Chapter 11: The Temple of Doom

Chase, Marshall, and Claria walked closely to each other down the dark tunnel. It was almost pitch black, with only Chase's spotlight the only way any of them could see. Marshall had chills running up and down his spine due to it being so dark and quiet. Claria seemed unfazed by this as she walked somewhat casually. Chase, as usual, kept his cool throughout the time they've been walking, which felt like hours at this point.

Marshall's paws were starting to hurt, as the only time they had to rest, was before Chase was attacked in his room, which was a long time ago in his mind. "Chase? Can we stop now, I don't think my paws can't take anymore of this walking.

"It's only been thirty minutes Marshall." Chase replied.

"What?" Marshall asked, baffled. "How do you know that?"

"I've been counting." Chase answered, casually.

Marshall's jaw practically dropped to the floor at Chase's response, "You have been counting every seconds since we walked? Dang Chase. You must be bored."

"Well, we haven't been saying much since he started, it's just been silence." Chase replied. "What else am I supposed to do?"

Marshall shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know."

"Exactly." Chase replied while smiling smugly.

Claria was the next to speak up, as she was awed by the somewhat underground tunnel she was in. "I can't believe that this is under the ambassador's house."

"You and me both Claria." Chase responded. "It looks like you were right Marshall. He was hiding something."

Marshall smiled as he responded proudly. "Aint I always?"

Chase turned his head to where Marshall was in the corner of his eye. He had a playful annoyed face on him. "Don't push it buddy."

"What?" Marshall replied, almost laughing. "I was right was I?"

Chase rolled his eyes playfully "Whatever." He then shines his light around the tunnel to observe it. But there really was nothing much to it, unless Chase really loved dirt. "I wonder what he needs this tunnel for."

"Maybe it's a secret way to the wolf's howl." Claria suggested.

"Why would he need that?" Chase asked back.

"I don't know." Claria answered as she shrugged her shoulders. "I haven't gotten that far yet."

Chase chuckled, as Marshall spoke next "Maybe it's a secret way to go to the beach."

Chase and Claria both looked at Marshall as if he just said that the earth was flat.

"What?" Marshall said.

"Marshall." Chase called. "Why would he possibly need that?"

"You may never know Chase," Marshall stated. "Maybe he's that secretive."

"He may be secretive Marshall," Chase said. "But I don't think that's what's he's being secretive about buddy."

"Okay, what do you think it is Mr. Hotshot police pup?" Marshall asked, irritated.

"Well obviously, it's a secret way to Shadow Fur." Chase answered with confidence.

Marshall thought about Chase's answer, as he looked around. "I don't know Chase." Marshall said. "It doesn't seem like it."

Chase cocked his head. "How come? You said it yourself that you think he is helping ShadowFur. This supports your point buddy. He probably had this put in to get to ShadowFur without anyone seeing him."

"I don't think that's the case Chase. This tunnel looks like it's been here for ages." Marshall doubted.

Marshall did have a point there. The tunnel looked something you would see if you were walking into a deep cave with how dark it was and nothing but dirt and rocks everywhere. Because of this, there were many ways that made Chase doubt his theory.

First, the fact that it was dark. If Jack built this for his convenience, surely he would have had some sort of source of light to illuminate the passage. While Chase didn't assume that Jack was into technology like his owner Ryder, but he would at least have torches along the wall. Sure he'd have to relight them but it would've been better than complete darkness.

Second, the trap. While it made perfect sense to have some sort of security to keep intruders out, Chase doubted that Jack would've used a trap like that. Yeah it was effective, but only because Claria just happened to step on the button that activated it. If she hadn't, they would've gotten through no problem. Which would've made the trap useless. Not to mention, the trap was something that you would encounter in a temple. Knowing that, Jack would've instead had an alarm system, or better yet, a gas chamber to suffocate any intruders. That would've been more effective than the mechanical trap you would find more in a temple.

Third, Jack's knowledge of the secret. If he knew that there was a secret passageway in one of the rooms and wanted to keep it a secret, why would he risk someone finding it by putting Marshall in there. Granted, you'd have to know it existed to find it specifically, but all it took was for someone to lean on the right pillar, and then the secret is found, and the patron would get very curious, and go through the passageway, provided that he or she made it through the trap, and follow it to whatever Jack was hiding. Because of that, It would've been very ignorant to even put anybody in the same hallway. It wasn't like those were the only rooms that he had. It was a mansion for crying out loud. He had plenty of rooms to choose from. Based on that fact alone, it was too much of a risk to put anyone in there, and for a guy like Jack, he would've never even thought of taking.

These reasons spelled it out for Chase. Jack probably doesn't know about it. But how can that be? It is his house after all. Wouldn't he know about every hidden door? It boggled his mind the more he thought about it, and would've been like that forever, trying to make sense of it, if it weren't for Claria breaking the silence.

"You know what? Now that I think about it, I don't think this leads to ShadowFur at all."

Chase snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Claria. "What makes you say that squirt?"

"Well, remember what you said at the dinner about the ambassador's house being built on top of BloodRaynes territory?" Claria recalled.

"Yeah. what about it?" Chase asked curiously.

"Well," Claria startled, "I think whatever's at the end of this is an old BloodRayne compound."

"Underground?" Marshall asked.

"Yeah." Claria answered.

"Why would they need to be underground?" Marshall asked again.

