Chapter Text
BanBan's footsteps echoed through the empty and damaged hall. He held a flashlight in his gloved hand, pointing it around to make sure nothing comes out of nowhere. Besides him walked- well, limped, Banbaleena. In her arms were two of Ophelia's babies, Baby o and Little Beak. They were accidentally left behind by Ophelia bird and Tarta bird when the kindergarten collapsed. The two had found them under some debris and luckily, they were too small to actually get hurt, they just got dirty.
Banbaleena looks down at the chicks in her arms, seeing them both fast asleep. She smiled softly as she looked at them both, moving one hand and softly petting them both on the head. Little Beak awoke, yawning before he quickly shook his head. He looked up at Banbaleena, chirping quietly. ``Sorry buddy.`` She said quietly, continuing to walk besides BanBan, who glances at the chicks in her arms. ``Do we really need them? They don't exactly benefit out survival. If anything, they slow us down.`` He spoke up, gesturing to the chicks. Banbaleena looks at him. ``They may not benefit us, but we can't just leave the poor babies to die!`` She responded. BanBan let out a sigh, knowing she had too big of a heart and he knew that.
The two walked onto the metal platform, BanBan trying to figure out how to get it to work and move. Banbaleena looked around at the buildings around them then her eyes slowly fell down to the void beneath them. She got a tiny bit nervous and scooted back from the edge where she was sitting and crossed her legs. She set the chicks down now that they were both awake. Baby O chirped and ran over to BanBan, nuzzling his leg. ``Not right now, Baby O. .`` He said, pushing his leg at her gently as he struggled to fix the buttons. Baby o hopped up on the controls, looking down at them. Her eyes gave off a small glow, which kinda helped BanBan see what he was doing. Little Beak stayed near Banbaleena, as if guarding her of sorts. She pet his head like a cat and he kinda enjoyed it. Little Beak suddenly looked up turning to the other side of the platform. Banbaleena looked a tad bit confused, turning her head to look as well. She saw a figure on the other side, her eyes suddenly widening. ``BanBan, someones there!`` She exclaimed, causing a sudden turn from both BanBan and Baby O. BanBan's eyes widened, his body going still all of a sudden. He didn't know what it was or who it was, but the way the figure looked seemed oddly familiar. Almost like- ``Sheriff. .?`` He questioned quietly. Suddenly, the platform began to move suddenly, causing him to fall onto his side. Baby O fell off the controls and almost off the platform but BanBan grabbed her with his tail, pulling her closer to make sure she didn't fall. Banbaleena held Little beak to her chest to make sure he didn't fall. The control panels now faced the hallway on the other side of the void. BanBan stood up first, looking at whoever the figure was. It moved closer to him and- he was correct. It was Sheriff, Sheriff Toadster. He looked different though. The left side of his face was burned and his eye was blind. Did this happen when the kindergarten collapsed?
``Sheriff? What- What are you-`` BanBan was too flabbergasted to speak. Banbaleena came over, taking Baby O from his arms and holding her in his. Sheriff walked over, looking between them both. ``I'm surprised you're both alive. I ain't think anyone else.`` Sheriff said, raising a brow for a moment. ``We didn't think anyone was either.`` Banbaleena responded, shrugging her shoulders. BanBan came to a stand, dusting himself off. ``Are you with anyone?`` BanBan asks, looking up at Sheriff Toadster. He nods, turning his body back to the hallway and walking off. ``Follow me. I've got a safe place for survivors.`` Sheriff spoke as BanBan and Banbaleena followed behind him, deciding it would be the best bet to do so because just walking out in the open where anything could get you isn't exactly the best survival idea.
The Chicks chirped as Banbaleena carried them, Baby O squirming in her arms and standing up. Banbaleena smiled as she looked at Baby O, setting her on the ground to walk by herself. Baby O walked besides BanBan, chirping as she looked up at him. BanBan looks down at the chick, raising a brow. He was confused as to why Baby O kept coming near him instead of staying near Banbaleena. ``What do you want, Baby O? Go back with Banbaleena. .`` He muttered, leaning down and swatting the chick away with his hand. Baby O chirped angrily, biting BanBan's finger. BanBan pulled away, rolling his eyes as he kept walking.
