Hello everyone, welcome to season 3 of Kipo. just to let you know, work has started up again, so stories might take longer now.
As you've probably noticed, I posted my newest story The White Dragon's Case: The Crimson Love Letter. And I was waiting until after I was done posting its chapters before I posted this one.
Also after posting that story, the people reviewing it gave a new idea for a new triple crossover. This Triple Crossover will involve either Trainer of Vesperia or Fire Emblem Awakening of Galarain Trainers, going into the story of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, on a mission to retrieve a dangerous relic from the forces of evil, if they witch to return home to their families.
Now I'm asking if you guys want to see this story, and if you want characters from my Trainer of Vesperia or Fire Emblem Awakening of Galarain Trainers, to go into the story of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. So leave a review if you want to see this triple crossover, and have it mixed with either Vespera or Fire Emblem. (Fair warning, if you pick Fire Emblem you'll have to wait until Fire Emblem is over.)
Oh, and quick answer for a question Kal57HO asked in the last two The White Dragon's Case: The Crimson Love Letter. When I said "I'm going to leave it at that" I mean I don't want to say any more. The sequel I have in mind for The Black and White Dragon Prince, but it isn't just for them, or the people on Kumandra, alone, and I don't want to spoil my plans.
Now onto adventure 21.
Adventure 21
Everything Is Crabs And Trouble
Las Vasta
In Las Vasta, Kipo and Song were running around Las Vasta with Kipo in her Mega Form, and riding on Kipo's head was Kalena in her Ultra form, and flying around them was Virgo, and Dragalge wrapped around her.
"After We stopped Scarlemagne's reign of terror, we had a new task. Stop Dr. Emilia. Unfortunately, we had to find her first. And that wasn't so easy." Kipo said, as while she was a Mega, noticed some crabs out of place, but no sign of Emilia.
"We looked everywhere… for months. Somehow, she vanished with a thousand humans. We needed help to broaden our search. Puck and his TheaOtters went all over Las Vistas telling mutes of Dr. Emilia's evil plan." Kipo said. "Kipo monologuing isn't going to help us find her." Kalena said to Kipo.
Cactus Town
In Catus Town, Jamack, Puck, Toxic, Peofa, and the TheaOtters were performing a play for Cotton, Camille, The Umlaut Snakes, and Stakatakas.
"And now, with this science-y science book I stole from Kipo and Kalena, I have the key to reversing all of mute-kind with… The cure! Puck said, acting out a scene, while wearing a crude costume of Emilia.
Puck then started to rock out. "Run! Run! Run from the cure!" Some hamsters sang, as they ran around the stage. And while a hamster tried to reach a hand out towards one of the snakes, but it just hissed at the hamster.
"No, normally a cure is good, but not in this case! The evil doctor wants to send us back to the dark ages when Mutes couldn't speak, couldn't sing, couldn't play guitar!" Peck said to everyone, making Cotton scoff and chuckled. "Oh, no! I just shed myself!" Cotton said, not taking this seriously, and making Camille laugh a little.
"To whom. Will. We. Turn?" Puck as Jamack and the TheOtters join him on the stage. "Who? Who? Who? Who?" All of them sang, before turning around, showing their backs which had Kipo and Kalena's name spelled on the back of their clothes.
That's when a hamster handed Jamack a microphone. "She's a Mega Jaguar. She's an Ultra Dragon. Their names are Kipo and Kalena. And they're human, too!" Jamack sang, as cardboard cutouts of Kipo and Kalena moved behind him.
"They saved us once. They'll do it twice. Yes. One's into science. The other a fighter. They have a plan. Ohh. to set their sights. Against Emilia in defiance-uh! We ask you to join. Their Human Mute Ultimate Friendship Alliance!" Jamack sang, before dramatic gasping at the end.
But the Umlaut Snakes weren't moved by the performance, not that Puck noticed as he moved to them and was in his normal outfit. "The first meeting is tonight. The snack sign-up sheet is here. I'm bringing cups." Puck said to the Umlaut Snakes, holding up a paper with his name and cups writing on it.
"Ultimate Friendship Alliance? With cats? And wolves? And you gophers?" Cotton asked Puck, before scoffing, making Puck move nervously back. "Look, I'm gonna be real honest. You guys were about to be dinner and a show. And now that the show's over…" Camille said to Puck, before she and Cotton started to slither around Jamack, Puck, Toxic, Peofa, and the TheaOtters.
"So, you're not gonna sign up?" Jamack asked the Umlaut Snakes. "Told you we should've added pyrotechnics." Jamack said to Puck, before something exploded. HummingBombers!" Cotton said, as more explosions happened around them.
Las Vasta
In Las Vasta, Kipo, Kalena, Song, Virgo, and Dragalge were still looking around, as the sun started to set. "Sun's going down, let's go home." Kalena said to everyone. Kipo and Song nodded and they started to move towards The Timbercat Village, with Virgo following them.
Timbercat Village
By the time they got to the Timberact Village, night had started to cover the sky, and Kipo turned back into her human form, letting her and Kalena land on Song's shoulder, with Kalena turning back into her human form.
"Maybe we'll find Emilia tomorrow." Kipo said to everyone. "Yeah, she can't hide forever." Kalena said to Kipo, before Song raised a hand for them. Kipo and Kalena walked onto Song's hand, and Song lowered them to the ground.
Then Song lowered her head, and Kipo and Kalena hugged her cheeks. "Sweet dreams, Mom. See you in the morning." Kipo said to Song. "And I'll try and help you find yourself again in the morning." Kalean said to Song, before she and Kipo walked away with Virgo following them, and Dragalge returning to her Pokeball.
Once they were gone, Song laid down in an open area outside the village, and fell asleep.
