Captain Holly took the head start, while Bigwig and Hazel were catching up to him. They managed to dug underneath a fence and managed to travel onward. They passed through a field of a war torn like field, as there was nothing alive, except death. The rabbits couldn't believe this had happened to the human world as well.

"By Frith... those Outworlders did this?" Bigwig couldn't believe what he's seeing.

"Just like how it's happening to our world." Captain Holly added.

"Remember, humans destroy us. I guess they destroy themselves too." Hazel reminded.

"You wouldn't say everyone. What about the humans, who are protecting us?" Captain Holly questioned.

"Captain Holly, you can't be serious about trusting these humans too much!" Bigwig criticized.

"I only say about the humans, who have been helping us." Captain Holly turned turned back towards Hazel. "Perhaps Clover was right, and I'm sure she told you, Hazel-rah... 'they just lack understanding'."

Hazel was still in the mix emotions about the humans that destroy rabbits, while some humans intent to keep them safe like Thomas and The Earthrealm Warriors. He than remembered the personalities that Thomas showed to him and to the rest of the rabbits. "You're right. It's just..."

"What is it, Hazel-rah?" Captain Holly asked.

"It's just that seeing humans as destroyers could be tiring, even if there are humans that don't harm us." Hazel answered. "Let's just find Thomas and hopefully we're not too late."

The trio continued to find any tracks or scents of Thomas, as they managed to leave the fields. They arrived on the road and they attempt to sniff out for him there too. At first they couldn't find any luck of finding him. Captain Holly spotted a destroyed hrududu. The burning flames were ceased, except smoke bellows into the air. He found blood stains on the road tracks. He began sniffing it for scent and started to find a trail of scattered blood. A body not far from him, was on his sights. He than remembered it was the body that was viewed from the woods earlier.

"Thomas!" Captain Holly dashed over to the body.

"Holly, wait! We don't know who could it be!" Bigwig tried to stop him, as Hazel joined. After the two caught up with Holly, he began to sniff at the body and recognized the face right away.

"It is Thomas!" Captain Holly couldn't believe it. "He's been shot!"

"I found something!" Captain Holly exclaimed.

Hazel and Bigwig hurried over towards him. "What is it, Holly?" Bigwig asked.

"Thomas was here! He must have escaped from the fiery hrududu and the blood trails ahead."

Bigwig sniffed for scent. "He must be close. He couldn't gone too far."

Captain Holly scouted a bit ahead to follow the blood trails, until he saw someone on the ground. He hurried over to the body, slowly approached towards him, sniffed him, until he recognized him. "It's Thomas! I found him!"

Hazel and Bigwig hurried over to see Thomas was unconscious. They got close to see if he was breathing. "He's not breathing, Holly." Bigwig confirmed. Captain Holly gently started to roll Thomas over and listened to his heart.

"His heart still beating." Captain Holly confirmed.

"There's no way, he could survive a firing stick." Bigwig disbelieved.

Hazel went towards Thomas' ears. "Thomas. Thomas, can you hear me?"

"Thomas. It's Hazel, Bigwig, and Holly. We're to help you. Can you hear us?" Captain Holly attempted to wake Thomas up.

I began to hear voices in my head, as if someone was trying to call for me. I slowly began to open my eyes and having blurry vision, as I saw a rabbit head shape. I opened my eyes repetitively until I saw Captain Holly.

"Captain Holly?"

"Yes brother. It's me. Thank Firth and his messengers! We thought we lost you there." Captain Holly was relieved.

"We?" I questioned and turned to see Hazel and Bigwig. "Hazel. Plump Rabbit."

Hazel and Captain Holly couldn't help, but chuckle. "My name is-"

"I know your name is Bigwig." I said weakly. "It's a fun nickname to call you once in awhile."

"Don't try to make it as a habit." Bigwig kindly warned me.

"Or you'll have Bluebell's humor." Captain Holly joked.

I than started to remember that I was back home to find my family. "My family! Where's my fam-" I felt a sting of pain on my chest.

"Save your strength brother." Captain Holly gently held me down, as Hazel and Bigwig supported, as the trio laid me back down. "You're too weak."

"I saw the flames and my family were burning!" I panicked.

Captain Holly looked at the pyres to see the burning corpses. He than went into a remorse. "Thomas... you're family is gone."

"What?!"

"Your family stopped running." he sadly stated.

"No... you're lying." I didn't want to believe it.

"I know you don't to hear those words, but it's true. I'm sorry."

I began to tear up, as Captain Holly came to me for comfort. "I have no one now! I killed them!"

"No brother!" Captain Holly told me. "Shang Tsung murdered your family, including Farid and Efrafa. Never blame yourself of your family's demise."

I clanged onto his fur, as my tears fell upon him while he soothed me. We than heard footsteps coming towards, as Hazel and Bigwig were ready to defend me, as well as Captain Holly. The four of us looked to see it was Hanzo and Nightwolf.

