After a big battle against Inavara and Yuira's army, Savrin and the others finally can use some rest. Not for too long, though:

SAVRIN: Oh, Lord! That was big!
ZEPHYR: Tell me about it! Whitey is a big cheater! If I could transform to my Ultimate Form, he would get some for sure!
QUVAS: Don't be too cocky, Zephyr. He got more training, power, technique, magic, mind and speed than you.
ZEPHYR: Forgot something?...
DIANE: He's less dumb, cocky, stupid, arrogant, yutz...
ZEPHYR: I DIDN'T ASK YOU!
DIANE: You're not my boss to tell me when to speak!
ZEPHYR: If you don't shut up...
ABBIE: WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
ZEPHYR: Stay away, coyote!
QUVAS: Hey, hey! Cut it out, you 3!!!
ZEPHYR, DIANE and ABBIE: ...
SAVRIN: Let them fight. At least they can release some steam... and donate some plasma.
ZEPHYR, DIANE and ABBIE: SHUT UP!!!
QUVAS: Calm down!... We shouldn't be here at all...
DIANE: What do you mean, Quvas?
ZEPHYR(with a sinister voice): This forest is called Blood Mary's Forest. The legend says; one female vixen called Mary Pringled was walking by this forest, and people said a man with eyes as black as coal came, walking on the water, seduced her and she was found in the end of this path, covered with her own blood. NYAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
DIANE: Humph! That's the worst story we ever heard, right, Abbie?
ABBIE: ...blood...black as coal...walking on the water...
DIANE: ...nevermind.
SAVRIN: Don't mock him, Di. Remember, we came from the future. This forest is now a city in our time, so...
ZEPHYR: Hey, wait! Y'all came from WHEN?
SAVRIN: Uh, well...

BBBBBBBRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!

EVERYONE: WHOA!!!

ZEPHYR: What a Hell???
QUVAS: It was an energy blast!!!
SAVRIN: Who did this?
ABBIE: Maybe Whitey...
?: Hey, hold yerself, godamit!
??: Sorry. I got carried away.
???: So you call that training?
????: Now I call it death wish.
? and ??: SHUT UP!
?????: Don't take it personally, boys.
DIANE: Who's there?!
ABBIE, ZEPHYR, QUVAS and SAVRIN: SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

DIANE, ABBIE, ZEPHYR, QUVAS and SAVRIN: WHY WE'RE SCREAMING?
JOHN, CHRIS, JACKIE, PAT and SUSIE: WE DON'T KNOW!
DIABE, ABBIE, ZEPHYR, QUVAS, SAVRIN, JOHN, CHRIS, JACKIE, PAT and SUSIE: .......Y'ALL CUT IT OUT!!!!!!
JOHN: Ah, there ya are!
ZEPHYR: Yes, but we might be like the road!
CHRIS: Sorry, we were training and...
PAT: Training? HAH! Killing each other is more suitable!
JOHN: Very funny, VERY FUNNY!
JACKIE: Don't tease them, Pat.
SUSIE: Yeah, otherwise, they'll cry!
SAVRIN: HEY, HEY, HEY! ... Eh? Scuse me, but... why do you have these strange golden patterns?
SUSIE: Oh, these? Well, they're here because only THE CHOSEN ONES have these.
ZEPHYR: The WHAT?
JACKIE: The Chosen Ones! These patterns are our IDs.
DIANE: IDs?
CHRIS: Justa way of speaking. Lemme introduce us to you all:

JOHN 'SQUALL' FLAHERTY: the Chosen of LIGHTNING and THUNDER;
JACKELINE 'JACKIE' ALVEZ: the Chosen of WHITE and GOLDEN ENERGY;
CHRISTIAN 'COSMO' CLIFFORD(me): the Chosen of WIND and SKY;
PATRÍCIA 'PAT' RODRIGUEZ: the Chosen of FIRE and LAVA;
...and...
SUSIE 'Q' FLANNAGAN: the Chosen of WATER and ICE.

CHRIS: There!
DIANE, ABBIE, ZEPHYR, QUVAS and SAVRIN: ...uhhhhhh, yeah.

QUVAS:... OK. I guess it's time to introduce ourselves.
JOHN: Oh, there's no need for that.
QUVAS: Why?
JOHN: Oh, I don't know! Maybe 'cause YOU'VE ALREADY DID THAT ON THAT JUMPIN' 'N SHOUTIN' CONVERSATION!
ABBIE: But all we did was say our names.
JOHN: So?
ABBIE: SO? You all came with this 'presentation-to-the-whole-class', thus...
JOHN: OK, OK! I got the ticket! I prefer to guess, though.
SAVRIN: Guess?
ZEPHYR: HA!!! That I wanna see!
SUSIE: Fine. I'll do it. Let's see:

...you're SAVRIN FURFIRE, a firewolf hybrid, with personal troubles from the past that are still on your thoughs nowadays. But you try to remain calm and not let these thoughs have any influence on your actions, altough it's too hard for you.
...and you're ZEPHYR, a pure firewolf, with big potential, big confidence, and BIG head. I can also see that you're not very found on these two furs, but you just can't leave them hanging, although you don't like to show it. Ah, you also have some personal matters with a very close relative.
...now, you're ABBIE MAIL'AR, adopted by an old, but very kind cat male. Whoa, you sure has quite of a past on your back! Anyways, you have strong feelings on your stepsi... I mean, sister, always looks after her. But this can lead you to jump into conclusions without giving it a good thinking. Also a lil' short-temper, but very kind at heart.
...you're DIANE MAIL'AR, a great thief's daughter, and proud of it. Oh, you've lost track of your father when little, and always dreams about meeting him again someday. A little obsessive and compulsive, jump to conclusions most time, but you are strong, independent, brave, agile and love your brother alot, althought oyu have some trouble trying to show it.
...finally you're QUVAS LIGHTFOOT, a brave soldier and high guard chief of the Wildtra Tribe. Very loyal to your commander and has a high sense of honor and justice. However, you always have your thoughs focused on your deceased son, and this acting almost costed yours and other people's life. But you're in peace with yourself now, like a big bag of potatoes was took off from your shoulders. Now, you gave yourself a mission: lead these youngsters to the right path and train them for anything that comes at your journey.

DIANE, ABBIE, ZEPHYR, QUVAS and SAVRIN: ...uhhhhhh, OK.
JOHN: Y'all have to say this all the time?
ZEPHYR: Well, what do you expect? First, we almost were transformed into porkchops by my brother with Hitler Complex, the furs getting on my nerves and, to finish, you almost turned us to dust! I'm starting to like the prison again...
DIANE: Quiet, Zephy!
ZEPHYR: W-H-A-T D-I-D Y-O-U J-U-S-T S-A-Y ?
SAVRIN: Please, not again...
ZEPHYR: Mind your businness, hybrid!
SAVRIN: W-H-A-T D-I-D Y-O-U J-U-S-T S-A-Y ?
ZEPHYR: Hey, that's my line!
QUVAS: Calm down, please!
ABBIE: Oh, God...
CHRIS: *sniff, sniff* Hey, you are feeling this?
JOHN, JACKIE, PAT and SUSIE: ...Yes.
JOHN: Bettter warn the others. Hey.
DIANE, ABBIE, ZEPHYR, QUVAS and SAVRIN: You just, Shut up, Don't talk to, Wait a sec, Stop it...
JOHN, CHRIS, JACKIE, PAT and SUSIE: HEY, YOU DOPES!!!!
DIANE, ABBIE, ZEPHYR, QUVAS and SUSIE: WHAT???!!!
CHRIS: ... we're not alone... danger's ahead.
DIANE: Danger?
PAT: Yeah, it looks like an army...
ABBIE: Army?
JACKIE: Yes, formed by... weasels?
DIANE, ABBIE, ZEPHYR, QUVAS and SAVRIN: Inavara and Yuira...
CHRIS: Friends of yours?
SAVRIN: Oh yeah, some good friends. They want to eat us alive, regurgitate us and eat us again over, and over...
JOHN: OK, OK, we got the picture! But they're not in open fields.
QUVAS: So? Where are they?!
JACKIE: They're at some sorta...castle. Maybe you know something about it, Zephyr.
ZEPHYR: Me? The only castle I know is...!
DIANE and ABBIE: ...the PRISON!
ZEPHYR: But we can't be so sure! Only if has...
JOHN: ... a big ol' hole on its wall?
ZEPHYR: Uhhh, yes?
JOHN: Well, guess we found it.

SAVRIN: So, that's the place where you guys were taken?!
ABBIE: Yeah, and where we met Zephyr.
DIANE: Ahhh, nothing like BAD memories!
ZEPHYR: What's that supposed to mean?
SUSIE: Hey, don't start again, PLEASE!!
EVERYONE: SSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
SUSIE: ...sorry...
QUVAS: Look! The main gate! That's big!...
SAVRIN: Yeah, and it's being guarded by one of Yuira's men.
JOHN: Lemme handle the sonova gun...
ZEPHYR: What?! Where are y...
CHRIS: No sweat! He knows what he's doing... I hope.
EVERYONE:...
QUVAS: I bet he'll hide in the bushes, jump on his throat and then...
JOHN: HOWDY, FRIEND!!!
PAT: ...and ya call yerself a high guard chief?
QUVAS: Don't provoke me, you!
WEASEL: Who are you?
JOHN: Beg your pardon, but, is there something on your mind?
WEASEL: WHAT?
JOHN: Come on, a penny for yer toughs.
WEASEL: GET THE HELL...
JOHN: OK, OK! Just one more thing.
WEASEL: What?!
JOHN: There's something on yer eye.
WEASEL: Huh?... Wait a sec! There's nothing here!
JOHN: Oh, no?

