With the Senshi gone, Tetra approached Chip again, who was busily eating cupcake. "Should you really be eating that?" He asked.
"Ay not?" Chip asked, bits of cupcake scattering about in front of him. He swallowed once. "'s good!" He insisted.
Tetra shrugged. "Are you done with your little test, then?"
"Oh, ya!" Chip nodded quickly, pawing at the cupcake remains. "I got what I needed. Kick it over or somethin' so I can take the parts back home!"
"...Kick it?"
"Yup!" Chip nodded enthusiastically. "Just give it a good
whack. Don't worry, I don't mind if stuff breaks, and it's fun!"
Tetra regarded the kitten with a bemused look for a moment, then gently picked him up and set him down a few feet away before obliging the request. He assumed a fighting stance briefly, and then with a shout launched a negaverse-enhanced kick at the thing, and it shattered to pieces.
"Okay," he allowed. "That
was satisfying."
"See?" Chip chirped happily. "Most of it is junk anyway, I just need..." He wandered over to one part that appeared to be glowing a little. He pawed it, and it vanished. "That! Now, then! Let's go!"
