Meanwhile, as the power started to transfer to different individuals, Aaron and Alex woke up from their formation and noticed that there was a dark power within. Aaron, not knowing what to do, decided to go toward the light.
"Erin, wait!" Emily called.
Aaron looked towards Emily and knew that he may or may not make it during today.
"You don't have to do this."
"If I don't, then all of us will die."
"Then, promise me this: come back to me."
Aaron, knowing that he cannot keep his promise, went towards her for a kiss to remember.
"I will."
He ran towards the group to stop the attack. Alex, who just recently woke up, noticed that the power was the exact power he feared to overcome. As he looked down, he noticed that Aaron was running towards the power. He would reply to him, but Aaron wouldn't respond.
"This is it!" Eugene replied as the full power was in him.
"Excellent, Massster." Cobra replied.
"Now that I have the power, there is no need for assistance."
"What do you mean?"
"I have no use for you anymore."
The power started to destroy the Cobra all around him and was turned into dust. The boys noticed this power and knew that they can't stop him from destroying this even with their own power. The cougar looked at the boys and the mother herself.
"Why would I waste my power when I can destroy the one who banished me in the first place?"
Eugene, with full of power inside, felt so invincible that he intended to activate and abuse the power inside. The bolt marks of the cougar started to grow within his fur and his eyes which would have glowed white, ended up growing black as night. The spirit within him grew black as the night sky and his power started to grow larger and larger. As the dark power started to form from the marks, he aimed towards the queen and attacked.
"Stop!" Aaron cried.
All of them looked and noticed that Aaron's heart was speaking inside and allowed him and his spirit to combine their powers as one. In just a few moments, a lightning bolt from the heavens fell towards the ground and struck the pup. All of them feared that he may have died, but as they looked closely: the pup was transforming as well, but not as what he or his inner spirit was before. They have formed into something even greater than ever: an ultra white wolf.
"Impossible." Alan replied.
"No wolf can transform power such like that." Abraham stated.
"There is," Adam replied. "the Legendary Archibald S Atticus, our great-great grandfather."
"I thought that was a myth," Alpha inquired
"It was," Starlight stated, "but according to legend, two powerful creatures, your great-great grandfather and his inner voice, combined their magic from within and used the inner power together."
"Wow"
"According to legend," continued Starlight, "when evil rises with rage, the light will conquer evil for good. Your great-great grandfather was successful, but in the end, he-"
Starlight stopped for a s moment and realized something.
"What is it Starlight?" Adam asked.
"It's just a legend though, but your great-great grandfather ended up losing his soul and joined the leaders from the past and was never heard from again."
"What?!" the boys stated at once.
"If Aaron was able to use this magic, . . ." Adam replied.
". . . would he lose his soul as well?" Alpha continued.
"That may be, but that's just legend, right?" Abraham asked.
"I don't know." Starlight answered.
From a distance, Alex, May and Emily noticed the strike and noticed his transformation.
"Aaron." Alex replied softly.
Eugene noticed his transformation as well and walked towards the light.
"Well, well, well," he replied, "an old foe of mine. Archibald S. Atticus."
Aaron finally transformed and became his great-great grandfather's soul into his own soul.
"You've gone far enough, Eugene." Aaron replied in Archibald's voice. "This power only leads you to destruction."
Eugene laughed an evil laugh.
"What about you? You never cared about your people. You only thought about yourself."
"I have not. I cared so much for my people, that I had to lose my soul for another soul to continue. I had no other choice."
"If you were able to stop me now, then you are too late. My power has been absorbed and I will rule this land for all eternity."
"No. If you intend to rule this land, then your reign will end by me."
Archibald's eyes formed white as snow and his fur was white flames, while Eugene's eyes formed black and his fur was black flames. They both prepared to fight and rage started to form. The fight became so deadly that the trees started to die and the ground about them started to break in pieces. The power started to become entirely severe that neither one of them wanted to break the fight.
Finally, the fight started to cease that the two rivals started to die down. Both Archibald and Eugene started to fall towards the ground, but still intended to continue forward.
"A strong fighter, you are," Archibald replied, "but not enough to rule this kingdom."
"Same for you." Eugene stated.
"I am going to destroy you once and for all."
"Not if I destroy you first."
Eugene placed all of the power from inside and towards Archibald's heart. At the same time, Archibald's power went straight towards the sky and towards Eugene's heart as well. Just before his power went towards him, sadly, Eugene struck him down towards the heart.
"No!" Alex cried.
Archibald started to fall towards the ground in defeat. Emily, May, and the entire wolf clan watched as he fell dead in his tracts
"Separate" were the last words from Archibald's voice.
By saying those words, the power from the white lightning struck as hard as possible in the air and went straight towards Eugene. In a defeated cry, Eugene was destroyed, allowing all of the power to return back to its normal state. The power of the queen was restored, even the creatures that refused to pay the price was awaken from slumber. Everyone rejoiced, well, almost everyone. Alex, running towards his own brother from the fog, noticed that he was unable to find him anywhere.
"Aaron!" he cried, "Aaron, where are you?"
Both him, the family, and Emily started to look for him, but he was nowhere in sight. Finally, Emily stumbled on something that seemed very much like a dog. She looked and noticed that there laid Aaron on the ground.
"Aaron? Aaron, please. Please get up." she cried.
There was no movement. All of the group found Emily sitting by Aaron in tears. She felt so heartbroken that she laid down close to him and cried next to him. All of the wolves looked and noticed that Aaron was no longer able to awake at all. In sorrows, all of the wolves kneeled to Aaron and Emily. The queen walked towards her and sat by her side.
"I'm sorry, ma'am." Tabitha replied sadly. "I know he really meant so much to you."
"He did. I-I don't know what to do anymore since he is gone." Emily stated as she wept.
"He's still with us in spirit." she quietly replied.
What they didn't know was that Aaron's spirit, still alive in one piece, was actually walking to the location of where they were. His father Astro was sitting the side and noticed that he too watched the sad remarks. They both heard the conversation from a distance.
"If only I haven't been so hard on him, this wouldn't have happened." the queen replied.
"If he was awake one more time," Emily stated, "I would tell him how much he meant for me. If he hadn't saved me from the fire, I wouldn't be here."
"He saved you?"
Emily nodded.
"He's just like his father. I too was saved as well when I was your age."
Emily looked at the queen and lightly placed her head on her chest. Shocked as she was, the boys noticed that a dog, who was their main enemy would be kind enough to place her head on the queen.
"There, there," the queen stated as she placed her paw on her back.
"Mom? Are you doing what I think you are doing?" Alpha replied.
"Has she declared peace?" Adam asked.
"Only the queen will decide."
"From this day forth," the queen commanded, "the dogs and wolves are now able to live life in peace."
As she stated this, a few dogs who fled from the wedding, walked towards the area.
"What do you mean: dogs and wolves are now able to live in peace?" one of the dogs asked.
"We thought of you dogs as evil." Abraham explained, "however, we were wrong."
"So?"
"So now, we decided to ask for forgiveness."
All of the dogs looked at each other and towards them. How could they ever forgive their enemy?
"I already forgave you." Emily replied.
The dogs looked at her and she walked towards them.
"I do too." May replied as she stood by Alexander.
Just like that, one by one, every single one of them went towards the wolf clans to provide peace. Some refused their forgiveness and walked away, but most of them forgave them.