*paf!*

JOHN: There's now!
DIANE: ...subtle, VERY subtle...
CHRIS: Well, at least the coast is clear.
QUVAS: He's right. All we got to do is stay quiet as much as...
JOHN: HEY, AIN'T Y'ALL COMING?! I'LL HAVE ALL THE FUN IF YA DON'T!!!
QUVAS: ...I give up!
JACKIE: You give up? We did that loooooong time ago!
JOHN: COME ON, Y'ALL!!! OR ARE Y'ALL WAITING FOR THE GRAVEYARD TRAIN???
SAVRIN: ...I think he wants us to go there...
ZEPHYR: Really? I didn't notice it.
JACKIE(pulling the Firewolfs by their ears): Come on, Short and Martin!
SAVRIN and ZEPHYR: Ouch! Own! Justa joke!

Inside the big ol' castle...

CHRIS: Now that's what I call a castle!
ABBIE: Yeah; big, dark, smelly, humid, dusty, dark-brown everywhere...
JOHN: It reminds me the reformatory.
EVERYONE: ?
JOHN: ...Hold it!
EVERYONE: WHOA!!!

*crash!!!*

JOHN: I said 'HOLD IT', not 'SQUEEZE ME'!
EVERYONE: Next time, don't do it all of a sudden!
JOHN: Anyways, I felt something. It cames from right across this corner.
DIANE: Well, what are we gonna do?
ZEPHYR: I'll go ahead.
ABBIE: Are you insane?!
ZEPHYR: Hey, use your head, fur! I'm the one who was brought here for summer vacations, so I know this place well.
DIANE: Hold it! You said way back then you were chained here for 9 months! So, are you lying, or just playing cool?
ZEPHYR: Keep thinking, while I make my way to Yuira and Whitey's chamber. Just don't try too hard, or you'll be as bald as a Siamese cat!
DIANE: WHY, YOU!!! Don't hold me, Abbie! I'll get this little...
JOHN: Just go, godamit!
ZEPHYR: Well, here goes!

25 minutes later...

CHRIS: Where's Zephyr?
DIANE: I knew he was going to let us down. It's so like him!!!
QUVAS: Now, don't start, Diane. Maybe he's getting some trouble at the corridors.
ABBIE: ...or maybe he was arrested and right now he's being tortured.
DIANE: Thanks, Abbie. That really cheared me up.
JOHN: Yo, sav! Come here!
SAVRIN: What?
JOHN(whispering): I don't know why, but I bet they'll end up married. SAVRIN: ....
DIANE: Shut Up!

*throw! bak!*

SAVRIN: OUCH!
DIANE: Uh-oh. Sorry, Savrin.
PAT: Wait! Someone's coming!
QUVAS: Who?
PAT: I don't know, but by its smell, I say: 'Lets knock him out'!
SUSIE: OK! Quvas, grab this vase. When he appears, make him see stars!
QUVAS: Got it!
CHRIS: Wait... 3... 2... 1... NOW!

*crash*

QUVAS: Did I hit him?
SAVRIN: Sure thing!
ABBIE: Well, who's it?
JACKIE: Uh, it's... Zephyr?
QUVAS: Oh God, it's Zephyr! Come on, man, wake up! Say some words!
ZEPHYR: ... I'll kill ya, I'll murder ya!!!
QUVAS: Wrong words!

*bak!*

ZEPHYR: OWN! Don't drop me like that anymore!
SAVRIN: Well? Did you find them?
ZEPHYR: You know when I said I knew this place well?
EVERYONE: Yeah?
ZEPHYR: Guess what? I was wrong...
EVERYONE: I don't believe it! You dope! We wait 25 minutes to hear this?
JOHN: Alright, alright! Now we gotta find out a way to at least move a little.
GUARD: How about moving to a cell?
ZEPHYR: HA! Who'll force us? You and what army?

*lights came and an entire army of weasels appears*

GUARD: How about this one?
ZEPHYR: *gulp* Good enough! Now, shall we follow these fine gentlemen?
DIANE: ...subtle, VERY subtle...
EVERYONE: STOP SAYING THAT!!!
DIANE: Why's everyone in a bad mood

"JOHN: GIMME THOSE PRISON DAYS AGAIN...
EVERYONE: SHUT UP!!!!!
GUARD: Quiet, you losers!
QUVAS: OK, now what are we gonna do?
SAVRIN: Maybe start a rebellion is out of the picture.
ZEPHYR: Yeah, and some aspirins as well!
QUVAS: I said I'm sorry!
ZEPHYR: Why'd ya hit me, anyways?!
DIANE: Well, these guys smelled something and they confused you with the weasels...
ZEPHYR: Oh, OK... now, HOW YOU DARE TO CONFUSE ME TO THOSE 'THINGS'?
JOHN: Sorry, man, but... Wait a sec! Ya the one who confused us! Ya were smelling different than b'fore.
ZEPHYR: ...
EVERYONE: ...SO?
ZEPHYR: I was walking by one of those corridors, when...

'-Now, let's see... what's behind the door number 1? HA!... Just a dinner room. Um... I bet its door number 2... HEYA!!!... a bathroom. Aha! It must be door number 3... TAG!!!

*wash!*

-Damn! What's that? It's, it's...'

EVERYONE: PICKLEJUICE?!
ZEPHYR: Yeah, I know, why do they store picklejuice here?
ABBIE: I think your fur smelling like vinegar is a good reason.
ZEPHYR: OH, QUIET! Now, help me get this smell outta my fur!
SUSIE: Fine, fine, hold ya whining! And yourself, too.
ZEPHYR: Whaddya mean...

Susie uses her water abilities to wash Zephyr's fur.

*wwwwhhhoooooosssssshhhhhh!!!!*

ZEPHYR: HEY, CUT IT OUT!!!
SUSIE: You wanted to take the smell out of your fur, didn't ya?
ZEPHYR: But at least you could use hot water!
SUSIE: Don't look at me, it wasn't my idea!
ZEPHYR: So, who... DIANE!!!
DIANE: Heheheheh...
?: Awwwwwnnnn, isn't that cute?
??: I would say kawaii.
JOHN: ...?. Who's there?
ZEPHYR: Whitey.
INAVARA: Zephy.
ZEPHYR: DON'T...
EVERYONE: ...'CALL ME THAT', WE KNOW!!!
ZEPHYR: ...
??: Hello again, brat...
DIANE: How you doing, ugly?
YUIRA: Fine, fine. But you won't for too long...
JOHN: Well, nothing like a lil' reunion, don't y'all think?
EVERYONE: ......
JOHN: ...maybe not.
INAVARA: Who's this freak?
JOHN: Did I ever say anything 'bout ya?
INAVARA: QUIET! I'll take care of you later! But first, we have some little business to take care.
CHRIS: Yeah? Like what?
YUIRA: Business between the brat and me, for example.
INAVARA: And between Zephy and me.
CHRIS: Oh. Ok then, farewell you two!
ZEPHYR and DIANE: WHAT? We're not going anywhere!!!
SAVRIN: Finally, you two agreed with something.
INAVARA: HAHAHA! Funny! Just for that, you'll be the last.
ABBIE: What are you, sadistic? Don't you even think of touching her, you...
PAT: Calm down, boy. It won't be any good trying to upset them.
ABBIE: I don't care! Take me instead of her!
DIANE: Abbie, no!
QUVAS: Now wait. I'm the oldest here and I'm the Wildtra Tribe high guard chief. I'll go in their place.
EVERYONE: No way, I'll go, Not you, Why not?, Hold it...
INAVARA and YUIRA: SHUT UP!!!
YUIRA: We made our choice. You, the fox with the scar!
JOHN: Who, me?
INAVARA: No, the wall. YES, you, a**hole!
SUSIE: Watch your...
JOHN: Wait, Susie! Fine, I'll go without resistance and without tricks...
YUIRA: That's how I like it. Come, now.
JACKIE: John, please!...
JOHN: I'll be OK.
INAVARA: You won't say it later...
JOHN: Now, y'all stay here. And Susie...
SUSIE: Yes, John?
JOHN(whispering): Update the others about us, OK?
SUSIE: ?
INAVARA: What did you say?
JOHN: I said: 'You smell like a big ol' baboon butt on a July's noonday Sun!'
INAVARA: GGGGGGGRRRRRRRR!!!!!
YUIRA: Wait, Inavara. You will have your fun later, let him have his for now.
JOHN: HAHA! Look who's talking, the big ol' excuse for a fur coat!
YUIRA: WHY YOU!!!
INAVARA: Now, don't forget it! We'll let him has his fun, and then we'll have ours!
YUIRA: Ooooouuuuuhhhhhh... fine!
JOHN: Now, come on, TAKE ME TO YER LEADER!
INAVARA: Let's go before I kill him right here!
YUIRA: Let's go... and don't you worry, losers. Your time will come. Until then, why don't you try to build your love?

NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!..... They disappeared in the shadows.

DIANE: What did she mean by that?
JACKIE: Isn't that obvious? Here, look at there. What do you see?
DIANE: Only Zephyr...
JACKIE: Now, keep looking at him and remember Yuira's words.
DIANE: ......! I'LL GET HER! I'LL GET HER!!!
ZEPHYR: Thank you SO MUCH!
SUSIE: Wait, you guys. John told me to tell y'all the truth...
EVERYONE: The truth?
SUSIE: About our past...
JACKIE: Wait, you guys weren't a couple, were you?
SUSIE: NO, no!... well, maybe for a little.

