((An hour later brought to you by Mightypup being an angry pup, and Iskall falling asleep with Mumbo tiredly joining))
Iskall:
I had almost fallen asleep before loud noises came from behind me. I turned my head to find Mighty biting the crib bars. The hybrid was still chewing on the bars as her tail twitched. I held my hand up to the crib causing Mighty's ears to go back; the hybrid growled and barked.
Upon hearing the barking, Ren woke up and immediately ran on all fours to me. The dog hybrid slammed against me and growled. I held my hands up and picked Ren off of me, " No hurt! Do not hurt! Bad hermit!" he growled as I shook my head.
" Ren, you know me bro. I am not going to hurt her..." I told him as his tail twitched. Ren growled again and put his face close to mine. Tango got off the bed and stood next to Ren, " Rendog, calm down you dummy!" his tail shook with an annoyed look. Ren looked at him, " I-I... Tango.... I-I... " his ears went down as he rubbed at his fluffy legs, " I...." he looked at me.
Tango hugged Ren and stroked his head behind his ears. The hybrid's horns lit up and surrounded Ren causing his ears to twitch. Ren calmed down, " Tango... What wrong.... What is wrong with....." he started to whine as Tango used his magic to pick Ren up.
I gently took Ren and held him carefully, " 'm sorry, Iskall..." his ears lowered as I sighed, " You're fine, Ren.... You're just being a good friend, okay?" I told him as he nodded. Ren fell back asleep against me; however, his ears remained lowered.
I looked around the room. I looked behind me to see that Mumbo had returned, and he was sleeping by me now. Oh Mumbs, overworking yourself then falling asleep. At least you found somewhere good this time....
Why did the others have to leave the room though? I know that everyone was sleeping originally but still. I put Ren down next to me and looked up at Tango, " Can you grab me that blanket, Tango?" I questioned as he nodded. Tango walked over to the bed he was sharing with Impulse and grabbed a spare blanket. He handed it over to me as his tail twitched. The demon quickly walked back over to Impulse and climbed back under the blanket that Impulse was sleeping in.
We'll get you guys turned back soon.... I thought to myself as I covered Renpup up in the blanket. Ren's ears twitched as he moved further against me. I let out a sigh as I heard barking behind me.
Right.... Mighty.
I turned my head to find a fluffy, wolftiger Mighty staring at me with her glowing, icy blue eyes. Mighty hissed and stuck her paw through the bar and swatted at me. I gently scooted over to the other crib and stuck my tongue out. Mumbo twitched but he let me and Ren move closer to him in order to be away from Mighty's reach.
" We really need to get you back.... You're a little fidgety one..." I mumbled as I stared at Mighty. Mighty barked at me against and tackled at the crib's bars. I shook my head as Doc came back into the room, " W-what is Mighty doing?" he cleared his throat as I sighed, " I put my hand onto the bars, and she freaked out at it. Now she's all mad at me dude." I sighed as I held Ren.
Doc's tail twitched as he approached the crib. Mighty stared at him and barked and hissed until Doc lowered his robotic arm into the crib. The arm glowed a soft red causing Mighty's ears to raise. The hybrid waddled over to the hand and purred as Doc scratched at the bottom of the wolftiger pup's neck. Mighty flopped over and continued to purr until she was asleep.
" What'd you do?" I questioned as Doc looked at me as he picked Mighty up, " How do I explain this.... Hybrids enjoy warmth... Yeah, that's a good way." he nodded. Mighty was still purring against Doc's arm, " I got the way to turn the others back done." Doc told me with a toothy grin.
I raised my eyebrow as TFC came in with smoke and redstone dust covering his whole body, " That quick?" I questioned as TFC took off a pair of goggles. The elder hermit coughed out some smoke, " Yeah that quick. After Doc and Mumbo scavenged for some redstone machinery, Doc did some crazy stuff and made this weird little device that could turned everyone back." TFC explained.
" Why are you covered in soot and dust then?" I questioned as I carefully stood up while also making sure that Ren remained asleep. TFC crossed his arms, " Cause the craft creeper over here went a bit crazy with makin' the gear." he narrowed his eyes as he took wash cloth out of his inventory and a bottle of water. The hermit wiped his hands and face off with the water.
