It was late at night when four figures journeyed through the Great Forest, tracking an old friend of theirs. Two of the figures were two echidnas, one having black fur with white dots, one black eye, and one white eye, and the other echidna having sand-colored fur and brown eyes. The third figure was a chameleon with black skin and blue eyes that blended in perfectly with the darkness of the night. Along with the two echidnas and the chameleon, there was also a jaguar with red fur and green eyes leading the group to their destination. The two echidnas were Galaxy and Chronos, the chameleon was Mirage, and the jaguar was Sol.
"How much farther to our destination," Chronos asked.
"Not too much farther, Chronos. Thunder was last located in this area," Sol responded.
"Are you sure, Sol," Mirage asked before Sol stopped dead in his tracks.
"Are you questioning my leadership, Mirage?"
"No, sir. I apologize."
"I thought not," Sol said before he continued walking through the dense forest.
"You better watch what you say around Sol, Mirage."
"Otherwise, you may find yourself in trouble with him," Galaxy said, unaware that Sol was listening in on their conversation.
"They're right, Mirage. You should be careful of what you say."
"I don't think it's wise to eavesdrop on others' conversations, Sol," Chronos said.
"It's also isn't wise to have conversations out in the open," Sol added.
"That's true," Mirage muttered, agreeing with Sol. Galaxy, Mirage, Chronos, and Sol kept walking through the forest until stopping on the outskirts of New Mobotropolis. They marveled at the beauty of the city.
"Amazing."
"Astounding."
"Incredible."
"Boring." Sol, Chronos, and Mirage all glared at Galaxy after he had made his remark.
"What? It's just a city," Galaxy said.
"Think about it, Galaxy. Have you ever seen a city like that before," Sol asked.
"Not really."
"Of course you haven't. It's just so well-built. It's an urban masterpiece."
"It also seems to be Thunder's last known location," Chronos added.
"Interesting," Sol said.
"Should we see if Thunder's anywhere in there," Mirage asked.
"No, Mirage. Everyone in the city must be sleeping by now. We'll just have to wait until morning."
"Exactly right, Chronos. We cannot simply barge in and search for Thunder. It would be a major invasion of privacy."
"Fine. Looks like we're setting up camp for the night." Minutes later, Mirage, Chronos, and Galaxy were asleep while Sol was off by himself.
"Why did you turn against us, Luna? Our tribes may not have been the best of friends, but we were. We were best friends when we were younger. Wherever you are, I hope you're recovering from being exiled from the Wolf Pack," Sol said as he stared at the night sky.
"New Mobotropolis, the very city where my other five operatives are hiding. It's finally time to awaken them," Luna said before closing her eyes and focusing on finding her other operatives. She stopped when she had found Aero sleeping peacefully.
"Aero, awaken. You are my master of air." Aero shot up awake minutes before a moon appeared on his chest, the Roman numeral for three appeared on his back, and his eyes changed from green to pure white.
"I serve only you, Luna," Aero said as he got up. Luna then focused on finding Frost.
"Frost, awaken. You are my master of ice," Luna said before Frost's eyes changed from ice blue to pure white and a four appeared on his back.
"I serve only you, Luna," Frost said.
"Terra, awaken. You are my master of earth." Terra's eyes changed from brown to pure white and a five appeared on her back.
"I serve only you, Luna," Terra said.
"Flame, awaken. You are my master of fire," Luna said before Flame's eyes changed from red to pure white and an eight appeared on his back.
"I serve only you, Luna," Flame said.
"Aqua, awaken. You are my master of water." Aqua's eyes changed from blue to pure white and a nine appeared on her back.
"I serve only you, Luna," Aqua said.
"My half of the Dominion is awake. Your move, Sol," Luna said before a seven appeared on her back and a moon appeared on her chest.
