Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts AU.

[21 part 3]

Scarelegmane glared at the land below him, clicking his tounge. "The dog is gone..But she left a nice trail leading right to her."

He held up his hand, pointing towards the path of blood. A group flew to follow, Scarelegmane pointing down. The rest of his followers landed, and began the search. An hour was all it took to search more than half the field, locating the tunnel straight down.

Scarelegmane sent two troops down, and they didn't come back. He clicked his tounge, forcing the drowsy Kipo up, dragging her out of the car, forcing her down with him. They walked towards the wall, only one being confused. "Let me in." Scarelegmane glared at Kipo.

She stumbled down, her skin darkening. She leaned against the wall, panting quietly, sweating profusely. What was once pink turned a light brown, the girl falling limp. Scarelegmane drew back. 'That's not possible..Is it?' He knelt down, pulling Kipo up.

The girl was cold, freezing to the touch. He tensed. Shoot. He just killed someone on accident- The wall shifted, a Timbercat forcing him in, picking Kipo out of his arms. The cat hissed, nearly dropping Kipo. She looked- Human. She was no longer pink, she didn't smell of mute blood, and her heartbeat was..Normal..

Scarelegmane was forced to the ground, tied up and sat atop of. "Who's that?" Wolf stabbed the monkey with Stalky.

He fell limp, his growl short lived. The Timbercat who sat atop him stood, hoisting Scarelegmane on his shoulder before rushing off. "I..It's Kipo.." The Timbercat mumbled. "But she no longer smells of mute.." The cat lowered Kipo.

She was pale, paler than she was when she was shot down. "G-Get her to Lio! I'll ready the others-"

^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^

"YOU MONSTER!" Lio rushed forward, grunting as he was held back. "YOU'VE KILLED HER! YOU'VE KILLED OUR DAUGHTER!! YOUR SISTER!! I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS HUGO!!"

The mute was out of it, he had barely woken up tied to a chair, and now Lio was shouting at him? "Lio, please, calm down. Shouting won't do anything.." Hoag placed his hand on the man's shoulder.

"Lio.." Song whispered, biting her nail.

He glared at Scarelegmane before going to his wife, "What's wrong? Is she-"

"She's not dead..But..She's also not getting any better.." Song led him to the room. "Sh..She took alot of the serum and she's trying to fight it.."

"But..?"

Song shook her head, "She won't win.."

Lio held his head, falling to his knees, "And we can't do anything..?"

Song looked away, Lio noticing the tears that dripped down her cheeks. "Not so fast.."

Billions stumbled in, reaching in to his pocket, holding out a vile. "Just because we're not medics doesn't mean we didn't study how we changed too.."

Song gasped, wiping her tears quickly and taking the vile. "IfIDoThis- YesAndWithThat- Yes!" She ranted as she scurried from corner to corner, eventually sitting. "Lio do you remember that one formula.."

"That formula from?"

"Yes that one!"

"Memorized-" He got up, going over to her. "Let me write it down for you--"

Billions limped out, cane in front of Scarelegmane's nose. The mandril groggily glared, panting quietly as he couldn't make out the mute before him. "I'd have killed you if we didn't need you.."

"What do you need me for?" Scarelegmane lowered his head slightly, shaking it and looking up.

"To stop this war." Billions forced him up, cane in to Scarelegmane's back. "Move."

Wolf watched as Billions took him away, hesitantly stepping towards the room. "Wolf–" Song noticed first. "Uh– I don't– I don't think you want to see her right now.."

"Is she at least okay?" Wolf managed a single glance of Kipo's arm.

Lio nodded, "While she is still injured, her immune system will soon accept the normal blood. And by soon, I mean three to four days. Maybe longer." Lio blocked Kipo.

Wolf glared, Lio raising a brow, tipping his head forward. "Fine. I'll go. But if she wakes up I'll be the first to know, got it?"

"We'll have to tell Billions first," Song waved Wolf out. "But we'll tell you after okay? He knows Kipo better than you do and he gets to know before you do."

Wolf clicked her tounge, turning and walking off, grumbling about being Kipo's favorite and that she deserved to know first– Augh!
