Sorry to be so late. College was busy in the first semester but I'm back.

Chapter 21: Alliance and tough reunion.

Everyone gazed upon the call and it was Gin standing in a hill looking down at his army abusing Scout like they were a pack of criminals. He was so shocked at this that he wouldn't believe it if he didn't saw it with his own eyes. But he was also extremely angry at seeing this. Behind him was Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Kenshi, Robin and her butler. Some dogs advanced at seeing those guys but suddenly Gin gave an extremely fierce growl that could be heard all over Gajou making all dogs around to drop in fear of his presence. He started to walk down to where the dogs were surrounding Scout.

"What is the meaning of this? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" He said in unimaginable anger that made the dogs to shake from their fear. "When I walked up here, I thought that I would see my army behaving the way I always believed they behave. Instead I see THIS! Treating him like a nobody!

"But Gin sir…"started a dog.

"SILENCE!" ordered Gin making the dog to cover his face.

Gin helped Scout up and called for Sub-Zero to help him. Sub-Zero ran to aid Scout and carried him out of the crowd and went to a nearby lake to clean him from the blood and urine that the dogs inflicted to him. He also managed to close the neck wound for the moment until it he could find help for it. Gin looked around and saw Smith sitting with his head down letting some tears to fall. Gin approached to him with the same anger.

"And what says you, friend?" said Gin not changing his mood.

"I'm sorry Gin. I… I thought I did well by revealing his identity and let him be attacked, but… but seeing him like that made me feel bad. I didn't know what to do or what to think. I'm sorry I failed to you. I'm sorry." Said Smith crying from his shame.

Gin changed his mood and saw how confused Smith was, but then he looked deep down to him and saw he actually felt guilty and sad for hurting Scout the way he did. Gin decided to have compassion over Smith and spoke to his old friend calmly.

"It's okay Smith, you were confused and you feel bad about, I will forgive you. Get inside and take the day off. You must be tired." Said Gin trying to comfort Smith.

"Yes Gin. Thank you." Smith wiped his tears and went inside Gajou to do what he was suggested to do, rest.

"As for all of you, there are no words that can describe the monstrosity of what I just witnessed. I thought you knew better but you went and did this. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. I can't even look at all of you right now." Gin stared at his army with disgust of the display they did. "We will talk about this later, all of you, you are dismissed." He ordered as the army walked back to Gajou. "Except for you three. Ruby, Cherrypie and GB. You will stay here with the guys behind me and you will wait until Sub-Zero brings Scout back. No questions."

"But Gin…" said Ruby until she was cut off.

"No questions." He firmly stated as Ruby sighted defeated.

Sub-Zero brought Scout healed but he was still a limping from the pain in his bones. Scout wasn't looking at neither of them while he approached to Gin silently.

"Robin step up here." Said Gin.

"Yeah, yeah." Answered Robin while she sited on the other side.

"Scout do you want to say something?" asked Gin calmly.

"No, they won't believe me anyways." Scout said without making eye contact.

"Why would be, you are a liar, a monster, an abusive son of a bitch, that doesn't care about anyone but yourself. You know you deserve more pain and I'm glad it hurt because you deserve it. I don't even know why I am talking to you, you are a nobody that wants to be seen like a someone. YOU SHOULD JUST DIE HERE!" She raised her tone and bare here teeth as she kept talking.

"YOU SHOULD JUST ROT IN HELL!" screamed Cherrypie while GB just stood there glaring at Scout.

Scout was starting to cry but talked fast to excuse himself.

"Let's just stop. I want to be alone for a while please." He said breaking his voice and walking away fast to avoid crying in front of them.

"Scout hang on!" screamed Gin to try and make him turn. "What is the matter with you?! You have broken his heart far enough I won't tolerate this from you."

"Brake his heart? He has no heart, he is a monster!" said Ruby.

"I had enough of you three calling him a monster. He is still a living being that deserves some love, he still has feelings, like everyone else here. Except for Scorpion. But he is still someone. The reason I tried to get you close to him was to let you know that he has no fault of what happened to you." Said Gin in a stern voice.

"No fault? After what he did to me while I was pregnant." Said Cherrypie.

"If you think we should forgive him, then you are insane." Said GB.

"You have to forgive him because he hasn't done anything to you. The reason he did this was because miss demon here possessed him." Said Gin.

"Possess, you really think we are going to fall for that?" said Ruby.

