly." Aqua said to Kalena, touching Kalena skin. "And rough." Aqua said to Kalena, removing her hand from Kalena's skin quickie, and having a few small scratches on her palm, but it wasn't bleeding. Then Kalena finally noticed her scaly skin. "No idea, but I like it. Makes me feel more like a dragon." Kalena said, looking at her skin, and wiggling her fingers and toes.

"But was the deal with that mute. He seemed really interested in you for some reason?" Kalena asked Aqua, looking at her again. "Well-." Aqua said to Kalena, but the sound of Kipo screaming caught their attention. "Kipo! We'll finish this conversation later. You need to find us a ride. I don't care what it is. Kommo-o go with her." Kalena said to Aqua, leaving Kommo-o with Aqua, and leaving herself. "Hopely we won't have that conversation anytime soon." Aqua said, before looking for a ride, with Cloak and Kommo-o following her.

With Kipo and Benson, they were running from the flamingo and its human rider, with Virgo shooting acid at the flamingo and its human rider, and Groove firing electricity at the flamingo and its human rider. But they found themselves at a barricaded door. And while Benson, Virgo, and Groove started to clear the barricade, Kipo was more worried about her arm.

"I just want this to go away. And it won't!" Kipo said to everyone. "First thing first. We can't stay here." Benson said, as the flamingo and it's rider found them. "Humans, wait! Scarlemagne wants you both to dance for him." the flaming rider said to Kipo and Benson, with a male voice, as the flamingo charged at them. "Run!" Benson said, as he and the Pokemon finally cleared the barricade, and ran out the door.

And as they all ran out of the building, with the flamingo hot on their tail, they ran past the elephants. "Respect the rules of the park!" The elephant said to them.

Then as they ran, Kalena came out of nowhere and jumped onto the back of the flamingo. Kalena grabbed the rain with her left hand, and started to kick the flamingo with her legs and slammed her right hand into the human rider's head.

Distracted by this, the three of them didn't notice Brad and Amy drive up in the van with Aqua in it, and Kommo-o and Cloak on the flatbed trailer. This caused the flamingo to crash, and tossed Kalena off it, and into the Kommo-o arms. Aqua then opened the van door, as the van kept moving. "Get in!" Amy said to everyone, as they reached Kipo, Benson, Groove, and Virgo.

Then everyone got into the van, and the Pokemon got onto the flatbed trailer. "Kalena!" Aqua said to Kalena, as Kommo-o put Kalena down. "Just drive, I'm okay." Kalena said to Aqua, bangin the back of the van. Aqua closed the door, then Kipo stuck her head out the window, and finally noticed the flamingo rider was human, when the carnival mask fell off him. This made Kipo gasp.

"He's a human. Benson Aqua, Kalena, do you all see that? That's another human!" Kipo asked everyone, making them all look at the flamingo rider. "So, that's what Scarlemagne does with the humans. No, thanks!" Benson said to everyone. "Then let's get out of here." Kalena said to everyone. "Amy if you would be so kind?" Aqua asked Amy. "Of course." Amy said to Aqua, before pulling up the walkie tacky on the radio.

"Attention Ratland VIPs, the park will be closing early due to an unforeseen air raid. Better step on it, Brad!" Amy said to Brad, as they hightailed it out of rightland.

Meanwhile back in the river. Javin and Maira swam to one of the river's shores, with Javin still holding onto Kalena's hair. "Well it looks like things are getting interesting. And now I know where to find Dawn. Soon I'll have my revenge. All I have to do is beat that dragon first." Javin said with a large smile, before tossing Kalena's hair away, and walking back to his flamingo and cloak.

Las Vasta Street

Back with everyone else. Amy and Brad stopped the van at the sport where everyone first got on. There Kalena opened the door, letting Kipo and Benson see her scaly skin. "Kalena what happened to you?" Kipo asked Kalena, surprised to see her skin. "No idea, but I like it." Kalena said to Kipo, spinning around. "How are you not freaking out about this?" Kipo asked Kalean.

That's when Kalena noticed Kipos arm. "Thanks for the ride." Aqua said to Brad and Amy, before Brad popped out of the radio, with two pieces of paper and two pens. "Before you go, can we ask you two to fill out a quick survey rating your experience here at Ratland?" Brad said to Kipo and Kalena, handing them the paper. Kipo and Kalena took the papers and pens, and started to write stuff down.

As they did, Brad and Amy got out of the Van. "If you could try to forget the whole flamingo rider business we'd really appreciate it." Amy said to Kipo and Kalena. "Ahhh, but that was my favorite part." Kalena said to Amy. "Please give us a ten. Please give us a ten." Brad said. "Stop it, Brad, you're gonna make them feel like they have to." Amy said to Brad.

Kipo finished first, with her paper having, Great driving, good job, nice seats, you guys were amazing!, And 10, on it. Then Kalena finished, with her paper having, nice timing, enjoyed it, cool place, keep up the good work, and 10, on it. Amy and Brad took the papers and read them. "Yes!" They both said at the same time. Then Brad and Amy got into their van and left.

