The moment Wei Long nodded, confirming Xi Na as his partner—
Glock'Nine's entire body shuddered.
His feathers fluffed up violently.
His ugly lizard feet scraped the ground.
His beak twisted in horror.
Then—
"Ugh!"
His entire face scrunched up in disgust.
Like he had just eaten the most rotten, fermented, putrid, foul-smelling, maggot-infested egg in existence.
"She's so ugly!" he screeched.
Xi Na twitched.
Wei Long's brow arched.
Red'Ribbon snorted lazily.
But Glock'Nine wasn't done.
"How could you—? How could you possibly—? HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY PICK HER?!"
Wei Long blinked.
"Yes… She'll be your partner," he stated firmly.
Glock'Nine froze.
His beady rooster eyes widened.
Then—
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
His agonized scream echoed through the forest.
The Henragens all screeched in response.
The ground shook.
Leaves fell from the trees.