While walking into the village, Kipo, Kalena, and Virgo walked into a group of Timbercats and Kartanas chopping away at the trees, with Molly noticing them first.
"Axes up Timbercats and Blades! The Mega Jaguar and Ultra Dragon are back from yonder." Molly said to everyone, making them all raise their axes, with a couple appearing right in front of them.
"Whoa! Uh, thanks!" Kipo said to everyone, as she nervously walked past them, chuckling a little. "Keep up the good work." Kalena said to everyone, as she walked past them, acting normally.
"I don't think I'm ever going to get used to this." Kipo said to Kalena. "You will, it just takes time, and not having the axes in the face." Kalena said to Kipo, as they kept walking.
That's when they ran into Wolf, Benson, Dave, Aqua, Mandu, Star, Groove, Lady, Cloak, and Kommo-o, with Mandu running up to Kipo with a stick. Kipo kneeled down and petted her.
"Anything?" Kipo asked everyone. "Nothin'." Wolf said to Kipo. We've checked every village, field, building, house, alley, cave, scary dark hole, welcoming dark hole-" Benson said to Kipo, but was interrupted by Aqua putting a hand over his mouth. "Just say everywhere we could think of. It'll save us so much time." Aqua said to Benson.
"But still no humans?" Kalena asked everyone. "No humans." Wolf said to Kalena. "But I did find this sweet bag." Benson said to Kipo and Kalena, as he pointed to a new chest bag that had a similar look to his old backpack. "That's not important. What's important is that we're running out of ideas about where Emilia could keep all those humans." Aqua said to Benson.
"It's like Emilia turned invisible." Dave said to everyone, before gasping. "She could be anywhere. Sneaking around here with the cure. She could be here right now! Get away from me, you science monster!" Dave said to everyone, as he looked around and panicked. That's when Mandu bit down on one of his arms, stopping his freak out with pain.
"Calm down Dave. Doubt Emilia is here or invisible. Emilia not the kind for subtly. If she had the cure by now, she wouldn't be so hard to find. She would be matching the humans all over the place curing all the mutes in sight. The fact that we haven't seen anything from her in months, means she still hasn't figured out the cure." Aqua said to everyone, as Lio and Jester walked up to everyone.
"OK, Kipo, Kalena. I've made enough dumplings to feed a small army. Side note, you two are doing the dishes." Lio said to them, making Kipo scoff. "Oh! I hope it's enough for all the new HMUFA members Jamack will bring back! We'll share a warm meal and then stop the invisible monster that wants to destroy everyone. HMUFA!" Kipo said to everyone, putting a hand in the middle of the group.
Then everyone else put a hand in the middle. "HUMFA!" Everyone said, as they raised their hands into the air, as Yumyan walked past them, carrying a ball of yarn. "Uh, what's a Huh-moo-fa?" Yumyan asked everyone.
"Remember? The Human Mute Ultimate Friendship Alliance." Benson said to Yumyan, as Kipo excitedly mouthing Bensons words. "Oh, right. I thought we all agreed that idea was crazy." Yumyan said to everyone.
"No, you said, "This is crazy. We all agree." Then you walked out." Wolf said to Yumyan. "And then we scheduled our first HMUFA meeting! It's tonight." Kipo said to Yumyan.
"I think he meant this is crazy and they all agree that it's crazy. Not that they're okay with it." Aqua said to everyone, but no one was listening.
Ooh, Yeah, Kipo. Tonight's our weekly Yarn Watching. We wing a ball back and forth and watch it as it slowly unravels into an irresistible pile on the ground." Yumyan said to everyone, as he pointed to the Timbercats pulling yarn up the trees. "I never miss it." Yumyan said to everyone, before leaving, chuckling a little.
"Better go check on those dumplings. Hasta la pasta." Lio said to everyone, before he started to leave. "Blace." Jester said to everyone, before walking away and following Lio.
"Het, Kipo, is HMUFA mandatory? Because something's come up for me. It's the yarn thing." Dave said to Kipo, as Mandu kept biting Dave, and chopped down on him. "Ow, Mandu! Again?! Quit it!" Dave said to Mandu.
"Sounds like the meeting is falling apart." A male voice said to Kipo, making everyone turn to see Javin and Maira walking up to them, with Javin wearing the cap Scarlemagne gave him over his left stump, but was wearing his normal Cheetah Boxer clothes, and giving Aqua a mean look. "I told you Kipo, without a reason, no ones going to join your Alliance." Javin said to Kipo.
"But I've been telling everyone about the danger Emilia is to everyone for months." Kipo said to Javin. "And that's the problem. It's been months, and there has been no sign of her. The mutes won't think she's a threat until she is one. In fact if it wasn't for the fact that I know how dangerous she is. I won't be on the same side of the city as her." Javin said to Kipo, pointing to Aqua.
"And I appreciate it. And I really need you at the meeting, your experience with Emilia will help convince the others about Emilia when they show up." Kipo said to Javin. "If they show up. You may have the respect of some of the mutes, but that doesn't mean they'll show up or listen to you." Javin said to Kipo.
"Don't worry about that. Jamack, Puck and his TheaOtters, and their Pokemon are on the case." Kipo said to Javin.
That's when a really hurt Jamack, Puck, Toxic, Peofa, and the TheaOtters came walking up to everyone. "Hey! Did you get the tons of recruits? Did they fall behind?" Kipo asked them, worried that they were with no one else.
But Jamack just sighed. "Also, what happened to you?" Kipo asked them, finally noticing their damage. Jamack sighed before he tried to talk, only to be stopped by Puck.
"There we were, moments from being gobbled up by those sinister, slithering serpents, when we were rudely heckled by HummingBombers." Puck said to Kipo. "I'm sorry? Heckled? They dropped a nectar bomb on us and kidnapped Camille!" Jamack said to Puck.