Once Amy and Brad left, Kipo's right arm, and Kalena's skin turned back to normal. And Kalena's skin was free of bruises. But losing the fur and scales made Kipo gasp. "It's gone now." Kipo said. "Ah man. I like that look." Kalena said to everyone. "At least you have a new hairdo, but what happened to your hair?" Benson asked Kalena.

"Oh Aqua hat to cut my hair to get a Cheetah Boxer off me." Kalena said to Benson, making Benson gasp. "What? What is it?" Kalena asked Benson. "You saw a Cheetah Boxer. But that's impossible. They've been extinct for months." Benson said to Kalena, surprising Kipo and Kalean. "But me and Kipo saw one." Kalena said to Benson. "We have?" Kipo asked Kalena.

"Yeah. Remember that mute we saw back at the observatory, the one that bet that Newton Wolf in the blink of an eye. That was the Cheetah Boxer." Kalena said to Kipo. "How do you know that?" Benson asked Kalena. "Cause we fought. And let me tell you, he was fast, and knew how to throw a punch. But I won." Kalena said to Benson. "You did? No way!" Benson said to Kalena. "It's true. Asked Aqua." Kalena said to Benson. "It's true she did win. But only after I help." Aqua said to Kalena.

"What! I was the one who won the fight. All you did was cut my hair." Kalena said to Aqua. "Which had a Cheetah Boxer in it." Aqua said to Kalena. "Can we please argue about this, while leaving?" Benson asked everyone. They all nodded and started to leave. Everyone but Kipo, he was holding her right arm, and looking at it. Everyone noticed this, and walked to her instead of leaving

"Kipo, are you okay?" Kalena asked Kipo. "No. What's happening to me? To us?" Kipo asked Kalena. "For me, maybe it's a side effect from how I got here. But for you I have no idea. But whatever it was. It helped us. We're standing here because of it, and not being dragged off" Kalena said to Kipo. "Kalena right. You save our lives on that ferris wheel." Benson said to Kipo.

"I also grew fur!" Kipo said to everyone. "And my skin turned all scaly, and you don't see me freaking out." Kalena said to Kipo. "But I've seen a lot of weird stuff up here, but I've never seen anything like that." Benson said to Kipo and Kalena. "Nore have I. And I've studied the bio of must living things on the surface." Aqua said to Kipo and Kalena, looking at their arms. Then Kipo had an idea

"My dad's a scientist, maybe he'll know what's happening… If we can find him." Kipo said to everyone. "I thought your father was an astronomer." Aqua asked Kipo. "He's a little of everything. Stars are just my favorite topic." Kipo said to Aqua. "But until we find my dad, can we keep this to ourselves?" Kipo asked everyone.

"Of course." Benson said to Kipo. "Consierd how Wolf will react to this, sure." Aqua said to Kipo. "I don't want to hide my scales, but fine." Kalena said to Kipo. "Thanks. Group hug." Kipo said to everyone. Everyone then hugged each other. "Who knew turning 13 could be so epic?" Benson said to everyone, as the sun started to rise.

Meanwhile, with Wolf, Mandu, Dave, and Star. they were still hiding from Lemieux and Gerard, who were on their flamingo pacing back and forth. And while they did find mottled Dave muscle form, one of the flamingos ate it. But that was it, "Must've imagined it. Wanna move on?" Lemieux asked Gerard. "Yeah, this place is dead anyway." Gerard said to Lemieux, before the two of them took off.

Once Lemieux and Gerard were gone, everyone moved out of their hiding spot. "Who was he calling dead? I'm alive." Dave said to everyone.

Then everyone went into the shop. "Hello? Kipo's dad? You in here?" Wolf asked, while they entered the building. Then Dave walked into a mup. "Excuse me, young man. No, excuse me." Dave said to the mup. This made Wolf roll her eyes, and noticed something in the back. It was two T piled up into the shape of an X. Wolf moved to it, and moved the T's out of the way.

Under the T's was an envelope with the symbol of Aries on it. "What is it? Also, where are we?" Dave asked Wolf. "It's a ram's head. That's Kipo's birth sign, Aries." Wolf said to Dave, before opening the latter and reading it.

"Kipo, this will help you find the second clover. Love, Dad." Wolf said, reading the note. "Someone drew a spaghetti on the back." Dave said to Wolf. Wolf turned the letter over to see a map on it, with 3262, a face, a square, and a triangle on it. "It's a map, Grandpa. A map to the second clover. Which means, Kipo's people have a second burrow." Wolf said.

"Oh, my! This is the perfect gift. Our little butterscotch will be so happy. She can finally head back underground with her mole-people and forget we ever existed. I'll always remember her…" Dave said, before losing one of his entiany. This made Wolf think and sighed, before looking at the map.

