Ok, I am very sorry if last chapter was rushed you guys, I lost track of time and my parents were trying to kick me off while I was writing it. So to make up for it I am going to give you guys a nice fluffy chapter. LoL Koichi I'm glad you got my humor in making Manny a rat. As for your observation about Chaud and Lan, yes, they will revert back to normal when night comes. In reality, a real solar/lunar eclipse only lasts about, maybe 8 minutes at the most, but in the world of Lycanthropes, even if the eclipse is gone, its effect lasts until night comes. You are right about Solarists, they are the worst of the five categories because while you can work with a werewolf every month to teach it control even during a full-moon, you can't necessarily do that with a snake or crocodile even if they have perfect control when there isn't an eclipse, you can't train them to learn control during an eclipse because you never know when they are coming. A Solarist only knows when they are coming 24 hours before it happens, and that is not enough time for preparation. So, no more learning, I'll do the recap and get on with the story, which is almost done! Recap: We met Manuske, a very brainy wererat, who told Raika just how dangerous Solarists are in a group. So Raika gathered a team consisting of Manny, the twins, and all the netnavis and they went to the Underground to rescue Chaula, Bass, and Protias. Is Chaula going to be ok? Where are the others? And what about the Solarists? Are they going to get out? Let's find out!

--------------------------------( I get so tired of typing these lines.)------------------------

Raika ran through the exit, occasionally stopping and doing a Terra-Stomp to prevent any unwanted followers. He got to the entrance to the Underground and opened, it, rushing outside. His arrival was so unexpected that everyone near the tree yelped in surprise. As soon as he closed the door, he trotted forward.

"We have to get home, now! Come on!" Raika said as Dingo climbed onto his back. The door to the Underground opened again and Roll, Meddy, and Leo popped out. Maylu and Jasmine got onto the backs of their navis and Dex climbed onto the lion and as soon as everyone was set Raika took off running. They ran through the town, jumping over anyone who got in their way, and made their way to Blaze Reserve's, where they saw The others already arriving there. "Open the gate or I'll take it down!" Raika commanded. A bunch of little wolves came out from the forest and opened the gate just as Raika and the others got to it. One of them, a little black wolf, ran alongside him.

"What's wrong Rai-Rai? Where's sissy?" It asked in a little girl's voice.

"She got into another fight, so stay back." Raika said as the tiny wolf stopped. He approached the door and went inside, Bass had left it open. Dingo got off of Raika when he started to change back, while going up the stairs more gracefully than he should have.

He rushed into the open door that led to Chaula's room and stopped when he got to her bed. She laid there, still in her wolf form, unmoving. She had cuts all over her body that bled. She had a couple of very deep puncture wounds that showed she had been bitten by one of the weresnakes. Raika said nothing. How could he? This was the little wolf cub who pulled him out of a blizzard when he was just a fawn. This was the wolf cub who took on a fully grown and desperate werewolf in his defense, when she was 10 times smaller than her opponent. This was the wolf cub who spent all morning the next day trying to pick up the scent of his mother and then offered them and his uncle a home at the Reserve. And now here she laid, bruised and beaten and bloody. She moaned and opened her eyes just slightly, not speaking and not looking, and it was only thanks to his training that he didn't break down right there.

He forced himself to take his eyes off of her and he went to her closet, opening it and pulling out a really huge white box. Bass came over and helped him pick it up, setting it down by her desk. Raika clicked a lock on the box and it opened up, the lid flipped back as a rack of colorful test-tubes shot out of the box. Multiple shelves lined with different stones and metals appeared from below the box and at the bottom of the box were an array of empty containers of all sizes. He looked at Jasmine as he took out a test-tube filled with a gold powder.

"How much do you know about Lycanthrope medicine?" He asked her as he pulled out a needled syringe filled with a clear liquid. Jasmine and Meddy stepped forward.

"We know enough to be able to help her, tell us what you need." Jasmine responded. Raika nodded and walked over to Chaula, injecting the liquid into her. Chaula quieted down and her eyes closed again, showing she was fully unconscious.

"We need to work fast, I don't know how DeoBane will react with the weresnake venom." Raika said going back to the desk. They took only the test-tubes and metals that had a gold color and they came in various forms, powders and liquids and solid forms, you name it they had it. They mixed them into one of the empty containers and when they had a thick liquid, they added some plants to it, stirring it.

A few hours later.

"Ngh, where am I?" Chaula mumbled as she struggled to open her eyes. She felt something warm and soft against her ear as something hard brushed against her cheek.

"Raika, wake up, Chaula is awake." A voice said. She scrambled around in her head to remember who it was.

"Chaula, Chaula are you alright?" Another familiar voice asked. Chaula blinked slowly, her eyes trying to adjust to the light and color.

"I-I'm not sure." She said. Her vision suddenly came back to her and she looked around. She saw her room, she was home. She looked behind her and saw that Bass was laying under her head, being her pillow. He must've been the thing that was touching her. She looked to her side and saw Raika kneeling down, his hands on the side of her bed. He must've been the voice that was asking her if she was alright. "Oh, my head, I feel like I've just crashed into a wall. And I'm tasting metal." She said, licking around her mouth to get rid of the taste.

"Oh thank god." Raika said. He pulled her into a hug and held her tightly as if he was afraid she would disappear if he let her go. Chaula was shocked at first but she slowly relaxed in his grip and nuzzled his chest. They stayed like this for a couple minutes when Chaud walked into the room.

"I-is she ok now Raika?" He asked nervously. Raika let her go and looked at Chaud, nodding.

"Just be careful with her. I'll be right back." Raika said, leaving the room. Chaula breathed deeply and allowed herself to revert back to human form. She looked much better than when she came home. Chaud sighed and walked to the bed, sitting down at the foot of the bed.

"I am really sorry I did that to you. That's the second time I've hurt someone close to me." Chaud put his head in his hands and shut his eyes tightly. Chaula struggled to get up, and, with Bass's help, she hugged Chaud tightly.

"You couldn't help it, don't be so hard on yourself. At least I'm ok. Don't worry little brother." She said comfortingly to him. He nodded and hugged his cousin back.

"Thank you. I'll come see you later." He said as he got up and walked out of the room. Raika came in with some warm drinks and set them down on the nightstand next to the bed. Chaula wrapped her arms around him, pulling him into the bed with her.

"Thank you Raika." Was all she said as she laid down. Raika looked at the clock and saw it was very late. He looked back at Chaula and got up.

"I'll be right back again." He said and he went back to his room with no complaint from Chaula. He quickly changed into his pajamas and grabbed his PET. Walking back into Chaula's room, he set his PET in a charger next to Chaula's and Searchman and Protias watched him climb into bed with her. "You look like you need a hug." He said, repeating the words she said to him the day they met. Chaula smiled and yawned as Raika moved the blanket over him and Chaula. "Goodnight Bass." Raika said as he laid his head against the griffin. He wrapped his arms around Chaula and they both relaxed into a peaceful sleep. Bass smiled as he looked at the navis, turning off the lights.

"Goodnight guys." He repeated as he draped a wing over the sleepers and went into a deep sleep of his own.