"Actually, that was good timing." Jamack said, remembering how Cotton and Camile were about to eat him.
"Wait, back up! The HummingBombers took Camille? Wh-Why would they do that?" Kipo asked everyone. "It's just the way things are. Mutes hate mutes from rival groups. Always have." Jamack said to Kipo.
"It's like I told you Kipo. Unless you give them a reason to follow you, no one will join your alliance." Javin said to Kipo.
"Oh, and uh, Kipo, we have some thoughts about our next performance. Ooh, and unraveling!" Jamack said to Kipo, before walking away. "Ah, high drama in its purest form. Let us partake." Puck said, as he, Toxic, Peofa, and the TheaOtters started to leave.
"So, if this meeting isn't happening, I have a date with Troy." Benson said to Kipo. "You made back-up plans?" Kipo asked Benson, a hurt look on her face. "No! I just promised Troy I'd watch his close-up magic if the meeting maybe didn't happen." Benson said to Kipo.
"Well, I didn't make any plans." Wolf said to everyone. "Nor did me and Aqua. After all, people may think your ideas are crazy, but they haven't let us down yet. Why start doubting now" Kalena said to Kipo. "Plus, Wyatt put a lot of effort in decorating the hall for your meeting. It would be rude not to attend." Aqua said to Kipo.
"I know. He's been such a big help in setting up HMUFA. Tho, I don't know why he's going the extra mile for HMUFA. I guess he must really believe in HMUFA." Kipo said to everyone, not noticing everyone, minus Benson who was trying to sneak away, giving her a "you seriously haven't realized he was doing it for you" look.
"Now, if we can just convince the HummingBombers that Dr. Emilia is a threat, they'll stop picking fights with the snakes." Kipo said to everyone, as Wolf stopped Benson from leaving, making Benson sigh. "And just like that, my date night- whoosh- disappeared." Benson said to everyone, as they started to leave.
"You're wasting your time, Kipo. The HummingBomber won't take you seriously without something to back it up." Javin said to Kipo. "You never know until you try." Kipo said to Javin, as she kept walking away. This made Javin huff before he and Maira walked away in a different direction than the gang.
Meanwhile, Dave was watching some Timberacts unwind some yarn, getting mesmerized. Lady rolled her eyes, before grabbing Dave. "Aww, it was almost at the end! What happened at the end?" Dave asked Lady, as Lady walked away. "Pheromosa." Lady said, sounding like a "don't care".
Las Vasta
In Las Vasta, four crying HummingBombers were sitting on an old electrical tower, throwing explosives around, as Kipo ran up to them in her Mega form, with the rest of the gang riding on her head.
Kipo then jumped into the air, and turned back into her human form, letting all of them fall a little bit onto the top of the tower, striking a pose when they landed. "Hey." Dave said to everyone.
"Cool trick. I've got one, too." A male HummingBomber said to everyone, before throwing a nectar bomb, shaking the tower. This made Dave gasp, and moved to take a set next to the HummingBombers.
"Wow!" Dave said to everyone, as Easy sniffed before looking at everyone. "What're you doing in our airspace, groundies? We already told you we're not joining your stupid Friendship Alliance." Easy said to everyone.
"OK. Well, it's not stupid, it's ultimate, and-" Kipo said to Easy, but was interrupted by an explosion. "Whoa!" Kipo said, as the tower shook. "Just let us bomb our pain away in peace." Easy said to Kipo, before Kipo took a seat next to him.
"Oh. Sorry to interrupt your sad bomb party, but we were looking for our friend, Camille. She's about yay long. Scaly. She's a snake. Should've led with snake." Kipo said to Easy, as she used her paws to try and give an estimate of her length, before realizing she should have just said snake.
"Kipo focus." Kalena said to Kipo. "Right." Kipo said to Kalena. "Anyway. You didn't, perchance, kidnap her?" Kipo asked Easy, as Easy started to sob loudly. "Not tonight. We've been busy crying and chucking bombs into the forest." Easy said to Kipo, still sobbing, as he threw another bomb, surprising Kipo.
"Are you guys OK?" Kipo asked the Easy. "So, someone else took Camille?" Wolf asked everyone. "Who would do that?" Benson asked everyone. "Are you really asking that?" Aqua asked Wolf and Benson, as the large HummingBomber sobbed really loud.
"The Newton wolves! Guess it wasn't enough that they ate Boom-Boom!" The big HummingBomber said, as he pulled out another veil. "This one's for you, Boom-Boom!" Easy said, crying, as the other HummingBomber tossed the veil.
This made Dave gasp with joy. "This one's also for you, Boom-Boom." Dave said, before stealing a veil from HummingBombers and throwing it. "Dave, you don't even know her." Benson said to Dave.
"But I got to throw a bomb. Don't take this away from me." Dave said to Benson, crossing his arms. "It should worry me that you want to throw bombs." Aqua said to Dave, as she, Wolf, and Benson gave him a flat look.
"Why would the Newton Wolves eat Boom-Boom?" Kipo asked the HummingBombers. "It's the way things are. Wolves are vicious. They did it for no reason!" Easy said to Kipo. "Yeah! Right after we pooped on their new telescope. The next morning, boom! Boom-Boom was gone." The large HummingBomber said to everyone.
"Wait, you didn't actually see them take her?" Kipo asked the HummingBombers. "Never saw 'em come, never saw 'em leave. Life is but a walking shadow." Easy said, before cobbing again.
"Two mutes are missing under mysterious circumstances. They're blaming the wolves, but I think somebody else is behind all these disappearances." Kipo said to everyone. "Emilia." Everyone but Aqua, said at the same time.
"Emilia!" Kipo said, sounding like it was a shocking reveal, and an explosion behind her made it seem bigger, but Aqua had a flat look on her face. "Stop acting like this was some shocking revelation. Of course it's Emilia, who else would be subtle when it comes to taking a mute?" Aqua asked everyone.