"Wow. I can't believe how selfish and arrogant you three had become. You think I'm playing a childish game isn't. You are really foolish to call yourselves dogs after the way you treated him for something he hasn't done by will. He never dares to touch a pregnant dog like that. When we were in the Koga territory he treated the pregnant dogs with respect like a real gentle dog. He even cried knowing he would never see his nephews and nieces. The reason he became Aisu was just to see you grow and see your pups, knowing he would never hold them or even talk to them. Knowing that you wouldn't let him near you. It was a foolish thing to do of him, but it was the only way he had to stay close to his family and be there to see the puppies' faces. That only tells me how much he really love and cares about them and you. He accepted his punishment just so he could make you happy even though he felt sad and alone. IF THAT'S NOT LOVE THEN WHAT IS THAT?!" screamed Gin feeling Scout's pain. "WHAT IS THAT?! Let me tell you something, he is a bigger dog than the three of you are, no dog sacrifices a lot and accepts unfair hatred and pain just to make someone he loves happy. I haven't seen any dog take that much of pain than him. And to receive it day, after day, after day, and after day, a normal dog would just crawl back begging to be forgiven and accepted once again. But he endured months like this. And I won't let you three keep hurting him. If you have anything else to say, say something." Gin stated to them while they went fully silent of all Gin told them. "I will go talk to my son and the rest of the pack and I hope you three patch things up with Scout when I get out."

Gin walked away ending his conversation while the rest followed him. Scorpion looked back for a moment and saw that they were with their heads lowered. He kept on walking to follow Gin. As they kept walking they bumped to Jerome and some of the other dogs.

"Gin, you are back." Jerome said while staring at the ninjas and the two wolves standing behind Gin. He backed away a little.

"Relax guys, they came here to work things out. Without violence in the way of course." Gin said making Jerome to fell more relaxed. "This guys are Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Kenshi, Robin and her butler." He introduced them properly as the ninjas bowed and Robin just stood there and her butler waved his paw smiling.

"Why are they here?" asked Sasuke being a little afraid.

"I think is a long story, I can explain." Said Scorpion as he explained all the events that happened since he got to Ohu. The dogs reached to understand everything and believed all of it since Gin backed it up and confirmed that he could recall all of it. "So really I apologize for my behavior but I just was trying to protect myself. Although I had a mission from the Elder that he requested and it was to find Tesshin and let him know that he hopes to see you sometime when you can."

"The Elder wants me? I must visit him soon and quick." Tesshin said.

"There's no hurry, it just a visit, it's all he requires from you." Said Scorpion.

"Sorry to interrupt but, Scorpion why can't I see your face?" asked Batto.

"You will know when the time is right." Said Scorpion.

"So do you agree on our agreement of this truce?" asked Jerome.

"MAH BOI, this peace is what all true warriors strive for!" said Sub-Zero.

"Besides there's a situation that needs to be discussed but we need your leader." Said Scorpion.

"I'll get him." Said Gin.

Gin walked straight to meet with Weed until he reached his son's location. Weed was laying down in the ground.

"Hey son." Gin said making Weed to turn around.

"Father you came back alive!" Weed ran to hug his father.

"Of course I'm alive." Said Gin.

"But how did you escaped the humans?" asked Weed.

"Well I didn't escaped, it turns out that these humans are good after all. I was at the Koga territory and they treated me just fine. Well it was a little hard to accept that fact, but the Elder said to trust them and I did. We walked back over here to make sure we reach an agreement to never attack each other. And to help Scout." Said Gin a little sad mentioning Scout.

"Why Scout?" Weed asked but without being threatening.

"Well he was the real victim, it turns out he was possess by Robin a demon wolf who is also Scorpion's friend but good, she do stuff like this but they always show her who's boss keeping her trapped so it's fine. But that possession she did for fun was the thing that made him treat Cherrypie violently. I came to resolve this but your army was beating him up to death." Said Gin.

"What?" asked Weed shocked.

"Yeah but I will talk to them and to you about it later of how wrong that was." Gin said seriously.

"Yeah I'm sorry for thinking like that, I was so angry that all I could think was vengeance and hatred. I got blinded by it, that's all my fault." Weed said feeling guilty for all that has happened.

"It's okay, you'll apologize to them and they will apologize to him and the others." Gin said forgiving his son.

"Thanks father, I won't let you down." Weed said smiling at Gin.

"Right now Scorpion needs you in the meeting room he said there's somethings we need to discuss that I think you may know as well." Gin commented.

"Let's go then. It must be urgent." Said Weed running out as Gin followed.

They both arrived to the meeting room and all of Weed's and Gin's friend were present except for Cherrypie, Ruby, GB and the rest of the army.