Doc's tail twitched, " I apologized after." he sighed. I nudged Mumbo causing him to yawn and wake up. The mustachioed man stood up and stretched, " What's happening? Is it done?" he mumbled as he tilted his head. Doc nodded as he grinned, " Yeah. We got it done. X is waiting in the other room and is setting up the final details for each person. We just need to get everyone there." Doc told him.
Mumbo nodded, " Thank goodness for that.... While Iskall was asleep, I was.... you know... nevermind... it's not important." he briefly rubbed his eye. I frowned as I looked at him, " Mumbo..." I frowned as he looked at me, " Yes..." he had a panic attack, and I wasn't even awake to calm him down..... If there weren't kids around, I wouldn't sworn.
" Let's just get everyone turned back, shall we?" Mumbo questioned as he carefully scooped Grian up. The little Grian twitched and sneezed before settling again. Joe was picked up by a cleaner Tinfoil. I walked over to Tango and nudged him causing him tail to thrash.
Tango opened his glowing red eyes and hissed at me, " It's time to turn you guys back." I smirked slightly causing Tango to shake his head. Tango curled up under the blanket, " Five more minutes." he whined under the blanket.
Mumbo looked down at Tango, " Tango Tek please.... You can sleep when you're an adult again." he explained causing Tango to sigh. The demon wrestled himself out of his blanket cocoon and got Impulse up as well.
" We're gonna turn back now Pulse." Tango explained with a yawn. Impulse nodded silently as the two left for the other room. The rest of us soon followed behind.
X was standing with what looked like a flashlight in his gloved hand. Each of us set our sleeping hermit, or Mighty in Doc's case, down onto the floor. Tango and Impulse sat down next to each other. We stepped behind X as he nodded his head, " Well, let's hope that this works gentlemen.." he put his helmet on and lowered the visor. Doc handed us some goggles, and we each put them on.
" Is this going to hurt?" Tango questioned as his tail smacked against Mighty's muzzle. The hybrid slowly started to stir. X shook his head, " It's harmful to us adults, Tango. It's magical properties could actually have the opposite affect on us. We could become children or worse!" he nervously spoke causing Tango to nod, " Oh, that's bad!" he gasped.
Mighty got up after being repeatedly smacked by Tango's tail. X carefully shined the flashlight at the group. When the light settled, the others were back to normal.
Impulse stood up, " It... It worked...." he grinned, " I.. I can actually talk normally again." he helped Tango up. Impulse smiled as he hugged Tango, " What happened to you though Impulse?" I questioned as Impulse looked at me.
" I don't know... My body kept resisting from talking to you guys. I... I don't know why... I could only talk to Tango, and I could barely utter a few words." Impulse sighed. Doc explained what he had found about the dust and vex magic causing Impulse to nod.
" Speaking of the dust and magic, " Tango looked around, " Where are Scar and Cub..... and where's Mighty?" he questioned. We looked around in confusion. My body twitched as I frowned. Mumbo perked up, " Oh, they left to go back to Vex lands.... Well, Scar and Cub did. Cub was getting incredibly weak." he explained with a nod.
X took his helmet off, " What about Mighty though? She was right here a moment ago." he frowned with a shake of his head. Tango yelped as he stepped to the side. The small, still toddler Mighty was still in a wolftiger form. Mighty's muzzle was clamped around Tango's tail like a bear trap.
" Mighty, sweetheart, let go of mE." Tango yelped again as Mighty pulled on the tail. X frowned, " Okay, let's just get Mighty and shine the light on her." he held the flashlight in his hands. Mighty, upon hearing X, let go of Tango's tail. The hybrid's eyes glowed brighter as a portal opened. Mighty ears went back as Tango turned to her, " Come here, Mighty..."
Mighty hissed again then leapt into the portal. The portal closed right as Tango reached it. Everyone looked at each other, " We'll find her later, I guess.... Let's just get everyone who's sleeping to their bases." X sighed as he lowered his head. We all nodded and quickly got to work on taking Ren and the others back to their bases.