Las Vistas Observatory
A few minutes later, Kipo ran up to the Observatory in her Mega form, with the gang in her hair. And once they reached outside the Observatory, Kipo turned back into her human form, and the Newton Wolves came out of the Observatory.
Then the Newton Wolves snarled at them, not happy to see them, but while they didn't start fighting, they did circle everyone. But the Newton Wolves did keep a little distance, with everyone but Kipo in a fighting stance, and Kalena in her Ultra form.
"Hey-hey, we're just here to talk." Kipo said to White Billions. "You may have saved our lives at Aurum, but we didn't forget about the telescope, or that face that you're part, ugh, cat." White Billions said to Kipo, as Grey Billions came running out of the Observatory, screaming as he ran through the group, not hurting anyone.
Then everyone watched, as Grey Billions started to spin around, holding out his arm. "You're lucky Billions is working." White Billions said to everyone. "Leave me to my research!" Grey Billions said to everyone.
"What is he doing?" Aqua asked White Billions, as White Billions sighed. "He's trying to prove that dark matter exists inside those moon rocks." White Billions said to everyone. "Science is weird." Dave said to everyone.
"What do you want, Kipo?" Grey Billions asked Kipo, as he kept spinning. "We're looking for Boom-Boom, and the HummingBombers think you ate her." Kipo said to White Billions. "Ha! First, they soil our new telescope, and now they're spreading lies!" White Billions said to everyone.
"We are predators! But lately, I feel like prey!" Grey Billions said, as he kept spinning around. "So, you didn't eat Boom-Boom? How 'bout Camille? She's a snake." Kipo asked White Billions. "Yes! Led with snake." Kipo said to herself.
"No. The last person we ate was- Wast it Jeff?" White Billions said to Kipo, before asking another Newton Wolf. The Newton Wolf nodded yes. "Yeah. Jest the squirrel. But Jeff was three days ago. And now I'm feeling peckish." White Billions said to Kipo, hinting towards wanting to eat them.
But that's when the lines around Kalena's mouth lit up, and she growled at them while fire was flowing a little bit out of her mouth. This made the Newton wolves whimper and back off.
"So. A snake is missing. A bird is also missing. Does a wolf happen to be missing?" Kipo asked White Billions, smirking, knowing the answer already. "No." White Billions said to Kipo.
"Dang it!" Kipo said, not expecting that answer. "I mean, uh, good!" Kipo said to White Billions. "Someone did steal our centrifuge." Grey Billions said to Kipo, as he kept spinning.
"Oh. My Gosh!" Kipo said, putting her hands on her checks. "What. Is. That?" Dave asked everyone.
"A machine that uses centrifugal forces to separate fluids, gasses, or liquid based on density. I've only seen it a couple times, and each time, the machine was separating things in the blood." Aqua said to Dave.
"Which you would need if you're perfecting a genetic cure!" Kipo said to everyone. "I know who stole your centrifuge!" Kipo said to White Billions. "So do we. The Timbercats." White Billions said to Kipo.
"Wait, what? The Timbercats would never!" Kipo said to White Billions. "Plus, why would they take a centrifuge? They're not the science type." Aqua asked White Billions.
"It is an established scientific fact that cats like spinny things!" Grey Billions said to everyone, as he still kept spinning behind them. "No. I'm sure it was Dr. Emilia!" Kipo said to White Billions.
"Dr. Emilia? Do you mean? That fake villain from that weird play?" White Billions asked Kipo. "I love that frog's voice made me feel things!" Grey Billions said Kipo. "I'm sure Jamack would appreciate it." Kalena said to Grey Billions.
"Oh, she's real." Wolf said to White Billions. "Yeah, she's a nightmare." Benson said to White Billions. "A nightmare would be more welcoming than Emilia." Aqua said to Benson.
"And if you come back to Timberact Village, I can prove that the cats didn't steal from you. If I'm wrong, I help you get your stuff back. If I'm right, you join HMUFA and we get your stuff back together." Kipo said to everyone.
White Billions thought about it for a bit.
Timbercat Village
In the Timberact Village, as Song kept sleeping outside, as in the main hall, Newton Wolves, Umlaut Snakes and Stakatakas, HummingBombers, the Timbercats and Kartana, Javin and Maria where gathered, with the main hall decorated with Light Crystals of the groups colors, as well as massive paintings that were like banners of the groups. And in the middle of the hall was Kipo and Kalena, with the humans and their Pokemon by the main entrance.
"Welcome! I've invited you all here to the first ever meeting HMUFA! The Human Mute Ultimate Friendship Alliance!" Kipo said to everyone.
That's when a young Timbercat messed with a young Umlaut Snake tail, earning a hiss from the Umlaut Snake.
"OK, first up, the secret handshake! It starts as a simple high-five, but then-" Kipo said to everyone, but was interrupted by Yumyan. "You'd better just get right to it, Kipo." Yumyan said to Kipo.
"Yeah, where's Camille? Do you know how hard it is to play without a lead guitarist?" Cotton asked Kipo. "Where's Boom-Boom?" The large HummingBomber asked Kipo. "Hand over our centrifuge!" Grey Billions said to everyone. "Who shed in my chair?" Molly asked everyone, as she pulled out some Umlaut Snake's shed skin.
This started a lot of small arguments. The only ones not arguing were Yumyan and Javin. "And the meeting lasted a minute. That's a minute more than I thought it would last." Javin said to Kipo.
Kipo got annoyed and turned her head into its Mega jaguar form and roared, shutting everyone up and looking at her with a confused look. Then Kipo started to lose her balance. "Kipo turns back to normal before you break something." Kalena said to Kipo, as she popped out her extra arms, and used them to help Kipo stabilize herself.
