"Teasing Tiger, Leaping Lemur": A Tiger Hybrid Kim Taehyung Short Story

"Teasing Tiger, Leaping Lemur" The Kim Taehyung Tiger Hybrid short story is finally here!!! So this is part one of Taehyung's installment in the hybrid world of Big Bunny, Tiny Tiger (the story of Jungkook and Zoey) and now I am proud to give you the story of Taehyung and Tatiana!!! Eeeep! Be on the lookout for hints as to who comes next in this world!

This has been an ongoing project for months and I'm so happy to finally be able to share it with you!

I hope you enjoy Part One of Teasing Tiger, Leaping Lemur!

Taehyung dragged along the sidewalk, the heat scorching him as he did.

"Why didn't we do this later? It's cooler at night." he groaned, leaning on Jungkook for support as they trailed behind a certain copper haired tiger hybrid.

Zoey rolled her eyes before whipping around, nearly causing the two much larger males to completely run her over.

"Babe!" Jungkook gasped while digging his heels so neither he or Taehyung clobbered her. "A warning would've been nice."

"Sorry, baby." Zoey apologized to her boyfriend.

"Yeah, 'babe'." Taehyung teased. "You need brake lights."

"Shut up, Kim Taehyung." she said. "You are the one who is so insistent on living in the Rainforest District and this is it. And this is where Tati lives. Where YOU want to live. If you wanted the nocturnal sector then you should've said so."

Taehyung rolled his eyes as he reached out to ruffle Zoey's hair… nearly getting his hand tore off in the process.

"Do not TOUCH my hair!" she said, scrambling to fix the coppery strands.

They were already wild beforehand… admittedly.

"Come on, noona." Jungkook said tossing his arm around her shoulder and pulling her into his side. "It's just hot is all."

"And you decide that plastering our sides together will help this problem?" Zoey asked.

Truthfully, she was getting a bit irritated, herself.

They got diverted because of construction on Papaya Boulevard on the way in and they'd had to go the long way round.

She'd forgotten how hot and humid it was here and the reminder of exactly why she left the district was crashing down on her intensely.

"God, you need some dick." Taehyung teased.

Zoey growled launching herself across Jungkook at Taehyung but the former caught her around the waist easily and placed her back.

"Now, now children." Jungkook teased.

"I'm your hyung." "I'm your Noona!" the both of them echoed.

Jungkook laughed and lifted an eyebrow at Taehyung, "You don't even like when I call you hyung."

"And you." he turned to Zoey. "Yes, I'm aware that you're my cute little Noona. Now, please lead the way, babe."

Zoey simmered, only after she'd delivered a swift little kick to Taehyung's butt and led them on.

They eventually reached the right neighborhood.

"Welcome to Passion Village?" Taehyung asked he read the sign. "This sounds like a bad porn, Zo." "It's named after the passion fruit." Zoey said. "But yes I agree it does sound like that."

"I like it." Jungkook said.

"You would." Zoey and Taehyung said unison, making the three of them crack up.

They finally made their way to Bromeliads Apartments, a rather impressive structure in and of itself.

Modern touches with old school nods woven into the very trees of the rainforest.

Most of the apartments in the Rainforest District were essentially very, very nice tree houses.

It combined modern architecture with nature in an absolutely stunning fashion.

Though Aquatown was almost completely underwater and absolutely gorgeous…. that was rich folk town.

"Wow." Jungkook said taking them in.

"Yup." Zoey said. "Now, come on, Tati lives all the way up there."

"The penthouse?" Taehyung asked.

"Not quite." Zoey said. "A few lower. I am still amazed how she managed to snag that one on a teacher's salary."

"Teacher?" Taehyung asked, curiosity flaring in him.

"Yeah, she teaches little ones at the preschool on Palm Avenue. I think it's called Little Leaders or something like that." she said hurrying them both along inside.

Rather than deal with the intercom that was almost never working, she whipped out her phone.

"Hey love!" the voice echoed through the speakers and Zoey apparently had chosen to use the speaker phone.

"Hey, Tati. We're here. We're coming up now." Zoey said as she shooed them into the elevator and hit the correct number."

"Ok, the door is open and I hope you're hungry." the voice said.

Jungkook narrowed his eyes at Zoey, a smile creeping onto his face.

"Always. See you in a sec." Zoey said before ending the call and taking note of the look her boyfriend was giving her. "What?"

"Does everyone in your friendship always try to feed complete strangers?" he teased.

"First off, I'm not a stranger. Tati is the love of my life." Zoey said.

Jungkook laughed, "Gee thanks."

"Hey, listen. I love you. I do. And yeah you are the love of my life. But listen Tati and me go way back." "Further than us?" Taehyung asked, a smirk on his features.

"Ugh." she groaned. "No, I guess not but like me and Tati been through some shit together. So I am not a stranger and Jungkook you have literally hung out with her like several times already!"

"So I'm the only stranger then." Taehyung concluded, his nerves kind of gaining on him.

Zoey placed a hand on his arm, "It'll only be for a second. Tati is really nice."

"She is cool, man." Jungkook added, "I was just messing with Zo. Tati is nice. You'll like her."

"I hope so." Taehyung said. "I mean, I am trying to find a place here."

"Just relax and if it's meant to be then it will. I did talk to her and she's open to a roommate." Zoey assured her friend.

For all their bickering, Zoey and Taehyung did actually go way back and he would always be like a brother to her.

She cared for him and would help him in any way that she could.

The doors opened and three of them made their way down the hall, Jungkook and Taehyung following behind Zoey until they reached a door about halfway down.

Zoey rapped her knuckles on the door before swinging it open, knowing that Tati wouldn't care.

"Tati! We're here!" she called out before looking at the two men standing in the door. "What are you doing? Come on."

"We didn't expect you to just go right in, babe." Jungkook laughed stepping inside and sliding his shoes off beside her, followed closely by Taehyung.

"Make yourselves at home! I'm in the kitchen!" a voice called out.

"Oh we will!" Zoey called back, crashing onto the couch.

"Not you, you little hussy! You get your butt in here and help me!" the voice called back.

Zoey laughed, getting to her feet again before turning to them.

"Really, take a seat and relax. Tati's chill. Turn the tv on or whatever." she said before leaning up to peck Jungkook's lips. "I'll just be in the kitchen."

She disappeared around the corner as Jungkook and Taehyung took a seat.

"Thanks for coming with me." Taehyung said.

"Of course." Jungkook responded. "It takes the pressure off since you two don't know each other. I get it."

Taehyung nodded, taking in the place.

It was beautiful in design.

There were modern elements blended with natural textures and plant life blooming everywhere.

She seemed to like the theme of blending the two.

A vintage record player sat in the corner with the soothing tones of Elvis Presley's 'Love Me Tender' echoing around the apartment.

The scents bleeding into the room from the kitchen were sweet and savory and while he couldn't quite place them all, he knew that it was certainly interesting to him.

It mixed with the soft vanilla scent that he assumed was coming from the oil diffuser hidden amongst some of the plants.

The clicking of toe nails on wood caught his attention and he turned just in time to see a little brown chihuahua hop up on the couch with him, easily cuddling into his side and sniffing him down.

"Cocoa? Cocoa? Come here, girl."

Taehyung looked up and immediately felt like he was in some kind of drama where the title character sees the love interest.

She smiled at him, a bright curve to her smooth brown face that made the glimmering golden eyes twinkle in the light.

Her hair hung about her in thick black and white braids that matched the extremely long striped tail that curled behind her.

Clearly, she belonged to the group of hybrids who's animal counterparts presented very strongly.

Some mimicked those genes a lot while others barely showed more than something like ears and a tail.

Zoey, for example, had a very strong Bengal Tiger presentation while Taehyung barely showed more than the coloring of his ears and tail.