"I apologize for your loss." Hanzo offered condolences, as well as Nightwolf.

"You two have a nerve to show up to help your kind in a need!" Captain Holly angrily stated.

"We were sent here, by Raiden." Nightwolf told us. "Hanzo only came in paths and informed about what happened."

"I only arrived after I found you on the ground." Hanzo added. "Apparently, they didn't murder your family entirely."

The four of us looked at him with shock. "What do you mean, I saw them being burned alive at the stake!"

"Yes. That's true, but I than saw one young child. She was than taken from the building. She was a very young child. Perhaps one of your sisters."

I than started to remember my youngest adopted sister. "Katie... Katie!" I than started to remember. "She might be alive! I haven't seen her-" Before I could try to stand up, I groaned in pain that it knocked me back down, as the rabbits attempted to catch fall.

"Don't get too excited, brother. You're in pain." Captain Holly reminded me.

"He's in no condition to leave, until he's healed." Hazel stated. "We need to find somewhere that he could rest, until he's healed."

"We can't stay here! We may even be hunted by those Outworlders!" Bigwig protested. "We have to return to our warren!"

"If we travel, he may suffer greater pain." Nightwolf informed Bigwig. "We could find somewhere in the woods where no one could him there."

"Outworld has already obliterated much of Earthrealm except your warren." Hanzo added.

"Perhaps our complex." I weakly suggested.

"Where?" they asked.

"Where I lived. My family and I lived in a barrack not far from the main hall."

The rabbits and the humans looked back at each other and agreed. "Very well, can you walk?"

"I could try." I tried standing up, but I started to stubble a bit. Nightwolf and Hanzo caught my fall.

"Just show us where you live and we'll rest there until you're fully recovered." Captain Holly told me.

"Keep going ahead... I'll let you know."

We started to head towards my family barrack. As we make a pass through the main hall complex, I could smell dead, burnt flesh from my family being still tied into the stakes, that I couldn't look away. Captain Holly urged me to look away from the sight, but I couldn't. I just couldn't from the fact that my family was murdered and my youngest sister was abducted by Shang Tsung. It took a few walks to pass through other barracks, until we arrived to my family's. Our barrack was appeared to be raided that it was somewhat destroyed. When we opened the door, I could see the living room was in ruined in mess. My heart aches to see our home was destroyed. My heart ached terrible that the pain started to come back from my wound. I was than set down on a couch in the living room, where I was being lied down. Hanzo was ready to leave, as he would inform Raiden and eventually spread the message to our friends back at the down that I'm alive.

The pain got worst that I started to feel nausea that I was about to be sick. My stomach boiled that I felt I was going through a metamorphosis that I began to growl. Hazel and Bigwig stepped away from, as I started my transformation into a wolf. My eyes were set upon Captain Holly.

"Thomas?!" he attempted to get my attention. I began to growl at him, as he was my prey. He continued to back away slowly.

"Fight him, Holly!" Bigwig shouted.

"No... I won't hurt him! He's under of somewhat magic!" Captain Holly refused, before he turned back towards me. "Thomas... be careful now. I'm your friend.. your brother... and a brother in arms. I know you don't want to hurt me. Just remain calm."

Nightwolf spotted what was happening, but he waited to see what happens next. I began to whimper, as the pain comes back and felt like someone was controlling my mind. I fell back onto the couch and morphed back into a human. "What happened?! What did I do?!" I gasped and felt horrible, as I endangered Hazel, Bigwig, and Holly.

"You were not yourself. You did nothing wrong." Captain Holly warmly comforted me. "As if you were under a spell or gone tharn."

Nightwolf spoke in his native language and approached towards me. "You were transforming into your animality. However, your animal spirit is in a split."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Your animal spirit is split into two. First, is the rabbit. You somewhat began to grow interest with your new rabbit friends that you wanted to protect them, as you would wanted to protect your own kind. Second, is the wolf. An animal you like, but grows anger and furious that would prey upon those, who cause harm to your family." Nightwolf answered.

"By Frith!" Captain Holly couldn't believe it.

"You can't be serious! Humans changed into animals!" Bigwig disagreed.

"I learned that each of us has an animal spirit, as I have the wolf." Nightwolf stated.

"Alike to Thomas'?" Hazel questioned.

"Not entirely, but somewhat similar when it comes to being morphed into a wolf."

"I'm... I'm starting to feel dizzy... what's happening to me?" I'm becoming light headed that I thought I was going feel nausea.

"Just rest, brother." Captain Holly insisted. "You're too weak to travel. We'll stay here and nurse you, if we have to. Just as soon you're able to get back on your feet."

My hearing was becoming difficult to hear others trying to speak that I lie flat on the couch... and passed out from wounds and exhaustion.