CHRIS: What you two were hiding from us?
SUSIE: Please, try to understand...
PAT: Understand WHAT? You came with all these secrets, John was taken away, this place unables our powers and you're telling us to CALM DOWN?
QUVAS: Now, wait a moment! It's fair to let her explain herself.
SUSIE: Well, we were thinking that it would be the best time to tell y'all after Chris and John's training, but then all this happened, and we forgot to tell y'all.
DIANE: Well, now you have all the time.
SAVRIN: Wait, Di. Susie, maybe you want us not to hear your story...
SUSIE: Oh, no, I don't mind. At least, this'll take your mind away from all this for a while.
ZEPHYR: I wouldn't mind to hear.
ABBIE: Me, neither, I like a good story.
QUVAS: So, I guess you don't have much choice than sharing your past with us.
SUSIE: OK... Everything happened 5 or 6 years ago...

'...the local was Rindt Tribe, at the Maiquin Island. That village was home of the CHOSEN ONES, the originals. Our tribe was formed by all kinds of furs, from foxes to dragons. John and I lived there since we were little cubs. I was born an year before him and, that might surprise y'all, he was the Chief's son. But he never liked his position, always refusing the comforts that the royal life could offer. Instead, he always played with us, his subjects, talking, laughing, mocking and being mocked. But he never cried. Only when he was born, but never again. He was a happy and very active fox, though. The king and the queen didn't like the idea of him joining us to a hunt at the fields, but the tribe's shaman said it would do to him just good things, 'make him stronger, faster, brave, with quick thoughs and agile as a cheetah'. Of course he was exaggerating, but what he said was everything that a true ruler might have. So, since that day, John always was with us at huntings, patrols and even in training and sparring. His first fight was against me. I was terrified! I was gonna fight against the Chief's son! What if I won?! What could happen?! I didn't had time to think. He attacked me like a beast attacks its prey. We were using wooden sticks, and he attacked me with sucha fury that I saw, not John, but a wild animal attacking me; so, instinctively, I launched a move and managed to pin him on the ground. When I came to myself, I was more terrifield than proud. I stood up, and he did the same. He approached me and said:

JOHN: Why did ya stopped? It was fun! Come on, Susie, I dare ya!!!

He knew my weak point. I couldn't resist a good challenge, so I put my fears away and we started a brawl that we can still feel the sweat, the steam and the fury. No one dared to stay less than 15 feet near us. We only stopped 3 hours after we started. We were tired, VERY tired, but VERY happy. Everyone who witnessed started to applaud. After that, evryone wanted to challenge us for a fight, but they knew that the best fights were those which had us as the main characters. But the rivality always stayed at the fighting ring. Outside, there was only friendship, so strong that we could notice their talking, like 'They sure make a nice couple, I bet they'll get married, They'll be the tribe's new rulers'. Excepting some sayings, I was somewhat flattered with everything, but not John. Remember when I told y'all he never liked the royal life? Well, not only the life, but also what was reserved for him. I always dreamt of getting marriage with him and being part of the royal family, but John's position throwed my dreams away. I was so mad at him that I stopped talking with him for 3 days. One day, I was at the lake near the tribe, when he appeared;

JOHN: Hi, Susie...

I turned my face away...

JOHN: Oh, come on, girl! What have I done?
SUSIE: Nothing, just destroyed my dreams!
JOHN: WHAT?
SUSIE: That's right! You've ruined my dreams, with your selfish mind!
JOHN: What are you talking about? It's about that prey we hunted this afternoon? Ya didn't tell me it was yours...
SUSIE: Quiet, please, BE QUIET!!!

He was with a sad look, a look I haven't saw in a long time...

JOHN: ... come on, Sue. Tell me, what've I done to make you feel sad? Talk to me... pleeeeeese!
SUSIE: ... you said you wasn't interested in the royal life...
JOHN: ...That's it?! That's what made you so upset at ME?!
SUSIE: YEAH!
JOHN: STOP FOOLING ME!! I WANNA THE TRUTH! I WANNA KNOW WHY!!
SUSIE: OH, WANNA KNOW WHY?
JOHN: OF COURSE I WANT, DAMIT!!!
SUSIE: 'CAUSE I ALWAYS DREAMT ABOUT YOU AND ME, GETTING MARRIED AND LIVING TOGETHER, LIKE HUSBAND AND WIFE, THAT'S WHY!!!
JOHN: !!!...
SUSIE: *sob* ... Happy now?!
JOHN: .......no.
SUSIE: ?
JOHN: How can I be happy when I made ya suffer like that?
SUSIE: ... it isn't entirely your fault...
JOHN: No, no, ya right! It's my fault, all my fault. I'm a big ol' selfish bastard...
SUSIE: Stop it, John!

It was him, alright. Always taking the blame, even when it doesn't involves him, and always taking all the risks... not even minding about his own protection or life...

JOHN: ... sorry, Sue, but I'm just saying all this 'cause, 'cause...
SUSIE: Because?
JOHN: ... because I love you...
Su.: !!!

He LOVES ME? How colud this be? He never showed any signs, anything! I thought he was mocking me, but... he began to caress my face, with such a tenderness that I lost my breath. I was speechless...

SUSIE: Uh, well...
JOHN: ... don't say anything... just relax...

... he kissed me, but it wasn't an ordinary kiss. We've kissed eachother before, but never like that! The kisses before that one were always innocents, just a boy and a girl, fooling around, discovering new sensations... but on that night, it was a thing between two teenage foxes... we weren't kids anymore. I was one year away from my adult life, and John was 2 away, but on that night, we felt older than we really were. We were like a couple, consummating our love. But there was something on our way:

SUSIE: ...no, John, wait!

...myself...

JOHN: um...!.. What happened?!
SUSIE: That's wrong! Just wrong!!
JOHN: WHAT?! But...
SUSIE: John, please. Hold my hand... Now, try to see our future... together... like a couple...
JOHN: ......
SUSIE: Can't see a thing, huh?
JOHN: ...no... but I don't understand! So, why am I so impassioned by you?
SUSIE: ... I don't know, but you saw our future like a couple! As dark as the sky at night!
JOHN: Ya think it's just a passing feeling?
SUSIE: A little teenage romance is more suitable.
JOHN: So... friends?
SUSIE: Yeah... friends.
JOHN: Well, at least we saved our friendship... not that I'm happy with that...
SUSIE: ... I know what will make you feel better, Johnny!
JOHN: What?
SUSIE: It's TICKLES TIME!!!
JOHN: WHAT? WAIT A SEC... HAHAHA, NO, NO, PLEASE HAHA STOP!! PLEASE!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!
SUSIE: NO WAY I'LL STOP!!!
JOHN: OH SO HAHA WANNA FIGHT? HAHAHAHAHA FINE! COUNTERATTACK!!!
SUSIE: HEY, WAIT!! HAHAHAHA NOT FAIR, I STARTED IT!! HAHAHA OH YEAH? TAKE THIS!! HAHAHA...

We continued with that for more than 30 minutes. Time passed so fast we didn't noticed. For 4 months, we managed to forget what happened at that night, already having our thoughs on something else... until...'

EVERYONE: UNTIL WHAT?
SUSIE: ... the 'DAY' came...
EVERYONE: ? "

ZEPHYR: So, what happened on that day?
SUSIE: ...the worst thing that can happen to a Chosen...
JACKIE, CHRIS and PAT: ......!!! You don't mean...
SUSIE: ... the VIPER FORM.
ZEPHYR, DIANE, ABBIE, SAVRIN and QUVAS: The WHAT?
SUSIE: We name our transformations like this:

1-Our basic form is the SP FORM. SP goes for SIMPLE. We look like regular furs.
2-The second is the CHOSENS FORM. It indicates which powers we haveby our patterns.
3-The third is the HOLY FORM. We can use our wings together with the patterns, so we can unleash even more powerful attacks...

ABBIE: HOLD IT! What wings?
SUSIE: Waddya mean... OH! Right! Guys...

SUSIE, JACKIE, CHRIS and PAT: Eeirrghhh!!!

*WHHAAM!!*

ABBIE, DIANE, ZEPHYR, SAVRIN and QUVAS: Holy c...
SUSIE: No, Holy Form.
ZEPHYR: You guys look just like me and Sav! Only that you have those golden patterns.
CHRIS: But we don't have to be with these patterns to use our wings. The Holy Form is a mix between the wings AND the patterns. For some reason, the wings make our attacks even more powerful.
SUSIE: Anyways, let's continue!... Where was I... OH YEAH!:

4-The RUBRED FORM is when our patterns turn red. It only happens when we get very mad and, just for comparison; you know this place, Zephyr? On your most powerful form, could you destroy this place like that?
ZEPHYR: Well, maybe. But I don't think I could rip it off from the face of the planet...
SUSIE: Well, in our Rubred Form, this place and anything in a 10 miles wide range, would be just dust...
ABBIE, DIANE, QUVAS, ZEPHYR and SAVRIN: ...*gulp!*
PAT: Don't worry! We just be like that against an enemy. We never could attack you guys in this form.
SAVRIN: How come?
CHRIS: Y'all know we have this fine sense, and when we saw you at first, we knew you weren't the bad guys.
ABBIE: That's a relief!
SUSIE: Sure it is... on Rubred Form....

5-But in the VIPER FORM, the person totally looses his/her control of mind and body, attacking, destroying, harming and killing anyone and anything that s/he saws and/or finds. Don't know the difference between good and evil, right or wrong, foe and family... Yep, you got it. They can even KILL their own beloveds, from unknown people to their own parents... but remember, they don't know what they're doing. And when they came to, the first thing they usually see is everyone they knew or loved, DEAD, killed by his/her own hands. S/he has so much remorse that ends up commiting suicide.

