Smiling Critters: Ancestra Au

Solution (Part 2) - Season 2

Bobby sent a group to scout the positions of each person she would use to free Catnap, her son.

In question, they were Dogday, Hoppy, Crafty, and Kickin.

In her office, three people were present: two men and a girl. One of the men was human, wearing a neat suit and a silver dollar sign necklace, and his hair was neat and tidy. He looked about forty years old.

The second man was a half-monkey human, his posture relaxed, wearing a blue coat and white shorts. The girl beside him was human, with thick, thick hair tied in pigtails.

She wore a white dress with blue and purple star designs, carrying a white teddy bear.

— Here are the administrators. Do you know the plans? — Bobby asked. Everyone nodded. — Great, when the groups give the signal, move forward. Catnap probably trained them somehow; he likes security.

— Okay, there are four of them, three children and a single adult. It would be a bit unfair to use our powers to contain them, — the well groomed man stated.

— That's why I'm sending you to get Dogday and his bunny friend, Hoppy. That boy, the first time I saw him, I knew he wasn't normal!- Bobby leaned her elbows on the table, thinking deeply.

— I'll get the chicken and the unicorn? Funny, and she over here? — the half-monkey asked, tired and lazy, wiping his ear.

— Exactly, it's impossible for either of them to do anything big. What about the girl? Backup and coordinator. In case, for some reason, you're about to lose, she'll step in. If not, she'll show you your hiding place,- he replied, pointing at the girl.

She stared at them both at the same time, her eyes moving independently. Her smile made those nearby uncomfortable... she said nothing.

The group was dismissed, the strange girl remaining with Bobby outside the office. The two men went after their objectives, the half-monkey to Incript, and the one in the suit to the forest.

Location: Incript…

Kickin was with Crafty, inside the car, which was now resting; after all, it had just returned from a race that had netted twenty-five thousand arcanium. The chicken counted the money while Crafty, outside, took some additional photos for that night.

According to Kickin, that night alone, the winnings were two hundred and ninety thousand arcanium.

— How much have we raised this week alone? — the girl asked.

— One and a half million… ha, these guys are crazy to bet that much money on a race like that. But it kind of makes sense… they improve their cars to the maximum that money can buy, and they price their mechanics.

— Um… hey, Dad, are you thinking about trading in that car?

— Hmm?" Not for now, I'll stick with this one. It's spacious and you can even sleep in the backseat." He stretched.

Someone approached;

– Kickin Chicken and Craftycorn? Am I right?- This someone was a half-monkey.

— Yes? What do you want? — Crafty replied smiling.

— Your presence… — She sighed, the tips of her fur turning white and freezing.

The half-animal created two ice spikes and threw them at the two. Kickin dodged them, but Crafty was hit in the shoulder as she tried to dodge. Her arm quickly went numb, she fell to the ground, got up, and scrambled away.

Behind the car, Kickin was unharmed. He glowed with images of stars appearing, His aura manifesting, red and magmatic, like a sun. He flew upward and hit the monkey with a quick dive... well, hit the ground.

— Oh, you warned me, he really did train you guys somehow… — standing in front of Kickin, who quickly got up with his Awakening.

Kickin was bigger, with a wider wingspan than before, wearing a yellow cape with red stars, and the feathers on his wings and tail were two-tone: half blue, half green. And, of course, star-shaped glasses.

— I don't know who you are, but I'm sure who sent you! — Kickin's eyebrows curled inward.

— Try your luck to find out who…-

The fight began with Kickin advancing quickly against the ape, attacking with his wings and claws, all but missing. His opponent was slender and barely moved his arms, and he even teased him by putting his hands in his coat pockets.

In one of these blows, the half-ape punched Kickin in the stomach, knocking him far into the large, empty northern track. The chicken nearly fainted from the blow, but had to dodge a wall of ice created by his opponent.

"He's fast... strong too, he's not just anyone," Kickin thought, noticing a cut on his arm. The wound quickly healed with ice.

— Yeah, you're already in the conversation... the girl was hit, and so were you... since everything will be resolved soon, one of my passives is crystallization. Anyone hit by my blows will have thirty seconds to be completely frozen, — the monkey explained, emerging from the shadows of an alley.

Kickin stared at the ape, then at the wound, thinking quickly as the ice spread…

Sword… Stars… Arrows… Light.

The bird adjusted its position, slapped its thighs, and launched stars of light at the ape, throw after throw. The opponent was fast, but Kickin's body outpaced them.

"How strange, something happened to him…" thought the ape, who immediately advanced forward.

Kickin had expected this and had prepared a sword of light, about to strike… it hit the ground, but an explosion rolled in the direction of the blow, spreading like waves in bays. Kickin attacked to kill, and after his sword strike, he quickly prepared a volley of arrows of light, summoning a multitude of them.

The ape dodged each arrow as if teleporting between them. Kickin stopped attacking, his arm completely frozen, growing into his torso and neck.

"Damn, my arm is screwed! I can't use it, and who is this guy? How did he dodge all this, and still be inside her? It's like being in the eye of a hurricane," Kickin thought, looking at his arm.

The ape walked calmly, cleaning his ear, teasing with it. Kickin's pupils dilated; something was about to happen. The ice monkey was hit by a wave of ink;

— What the hell? What the hell… —After being hit, he looked at the ink; it was dark and a mixture of different colors.

Looking back, the unicorn was walking, holding the large paintbrush behind her, but there was something different about Crafty: she was surrounded by a black aura, her gaze was angry, her entire body was dark, almost black, and her horn was large and cracked.

Her red eyes gave him chills, but the worst thing was… that wasn't the real Crafty; the real one was trapped in the crystal, floating with the dark aura.

— Funny... she was crystallized, but her soul left and took on a will of its own?— The ink on his back froze, the ice shattering the ink, and it disappeared.

That thing resembling Crafty advanced quickly, striking with the brush that strangely cut like a blade. The ink coming from the Inkeverse was dark and mixed with other colors; after a while, this characteristic changes, and the ink turns black.

Lampposts, asphalt, buildings, cars... everything on the street and in the alleys was cut and sliced ​​by the two's fight. The enemy didn't quite understand and focused only on dodging. Kickin was completely frozen, the objective accomplished, all that remained was to escape and not waste time on unnecessary fighting.

The monkey smiles, he quickly charges at the chicken. The shadow Crafty appears very close to Kickin and defends him, but it didn't do much good. The enemy was faster and managed to teleport the recently frozen one... there was one more to go.

He leaped at the frozen girl and managed to teleport her, infuriating the other shadow girl. The shadow girl created a unicorn-shaped aura, which charged at the monkey, leaping from building to building. He was hit, right in the stomach.

He fell from a height, but teleported before hitting the ground.

The black Crafty growled in anger, then disappeared.