"Oh, hello. Sorry about that. Cocoa, leave him be. He might not want you on him." she said making her way towards him. "I'm Tatiana but you can call me Tati. You must be Taehyung."

For a moment, he simply stared.

Jungkook hid his amusement with a cough and nudged Taehyung with his foot.

He snapped out of it, blinking rapidly, "Uh, yeah, yes, sorry. I'm Taehyung. You can call me Tae if you like. Ni- Nice to meet you Tati."

She smiled at him.

"You'll have to excuse Cocoa." she said, picking up the little brown dog. "She loves people and attention. A little cuddle bug."

She pressed a kiss to the top of the dog's head before she sat her down and she went scurrying off towards the kitchen again.

"I don't mind." he said. "I, uh, I have a dog myself. A pomeranian. Yeontan is his name."

"How cute." Tati smiled. "Well, at least you know that if you do decide to move in here, that pets are fine as long as they're not like an elephant or anything."

Jungkook and Taehyung chuckled.

"You laugh but that was literally an issue. That's why the rule. Ms. Long on the first floor literally brought a baby elephant home one day because it had lost it's mother. FYI, that is the same elephant that is at the local animal rehabilitation center on Durian Street. His name is Cashew and he's quite the personality." she said.

"Tati, this is bubbling and I think it's gonna blow up!" Zoey's voice echoed from the kitchen. "I'm not trying to die over Laoka!"

Tati sighed and shook her head, "If you two want to head over to the table, "It'll be ready in just a moment."

Neither of them needed to be told twice, especially Jungkook, whose nose was already twitching with excitement.

He'd had the privilege of eating Tati's cooking before and learned very quickly that he was a fan of the recipes of Madagascar.

He just liked Tati in general.

She always smelled like warm vanilla or rich chocolate.

She made fantastic recipes that she was always sending home with Zoey or bringing when she'd visited their place.

And she had always been incredibly kind to him.

She was one of Zoey's closest friends and so it was important to Jungkook from the beginning that he make a good impression.

Lucky for him, Tati was a very accepting person who didn't tend to put pressure on a lot of things.

He supposed her endless patience came from dealing with the large group of preschoolers that she taught on a daily basis.

While he liked kids, he didn't know how on earth she did that all day every day and still have the presence of mind to function.

Taehyung, it seemed, was all but in love that moment and Jungkook had to elbow him in the ribs to get him to snap out of it.

"You're being kind of obvious," he said to Taehyung.

A flush started to crawl up his golden skin and Jungkook barely contained his snickering.

Soon enough the Tati was wheeling out a little bar cart full of dishes, Zoey trailing behind her with a tray of drinks and pitcher.

"You know… that is so freaking smart." Jungkook looking at the cart.

"What?" Tati glanced up at him before following his line of sight and chuckling, "Oh, yeah. I got so tired of making so many trips. My grandmother taught me how to cook and for her it was all about the side dishes. However, she had more patience than I did when it came to making a thousand trips into the kitchen. This was worth every scent from Skykea. Plus it makes loading the dishwasher a breeze."

"Had?" Taehyung found himself asking before he knew it.

Tati smiled at him softly, passing him a dish to sit on the table, "Yes, she passed away several years ago. But she raised me. She taught me alot and I miss her but I see her every day."

At his confused look she only smiled, "I see her almost every day when I look in the mirror."

Zoey turned and picked up a picture off the table and handed it to Taehyung, "That's Tatiana the first."

"You were named after her?" Taehyung asked, looking at the woman in the photo.

Tati did in fact look almost like a carbon copy of the lemur hybrid in the photo.

The styling was different, of course, it was a different time but she looked just like her.

Tati smiled, taking the photo in hand, "Yeah, funny how it worked out honestly. She went by Ana and she always called me Tati. Neither of us really ever went by Tatiana but as I've gotten older and since she'd passed, I don't mind it. It makes me feel closer to her."

Taehyung nodded, "I can understand that. My grandfather picked out my name. He and my grandmother actually raised me mostly too. They passed away some time ago."

Tati settled a hand on his shoulder, her golden eyes almost seeming to glow as they looked at one another.

"I'm sure you miss them. I know it hurts and I won't pretend to know your beliefs but my grandmother always said that people never really leave us. As they pass on, they simply change and help us along in life. She always said that our ancestors are a passage between the living and the dead. She always said that this life is temporary and we'll all make it to the Land of the Ancestors eventually and see the creator." she said and then shrugged. "Of course, I don't know what you believe, Taehyung, but I know when I was little and I lost my parents and went to live with her… she told me that and it helped me alot. And when she passed, I remembered her words and that I'd see her again… and it brought me comfort."

Taehyung could only stare at her after her little speech.

Who was he to her to reveal something so personal and to feel the need to comfort a perfect stranger?

It both confused and drew him in.

Jungkook sensing that Taehyung was lost in his thoughts, jumped in and began asking questions about the food which Tati was all too happy to answer.

Tati was quick to explain what dishes were vegetarian and what weren't, having provided a selection of both as she knew both Jungkook and Zoey did not eat meat.

"And there are sauces as well on the side because I wasn't sure who did spicy or not. So add to your content." she said and gestured to a few bowls. "This is sakay which is basically just chilies, garlic, ginger and olive oil. It's actually really good. And this is my grandmother's recipe for mango habanero sauce." she explained.

Zoey cut in, "Tae, you trust me?"

Taehyung lifted a brow at the little red head, "Uh, maybe?"

"I know what you eat!" she argued before she sighed, "All I was gonna say is just let me fix your plate. I been eating Tati's food for years. Let me hook you up."

"I don't know that I trust you." he teased, feeling a bit more at ease.

"Pft." she scoffed, making Tati laugh. "You've eaten everything I've cooked."

"And you've given me food poisoning. Twice." he countered.

"That was an accident and that second time was not my fault! I told you not to eat that fish and you did it anyway!" Zoey said, snatching his plate away anyway. "Well, at least take comfort in the fact that I cooked this food so you won't be getting food poisoning." Tati added, pouring him a glass of lemonade and passing it along.

"Yeah, but she was left unsupervised in there for like five minutes." he teased.

"Ugh." Zoey grumbled. "I can't stand you. Fix it your damn self then!"

Tati laughed, intercepting the plate before Zoey's temper could get the best of her.

"I'll give you a plate, Taehyung-ah." she said, adding heaping servings onto his plate. "I can tell that you two have history especially if she's so willing to be a little beast with you."

"That is a prejudiced term and I resent it." Zoey huffed, not at all serious.

Tati lifted a brow at her small friend, "Everyone at this table is a hybrid, Zo. And you are a beast. A beast from hell."

"You don't even believe in hell." Zoey laughed.

"No but you do." Tati winked, effectively making Zoey flush.

"Stop that." Zoey said.

"Stop winking at me. You know I can't resist you and your hotness. My boyfriend is sitting right there." Zoey said, effectively flustered.

"What is true friendship if you can't make your friends cringe by flirting with them?" Tati asked.

Taehyung smiled.

He was seeing more and more of her teasing nature and he was beginning to like it.

"Sounds like you and Jiminie." he said to Jungkook.

"Jiminie?" Tati asked.

"Our friend, Jimin." Jungkook clarified with a laugh. "It's all playful of course. But we often flirt with one another to see who will crack first."

"Ah." Tati said. "I would do that to this one but she always blushes when I flirt with her. We've got another friend though who is completely shameless. Zuni is ridiculous sometimes. She just has no fear."

Jungkook snorted, "Sounds like Jiminie."

"Maybe we should introduce them." Tati said to Zoey.

"Oh god, no." she said. "Then there would be two of them."

"Hey, that's not such a bad thing." Taehyung spoke up.

"Well of course you would say that about your soulmate." Jungkook said.

"Oh? He your boyfriend?" Tati asked.