QUVAS: I can understand that... Like when I lost my son. But instead of remorse, I felt a rage that I could even feel it consuming me...
Su.: Talking about anger, remember when I said that it was one of the factors to the Rubred Form? Well, it's the same for the Viper, but a very extreme anger. An anger like you felt, Quvas, but, at least, 1000 times bigger.

SAVRIN: OK, but why are you telling us all this?
SUSIE: 'Cuz the Viper Form was the thing that almost led our people to extinction...
JACKIE: WHAT? But how...!?
SUSIE: I'll continue with the story...

'After that day at the lake, we agreed to be only friends, although we had our little relapses. But after a month, we were just like before, just good friends. Until 'that' day... John was searching for a book at our library(it wasn't very big), when he found a book, forgotten by ages... it explains all I just told y'all, about our transformations, and everything else... except for one thing. It described the most powerful of the Chosen Ones. It only had one information, the most powerful should have DRAGON WINGS...'

DIANE: Dragon wings?

'This person must have something to differentiate him/er from the others. When he read it, he was startled, 'cause the day before, when he was curious about his wings, he couldn't understand why he had wings different from ours, but then he found out. Suddenly, the shaman came and saw him, reading the book.

SHAMAN: WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH IT?!

Scared by the shaman's yell, John throwed the book away. A piece of paper fell from the book, out of the shaman's poor sight. John managed to grab it before he noticed.

JOHN: I, I was looking for a book, then...
SHAMAN: You should not have read that book, Prince! Now, get out!
JOHN: Hey, wait a...
SHAMAN: OUT!!!

He never talked with John like that, so he left. When he was deep in the forest, he grabbed the piece of paper from his pocket. It was written: "This boy is the next. He'll be the next ruler for sure. Not only that; he'll be my way to the throne. I'll make him transform to the 'damned form', so he'll kill the Chief and his wife, and I'll make him believe that it was his fault, and make him commit suicide, and then I'll be the next ruler..."... the rest was illegible. John felt such an anger that his only thoughs were... 'KILL THE TRAITOR!'. He made his wings appear and flew all the way to the tribe like a lightning. When he arrived at the Chief's house, the shaman was there, and also his parents.

SHAMAN: See, my lords? Behold our destruction! Behold our worst foe!JOHN: WHAT?! WHAT ARE YA TALKING ABOUT?! Mom, Dad, lemme tell y'all the truth!
KING: Sorry, son. But we can see that the shaman was right... I guess we have no choice
JOHN: W,w,what are y'all talking about?
QUEEN: ...We made an agreement with the shaman... if what he said was true, you would have to be sacrificed...
JOHN: WHAT THE F*** YOU JUST SAID?!
SHAMAN: See, my lords? There's your proof! He's starting to loose control! We must get rid of him right now!
JOHN: WHY YOU!...
SHAMAN: Guards!
JOHN: WHAT THE...? LEMME GO!!!
QUEEN: Sorry, my son, but it's the best for the tribe. You understand, don't you?
JOHN: Sure I do. The first thing that I learned was to sacrifice myself for the sake of the tribe... but at least lemme tell my side of the story!
SHAMAN: Don't listen to him! He'll poison your minds with lies and blasphemies. GUARDS! TAKE HIM AWAY!
JOHN: NO! WAIT! MOM, DAD, PLEASE, LISTEN TO ME!!!!
KING: ...sorry, son, but he have no choice...

He saw their eyes full of tears, knowing they weren't hiding anything. But right before he was taken out of the Chief's house, he saw the shaman's eyes, full with evil and sarcasm, and the shaman said in John's mind:

SHAMAN: "...I fooled them... You were the first; they'll be the next...".

Obviously, he did that to make John mad. And it worked. With a blast of energy and fury, he throwed the guards away, and was involved by a hurricane of lightning. When it settled down, the VIPER FORM appeared in front of their eyes.

SHAMAN: AHA! Now it's my chance! I command you to kill these in front of you!
KING and QUEEN: WHAT?! YOU BETRAYED US!
SHAMAN: You bet! Now, kill them! NOW!... What's the matter? You should be under my control!

*KKKRRRAAAACCCKKKK*...

SHAMAN: AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRCCCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!!

...The shaman disappeared, leaving only dust.

QUEEN: Oh, my son. I'm sorry!! We didn't believe you before! Can you forgive us?!
JOHN: Of course I can... AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!KING: What's wrong, son?!

That was the last thing he can remember. I was fishing and heading back to the village, when I saw black smoke coming from the village. I could feel something wasn't right. Then, I felt anxious. I ran to the village, just to find two bodies. I stood there for a while... I couldn't open the front door, but I took a big breath and opened the door... the horror, the horror... bodies, blood, destruction... while I was walking to my house, I couldn't hold my tears just to think what was inside my house. Just the obvious... my parents... dead... I was so mad that I transformed to Rubred Form for the very first time, and I checked all the houses, one by one, but I only found out death. I left the Chief's house for the last. I entered there... our beloved king was dead, and his wife as well. I couldn't see the shaman anywhere, but I found John. He was covered with blood, so I thought he was dead, like the rest of the tribe. But he was breathing barely.

SUSIE: John, please, wake up!
JOHN: Oooouuuhhhh... what happened?
SUSIE: I should make you this question! Who did all this?

He look around and entered in despair.

JOHN: OH GOD!! NO!!! WHAT HAVE I DONE??!!
SUSIE: WHAT?! YOU DID ALL THIS?!

He looked at me and ran away.

SUSIE: John, wait! What's wrong?!

Before I started chasing him, I spotted a piece of paper. It was red 'cause of the bloodbath, but I could read it...

SUSIE: !!! The 'damn form'??!!

Or the 'viper form'. That what happened. He transformed to the Viper Form and killed everyone! At first, all I wanted was hunt and destroy him!... but then, I remembered a conversation between the Chief and my father

"...So, Chief, you think John is the powerful one?/ I don't know, the only thing I can do is hope what the shaman told me won't occur.../ You mean... the VIPER FORM?!..."

The Chief explained to my father what I've already told y'all. Then, my fury disappeared. Now, I should find John before he kill himself... I didn't need to seek a lot. He was at the front door, seating and thoughtful, with guilty eyes on his face...

SUSIE: ...Hey, John...

That was all I could say.

JOHN: ......

I took silence as an answer.

SUSIE: Look, I found the letter. I know it wasn't your fault...
JOHN: How can you be say that!?

He looked me with a serious look...

JOHN: I KILLED THEM, SUSIE! With my own hands! These same hands that helped them, played with them; these same hands that even caressed you! And you said it wasn't MY FAULT?!

*smack!*

SUSIE: STOP IT, ALREADY!!! Look, it wasn't your fault! The shaman fooled your parents! Turned them against you, and was planning to take the throne to himself, and even worse, wanted to make you feel guilty, like what you're doing right now!!! Keep blaiming yourself, and it's a victory to the traitor! Now, PUT YOURSELF TOGETHER BEFORE I'LL DO IT!!!!!!!

He was surprised. He never saw me lost my temper like that... and neither did I!

JOHN: ..... You're right, Sue. That's exactly what he wanted... I won't let him win!
SUSIE: Now, that's the good ol' John I know!!!
JOHN: ...But, what are we gonna do now?

Sure it wasn't an easy question to answer... but he had the right answer...

JOHN: ... I know. Let's bury them.
SUSIE: ?
JOHN: Let's give them a decent funeral. That's all we can do for them, right now...
SUSIE: OK...

We carried the bodies to an open field, right next to the tribe, dug holes, put each one of them in each hole and covered them.

JOHN: Let's pray for them.

We lowered our heads and made a silent pray. I looked at John, and I figured out why he wanted to make a pray. He wanted to do this, not only for the dead, but also to disguise his cry. That was John, alright. Never cried, or at least, never let anyone notice when he did it. I left him alone and continued with my praying. I couldn't hold my tears, either. We knew each one of them. From the youngest fox to the oldest ferret. After we finished, he said:

JOHN: Let's go, there's nothing here for us.
SUSIE: What are you talking about? We can start a new life together...
JOHN: ... but not here.

...I could see why he wanted to leave the village. I looked around and all I could see was the people lying on the ground, without moving. No matter how much I wanted to get that picture outta my mind, I just couldn't! So, I agreed with him, and we left the village. Our life, our past and our family behind. Everything now are just memories... memories that we won't forget. NEVER...

(crying sounds)

SAVRIN: Come on, girls, stop crying...
THE GIRLS: We're not crying.
QUVAS: So, who...
ABBIE and ZEPHYR: ...Just a thing in our eyes!
DIANE: Oh, God!...
SAVRIN: But I still don't get it! What's John's plan anyways?
JACKIE: I don't know. He's like this, comes with a plan from nowhere and we only understand it when he's done with it!
CHRIS: Another thing I don't understand is, why he wanted you to 'update' us about you guys?
SUSIE: I don't know...
SAVRIN: Well, maybe he.....! I KNOW!!!
ZEPHYR: Whoa, There! You know what?
SAVRIN: HIS...(whispering)... his plan. I figured out his plan!
PAT: Why are you whispering?
SAVRIN: 'Cause of the guard!
PAT: Oh, I forgot! Anyways, spit it out, man!
SAVRIN: I bet he's planning to transform to the VIPER FORM!
EVERYONE:???!!!!

