The warband exited the Burrows of Moledavia, entering into Fireheart Rise. They quickly rushed north-east, and within half an hour, they caught sight of their targets. A chase ensued, and soon they found themselves running towards the Switchback Canyons.
"They're going to try and lose us in the canyons!" Spots exclaimed.
"Won't work!" Muto stated boldly.
"I think I know where they're going..." Chef said.
Their chase took them throw a narrow passage, but the older Charr kept their distance as they continued running. Minutes passed, and the Wollrane Warband came to the Keeper's Sanctum, where they saw the three Charr descend into the molten gorge.
"I was right... I wish I wasn't, but I was." Chef said, a bit of nervousness in his voice.
Muto gazed down into the Sanctum. "We descend."
And descend they did. As they went through, they saw what must have been upwards of a dozen Charr who all looked at them as they went further into the chasm.
They reached a platform, and finally found their goal. Wolvigar stood at the edge of a circular platform raised above the rest of the sanctum.
"Wolvigar!" Exclaimed the yellow-furred charr. "We've been followed. They wouldn't let up, so we thought we'd bring them here to get 'em as a group!"
The helmeted charr nodded, and turned to face the trio. "It is alright, my brothers." He said as he walked forward. "They are here for me."
The warband walked slowly up to the platform.
"Surrender." Muto ordered.
"Brothers and sisters!" Wolvigar yelled. Charr came up behind the warband, but did not ascend to the platform.
"Be ready." Muto stated, looking to her friends.
"Brothers and sisters, our temporary home has proven to be just that - Temporary. We have been found, and you all must travel west."
"What about you, Wolvigar?" Asked a black-furred charr woman at below the platform.
"I will take care of these intruders. You must all stay safe - I do not wish to lose any of you in a fight that is here because of me."
Wolvigar's group nodded and began to exit the sanctum, until all that was left was the warband and Wolvigar.
"Again. Surrender." Muto ordered, walking slowly towards Wolvigar.
He drew his large hammer, and held it in his left hand. "I will not surrender to you. I have things to do, a new family to tend to... You will not stop my work." He said as fiery wings began to form on his back.
"No way..." Spots said in disbelief. "I think I know why he's alive..."
"The mists restored me... I've been sent back to get revenge on the Legions, and I have gladiums to unite. My revenge TRULY begins NOW!" He yelled, rushing forward and jumping. He landed on top of a floating molten prison, and threw his hammer down at the warband, who quickly jumped out of the way.
Muto drew her pistols, and Boomstick drew his shotgun. They began firing at Wolvigar, who formed a mist shield to block the bullets.
Spots pulled out her own hammer, Chef pulled out two spiked frying pans, Crowbar unsheathed her crowbar, and Hairy pulled out his greatsword.
Wolvigar jumped down, near-instantly picking up his hammer and swinging it around. Everyone dodged the swing but Muto, who was hit and knocked back towards the edge of the platform, unconscious.
Hairy charged Wolvigar, swinging his greatsword diagonally upwards to the right, connecting with Wolvigar's hammer as the winged charr blocked. With a quick push, Wolvigar sent Hairy flying back, into a wall, knocking him out.
Boomstick provided covering fire, though another mist shield made his bullets useless. Chef rushed Wolvigar, swinging his spiked frying pans wildly, but missing each time as Wolvigar disappeared and reappeared several times to dodge.
"He's a... revenant!?" Boomstick exclaimed.
"That's what I was getting at!" Spots yelled as she leapt over Chef, attempting to bring her hammer down on Wolvigar's head. With a swipe of his own hammer, however, Wolvigar pushed her back, though she landed safely at the foot of the platform.
Crowbar and Chef charged at Wolvigar, attempting to perform a group bash on him, which failed as he disappeared, popping up behind them and kicking them back towards Muto's unconscious body.
Wolvigar put up another mist shield and leapt over Spots, towards Boomstick. With a quick movement, Wolvigar grabbed onto Boomstick's shotgun and bent it upwards. Boomstick fell back, and Wolvigar blasted him with a bolt of mist, rendering him unconscious as well.
Spots, Chef, and Crowbar jumped at Wolvigar, who hurled them back against a wall with a swing of his hammer. Chef and Crowbar were now unconscious as well, with Spots the only one left to fight.
"You're gonna pay for this, Wolvigar." She said angrily, growling.
"You will pay for your betrayal of me and all of the gladiums you've abandoned." He said as he slowly walked towards her.
Spots charged at Wolvigar, swinging her hammer wildly. To her shock, Wolvigar grabbed her hammer and threw it aside, using his other hand to grab Spots by her neck and lift her up into the air.
"I will not kill you. You are coming with me." He said ominously. With a swirl of mist forming around the two, they disappeared.
Muto awoke, and gasped, looking at her comrades. She noticed quickly as they woke up that Spots was missing.
"What... what do we do?" Chef asked.
"We follow. West. Save Spots." Muto stated.
And west they went, chasing after Wolvigar and their captured friend.