Kipo and Kalena then turned back to their normal forms. "Everything's fine." Kipo said to everyone. "So, obviously, we need to clear a few things up. You're all blaming each other, but you're all innocent. The HummingBombers didn't take Camille, The Newton Wolves didn't eat Boom-Boom, and the Timbercats didn't steal the centrifuge." Kipo said to everyone.
"Uh, Kipo?" Yumyan said to Kipo. "not now. I'm kinda in the middle of something." Kipo whispered to Yumyan. "So, you see-." Kipo said to everyone, but was interrupted by Yumyan. "We absolutely took it." Yumyan said to Kipo. "I'm sorry, what's that?" Kipo asked Yumyan.
"We took it. The Center fudge." Yumyan said to Kipo, as some Timbercats brought a machine into the room. "What- Why?" Kipo asked Yumyan, stammering. "We used it in the unraveling. And the re-raveling. And then, we just watched it spin." Yumyan said to Kipo, as it started to spin, with strings sticking out of it.
"It was so spinny." Yumyan said, giggling a little, as his attention was on the machine. "I knew it! Cats like spinny things!" Grey Billions said to everyone. "Billions, I'm about to make like the Big Bang, expand into a high-temperature state, and explode!" White Billions said to Grey Billions.
"Hey! Exploding is our thing!" Easy said to White Billions. "First you steal Boom-Boom and now you steal our thing?" The large HummingBomber asked the Newton Wolves. "Just stop stealing, period!" Kipo said to everyone, with a serious tune in her voice, making everyone focus on her.
"What is wrong with you all?" Kipo asked everyone, as Lio and Jester walked into the main hall with Lio and Jester holding some food. "Sorry I'm late. What did I miss?" Lio asked everyone. "Actually, nothing. The brawl is just about to start." Aqua said to Lio, as he noticed all the mutes yelling at each other. "Uh-oh." Lio said, before eating some of the food. "This is about to get ugly." Benson said to everyone.
"So, why did you feather freaks bomb our club?" Cotton asked the HummingBombers. "Oh, we didn't. But if we did, we'd be doing the world a favor!" Easy said to Cotton, getting in her face. Cotton hisses and pushes Easy away.
"HummingBombers, in formation!" Easy said to the HummingBombers, as they formed up around him.
"By Einstein's slide-rule, we shall mop the floor with you." White Billions said to Yumyan. That's when Kipo got in the middle of the fight.
"Wait! This is what Dr. Emilia wants! If you have to fight someone, fight her! O- Or at least let me show you the handshake!" Kipo said to everyone, as Molly walked up to her. "Sorry, Kipo. Your words are good, but not as good as settling things with tooth and claw." Molly said to Kipo, before pulling Kipo out of the way.
"All right! You're in our house, so here's the rules! There are no rules! Ah!" Molly said to the mutes, before all the mutes started a brawl.
And during the drawl, Kalena and Javin grabbed Kipo, and dragged Kipo out of the main hall, with the humans and all of their Pokemon following them.
"I just made everything worse, didn't I?" Kipo asked everyone, as Kalena and Javin let her go. "Kipo, don't be so hard on yourself. They wanted to fight each other anyway. You just put them all in the same room." Wolf said to Kipo, earning a mean look from Kalena.
"Kipo, maybe it's time to consider that HMUFA won't work." Wolf said to Kipo. "I think the Alliance was a beautiful dream that the world just isn't ready for." Benson said to Kipo.
"No. We need to help to stop Dr. Emilia." Kipo said to everyone. "Kipo's right. It's been months, and we're no closer to finding her. She'll have the cure any day now, and then she'll be unstoppable. Ohh, I hate that woman!" Lio said to everyone.
"We stopped Scarlemagne by ourselves. We can find a way to stop Emilia, too." Wolf said to everyone. "Emilia isn't like Scarlemagne. Scarlemagne mainly used brute force. But Emilia is smart, she won't attack us in the open. She'll have the mutes fight each other while curing them." Aqua said to everyone, before something came out of the main hall, forcing everyone to duck.
"Assuming that they don't rip each other apart before that." Aqua said to everyone, as Benson yawned. "So, is it OK if I get some sleep now?" Benson asked Kipo. "Yeah. It's been a long night. You guys get some rest. I should try to break that up." Kipo said to everyone.
"I'll stick around and help. You might need someone to help knock some sense into everyone." Kalena said to Kipo, punching her right fist into her left hand. "Please don't." Kipo said to Kalena.
"See you all bright and early." Kipo said to everyone, as she held out a hand, and everyone but Javin and Maria put a hand on Kipo's hand.
"HMUF-ee, well, I guess just "yay us"." Kipo said to everyone, as they raised their hands, before Benson, Wolf, Aqua, Dave, Mandu, and their Pokemon walked away. "Why don't ya come back home? Something tells me you two are not going to be able to fix that tonight." Lio said to Kipo and Kalena.
"Question is, can I fix it at all?" Kipo asked Lio, before walking away with a sad look on her face, and with Virgo following her. "I'll go and try to cheer her up." Kalena said, as she and Kommo-o went after Kipo.
"Think they can pull this HUMFA thing off?" Lio asked Javin. "Honestly, no. Throughout our history, any kind of alliances quickly fall apart, and each time it's because of the fact that we all think so differently and are stuck in the old ways. They need to overcome the old way of thinking if they want HUMFA to be more than just a hopeful dream." Javin said to Lio.
Meanwhile some Mega Crabs heard the fighting in the distance, and started to move towards the fighting.
Back at the village, Kipo, Kalena, and their Pokemon walked up to the glass box that Scarlemagne was locked up in, high up in the trees, and with Kipo carrying a plate that had a lid over the plate.