EVERYONE: ...the Viper Form?
SAVRIN: The Viper Form.
PAT: But why would he wanna do that?! Susie already told us what happened. If I was him, the last thing I would do is even think about this Viper thing...
SUSIE: ...but you're not John.
PAT: AND DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT?!
SUSIE: What I'm saying is, he's gonna face his past...
JACKIE: What'd ya say? Face his past?
SUSIE: Yeah, he has this saying: "NEVER FORGET YOUR MISTAKES FROM THE PAST.".
QUVAS: So, he's gonna transform again to the Viper Form to get us out of here, even after what happened?
JACKIE: ...probably. But how? We cannot use our powers here, and neither the furmentials.
ABBIE: Maybe Yuira casted a spell that unables any kind of magic, except hers and Inavara's.
ZEPHYR: DAMN HER AND MY BROTHER!!! So, this detail may stop John, huh?
SUSIE: No, it won't, 'cus the Viper Form is the only form that can resist any kind of spell.
DIANE: Even if the spell was already launched?
SUSIE: He won't feel any difference.
ZEPHYR: Alright! We got a chance to kick my brother's butt!
SAVRIN: Hold yourself, Zephyr.
ZEPHYR: Why? Don't you see? When John transforms to the Viper thing, he'll make porkchops of him and Yuira, and then their hole army, and then...
SAVRIN: ...and then us all.
QUVAS: He's right! As far as I know, when on Viper Form, John looses all the control, like something else controls his body and mind!
PAT: Got that right, old fella. When he's done with everyone, including us, this place will go down, and then... I don't even wanna think what could happen after.
ZEPHYR: *gulp*. Well, looks like things are against us again, huh?
JACKIE: Not exactly.
ZEPHYR: It's just not my day, is it?
JACKIE: He'll finish all the bad guys, if ya wanna see the bright side of the thing.
ZEPHYR: I don't wanna see the bright side of anything! I wanna see the daylight again! I wanna see the tomorrow! I wanna die old, not young! I wanna...

*smack*

ABBIE: Get a grip on yourself, Zephyr!!! It won't do anything good if you start losing it now!! We must stay cool and think on something, so, STAY CALM, DAMIT!!!
GUARD: zzzzzz... um?...oh...grumble...
QUVAS: !!! He's waking up!
ABBIE: Hurry! Call him, Di!
DIANE: Are you insane?!
ABBIE: JUST DO IT!!
DIANE: Alright, alright! Guard! GUARD!!
GUARD: Umph... whaddya want?
DIANE: Uh, well, I...
ABBIE: OOOUUUHHH, MY STOMACH IS HURTING!!! OOUUHHHHH!!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!!!
GUARD: What the...?
DIANE: Oh, yes! It's my brother! I don't know what's wrong with him! Help him or he'll die! PLEASE!!!
GUARD: Me, help him?! Why should I? Those two want you guys dead, anyways!
CHRIS: Yeah, but they'd prefer to do it with their own hands. If they find him dead, they'll be SOOO disappointed with ya that you'll be in his place...
GUARD: ... GET OUTTA THE WAY!!!

(opening the door cell...)

GUARD: Hey, fur! Are you OK?
ABBIE: ... I AM NOW!!!
GUARD: WHAT A...?

*paf, kick, throw*

ABBIE: That was easy...
SUSIE: ...niiiiiiice.
ABBIE: Thanks. Now, shall we go?
SUSIE: Alright, we must get to the place where those three are!
ZEPHYR: Fine, I'll take the lead!
EVERYONE: OH NO, YA DON'T!
ZEPHYR: Fine, Fine! Geez!
QUVAS: One of you guys! You have better sense of smell than us, so lead our path to John!
JACKIE: OK! Susie, you were the chosen. You know John's smell better than anyone here.
SUSIE: Hey, what's that supposed to mean?
EVERYONE: JUST DO IT!!!!!!
SUSIE: Alright! *sniff, sniff* Let's take this corridor...

At a chamber, somewhere in the castle...

JOHN: "...Oh, Lord! Stuck in Talla'don again..."
YUIRA and INAVARA: QUIET, ALREADY!!!
JOHN: Come on! I don't sing that bad!
INAVARA: Please, lemme kill him with my sword!
YUIRA: No, Inavara. This table was created for torture. We needed someone to test it, and we got an healthy one! We got lucky!
JOHN: Of course not!
YUIRA: What? Why not?
JOHN: 'Cause if ya really got lucky, the person who would be here should be uglier than ya... although it's pretty difficult to find someone uglier that ya...
YUIRA: WHY YOU!!!!!!
JOHN: I wonder who would be uglier than ya... Of course! The good ol' Whitey here! Godamn, Inny!! How can ya be so DAMN ugly?!
INAVARA: THAT'S IT!!! HE'LL DIE RIGHT NOW!!!
YUIRA: Hold yourself, Inavara!!
INAVARA: DON'T GIVE ORDERS TO ME, YOU INSIGNIFICANT WEASEL!
YUIRA: HOW DARE YOU??!!
JOHN: Heheheheheh. Fight, my lil' puppets. Fight!...
INAVARA: No, no, no, wait. You see? He was trying to make us fight.
YUIRA: Yeah, and we almost fell for that!
JOHN: Aawwww, y'all spoiled my fun!
YUIRA: Quiet, you! This will make you stay shut!
JOHN: Argh, mmunnph...
INAVARA: OK, let's start.

(A circle of wood comes from the ceiling, with sharpen tools of steel attached on it)

JOHN: *gulp*
YUIRA: Feelin' frightened, garbage? You should be! Those instruments were made to make any kind of pain, imaginable and unimaginable.
INAVARA: Yes, they can be used like that, or can be warmed up. Very versatile, don't you think?
JOHN: .......
INAVARA(talking next to John's ear): Oh, what's wrong? A cat just ate your tongue? Well, if your tongue is still there, don't worry. It won't be there for too long...
YUIRA: Shall we start?
INAVARA: Sure. Ladies, first.
YUIRA: Thank you... let's start with that big dirty tongue of yours...

After getting out of their cell, due to Abbie's quick thoughts, the furs, the furmentials and the Chosen Ones are trying to met John, Yuira and Inavara, using Susie's fine sense of smell. But there's one thing on their way:

SUSIE: *sniff, sniff* phew!
QUVAS: How's the smell? Good?
SUSIE: Funky!

See?...

CHRIS: Are you sure where you're going?
SUSIE: Of course! But I'm loosing the track. His smell is getting weaker and weaker...
ZEPHYR: So, try to smell carefully. I don't wanna be pickled again.
DIANE: Neither do we, Zephyr.
ZEPHYR: Oh, quiet!
EVERYONE: SSSSHHH!!!!
ZEPHYR: What?!
EVERYONE: SSSHHH!!!
ZEPHYR(whispering): ...what?
PATRÍCIA: There might be guards everywhere. We must stay as quiet as we...

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

ABBIE: Wa...wa...WHAT WAS THAT?!!!
JACKELINE: A scream, filled with pain.
CHRIS: Could it be John?
SAVRIN: We can't be sure...

YOU BIG OL' BASTARDS! I'LL TURN Y'ALL INTO JERKBEEFS! OUCH! GODAMIT!!! DON'T EVEN THINK OF PUTTING THIS ON... MMMMPH!

SAVRIN: On the other hand...
ABBIE: My God, they're torturing him!
JACKELINE: C'mon, Susie, find him quickly!!!
SUSIE: Don't have to say it twice! *sniff, sniff* Over here! We're getting closer...
ZEPHYR: HAHA! I wanna see the guard's face right now!
GUARD: Well, turn around, a**hole!
SAVRIN: You and your big mouth!
GUARD: Give up, or my men will kill ya!
SAVRIN: WE WON'T GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT!!!
ZEPHYR: WHAT?! Are you insane? Guys, tell him to...
EVERYONE: COME ON, WEASELS!!! SHOW US YOUR BEST ATTACKS!!!
ZEPHYR: Why I saved them, anyway?
GUARD: FINE! MEN, ATTACK!!!!!
ARMY: EEEEEEEIIIIIAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!
QUVAS: STAY PUT!

Meanwhile, at the Torture Chamber:

JOHN: ARF, ARF. Niergh!
INAVARA: Awww, what's wrong? Little fox is tired? Well, our fun isn't over yet! This is just the beginning...

*fight sounds*

JOHN: !!!
YUIRA: Ah, concerned about your little pals? Don't worry. They'll have a quick death. You should be happy for them. At least, they won't have the kind of death that is reserved for you. Although I'm not so sure about killing you.
INAVARA: WHAT?! But you just said...
YUIRA: I KNOW what I said! But he has such a pretty face and a well built body. Maybe I can turn him as my slave...prrr.
JOHN: mmph, mmph!
INAVARA: Oh, wanna say something? Lemme take this forceps off your muzzle.
JOHN: ARCH! I said I'd rather die in acid to be aside ya!
YUIRA: HUMPH! Still a moron! But I won't kill you without doing THIS!
JOHN: Waddya mean...

*kiss*

JOHN: MMMMMMMMMMPPPHHHH, IRCK! Ya had to use your tongue?!
YUIRA: Didn't like it? I personally liked it.
INAVARA: ...only you did.
YUIRA: Shut up and lets continue!

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! UUUUUUUUURRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!! OOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!

INAVARA: Oh, boy, I LOVE to hear this!
YUIRA: Sounds like music to my ears. And I know it also sounds like it to the garbage, here.
JOHN: "Yeah. I'll hear something like it from y'all VERY soon!... if I make it 'till there, that is..."

