The fox and the hound: The hidden prophecy

Season one Episode seven: Powers that were Formerly Unknown

Anime rock music played during the credits as the song Prophecy was heard while a male singer was heard.

Tod and Copper were seen running through the forest as a male started singing.

"This is the power of my friends, and family with it."

Tod and Copper jumped into a pond and started splashing one another along with a wolf cub. "Even if it's not all that simple and has hard stuff to fit."

Terra was seen at the top of a tree as she jumped from the highest branch.

"I know there's more to me than being a simple kid."

Terra cannonballed into the pond, splashing Tyler, who was seen tuning his guitar.

"But for my siblings life, that's nothing that I'd bid."

Tyler jumped into the pool and Vixey popped up next to Tod, making the fox kit blush and smile while rubbing his arm. "It's complicated, but I don't care. My life may just flash like a flare."

Tod and the others were seen punching, kicking, and biting Signal's minions.

"But as long as you're here I could care less!"

Jake was seen slashing the robots in half with a sword.

"Even if I die today!"

Signal's eyes were shown with a dark glow.

"It'll be a noble decay!"

Tod and Signal were seen punching and kicking one another in the air.

"My family's not something I'd give up so easily!"

Tod shot a bullet at Signal, who deflected it right back at Tod and his him in the knee.

"My friends and family, are important to me!"

Tod sneered at Signal and managed to charge at her. "And I will find the truth in the prophecy!"

Tod glowed a bright red color and then he aimed a punch at Signal upon the final lyrics.

"That's right, I will find the truth in the prophecy."

Tod and the others were seen going onto the title screen, with Tod front flipping onto the screen next to Copper, being adventurous and optimistic, Copper being kind and timid, Terra skateboarding onto the screen with tsundere feistiness and playfulness, Tyler tuning his guitar and giving a peace sign to the audience with care and calmness, the wolf kicking down the door and flipping off the audience, showing his cocky and selfish side, Vixey showing her bookworm and researcher side when walking on screen, and Jake slashing through the wall and jumping on with the others, and then The fox and the hound: The hidden prophecy appeared behind them.

Scene cuts to Tod running around with Terra in the forest as the young fox gave his sister a playful chase.

Terra kept on running and didn't look back, hearing Tod's playful laugh as she kept up the escape. That was until she stopped hearing the laugh. When she stopped running and looked back, she became confused. She wasn't quite sure where Tod went off to. Although she would've broken a bone of his if he'd bailed on her, she was showing genuine concern for him with her expression. Tod was hiding in a bush when he sushed the audience and whispered to them. "I can't miss this one." Tod tackled Terra and exclaimed his success. "Got ya!" Tod and Terra rolled down the hill to the pond and Terra started laughing when Tod blew raspberries on her stomach.

Terra kicked Tod into the pond with both legs and got up, with Tod rising up and rubbing his chest. "Hey, you never warned for any kicks."

"Don't have to. Your mouth did it for me." Terra giggled a bit as Tod got out of the water with Terra then noticing his paw turning blue. This made her a bit cautious since it was the first time she'd seen this. "I don't know what kind of warning that gives though."

Tod becomes confused and looks at his paw surprised to have seen it turn blue. "Strange. I don't know what it could mean either." A drop of water fell from Tod's paw; it amazed both him and Terra, as they never saw anything like this before. When Tod's paw turned back to normal, he looked at Terra and the two of them nodded. They then ran off to see if Jake knew anything about this.

Scene cuts to Tod and Terra explaining what happened in the forest to Jake.

"So then my paw turned blue and water started to drip from it." Tod explained. "We only saw one drop of course, since it turned back to normal right after. But it was still really something."

"Since you adopted Tod five years ago, we thought you'd know something." Terra added, with Jake taking an interest in the story that he'd just heard from them.

Jake turned over to his computer since he was sitting on a chair and looked something up. This was about Tod's power, which he learned about a while back sometime after he first allowed Tod to stay with him. "I actually noticed something like this a while back, sometime when Tod was four or five." Tod remembered something that linked to what Jake just mentioned. "Apparently Tod's a special kind of fox that can use his power for two different elements." The elements Jake refered to appeared on the screen. "Wind and water."