A couple hours later everyone was back on the billboard, during that time, Dave transformed back into his baby form and started crying, and Benson and Aqua were trying to calm him down. "Shh-shh-shh! All right, let's stop the waterworks. I missed you too, buddy." Benson said to Dave. "Where's Lady when we need her?" Aqua asked.

That's when Lady jumped up from the ground, stanched Dave from Benson's arms, and went down. Benson and Aqua ran to the railing, to see Dave and Lady were gone. "Okay, where did she come from?" Aqua asked Benson. Benson just shrugged his shoulders.

Meanwhile Kipo and Kalena, explained what happened in Ratland, keeping the scales and fur to themselves. "We saw those Flamingo Riders, too. That may be why Scarlemagne's after you people. I think he wants to turn them into more of his wired Nobles." Wolf said to Kipo, with Mandu in Kipos hand, and Kalena. "Even my dad?" Kipo asked Wolf, getting scared. Kalena then hugged Kipo, trying to make her feel safe.

Everyone then looked at Kipo with a worried look on their faces. "It's going to be okay, Kipo. We'll find them." Kalena said to Kipo. "Right." Kipo said to Kalena, feeling better. "All right, Present time. This is supposed to be our birthday." Kipo said to Wolf and Kalean, as she broke the hug and got up, and pulled out something out her pocket.

Kipo then placed her hands behind her back, as Kalena and Wolf stood up. Kalena then threw her bag, and pulled something out of it, and held it behind her back. Wolf then pulled out the letter, but flinched when she felt something touching her. Then Wolf noticed it was Kipo, holding a flower hair clip. Then Kipo placed the hair clip into Wolf's hair.

"Because I noticed whenever you fight, your hair gets in your eyes." Kipo said to Wolf, with a smile on her face. "It's, uh, useful. Thanks." Wolf said to Kipo, touching the hair clip. "And for Kalena." Kipo said to Kalena, pulling something else out of her pocket. This thing was a small bracelet with a dragon head on it. "I found it in one of the cran games in Ratland." Kipo said to Kalena. Kalena took it and put it on her right arm right in front of her Z-ring.

"Thanks Kipo. now these are for you two." Kalena said, pulling out two small necklaces, each having a Yin-Yang symbol on it. Kalena held the black one to Wolf, and held the white one to Kipo. "I think these are perfect for you two. Both friends, yet totally the opposite of each other." Kalena said to Kipo and Wolf, making Wolf feel nervous. "How thoughtful." Kipo said to Kalena, as she and Wolf took the necklaces and put them around their necks, and put them under their shirts.

"Okay. Your turn, birthday triplet." Kipo said to Wolf. Mandu squealed thinking Wolf was going to give Kipo the letter. "Uh…" Wolf said, pulling out, not the letter, but the right sleeves of the leather jacket. "Ah, it's from the jacket I liked. I love it." Kipo said to Wolf, as she put it on. And while Kipo liked it, Mandu looked at Wolf with a confused look and a confused sounding snort.

"Thank you." Kipo said to Wolf. "Sweet sleeve! One man's trash…" Benson said to Kipo. "Is another girl's fashion statement!" Kipo said. "And this is for you Kalena." Wolf said, pulling a pair of chopsticks with a dragon carved on them. "I found it with the leather jacket. I thought you could use a weapon" Wolf said to Kalena. "A Wolf, these are chopsticks. They're not meant for fighting, they're meant for eating or this." Kalena said, putting it into the base of the ponytail.

"Well I don't know about you all, But I am ready to get back to cracking this clue. Come on. I feel like walking. It's nice to know it's not always deadly on the surface." Kipo said to everyone, before heading for the latter, and going down. "Maybe we can find one of those nice spots and rest. We have been up for a whole day and we deserve some rest." Aqua said to Kipo. as she, Kalena, and Benson followed Kipo down the latter.

This left Wolf all alone. Wolf then looked at the letter, and sighed. Once Wolf put the letter away, she turned and reached for her stick, but instead of grabbing her stick, she saw an angry Mandu gowling at her. "What are you looking at?" Wolf asked Mandu, sweating nervously. Wolf then groaned before turning around, with Mandu still mad and growling at her.

Hello everyone, I hope you like this chapter. Please follow or review if you like this story. I know it was a lot to take in, in this chapter. And sense the Mutes on Scarlemagne side don't know their Pokemon's attack. I won't make them say it. But for the record. Maira knows Triple Kick, Double Kick, Close Combat, and Triple Axel for moves. I picked these moves, because the fighting style of the Cheetah Boxers are basically five hits in one attack.

But before we go, the song the Cheetah Boxer sang, was a parody of the Song of Zarude from the Pokemon movie Secret of the jungle (Which I don't own). And I'm sorry if it was bad. I never changed or wrote a song before.

Also I know it's not something I commonly do in my stories. And I'm not trying to be rude or anything. I just thought since Kipo has a gay couple in it, I though why not have a lesbian couple as well, and here we are with a girl having a crush on another girl. Pulse it's not like I have a problem with same sex couples, I just don't do them that much in my stories.
