Chapter 3
The phone laid on the floor ringing, waiting for anyone to answer when someone finally did.
"Hello?" DocM's voice came out of the phone.
"Doc?" Mumbo questioned.
"Mumbo? Dude, am I glad you called."
"And I'm glad you picked up!" Mumbo replied. "Grian and I have a bit of situation..."
"Situation? That, uh, wouldn't happen to be animal related, would it?"
"How- Wait. You too?" Mumbo asked.
"Yeah man. I'm a german shepard. Ren's with me and he's a chocolate lab."
Mumbo and Grian heard laughing on the otherside.
"Haha, yes Ren, I'm aware that me being a German Shepard is amusing to you." They heard Doc mutter, talking to Ren. "So, what are you guys?"
"Uh, some type of cats. But we are currently stuck on my base which is in the middle of the ocean.
"Oh."
"Yeah... Um, do you know if anyone can help us out?"
"Um..." Doc muttered before Ren spoke up.
"X could!"
"X? Is he not affected?" Mumbo asked.
"What? Oh no! He was definitely affected!" Ren explained. "I'll send him your way. It might be a minute before he gets there though!"
Mumbo glanced at Grian. "Um, alright. Thanks?"
"No problem! See you guys soon hopefully!" Ren replied before they hung up.
Grian looked at Mumbo. "Should we go wait at the shore?"
Mumbo nodded. "Probably."
As they headed towards the water elevator, Mumbo felt something jump onto his back. "Wha-?"
Grian grinned at him from his back. "Onward Mumbo!"
Mumbo just grinned and laughed as he continued on.
About five minutes of waiting later, they heard X speak up. "So, I was told I need to rescue a couple of cats. Would that be you two?"
Mumbo and Grian turned towards his voice before gasping. "X? You're a turtle?!" Grian asked.
X laughed. "Yeah. It was strange to wake up to that's for sure. Seems like you were turned into a kitten, yeah?"
Grian pouted. "Mumbo's a kitten too..."
X started to reply when Mumbo gave him a small head shake.
X just chuckled. "Okay then. Well. Any ideas on how we can get you out of here?"
Mumbo nodded. "A boat."
X hummed. "Okay. Uh, do you have a lead? I could hold one end and drag you and the boat through the ocean to the shopping district where the others are at."
Grian and Mumbo grinned. "Perfect!"
Mumbo quickly ran to grab the lead before returning, passing one end to Xisuma. He then helped Grian into the boat and hopped in behind him, holding the lead with his mouth.
"Ready?"
Mumbo nodded before Grian could respond and X took off.
Grian gasped and fell backward, into Mumbo who chuckled. "You did that on purpose." Grian accused making Mumbo smile.