Tod and Terra became intrigued by this as Tod then questioned why this didn't happen sooner. "I remember that one time when I looked out the window for the first time." Tod flashbacked to the exact event he mentioned. "When I reached my paw outside, the wind started flowing around it and created an orb of air. But it vanished before I could show it to anyone. Probably a good thing though. Who knows what it could've turned into."

The flashback ended with Terra wondering if she and Tyler had any powers like this. "So you have awesome elemental powers then? I sure hope me and Tyler have some too."

"Maybe you do. From what I know all three of you have exclusive elements." Jake explained. "There's one more part of this one prophecy I found, but it got stashed away in my bookshelf a long time ago, so I don't remember what it is." Tod and Terra found this information to be exceptionally interesting, wondering what they could do with these powers.

Scene cuts to Tyler writing in a book of some sorts outside as he thinks about what he could put into it.

'Not much has happened since I learned about our parents with my siblings.' Tyler came up with a suggestion and wrote it down. 'Maybe I could write down about what Tod told me about the other day. Hopefully Copper won't mind, since I don't intend on publishing it for a while now.' Tyler saw Tod and Terra walking up to him and was more than happy to greet them. "Hey guys. Enjoy your little game back there?"

"It was fun while it lasted." Tod remarked, with Terra nodding in agreement. "We actually found out something really cool when we went to the forest."

"Tod has these really cool water powers that can make water drop from his paw." Tyler seems a bit confused by this until he remembers something he read once. "I'm guessing you've read about this before."

"Just a bit of it." Tyler stood up and walked ahead of his siblings. "Cmon." Tyler ran off to his and Terra's room with his siblings following.

Scene cuts to Tyler looking through his bookshelf, which he brought in when he and Terra moved in, looking for something that was on it.

Tyler searched for a bit until he eventually found the correct bookshelf case. When he pulled it out, it had a lot of dust on it, indicating that it had been a while since he'd read the book. He blew on it to get the dust off, which blew over to his siblings and made them cough. This led to one of Tod's usual sassy remarks. "Who wrote this book, the dust bunnies?"

Tyler shrugged and opened up the book, which showed the powers he and his siblings could learn. He then flipped on over to the page that showed this. "In a form of irony, sometime after Vixey showed us that book about our parents, I saw this book while walking around town and coming across the bookstore I go to every now and then."

"Who needs books when you have sports and video games?" Terra asked. "As in, stuff that you don't need as much effort to do. Books always make you read them to the highest context and everything."

"Books are considered more relaxing Terra." Tyler answered as he then showed Tod and Terra the page he went to. "This one seems to state the powers we can all use and they're exclusive to us. The calmest gets light and nature, the feisty one gets fire and earth, and the purest gets light and water." Tod took an interest to him being called the purest, wondering what it could lead to for the future.

Scene cuts to Copper trying to howl for Amos but failing to do so as Tod hid in a bush.

Copper continued to attempt at howling but kept on failing, with Amos starting to get strict with him. "Copper, I'm not playing games here." Tod felt bad for Copper and decided to give him a little boost. He swiftly used his paw to hit his tail swiftly, making Copper let out a powerful howl that made Chief fall back. This led to Chief shooting his shotgun in the air and having an apple land on his head. He then chuckled a bit as he praised Copper for his accomplishment. "Well done there Copper. I've never seen anything like that out of you."

Chief smelled something burning and signaled Copper that he'd be right back. He then ran off after Copper nodded and then he looked to see Tod pop out from a bush. "Hunting practice?"

"Yep. Thanks for the save there." Copper replied, grateful for Tod's painful, but helpful assistance. "If you weren't there I'd probably dissapoint Chief big time."

Tod noticed a sense of concern in Copper's voice and figured that showing him his new power would make him feel better. "You wanna come see something?" Copper became interested in hearing this and followed Tod to the forest, with Chief noticing this from the barn. While he was now less aggressive with Tod when he ran off with Copper, he didn't like Copper skipping out on hunting practice.

