Author's Note: You thought that this AU was done? So did I honestly. The thing is that when you get a new idea for an AU, then you've gotta do it. I didn't go into two much info on what happened to these three, and I honestly plan to keep it like that. 

 I also don't really plan on introducing this AU into the Mightyverse. Well, as a mainstream story, that is. Referenced? Perhaps. 

 Anyways, Enjoy. :)

------------------------------------

 Scar's POV:

 "  I still don't understand why I couldn't just stay at the tower with Mighty..." I frowned as I followed behind Cub as we followed the path to Stress's monster skull home.

 " This is a learning experience, Scar... Also, I need you to help out in case what Stress's scroll had claimed was true." he told me as I looked down at Mighty. The toddler was wiggling in the carrier that I had strapped around my chest. I don't know how Stress got this for us, but I'm incredibly thankful, " We also can't leave a toddler in the tower... That is just poor babysitting..." 

 I sighed as we climbed up the stone steps, " Have you gotten any news about Mighty's friends?" I questioned as Cub sighed, " No." he answered in a monotone voice. I frowned at him, " It's been months though.... We haven't... made any progress, and Mighty's... she's just stuck in this state and not changing at all." I told him as Cub nodded, " I know... Somehow my messages just haven't been getting out."

 Cub stopped and looked down at me. He was standing with his feet on two separate steps. I stopped too and frowned as I looked up at him. Cub's ears twitched, " Just... We can talk about this later... Let's help Stress with what she found..." he nodded his head as he went back up the stairs. I looked down at Mighty as the hybrid sniffled and let out a small bark. I frowned and continued to go up the stairs.

 When I reached the top of the stairs, Stress and Cub were already talking to each other. I blinked. Man, Cub is real fast. Then again, he's not carrying an unhappy, wiggling toddler that meows loudly. 

 Stress turned her head, " What took ya so long love?" she questioned as I pointed toward Mighty. The alchemist nodded, " Well, let's get her inside.... I can show you what I found afterwards." she motioned for us to follow. Stress walked over to a small area near to her cooking pot that had a small carved out log that was floating above a magical orb. There was also a small pillow and a blanket inside. 

 I took the toddler out of the carrier and wrapped her up in the blanket. Mighty's tail twitched as I put her into the log causing her to purr and sniffle before falling asleep. I looked over at Stress, " Did you enchant this stuff?" I questioned as Stress nodded, " Indeed I did." she smiled as the three of us briefly watched the snoozing hybrid.

 After a few minutes passed, Stress shook her head, " Right, Right... Ah got distracted there." she sighed as she waved her hand again. Cub and I looked at each other and nodded as we followed her outside. We went down some more stone stairs until we came upon a clearing that was surrounded by vines and ice. 

 Two statues were reaching out to reach other. One statue was made out of stone and covered in vines. The second looked like a man made out of ice. Below the two statues, in the center of a small circle of vines, ice, and mushrooms, was a bull that had its horns shaved down with small holes in it. The bull looked like it had been drained of blood. Also, the bull had been tied up to the wrist of the vine covered statue. 

 " What do you need us for?" Cub questioned as Stress frowned, " You two both have strong magic... I only really know the basics and nature... These three are under a strong curse that seemed to have slowly morphed them into the forms that they are right now." Stress crossed her arms, " They seemed to have arrived here just a few days ago, and yet I didn't hear them... sadly." 

 Cub nodded his head, " I think I can reverse the curse on this bovine here... Just be ready for him to go back into the human state had had before turning...It could get dicey." 

 Stress and I nodded as we took multiple steps back. I focused my magic and put a protective shield in front of us. Cub's ears and tail twitched as he held his hands out. A blue glow wrapped around his fingers as he pointed his hands towards the bovine. 

 It stared at Cub blankly as it let out a weak moo. Cub's eyes glowed as he fired a beam of magic into the bull causing it to hover as magic surrounded it. Its hooves turned into hands and feet as its muzzle morphed into a bearded man's face. His body grew skinnier and paler until Cub lowered him to the ground. 

 I lowered the shield and Stress ran back to the home. Soon, Stress returned with a blanket. The two of us hurried over to the unconscious man. Cub took the blanket and wrapped the man up causing him to moan. 

 " I'm going to cut his loose. The rope's diggin' into his neck." Cub frowned. Cub took out a knife and quickly cut the man out of his binds causing him to take a sharp breath and twitch. Thankfully, he didn't ram his neck into the knife as he moved. 

 Cub scooped the man up and looked at us, " Let's get him inside before he wakes up." he spoke in a whisper as the two of us nodded at him. We hurried into Stress's cabin, and she showed Cub were to lay the hurt bull hybrid down. 

 Stress got some crushed herbs and other medicine that was needed in order to treat our new friend. I crossed my arms nervously as I sat down on the rocking chair that was next to log crib that Mighty was in. 

 " He's got a huge hole in his stomach and leg... His legs are still losing fur and his feet are still turning into a normal color..." Stress studied. Stress looked up at Cub, " Can you fetch me the robes that I got as a present from Ash and Jasmine? It's in the chest." she pointed as she started to treat the many injuries that the hybrid had. 

 Cub nodded as he hurried over to the chest. His own robes fluttering behind him as I looked between the two. Stress worked on the man's body diligently. His skin was badly splotched and covered with weird markings. Also, a deep rope burn wrapped around his neck from when he was still in his cursed animal form.

 I know that Cub said that hybrids take on a weaker form when tired or hurt, but this man, I guess he was cursed into that form. I wonder how harmful it was? How long was he trapped in that body, and did he slowly lose his mind overtime? My body shuddered. I don't want to think about it.

 I shook my head and perked up to the sound of gasping. I looked towards the bull hybrid as he tried to sit up and shake, " I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE YOU GUYS!" he yelled in a hoarse voice. Stress and Cub quickly gripped him as he shook and panicked. His eyes were filled with dread until bright colors flooded into his eyes causing him to gasp for breath. 

 The man coughed out a colorful liquid as his shaking started to calm down. Stress looked at me, " Grab the pink potion from my cabinet, Scar." she spoke urgently. I nodded and stood up from the chair. I hurried over to the cabinet and quickly retrieved the potion for her. 

 Stress thanked me and uncorked the potion. She looked at Cub as he nodded and propped him up. I watched anxiously as Stress helped the man drink the potion. After he finished the potion, he let out a soft sigh as his eyes went back to normal. 

 " Who...Who are you...people?" he questioned as he slowly started to drift off again. Cub was going to explain who were are, but the man fell back asleep. This time, thankfully, he looked more at peace as he rested. 

 Cub sighed, " When do you think he'll wake up again?" he questioned as he laid the man back down and covered him with a blanket. Cub also put the robes on top of the blanket for when the man woke up.

 Stress shrugged her shoulders, " It's hard ta tell love... His injuries run deep... It may even be within his mind for all we know... I was lucky to heal some of the worse parts to the external stuff." 

 Cub and I frowned heavily, " That... That sucks..." I mumbled as Stress nodded, " Don't worry though... I can take care of him when he wakes up... You two have your own problem to deal with." she motioned towards where Mighty was. 

 I nodded my head, " We know." I told her as I wandered over to the log and scooped the toddler up. Mighty was still fast asleep as put the holder back onto me and put Mighty into it to. The two of us waved Stress goodbye.

 " Send your bird if you need anything." Cub told Stress as she nodded, " Don't worry Cub, I will." she smiled softly as we left her house. The two of us waved goodbye in return as we made the decently long trek back to the horse buggy that Cub had parked down at the road.