The 5 (counting the chicks) made it to this fort on one of the lower floors. Sheriff knocked on the large door, waiting for a moment before a voice was heard. ``Who goes there?!`` They called. Sheriff sighed. ``It's me, Bittergiggle.`` Sheriff responded. ``Oh. Coming!`` Bittergiggle opened the door and hugged Sheriff, who simply just sighed. BanBan and Banbaleena watched for a moment before Bittergiggle spoke up. ``Survivors! Hello again, BanBan! Hello, uh- other woman!`` Bittergiggle waved to them both. He- didn't have his purple snake arm. It literally wasn't there, like it had been chopped off. BanBan didn't wanna be rude but he just had to ask. ``Bittergiggle, what- what happened to your arm?`` He asked. Sheriff and Bittergiggle looked at him, silence falling. ``When the building collapsed, my arm got trapped under a piece of the roof and uhm- Sheriff Pulled me from under it but my arm got ripped off in the process.`` Bittergiggle responded in a sort of- sort of an offended and embarrassed tone. He didn't know how to explain it. ``Oh. Uhm- I'm sorry for asking.`` BanBan said, now feeling a bit bad that he had asked.
The 6 went into the fort and Bittergiggle closed the door and had Sheriff lock it (He never knew how to lock it since Sheriff had put it on). BanBan and Banbaleena got a look around and it was quite spacious. Maybe to chicks could run around a bit. ``Do you guys have anyone else here?`` BanBan asks. ``Only one. SELINE!`` Sheriff called out, his voice echoing through the fort. ``Coming!`` Someone yelled back. A yellow snail moved over slowly but surely. ``Yea Sheri- Banbaleena!`` Seline exclaimed. ``Seline, oh my gosh!`` Banbaleena ran over, hugging the yellow snail. She and Seline were best friends. Seline leaned her head down, hugging back. The two pulled away. `How are you alive? I was sure you didn't survive.`` Banbaleena smiled, glad to see her old friend. ``I hid in my shell. It cracked pretty badly, but it made sure I was okay. .`` Seline responded, smiling softly. A few hours had passed. Banbaleena was sitting against the fort wall, watching as BanBan chased the chicks since they decided they wanted to play with him. ``Get back here you little!-`` Suddenly, BanBan bumped into Bittergiggle, knocking each other to the ground. They hit the floor with a loud thud. ``What the hell Bittergiggle?!`` BanBan exclaimed. Bittergiggle slowly stood, dusting himself off. ``Watch where you're going, BanBan.`` Bittergiggle countered. BanBan too stood up, glaring at him, Bittergiggle glaring back. ``I was.`` BanBan rolled his eyes at him. Baby O and Little Beak turned to them both, wondering why BanBan stopped chasing them. ``Didn't seem like it.`` Bittergiggle responded before walking past him, their eyes still locked with a glare. Baby O went over and chirped up at BanBan, jumping and flapping her wings. BanBan sighed and picked the small chick up, looking at Little Beak. ``C'mon, let's head back over to Banbaleena. .`` BanBan said in a quiet tone before turning his body and going back over to Banbaleena. Little Beak followed him, of course.
Banbaleena leaned her head against a wall, holding one of the chicks in her lap as they were falling asleep. Banbaleena was half-asleep, her eyes drooping shut. BanBan was sitting besides her, his arms crossed and eyes closed. Banbaleena's eyes also closed, falling asleep. The four slept against the fort wall, Sheriff and Bittergiggle looked at them. ``Should we wake them?`` Bittergiggle asks. Sheriff shook his head. ``Let's just let them be.`` He responded, turning around and walking off. Bittergiggle looked at Sheriff before looking back at the four. He stared for a moment before walking off after Sheriff.