Not so far away from there:

SAVRIN: HA! Y'all liked that?!
ABBIE: What do you have to say, now?
GUARD: ......RETREAT!!!
DIANE: HAHA! Look how fast they run!
CHRIS: Like scared lil' ol' puppets!
PATRÍCIA: Run, weasels, run! HAHA!
ZEPHYR: HAHAH! I could use some exercise!
QUVAS: Come on, people! Let's find John!
DIANE: Wait! What are we gonna do when we find him, IF we find him? If Inny and the ugly are with them, we'll get into trouble, for sure!
JACKELINE: Yeah. Neither we nor the furmentials can use our powers. If we confront those two directly...
SUSIE: I have something on my mind right now. If what Savrin said was right, John'll transform to his Viper Form. If he do that, we'll have big troubles! So, what we must do is warn Inny and Yuira about John's situation.
ZEPHYR: Wait, wait, wait! Lemme see if I got the picture: first, we have to find John. If we find him with Yuira and my brother, we must warn those two about him and, if we got lucky, get the Hell outta here with John and ALL THIS without fighting Yuira and Whitey?
SUSIE: That's the ticket.
ZEPHYR: ... well, at least it's a plan! Come on, Susie! Let's find him!
SUSIE: Uuuhhhh, OK. *sniff, sniff* He's close!

Back at the Torture Chamber:

INAVARA: Well, you sure ARE a very strong fox! I'm impressed. Bravo!
YUIRA: I guess it's time for an encour!
JOHN: WHAT THE HELL Y'ALL WANT, ANYWAY??!!!
YUIRA: Oh, nothing so complicated. We just want to torture you as many ways as we can!
INAVARA: Talking about torture, didn't those tatoos hurt when you ahve them made?
JOHN: These're not tatoos, ya yutz! These are my patterns! I was born with them!
INAVARA: Born with them? HA! Like I would fell for that!
YUIRA: Wait, Inavara. I think I know his race. Aren't you a CHOSEN ONE?
JOHN: WE HAVE A WINNER!!!... *cough*
YUIRA: I knew it! Man, you guys are SOOO boring! Acting all nice and benevolent. But y'know something? To me, The Chosen Ones are nothing! They're a big pile of s***!
JOHN: TAKE IT BACK, NOW!!! OR YA'LL PAY FOR THAT!!!! AND IT GOES FOR YOU TOO, INAVARA!!!!
INAVARA: Oooohhhh, little foxy got mad! How scaaaary!
YUIRA: Wanna know something else?
SUSIE: Oh, God! He's getting mad every second. Hurry!
YUIRA: I'm glad your people are dead now.
JOHN: GGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
YUIRA: Wanna know something else?
SUSIE: Oh, Lord, lemme get there in time!
SAVRIN: Wait for us, Susie!
YUIRA: The person or thing that killed them...
SUSIE: NO!
YUIRA: ...must be...
SUSIE: STOP!
QUVAS: DAMIT!
YUIRA: ...a very...
SUSIE: JOHN!
INAVARA: What a...?
YUIRA: ...nice...
SUSIE: YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE!
INAVARA: STOP RIGHT THERE!
YUIRA: ...FOX!
JOHN: GGGGGGRRRRRR......................

...Silence..........

DIANE: Uh, John?
JOHN: ..........AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EVERYONE: WHOA!!!!

A big blast of energy destroys the Torture Table, launchs Inavara an Yuira away and makes the others fall. John, now free from his cuffs,
is envolved by a hurricane of lightning and is levitating in the air. A view that Susie remember pretty well.

SUSIE: No! We're too late! Not again, Lord!
ZEPHYR: WHITEY, you dumba**! Of all the screw ups you did, that's the biggest!!!
INAVARA: What're you talking about, Zephy?

All of a sudden, Inavara is stricked by a lightning.

INAVARA: AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!
PATRÍCIA: WHOA! GODAMIT!

He falls, unconcious and hurted badly. Another lightning ties Inavara and throws him through of a window. He disappeared in the sky...

CHRIS: That's what I call a pitch!!
ZEPHYR: HAHAHAHA! He deserved it!
SAVRIN: But why he did it to Inny? I though he wanna give him the same he made with him.
SUSIE: Maybe before, but now his main target must be...

The hurricane of electricity suddenly stops, revealing the most fearsome form of a Chosen One: THE VIPER FORM.

QUVAS: ...my God...
SAVRIN: Dragon wings, blood-red patterns that goes to his wings, angry look, an stronger body, and... his eyes are... mallow?
SUSIE: That's Viper Form, for sure!

John only looks at nothing, until Yuira wakes up.

YUIRA: Ouuhhh... ! WHO THE...?
JOHN: ...Yuira...
YUIRA: You're the garbage who was...
JOHN: ...Yuira...
ABBIE: I guess he's trying to say something.
JOHN: ...will...
EVERYONE: ...?
JOHN: .......DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EVERYONE: !!!!!!"

JOHN: ...Yuira...will...die...
YUIRA: .............

She's speechless, wondering what's going to happen with her...

QUVAS: Let's get out of here, now!
JACKIE: Wait, we can't leave John! We must...
ZEPHYR: ...we must do what Quvas said, GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!!!
CHRIS: We are not going anywhere without John!
ZEPHYR: Really? So where's he? The only thing I'm seeing is a DEMON FROM HELL!!!
JOHN: SHUT UP!!!!!!

*zaapppp* *buuumm*

DIANE: OH, DAMIT!!!
ZEPHYR: He almost hitted me!
JOHN: It doesn't involves you... This is between me and the weasel, so, DON"T INTERFERE!!!
ABBIE: We should do what he says... It won't be any good making him more pissed off than he already is.
PAT: I guess you're right... but still, we must do something!
SAVRIN: Come on, Susie! Think! You know him well!
SUSIE: Uh, well, I...
JOHN: I said SHUT UP!!!

*krraaaccckkk*

A lightning bolt hits Susie's back.

SUSIE: AAAAAHHHH!!!!
DIANE: Susie!
CHRIS: WHY YOU, YOU BASTARD!!!

Chris tried to attack John, but it was useless. He created a force wall, practically unbreakable...

CHRIS: DAMN!! John, fight agaisnt the Viper! Do it!
SUSIE: Urgh, no...Chris...
CHRIS: Susie! You're OK?
SUSIE: I'll...I'll be fine. But you guys must transform to Rubred Form.
JACKIE: What? But why? We can't break this wall...
SUSIE: Just do it! *cough* Trust me...
JACKIE: ...OK. Chris, Pat...
CHRIS and PAT: We're ready.
JACKIE: Wait! Lemme heal you first, Sue.
SUSIE: *cough* OK...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the wall, John and Yuira are looking eachother...

JOHN: So, Yuira. You still want to torture me? To do it, you just have to defeat me... but I think it's going to be pretty boring, since you're only a little scared puppie...
YUIRA: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY??!!!
JOHN: You heard me. In fact, here's a suggestion; don't waste your magic to attack me. You better use it to yourself...
YUIRA: What do you mean?
JOHN: I mean, use it to kill yourself.
YUIRA: What?!
JOHN: Yes, so you can have a quick death... and save yourself from humiliation...
YUIRA: SHUT UP! SHUT UP!!!

She uses her powder on him...

JOHN: HMPH! You're attacking me with some curry powder?! How shameful!

He sucks the powder and swollows it...

YUIRA: IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!
JOHN: *gulp* No, yummy...heheheh.
YUIRA: DON'T YOU LAUGH AT ME!!!

Then, she uses her magic to attack John. She does it repeatedly, but, again, useless...

JOHN: And now you use fireworks?! Tch, I was expecting a good fight, but I guess I'll have to finish with you, now!
YUIRA: I'm *pant* not defeated!

She unleashes her last weapon; the hypnosis...

YUIRA: Look at me, and relax. Soon, you'll be under my control...

Once again, useless. While saying the words, John vanishes, leaving no sign...

YUIRA: Huh? Where are you, garbage?!
JOHN: Behind you, tramp!!!
YUIRA: What a...

*tap*

He just pushed her and, like a cannon ball, she flew directly to a wall, hitting it hard...

*CRASH!*

YUIRA: Uhhhhrgh...
JOHN: Hmph, and I only 'caressed' you... What a disappointment! Well, I'll give you two options; give up and lemme kill you fast, or resist and have a SLOOOOWWWW death...
YUIRA: I'm Yuira, queen of the Tai'far, and I won't be...
JOHN: OH, CUT THE CRAP, B***!!! You're not queen anywhere!!! You just stoled the throne!! And from your own mother!! HOW DARE YOU CALL YOURSELF A QUEEN???? You're nothing but a big show-off! Who do you think you're fooling? Well, not me! You didn't kill your mother, she wanted it!!
YUIRA: Say what?!
JOHN: That's right! She wanted to be killed by you, because she knew that, after killing her, you'd get over confident, and sooner or later, you'd either succeed, or fail miserably... Guess what? YOU FAILED BIG TIME!!!!!!!
YUIRA: ....

She just stands there, her eyes points to nowhere, whispering something...

YUIRA: Why, mother... why, mother... why...?
JOHN: Still wondering, huh? Well, there's a way to get some answers...

John gets to Yuira in no time, and grabs her by the neck...

YUIRA: ...huk!...
JOHN: Know what I meant? I wonder if you have red blood...
YUIRA: Do it... I don't care, anymore... *sob*
JOHN: So, you're finally crying, huh? These tears feel like acid, don't they? This is the result of years of mistreatments, misery and betrayals. You're releasing all this on these tears... But it's not enough for making me change my mind about killing you... So, you want it fast or slow?
YUIRA: I don't care... Just do it...
JOHN: Fine, it'll be my way... Let the fun begin.

