I was journeying along with Captain Holly, Blackberry, Liu Kang and Kung Lao to discover of the warren of does. Bluebell, however, kept following us. Basically, he was contemplating to himself if he wanted to join with us, but really he was just to follow Blackberry and making sure he's taken care of.

"I'm sure Hazel said we should stay at the down, remember? Blackberry?" Bluebell told Blackberry. "Will Hazel be mad when he finds that we left? Blackberry!"

"I don't know." Blackberry answered.

"I'm sure he wouldn't mind. Besides with Sonya and Jax, and Nightwolf would look after the rabbits while we're gone." I added.

"I don't think he'll be too surprised if we left the warren without telling him." Liu Kang said.

"But when will you be back?" Bluebell continued to ask Blackberry. "Should I wait up for you?"

"No." Blackberry answered.

"Are you two really together?" Kung Lao questioned.

"We're inseparable. So that means we are together." Bluebell answered, before speaking to Blackberry again. "Will you promise you'll find somewhere safe to sleep." He tried to ask Captain Holly. "Make sure he finds somewhere safe to sleep."

"Bluebell, be quiet!" Blackberry exclaimed. "You've rabbited on so much that we've gone too far for you to go back now anyway."

"Oh no, this is a mistake. I've gone on an adventure by mistake." Bluebell began to regret that he wandered off with us. He looked back at the down, before he had no other choice. "I wonder how many does will be at this place." Bluebell chuckles. "Blackberry!"

"Oh brother." I shook my head, from Bluebell's last minute decision to join us. However, don't get me wrong throughout our journey to the down, he does great storytelling and always come up with a good set of jokes.

"If you're, you can't make jokes at inappropriate times." Blackberry said.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means you have a tendency to be a liability." Blackberry answered

"How dare you call me a liability?! I never even wanted to come along." Bluebell spoke. "Are you sure this is a good idea, Holly?"

"From what the bird said, it sounds like this warren has too many does. We'll just let them know that any who want to leave are welcome to join us, and there we go." Captain Holly answered.

"Let's just hope we don't stumble upon Shao Kahn and his army, if we're going to this new warren." I added.

"In that case, if we do, we'll just have to observe and than return back to the down to report back." Liu Kang summed up.

We than finished crossing a field that Captain Holly recognized the area. "There's the belt of woods Kehaar mentioned. We're halfway. We'll stop here for the night."

"Alright. If you meaning for the night, you meant by resting here for now, before heading out again." I spoke to him.

"That's what it is." he nodded.

"I still hope that Strawberry, Hawkbit and Dandelion will be okay back at the down." Blackberry hoped.

"They'll be fine." Liu Kang assured him. "Sonya and Jax, and Nightwolf are great warriors. They'll be able to defend them, in case there's a raid."

"Bluebell, what did they say when you told them we were leaving?" Blackberry asked Bluebell.

"Hmm... was that my job?" Bluebell wondered.

"You haven't told them that we're leaving?"

"Uhhhh... no." Bluebell simply answered, as Blackberry than sighed. Liu Kang and I looked at each other with concerned looks.

Kung Lao rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Never trust a rabbit with inappropriate jokes to do a simple task."

"Hey!"

Meanwhile, back at the down, Hawkbit and Dandelion were silflaying, and Strawberry was inspecting the warren. Sonya and Jax, and Nightwolf kept a watch of them nearby. Sonya attempts again to try to contact Special Forces, apparently nothing has happened for any contact, except static.

"No luck." Sonya spoke.

A gag, burp, and snort came from Kehaar, as he was still eating some of the worms and grubs from being given to by the six.

"Do you have any manners with you all?" Sonya questioned, as she became annoyed with the seagull's reluctance of matters.

"Hmmm... let me think for a bit here... no." he answered, before resuming eating.

"Maybe they left because they saw how Dandelion almost mortally wounded me." Hawkbit groaned.

"First of all, you're the one who started with the gossip of Dandelion going blind." Jax spoke out.

"Thank you." Dandelion thanked Jax.

"You than made it worst for yourself, rabbit. Putting deceased insects into Hawkbit's mouth." Nightwolf added.

"Oh, I'm so worried for them. I hope they're safe." Strawberry grew somewhat worried for the ones traveling to the Warren of Does.

"I'm sure Captain Holly, Blackberry and Bluebell are in good hands." Sonya assured her. "Liu Kang and Kung Lao are greatest warriors. Especially Liu Kang, winning two tournaments."

"You hope they're safe?" Hawkbit interrupted. "What about us? We've been abandoned. It's getting dark. We've no warren and there's a new type of elil-"

"Hawkbit, shut up." Sonya cut it. "Thomas assigned the three of us to look after you guys, until they come back. Or maybe better, when Hazel and his group return from the farm. I'm sure we'll be fine to last for another night, even if they haven't returned."