Scene cuts to Tod and Copper near the pond with Tod getting ready to show Copper his new power.

"I just found out that I had this power, but if I try hard enough then I think I can get it to work." Copper nodded as Tod placed his paw into the water, lifting it up right after and finding that there was no water orb. Being a bit surprised, he put it back in and waited a bit longer. "Maybe it takes more time." Tod takes his paw out of the water again and finds no water orb, gaining a blunt look from it. "Really."

Copper became confused about what Tod was trying to show him, not exactly understanding what he was trying to do. "Is the power putting your paw into the water a bunch?"

"No, there's supposed to be a water orb." Tod explained, and he then looked at Copper once he continued. "If I can master this power then maybe we can get closer to stopping Signal. Only problem is that it came at random when I was playing with Terra, so it could be anything that causes it." Copper looked into the water with Tod wondering if there was a limit. "Maybe it's one use per day."

"I doubt it." Copper replied. "If the power was THAT lame they wouldn't have even implumented it." Tod nodded in agreement, seeing Copper's point. "I don't really know how this works, but what I DO know is that they'd obviously let you use it again if you had to. It's like, the law."

Tod started thinking about his chances of beating Signal, knowing that his combat skills alone weren't enough. Despite the dojo being a great help for him, Copper, and his siblings, he felt as if he wasn't able to get to the strength that he needed in order to win. He knew it was important to finish the prophecy, but he couldn't master this skill straight away. This alone frustrated him. "If that's true then it'd better not be a spoiled brat."

Scene cuts to Terra trying walking through the forest to find a good place to try and learn her earth powers.

'Let's see here. Jake said one of my powers was earth. And since we don't have any fire nearby, I think it's best to try that one.' Terra walked through the forest some more as she then came over to what looked like an open area. It had rocks and everything, which was perfect for Terra's training. When she went to walk over to it however, she was caught of guard by a bear trap, which she pulled her paw away from just in time before it snapped. 'Some people just don't understand that blood could kill the taste of a bear.'

Terra jumped onto a tree and then jumped to another one, continuing this process until she got to the rocks. When she did get to the rocks, she walked up to one and placed her paw against it, wondering what she has to do. "Alright earth powers. However you work, do your stuff." Terra tried to use her earth powers, but couldn't exactly pull it off due to not knowing how they worked. After waiting for about ten seconds, she got fed up and kicked the ground in frustration.

The ground Terra kicked suddenly made the ground rise behind her, making her turn around and see it for herself. She was amazed at what she just did, wanting to see more. "Awesome!" Terra climbed up tot he top of the rock and stopped at the point, feeling the rock and finding it to be very sturdy. "And it's hard too. I can surround loads of baddies with a power like this in my arsenal." Terra ran off to tell Tod and Tyler about her power discovery, hoping that she could demonstrate it intentionally when she did.

Scene cuts to Tyler sitting over a cliff of some sorts, seeming to be trying to discover his wind power.

Tyler raised his paw calmly in front of him and waited for a wind orb to come along. Being that it was the most common form of use, he figured that it'd be a good place to start to unlocking his powers. Since Tyler was the most patient of his silbings, he didn't have much of a problem with waiting. Despite this, he didn't seem to be making any progress. After about twenty seconds of the edges of the cliff being shown around him and the sun being shown in one clip, he put his paw down and started to wonder what else he could do. "Maybe it involves more life risking challenges."

Tyler sensed something and looked back to see a fox like figure. Since he only knew three foxes in his entire life, and two of them were his siblings, he didn't have much caution when he walked up to the figure. And he was right to be as calm as he was, as it was just Vixey studying some oddly colored tree bark. Vixey saw Tyler and smiled as she put her stuff away. "Ah, hey Tyler. Fancy seeing you around here. Usually it's Tod that comes to pay me a visit, if at all anyway."

