(No P.O.V.)
Two years has passed since the rekindling of Bagheera and Shere Khan's friendship, and in one instance where trouble followed Mowgli once again, the wolf pack met Shere Khan when he saved Mowgli, with Akela reminiscing of the times long past when Shere Khan was a cub.
Yet all is not good in the jungle. The rumored jackal has allied with more of its species, destroying Man in their path, getting closer and closer to the jungle. No one can imagine such a council of wolves, two tigers, one panther to try to find a solution, but they have realized that the jackal has grown far more bloodthirsty, and they all wanted Mowgli to be safe.
And so, the journey to get Mowgli to the man village was indicated. Bagheera dealt with Kaa with a bit of help from Mowgli as Amber and Shere Khan is too heavy for the tree itself, so took to rest upon the base of the tree. On the way, Shere Khan, Bagheera has reunited with Baloo who has taken a real shining to Mowgli, yet trouble has found Mowgli...again in the occurrence of monkeys kidnapping Mowgli which has angered Amber.
Amber was the one who actually lectured King Louie, and scared him into giving up Mowgli, and despite remembering all the advice about Man, Mowgli still doesn't want to go to the man village. After overhearing a conversation between Shere Khan and Amber, Mowgli was angry that his friends want him to go to the village after everything he went through, loving the jungle, and he ran away in the night.
Amber was worried after she checked his bed, and told the others, and without wasting anymore time, they split up in various directions, sniffing and calling out for Mowgli. But the jackals unfortunately have found Mowgli sooner than anyone would've imagined, and Amber was the first one to come upon the scene, and the identity of the jackal was revealed.
It was Buster, much to Amber's horror and shock. She tried to forget Buster all these years, but when his voice and his eyes was revealed, Amber recognized him despite not being human for he's a real-for-life jackal. He used to be a 'easy on the eyes' blonde man with copper blue eyes, having flawless tan skin, but now as a jackal, he has a muddy brown pelt with dull golden splashes here and there, his eyes remain copper blue, but lighter in shade, and he was rather big in size, not the height, but rather the size, probably from feasting like a cannibal on Man.
Despite that Buster has a deep voice, not quite like Shere Khan, and having a strange wild-eyed look in his eyes, he recognized Amber like how she did about him, and they spat at each other, arguing and growling as the past came back to them in memories. Mowgli realized that the jackal was the same Buster that Amber has been angry and afraid about when talking about him, and he wanted to protect Amber from being hurt again.
Amber saw Mowgli start to attack Buster with a stick, and Buster was getting pissed off, and she roared, running to save Mowgli from Buster when Buster ordered the other jackals to attack her. She fought bloodily and ferociously as she could, but it was getting overwhelming for her as they kept coming one after one, then roars were heard in the distance.
Shere Khan and Bagheera joined into the fight while Baloo both fought Buster and saved Mowgli. A bear against a jackal wasn't pretty, but it wasn't quite the same as a group of jackals fighting three big cats. In the chaos, Buster disappeared, leaving his allies to be killed by the trio of cats, vowing to kill Amber when she's alone.
In the end, the battle was done quickly enough with the cats gaining bruises, wounds, injuries, but still standing up pretty good despite the blood loss and the energy rush vanishing from them. Baloo was better off, but still gained some bruises. Amber realized that Buster was still out there, having vanished from the battle like the coward he is, and knew that Mowgli needed to get to the man village now.
And so, Mowgli went to the man village at last, meeting a pretty girl by the name of Shanti, and with a good-bye smile, the cats and bear returned to the village, relieved that Mowgli is safe finally, yet worried that Buster will return sooner or later, especially with the fact that Buster recently found out that Shere Khan is Amber's mate.