Taehyung nearly choked on his rice, "No, no. He's my best friend. We're just very close. Soulmate in the other sense of the word."

"Ah, I see." Tati said.

"Like me and you, bestie." Zoey said, blinking at Tatiana.

"Careful, Zo. Or you'll make somebunny jealous." Tati teased, aiming a wink at Jungkook.

Who, bless his heart, couldn't help but blush at the attention.

Tatiana, for all her gentleness and loving nature, apparently had quite the effect on people.

Perhaps it was the beauty or the smile or the way she spoke.

But Taehyung decided right then and there that he wanted to see more of her.

The night went along as usual, filled with drinks and laughter and more than a few records playing in the background.

Soon enough Zoey was all but dragging a tipsy Jungkook into the elevator only after assuring Tati that they would all be taking an Uber back.

Taehyung hung back in the door just a second.

"So what do you think?" she asked. "You interested in moving in?"

He nodded, "I am. I think we'd get along well. But part of me hesitates."

"Oh?" she asked, brows rising. "What are your concerns?"

He breathed out a laugh, "My concern is that if I move in, I don't know if I'll ever want to leave."

Tati furrowed her brows, "And that is a problem because?"

"Because I have a crush on you and we're not even roommates yet." he said flatly. "And while I do want to live her… I want you to give me a shot even more."

Tati blinked at him before she sighed, "Oh, uh, ok. Uh, but I hope you don't mind me asking but why can't both things coincide?"

He glanced at her, secretly rejoicing at what she was hinting at but also careful of the situation, "In the event of a break up?"

Tati chuckled, "Taehyung. You're already giving yourself anxiety over a breakup for a hypothetical relationship."

"I just don't want to be put in the friend zone." he admitted. "Or worse, the roommate zone. That's where relationships go to die."

Tati laughed, making him smile.

"Well, how about this?" she said. "You come do a trial run for like a week or something. In that time you can decide if you actually want to live here and also I'm sure you'll get a pretty good idea if you just think I'm cute or you actually want to date me."

"First of all, you would just let me do a trial run?" he asked.

"You're Zoey's friend." she pointed out, her tail curling behind her in amusement. . "If you did anything, A- I'd kick your ass. B- she would hunt you down. C- I'm fairly sure Jungkook would murder you if you cut off his newest food source. "

Taehyung laughed in amusement but he knew it was true.

"And also, you're pretty cute and I just kinda wanna hang out with you some more." she admitted.

Taehyung beamed and Tatiana all but fell out right there.

He was handsome and there was no denying that but when he smiled like that… he was radiant.

His big dark eyes sparkled and his grin turned boxy and absolutely wonderful.

Tatiana was suddenly regretting her decision all together.

How in the fuck was she going to survive a week with him?

Though it seemed it was too late.

"I'm in." he said. "Call me and let me know when."

They said their goodbyes and Tati closed the door behind him.

"I am so fucked."

Hmmm how about stolas with owl traits? Like neck turning around or moving silently and scaring the shit out of people or something lmao (any media u want)

Stolas Is An Owl After All

“Sir, Why is he here!?”Moxxie whisper yelled in stark contrast to his wife who had on a cheerful smile on her face as she had a conversation with the Goetia at the end of the table who had just dropped by at the end of the day during their meeting out of the blue… or at least that was what everyone aside from The Prince and his lover knew.

Blitzo looked at his weapon specialist with a very blank and very fake expression “Probably just some shitty business Mox. Nothing to worry your Ass over”The Lust Imp stated matter of factly thinking that was it and turning away with a smirk as he looked back at the Owl

“Sir, you're holding flowers with Your tail.”Moxxie deadpanned, noting the small Bouquet of pink roses his boss had wrapped in his tail that he was hiding behind his chair and Blitzo almost yelled at him before they heard an “Eeeep!” Making them turn to see Millie with a hand over her mouth at the very unique thing Stolas had just done

Apparently upon hearing the slight mention of flowers, He had twisted his head a full 240 degrees that would have made his neck snap if not for his noctuan anatomy just to look at the other end of the table and cocking his head down as well with a wide smile on his face “Flowers? Oh Blitzy you do know how to flatter me.”Stolas said affectionately his neck turning back to a “normal” degree but had already left the married couple in the room both speacheless, with Loona almost jumping out of her seat while her Father just blinked as if it was normal

“Goddamnit Mox, thanks for spoiling the surprise…”Blitzo grumbled standing up and climbing up on the table and walking across it with Moxxie still too shocked to complain as he usually would

“I wanted to surprise you outside, but fuck it got spoiled so I guess here you go bird brain” Blitzo said tossing the flowers in the air and catching them in his hand and presenting them to the Prince with an awkward grin as he used his free hand to scratch the back of his neck “Oh Blitzy they are absolutefuly Beautiful, Not quite as beautiful as you of course but I still thank you for them nonetheless”Stolas said accepting the flowers before quite literally pecking his boyfriend on the lips before grabbing The Imp’s hand and helping him off the table and to the floor

“Shall we be off?”The Prince asked affectionately “Fuck Yeah, Loonie I may be home a little late, There’s some steak in the fridge enjoy!”Blitzo exclaimed with a wave as he and Stolas walked out hand in hand the door closing behind them from a azure blue aura the three left counting their blessings the Prince didn’t twist his neck back to say goodbye

“And I thought that entrance a few weeks back was nightmare fuel…''Loona stated with a shudder as the married couple still looked at where the prince once stood in complete bafflement.

I Hope this satisfied the ask well enough, and I hope it was okay I put a little Stolitz in there. Thank you so much for the ask!

A Suna Rintarou Series |

Summary: Suna was the best boyfriend you could ask for, after fighting with your inner demons that screamed you were ugly, worthless, and annoying. You finally decided to go the next step with your boyfriend, only to find out it was all a game.

A\N: Part 5!!!! Lajauwjshwisjsusjs lol

Warnings: underaged drinking, smut, guys talking badly about women, heartbreak, messed up shit that you shouldn’t do and a bit of fluff if you squint

Disc three-slide one: Kageyama Y/N 🤍

You hummed quietly as you grabbed your books from your locker. Completely unaware of the boy behind you. “Hi Kageyama.” You heard a whisper in your ear. You jumped and put a hand over you chest. “Jesus, Miya.” You sigh but quickly push that aside. “I wanted to see who stole my boy Suna’s heart.” Atsumu gave a closed eye smile.

You blushed and looked away as the twin stared down at you. “You’re so much cuter than how Suna described you, ya know.” He said and you covered your face in embarrassment but your ears gave it all away due to your neatly kept ponytail. Atsumu thought it was so funny and cute how flustered you got with such little words. “Thanks i guess, is there anything I can help you with?” You asked. “You’re working on that project with Suna during lunch right?” He asked and you nodded.

“Darn.” He snapped his fingers and put his hand on his hip. He seemed to be in deep thought. “I need help with chemistry so I was wondering if you could help me study for an upcoming exam.” He chuckled and rubbed the back of his head. “I’d be more than happy to help you out, Miya. But you have practice before and after school, and I’m booked during lunch because of the project.” You frowned.

“I know.” He sighed, “Guess I’ll try to ask ‘samu but he yells and I don’t like the way he teaches.” He whined. You fiddled with your fingers not knowing what to say, I mean you wanna help him out. If he fails his test he won’t be able to play volleyball and you don’t want that. “I-if you want...I can tutor you after practice for a bit...” you spoke up completely unaware of your fox like boyfriend towering behind you. “Tutor for what?” You heard and long arms wrapped around your waist from behind. Suna rested his chin on your head and gave pissy hair a glare.

