Bolt carried Penny and Dr. Forrester deeper into the marshy island. He had no idea Gus was stalking after them. And neither of them realized they were being watched by a party of scouts. Until they were right on top of them, that is. An animal with the symbol of an arrow on its head rolled down the hill towards Bolt… only to crash right into Gus as the wolfdog jumped over Bolt and attacked him. In Gus' eyes, only he was allowed to fight his enemy. Another scout jumped out from his hiding place, but no sooner had he, Gus had leapt on him too. Gus selected another scout and shoved him down into the bog. The scout leader stepped forward to fight the wolfdog, but it was hardly a fair fight with Gus flashing his viscus fluid.
"Right I guess I'm the scout leader now." Said one of the scouts who was promptly torched. The others ran off. Gus looked around but Bolt had made his escape. With a snort, Gus stalked off after him. It wasn't hard to follow people in this bog and Bolt had left his foot prints everywhere.
Gus eventually found Bolt. However it also appeared that some other animals had found Bolt too. Gus jumped over the American Sheppard and right into the path of a rolling scout. Another scout was already barrelling towards them as Gus recovered from the shock and he barely had time to get to his feet before he crashed into the next scout. Then the lead scout stepped forward to fight him, but Gus torched him before any fighting could be done. Then Gus battled with another scout and Bolt slinked away. The other scouts ran off and Gus was hot on their heels. They ran into another party of scouts and one of them rolled down the hill towards Gus. Gus crashed into him and then the next one who rolled his way. The leader of the scouts stepped forward to fight him, but Gus burned him with a plasma blast.
"Well I guess I'm the lead scout now." Said one of the scouts. Gus then torched him too. The other scouts ran away to hide. Gus chased after them.
"Where are you?" he taunted. One ran at him but Gus jumped straight at him and slammed him up against the wall. "Where's your leader?" he growled.
"The higher ranks are through there…" the scout pointed and then fell limp. Gus dropped him and headed down into the area indicated. In a room he spotted one of the hunters and growling, he ran into the room. He could tell that this animal clearly held some power over the others. It seemed as if the guys he'd faced before were lower ranking ones and this was one of the mid ranking ones. It also seemed like they really liked metal.
"Let's see how he likes THIS!" thought Gus as he began picking up various metal bits around the room and throwing them at him. The hunter tried to put up a fight but eventually he ran away. Gus followed him into another area and began to do the same thing. Until a scout jumped out from nowhere and he was stalled for a second as he tangled with him. However eventually Gus crushed the hunter beneath a chunk of metal. Gus suddenly realized how carried away he'd gotten.
"Bolt…? Where'd you go?" he called out and headed off to find the super dog.