"I'm actually out here testing out these powers I heard I had." Tyler explained, with Vixey becoming excited when she heard it. "See, I heard the calmest of the siblings was given the skills of wind and nature. I don't know how they work yet, but a part of me feels like I'll get there."

Vixey takes out a book of some sorts and looks through it, finding a page that shows Tyler using his wind powers. "Maybe even sooner than you expect." Vixey showed Tyler a picture of what she was talking about with Tyler becoming intrigued by it. "It's not much, but it does show a glimpse of what your powers will be like. I don't think you'll be dissapointed in this regard."

"What regard?" Tod asked as he popped down from underneath a tree. Copper then came along as he jumped down. "Also, cannonballs don't make good water power makers."

"Neither do rocks." Terra added in once she frontflipped over them. "I did find something else that made some use to me though."

"Well you guys can tell me all about it back at my home." Vixey walked past the others and signaled them to follow her, which they did, with Tod and Copper being the only ones who knew about what Vixey's place was all about.

Scene cuts to Tod and the others at Vixey's place with Tyler admiring the crystal coating.

Tyler touched the crystal coating and found the feel and look of it to be a spectecle. "Phenomenal." Tyler saw Vixey's bookcase and was amazed at all the books she had on it, walking over to it and admiring them. "There's gotta be at least three hundred sixty five books here!"

"Lucky guess." Vixey replied as she walked in, grabbing the book she had on Tod, Terra, and Tyler. "Also, quick little note, I think the fourth magical being is Copper."

Tod was eating a tamale with Copper looking to see fifty more right next to it. He questioned how Tod would be able to eat them all, considering what mexican food did to people. "Good thing we don't share a room."

"Heh. No kidding." Tod smacked down on another tamale and licked his fingers, sighing of relief upon the taste of it. "Actually, I don't share a room with anyone. (Looks at the audience) Not that you needed that clarification of course."

Terra was shown to be in a room that we've never seen before, with ruby coated weights and everything as she counted the while using dumbell she was lifting. "One hundred and seventy five, one hundred and seventy six, one hundred and seventy seven, one hundred and seventy eight, one hundred and seventy nine, one hundred and eighty." Terra put the dumbell down and punched her palm, walking back over to the others afterwards.

Tod was still eating the tamales with Vixey walking up to him, amazed at how big his appetite could be. Once Tod ate his eightieth tamale, Vixey commented on how he could eat so much. "I've never seen anyone your size eat as much as you do Tod."

"There are some anime characters that could eat as much as me." Tod replied. "Goku from Dragon Ball, Kion from The Legend of Kion, Orion from Ginga Hanashi Orion, there are plenty of them out there." Tod continued eating the tamales with Vixey noticing that Tod is more than capable of holding in his gas. Well, at least from the backside, as Tod then released a loud burp. The young fox patted his belly, which surprisingly enough didn't get much bigger. Despite this, Vixey then pulled the tamales away, which led to Tod whining a bit. "Hey."

"Oh stop whining, would you?" Vixey replied as she put the tamales away. "Eat enough of these and you could get diabetes."

Tod scoffed with a smirk, feeling like he could eat plenty more of those things. "I could eat two hundred of those and not get diabetes. I actually did that for pizza one time." Vixey raised an eyebrow right before Tod finished. "All the slices." Vixey nodded with amazement as Copper appeared to be baffled by the amount of food Tod could eat. "It's something that I've been doing for five years now. Jake really knows how to fill up my stomach."

"Now all he's gotta do is find a way to where it doesn't make out with your butt." Copper joked, with Tod chuckling nervously as he scratched the back of his head. "Speaking of other stuff actually, we came here to learn about the powers Tod told me he and his siblings had, right?"

"That's right." Vixey replied with a nod. "Tyler's already in the library, and Terra should be done in the training room." Tod and Copper got up and walked off with Vixey as Tod looked at her with a smile of amazement. Copper was confused by this but shrugged as he decided to just brush it off.