“Rin—I thought we agreed on no PDA...” your face was flushed red. “But princess, how am I supposed to show players like ‘Tsumu that you’re my girlfriend.” It sounded more like a statement than a question. “He just needs a tutor for chemistry..” you answered honestly. “Is that so..? Can I join the study party too? I’m not doing so hot in chemistry as well.” Suna admitted and you turned your head to look at him. “I don’t see why not..” you told him.

Before you knew it his hand grabbed your chin and he stole your lips into a kiss. You kissed back but quickly pulled away because you were at school and now everyone was looking at you three. You looked back at Atsumu and his eye twitched when he looked at your boyfriend.

“So today after practice is fine?” You asked and they both looked down at you and nodded. “Okay, I’ll see you both later.” You said simply and pulled away from Suna’s grasp. You closed your locker with your needed books in hand and you walked away. You head was down and your books covered your face to hide your blush.

“Bitch what was that?!” You friend whisper yelled and shook your shoulder. You looked at her and shook your head, “I honestly don’t know.” You said. “Are you dating, Suna?” She asked and you nodded. “Eeeep! I need details later okay?” She asked with a wink and you hesitantly nodded. “Bye bye!” She waved and you waved back to head to your first class.

You shared a class with Suna so when he sat next to you to pair up for the project again everyone was looking at your every move. Almost everyone saw what went down by your locker and Suna didn’t seem like the type to do something so bold. Let alone with the top student of the class. Word spreaded around fast like wildfire and Suna was satisfied. All that PDA that went down in the morning was forgotten in his mind and he never touched you for the rest of the day.

You were originally going to go to the library after school to wait for the boys but Atsumu persistently asked if you could come see their practice. You eventually agreed and wondered When was the last time you’ve been on a volleyball court.

Atsumu was chatting your ear away about how good of a setter he was and he started explaining what a setter is and you tried not to laugh because you know how volleyball works and not only were you a good setter in middle school but your cousin is an amazing setter as well.

But he seemed so happy you didn’t want to burst his bubble. “Well well well, who do we have here?” You heard and turned around. “‘Samu! Look isn’t Suna’s girlfriend cute!~” Atsumu patted your head and you removed his hand. “She’s so adorable I just wanna gobble her up.” He gave a smirk to Suna’s way and they both shot daggers at one another. You stood in between them completely oblivious to their fighting and you gave a slight bow to Osamu. “Nice to meet you. Rin has told me a lot about you. It’s nice to know he has a good friend.” You smiled softly.

Osamu coughed and looked away,

Why are you so fucking cute?!

Suna really did get such a cute girlfriend. “It’s nice to meet you too, please take care of Suna and my idiot brother since he told me you would tutor him today.” He said and you nodded. “Whatever, we’re gonna be late. Y/N, wait by the gym entrance for our captain, Kita or the coach.” Suna said and you nodded. He gave you a small smile and he walked away to the club room with the twins following behind him.

The coach arrived first and asked who you were and you explained that you would be tutoring Suna and Atsumu after practice. You apologized for barging in but he shook his head and said that it was fine.

“If you don’t have anything to do, do you mind helping me out with a few things while they practice?” He asked and you shook your head. “I don’t mind what do you need help with?” You asked. He gave you several tasks such as a small inventory in the storage area, filling up the water bottles and getting the colored vests ready for a practice match. You were honestly buzzing with excitement, you haven’t seen a volleyball game so up close in ages. Even if it was simply a practice match. You managed to meet the rear of Inarizaki’s volleyball team and Kita was very kind to you and it made you wish he was your older brother.

You helped out the coach more by taking a few notes for him as he talked and you thanked god you were such a fast note taker because you managed to get every single word down. Everyone on the team especially the twins and your boyfriend noticed how good and natural you worked around the court. “Suna ask her to be team manager.” Osamu nudged him. “Hell no.” He shook his head. He sees you enough during class, and in all honesty he doesn’t wanna actually catch feelings for you. You were naturally sweet and he didn’t want to feel more like a piece of shit.

“Why does Suna have to ask her?” Ojiro asked, by this time everyone turned to look at the three second years and Atsumu spoke up with a smirk. “She’s Suna’s girlfriend.”

“Girlfriend?!” They all repeated in shock.

“What the fuck does she see in you anyways? Poor girl must be blind.” Hitoshi said which lowkey pissed off your boyfriend. “Nah he’s more like her Prince Charming because he was so romantic on their first date.” Atsumu teased which caused Suna’s ears to turn red. “That’s hard to believe.” One of their teammates spoke up. “Either way I think, Kageyama is doing a good job. If he won’t ask her, I will.” Kita said seriously and the three second years gulped.

The gym doors opened and the team they would be up against arrived.

Spritefather and Selene Interaction

A fan drabble for @clouds-rambles, I hope I characterized Selene right

Without much prompting it's a tad hard to write like this, but I hope it works.

Also I hope you don't mind me mentioning Cael amnesia anon.

(Selene was hanging out with Cael when Venti makes trouble, bringing the night to a close)

(Selene pov)

Yet again, I had to drag Cael's boyfriend out of the bar. This time because he thought someone was insulting his father and punched them, but he was just talking about some mythological person called 'Spritefather'.

I haven't thought about that story in a long time, not since I was a kid. Something about him being able to "use all elements" or something and how he "taught Barbados about freedom", maybe I'll ask Lisa about it.

"Excuse me madam, my father needs to speak to that man you're carrying. Please, hand him to me." I heard a voice from behind me say, the accent was a thick Schneznayan one.

I turned around to meet the person, a woman in an outfit that wouldn't look out of place in a family portrait of old Schneznayan nobility, they also held a vision.

A cryo vision.

I three Venti into a hay pile and summoned my spear, "your a pretty bad liar, LA SIGNORA!"

"No wait! You've got it all w-" I jabbed at her with my spear, using conduct to increase it's power, "I said wait!-"

"I don't bargain with people who hurt my friends!" Hehe, that was a cool line, nice one Selene.

"W-WHAT!? HOW DARE YOU INSINUATE THAT I WOULD HURT MY OWN BROTHER!" The woman gasped and pointed behind me.

I looked back and saw an abyss mage sneaking away with Venti.

"HEY! THAT'S MY BROTHER/BEST FRIEND'S BOYFRIEND!"

The mage noticed and bolted away. We chased it all the way to star conch cliff, where it threw Venti over the edge.

"Haha! Do your worst human! I have already completed my mission! Now without your precious archon, mondstadt will-!"

A tornado of water sprouted up from the sea, then froze in place. From the newly formed spiral of ice rose a cloaked man, and around him were 6 wisps of every element but cryo.

The mage turned around, and were it not for the dendro tendril crushing it's windpipe they would have screamed in horror.

"First you threaten to kill my son," the cloaked man stepped off the spire, the air polarizing itself with electro to form a step, "then you kidnap him while my daughter is trying to retrieve him," another step, this time the air simply pushes him up to form a step, "and now you have followed through on that threat. It tried to," the man took one last, powerful step, to which a geo platform met his feet and lifted him to the hanging abyss mage, "how truly foolish must you be."

He man then lit the tendril on fire, burning the mage like a furby in a campfire.

The man lowered himself down, Venti in his arms, and said, "I'm sorry Barbados, I should have gone to get you myself. Viktoria, what happened?"

Then he noticed me.

"EEEEP!" He shouted as he dropped Venti with a thud.

_____________________

(3rd person limited, Spritefather pov)

'Oh celestia, a person! No no, keep it together. You love interacting with humans in a controlled manner. This is just as controlled, just...a suprise.' Spritefather thought.

"By Barbados' hairy nostrils! You're the Spritefather!" The human Selene shouted.

Spritefather straightened himself out and cleared his throat, "y-yes, I am. But I am not 'the' Spritefather, I'm just Spritefather. Saying 'the Spritefather' is like calling you 'the Selene'. But now isn't the time for such trivial bickerings," Spritefather gave a gentlemanly bow, "thank you for attempting to rescue my eldest child, and for taking him home everytime he indulges a bit to much on vices."

