"So when do we go storm the gates of Swayer?!"

"We are still not just going to go do that no matter how motivated and in sync we are now. Swayer is smart and has an entire world of an army with him. If we go in guns blazing, we will be outmatched instantly."

"Okay, when are we getting these blazing guns for heck's sakes!"

"Once again, it's an expression, Wesley!"

"Once again, it's Weser-Man tiger lady! Also, I think we should have guns. It wouldn't hurt anything!"

"I agree with Tigar however, I think umm...Weser-Man is right in saying we should go to Swayer now but not to fight him but to sneak his goons out. With mine and super dorks powers, we should be able to get plenty out before no face notices."

Brady was right, Tigar thought with his phantom feet and phasing and Wesleys' x-ray vision, speed, and elastic skin getting a number of infected Comicians out from Mount Volacnica for Hippo to cure.

It would have to be done quickly, though, as the hive mind connection with the evil mastermind meant that he would be able to see when the goons were taken if they didn't cure them fast enough. Then again, they could make blindfolds to mask them, so they cant see what is happening to them. Yes. It would be a covert stealth mission.

There were only two potential hiccups, and that was she had no idea if Hippo could rapidly cure people one after another and that Cheeta still seemed to be recovering.

Both obstacles made a stealth mission considerably more difficult. As if Hippo cant make quick work of his healing ability, they will most likely get caught before having a handful of Comicians, and he probably won't want to leave Cheeta's side if he hasn't recovered before they leave for their mission.

Looking over to the doctor/patient duo in question, the assumed chief of the Guinea tribe had only begun to stir, which meant he was not even close to being ready to trek to Mount Volcanica.

"Boys, that plan is great, but Cheeta is still recovering, and we don't even know if Hippo can use his abilities as fast as he'd need to for your plan to work, so maybe we should just go back to the burrow for now."

" Aw man, I was ready to kill it on my first official team-up with Brady-Boy!"

"Brady-Boy? Is that supposed to be me?"

"Yeah, do you like it?"

"Not at all..."

A mist the two Earth boys comical exchange Tigar noticed Hippo propping Cheeta up and attempting to feed him bits of the fish they had warmed over the fire. The guinea didn't seem too apprehensive towards the fish at the moment and altogether looked very confused and alarmed.

She broke away from the boys, who continued their banter to see if she could help with Cheeta in any way and if she could get any information from him or at the very least gain a better sense of where he was with his recovery.

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

Approaching them, she crouched down, "Hey Hippo bud let me try," she reached for the fish in his hand.

Hippo nodded, letting his friend take the food and try to succeed where he had been failing.She leaned closer to her fellow guinea, " You need to eat to get your strength back its part of the process once Hippo cures you, I believe." Tigar extended a piece of fish to him and waited until he reluctantly eat it.

She thought a presence of a guinea would ease him up a little, but even though he did eat the fish from her, he looked even more puzzled at her than he did at Hippo, so she redirected her attention to her grey friend.

"So how are we coming along on Cheetas' recovery? The boys have a plan to stealthily rescue more Comicians, but if he isn't fully recovered soon and you need to stay with him, then we can go back to the burrow for now and wait."

"Cheeta still need more time, but Hippo, no need to stay with him."

"What do you mean?"

" Tigar can stay with Cheeta while he gets better can even take him back to burrow."

" Can he make it to the burrow?"

"Just take slow and keep feeding him."

Tigar noticed Cheetas' eyes widened as he listened in on the conversation for some reason. He even managed to prop himself up more as he began eating more fish at a faster capacity. He stopped, then looked to Tigar.

"Take me to the burrows now!"

He was speaking now, but Tigar thought it was rude of him to demand things, but perhaps he just was desperate to get back to his former home, which she could understand.

"Well, hold on, are you capable of curing multiple people right after another Hippo because this mission will call for that as well as getting along with Weser-Man." Cheeta began to stand, supposedly not even paying attention to Tigars' apprehension.

"Hippo do anything to help Comica," and with that, the heroic little miracle worker handed Tigar some more fish and headed towards the other two boys.

"You know how to get to Mount Volcanica from here?"

"Yep, know all Comica like back of hand," he waved back to Tigar in a dismissive manner, not even looking back in her direction.

"Let's go dumb dumb I take you and Brady to rescue Comica."

"Wait, we are going?"

"Yes, us boys go while Tigar help Cheeta Brady."

"Alright, Weser-Man & Brady-Boy adventure one is still ago!" Brady rolled his eyes, still clearly protesting the new alias.

"And Hippo," Hippo protested.

"Yeah, but that doesn't sound as good!"

"Just lead the way Hippo," Brady ignored Wesley's constant silliness taking Hippo by the shoulder moving things along.

Tigar wasn't exactly sure she was okay leaving the boys, but her presence wasn't necessary for the mission's success, and she was slightly excited to have another Guinea in the burrows.

Cheeta was still struggling to stand up all the way, so she went over to help him placing her shoulder underneath his arm to fully prop him up, and help him walk as they began their way to the burrows. Once they found the closest entry point into the burrow, Cheeta seemed to liven up.

He made his crawl down almost completely without a stumble or any help. Inside, his demeanor only enlarged as he appeared to take in the conditions of where he once lived.

" Is it how you remember? I really don't have any memories of how it was before. I was really little when the takeover happened. In fact, I only stayed out of Swayers' reach because I was so small and able to hide where no one could see."

Cheeta took on a look of pain and regret as he looked around the burrows and listened to Tigar.

"I'm sure this is all a lot to take in. Are you okay?"

Cheeta turned to the younger Guinea, "Tigar, you did better than I could have ever imagined. I am so proud of you," he took Tigar into his arms, giving her a tender and loving embrace she had not expected.

"I wish you hadn't had to grow up in a world like this without your mother and me and the whole tribe for that matter, but none the less you became the hero Comica needed!"

Tigar was shocked at the revelation Cheeta had just indulged to her while tightly embracing her. She had to admit it seemed farfetched that the first Guinea she encountered was her father, but there was something about being in his arms that felt familiar, so she just sank into the hug.