Watching from above, the figure stared down at the two devils. His gaze flickered between them, the toad, the jester, and the snail. He smiled sharply. ``Perfect. . .``
Chapter 2: A Memory
Chapter Text
BanBan helped Sheriff Toadster patrol around the fort, making sure there were no Naughty One's around. Banbaleena and Bittergiggle were moving some crates around the fort, which was their duty for the day. Seline was watching the chicks, since they were too small to do any helping.
Even with her limp leg, Banbaleena was quick to help. Despite not having an arm, Bittergiggle was able to lift and push crates to where they needed to go. Baby O chirped, going over to Bittergiggle. Seline chuckled softly, knowing she wouldn't get herself hurt. Bittergiggle looked down at Baby O. He wished he could pet her, but his only hand was full. Baby O followed him and Banbaleena, chirping rapidly as if asking for attention. ``I'm sorry Baby O, but we can't play right now. Go ask Seline or Little beak.`` Banbaleena muttered, pushing the crate. Baby O chirped, following still. Banbaleena sighed and stopped pushing, turning to look down at the baby chick. ``Really? Go play with your brother!`` Banbaleena said in a demanding tone, lightly shooing the bird away.
BanBan and Sheriff Toadster had gotten back to the base, silently walking besides each other as they stepped in. Many things wanted to be said by BanBan, and little by Sheriff. BanBan looked around, his eyes landing on Banbaleena and the chick. Baby O's head seemed to turn as she heard the doors. She immediately ran to BanBan entered, chirping happily as he little feet tapped against the floor. BanBan sighed as he knelt down and picked up the small chick. He smiled a bit, patting her head. Baby O chirped, nuzzling her head against BanBan's hand. He smiled softly at the small chick. He lifted his head, his gaze falling on Banbaleena, who was pushing herself as usual to move the crates. He set Baby O down and walked over. ``Need any help?`` He asks, crossing his arms. She looks at her red counterpart, shaking her head. ``Nope, I'm good.`` She responded while continuing to push the crate. Knowing her leg was still bad he sighed. He gently pushed her out the way and moved the crate, moving much faster than she did. ``I told you I could handle it.`` She said, crossing her arms and following after. ``Your skate broke and I'm not letting you hurt yourself any worse than you already are. Just let me do it, okay?`` BanBan responded, setting the crate in its place. Bittergiggle was already heading back to get another. BanBan sighed, following. Banbaleena didn't bother putting up a fight, going to sit with Seline.
Seline noticed Banbaleena's angry expression as she sat down, The chicks were asleep so Seline had time to chat. ``What's wrong, 'Leena? You never look this mad unless a kid answered your question wrong.`` Said the snail, looking at the sitting white devil. ``It's BanBan and frankly, Sheriff and Bittergiggle too. BanBan just pushed me aside to take my spot all because he 'doesn't want me hurting myself any worse than I already am', as if I'm not capable of making another makeshift skate for my leg, or as if I haven't been through worse!`` Banbaleena made air quotes when restating what BanBan said, rolling her eyes slightly. ``And not too long before, Bittergiggle was suggesting that I just sit out for the mean time and not work. He said I shouldn't strain myself.`` She said with another eye roll of anger. Seline kinda agreed with her, but they guys kinda had a point. ``They kinda have a point, 'Leena. Working too hard could injure your leg some more.`` Seline chimed, glancing away for a moment before turning back to her. Banbaleena scoffed. ``I get that, but I can still handle myself! I'm not some fragile puppet!`` Banbaleena crossed her arms, turning her head with a swishing tail behind her. ``Just sit it out for a while. When they realize they were wrong about not needing you, they'll admit it.`` Seline responded. She yawned, her eye lids falling heavy. ``I'm gonna take a nap with the chicks. You do you, girl.`` Seline said, hiding in her shell to rest. Banbaleena sighed, now being alone with her thoughts.