Viktoria facepalmed, "dad! They aren't supposed to know that!"

"Well why not? They're friends with him, and best friends with his boyfriend. Which by the way I STILL need to meet-" he noticed Selene was seeming kind if pale, "you ok?"

*thud*

"Oh dear."

_____________________

(3rd person omniscient pov)

(There's no good point to explain this, but they're in a serenitea pot)

Selene woke up in a very confused state, and on a cloaked woman's lap.

"Please do not be alarmed, neither me nor my daughter did anything to you." The woman said.

Selene, in response, punched the woman and scrambled away, "who the abyss are you!?"

"Well I'm not particularly loved by celestia but I'd hardly say I'm abyssal.."

"Father, people here are not as accustomed to the divine as Liyue or Inazuma." The woman from before, who Selene thought was La Signora, said as she approached them with some tea.

"Wait, fa-no, no. Don't do that Selene, it's rude."

The cloaked woman shook her hands to dismiss Selene's concern, "it's fine, however I thank you for your accepting nature. Though it is to be excepted given your personal identity."

"How do you know me?"

"Heh, have you forgotten already? Though I suppose the change in form is not common among you humans. And nonexistent in the way me and the wisps can do."

The woman got up and started twirling, then surrounded themself in elemental power, and when it cleared stood the cloaked man Selene saw in her dream...

*wait*

"That wasn't a dream...holy shit that wasn't a dream! You're the Spritefather-I mean-you're Spritefather! Your real!"

"Indeed I am. I would think everyone in mondstadt believes I'm real, but atleast that leaves less for that misconception."

"What misconception?"

"Ask Barbados, shouldn't be too hard since you two are close."

"Barba-wait Venti is actually Barbados!?

"Oh dear I'm making this worse."

The still unnamed woman sighed and shook her head, "how about we focus on why my dad decided to be a woman? Surely that would be a far more easy thing to understand."

"It's because she likes women, and I don't blame her. World cold and hard, titty warm and soft."

"Dad who taught you that!?"

"You do realize I can hear the lives of all in my home yes?"

"I guess I'm at fault." Selene laughed.

"I will have my revenge upon you for this." The woman responded.

Spritefather chuckled, "oh? And how about you get your revenge over a date. Anastasia."

"F-FATHER!"

"What? She's single, friends to someone who can teach her proper tea ceremonies, and uh....they have....hmmm..." Spritefather was trying to think if what he could say to convince his daughter, "look I just want to see grand kids!"

"FATHER"

"K-KIDS!?"

"Look I'm pushing fifty million! If one of you doesn't get me kids in the next ten million years I'm going to grow grey hair!"

Anastasia starts forming an ice throwing knife, "REBEL'S-"

"Papa, what happen?" Came a childish voice.

Selene gasped, they were looking at probably the cutest thing EVER!

"Oh my ARCHONS! IS THAT A PYROSPRITE!?"

"Yes that's my child Flameo-"

Selene, already having picked up the the baby, "they're so CUTE!"

They hugged the little flame close to their face and nuzzled them, to which Flameo quickly responded to with their own.

"Smell like..." they thought for a moment, "big Bro Bardos!" They flew around Selene excitedly, "friend!"

Spritefather sighed, "Oh dear, now the rest will be coming out. And I just got them to sleep aswell."

It wasn't long before Selene was surrounded by six Sprites.

The Electrosprite landed on her vision and started vibrating happily.

The Geosprite asked, "are you strong!? I think I could be you!"

"Oh I'm sure you could." Selene said to appease the little Sprite as she chuckled chuckled.

The Anemosprite and Pyrosprite flew around her head like children.

The Hydrosprite was inspecting her clothes, "how utterly bourgeois, has my Brother and father been teaching you how to dress? Honestly, the people of mondstadt should learn from the reconnaissance captain of the knights. Now there's a woman who knows how to dress."

"Oh you mean Eula?"

"You know her?"

"Oh yeah, she's invites me to tea every now and then."

"SHE...invites....YOU...out for TEA!?-"

Anastasia puts her hand over the Hydrosprite and tries to hold her back

"Sorry about that," the woman replied, "kids and their crushes."

(Agua, muffled: I'M SIXTEENTH HUNDRED YEARS OLD!)

"Ha-haaa...."

Selene couldn't respond to that as they felt a prick in her spine, causing them to yelp.

A Dendrodsprite slinkied up her back and put it's head on her shoulder, "just sampling...never seen blood like yours...so intertwined with the...divine....yet so distan-"

Spritefather picked up his child, "please forgive Leafy, they're in their...adventurous stage. And their adventure is to learn things. Often things that involve pins and needles."

This was going to be a looong night

_____________________

The next day, Vanessa's tree

Selene yawns and falls on the statue, Venti doing the same. The difference between them is one is hungover and waiting for his boyfriend to take him home after the fifth assassination attempt this week, the other has to deal with the consequences of being loved by children and being there to try and stop the most recent assassination

"Holy shit....this hang over....I thought Decrabain's hailstorms were bad..."

"You shouldn't try watching after Leafy.....but I think half the pains are from Agua's jealousy bites......"

"You think that's bad?.....you should have seen them when they realized Cael and I....were dating....."

"...archons I hope I was never like that as a kid...."

"Oh cherry up you two!" Spritefather said, a bit too loud for the two, "it's a new day and-"

Venti hit his father with a clump of grass using anemo

"YOUNG MAN!-

"Ohheythere'sCaelgottagobye!" The archon said as he ran off.

Spritefather sighed, "he's always like that, running from responsibilities. But he always means up when it counts, so I can only say I'm proud of the man he's become," he thought for a moment, "except for when he turns into a woman for whatever reason, then I'm proud of the woman she's become...you know, after being around single form life for so long stuff like that feels so strange. I mean you humans are born with one form and cant naturally change it. But if you feel it's wrong you'll go through so much trouble just to get close to what us shape changers can get. While to humans it is inspiring purely because of the person's determination to take the form they so deserve, that they were truly meant to have. But for me it's so much more! The human spirit and will is oh so inspiring, but the amount humans go through! So much money, so much time, and in many places simply enduring life! Why even I couldn't get the...uh...transphobia is it?...out of Inazuma!Terribly sorry human language changes so much. Oh and on language! To think that I was there when the first cave man was trying to mimic the grunts of the gods, only to make something so much superior to them to the point that the gods copied THEM! And speaking of copies have you ever heard of the time Dainsleif-" he paused as he saw Selene's bored face, "sorry. One little thing and I start ranting and rave...no, it's info dumping. And I should thank you humans for making that term, and all the other wonder words you've made, and the medical advances. They've helped me understand myself....ah but look at me, rambling on again. You know what? For entertaining my kids the whole night, and listening to an old man's ramblings, I'll give you a boon. Anything you want, if I can get it you shall have it."

Selene thought for a moment. She thought about asking him to bring back her father, but they knew he couldn't raise the dead. She even thought...of her mother, to see her again, but they knew that it wouldn't help. A selfish part of her even wanted someway to reignite her's and Rosaria's relationship, after all that part of her life was, but she knew it would be wrong and that they both agree they just didn't work.

Perhaps just ask for mora? She did need some for a good night's rest, but that felt wasteful. What was one night's rest for what could be a lifetime of amazing power. But maybe it would be wrong to ask for something like power. Ah! She's got it!

"How about a spear? A really powerful one that compliments my powers perfectly! Oh! And make it look really cool!"

Spritefather blinked, then laughed, "well, that's rather simple isn't it? So amazing you humans. You expect them to make something big and/or selfish, like taking control of a country, or killing someone. Yet never once has one of my boons been used for anything bad. Even when they're selfish. Like one time I met a very selfish person who I granted a boon, and all he did with it was ask me to make sure the kids of Inazuma were never hungry. Ah, now that. That was ranting, sorry." Spritefather walked over to the statue's base and knocked three times, "hello Vanessa. It's been a while since I last called you, but I was hoping you could give me a hand? And perhaps a very sturdy branch off your tree?"

