Mighty's Book of Oneshots

Bawking up the Wrong Tree (3) TBC(?)

Author's Note: Okay, so, I don't really like this story. I'll leave it at it is, and I won't change anything. I just don't really want to continue it right now. You could say that I lost inspiration for it. 

 I uh, might be replacing this story with that poked idea? It has transformations in it.

 I leaned back as I looked up at X, " How's that going? Tracking Grian, I mean." I questioned as he sighed. The admin turned towards me in his chair, " I keep getting faint signals, but there's something off about it." he admitted with a frown.

  Iskall and I looked at each other, " What's wrong?" Iskall questioned as he raised his eyebrow. X ran his hand through his hair. He sighed, " I keep getting two signals. The first signal that matches that man in coming from Mumbo's base. The other? The other is coming from the bottle under Grian's base." X shook his head.

 Doc made a confused noise as he hopped up onto my stretched out leg. He looked over at Iskall and squawked at him, " What?" Iskall mumbled as he absentmindedly stroked Mumbo's sleeping head.

 The creeper-chicken made another annoyed noise as his feathers started to fluff up. He waddled down my leg and over to Iskall. He pecked Iskall's leg again as his tail twitched. Iskall made an annoyed squeak as he recoiled from Doc's talons.

 " Okay.... I see what you want..." Iskall sighed as he gently removed the black chicken from his lap. Iskall placed Mumbo down onto what looked like Mumbo's clothing that was neatly folded. Mumbo made a cooing noise as he raised his head.

 The chicken blinked and sneezed. He looked up at me and sighed, " Bawk...." he pulled his head up and shuffled around until he was on the floor. I frowned at him, " Hey Mumbo." I sighed as Mumbo made a quiet noise. He spread out his wings and yawned before standing up.

 The two of us looked over at Iskall as he messed with Doc's face plate, " Well, I can't seem to fix your translator. That seems stuck in chicken mode, but I connect you to my eye again." Iskall told him. Doc let out another squawk as Iskall continued to mess with the open face plate. 

 After a few minutes, Iskall closed the face plate. The Swede looked satisfied as he tapped the side of his head. Doc made a couple of low squawks as Iskall nodded.

 " Yep. I can hear you loud and very loud man." Iskall smirked as he looked over at X. Iskall told him how Doc was picking up some strange signals before he was turned into a chicken. The hermit continued with how the signal could be our Grian because Doc didn't pick up Poultry Man before it was too late.

 X crossed his arms as he turned back to the laptop. He studied the screen and turned back to face us, " Well, the signal that Doc is talking about is coming from Grian's bottle." he started to smile. This smile, however, turned into a look of concern.

 I stood up as my tail twitched, " Well, one of us needs to get down there." I frowned as the two men nodded. Mumbo made a concerned squawking noise, " he put his head on Iskall's leg. Iskall looked at Doc and nodded.

 " Mumbo, If it makes you fee better, I'll stay here with you." Iskall gave Mumbo a sad look. Mumbo shook himself out and gave Iskall a nod. He waddled over to a dining room chair and flapped his wings.

 " Mumbo no." X sighed as he looked over at the chicken. Mumbo studied the chair and turned around. He walked over to X and made another noise. X scooped the chicken up, " You want to feel tall again mate?" he questioned with a small chuckle as he put Mumbo onto the table.

 Mumbo made a happy noise as he walked around the table. Iskall picked Doc up and moved to the chair. Doc sat on Iskall's lap and looked at me. He bawked at me with a cock of his head.

 I smiled at me, " Come on Doc... I can handle this." I told him as he sighed. The hermit made a couple of noises at Iskall. The Swede looked over at me, " Doc knows. He just wants you to bring Grian back alive." he gave me a worried look.

 Gathering my stuff, I nodded at him, " I wish, trust me." I looked over at X, " Can you work on a cure for the others while I'm gone?" I asked him. X nodded as he showed me another thing on his computer, " Already almost finished." he smirked as I nodded.

 Doc and Mumbo made squawking noises of celebration as I left the building. I took off into the sky and hurried towards Grian's base. With luck, I should be able to cover him and perhaps clear that poor guy's name.