BanBan and Bittergiggle finished pushing the crates. Despite being a bit behind, due to Banbaleena being slower than Bittergiggle, BanBan managed to finish around the same as Bittergiggle. The two sat against the crates. The two seemed to wanna say something to one another, but were too- nervous(?) to say something. BanBan spoke first. ``So uh. .`` BanBan began. Bittergiggle glances at him, arching a brow. ``What do you do when you're done. .?`` BanBan asks. The jester took a moment to think.n He honestly didn't know what to do. He never finished his daily duties before, since he usually worked by himself. The two faced creature's mind went blank, his eyes looking at the ground. ``Do more work? I-I don't know, I never really finished because it was just me working! I can ask Sheriff, but I highly doubt he'd let us off of work for the day.``
``Sure, go ahead. If you guys finished then yea.`` Sheriff said as he leaned against the fort wall. BanBan and Bittergiggle stared with wide eyes, not really expecting that answer. Especially Bittergiggle. ``You're serious? That's just- it?`` BanBan asks, cocking his head to the side. The toad nods. ``We wen't on patrol, You two did the duty for the day. We'll all go on patrol tomorrow since we don't have much to do. I cleaned up and did a patrol around the base. I'm done, you two are done. We're all done. Simple.`` Sheriff shrugged his shoulders before pushing against the wall and walking off. BanBan and Bittergiggle glance at each other, not really expecting that. They shrugged and walked off to do their own thing.
Banbaleena had fallen asleep besides Seline, leaning against the fort wall. BanBan came up besides her, sitting down against the wall. He looks at her, almost observing her. His gaze goes down to her injured leg, his face falling. He sighed, reaching into Banbaleena's sash. He slowly slipped it off and looked inside, seeing some bandages. He didn't wanna be weird, but he wanted to help her. He lightly shook her shoulder, awaking her. She rubbed her eyes, looking at her red counterpart. ``What. .?`` She wondered in a sleepy tone. BanBan points at her leg. ``You never patched up your leg, huh?`` He said. She looks down and sighs, shaking her head. She shifted herself, pointing her leg at BanBan. He nods, ripping a long piece of the roller bandage. ``Can I?`` He asks. She nods, leaning against the fort wall. He nodded back before wrapping it around her leg. She winced a bit as her body tensed. BanBan apologized but continued. The white Devil closed her eyes, going back to sleep. BanBan finished wrapping the bandages around Banbaleena's leg and put them back in the sash. He soon leaned against the wall too, closing his eyes and falling asleep. However, they didn't last long because soon, Baby O jumped on his leg and start chirping. He looked at the small chick, rubbing his eyes a bit. He picked the chick up and lightly pat its head, the small little thing chirping happily. He smiled at her before simply leaning his head back. Baby O fell asleep in his lap, curling up like a cat and nuzzling her head into her fuzzy neck.
After a few hours, Banbaleena awoke first. She looked around and saw everyone sitting against the fort wall. Little Beak was below Slow Seline's shell. BanBan had his arms crossed across his chest, his head leaned back. Baby O was in his lap, curled up on her side. Bittergiggle was leaning against Sheriff's back, his knees against his chest. Sheriff had his arms crossed as well. Banbaleena slowly came to a stand, limping off. She walked to the fort door, pushing her way through. She stepped outside and leaned against the wall again. Looking into the darkness, she stood under the light on the fort. She heard faint giggles and rustling, which was probably The Naughty Ones. She knew they wouldn't try to reach her, since they hated the light. She just didn't want to be in the fort.
She felt a thump against the fort. She turned to the door and saw one of the chicks trying to push their way out. She crawled over and opened the fort door. She saw Little Beak dashing forward. The small blue chick, not knowing the door was opened, ran forward and tripped which caused him to tumble into the darkness. Banbaleena gasped, closing the door and crawling over to Little Beak. ``Little Beak! Are you-`` She heard growls and looked up, seeing glowing white circles. Thousands of them. . .
