Author's Note: The next bit. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Grian:

 The four of us quickly made our way back through False's base towards the entrance. My ears perked up when the sound of chewing came from around the corner. 

 I held my hand up towards Mumbo, " Stay here." I mouthed as Mumbo nodded as he stopped the cart. 

 I looked at Tango, " Do you want to be with Mumbo or check out the noise with me?" I whispered as Tango shrugged, " I'm fine here." he answered quickly.

 The two of us inched forward. I poked my head and peered around the corner. The good news was that nothing bad had happened.

 Iskall was talking with Cleo as he gnawed on a carrot. The two were talking about something that had to do with what happens when Joe finally wakes up.

 Speaking of Joe, he was in the corner with a harness strapped to him. The harness had a lead attached to it that was tied to a fence post.

 Joe's bottom half was all brown and fuzzy with two hooves replacing his feet and a long tail was behind him. The horse hybrid was sleeping soundly as his ears twitched every now and again.

 I gave Mumbo a thumbs up as we entered the room. Iskall's ears perked up as he finished his carrot and looked at us.

 " 'Ello!" he turned to face us as his cheery expression turned sour when he saw False. Iskall and Cleo stood up and walked over to us.

 " What happened to her?" Cleo asked as he scratched at his beard as he frowned.

 " Her entire body is frozen.... I tried to touch her, but she is so cold that it can burn human skin." Mumbo explained as he held up his hurt hand. Cleo and Iskall grimaced.

 " I think I have some bandages and healing potions in my bag." Cleo motioned for Mumbo to follow. The two walked over to the corner where two bags sat. 

 Mumbo slowly followed with his ears down and tail tucked between his legs. 

 Iskall sighed as he scratched at his ear, " What happened to Tango?" he questioned as I turned slightly and motioned towards the tiny Tango that awkwardly sat on my shoulder.

 Iskall's tail twitched as he let out a little 'aww' sound. The rabbit hybrid's ears twitched a lot as Tango let out a hissing sound.

 Tango stared at Iskall, " Shut up cotton tail it isn't funny." he growled as Iskall's ear twitched. Iskall shrugged his shoulders, " It kind of is dude. " he laughed as I raised my eyebrow.

 " How can you hear him?" I asked as Iskall pointed to his ears, " I'm a jackalope now Grian. My ears are way more sensitive now." he smirked as Tango and I nodded. 

 Iskall held out his hand and Tango jumped into it, " Man, standing on people's hands feels weird. It's like I'm standing on a twitching waterbed." Tango grimaced as Iskall brought him up to his shoulder. 

 I looked down towards False, " We should get her a heater. Even if a potion is her only cure.... She still needs some heat." I sighed as Iskall nodded and took out a small heater from his pocket. 

 Tango and I looked at each other in confusion, " Why do you have a heater just randomly on you?" Tango questioned as Iskall quickly set the heater up next to False's sleeping self. 

 " I live in a frozen wasteland...." Iskall pointed out with a smug look on his face. Tango and I simply rolled our eyes as Iskall turned the device on. 

 Iskall sat back down on the floor and leaned against the wall. I sat down next to him and looked towards Joe, who was still sleeping soundly.

 " How long has he been out for?" Tango questioned with his arms crossed. Iskall's ear twitched as he sighed, " Ever since Grian and Mumbo left, so an hour...." Iskall sighed as he crossed his arms over his stomach.

 I blinked as I looked towards Joe then back at Iskall, " We know that Evil X probably did something extra to Jevin's potions to make Mumbo have the whole 'cat mind' thing.... Do you think he did the same to Joe?" I asked as Iskall shrugged, " I wouldn't put it against him. " he whispered as one of his ears started to bend downwards.

 Iskall and I have been talking about how annoying tails are with Tango helplessly listening when Joe let out a cough. The three of us perked up instantly and looked towards Joe. 

 Joe had started to stand up with his entire body shaking. His eyes were now shifting between being normal and dull as he looked around. 

 Iskall had started to get up, but I held my hand out, " Wait...." I whispered as I watched Joe, " Horses are spooked easily from what I've read once..." I told him as he sat back down. 

 The three of us watched in silence as Joe held his head as his eyes became normal, " Ugh..." he coughed as he held his throat.

 The two of us got up and slowly went over to Joe, " Are you alright?" I questioned as Joe shook his head. Joe looked at us then at the small Tango, " I.... I believe I am... Nothin's damaged, but...." he turned himself around to sit down normally. 

 Joe narrowed his eyes at his legs, " That's uh.... I don't truly know how to react to this. I... I kept the horse part of me back though...." he answered as he looked at his hoof hand. He grabbed at it with his normal hand then he reached up to touch his ears.

 " If I can be honest. I would feel better to actually see myself fully instead of just looking at blurred colors and shapes." Joe sighed as Iskall took out Joe's glasses, " I bet I could get some rubber bands. It may not be that effective, but it could work in theory." he shrugged as he took some rubber bands out of his pocket. Joe shrugged his shoulders with a sigh, " I suppose that could work. " he mumbled. 

 Iskall quickly worked on Joe's glasses and put the new reinvention on Joe's face. Joe's ear flicked as he blinked to readjust his eyes. He cocked his head to the side and looked at his legs, " This'll take some getting use to." he muttered as he took Iskall's hand and stood up. 

 Joe's stance was wobbly, but he was standing on his own In the matter of a few seconds. It was impressive to say the least.

 I looked around the room and noticed Mumbo and Cleo had been gone for a while.

 " Where's Cleo and Mumbo?" I asked as the others shrugged their shoulders. Everyone looked around as a cough came from the doorway.

 Cleo was standing in the center of the doorway with a lead in his hand. He ran his skeletal hand through his hair as he pulled at the lead. 

 " Grian. Can you come over here and help me?" Cleo questioned as I nodded and walked over to the doorway. Mumbo was on all fours and hissing loudly at the upper part at of the wall. His ears were pressed against his head and his hackles were standing up.

 I stared up at the part of the wall and blinked when I thought I saw something move. It must've been my imagination though because Mumbo stopped hissing and looked up at me with his slit eyes.

 " Come on Mumbo. " I motioned him forward as he trotted after me after Cleo handed me the lead. 

 Joe tilted his head, " So, this is cat minded Mumbo?" he questioned as the rest of us excluding Tango and False nodded. He put his hoof hand to his mouth in thought, " He looks exactly like his usual self though....." Joe tilted his head as we all nodded again. 

 Everyone looked blankly at each other until a hiss came from Mumbo again. Cleo kneeled down next to the hissing cat.

 " What is wrong with you?" Cleo sighed as he looked around, " There is no one here!" he threw his arms into the air as a low, deep, and rather twisted laugh came from behind us where Mumbo was looking.

 " Oh, I know what's wrong with Meowbo..."
