Chapter 8: Farewell Dear Friends
Before Squint could strike at Shira, Raz jumps straight next to Shira and hits the rabbit away with her weapon as hard as she can. The impact sends the rabbit flying to the tree and knocks him out cold.
Shira and the others stared at the purple kangaroo until Shira spoke out
"Raz...Why did you-?"
"Go...Get out of here Shira and take your kid with you" Raz interrupted.
Shira stood up and said
"Raz, I don't understand"
"Just get out of here Shira! Now!" Raz angrily replied.
Shira was confused on why Raz defended her but instead she nodded and looks at her son Aiu who was really confusion as much as his mother.
"Come Aiu" Shira said.
Soon the two sabres fled as the others except for Squint looks at Raz who looks back and hissed
"What?"
"You care about her don't you Raz?" Flynn asked.
Raz didn't answer Flynn's question but instead replied
"Let's get out of here...I don't wanna stay on this island"
They were about to leave as Silas looks back and replied
"What about Squint?"
"What about him? He doesn't care about us anywhere...He's like Gutt..." Raz spatted.
Raz looks back at the others and asked
"Well are you guys coming or not?"
"We're a team Raz and we're not leaving Squint behind" said Gupta.
"Well if you guys want to stay as pirates, Go ahead! But after what happened today with Shira...I'm done...I don't wanna be a pirate anymore...I...I don't wanna hurt Shira, she's like a sister to me and I care about her...I'm sorry but I won't do it...I owe Gutt or that mutt NOTHING" Raz sadly and angrily explained.
She left as Flynn cries out
"Hey Raz! Wait up! Wait!"
Flynn follows her as Gupta yells
"Come back you guys, we need you"
"It's too late...they're gone now" said Silas.
Meanwhile Diego has finally found Shira and Aiu as he sighs in relief and runs to them.
"Shira! Aiu! Are you OK?!" Diego asked.
"Diego, it's the pirates, they're here on the island" said Shira.
"WHAT?!" Diego exclaimed.
"They tried to harm mother but a purple kangaroo saved us and let us go" said Aiu.
"What?" Diego asked in confusion.
"It's true, Raz saved us and well...she let us go unharmed" said Shira.
"Where are the pirates now?" Diego growled as he looks around.
"Diego, it's OK! They're gone now, I doubt they'll ever come back again...Not after what happened" said Shira.
"What do you mean?" Diego asked.
"Well I explained to them that Gutt was using us and I told them why I left...They believed me and they apologised to me...except for Squint who hated me so much that he rather wanted to kill me" said Shira.
"Did he hurt you?!" Diego asked in concern.
"No! That's when Raz saved us and let us go" said Shira.
"Maybe they cared about you" Aiu said.
"Could be" Shira nodded.
"I'm just so glad you two are safe" said Diego.
"We're Ok dad" said Aiu.
"Do you think the pirates are the ones who are after us?" Diego asked.
"I don't think so...We don't hire wolves to send messages like what happened yesterday before I met you all...Why?" Shira replied.
Soon they saw Dodger sadly carrying the bodies of his best friends Fred and Ted.
"Fred?...Ted?..." Aiu gasped in horror.
"Are they...?" Shira gasped in alarm.
Diego sadly nodded as Dodger sobs quietly
"They were my true friends and now they're gone"
Shira and Aiu nuzzles Fred and Ted's head as they sob for them for a while until Diego sadly said
"We should head back and bury them safely"
Dodger nodded tearfully as they soon return to the village where the herd and the villagers sadly learned about the deaths of Fred and Ted.
Shira then explains what happened between her and the pirates as Sid asked
"Do you think they're behind this?"
"I asked that too but Shira told me it's not possible...it'susually Gutt who does the killing" said Diego.
"Poor Fred and Ted...they didn't deserve to die like this" Manny sadly replied.
"I know...They're one of my closer friends in the world and now they're gone" Rosy cried as Jonathan hugs her.
"Well I can tell this now, Whoever did this to Fred and Ted, They will NOT get away with this" Jonathan replied.
"Yeah!" The boys agreed.
"But I say we must very careful for now on...Someone IS after us once again and we must know who and why?" Ellie replied.
"Let's hope we find the villain fast before they can do anymore great damage to our family" said Louis.
"I like chocolate milk!" Granny pointed out.
"Shut up Granny!" Aiu groaned in annoyance.
"I'll whoop your butt so hard, you'll end up being a cat" Granny cracked.
"I AM a cat you idiot" Aiu scoffed.
"And losers says what?" Granny smirked.
"What?" Aiu said in confusion.
"Got ya!" Granny laughed.
"Damn it!" Aiu hissed.
"Enough! Both of you!" Peaches commanded.
Soon Dodger appeared and sadly said
"We're ready for the funeral..."
"Let's go..." Ellie sadly replied.
Soon they gathered outside with everyone as they saw two graves that have the names Fred and Ted on the stone wall. Dodger then steps forward and said
"Today we acknowledge a really terrible loss. Fred and Ted were the greatest friends we could have ever asked for...Whenever we felt sad or want to do something fun, they were always there for us till the end and that's why we will always remember them in our hearts and souls forever...Fred, Ted, you will missed so much and we all love you so much...Rest in peace my beloved friends"
Soon he lays flowers on their graves as everyone begins to moan for the loss of Fred and Ted while Dodger goes to his wife and his son and holds them close.
"Dad..." Marcus Jr said
"Yes son?" Dodger sobbed.
"Fred and Ted will always watch over you in heaven and they'll always be there for you in here" said Marcus Jr as he places his paw on his father's chest.
Dodger tearfully hugs his son and replied
"Thank you son"
Niamh then joins the father and son hug as the others continue to moan for Fred and Ted as their spirits are now free into the heavens forever.
Meanwhile back at the Cave of Shadows, Victor was furious that the pirates have failed while the sabres are watching Victor growling at the pirates.
"I asked you fools to do one job and you failed, just like all the other minions I have over the years...WHY IS THAT IF I WANT SOMETHING DONE I GOT TO DO IT MYSELF?!" Victor roared.
"Oh quit your whining, so we lost! Big deal, we're get Shira next time ether without your so called leading" Squint scoffed.
Victor gave Squint a dangerous glare as he grabs the bunny by the throat and growled
"You dare question my leadership?"
"We obeyed you and we failed...So you're not worth it" Squint gasped
"And this gives you power over me?" Victor hissed.
"What are you?" Squint chocked.
"I'm the end of all happiness...The truth destruction of everything the herd has...including yours" Victor growled,
"You're pure evil!"
"True but I'm not the one who's doomed here" Victor laughed evilly.
Soon he kills Squint and attacks the other pirates, wiping them all out one by one until they were all dead.
"Oh my god" Zeke whimpered in fear.
Victor evilly grins at the sabres and replied
"Dinner is served"
"Oh good! I'm starving" Lenny cheered.
"Not bad for a crazy wolf" Oscar smirked.
"Don't push your luck furball" Victor hissed.
Zeke was beginning to think that this is a bad idea as Victor evilly grins at him and said
"Zeke, Care to join?"
"N-No thanks, I'm fine" Zeke nervously chuckled.
Raz and Flynn has left the pirate crew
Fred and Ted are gone as the others had thier funeral
And the rest of the pirate crew is destroyed by the evil and insane Victor!
Zeke really is beginning to have second thoughts like Raz was too!
