Episode 13: Mixels Of Great Change
It starts with the screen panning down to Kraw's restaurant. Inside were many different Mixels, eating all kinds of foods. In the front were Tentro and Balk. Tentro served multiple customers with ease, thanks to his multiple tentacles. Balk runs around with plates on top of his head and slides them on the table. This table having Seismo being served glitter rocks "Mmm. Thank you!" "Enjoy your meal!" Just as Bulk was about to run off... "The horror! THE HORROR!" He hears Kraw's screams from inside the kitchen. "Oh dear. What could it be this time...?" Tentro hops right next to Bulk. "Hurry! We must get there in tiiiyaiyaiyaaaime!" Tentro wraps one tentacle around Balk and hops into the kitchen. Seismo awkwardly sits there, tapping his claw on the table. "Wow. Place has weird service... Me like!" Once they reach the kitchen. Tentro puts Bulk down and speaks up. "Boss! We have come in tiiiy-" "Stop! And no you have NOT!" Kraw walks up to the duo, looking very angry. "This has been the most awful, terrible thing that's happened to my restaurant! LOOK!" He points to all of the empty cabinets. "How can we be a restaurant with no food!? We're doomed. DOOMED!" Bulk steps forward, taking a close look at the cabinets. "We had enough food to feed everyone for months! How did so much, go away so quickly?" Kraw looks away, and sweats a little. "O-oh well... I have my theories... Like the infestation of Nixels crawling around my restaurant! They must've ate a lot when we weren't looking. It doesn't help that we have even MORE Mixels to feed these days..." Bulk looks at Kraw and squints his eyes a bit. Tentro holds both Mixels close in a hug, and starts to tear up. "Oh that does sound bad! Whatever can we DoooOOOoOOooo!?" Kraw pulls himself out of the hug, and brushes himself off a bit. "We just need to go around, and ask these fine Mixels to help us restock our food. And maybe once they realize how our food is gone we can-" "Hey, Kraw?" Kraw looks behind him and sees Gobba looking at him. "You got anything to drink?" "Gobba I told you to not show up yet!" "Oh, right, haha." Gobba walks off screen. "siiigh As I was saying. We can make good changes if we show how important our food supply is!" Tentro raises his tentacles in a cheer. "That's a wonderful idea, boss! You always know how to fix it, heh!" Bulk looks down to the ground, with a bit of a worried look. "I guess we can..." "What!?" Kraw gives Bulk an angry look. "You think something's wrong with trying to fix things?" "N-no! No! Don't worry about it. Let's see which Mixels will help with our shortage problem." The three of them starts leaving the kitchen, with Gobba reappearing next to Kraw. "Can I come with? Can I? Can I? Can I? Ca-" "YES! OKAY! Blehh... I don't know how I tolerate you..." "Yaaaay!" Kraw stands on the table and clears his throat "Every mixel young and old listen up! we have major problem! We have shortage on foood! With more and more mixels coming over here it makes it far worse for all of us, no way to possibly keep up with the damand." Tentro looks over confused "I thought it was just on-" Before Tentro could finsh Kraw looks over at Gobba whom makes a swift kick into Tentro nuts. "As I was saying If we run out what will happen to all of us? We could all starve! To make matters worse this restuarant has been around for ages but only recently started to run low on food?? Isn't strange ever since Flain had a child with.. .. .. Frosticon things have been slowing falling apart on all of us? Not to mention The spikes of nixels being around we have to have partols during parties instead of just having fun. Things were so much better back then all of you open yours eyes!" The Mixels in the restaurant looks at Kraw with a wide range of emotions. Flurr looked the most concerned, and flies up from his set. "N-now hold on. Saying stuff like that would make my tribe look bad!" Kraw looks towards Flurr and scoffs. "Oh please. We all know you barely take anything seriously. For all we know you just make yourself look bad!" "W-what!? You've gotta be joking... I can take things seriously, right Slumbo?" Slumbo has his feet up on the table, claws behind his head, and deep asleep. This made a few Mixels look pretty unamused. "See? Your tribe doesn't even need to try to make themselves look bad! We're coming towards dangerous times, folks! We must fight back for what is rightfully ours!" The Mixels mutter among themselves. Then Teslo raises his claw. "Well. In my opinion. I don't see how it's zaap zaaap wrong to help and allow more Mixels into our lives... But, if you're telling the truth about the food shortage. Then all we need to do is work even harder to have enough zaaaap