While walking to Scarlemagne's cell, they could still hear the fighting in the main hall, and this made Kipo sad. "Hmm. Sounds like it isn't going too well down there. Oh, no. The secret handshake didn't fix two hundred years of malcontent? Shocking." Scarlemagne said to them, his back facing them, laughing, as they walked up to them.
"No need to rub it in, brother." Kalena said to Scarlemagne. "You know what, go ahead and laugh. But if Dr. Emilia succeeds, you disappear, too." Kipo said to Scarlemagne. "Fine. Here's some advice." Scarlemagne said to Kipo, as he turned around to them.
"Didn't ask for any." Kipo said to Scarlemagne. "Plus, I don't think your advice is anything helpful, brother." Kalena said to Scarlemagne. "Too bad. I'm stuck here with my thoughts, and you two are the only ones who visit. If you need the Mutes to help you with Emilia, make them fear you two." Scarlemagne said to them.
"No!" Kipo and Kalena said to Scarlemagne at the same time. "It's the only way to get them to work together. They're savage brutes. They either dominate or cower. The Mega Jaguar and Ultra Dragon could get them in line." Scarlemagne said to them.
"Hey, I only use the Ultra Dragon to make mutes back off, but I haven't used them to make mutes follow me." Kalena said to Scarlemagne. "And I don't want to do that. I want them to want to help me. I- I'm not you." Kipo said to Scarlemagne.
"Well, good luck protecting them with high-fives and smiles, then." Scarlemagne said to them, making Kipo and Kalena walk away. "Wait. You didn't give me my food. Put it in the slot please." Scarlemagne said to Kipo, making them stop and turn around to see Scarlemagne pointing to a slot at the bottom of his cell.
Kipo looked at the food, before sliding it into the slot. Once the food was in his cell, he lifted the lid and found it was pancakes. "Ugh! Pancakes again? Are you serious? Don't you people eat anything else?" Scarlemagne asked them, as they ran away.
Virgo grabbed Kommo-o's back and flew down, while Kalean summoned her wings and glided down, while Kipo used her paws and tail to jump down using the yarn balls as landing spots.
All of them landed outside the main wall where the fighting was still raging on. But before going in, Kipo looked at her paws, before putting them away, and walking away. "Kipo, where are you going?" Kalena asked Kipo, as she retracted her wings.
"I don't know how I'm going to fix this. I can't even get a word in." Kipo said to Kalena, as Kalean read some rustling, and turned her head to something below.
"Maybe instead of focusing on the old one set in their ways. Look to the young, who haven't found their way yet." Kalena said to Kipo, confusing Kipo. That's when Kipo heard laughter and looked down. This made Kipo gasp with excitement.
Later Kipo and Kalean were dragging a sleepy gang and their Pokemon threw the village, with Lio, Javin, and their Pokemon in tow.
"Ugh, Kipo. I was in the middle of a great dream. Troy sawed a lady in half and now I'll never know if he magic'd her back together. I hate cliffhangers." Benson said to everyone. "You know that it's just a slight of hand, she was never cut in half." Aqua said to Benson. "Way to ruin the dream." Benson said to Aqua.
"Guys, look!" Kipo said, as they reached a spot where the kids of the Newton Wolves, Umlaut Snakes, HummingBombers, the Timbercats were playing. "So, it starts with a high-five- heeyaw- But then you bump elbows- grunt- and then you turn around and bump tails- yaw!" A kid Timbercat said to a kid Newton wolf, as they performed a high five.
"Eee! Secret handshake!" Kipo said, getting out and shaking Kalena. "Can you please calm down?" Kalena asked Kipo. "Their parents are all sworn enemies, but they're not!" Kipo said to everyone.
"Can't believe I'm about to say this. Maybe we should give HMUFA another shot." Wolf said to everyone. "You know what this means? Maybe that is how things are, but this is how things could be." Kipo said to everyone, pointing to both the main hall and the kids. "Wow. I heard that here and here." Dave said to everyone, as he pointed to his head and heart.
"I think HMUFA is bigger than just stopping Dr. Emilia. It's a forever thing." Kipo said to everyone, before gasping. "It's HMUF-FA!" Kipo said to everyone. "And I thought HMUFA was an odd word." Javin said to Kipo.
"Yeah. That sounds weird. Let's make the second F silent. But it stands forever." Kipo said to everyone, before putting her arms around the gang, pulling them into a hug.
"So, it's the high-five, and then under the leg, and- what was after that?" Lio asked the kids, getting everyone's attention. "Um, black flip." The Timberact kid said to Lio. "OK." Lio said, before trying a backflip, only to end up on his back. This just made everyone laugh, as the kids dog pile Lio.
That's when they heard a bang, and the fun stopped. "Whoa!" Lio said, as everyone froze. "What was that?" Benson asked everyone. "It was probably just The K's mom getting up to stretch her legs. I wouldn't worry about it." Dave said to everyone, as Lady looked up.
Lady said nothing, and took a step to the side. That's when a massive pincer came down on Dave, crushing him. As the pincer retracted, everyone looked up to see the Mega Crab standing over them.
"Mega Crab! Where'd that thing come from?" Benson asked everyone, as they all had a shocked look on their face. "Someone do something!" Kipo said to everyone, as she held her hands on her check.
"Kipo, that's your job." Wolf said to Kipo, as she and Kalena gave her a flat look. "Yeah, so quick panicking, and get to it." Kalena said to Kipo, as she wrapped her arms around Kipo's shoulders.
"Right-right-right-right-right." Kipo said, before jumping up and turning into her Mega form, with Kalena turning into her Ultra form while on Kipo's head.
Kipo forced the Mega Crab back, and Virgo flew up to be at the right side of Kipo's head. But the Mega Crab screeched, making three more Mega Crabs appear out of the trees. "MOTHER!" Kalena yelled to Song, as Kipo roared, waking Song up, and she got ready for a fight. Kipo, Kalena, and Song then roared at the Mega Craps, before they attacked.