"We are here, and we need to talk about some stuff that is going to need a lot of attention." Said Gin.

"Right. The reason we decided to make our appearance was to make an agreement to be allies from this point and on and that's because we have encounter a strange activity lately. You may have seen some dead corpses of old dogs in a place, now by the look on your faces you know too, but as for who is behind it is unknown for us as well. But as far as we can see, this being is trying to lure us to a trap, so we need to stay low until he or she decides to show its face at last. In the time being it would be preferable to prepare a plan just to be ready for whatever is coming. We don't know how long it will take but we have both short and long time to be prepared. Let's hope we have at least half time at least." Said Scorpion.

"That's true, well I need to talk to my team anyways so we better get done with it." Said Weed as he departed to demand a reunion.

(Scout's POV)

Scout sat in the hill all by himself just to stay away from his life barrier and feel a little appreciated by nature itself. Cherrypie walked up to the same hill and without looking at him she sited by his side.

"I see you are looking at the sky. It is beautiful, (sighs) Scout, maybe you won't forgive me now but I was thinking of what Gin said and he was right. We have been too selfish and arrogant and very unfair to you. I guess I deserve that you ignore me but I was the monster here. You did nothing and yet you decided to accept a punishment that you shouldn't have suffered. I pushed you away of the family and now I see how wrong I was to make judgment of you. I betrayed you and you suffered everything. This shouldn't never happened. Now I'm talking to you trying to gain (sobs)… forgiveness and… and…" she started to cry without finishing.

Scout hugged her to comfort his sister. As he began to cry too.

"I'm sorry Scout! I'm sorry!" she said in between tears remembering how she neglected and hurt her brother before out of anger and finally letting him be in a room of her heart, all she could think is the pain and suffering she must had put him through.

Ruby cried and joined the hug and apologized thinking the same things that Cherrypie was thinking. His hard time alone and isolated from his family. Scout felt a big warmth in his heart knowing that all that hatred and rejection towards him was gone. Ruby gave in and allowed herself to be his girlfriend again but until he feels ready to be with her again. She now wants to give him the space and time for him to feel fully accepted. Scout felt his heart coming together and smiled knowing that this was over at last. They separated and sniffed from all this and smiled at each other.

"I really missed you guys so much. Thank you." He said happily.

"You really deserved a second chance, we were the ones wrong about you." Ruby said smiling weakly.

Scorpion saw the whole thing since he wanted them to join the meeting. Sub-Zero smiled under his mask since he followed Scorpion, Scout saw them and saw Sub-Zero giving him a thumbs up.

"You did it kid, you made it happen." Said Sub-Zero even though Scout couldn't hear him.

"We knew he could make it." Agreed Scorpion.

Scout went to their direction and he was followed by Ruby, Cherrypie and GB.

"We need you four at the meeting room, but we waited until you finished." Said Scorpion.

"Thanks guys. You two and Kenshi believed in me the whole time, I don't know what I would have done without you." He said as they all went to the meeting room.

(General POV)

They arrived in time after Gin finished talking to his army about what he wanted to discuss with them and then he started to let Scorpion speak the news.

"With that out of the way, I will let you with my friend Sub-Zero." Gin said letting Sub-Zero in the top as Scorpion stood by his side.

"Thanks Gin. As you all know, we have formed an alliance and the Koga dogs are glad to aid us thanks to Kenshi here. The purpose of this meeting is to start working together for the sake of your beloved Gajou and for yours as well. We have discover a hidden enemy trying to make contact to us by showing us corpses of old dogs and using these carcasses to lure us out into a possible trap. We are being called for a battle and they are making fun of you and your home. Well it is time that we put aside this small difference we have. Yes we have powers while you don't, but that's what makes this army pure and fit for the fight, no matter how different we are you fight like a team. Batto gathered some Intel for us, our enemy is Ratchet and he is a very evil dog leading a group of Koga exiles. Very strong and very big in numbers. He is well protected, but with the right team and the right confidence, we can push through those defenses and hit him back right before he hit us. To save the young ones captive and to save the old ones that are being executed. We will stand in the battlefield and we will fight to protect this place from evil and we will let him know what Ohu is all about! WE WILL MAKE HISTORY THIS TIME BECAUSE WE ARE PROTECTORS OF THIS FOREST!" screamed Sub-Zero making all the dogs to scream in motivation.

The army was pumped and as soon as Sub-Zero finished the plan was in session. Meanwhile far in the forest Ratchet and his army where making their way to Ohu ready to make a battle in a matter of days.

And it stops right here. See you on the next Chapter.