With a quick move, he throws Yuira up to the ceiling, but he gets there before her and kicks Yuira towards to the ground, making her lands violently. Pieces of old bricks are spreaded everywhere and a cloud of dust rises, covering Yuira, who's lying on the ground. John grabs her by the hair, lifting her just a few inches above the floor, like a dool...

JOHN: This is getting boring... But I'll play with you a little more...

In the iddle of the dust, Yuira is getting a 'massage'. A VERY painful one...

ABBIE: Cover your eyes, Di. He's not John, for sure.
SAVRIN: I can't take this, anymore! We must do something!!
SUSIE: There's a way... If he uses magic, the wall will disappear.
ZEPHYR: But he can't be that stupid, can he?
JOHN: Now, for the grand finale... some magic!
ZEPHYR: Nevermind...
SUSIE: It's our chance! Are you ready, guys?
JACKIE, CHRIS and PAT: Yeah!
SUSIE: Stay put, folks! Savrin, you and the others stay here and cover yourselves! This'll be a little dangerous...
SAVRIN: You can count on me!
SUSIE: OK. We're gonna attack in any time...

John concentrates some energy on his right hand, holding Yuira with the other...

QUVAS: The wall disappeared!
SUSIE: NOOOOWWWW!!!!!!!

The four Chosen Ones, now on Rubred Form, charge against John. He notices it, drops Yuira and stares at the other four...

JOHN: DAMN! How could I made such a stupid mistake?! Oh, well, let's fight!!!

A fight begins, but only sparkles are visible.

ZEPHYR: They're fighting so fast that I can't follow them!
QUVAS: Yeah, this's magnificent! I never saw a fight like that!
ABBIE: But you can't even see the fight!

*zing*

DIANE: WHOA!! That was a close call!
SAVRIN: They're using magic! That's why Susie told us to cover ourselves! Well, let's do it...

Althought the Chosen are using their maximum powers, they're losing the fight...

JOHN: It's useless! As long as I'm at Viper Form, you'll never defeat me!
JACKIE: Sorry, John!

In a fraction of second, she flashes her hands, bliding John for a while...

JOHN: AAARGH!!! MY EYES!!!
JACKIE: NOW!!!

Chris appears behind John and kicks his nape. John falls unconscious, slowly regressing to his SP Form...

PAT: Whoa!

She flews towards John and grabs him before he hitted the floor.

PAT: Got ya!
QUVAS: Lie him down here!
DIANE: John, are you OK? Wake up!
SUSIE: He won't wake up so soon. Chris knocked him real good.
CHRIS: Oh, I stopped him and all I get is 'shame, shame on you'?! Thanks a lot!
SUSIE: I didn't say that!
SAVRIN: Wait, what about Yuira?
YUIRA: ......
JACKIE: She's pretty bad! I'll check her out...
DIANE: No, wait! Don't!
JACKIE: ...You OK?
YUIRA: .... mmmmmmm, uuuuuuuu....
JACKIE: You can't even talk... hold it... this won't hurt ya...

She makes her hands glows and touches Yuira. She starts to glow, and in a few seconds, Yuira is healed...

YUIRA: ...? I'm... alive?
JACKIE: Yep! And without scratches...
YUIRA: I don't understand...Why you helped me? I tortured your friend and I was about to do the same with you!
JACKIE: I don't care what you are! *whispering* Look, I'm not underminding ya, but, you may be evil, and you are, but that doesn't stops me from helping ya. It's my nature, I guess...
YUIRA: ....... thank you.......
JACKIE: Don't mention it. Well, I shouldn't expect anything from you, now...
YUIRA: ...Go through that passage. It doesn't have any of my men. It leads directly to the forest... but from now on, don't expect anything else like this from me!
JACKIE: Well, guess I was wrong... Thanks... And I won't expect anything, from now on... C'mon, guys. Let's go...
ABBIE: What?! Just like that?
JACKIE: Yep. Savrin, help me with John, will ya?
SAVRIN: Huh? OH, OK!
JACKIE: Here, put his arm over yer shoulders...
SAVRIN: ARF! He's heavy for a fox!
QUVAS: Are you sure we can trust Yuira?
JACKIE: Yeah... for now. So, let's take the chance, shall we?
ZEPHYR: Fine... but after we're outta here, you and Whitey'll gonna get some!!
PAT(pulling Zephyr's ear): Cut it out, man...
ZEPHYR: Ouch, ow, let go my ear!

In the woods...

ABBIE: I still don't know why Yuira let us go that easely.
PAT: Maybe she just wanted to return the favor Jackie did... in fact, I bet that was the first time she helped someone in her life.
DIANE: Now, that was weird... Anyways, what about John? Is he really OK?
QUVAS: He's OK. But he won't wake up so soon... He looks very peaceful.
CHRIS: Yeah, pretty different than before, huh?
SAVRIN: I wonder what's he dreaming, now?

CHRIS: *pant, pant* Please, let's have some rest! I can't walk anymore...
SUSIE: Me must stay away as much as we can from the castle. Let's walk for 5 more minutes, OK?
SAVRIN: Yeah, it's easy for you to say! You're not carring an unconscious fox, who's pretty heavy, by the way!
PAT: Oh, come on, Sav! He's not that heavy! You're a strong... uh... firewolf, or something...
QUVAS: He's a firewolf, a hybrid firewolf...
SAVRIN: SHUT UP!!!
SUSIE: Chill out, Savrin! Don't mind her, that's just her way...
PAT: What's that supposed to mean?
SUSIE: Well, I...?... Why y'all are so distant?
ABBIE, ZEPHYR, DIANE: Oh, for no reason!...
QUVAS: Don't worry, guys. John is unconscious, and, if I get this straight, he won't transform to Viper Form again.
SUSIE: You're right, Chief. He did loose his temper many times before, but he transformed just two times, at the Rindt Tribe and at the castle.
ABBIE: Maybe so, but I won't take the risk.
CHRIS: Oh, spare me! He won't wake up and rip off your heads, for God's sake!
SAVRIN: Talking about John, he's sleeping well... he's even snoring.
JACKIE: Maybe he's having a nice dream...

Well, let's find out!

JOHN: Ooooohhhhhh, my aching head! Look, folks, I'm sorry about...eh? Where's everybody? And why is so bright in here?
?(putting his/her hand on John's shoulder): I can answer that...
JOHN: !!!! HIYA!!!

*throw!* *bak!*

?: Hey! AAAHHH!!!
JOHN: ??? A female fur?! Oh, sorry, ma'am! I thought it was...
?: ...Yuira, right? Ouchie!
JOHN: Yeah, and... Wait a sec! How'd ya know about Yuira?
?: I saw your fight... I can't believe you were capable of that!
JOHN: Hey, were ya spying us?!
?: Oh, no! I saw it from here!
JOHN: Here? Oh, by the way, where're we?
?: We're inside Savrin's sword.
JOHN: SAY WHAT???!!!!
?: We're inside Savrin's sword! I know, it's hard to believe, but it's true. Oh, by the way, my name's **********.
JOHN: YER MAMA!!!
?: Oh, no! I'm not swearing you! That really is my name.
JOHN: Really?! I'm sorry! We didn't started well... Nice to meet ya...uh...What's yer name, again?
?: Why don't you call me by my other name?
JOHN: Oh, OK!.......What's yer other name?
KIRA: It's Kira.
JOHN: Ah, more easier! Nice to meet ya, Kira. I'm ...
KIRA: ...John Squall Flaherty, Chosen of Lighting and Thunder, currently dating Jackie Alves; you carry a sword named Mustang, but you prefer to use your own fists; heir of the Rindt Tribe's throne; had a crush on Susie Flanagan, but now you're just friends(very good friends); you're the most powerful of the Chosen Ones, but you neither show it, nor is proud of it; and you're the only who ever transformed to Viper Form, however it costed your tribe.
JOHN: ...Ya sure ya ain't spying me?
KIRA: I'm not! It's just that I saw Susie explain your past... I cried a lot while hearing it...
JOHN: I know it's sad, but it happened. And it can't be changed, can it?
KIRA: I guess you're right... but I don't understand how you can talk about it so calmly!
JOHN: Maybe it's me. I have this saying, it's something like that: 'Never...'
JOHN and KIRA: '...forget your mistakes...'
KIRA: '...from the past.' That's a nice saying.
JOHN: I still don't get how ya know all this?
KIRA: That's because I'm a spirit.
JOHN: Oh, OK. That explains everything. Heheh, ya a spirit...........YA A SPIRIT????
KIRA: Yeah, and you're also a spirit.
JOHN : SAY WHAT??? I AIN'T NO FREAKING SPIRIT!!!! I AIN'T DEAD!!!!!
KIRA: Wait, wait, wait! Ya ain't, I MEAN, you're not dead! You're just in the Spiritual World. Consequently, you're in Sipirit Form.
JOHN: So, I ain't dead, but now I'm a spirit.
KIRA: That's the ticket.
JOHN: That's something ya never see everyday.
KIRA: Hahah, that's true! You sure are something, Johnny.
JOHN: I am?
KIRA: Yeah. No matter how bad is the situation, you still try to keep up the good mood, but not because of the Viper Form, you always want to keep everyone around you with good mood.
JOHN: Maybe so, but it's hard sometimes...
KIRA: Awww, don't be sad... Hey, I know a great remedy for depression.
JOHN: What's it?
KIRA: A GOOD TICKLES SESSION!!!
JOHN: EH?? HAHAHAHAH!! NO, NOT AGAIN!!! HAHAHAHAH!!! ALRIGHT, YA ASKED FOR IT!!! HAHAHAHAH! COUNTERATTACK!!!
KIRA: HAHAHAH!! NO, NOT THE RIBS!!! HAHAHAHAH!