Tod and the others were all gathered up at the table with Vixey opening up the book on the powers Tod, Terra, and Vixey represent. Vixey looked at the powers Tod had and was more than excited to share this knowledge. "You really are lucky Tod. Wind and water can make mini hurricanes, which mess with the enemies full circle. (Laughs) I'd just love to see their faces with that one."

Vixey laughed a bit more as Tod got a look at the page she was looking at, taking a liking to what it showed from his perspective. "So this is what we can do then." Tod looked to see a giant hurricane that seemed to be destroying everything in sight. He didn't know what to make of it, since he wasn't all that fond of destruction. "That's one power I hope I don't end up abusing." Vixey looked at what Tod was pointing too with Copper getting a look at it as well. "If that gets too far out of hand, I could kill everything."

"Yeah, I wouldn't wanna be in the middle of that." Copper added in, hoping that Tod wouldn't have to use the power at all. "I mean, I'm all about getting wet, but that'd be the last thing I'd wanna do."

"Pssh. Barf that." Terra then walked over to them and grabbed the book as Tyler walked over as well. "Let me see MY powers." Terra got a look at her powers and saw a volcano like fire rising from her paw. This was something that she couldn't help but find insane. "Awesome! I'm totally using that on Signal; there's no excuse not to!"

Tyler looked at the page next to Terra's and saw a power that showed a light beam with leaves surrounding it. "My power doesn't seem as huge as either of yours, but it could still be effective. After all the biggest matter is the impact."

"Precisely." Vixey replied as she then thought about seeing the powers for herself. "It would just be an incredible moment indeed to see them all in action. I heard they give this huge attack that could destroy all evil, but it's never been used before because the final figure was never found." Tod took an interest in that information, wanting to know more about how it worked.

Scene cuts to Kevin playing on his console as he's then shown playing some kind of hack n slash.

Kevin kept on trying to beat all the enemies but couldn't seem to beat them, and this continued onward once Tod knocked on the door. "It's open!" Tod opens the door and Kevin groans at the fact that he just died. "Whatever! This game cheats anyway!" Kevin throws his controller aside with Tod catching it and walking over to him with Copper. "I guess you guys now know how I feel about Pyro Shall Scorch, or at least the third game. I love it, but I can hardly do anything because it's so hard that my eyes almost bawl out from it."

Tod took a look at the level Kevin was playing and decided to give it a go. "Lair of Kidemokrasia? Dude, I beat this level twice now." Tod started playing the level and Kevin then started talking with Copper.

"So we learned about some of Tod's powers today." Copper said, filling Kevin in on what they did today. "There's this one that can even create a hurricane that destroys everything. I wonder if it could also destroy people's insides."

"Well if it can destroy everything then it can obviously destroy your insides." Kevin pointed out, leaving Copper to think about those words. "Still, that's a hurricane I'd pretty much be forced to come along with, since I plan on joining Tod and the other members of his gang on their adventures. That's something I'd rather die than not see with my own eyes." Tod finished the level and handed Kevin the controller, which Kevin greatly appriciated. "Thanks loser. Oh, and I got those sodas you like."

Tod and Copper both hi fived Kevin and walked over to the fridge, opening it up as Copper asked Tod a question. "So what do you think your powers would look like to your family?"

Tod flinched upon that question, thinking about his mother for a bit when he heard it. "I don't know Copper." Tod and Copper grabbed their sodas and walked back over to where Kevin is, with Copper noticing Tod's expression as they left. Kevin found this level to be easier than the last with his expression of being less stressed out.

Scene cuts to Tod, Copper, and Kevin chilling out in Kevin's room as Kevin looks up something on his laptop.

Tod noticed a building on Kevin's laptop that looked familiar. He recognized it from a book he read on London in his history class. Although he couldn't tell why Kevin was looking it up, he walked over to him to see what was up with Copper joining him. "Hey Kevin, why're you looking up the Shard?"

"Well Tod, some people say that it's just a glass tower." Kevin explained, having a theory in mind. "But in reality, it's a super secret tower that I'm going to discover the source of, even if I have to kick the place down. Which would cause a lot of blood, but still."