"Uhhh-"

A light shown down from the heavens and the ground shook, causing a skeletal hand to rise from the depths.

Selene would have screeched if she weren't so tired, "I'd prefer my weapon to be less...body part-sy."

"Nonsense! Everyone knows that bones make the best weapons! You know why it's called a prototype rancor?! BECAUSE NOONE WANTS TO ACCEPT THAT THE PERFECTED VERSION I, THE INVENTOR, MADE INCLUDES THE SHINBONES OF MITSCHURLS! YOU EVER SEEN A-*ahem*-sorry, rambling."

As he was ranting, a branch handed Spritefather a sturdy branch from the tree.

"Perfect, now a bit of magic and-" the two items blew up in Spritefather's face before reforming into a purple and black spear that ended in a feathery sleeve like pattern that was attached to a sharp blade that looked very much like a hand made into a spear blade. Mainly because it was.

A brilliant light shone down on the Spritefather as he floated up and presented the spear to Selene(mumbled: thanks Venessa)

"SELENE OF MONDSTADT!"

His voice became that of s god's, filled with power and compassion, booming across windrise.

"YOU HAVE SPOKEN YOUR WISH, AND BY MY HONOR AS THE ENTERNAL FATHER, I AM DUTY BOUND TO GRANT IT!"

He leans imup to Selene and whispered to her, "do you like the eternal father moniker? I thought it up myself."

"Oh yeah, 10/10, really keeping with the Inazuman background."

"Thanks."

"TAKE YOUR GRAND BLADE, AND GO FORTH TO CARVE THROWS DESTINY AND TILL YOUR OWN FUTURE!"

Selene took the spear, "uh...thanks?"

"Oh your very welcome. By the way how was that delivery? I've been working on the whole 'I am a powerful being' delivery for a few centuries."

"A bit hard to understand, but overall gets the vibe across. Maybe 8/10? Low seven probably."

"Yeah, I kind of expected that. Wonder how else I could get that effect, you know without the whole can't understand thing."

"Well, I've got teo other immortals to meet. Ones I need to question."

"Ah yes, I'm sure Cael and Barbados have much to answer for to you."

"Yes they do. I don't suppose 'see you around' would be appropriate here?"

"On a sense? It's appropriate. After all I'm your friend now aswell, and I prefer a life without isolation. So...see you round?"

"Sure, see you around."

_____________________

Admittedly didn't know how to end this. I like it but I'm a tad worried I made it to focused on my character and didn't give Selene enough attention.

Regardless I hope you enjoyed it cloud! I really tried to get Selene right. And sorry it took so long, sleep kept getting messed up, and then covid shot+forgetting to hydrate kicked my ass.

Bats What I Like About You - Part 9

The story: During a camping trip, Poppy tells a campfire story about a magic wish-granting tree which is believed to exist in the Troll world. However, Branch doesn’t believe in the story and says that magic wish-granting trees don’t exist. His disbelief gets the better of him when he finds the tree and before he knows what is going on with it, it casts a spell on Branch, causing him to transform into a vampire bat and believe that the tree does exist! Now stuck as a bat, he has to try to get himself back to normal with the help of a bat named Feng, who tags along with him for the rest of the adventure.

You already seen what had happened in Part 8. Now get ready for Part 9!:

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppp!!!”

The echoing squeak still boomed around the woods as Branch continued fly towards the sound. His face was full of worry when he recognized that squeak. Could it be really Feng?

“Hang on, Feng!” he yelled. “I’m coming to help you!”

He flapped his wings faster with extreme effort. Then he made his echoing bat screech to signal where Feng is at.

Poppy, Biggie, Smidge and Guy Diamond were following behind. Poppy was calling out to Branch “Wait for us! Don’t leave us here! Where are you going?”

Branch has no time to reply to her. He knew he had to help his friend. So he continued screeching all the way to the thickest part of the woods faster than a cheetah.

“Feng, where are you?” he muttered as he flew. It didn’t take long until he stopped by a bush before him! He made a face, knowing he was on the wrong path until...

“Eeeeep!”

Branch heard another squeak from behind the bush. As he hovered upwards to see who is making that sound, he gasped in horror.

Much to his shock, Branch saw Feng trapped in the same cage that he was trapped in! Not only that he saw his friend held captive, two Trolls were guarding the cage.

One was the bat farmer that had caught Branch last night and the other one was turquoise-green with purplish-pink hair. He wears a pair of smart scientific glasses and a lab coat and was holding a syringe with some strange-looking liquid. Branch gasped! He recognized this Troll!

“Professor Stade!” he whispered, terrified. But he kept himself hidden in the bushes just as the professor and the farmer went closer to Feng’s cage.

“Do you think we could give this little guy a shot?” asked the bat farmer, glancing at the trapped bat.

“Not to worry about a thing!” Stade cackled, holding up his syringe proudly. “I got this vermin covered in no time!”

Feng frowned at him. “Who ya callin’ ‘vermin’! We bats aren’t vermins!”

Branch couldn’t bear to watch this anymore. The professor was about to kill his friend and he was unable to make it up with him. But how can he get to him?

Soon Poppy, Biggie, Guy and Smidge caught up with Branch. Poppy panted from all the running as she tried to reason with Branch. “What is going on? Why you run to this place? This isn’t safe!”

“Eeeeeep! Eeeeeeep!” Branch squeaked in protest. He was trying to tell Poppy that he wanted to rescue Feng himself before Stade is going to kill him with the syringe.

“What is saying, Poppy?” asked Guy.

Poppy was trying to clarify the situation. She can see that Branch was pointing at the cage, then at Stade and the farmer and then he pointed at himself. Among all of the other Trolls who can’t understand animals, Poppy was the only Troll who can tell that one of them was trying to tell her something made using unique gestures.

“Guys, he’s saying he wants to rescue that poor bat trapped in a cage by Professor Stade?” she asked in shock, knowing that it wasn’t very safe for Branch to go there. “Are you sure you’re going to be okay like this? We need you to be back to normal using the tree so you can request Stade to let it go!”

“Eeeeeeeep!” the little Troll bat insisted, shaking his head. He looked up at Poppy and made a face. Then he squeaked that he wanted to rescue Feng while in bat form because he had met him while he got captured last night and wanted to hide his identity as a Troll to him by claiming he was just a bat.

Poppy didn’t like that sound of that when Branch pointed to Feng, his cage, Stade, the farmer and himself again. She was afraid something bad might happen to her boyfriend if he chose to save Feng while stuck as a bat. Had he understood his own friends? Could he help Feng? The Trolls had no way of knowing he can do this.

“Branch, no!” Poppy begged, tears in her eyes. “You can’t save that bat like this! You have to save him Troll style! Please let’s take you to the tree first!”

But Branch shook his head. “Eeeeeep, eeeeeep! Eeeep!” he squeaked. His squeaks were now meaning that he should not become a Troll first and he needs to do what is right. Then he can blurt out to Feng that he wasn’t a Troll at all after he successfully rescues him.

“Oh, Branch...” sobbed Poppy, clearly understanding what Branch was trying to say to her. “I know you really want to save that captured animal while you’re a bat now but please I really don’t want you to get caught! Stade will not recognize you but he only recognizes you’re a Troll! Please don’t do this!”

She took Branch in her arms for a comfort hug and he scrunched up into a ball with great despair, whimpering. She touched his fur. His heart was pounding furiously. He must have been even more worried than her!

The Trolls watched numbly as Branch rubbed himself against Poppy’s nose, looking like he almost kissed her.