for everyone." Kradar slams his big hand on the table. "More work? We already do work. And even then me never see Fraze! What point of work if we not see each other?" Shuff slams his claws on the table next. "Yeah! That like if me do thing for Volectro. But me never see Volectro. Biiiig sad!" Seismo twiddles with his claws. He gets even more nervous when his other tribe members look at him. "M-me, uh... Me wish me and Flain hang out more..." Kraw stands on top of the Cragsters table. "And you will! ONLY after things change! So! My fellow Mixels! Which one of you will support me in not only restocking our food, but also in support of wanting things back to the way they're supposed to be?" At first no one did anything... But then, Seismo raises his claw. "We do what we gotta do..." Soon the rest of the Cragsters raise their claw. This makes Kraw chuckle to himself. "Excellent! Any other takers?" Silence once again. Volectro saw how Shuff's claw was raised. But, he just looked away. Zaptor wildly raises his claw. "Ooo Ooo! Pick me!" Teslo looks at him, unamused. "Zaptor, do you have any idea what's going on?" "All I hear is there are no sandwiches here. Zaaaap zap Let me get them!" Kraw starts to sweat, but still tries to keep a smile. "Aaaanyone else other than him?" A Mixel starts panting next to Kraw. He looks over and sees Jawq drooling and waging his tail. "Rrrrh! Bad, bad!" Chomply walks up behind Jawq. "Yeah! Bad, bad!" Kraw looks over to Gobba, unsure how to feel. "Gobba, are they joining oooor?" "Yeeep. When our leader says bad, we gotta follow along. That's just how it goes!" "I'll... never understand your tribe... But that works for me! Come, my followers! We have food to get, and plans to make! We will reclaim our village from all of the weird stuff going on. By any means necessary!" The followers cheer, then start leaving the restaurant. The only Mixels there now is Teslo, Volectro, Zaptor, Flurr, and Slumbo. However, Zaptor hops up from his seat once he saw everyone leave. "Ah! zaaaap Wait for me! And leave some Hamlogna Sandwiches for meeeee! zaap zaap" Teslo just shrugs. "Well... I'm sure he'll come back... Zaaaaap Eventually..." Flurr looked over at the other mixels that were in the same room growing more concerned then before. "I'm not sure why there's a shortage in food but it's not from my tribe, and most certainly not from Flain. Flain had every reason to keep his distance away from us... To keep his distance from me, but he chose to open himself up and hes doing better we been slowly recovering" Telso looks over to Flurr with a concerned look aswell "Fraze is just a child hes not responsible for this, the powers he has is strange but its not Zapppppp Zapp its not that far from what we have" "Ya.. But even still.. Remeber when our tribed move over here and even with other tribes you all came in open arms, But now its cause of all problems?" "Times just been abit different recently so they're just scared but don't worry I'll talk with my tribe later its just abit of misunderstanding." Volectro sit there in silence. Teslo takes notice of this. "Trust me, Volectro. Everything will be-" "I don't care..." Everyone looked a bit shocked. Flurr flies down next to Volectro. "Come on, man. Saying stuff like that will-" I. Don't. Care... Zaaap Zap I just wanna be close to Shuff's rocky body, as he holds me tight... But now with this happening I don't know if that'll happen anymore... I know when something's on his mind, it's pretty hard for him to steer away from that... But, sense I don't zaaaap care about this situation. Maybe I should join up with Kraw. Then I can be next to Shuff and- Hurrk!? Z-zaaap!" Teslo lightly kicks on Volectro's dick. "Now you listen here, Volectro. You know I always have my tribe's best interest in mind. And I've been around long enough to know how zaaaap things may go. I promise you that we'll all get past this moment... But I do admit it won't be easy... Just trust me, okay?" Volectro quietly nods his head. After that Slumbo stretches, and yawns really loud. "Aaah... Has our food came yet? Where is everyone?... Why are you all looking at me like that?" Flurr flies up to Slumbo and tries to look relaxed. "Ooooh, nothing. Just having a moment that may, or may not split multiple tribes apart. No biggie~" "Oh, alright." Slumbo shuts his eyes, going back to sleep. "...IT IS A BIG DEAL YOU DUMMY!" Flurr frantically flaps his wings around. Slumbo, with his eyes still closed, pats Flurr's head. This calms Flurr down, even making him purr a little. It got weird looks out of Teslo, and Volectro. But they weren't bothered by it. "Relax, will ya? We'll just ask Slippery for advice." "S-Slippery? But he's so duuull and