Bittergiggle blinked his eyes open. He stretched, looking between everyone. He noticed Banbaleena and Little Beak were missing. He heard the faint sound of the growls and his eyes widened with terror. He got up and bolted to the fort door. He pushed it open and saw Banbaleena and Little Beak trapped around a few Naughty Ones. He reached his hand into the fort and grabbed a Flashlight. He ran out, the fort door closing. They were quite a distance from the base. He just wondered how. . .
Banbaleena held Little Beak in her arms. The small chick chirped angrily at the Naughty Ones. She kicked every Naughty one that came closed with her working leg. Just then, The Naughty Ones began hissing and backing into the darkness. Bittergiggle flashed the flashlight at the Naughty Ones, Crouching besides Banbaleena as he made his way to her. She looked at him. ``Thanks. .`` She said in a quiet tone. Bittergiggle nodded. He turned off the Flashlight once the Naughty Ones were all gone. He held it up with his hand over the flash button and turned it on again after a while. Multiple hisses were heard as many Naughty Ones, possibly hundreds, moved away. Banbaleena was horrified. She had no idea there was that many.
Bittergiggle helped Banbaleena inside the fort, an arm around her to move faster. ``I'm so sorry Bittergiggle, I didn't mean for this to happen.`` Banbaleena apologized genuinely, looking at him while holding Little Beak in her left arm. Her right arm was draped over Bittergiggle's shoulder. ``It's alright, Banbaleena. Let's just get you and Little Beak back inside.`` Bittergiggle smiled at her. She smiled weakly back, still feeling bad he had to save her. Once inside the fort, He sat her against the fort wall. She sighed, setting Little Beak down. Her tail wrapped around her own waist and she looked down at her limp leg, a feeling of anger flooding into her heart. Why? She was so angry that she couldn't protect herself and always needed assistance. She wished her leg did work but- it never could work again. Not after how it went limp in the first place.
Banbaleena was cleaning up the class after a day of teaching. She was pushing the chairs and tables back into their original position since the children had moved them throughout the day, somehow. . She felt a small rumble beneath her feet and looked up, turning her head to glance around the room. It was faint, but there, it was. She walked to the door to her classroom before she fell to the floor. The kindergarten began to shake, rumble and cracks began forming on the ceiling. Her eyes widened and she pushed herself up and dashed out the class and down the hall. The closest creature to her was Ophelia and Tarta bird, plus their chicks. In the daycare for the younger kids, like babies and toddlers.
She ran into the daycare, spotting Ophelia and Tarta huddled with their kids in the nest. She yelled to them, ``Guys, you need to get outta here! It's not saAAH!-`` Banbaleena fell once more as the kindergarten continued to shake and rattle. The floor began cracking. Ophelia and Tarta didn't waste time. The picked up their kids and dashed. However, they both dropped one. Banbaleena got up, stumbling. She grabbed the chicks and looked up to try and find Ophelia and Tarta, but they were already gone. Her eyes widened as she felt the ground beneath her shift, and not from the rumbling. Pieces of the wall began breaking and falling, the chicks squirming in her arms. ``Stop, kids- stop!`` She tried to get them to stop, but before she could say or do more, her gaze shifted to the floor. There was a crack beneath her.
Fear strikes into her heart and at that exact moment, in an instinct, her tail wrapped around her arms which tightened on the chicks. The ground beneath her broke and she fell through. Her screech of fear and surprise echoed through the breaking daycare. She hit wall after wall, trying to guard her head and the chicks. Her head banged against a sharp piece of the breaking wall and she felt herself grow dizzy. She hit the wall twice more before her vision blacked out.
She awoke possibly a few hours or possibly a few minutes after the destruction of the daycare. Her vision was hazy and blurry as she slowly came to a sit. She looked around. She couldn't see much. She heard a soft chirp and looked down in her lap, seeing the chicks wrapped around her tail. her eyes widened and she picked them up in her arms. ``You two aren't hurt, right? Please tell me you aren't. .`` She asked the small pink and blue chicks. The pink one chirped, nuzzling against Banbaleena's chest. She sighed, seeing as they more than likely weren't hurt. She looked around the dark ruins of the Kindergarten, her mind still a bit hazy. She tried to stand but felt an intense pain in her head, back and leg. In fact, she couldn't even move her leg. She was surprised by this. Maybe the hits on the way down did a bit of a number on her. . .'
