-A Few Moments Earlier-

(PINK THEO)
Are you aching!?

(BLUE THEO)
Yup, yup, yup

(PINK THEO)
For some bacon?!

(BLUE THEO)
Yup, yup, yup

(PINK THEO)
He's a BIG pig!

(BLUE THEO)
Yup, yup, yup

(PINK THEO)
You can be a big pig too--OY!

The corpses let out a screech as they went charging at them. Adrien quickly stood as he picked up the Pink and Blue Theodore before he started to run; as to be expected, the corpses chased after them without haste or hesitation. The Pink and Blue Theodore held onto Adrien tightly as they ran through the streets at an alarming fast pace. A few times they nearly fell off if they didn't held onto each other.

Adrien quickly turned a hard left as they managed to stop in an alleyway and they stayed there until the corpses passed them by.

They all sighed with relief as they could hear the corpses get further away. "Well that was actually fun!" Pink Theodore said.

"I'm gonna suffocate Yami for that one later." The Blue Theodore said.

Adrien only squawked at them as they both looked at him. "Okay! We'll merge back!" Pink Theodore said.

"You don't have to be rude." Blue Theodore said.

The Pink and Blue Theodore took each other's paws before they merged back into one as he had reverted back into his usual fur colors. "You're right--!" Theodore said as he sat on the saddle, "--The world's not ready for two Theos!" His tone soon changed, "I'm not ready for two me's..."

Adrien only huffed before he started to sniff around before he started to venture outside to the streets. Though by only relying on his scent they started to wander aimlessly through the now ruined streets.

Theodore had been merely humming and singing to himself just to pass the time. "Aww..." Theodore said as his eyes were pink, "... I can't see the sunshine with all this smoke..." His eyes shifted to blue, "... And I'm getting hungry! I want hash browns!" His eyes shifted back to pink, "Ooo! Maybe we can have ourselves breakfast for lunch with Pretty Lady and Munchkin! I'm gonna call it---Brunch!"

He thought about it for a moment before he groaned, "... It sounds corny."

Just then Adrien started to growl softly and aggressively before he had gotten low to the ground. "What's wrong?" Theodore asked as his eyes shifted to gray. He soon froze when he saw a familiar patched corpse just nearby; though it had looked to be dragging something from behind; they appeared to be a couple of bodies.

"What the heck is that?" Theodore said.

Adrien started to move as he kept low to the ground as he followed them. It hadn't been long till they reached the main square. "What in the world is--" Theodore started to say before his eyes widened in shock and horror when he realized who it had been. It had been the familiar palamute Zeus, and an Elf who had long lost his camouflage--Nolan.

"Pretty Lady's uncle!" Theodore exclaimed with worry.

He soon froze as he noticed a man had approached with long purple messy hair as he appeared to have an eyepatch. "Well, well well--" The man said as Nolan appeared to be conscious, "--What do we have here?"