boring, and-" Slumbo casually grabs Flurr's dick and pulls it a little. This made Flurr sweat a lot. "Aaaaand, we're totally okay with talking with him, yessss!" "Cool." Slumbo lets go of Flurr's dick as they both march out of the restaurant. The Electroids soon follow, with Volectro looking a little confused. "Is it me, or does it sometimes feel like Slumbo zaaap zapp mistreats his leader?" "It is a curious situation. Each tribe does interact differently with each other. We may zaaaap not get it. But, as long as it makes sense to them, then we have zap zaaaap no room to judge." "... Yeah, but it's still weird, right?" "I... Uh... Y-Yeah, a little..." They eventually reach the Frosticon's Lair, and enter the hotel. Slippery stood there with his claws together, and eyes closed in such a calm manner. "Aaah. I've been expecting you." "Woooah, really?" Flurr says. With sparkles in his eyes. "No, I'm just reading the doormat on the ground." Everyone looks down to their feet, and sees the doormat in question. This makes the sparkles Flurr had go away. Excitement replaced with disappointment. "Oooof course..." "But seriously what does bring you all to this hotel?" "It's a looooong story." It cuts to the group sitting in one of the bed rooms. Teslo was sitting next to Volectro, just making sure he was okay. Slumbo was laying down on the bed, with his eyes closed. And Flurr sat down looking directly at Slippery. After filling each other in. Slippery scratched his chin, deep in thought. "I see..." I see? That's it!? Come on, man. You gotta give us more than, I see!" "Hmm... It seems like this conflict started way before the food shortage. That's what built up unresolved issues can do to someone. So if we address the core, then maybe things won't be as bad." "That's the thing..." Teslo adds. "We're not entirely sure. I mean, Kraw can be a bit over dramatic at times. But, it never lead to anyone feeling like they have to feel one way or the other. Things has been pretty different. But who says different has to equal bad?" Slippery nods. "My thoughts exactly. But, you have to understand that some Mixels may not think that way... But, I think there could be a simple solution to this. All we just need to is..." The other Mixels lean closer in anticipation. Even Slumbo opens his eyes in interest. "Make Flain, Fraze, and Pam Pam feel welcomed!" Everyone slouches down a bit. And Slumbo leans on his side. Flurr was the most worked up about that. "Helloooo? That's what I've been trying to do for the longest! But Flain is still such a stubborn flame butt! Isn't there some... I dunno, magic item that can just fix everything?" "Unfortunately no, my flying friend. It's both the simplest, and longest answer to your troubles. Just think about it. The reason why some Mixels don't feel as close, is because you guys didn't give them a fair shot. And sense you didn't give him a chance, he won't give you a chance. That's the thing about all relationships. A good deal of trust is needed for everyone involved. Once that trust gets broken, just once. It can be very hard to repair again. You guys need to make Flain feel like he can trust you again. Then maybe, after some time, he'll be willing to hear what you say and not take it the worse way possible. The tricky part is you guys need to respect Flain the whole entire way. I'm sure even he wants to be friends with you all again. But, if your friendship is strong with him. Then with enough time and patience... It could be what Kraw describes as back to how it used to be. But, y'know with new friends, haha." As the Mixels listen to Slippery speak. They think about the moments in the past. How Teslo didn't understand Fraze's power, so there were moments where he was a bit scared of him. How Volectro didn't want to get involved in anything happening, so put all his focus on Shuff. Forgetting about Flain. How Slumbo gave Lunk a hard time every time he decided to hang out with Flain instead of himself. And Flurr..... It flashes back to him bragging to Flain about taking his partner. Even being part of saying how weird his kid was. Later on, after the break up. He did try sending letters about how bad he felt for his actions... but deep down, at the time... He didn't really believe those words. He didn't blame Flain for not checking all those letters... It comes back to the present. Flurr starts to tear up, and looks down in shame. "We... Really did not make it easy for him, huh?" Slippery clears his throat and continues "It's not just you guys as well as many other mixels that gave him a hard time heck even had no idea what was going on but already choosing sides not giving Flain the light of day. It's not like Flain just one day decided to not