"Oh brambles, I've just had a great idea!" Strawberry than came up with an idea.

"What is that?" Sonya asked.

"Why don't we dig the warren? Imagine the others' faces, if when they return, we've built a place to sleep. A place to feel safe and warm. Oh, and cozy, it has to be cozy."

"And don't worry about digging the warren by yourself." Jax came towards and volunteered to help Strawberry. "My arms would definitely give you rabbits a hand to dug up some of the dirt."

"Agreed. I'll help you with that, while Hawkbit feeds Kehaar." Dandelion agreed, while he tries to marginalize Hawkbit.

"Why don't you feed Kehaar?!" Hawkbit argued.

"I don't know. Maybe I'm afraid he'll mortally wound me."

"Oh, will you two shut your-" Sonya had enough, but before she could reprimand the two bucks, Strawberry took over.

"Slugs in a burrow. Stop! All of us are going to work together to dig the warren. I don't want to hear another word out of you two, or we won't be friends anymore!"

Sonya was amazed on how Strawberry was able to get the two bucks under controlled. Nightwolf silently chuckled to himself. While Jax and Kehaar laughed. "Damn! You two lover bucks sure do have a way for these does here!"

"Hey, I was about to say something like that!" Kehaar exclaimed. "But yes, how could you resist such charm?" And so, Jax began to assist the rabbits of digging up a warren, as well as Nightwolf after morphing into his animality to join the help. Sonya remained on guard to make sure the digging crew has some protection. And for Kehaar... "Hey, wait, what about my worms?"

"Start finding some around near logs. We've just have enough of finding you bugs to feed you." Sonya stated.

As time goes by, the digging process was becoming more in progress than the first start, since the arrival. Nightwolf was assisting with Strawberry with two different parts of the tunnel, while Hawkbit and Dandelion, and Jax were digging from the front of the entrance. Hawkbit started to pant in exhaustion from the digging.

"Okay, yeah. I don't know why does think they're so good at digging." Hawkbit panted.

"We've been digging from the front for awhile, because you don't want to have dirt covered in your face!" Jax exclaimed. "And besides, don't you two think it's unfair to have the does dig the warren by themselves?"

"It's been that way for a long time, Jax." Dandelion answered. "It was our ways of thinking."

"Well... at least we got pretty far with this tunnel." Hawkbit than stated. "Um... maybe one of us should help Strawberry out since she's been digging on her own."

"Nightwolf is with her. I'm sure they'll be fin-" Before Jax could continue, a hole came from the blocked path to see Strawberry's face.

"Wow, nice tunnel. Okay, I think we're finished." Strawberry stated. "Nightwolf is just doing final touches around the tunnels."

Jax, Hawkbit and Dandelion were shocked to see how much Strawberry has done. "How did you two dig two tunnels in the time it took us to dig a little..."

The trio entered the burrow. Well, not just any burrow. It was a large burrow that it was able to fill the burrow with rabbits. "Sonya, you need to come see this!" Jax called out for Sonya. Nightwolf came into the burrow from one of the tunnels to see the burrow is standing.

"The roots are still intact to this burrow together." Nightwolf said.

"Yes indeed." Strawberry agreed. "The roots aren't as thick as the ones at Cowslip's Warren, so we had to leave some to hold up the roof."

"You two did a damn fine job." Jax complimented.

"No... it's mostly Strawberry with her talents of being a digging expert." Nightwolf commended Strawberry.

"Oh, brambles. I thought we could call it The Honeycomb." Strawberry came up with a name for this big burrow. "What do you think?"

"I... think it's incredible." Hawkbit agreed. "I think you've given us a place we can feel safe, Strawberry. I think you've given us a... a home."

"Well I be damned..." Sonya walked in with Hazel and the others behind her, as they started to fill up the whole burrow.

"This warren would definitely hold it's ground, in case Shao Kahn and his army attempt to dug up the warren." Raiden spoke.

"Yes... however that'll be in a time when we need our defenses to be set up." Hazel spoke.

"And which one of you had this idea of digging up the warren?" Bigwig wondered. "Hawkbit? Dandelion?"

The two looked at each other and didn't even answer to show him that it wasn't their idea. "I thought that we should dig up the warren, for everyone when you lot return." Strawberry spoke up.

Bigwig was amazed and of course impressed with Strawberry. "I must say that's a great work. Now that we have a warren." Strawberry smiled, as he smiled back. Hazel than looked around to see a few numbers are short.

"Where's Captain Holly, Blackberry and Bluebell?" Hazel questioned. "And Thomas?"

"As well as Liu Kang and Kung Lao?" Johnny Cage wondered.

"I think..." Sonya spoke up. "They ventured out to see a warren that there might be does."

"Oh no." Jade shook her head. "We've have to stop them."

"Why?" Hazel asked.

"I think they maybe in danger."