In the real world:

CHRIS: ARGH!! Oh, man! Sitting never felt so good! Now, lemme take off my shoes... Umph! Ahhh, some fresh air...
EVERYONE: ARGH! OH, GROSS! I CAN'T BREATH! PUT IT BACK!
CHRIS: OK, OK!! Geez!
SAVRIN: Oh, my back! So, this's how an hernia feels?
PAT: Oh, quit whining! I'll fix your back!
SAVRIN: No, wait! Not like that! Get your knee off my back!

*KRAACK!*

SAVRIN: OOUUUUUUCH!!!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!
ZEPHYR: Well, you asked for it.
SUSIE: Please, you guys! Stop it! I'm concerned about John.
QUVAS: Why are you worried about him? He's only unconscious, his head is OK, and we're safe, now.
ABBIE: Don't worry about him too much. Besides, he looks so peaceful, like nothing happened.
SUSIE: You're right, guys. Maybe I shouldn't worry too much.
DIANE: We walked for 45 minutes. When is he going to wake up?
JACKIE: I don't know. I guess he'll wake up today, tomorrow, next month, who knows?
SAVRIN: Well, I want he up as fast as possible, 'cause I don't wanna carry him for too long!
ZEPHYR: Maybe ya have to, Savy boy. By his look, probably he won't wake up so early...
SAVRIN: Damn! What's he dreaming, anyways?!

Back to Savrin's sword:

JOHN and KIRA: HAHAHAHAHA!!! TRUCE!!!
KIRA: PHEW!! I...couldn't...take it...anymore!
JOHN: Hahah.... Oh, man! I could use a good ol' laugh... Now, I'm feeling better.
KIRA: I'm happy you're happy, Johnny!
JOHN: And I'm happy ya feeling better, too, Kira...
KIRA: Me, feeling better?
JOHN: Don't try to hide it. I know ya saw yer lover on me...
KIRA: !!!
JOHN: I may look stupid, but I ain't... THAT stupid. I could feel yer heart, and ya saw yer lover on me... But ya commited the worst thing a spirit could do; fall in love with a mortal. That's why ya here... that was yer punishment.
KIRA: ...
JOHN: Oh, sorry! I didn't mean to upset ya.
KIRA: Oh, you didn't upset me. I was just thinking about Harton...
JOHN: Harton Raver, huh? He was a nice fella. Lemme see...

'Ya were one of the 5 spirits. Y'all had the same punishment; confinement in 5 swords, but for different reasons. Yer reason wasn't like the others, but it was still bad... This Harton fell;, he was a brave, but stubborn, warrior and formidable hunter. He was a mercenary, but only took stealing jobs. The only things he ever killed were wild animals to eat and some monsters... but never furs, humans or furmentials. For some reason, ya were watching him, never took yer eyes from him... one day, he took a mission, a suicide mission. Even knowing the risks, he took it. Ya were worried about his safety, but also confident that he would make it. Both were wrong... he needed to take a rare object from a noble, but he was prepared. The noble prepared an ambush for him. Harton was surrounded by 50 thugs, he was ready to fight, but the thugs were too many for him. He was hurt badly and was ready to be killed, when ya showed up and made all the thugs disappear. Harton saw ya;

HARTON: ...Are you...my... guardian angel?
KIRA: Something like that. Oh, by the way, looking for this?

Ya had the object. it was a little statue, shaped like ya. It was made with gold and the eyes were diamonds. Very beautiful... but Harton's eyes weren't looking at the statue.

HARTON: Thanks...lovely angel...

Heheh, ya were as red as a tomatoe. He couldn't believe in his eyes... He wanted to touch ya, feel ya, smell ya... But ya only wanted one thing; be with him.

HARTON: You're a spirit, aren't you?
KIRA: ...
HARTON: I'll take it as an yes...
KIRA: I don't have much time here...
HARTON: So, I guess we have to use it well.

He hold yer face kindly and gave ya a kiss. It was his way to say thanks, but ya returned the kiss, this time, it was a kiss with tons of passion. Right away, a new love was born. He wanted to be with ya everytime, and vice-versa. However, there was a stone in yer path; ya couldn't stay in the real world for too long. So, Harton made a very radical decision: he decided to commit suicide, so y'all could be together on Spiritual World. When ya heard it, ya entered in despair. Ya knew that if a mortal commit suicide, he was senteced to go straight to Hell. But Harton didn't know it. Ya went to the Real World, trying to warn him... Too late. By the time ya got there, he was already dead. He poisoned himself. Ya hold him in yer arms, crying, but ya were brought to the Spiritual World right away. The Higher Beings were pissed off with ya. They thought ya were the responsible for his death. But four other Gods didn't believe that ya were the responsible. A big discussion took place, and a fight started between the Gods. It took only 40 minutes. Ya and the other four Gods, who were being accused of other crimes, were senteced to the confinement. Ya five gave the other Gods a hard time fighting them, so they decided y'all should be confined in five swords, and each one were sent for different parts of Talla'Doon, and y'all were hidden well. The other swords are still hidden, but not for too long. The rest, ya already know...'

JOHN: ... and with all this, ya still is a cheerful spirit. It's ya who's something!
KIRA: Hihi, I guess we're something! Well what are you going to do, now?
JOHN: I don't know... Ya think it's safe for me to wake up?
KIRA: What do you think?
JOHN: ...but I just made this question to ya!
KIRA: I know, but the only person who can answer this and other questions is you, and you know that.
JOHN: Yeah, but... I thought I was right about transforming to the Viper Form, but I was wrong...
KIRA: Why do you think that?
JOHN: 'Cause I'd just planned to transform and flee from there, and free my friends, I hadn't planned to harm anyone unnecessarily, but I almost killed Yuira and Inavara, and, if I hadn't been stopped on time, I would've killed my friends!...
KIRA: But you're free and your friends are OK. Inavara was badly injuried, but he'll make it. And Yuira was healed by Jackie, and set you all free... So, everything turned out OK.
JOHN: Maybe, but that just proved that I ain't a born leader.
KIRA: But you're a good friend! That's what counts! You may not be a born leader, but you're there for your friends, and never hesitates on helping a stranger in danger. With all this, being a born leader or not isn't THAT important!
JOHN: ...Ya right... It's just that, I was the heir of the Rindt throne. I guess I worried about it too much, and I forgot what really matters... thanks, Kira...

After saying that, he kissed Kira on the cheek...

KIRA: Uhhhh, why'd you do that?
JOHN: For being sucha good friend.
KIRA: But we just met a few moments ago!
JOHN: ...and I already consider ya as my friend.
KIRA: REALLY?! YEAH, I HAVE ANOTHER FRIEND!!!!
JOHN: WHOA!! Heheh, easy there! ...*cough* Could ya go easier on the hug?
KIRA: Hihi, sorry! ... Maybe you should go, now. Your friends are worried about you...
JOHN: Ya right. I'm going... Thanks, Kira... Ya really had opened my eyes...
KIRA: That's what friends are supposed to do!
JOHN: Heh, ya right, again... Well, goodbye...
KIRA: Goodbye?
JOHN: Yeah. Probably we won't see eachother again...
KIRA: Bohoo, now I'm sad!
JOHN: Oh, wait! Please, don't be sad!
KIRA: Hihi, just kidding!
JOHN: Wha? Why, ya cheater!
KIRA: Hihihi...
JOHN: Hahahah...... I'll miss ya badly, Kira.
KIRA: Me, too, Johnny. Goodbye.....

Back to the real world. It's night. Everyone is sleeping.

JOHN: .... aaaaa...
JACKIE: ...Hummm,... Who's there?
JOHN: ATCHOOOOOOOO!!!!
EVERYONE: !!!!!
ABBIE: WHO'S THERE?!
DIANE: STAY AWAY!!

JOHN: Wait! No! NOT EVERYONE AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!

JOHN: OOOOOOOOFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!
JACKIE: Are you sure you're OK?
JOHN: I'll be when Y'ALL STOP SQUEAZING ME!!!

In the morning:

SAVRIN: So, here's where we split up, huh?
JOHN: Yeah. Now, we must take our own paths.
QUVAS: So, where're you going?
JACKIE: John's planning to get back to Rindt Tribe.
DIANE: What? But I thought...
JOHN: I wanna start a new tribe. It'll have the same name, but instead of just a village, it'll be also a place for travelers to rest. I have many plans for the tribe.
CHRIS: And you, guys?
ZEPHYR: Don't know yet. But don't worry, we'll be alright.
ABBIE: Yeah. Don't worry! We can take care of ourselves! We're the Mighty Ones!
PAT: Hahah! It's good to see y'all in such a good mood!
SUSIE: We have to go. Goodbye, guys.
SAVRIN, ZEPHYR, DIANE, ABBIE and QUVAS: Bye! Take care!!
JOHN, JACKIE, CHRIS, PAT and SUSIE: Bye! Pass by our tribe!
SAVRIN, ZEPHYR, DIANE, ABBIE and QUVAS: We will!
JOHN: Oh, Savrin! Ya a lucky bastard, ya know that?!
SAVRIN: What? Why?
JOHN: 'Cause ya have a very sweet angel as a guardian!!
SAVRIN: What he meant by....! WAIT! HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT...

Too late... The Chosen Ones disappeared in the fog...

SAVRIN: How he knew about Kira?
ZEPHYR: Maybe we'll never know......."