She wanted to scream, cry, punch someone, break something. She was scared, mad, upset, confused. She was feeling so many emotions at once she felt her head begin to ache. Tears swelled in the white devil's eyes and she looked down at the chicks. Tears dropped onto her skirt and on the chicks. ``I'm so sorry, little ones. . .`` She whispered to them with a broken voice. She leaned against a nearby wall, or what was left of it and put one arm over her eyes. Her head leaned back against the wall and she began to sob. Her sob turned to cries, loud ones. Pained ones. Angry ones. Confused ones. She didn't know what to do. She had no one besides these chicks, and they were just babies. They probably didn't even know what was going on, they were probably just as scared as her.
The red devil peeked from behind the wall at the sound of the cries. His gaze landed on his white counterpart. His tail lashed with concern and he began to walk over. At least he finally found someone. . .
Banbaleena stared at the floor, tears building up in her eyes. She wiped them away with a sniffle as she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding in. She looked up at the others. BanBan and Bittergiggle were arguing about something. Sheriff Toadster was going to patrol again one last time before closing the door for the day. Seline was watching the chicks again, the two circling around her and chirping happily as the two chased each other. Banbaleena sighed and stood up, limping over to Seline. The snail looked up at the white devil, smiling. ``Hey Leena. You alright?`` She asks. Banbaleena nods, leaning against the snails shell. ``Just tired.`` She yawned, covering her mouth. Baby O chirped, jumping up and down in front of Banbaleena. Little Beak, nudged his sisters stomach, running off again. Baby O chirped and ran after him. Banbaleena smiled with half-lidded eyes. She sat against Seline, closing her eyes. Seline went inside her shell when the chicks came back and curled themselves up in Banbaleena's lap. The four of them went to sleep peacefully, despite BanBan and Bittergiggle's loud debating. Speaking of, what are they arguing about?
BanBan and Bittergiggle yelled at each other for god knows why. ``You can't- LISTEN. TO ME. You can't cook the damn chicks, Bittergiggle! I've- I've tried getting rid of them, okay? I've tried, and I got my a** kicked for it.`` BanBan exclaimed, trying to explain to Bittergiggle that killing the chicks wasn't a good idea. Bittergiggle, however, had no care whatsoever. ``The blue one stabbed my ankle! Why is it's beak so sharp?!`` Bittergiggle yelled, throwing his hands up in an over dramatic way. BanBan pinched in between his eyes, sighing with annoyance. ``That doesn't give you a reason to chase him with a piece of broken wood! You could've hurt him!`` BanBan tried to convince him to not do that, but this damn two-faced Jester wasn't listening. ``I. Do not. care.`` Bittergiggle said between breaths. BanBan was trying real hard not to just lash out and hit him since he was irritating him so badly. ``What're you two yellin' about now?`` Sheriff Toadster asked as he walked over, fixing his little cowboy hat. The two turn to him, rolling their eyes in unison. ``This IDIOT want's to kill the chicks. I'm trying to convince him not to- but it's not working.`` BanBan explained. Bittergiggle glared at him as Sheriff Toadster sighed. ``Just- stop.`` Sheriff muttered. He was far too tired to deal with this. ``Just get some shut eye, we're all heading on patrol tomorrow. .`` Sheriff walked over to where Seline and Banbaleena were at. BanBan and Bittergiggle glared at each other before following after him.
``So, the red one and the two-faced freak don't like each other very much. This should be useful. .`` It muttered before walking into the darkness, it's children following after.
Chapter 3: Group Patrol
Summary:
They do a full group patrol.