In the main halls, they heard the roaring and ran outside. On one side they saw Kipo forcing a Mega Crab back with Virgo firing a purple pulse of energy with a dragon head into one of its eyes, before running away from another Mega Crab
And on the other side, Kalena was on Song's shoulder, and after Kalena made meteorites fall all over the Mega Crab, Song body slammed the Mega Crab away.
"I've never seen anything like this before." Yumyan said to everyone. "Yeah, good luck with that." Easy said to Yumyan. "We'll leave you to deal with your carbs." White Billions said to Yumaym, before The Newton Wolves, and HummingBombers left the Timbercats to face the Mega Carbs alone, abandoning their kids as well.
"Coward!" Yumyan said to them. "What about you? You're not gonna run off?" Yumyan asked Cotton. "I don't run away from a fight." Cotton said to Yumyan. "Yumyan protects you all!" Yumyan said, raising his axes.
"How are we gonna fight a Mega Crab?" Molly asked Yumyan, before the place shook from the fighting. That's when Cotton noticed some yarn next to them. "Wiat! We can use this." Cotton said to everyone, as she moved onto the yarn.
This made Yumyan gasp. "How dare you!" Yumyan said to Cotton. But that's when the place shook, causing Yumyan and Molly to fall to the floor. "Fine. Yumyan loans you yarn.
That's when a Mega Crab tried attacking the kids. "STAY AWAY FROM THEM!" Javin yelled, as he started to glow brown energy, and crossed his arm over his chest.
"For Flash! For Asuga! FOR THE CHEETAH BOXER! ALL-OUT PUMMELING!" Javin yelled, before rapidly punching the air in front of him. The energy flowed out of him and into Maria.
"Pheromosa!" Maria said, before she kicked and punched while standing still. Each kick and punch shot out brown energy fist and feet.
The fists and feets hit all over the Mega Crab, making small cracks appear all over its exoskeleton, before Maria lunged up at the Mega Crab hitting it in the middle of the head, making it move back a little, but it only stunned it for a couple seconds.
"Looks like it's our time Groove!" Benson said to Groove, as he crossed his arms and glowed yellow. "You move it to the right!" Benson sang with a silly voice, as he twisted his body to the right. "You move it to the left!" Benson sang with a silly voice as he twisted his body to the left. "And you bring the thunder!" Benson sang with a silly voice, as he moved his left arm under his chin and up the right side of his head, and his left hand bent down in a bolt-like shape. Then the yellow energy flowed from Benson and into Groove.
"XURKITREE!" Groove said, as he let out a massive bolt of electricity and threw it like a spear at the Mega Crab. When the bolt hit the Mega Crab it went into it, and caused a large amount of electricity to start bursting out from inside its body, breaking its exoskeleton.
"My turn." Aqua said as she crossed her arms, and glowed dark purple. "With strong acid!" Aqua said, as she dangled her left arm. "Wash away all that infects!" Aqua said, as she raised her right hand, like she was dripping liquid. "ACID DOWNPOUR!" Aqua said, as she stepped forward with her left foot, and kneeled with her right leg, and spread out her arm, with her right hand held up, and her left hand held down. Then the dark purple energy flowed from Aqua and into Cloak.
"NIHILEGO!" Cloak said, as she let out a massive wave of acid, and even some acid rain. The acid dissolved the exposed parts of the Mega Crab, causing it to fall apart as it died.
This caused the Mega Crab's remains to fall towards everyone. "I did not think that through." Aqua said to everyone.
"You think?!" Wolf asked Aqua, as she crossed her arms, glowing black. "Pain from my soul." Wolf said, falling over like she was the walking dead. "Rise up." Wolf said, getting up in a creepy way. "And devour all who hurt me!" Wolf said, reaching for the sky above and in front of her. "BLACK HOLE ECLIPSE!" Wolf yelled. Then the black energy flowed from Wolf and into Star.
"KARTANA!" Star said, as he formed a black ball in front of him, and then threw it up into the air. The ball expanded, and a black hole appeared above them. This caused the remains of the Mega Crab to move up into the air away from everyone before getting sucked into black hole, along with some leaves and dirt from the area around them.
Once all of the pieces of the Mega Crab were in the black hole, the black hole exploded, causing Mega Crab goo to land on the trees that were around the black hole.
"Gross, but one down, and far too many to go!" Aqua said to everyone, as Kipo was forced to the ground by a mega Crab. "Kipo!" Wolf said to Kipo, as a tree fell behind them. "Now what?" Aqua asked, as they looked up to see the Kartanas chopping down trees.
Then the Stakataka picked up the fallen trees and planted them back into the ground. Then the Timbercats and Umlaut Snakes worked together to turn the cut trees into spikes.
Then the Timberacts cut free the yarn, and let the Umlaut Snakes take the yarn and set up some trip lines in front of the spikes.
While setting up the trap, a crab almost crushed Yumyan, making Yumyan scream. But before Yumyan was crushed, Cotton tackled Yumyan and saved his life. "Thanks, Snake." Yumyan said to Cotton, smirking. "Don't mention, Cat." Cotton said to Yumyan, smirking as well.
From his cell, Scarlemagne saw Cotton save Yumyan out of kindness not because Kipo ordered her, which confused him a little. But that's when the cell shock and it caused Scarlemagne to drop his food, breaking the plate. This made Scarlemagne sign.
On the ground, baby Dave was walking around, when a Mega Crab tried to step on him. But Lady grabbed him and bounced into the air, getting out of the way of the crabs.