“Please be careful, Branch,” Biggie said as Poppy patted Branch’s hair.

“Eeeeeep!” Branch squeaked with a smile spread across his face. He was now determine that he was ready to save Feng from that evil animal professor that is about to harm him!

Then he was off, wings flapping, diving through the trees and hiding on a branch, keeping himself hidden from Stade.

Meanwhile, Stade was about to point his syringe at Feng but he squeaked “Eeeeeeep, eeeeep! Eeeeeeep, eeeeep! Eeeeeep, eeeep! Eeeeeep! Eeeeep, eeeeep! Eeeeeep!”

In his own voice, he was saying “Are ya gonna poke me with that shiny balloon pin from a kids’ amusement park?! ‘Cause I dunno if balloon pins were that sharp enough to kill bats-”

Stade was unable to understand him. So he ignored his protesting squeals as he advanced his syringe to the cage.

“Don’t be too squeaky with your words, young bat,” he sneered. “This oughta be something which I CAN DEDUCE TO WILDLIFE IN THE DARK!!!! BWAHAHAHA!!!”

He laughed maniacally, but then he coughed. Stade cleared his throat, realizing what went wrong. Of course, Stade looks like an old-aged Troll and he sometimes couldn’t laugh like that properly! “Sorry, just being dramatic...that’s all!” he quickly said. Then he advanced his syringe even closer to Feng as the latter tried to shield himself with his wings. He was terrified!

“Oh, this is it!” he wailed. “Sweet mother! I’m going home! Goodbye, cruel world! Oooh, oooh! Rosebud!” He said the last word as he stared at a rosebud bush in a corner.

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppp!!!!”

Suddenly, his frightened thoughts are interrupted by a loud deafening, distorted blood-curdling screech from just behind Stade! He heard it too. Who is making those frightening sounds? His hair stood on end and he felt terrified.

“Professor, look out!” his bat farmer assistant yelled.

He was pointing at a bat with blue Troll hair in the distance! Branch!

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppp!!!!”

Branch squeaked at the top of his voice as he flew towards the two frightened Trolls!

“MAKE IT STOP!!” Stade screamed, covering his ears from the screeching. “IT’S TOO LOUD!!!”

“Duck, Professor!” his assistant screamed as Branch glided closer to their faces!

The two of them screamed as they ducked, and Branch just flew past them.

“Eeeeeeep, eeeeeep!” he squeaked.

Stade held up his syringe and started to chase him. But Branch whipped his Troll hair at him and he pushed him to the ground, dropping his syringe!

“Eeeeeep!”

“Ack!”

BANG!

“Oooof!”

As Stade tried to get up, Branch bared his fangs and with one massive bite, he grabbed hold of his hair in his mouth!

CHOMP!

“Rrrrrrgh, rrmfff!”

Stade screamed and tried to shake the vermin off! But Branch kept gnawing on it. He held it with his teeth, trying to make him not to move. Stade’s assistant looked on in terror as he continued screaming “My hair! It hurts! Stop pulling my beautiful hair, you little vermin!”

Branch was not buying it. Not one bit! Until he forced Stade onto the ground and flew around in circles. He blew a raspberry at them and said cockingly “Try to catch me, suckers!”

Stade growled. He also wanted to put Branch in a cage too. So he grabbed his syringe and stepped towards him. His assistant grabbed his net and followed.

“This has gone too far, weasel-toes!” Stade said menacingly.

As he and his assistant went even closer, Branch flew away again and the two Trolls gave chase at him. Feng watched as he flew around the forest, panting. He had no clue how his new friend can truly learn how to fly that fast!

It didn’t take a second when Branch quickly caught up to his cage, catching his breath from the chase.

“Oh, Branch!” Feng cried, holding on to the cage bars to reconcile with him. “I knew you’d come to help! You’re being so brave!”

“I know!” Branch replied. “I’m so sorry! But there’s no time to make up! Where can I find something to get you out of here?” He glided there and that, frantically looking for something to open the lock. Then he looked at Feng and asked “Can you try unlocking the cage using your collar?”

Feng used his string-like collar and tried fitting it into the cage lock. But this time, unlike how he managed to save Branch before, the lock wouldn’t budge. He stared at him in dismay.

“Sorry, kid. The lock is too strong compared to your cage since the time we met!” he explained. “Stade had locked me up in this here cage with his own keys very tightly and put them in his computer desk over there!” He pointed to a corner. Branch turned to where he was pointing at. There sat a laboratory drawer-like desk with a tiny computer on the top-left corner. And on the bottom-right corner, dangling, were a set of bronze keys. It had Stade’s name in it, meaning these keys belong to him!

Branch was not sure if he can do it. He wanted to turn into a Troll and help Feng instead. But if he becomes a Troll, his new friend won’t be able to recognize him! He has to make one decision or else his friend will be gone forever!

“Come on, try to get the keys!” Feng warned him. “And be careful!”

Branch took a deep breath and said “Okay, I’ll do my best, Feng! I’ll try to save you! Hang in there, buddy!”

“Awwww.” Feng was touched by his compromise...until he saw Stade above them! He quickly yelled to his friend “Quick! Fly away! He’s after you!”

Branch screamed and flew away from the cage as Stade pointed his syringe ast them!

Stade growled. “Come back here!”

Branch made his way to the professor’s computer desk. He spotted the keys dangling in the bottom-right corner. He understood that he had to get the keys to Feng’s cage so that he could set him free.

He glided to the table and perched himself upside down on it. He felt embarrassed after he found himself upside down. Then, with some strength left inside him, Branch tried grabbing the keys using his mouth. He tried grabbing key after key, muttering “Rrrrrgh! Rrrrmff! Rrr, mmff! Come on! Come on!”

It didn’t take a second when suddenly, Branch held the chain of the keys with his teeth! He got them! “I gnot ‘em!” Branch cried triumphantly, his teeth clamped tight on the chain and showing the keys to Feng, who gave him a thumbs-up.

Now all that Branch has to do now was release him from the cage and he would escape! Suddenly, Stade’s bat farmer assistant came to the desk holding his bat net and saw Branch with Stade’s keys in his mouth!

“Eeeeeeeeeeep!!” Branch screamed.

He flew away from the desk, still holding on to the keys. Fuming, the farmer chased after him. Branch was about to make his way to the cage until Stade blocked it!

Branch gasped! Then he tried wondering what to do, still holding the professor’s keys in his mouth.

“Got you surrounded! Finally!” the professor cried, breathing hard. “Now give me the keys!”

What am I going to do?! thought Branch in a panic. I had to save my friend! But what can I do? What can a bat really do? What did Feng teach me about previously?

He stared at Feng, then at the professor. He was still hovering next to his face, wondering what to do next.

Feng saw that he was not moving and he said worriedly “Branch, don’t just sit there and doing nothin’! Do something!”

But Branch didn’t answer. He started picturing Stade as the narrow branch hole from before in his mind. Feng had taught him how to fly through a narrow hole swiftly and properly. So Branch knew this was the moment to cease and resist how he had been taught on how to act like a bat.

He took a deep breath and, with his mouth still holding on to the keys, he managed to whisper “Okay...be...the...branch...be the branch!” He concentrated on the underside of Stade’s arm holding the syringe very carefully and gently. “I can do this! One narrow gap for me to pass through!”

Then he yelled “OKAY!!! HERE I GO!!!” and bolted towards the underside of Stade’s arm, his wings burning with pain.

Stade watched in disbelief as Branch shut his wings down between his legs and spun himself around the gap! He advanced his needle to him but it almost hit him in the butt but Branch successfully made it pass through!

“WHOOOO-HOOOOO!!!” Branch cried triumphantly. “I DID IT!!! I’D BECOME THE BRANCH!!! YEAAAH!!”

Then he put the keys onto his legs and continued flapping his wings.