Chapter Text
The crew were getting ready for their patrol. It would consist of gathering supplies and possibly finding more survivors. If any at all. Everyone was either dead, being eaten by the naughty ones, or had escaped and was living somewhere in the real world. Or had escaped but got killed by a human outside the kindergarten. Either way, it didn't involve them. For the most part.
``You lot ready? This gon' take a while.`` Sheriff flicked his hat a bit so it wasn't covering his vision. ``We are.`` BanBan said as he picked up Baby O and sat the pink chick down on his shoulder. Banbaleena nods as she threw her sash over her shoulder, Little Beak in between her legs and leaning against her ankle. ``Us too!`` Chimed Bittergiggle as he stood besides Seline. The yellow snailed nodded as well. Sheriff nods as he heads to the entrance of the fort. ``I suggest we keep the chicks here too, since Seline should be the one staying. Or- is it Banbaleena?`` Sheriff put a hand on the door and turned to them all before he opened it. He wanted to make sure how they'd set this up. ``I'm staying, yeah. . I'll watch the chicks if its okay, I don't mind!`` Seline spoke up as she moved over. The chicks both started to chirp and run around Seline, chasing each other playfully. ``I guess that's our answer.`` BanBan said as he shrugged his shoulders. Sheriff pushed open the door and motioned his head for them to take their exit. ``Let's get a move on, partners. .`` Said the toad. The crew exited the fort, getting ready to go on their patrol. Banbaleena glanced back at Seline one more time, clearly worried for the safety of the chicks, but she had some trust in Seline. Some.
``Careful Banbaleena, you're leg is still messed up.`` Bittergiggle had his arm under Banbaleena's right arm, helping her walk. Her tail lashed as she limped along with him. ``I know Bittergiggle, I know. .`` She sighed as she looked down at the ground. She wished she didn't need all this help all the time. She's perfectly capable of taking care of herself! For the most part. .
About 30 minutes later, Banbaleena was limping on her own. She convinced the others she could walk by herself, though they were still watching just in case she needed help or tripped. Especially BanBan. He was more worried than anyone, yet he still needed to pay attention to the patrol. Maybe they could find useful material's that can help them.
``I don't think Banbaleena should be walking on her own right now. She's still injured. .`` Bittergiggle told him, glancing at the red devil, who glanced back. He nodded in agreement.
``Me too, but she's pretty stubborn. She probably wont let us help her.`` BanBan said back as he crossed his arms. Suddenly, the crew heard a chirp. They all turned and saw Baby O.
``Baby o!`` Banbaleena limped over quickly, picking the little chick up and falling to her knees. ``What are you doing here? Seline is supposed to be watching you!``
``Chip! Chip Chip!`` The little chick chirped back at her. Banbaleena tilts her head, obviously not understand anything the little bird just told her. The four looked back from where Baby O came from and saw the yellow snail making her slow way over.
``Baby O, come back!`` Seline shouts, clearly tired. Seems she came a long, slow way. Banbaleena shakily came to her feet and limped over.
``Seline, what happened? Why's Baby O out the fort walls?``
``She. . somehow got out. I'm not sure how, I looked away for one second and she's gone! No idea how!``
``She. . has a tendency to do so. .``
Sheriff Toadster walked over. ``Since no one's at the fort, why don't we uh. . all just patrol? There's no reason to go back, you're already here.`` Seline sighs, feeling like she added a bit more of a burden on the crew as is. ``No, it's fine, I'll just go back.``
``Seline, it probably isn't such a good idea to go back to the fort on your own considering the Naughty One's can be out by now and, well. . we all know how that is.`` Bittergiggle chimed, putting his hands behind his back and rocking back and forth on his heels. Seline tilts her head.
``You sure, I don't wanna be a burden and slow you guys down.````Of course not, Seline! We don't mind, right guys?`` Banbaleena turns to the other two, smiling at them. Sheriff and BanBan share a glance before looking back at them.
(This is all yall getting cuz I haven't posted in months I swear I'll finish it)
