Handsome Rowdyfoot, Topaz, Fang, Carrot Cake, two wolves named Howl and Fall Leaf, a snow leopard named Fierce, and I stood in a line.
We were the front lines. We were the ones delving into battle, claws extended, fangs bared, all our energy devoted to the fighting part. We were the bravest, strongest, fastest, smartest… Most of us.
I wasn't really sure what I was doing up there, to be honest. I had hooves that could knock out a Phantom in one hit, but I wasn't good at using them. And I might've been fast, but I didn't know how to use that to my advantage in a fierce battle. But Fierce, who was supposedly a great judge of character, chose me from the front lines.
Behind us were the slightly slower, less dangerous creatures. The other two snow leopards, Lilac and Silver, were two such animals. Next to them was Snickety Fastclaws, Snowy, a wolf named Stream, a crocodile named Dragon's Fire, and the two otters, Splash and Flippers.
At the very back were Rosy and Spider, the two bunnies, as well as Orchid. Protecting them were three wolves named Moon, Oak, and Birdsong. Fang had put them there, hoping to use the fierce and brave wolves as a last resort in a struggling battle. If all else failed, if the Phantoms captured all of the Jammers and Guard members, the three wolves at the very edge of the trees had sworn that they would fight no matter what. And Rosy, Orchid, and Spider? They were messengers. If the battle went wrong, they would hide in the trees and bring word to the Alphas.
We had a plan. We would pull through.
No matter what happened.