Tod found this intriguing as Copper then remembered something in his house. "Hey, Amos has this scratch ticket that lets him choose a ticket to a free place. He hasn't used it yet and maybe if we use it ourselves, we can use the tickets to get to London and find more information on Tod's powers."

"You mean steal it?" Kevin asked, with him then realizing what Copper meant. "Oh, wait, now I get it. Terrible idea dude, he'd never give it to us." Copper shrugged, feeling that it was at least worth a try.

Scene cuts to Tod, Copper, and Kevin sneaking around behind Amos's house as Copper then nods to Tod and Kevin.

"Alright guys. Now I'll go in there and try to get the ticket, and hopefully we'll be able to get the amount of tickets we need to get to London." Copper explained, hoping he could help Tod find more information about his family. "Since I'm the only one that both Amos and Chief trust, I'll be the best one to go in and see if I can get it. One wrong move from anyone and it's all over. Or we just need a plan B. Or maybe a plan something."

"Just get the ticket dude." Tod replied with a friendly arm punch, with Copper smiling and nodding as he headed off. Copper walked up to the porch and looked inside to see Amos watching Tv. Not wanting to get caught too easily, he opened the window and then hid. This caught Amos's attention, so he walked over to the window to close it. Little did he know however that a little Bloodhound had just snuck in through the doggie door. Copper hid underneath the couch and kept himself out of Amos's sight, which he was able to do until he felt his bladder about to burst.

Copper tried to hold in his wimpers as he then reached for the ticket. Since Amos was into his hunting show, he didn't see it, but then Copper started peeing. He face palmed silently as he thought to himself. 'I knew I shouldn't have drunk all that soda the other night.' Copper finished after about ten seconds and climbed out the window behind the couch, which was already opened. This was when Amos noticed the pee and got frustrated. "Dang nabit Copper! This is why we gotta get you house trained!"

Copper showed Tod and Kevin the ticket and all three of them hi fived, running off with Tod stopping for a bit to look back at Amos. The hunter noticed the red fox as the camera then panned to Tod's butt, allowing him to shake it at Amos and blow a raspberry at him, showing his childlike sass. Tod then ran off with Amos closing the window in anger, knowing he'd get Tod someday. Vixey was then shown spying on the three with a soft giggle as the screen faded to black, ending the episode off.

Light guitar music plays during the credits as Tod is seen walking through the forest.

A female voice prepared to sing My mother as Tod looked at the ground in a sorrow mood once the song began, showing Tod's struggle with his mother's death and his new life. "As much as I love my life there are truths that I can't deny." Tod passed over some shadows of Signal and her minions confronting him. "If I hadn't seen my mother die then time could just fly by." Tod then saw a vision of Signal attempting to kill him, sending fear down his spine. "But even with all of this in my mind and all of this known pain." Tod tried to shake off the memory, not letting it get to him. "If I just let it affect me then there's nothing to gain."

Copper was seen walking through the forest with a rather upset look on his face, struggling to find who he was as the song continued from another female singer. "And even with these thoughts in mind and all that I can see." Copper looked up to the sky, having images of Chief teaching him how to hunt. "Deep down inside my heart I just don't know what I want to be." Copper looked at the rabbit doll in the clouds above, not wanting to hurt it. "I know they're trying to help me but I don't want this life." Copper looked on ahead with confusion in his eyes. "And although I'm grateful for their support inside I have this strife."

Tod and Copper were seen running through the forest together, both confused as the song continued with both female singers. "Both of these memories from within show how we struggle with our lives." Tod arrived at a hill as he looked over it, holding back his tears of pain. "The loss of grief and choice of life show how which one of us survives." Tod looked to see Copper next to him, both having similar pain. "But even with this thought inside me I won't let it be a bother." Tod smiled and scooted closer to Copper, wrapping his arm around him. "Cause us best friends won't ever want to try to hurt each other." Copper smiled upon the comfort of Tod, both of them looking over the hill as these last lyrics were sang, as well as them appearing on the screen from the first singer.

"I will get the proudness deserved from and by my mother."
