As they climbed down the ladder, Tea Wizard stood there waiting for them.
"Now that you've found him, you can continue your adventure." He stated mysteriously.
"Wait a minute," questioned Gee, "out of all placed where you could of hid him, why in a coffee tree?"
"Weeell..." Tea Wizard explained, "remember when Helena gave me him to me to be hidden from the Elites? While we were running to cover, he was accidentally shot multiple times. When we got him here, he'd lost so much blood he was nearly comatose! We didn't have any bags of blood lying around to replace it, so we used coffee instead. Eventually, his body rejected the rest of his actual blood, so he's entirely composed of coffee. Raw coffee beans have the highest caffeine concentration, so we hollowed out the biggest one and that was his new room." Gee was still a little shocked. Every drop of hemoglobin in Mikey had been replaced with coffee? This was hardly even scientifically possible! But then again, this tale of the band's formation is only as canon as one would like it to be.
Tea Wizard handed Mikey a satchel filled with coffee filters.
"Good luck to the both of you." He said before escorting them to the door.
Before they could leave, Tea
Wizard handed Gee a shimmering, black longsword with a red gem crackling with energy inlaid into the hilt.
"I transferred all my Elite power and that of a thousand of my fallen allies into this sword. Use it wisely." Gee nodded,
"I will, thanks."
