Moana, Maui, Ruby, Chelsea, and the Bad Guys returned to the lemurs with the children. The lemurs were thrilled to have the children back and they were very excited to hear that the Fossas had been beaten and there was a pretty good chance they wouldn't bother them anymore. The thankful lemurs threw a party for their heroes, which they enjoyed, though Wolf still managed to stay a bit on task.
"So about introducing us to the guardian and putting in a good word." Said Wolf.
"Don't worry will put in many good words. The guardian will know about what you did for us and she'll help you with whatever your quest is. Now party!" Said Julien.
The party went on and the honored guest enjoyed themselves. Wolf and the other Bad Guys had to admit it felt a little good to do something nice for other beings. If the Bad Guys got more treatment like this, they might consider doing more good deeds, but for now they were still on a job. The party went on for a few more hours before everyone decided to call it a night. Maui, Moana, Ruby, and Chelsea fell fast asleep along with the lemurs. Most of the Bad Guys went to sleep except for Wolf and Snake who made sure no one was awake and paying attention to them before sneaking away and headed back to the beach.
Snake pulled off his hat and pulled out a small onyx mirror and handed it to Wolf. Wolf rubbed the mirror and it glowed for a few seconds before the face of Tentacular appeared in it.
"What is your status Wolf?" Asked Tentacular.
"Everything is running smoothly. We will soon have the first key and then will move onto the second one." Said Wolf.
"Plus we have Maui and his little band assisting us. Thanks for alerting us about them by the way." Said Snake.
"Have you located the heart?" Asked Tentacular.
"Not yet, but will get it for you don't worry. Right now we're being buddy buddy with Maui and his friends and when the time is right, will snatch the heart from them and will bring both it and the Instrument of Destruction to you." Said Wolf.
"Very good. I still have Gut and his crew trailing behind you encase some extra muscle is needed, but I have faith you will be able to get both the heart and the Instrument of Destruction with no trouble." Said Tentacular.
"You can bet on it. We're the best when it comes to stealing." Said Snake.
"I know and I will pay you greatly for your services. Good luck to you." Said Tentacular before his face vanished from the mirror.
"Soon the world will know our names." Said Wolf handing the mirror back to Snake.
"Two legendary treasures will be ours." Said Snake hiding the mirror in his hat.
"Shame we have to steal from Maui and his friends." Said Wolf.
"You're not getting soft are you?" Asked Snake.
"Of course not. I just really like them that's all." Said Wolf.
"I guess they're alright, but a job is a job." Said Snake.
"Right focus on the end goal." Said Wolf.
The two returned to the others and they went to sleep.
The next day Moana and her friends and allies woke up along with the lemurs. Maurice instructed them to head to the beach to meet the guardian, who had already been summoned. The group headed to the beach where some lemurs were blowing some conch shells loudly. For several seconds nothing happened and then the water near the shore began to bubble and push onto the land as something very large began to make it's way to the shore. Moana and the others watched as a large humanoid female hippopotamus monster rose out of the water. The hippo monster appeared to have long green hair made of seaweed, a top covering for her chest made by a couple of red starfish, and a grass skirt with a orange crab at the front.
The guardian strutted onto shore with a surprising amount of grace for someone of their size and build and stopped before the group and the lemurs.
"Hello Gloria nice to see you. We have guest who want to speak with you." Said Julien.
"I can see that Julien and I recognize one of our guests as Maui. Tell me why you are here thief." Said Gloria eyeing Maui with suspicion.
"Mighty guardian, we are on a noble quest to retrieve the Instrument of Destruction and to keep it from causing harm." Said Maui.
Uh huh. This true?" Asked Gloria looking at Moana.
"It is. We want to help the kraken people and prevent any harm coming their way." Said Moana.
"Yeah I don't want any harm coming to my people or the Royal Family of the krakens." Said Ruby.
"Well to get the Instrument of Destruction you need two keys and one of them is with me and has been very safe for a long time. Why should I give you the key?" Said Gloria.
"We believe others know about the key and will come hunting for it. It is true that you are strong and could probably protect it, but those hunting for it might try to get to you by hurting the lemurs of this island." Said Chelsea.
A fearful look appeared on the lemurs faces at this thought. Gloria thought about this for a few moments.
"Very well I guess you have a point." Said Gloria as she reached into her hair and pulled out a gold key that resembled a fish tail and handed it to Chelsea.
"Thank you. I promise you we will make sure the Instrument of Destruction doesn't fall into the wrong hands." Said Chelsea.
"I trust you mermaid." Said Gloria.
"You know what I am?" Asked Chelsea in surprise.
"I do. Had plenty of dealings with mermaids to recognize their magic. The fact you're here with a kraken and you're both working together trying to get the Instrument of Destruction tells me that things are changing in the world. Hopefully for the better." Said Gloria.
"Thank you. We want to bring peace between our people." Said Ruby.
"Well I wish you the best of luck." Said Gloria.
"Hey before we leave, do you know anything about where the second key is?" Said Wolf.
"Let me think. I believe the key was taken to a place called Beast Island and given to a tribe of monsters called Punch Monkeys." Said Gloria.
"Looks like we have our next stop. Let's get going." Said Maui.
The group said goodbye to Gloria and the lemurs before they got into their boats and headed to their next stop.
