Zenny flipped his cane in his hand and pointed at the tree the sabretooth crashed into. The orange orb glowed and zapped the tree. Before Axel’s eyes, the tree was engulfed in orange light and black sand. It shrunk down and reshaped itself, becoming a generic, modern version of a washing machine. Axel had no idea what this strange object was, only that it looked mechanical, white, clean, and had a window open on its front side. The circular door to the washing machine opened as the Sabretooth groaned and stood back up in a daze.

Zenny walked towards the bad guy and stuck his staff in the ground along the way. He tossed his white hat up into the air above the larger cat to let it slowly fall. He undid his bow tie, took off his jacket, and hopped out his pants, showing some black swim pants he wore under those. He approached the cat with a hand full of clothes. “Hold these for a second,” Zenny said.

The cat, in his confusion, dropped his weapon to take the clothes. It blinked for a few seconds and looked at the fox before the top hat came down and blinded him. “What the…”

Zenny snapped his finger as the staff floated off the ground, aimed the orb half at the cat, and jolted forward. The large cat lifted the hat just in time to have the wind knocked out of him as the orb smacked him dead in his stomach. The Sabretooth flew a few feet back and landed inside the washing machine with a loud metal bang. The door closed and locked him in along with Zenny’s white suit.

Zenny hummed to himself and opened two latches atop the machine. He reached behind the machine to get some soap and bleach, poured them in, and started the machine.

The washer activated with the cat screaming, swearing, bashing, and clawing all around the inside but nothing broke. He let out another scream when hot water filled up the washer and quickly started swirling him around.

Axel’s jaw dropped, unsure of what he was witnessing. Zenny kept his red bowtie and went back towards Axel. “I think they’ll be clean in about 10 minutes,” Zenny smiled.

“Wh… how did… and you… but he… and that… WHAT’S GOING ON? WHO ARE YOU?”

Zenny giggled and went to the river past the smaller tiger and got his bowtie wet to clean it. “Wattcha mean? I already told ya. Zenny phox, the little magician at your service. I do parties, catering, weddings, circuses, birthdays, and so much more. I also side hustle as a guardian to adventurers but still waiting on the permits,” he winked.

“So… you did… all that with magic? I’ve never seen that kind of magic before,” he looked over at the strange machine. The window showed the cat getting sloshed around while pawing at the window, gurgling as the inside was full of clothes, dirty hot water, soap, and air bubbles so he was fine… mostly.

“It’s a secret.” He said rubbing his bowtie. “So, what was your name again? I don’t think I caught it since we were suddenly interrupted.”

“O-oh, Axel, I’m Axel Thunderpaw,” he said.