“What the hell?!” Stade cried. He looked up and saw that Branch never got poked by his syringe! He saw the Troll bat flying upwards towards the full moon behind him.

After Branch made his way behind the moon, he opened his wings wide and made a gruff expression on his face. His angry eyes narrowing at the professor.

Suddenly, without warning, Branch lunged at him, making a loud harsh hiss!

“SSSSSSSSSHHHHHIIIISSSSSSS!!!”

Stade and his assistant screamed as they ducked and tried avoiding the berserk Branch bat! He continued hissing at them. “SSSSSSSSSHHHHIISSSSSSSS!!!! SSHISSSSSSS!!!”

Feng was awed by the toughness in his new buddy. “Wow!” he squealed in amazement. “That’s my boy! He’s so tough! GO, BRANCH, GO!!!”

As Feng happily cheered his friend on, Stade and his assistant got up from the impact and the professor sneered “My keys! Somebody get my keys!”

The two Trolls started chasing after Branch once again. This time, Branch was never afraid. He swiftly glided and glided across the place, holding the keys in his legs. He managed to held them tightly so he can try to release Feng.

Feng cheered him on. “Yeah! Come on, kid!” he cried. “Keep losing them!” At one point, he held up a big sports finger and waved like a sports fan, mimicking the sounds of cheering people from a sports stadium.

Branch was trying to keep on flying away from the professor. He managed to adjust his bat vision just like what Feng had taught him about. Soon he realized there was a tree branch just right in front of him so he ducked past the branch and kept flying until Stade caught his hair on it!

“OWW!!” he yelped. Then he managed to free himself and continued chasing after Branch.

Feng was even more awed than ever. Branch was gaining experience from what he had been taught while the two bats were exploring the woods. He was very happy and proud that his friend was able to master his skills as a bat. Poppy and her friends are hiding behind the bush as they looked helplessly at Branch trying to fend himself from the professor.

“Come on, Branch...” Poppy muttered.

Now Branch was getting a little dizzy and tired. He looked back at Stade with the syringe and his assistant with the net before him and turned away, continuing to take flight, still clutching on to the keys. His whole body melted with cold sweat as he flapped his wings even harder. He took a big breath and hauled himself away, even harder. But then, as he flew upwards and downwards for a few times, the keys slipped away from his claws!

Branch gasped as he saw the keys dropping down to the ground below. He saw Stade and his assistant coming closer to him! But he needed the keys to help free Feng! So he had no choice.

Breathing heavily, Branch flew down to the keys. But then something grabbed him by his legs!

“GOTCHA!”

Feng and the Trolls gasped!

“OH MY GAH!!!” Smidge said in horror.

“Eeeeeeeep!!! Eeeeeeep!!! Eeeeeep! Eeeeeeep!! Eeeeeeep!! Eeeep! EEEEEEEPPPP!!! Eeeeeeep!!” Branch squeaked in pain, feeling the farmer clutching tightly in his hand once again!

“BRANCH, NOOOOO!!!” Poppy cried out. She couldn’t watch it anymore!

The farmer turned to Stade, holding Branch in his hot hand. His little head dangled from side to side as he wriggled. He squeaked and squeaked.

“Branch!” Feng cried out as well, horrified that the professor has caught his friend once again.

“Finally!” Stade said at last. “That’ll teach ya how to mess with wildlife!”

Biggie held Mr. Dinkles tightly and sobbed, not wanting to see his friend die. “Mr. Dinkles! I can’t watch this anymore! I can’t look!”

Poppy watched in panic as Stade pointed his syringe at Branch, ready to kill him with it.

“Hold still,” he told him. “You’ll be fine!”

Branch whimpered as the syringe aimed right towards his hair! Then he closed his eyes, hoping that his whole life in front of him would be all over.

Feng started to see that his friend was giving up and he said “NO!! He was trying to save my life! It shouldn’t have come like this! Not on my watch! You can’t give up, Branch!” Then he turned to the right and muttered “This isn’t over yet.”

Suddenly, he took one ENORMOUS BREATH and screeched even louder than before!

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!”

Stade stopped pointing his syringe at Branch and stared at Feng. “FOR GOD’S SAKE, WILL THOSE SCREECHING EVER STOP?!” he yelled.

Once Feng finished screeching, a few bat screeches started echoing in the distance.

Eeeeeeeeeeeep!! Eeeeeeeep!! Eeeeeeeeep!! Eeeeeep!!

Everybody looked silently and anxiously, trying to know what is happening, until Feng’s three bat buddies came out of nowhere from through the trees, squeaking.

Eeeeeeeeeeeep!! Eeeeeeeep!! Eeeeeeeeep!! Eeeeeep!! Eeeeeeeep, eeeeep!

“Not again,” Stade grumbled, not wanting to hear more batty mischief from those animals.

“Hey, guys!” Feng called to his friends. “Help us out here!”

Frisky, Whisky and Nipper nodded at him. Then they turned to Stade and his assistant and glared at them.

“Stay away from our friends!” yelled Nipper, baring his teeth.

“Yeah, you can’t hurt a baby!” added Frisky, glancing at Branch in the farmer’s hands. Hearing the sound of “baby” again, Branch scowled.

“Let’s get ‘em, guys!” hollered Whisky, flapping his wings and soaring towards the two Trolls. Frisky and Nipper followed, squeaking along with him.

The three bats start surrounding Stade and the farmer. The assistant lost his grip on Branch and let him go. He landed on the ground, whimpering and scrunching himself into a ball with fright. Frisky jumped in front of the assistant and exclaimed “PEEK-A-BOO!!!” before laughing at him hysterically. The Troll screamed when he saw him!

“Nananananana, poo poo!” taunted Nipper, blowing a raspberry at Stade and opening the corners of his mouth wide. This made the professor scream even more!

Finally, Whisky flies around and around the two frightened Trolls, whooping “WHEEEEEEE!!!”

“OI!!” cried Stade, waving his hands at the three bats and having enough of their obnoxious antics. “Silly bats! Go away! You’re making me dizzy!”

Branch got up from his curled up ball shape and stared at the disaster happening around the professor and the three bats. He knew he must help them and make those poor animals avoid the risk of getting caught. He stood up on his hind legs and made a determined expression on his face. With a deep breath, he flapped his wings and lunged at Stade, opening his mouth wide and hissing. “SSSSSSSSSHHHHIISSSSSSSS!!!! SSHISSSSSSS!!!”

The professor didn’t see Branch because he was busy trying to shoo away the three bats...but he suddenly felt something chomp in his leg!

CHOMP!!!

“OOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!” Stade screamed at the top of his lungs. “WHAT’S THAT?! GET OFF MY LEG?! THAT HURTS!! THAT REALLY HURTS!! OH MY GOD!!!”

Down below the professor’s leg, Branch has lunged at it and took a very sharp bite on it! Blood was oozing in his leg as he collapsed onto the ground! He let go of his syringe, sending it flying to the air and then landing onto the bat farmer’s chest! Screaming in pain, the Troll collapsed as well, unconscious.

“OOOOOOHHH, THAT REALLY HURTS SO MUCH!!!” Stade bawled uncontrollably, clutching on to his bleeding leg. ‘SOMEBODY GET AN AMBULANCE AND SAVE ME!!!”

Feng and the bats started laughing. It was too funny to watch honestly!

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

“Hahahaha!” Feng laughed and laughed as he put his claws to his belly. “OHH, THIS NEVER GETS OLD!!! I can’t bear to watch!”

On the other side, Poppy and the Trolls laugh as well.

“Oh my god,” Poppy chuckled. “What am I even witnessing?!”

While the professor was wincing in pain, Branch sneaked beside him and grabbed something from his lab coat; the keys!

Now all he needs to do is get Feng out of the cage!

To Be Continued...

Stay tuned for the last part of the story: Part 10!