chat with anyone. I'm sure that was a really hard decision to make but he made it and the sad part is to him it seemed like life is doing better for him because of it. With Pam And Fraze both children and not understanding of the world yet they arent treated like a fellow mixel with most mixels? He has to be home alone with someone watching him rather than being able to play outside play in the dirt get messy actually get to be a kid." Volectro twiddles his thumbs looking away in shame "Y'know even though Flain annd I werent Zapppp zap incredibly close He fully supported me, And Fraze even though he couldn't do much he did try to help me get my zapp zapppp ring back..” Slumbo sits up for abit and adds "Flain wanted nothing to do with us especially the frosticons yet even a slow poke like Lunk even if I hate to admit is extremely close to him. Going as fast as he can to make it over to Flains house to not only see him but the kids. In fact he's with the kids right now." Teslo scratches the top of his head, "Flain and I used to be very close and when he used to show up for tribe meetings him and I engaged the most. I miss that alot, it sucks to never really see him but it makes so much since for why he doesn't. Yet.. I cant ignore the fact that recently not only did Flain come over to the fall festivel but he brought his kids. He went out of his way to help and spend time with mixels, he even let us all get to be around him in his house! or at least the ones that he was ok with. He didn't have to do any of that but he chose to." Slippery skates towards everyone and smiles. "I don't expect this to be resoved in a day this all takes time, I bet it took abit for Lunk to earn the amount of trust that he did." Flurr blushes on the comment "Surprisngly not, Lunk was one of the few to always be by Flains side form the very.. ." Flurr pauses and seeing the issue. Lost in words. While Slippery made a soft smile and continued looking over to the Great Frozen Lake. "Regardless it wasn't instant, you keep supporting you'll get around to that level with him. All of you even you Flurr I know you feel the most doubtful because you feel you started the spiral but what if I told you that Flai trust you far more than he orignally did years ago?" Flurr looks up at Slippery, with a shocked expression. "R-really!? I mean, that'd be great. But I dunno, man. He seems to just tolerate me..." "And? It's a lot more than genuine hate, right? Even then, I believe he likes you. As I said, I think he wants to be friends with you, just as much as you want to be friends with him. But, this'll be something you all will have to work together on... As for the Mixels with Kraw now... Yeaaah that's a tough one. Just remember that they are more likely than not in the same situation as you are. Once you all have an honest conversation with Flain. That's when the healing can begin. And also I feel this new Mixel may be the key to that healing... Anyway. You guys make yourselves at home. I'll be counting the mucks I just made today~" Teslo tilts his head in confusion. "Mucks? Flurr, what does he mean by that?" "Juuust the thing that makes him so annoying..." Slippery slides next to the door, and turns around with a smirk. "Oh? Are you saying the leader of the Frosticons has no mucks on him at all? That'd be strange wouldn't it?" "N-no! Of course I have mucks!" "Kayo~ I'll put it on your tab then." Slippery slips away, with Flurr looking very unamused. Slumbo chuckles. "He'd make for a great salesman." He then lays back down on the bed..... It cuts back to Kraw's restaurant. All of the cabinets are filled to the brim with food. "Heheh! Good work everyone!" Kraw says. The Cragsters high five each other. The Fang Gang run around chasing each other. And Zaptor is just... there. Kraw starts rubbing his black tentacles. "Now, remember team. This isn't just about the food. It's about working together to make our lives better! And what better way to keep things how they're supposed to be than by making sure this neeeeew Mixel doesn't get in the way of our life! Eventually the other Mixels will see it our way!" "Me want things good!" Kradar says, as he stomps the ground. "Me want hang outs back!" Sisemo says as he smashes his claws together. "Me want... Volectro..." Shuff says, as he looks down. Kraw walks up to him with a stern look "Well, he should've came with you. It's the price to pay for change. But don't worry. It'll all be for good!" "Yeah... Me guess..." "Okay then. I know what our group will be called for now on. We will be known as..." Kraw turns around and points dramatically. "The Mixels of Great Change!" Everyone cheers!... Except for Shuff and Bulk. Who look a little weary.
Neh Edt .. ?
