Author's Note: Some mild body horror and gore in this one. Nothing too major, but it's good to say it before hand.
Enjoy.

Mumbo's POV:
" I-It's done..." I whispered.
I looked down and watched as my hooves slowly split apart and returned to being pale, normal hands. Tiredly, I pulled my sleeves up and watched at the pink-ish fur either dropped off of my arms or shrunk and morphed back into my normal, blond arm hairs.
As my legs went back to normal, I looked up at the blender and gagged. Grian's bloody, broken body was slumped against the back wall.
" I'm sorry, Grian... Y-You know that you would've d-done t-the same." I stuttered through the exhaustion. Grian's body remained dormant; there weren't even any signs of his body disappearing for the respawn progress.
I let out a shaky breath as I gripped the wall and forced myself to my feet. My legs buckled as I leaned against the wall and put my hand against my morphing snout as it turned back into my nose and mouth.
Everything was horribly sore as I continued to grip the wall and turned away from the blender. The corners of my vision blurred as I made my way towards the stairs.
It's fine...
It was just a.. a death.
Grian'll respawn in a bit. I-I can apologize.. No, I don't need to apologize.
Slowly, painfully, I climbed up the stairs and left the horrid room. Once I reached the top of the stairs, my legs gave out from under me.
My entire body was twitching as I rested my head at the top of the stairs. Everything was on fire as I let out a shaky wheeze.
CRACK!
I tensed up as the bones in my shoulder began to bend and snap like a glowstick. Meanwhile, down my spine and into my lower back, it felt like I was being stabbed like a million tiny pins.
" M-mb-?" A voice barely broke through the horrid pains in my back and cracks of my shoulders. Gently, a hand touched my head and touched my ranging ear. I let out a shaky breath as my ears seemed to be growing....changing.
" MU-M-O!" A new voice, still unrecognizable, briefly caused the ringing in my ears to stop. I sucked in a breath as the skin in my back began to peel.
Slowly, a pair of gentle hands touched my shoulders caused a yelp to escape from me. I gasped in pain and struggled to move away; my claws, I have claws now, dug into the grass as I hissed loudly.
The gentle hands soon morphed into gentle arms as I was picked up. Upon being picked up, I could hear the voice more clearly, " I've... you.." Impulse's voice drifted through my ears. Even if I could barely understand what all he was saying, I'm just glad that...
Ow...
Everything was hot again. My brain felt like it was being fried as I laid my head against Impulse's ches.....
((There's a floating Grian holding a sign that reads 'Unknown Timeskip'.))
" That's it Mumbo..." Impulse's voice slowly woke me from my slumber. My entire body was hot as Impulse's hand gently brushed against my forehead.
Impulse shuddered, " Your fever still hasn't gotten better." he mumbled, " I'll go see if Scar has anymore potions."
My ears twitched as I heard Impulse trudge away and out of the room. Slowly, I forced my eyes open and let out a soft wheeze as the light from the candle next to me flickered softly. I let out a soft sigh as I braced my arms against the bed.
