Jangled! Part 5

Author's Note: Part 5! The next part will be maybe short. I'm doing what occurs with Jevin before we get to the whole reveal bit.

 P.S: people are commenting on how the newest part of Another Way to Evolve scares them.

 Grian's POV:

 Mumbo and I swerved through the sky to the ice master herself. Iskall wouldn't be on today so thankfully he doesn't get a chance to laugh his signature laugh at my current scaly body.

 " There she is!" Mumbo pointed downward towards the frozen castle. Stress was hugging her chickens and feeding them seeds and berries. She was in her element. 

 We glided down and touched the cold stone ground. I led out a yelp and jumped onto Mumbo's heat radiating self. 

 The floor was cold, too cold in fact!

 Stress turned at the sound of my yelping and took a step back. Her eyes were so wide I could see a majority of the whites in them. Mumbo was holding me up now after I pounced him; he recovered remarkably fast.

 " Wot happened to ya Grian?" she straightened up and fixed her hair to get it out of one of eyes. I told her about everything that led up to this moment. Stress had the look of disgust in her eyes.

 I froze up even more then I already was doing. Mumbo had managed to wrap me up in the blanket he took from the stock exchange. I shook slightly. 

 " Do you boys believe that I'm the Jangler?" Stress stomped her foot to the ground, " I swear if one more person points their claw or finger in my direction and state that I'm the Jangler...." she stared at us in anger.

 Mumbo waved his hand, " Stress, we are not implying that." he reassured her. Stress lowered her guard and sighed. She set her bird down onto the ground causing it to run back into the castle.

 Stress looked directly at me, " So, how is Doc handling being a human?" she questioned as my tail twitched. I frowned at her, " Well, technically Doc is a dog hybrid now. Ren is the human." I told her as she nodded.

 I shivered slightly as I snuggled up against Mumbo. The sharp, icy wind going against my legs. Stress noticed this immediately.

 " Well, I sadly know nothing about the Jangler; however.... " Stress looked up towards the giant cookie in the sky. She crossed her arms, " I've been studying the odd details on that cookie, and I've been finding oddities up there." she looked back towards us.

 Mumbo tilted his head, " What do you mean?" he questioned as Stress rocked from her heels to her toes, " You guys can see when you get up there." she cryptically spoke as she walked back into her base. 

 The two of us looked at each other with puzzled looks. I moved to Mumbo's back and held on tightly, " What else could be up there?" I wondered aloud as I put my head against his shoulder, " Ren, Doc, and I explored the whole thing!" I told him as he took off into the sky.

 We reached the cookie, and the air instantly felt warmer with the amount of torches that were around the thing. I touched the ground and took the blanket off. My tail twitched as I walked around.

 " Someone has been here recently...." I kneeled down and sniffed at the wooden planks. There was some grey and white fur that was decorating the top of the cookie. I continued sniffing and walking on all fours. 

 Mumbo was following behind me closely, " What are you finding out Gri?" he questioned. I didn't respond as I scratched at the planks and ripped a hole in them. My tail kept twitching as I climbed into the hole and grabbed at a small leather book with my mouth.

 " Grian, what did you find?" Mumbo asked again as I pulled myself out. I sat down in front of him and pointed at the book with my claw, " Raaa-RAAAAA!" I presented the book as Mumbo shook his head. He let out a laugh as I stood up.

 I took the book out of my mouth and flipped it open, " It seems like scrapped versions of that one poem we found." I scanned through the multiple scraped poems.

 " I'll give you a hint at what I am. The hint is that I relate to a creature that gives you a hex." Mumbo read aloud as he put his hand on the book. I handed him the book as he dropped it into his bag. 

 We both looked at each other, " So, it was the Convex after all?" Mumbo questioned as I nodded. I crossed my arms, " Yep.... To be honest I wish it was you n' me confronting Scar. " I told Mumbo as we took back off into the sky.

 " Where are we going?" Mumbo questioned as I happily flew through the air. I took back at him as my tail twitched, " To where Ren and Doc were going. They are going to need backup. " 

 My tail kept twitching as we reached the still warm air that was above the shopping district. Mumbo let out a cough, " Should we go get Jevin and head over there?" he questioned as I shook my head.

 " Jevin is pretty fast on his slimy feet. He should be over there by now." I told him as we pasted the shopping district. I flew down next to Mumbo. The two of us started to talk about other creeper things that have been affecting me like the purring, tail wagging, and other things. The only thing had has been bugging me was being excessively cold all the time. I constantly needed warmth just to move around.

 My tail twitched as we decided to land at the rail station. Mumbo and I looked at the rail cart, " We can honestly be stealthier this way." I jumped into the cart and Mumbo got in behind me. He pushed the bottle and headed out to reveal the Jangler once and for all.
