Kipo and the world beyond

Shookshroom guardian

Kipo and her group all stand In front of the large Facility. "Man, this this Ford guy build this place!? It's huge!?" Song steps closer and inspects the walls. "No, the facility looks to be built into the ground, I'd say it's been here the whole time, and Ford just found it." Molly looks at her, skeptically. "And you just assume that's what happened?" Song looks at her with slight annoyance. "Yes that's what I assume, Now help me get this thing opened!" Everyone gets a grip on the large metal door and tries to get it opened. Dave's arms come off and he falls back. "Ugh! It's locked from the inside. Now What!?" Kipo yells.

Benson gets an idea. "Maybe we could try and bust through it with the Jaguar?" Lio speaks up. "No, the door is a sliding gate, that most likely just get it jammed." Wolf speaks next. "Maybe we can dig under it?" Molly scratches the ground. "No, it's nothing but solid rock under us, even if we have digging tools, it'd take too long." "Well how about we sneak into that open window up there?" Dave says from the ground, he's pointing with the one arm he has left at a open vent. "Dave that's a air duct, not a window." Lio corrects him. "Hey, I was close." "No you weren't."

Kipo uses her Jaguar form to give everyone a boost, but the vent is small. "I don't think anyone can fit in here." Dave laughs. "Ha, but I can, you all sit tight, I'll get this open is no time." He throws himself into the vent and disappears in it. "You think he'll be ok?" Benson asks. Everyone looks at each other and they all sigh.

Kipo sits down against the wall and smells the cloak again. Song sits next to her, and puts her hand on her shoulder. "Hey you ok?" Kipo looks at her and sighs. "I'm just worried, if this doesn't work and Emilia perfects the harbingers... It was hard enough when it was just her, and now, here we are literally right at her front door, and we have no choice but to wait for Dave!" She buries her face into the cloak. "...And I want my birdy..." Benson chuckled. "He's only been gone for like a few hours, Kipo." "A few hours to long! Look I know I said I wouldn't be clingy, but I just can't help it." Song rubs her back. "Hey it's ok, you know I was like that too, when your father and I started dating.

Kipo perks up. "Really?" Song nods. "I remember it like yesterday. I confessed to your father and he blushed the brightest shade of red I'd ever seen." Lio looks embarrassed as she talks about him. "Hey I wasn't that embarrassed, was I?" He sits on the other side of Kipo, and Song giggles. "Yes, you were a stuttering mess. After that we just decided to date, we didn't really know what we were doing, we just kinda winged it." Song smiles at the memories. Lio recalls their time together. "Yeah, and I don't regret it, because I got the most beautiful women in the world as my wife, and the most amazing little girl as my daughter."

Kipo smiles, feeling comforted by their words and breathes easier, know they have each other. "Thanks guys, I needed that." They all hug, and Benson sniffs at the touching family moment and wolf just smiles. Molly nods in approval and suddenly the door started to open, on the other side we see Dave, and a large amount of molted Daves behind him. "See, what I tell ya? No time at all." Molly is the first one to speak. "Your immortality scares me, you know that?"

Benson suddenly realizes something, and looks around. "Hey guys, has anyone seen Nosey?" The all look around and they realize the little creature is nowhere to be seen.

(With Rook)

We see our winged survivor flying towards the shore of the Island, he flies up to a ledge above the red beach and lands on the edge and slowly walks towards his friend. He crouches and sits next him. "Hey Mid, it's been a minute huh? I uh... I got your message... It's means a lot to me, that you'd say such things." He holds the helmet and sighs. "Mid... I don't know what to do... if you were here, you'd probably like "Kid you need to realize how little of a deal it is, who cares what you are. It only matters what you choose to be"" He says, suddenly realizing how much a of a good impression he makes. "Wow, I just impressed my self." He looks to the grave he dug for him, and pats the ground.
