The Species Exchange insident

Chapter 3: With great power comes great needs for coffee

Pvo: Cellbit

Cellbit was feeling bad. He was making himself some coffee when suddenly he fainted and when he regained consciousness, not only his coffee was cold, but he also felt bad. His body hurt and his head hurt even more. His vision was weird, his vision was too big; after putting his hand in his face, he realised two things. First thing, he has 6 eyes and the second was that he has 4 arms. He wanted to vomit. He was very grateful that his husband came to help him. After being up again with the eyes covered by Roier's bandana. He could see that his husband spider was no longer a hybrid spider, instead of their three pairs of eyes and his other pair of arms, which he seemed to possess now, he had two horns and a devil tail. He could also see red marks on his neck and forearms. He looked at his communicator and see that it was full of messages of panic and incomprehension about the situation. It was all of this that pushed him to ask all the islanders to come under the dome and found himself high, demanding their attention. He cleared his throat and spoke.

"Hello everyone. If I asked you to join me here today, this for trying to understand and resolve the situation we are in. I don't know how or why it happened yet, but I would do everything in my power to fix it." He paused for a short time and swept the crowd until he saw his husband, then continued his speech. "Pac and Felps here have volunteered to identify your new species, this may allow us to understand something, like a kind of pattern or something else. If you have any information, please share it. On this I let-." Cellbit stopped right in his sentence when he heard the thunder, he looked up to see that it was cloudy but no rain. It wasn't normal on this always sunny island. After some lighting, he heard someone shouting.

"SORRY! I'M LATE, SOMETHING CRAZY HAPPENED! ONE OF MY MACHINES EXPLODED! AND YOU WILL NEVER GESS WHAT HAPpened..." It was Tubbo with Sunny and Ramon. All watching him.

"One of your machines Exploded?" Asked Cellbit

"Yes," Tubbo confirmed, before explaining, "I found this strange machine and it's activated on his own before exploding and knocking me out and when I woke up, I was...you know? Like seen it loo like you're in the same situation."

"Well, that explains a lot of things. Case closed. It's Tubbo's fault." Charlie commented.

"He's right. We just need to fix and reverse the effects." Say Bagi.

"Didn't you hear what I said? It exploded, all that remains usable, it's the plan and I can't rebuild it, I don't have the stuff and no idea on how to get it." He replied.

"You still have the plan!" shouted the spider.

"Yes! Is it a family thing to be deaf?" replied Tubbo. Bagi shouted in protest at the commentary against her and her brother and Cellbit ignored it.

"Ok everyone, I will ask you to go see Pac and Felps, except Pierre, Bagi and Tubbo, you, you will join me at Tubbo place." Then Cellbit teleported himself to the ex-satyr's factory. He was soon joined by the others.

"Okay. Tubbo show us the machine and the plan."

"Okay. But I'm warning you it's in a bad situation and to be honest, I have no idea on how we could reverse the effects."

"I thought you wouldn't know, or it wouldn't have exploded. That why I asked Pierre to join us." Replied the spider.

"Oh. He is in a bad mood. Great." Whispered Aypierre to Tubbo, but not low enough so that Cellbit can't hear him. This prompted him to respond to the engineers.

"Yeah, I'm in a bad mood because, first of all, because of some event I didn't have my coffee and second of all, I have a fucking headache and having four more eyes than normal doesn't help. So I think I have all the right to be in a bad mood. Any other comment? No? Good."

"Okay, geez, hind, it was an accident, it was never my intention. See, I struggle to walk with feet." Replied the youngest.

"Oh, poor you, it's true that nobody here can understand your problem, really nobody." Bagi's sentence was filed with so much frustration even Cellbit couldn't ignore it. This was the first time Celllbit saw his sister closely since the incident began (so this morning). She had also lost her feline features, instead of these ears and her cat tail, there are ears and horns of a goat and these feet were hooves, she became a satyr. She stood against the wall. Cellbit had asked her to come, because he thought that in certain situations, two brains were better than one and he thought that it was perhaps one of these situations, but he will never admit it out loud.

"You have my spices?" remarked Tubbo.

"Yes, and I have no idea on how to walk with hooves. Is it like walking on tiptoeing or something?"

"Technically, you're stepping on your nails, but I think it's something like that. Personally, this is what comes naturally with feet." Replied the human.

"What? My nails?" repeated the satyr, before lowering her head. "Wait, are you barefoot?" In fact, Tubbo wasn't wearing anything on his feet.

"Of course I'm barefoot. I never found the use of wearing shoes before, so I don't own any."

"That True," replied Aypierre.

"Can we go back to the main topics? Tubbo take us to the machine." Said Cellbit. Then they all went to the machine with more or less difficultly for some. The machine (if you can call that a m machine with its condition) was very damaged. There were pieces of scrap everywhere.

"What did you do to put it in such a state?" asked the feline.

"I don't know." He said, "It wasn't like that when I left."

"What do you mean?" asked Bagi.

"It wasn't that bad! I'm sure. Now there're pieces of scrap but when I left there were still some who were good." He replied. He went to his work plan and spoke. "The plan is gone. I put it here, I'm sure, but it's gone. Fuck. I'm sure it was stolen." Cellbit let curs out.

"Do you have any idea how to recover the plan?" asked the older one.

"No. I don't think so."

"Are you sure? No copy, not even a drawing from memory?" Questioned Bagi.

"I can try to draw it from memory, but it won't be great."

"How did you even get the plan in the first place?" asked Cellebir.

"Well... There was this map I found on my work plan that took me to a house." He began.

"And you went alone? Without knowing if it was dangerous or not."

"Well, when you say it like that, I look stupid."

"Yes, very"

"Thank you, Pierre, for the comment."

"The pleasure is mine, mon cher." Said the feline.

"That's enough you two! Continue." Rebuked the spider.

"So... where was I? Oh yes. There was this house and, in this house, there was a lock room." The engineer continued before being interrupted again by the satyr.

"And you went in." it was between, the question and a reproach but he continued.

"Yes. and in this room, there was the plan and some objects to build the machine."

"And you built it."

"No! I made a fucking origami out of it! Of course I built it; otherwise we wouldn't be in this situation! I think."

"Do you happen to have the map or the coordinates?" Questioned Bagi. Tubbo took time to thought about it before answering.

"I think I threw the cart away, BUT, before you yell at me for that, if you give me enough time, I could definitely find it on my map."

"You look for it, Pierre looks at the remains of the machine, to try to get as much information as possible. Bagi looks for clues about the thieves in the warehouse. If you find anything, contact me. Tubbo I want these coordinates tomorrow to go to the nearest waystone you've got, if it's too far away, contact Etoiles to see if he's got any closer. Everything clear?" Akk replied affirmatively. "Good, I'll get myself a coffee." Then he teleported to join Pac and Felps at the Order.

Notes: hope you like it. Have a nice day