With Song, as she forces a Mega Crab away, more Mega Crabs show up and grab her, making Song roar. As Kalena kept firing Dragon Pulses at the Mega Crabs, Kipo pind a Mega Crab and turned to help Song. but that's when another Mega Crab grabbed Kipo's tail and threw her into the village.
"Kipo! Look this way! Kipo! Kipo! Over here!" everyone in the village said to Kipo, getting her attention, as they finished the trap. Kipo noticed the trap, and understood the plan.
Kipo ran to help Song, with Virgo and some Mega Crabs behind her. Then Kipo swiped and bit the Mega Carbs off Song. Then Kipo and Song ran towards the trap, with Kalena still on Song's shoulder, and Virgo next to Kipo, and all the Mega Carbs following her.
Once Kipo and Song reached the trap, Kalena jumped onto Virgo, and Virgo flew away, as Song and Kipo did a long leap over the trap, impressing everyone. But all the Mega Carbs fell into the trap and tripped on the yarn, falling right onto the spikes, skewering them, and finishing them.
This grossed everyone out a little. "Oh, sick. That was gross." Yumyan said to everyone.
Later, everyone was celebrating their victory in the Main hall, and holding a feast of Mega Crab meat. And in the middle of the hall was one of the Mega Crab legs, and Yumyan climbed up on it.
"Everyone, I have an announcement! The HMUFA, which we all agree isn't crazy, has new members. You'll never believe who." Yumyan said to everyone.
"Duh, it's us!" Cotton said to everyone, as she ate with Kipo, Kalena, and the Gang and their Pokemon. Every mute then cheered for Umlaut Snakes, as Javin walked up to Kipo, holding some food.
"First order of business, we'll help Cotton find Camille." Kipo said to everyone. "Until then, Yumyan Babysits you all!" Yumyan said to everyone, as the kids moved to hug him, making Yumyan fall down laughing.
While eating, Kipo noticed Mandu's teeth were longer and sharper as she was biting some crab scales. "Look! Mandu tusks are coming in." Kipo said to everyone, as she gasped. "So, that's why she's been cranky all day. I was really convinced it was all Dave's fault somehow." Dave said to Kipo.
"I'm sure there was something he did that made her start chewing on him." Aqua said to Benson, as Javin walked up to everyone. "Congratulations Kipo, you got these groups to work together without strong arming them. Didn't think it was possible." Javin said to Kipo.
"Thanks Javin, care to be the next new member?" Kipo asked Javin. "No." Javin said to Kipo, not even thinking about it for a second. "What? Why not? I thought you wanted to stop Emilia?" Kipo asked Javin.
"I do, but there's two reasons. The main one, I'm the only Cheetah Boxer here. I alone have no right to say the Cheetah Boxers will join HMUFA. And the other reason is, while I got rid of my desire to kill Aqua, I want nothing to do with her, or even be around her. Once Emilia is finished, me and Maria are leaving, maybe I'll find the other surviving Cheetah Boxers, maybe I'll find a place and live what's left of my life in peace, maybe I'll just wander around until the end of my days. In either case, I'll never see this horrid woman again!" Javin said to Kipo, pointing to Aqua, with a very angry look on his face before walking away.
"You shouldn't let him talk to you like that." Wolf said to Aqua. "Leave him alone. He's right, I am a horrid woman, and I deserved his hate." Aqua said to Wolf. "You're not a horrid woman, and you don't deserve hate. And once you show Javin that, he'll be nicer to you." Kalena said to Aqua. "I appreciate the comforting words, but it's going to take a miracle to make him not hate me any more." Aqua said to Kalena.
Wolf kept eating, before a thought crossed her mind. "This is delicious. But what was all this seafood doing in the forest?" Wolf asked everyone. "Actually you have a point. Crabs may come on land every now and then, but they're generally within a few miles of the sea, they shouldn't be this far inland." Aqua said to everyone.
"Yeah, I saw another crab by the highway earlier when we were looking for-" Kipo said to everyone, before gasping and dropping her food. Kipo then froze. "Were you gonna say something else?" Wolf asked Kipo. "Yeah, what's your realization?" Kalena asked Kipo.
"What's the only thing that could drive Mega crabs from their homes?" Kipo asked everyone, as Aqua came to a realization. "A sonic Emitter on a ship! Emilia found another ship for her base after I sunk the first one!" Aqua said to everyone, as she banged her fist into the table.
"That's why we haven't been able to find Dr. Emilia on the surface." Wolf said to everyone. "Because she's at sea!" Kipo said to everyone. "Then what are we doing here? Let's get some Dragonflies and go find her!" Kalena said to everyone, as she suddenly stood up.
That's when Puck, Toxic, Peofa, and the TheaOtters came running into the main hall. "Puck, what is it?" Kipo asked Puck. "A most dastardly development, I'm afraid. It's Jamack! During the scuffle with the mega crustacea, he went missing. We found this on the forest floor. I fear the worst." Puck said to Kipo, holding up a dark blue dart.
Aqua aggressively took the dart out of Puck's hand, and looked at it with an angry look on her face. "Emilia!" Aqua said, rage in her voice, before crushing the dart with her fist.
"Kipo. Kalean. What if she's not just kidnapping Mutes? What if she's gathering test subjects?" Lio asked them. "What is she's close to finding the cure? And she has our friends!" Kipo said to everyone.
Emilia's Boat
In the deaths of a large boat, Emilia had Camille, Boom-Boom, Jamack in glass boxes, but Emilia walked past them and to her favorite test subjects at the end.
One was a terrified little male Cheetah Boxer wearing a green wrestling singlet, and he was clinging to a very worried young adult female Cheetah Boxer wearing a tan wrestling singlet.
These two Cheetahs were Flash and Aguya. Javin's little brother and the female Javelin loved.
Emilia took great pleasure in the look of terror/worry on Flash and Aguya's faces, and smirked at them.