"Probably to hide themselves, Marshall." Chase answered. "It's sorta obvious considering that they probably are not that popular with the other packs."

"I would say so." Claria replied, she was about to say something else until her mind drifted something else. Her best friend, Roxy. She had know idea what happened to him, and that worried her to no end. She hoped he was still alive. Then again, they probably tortured and punished him for his deed of trying to escape. For that, she wished he was dead, that way, he wouldn't be suffering.

Wait…..what was she just thinking?!

Marshall sensed something was wrong from the way Claria was walking. Her head was down, and her tail was limp as it dragged on the ground. "Claria? Are you okay?"

"Huh?" Claria responded.

"Are you okay?" Marshall repeated concerned.

"Oh." Claria replied, as she tried at Claria. "Y-Yeah, I'm okay."

Marshall raised a suspicious eyebrow at Claria. "You don't sound okay to me."

Claria was going to repeat herself, but Marshall's carrying stare stopped her. "Claria, don't lie to me. Please tell me. What's wrong?"

'Darn it! What is it with these pups eyes that gets me?! She thought as she stared into Marshall's eyes for a second. She starts to tear up as she suddenly caves in. "nnnnnnnnggg okay I'm not okay!" She sobs. "It's Roxy, my best friend. I don't know whether he's alive or dead! And that scares me. (sniff) But what's worse, is that if he is alive, that means they are torturing him. I'm scared of what we will find. I don't want to find him dead, or suffering. I don't….. I don't…" Claria starts breaking down while Marshall immediately goes to hug her tightly.

"Hey…...hey, hey. Shhhhhhhhhh. It's okay Claria. It's okay." Marshall said to soothe her.

"No it's not! Roxy could be dead or suffering Marshall." Claria retorted.

Marshall continued to soothe Claria the best he could, while Chase looked on with sadness. He had been in a similar situation last year, with Marshall being presumed dead. He knew exactly how it felt to not be able to help your best friend or even talk to him. He wanted to say some to help Marshall, but suddenly, a sound made his ears perk up. He stared off to the front, trying to find the source of the sound.

"Claria, please, everything is going to be okay." Marshall tried again. "Just calm down."

"I can't do that Marshall. I-I just can't! No matter if we find him or not, He won't be okay! I've been in there! I know what happens when they punish you! They whip you until you comply, and sometimes, that isn't enough. I'm terrified of what we will find Marshall!" Claria responded.

"Claria I know that, and trust me, it's going to be hard to get through it. But you need to stay strong for him. If not, we won't be able to help him." Marshall preached.

Claria looked up at Marshall as he continued. "When the time comes, we will deal with it, and if he is suffering , we will do everything we can to help him. Your right, we don't know his fate, but you can't dwell on that. What matters is that we find him and help him. But that doesn't just go to him, that goes to everyone else who are trapped in BloodRayne's grasp Chase and I are committed to do everything we can to save them. Right Chase?"

Marshall waited for Chase to answer, but got nothing in return. He then looked at the shepherd who was tuned out of the conversation. He was staring straight ahead, with his ears perked up so much, they could fly off his head.

"Chase?" Marshall called again. Again, he got nothing as the police pup stayed completely still. Marshall, frustrated, went up to him to see why he wasn't responding. "Come on Chase, don't leave me hang…"

"Shh!" the shepherd finally said as he held a paw up to Marshall.

"Hey!" Marshall replied insulted. "Don't "shh" me."

"SHHH!" Chase insisted, as he put a paw to Marshall's mouth. "Listen." he paused a bit and then spoke as he took his paw off of his mouth. "Do you hear that?"

Claria appeared next to Chase, as she spoke next. "Hear what?"

"The chanting, don't you hear it?" Chase answered.

"Chanting?" Marshall responded, confused as to what Chase was pointing out. "I don't hear any…."

It was at that moment. That Marshall's ears suddenly picked up a faint sound in the distance. He listened closely for the sound and made out a very soft sound of Chanting.

Me state me stagle ma mummm

Le stag goo mum fun gayeee

Marshall's eyes grew wide as he could finally make out the chanting. "Okay, now I hear it."

In the midst of this, a sudden bump was heard that made the three pups jump inside their bodies and vibrated. It was very reminiscing of a bass drum being hit, along with more Chanting.

It sounded haunting as it echoed off the walls of the tunnel.

"It sounds like it's coming from up ahead." Claria pointed out.

Chase took a deep breath as he announced his course of action. "Well, there's only one way to find out what it is. Let's go investigate."

Marshall swallowed slowly at the idea of finding out what was going on. He didn't know what was going on or what to expect, but from the sound of the haunting chant they were hearing, he felt that it was going to be something that he would not enjoy seeing. "O-Okay Chase. R-Right behind you man."

Claria nodded slowly as they began to follow the path to the source of the noise. The chanting got louder as they got closer, and the drums vibrated their bodies, as it sounded off.

A little further down, the three see the end of the path glowing red from the left. When they got up to it, Chase halted the two with his paw as he went forward to check for anyone around the corner. He scarcely looked left and discovered an amazing site. It was an entrance to a temple, or at least that was what it looked like. In front of it, was a fire pit which Chase could tell was fire, due to the heat and light coming from the pit. On the other side of the pit, was something that looked like a cliff side on a mountain, with wolves all over the cliff. Chanting and swaying left to right on all fours.

Chase noticed that they were in a press box-like section elevated about three stories up, over viewing the entire area. The view was very reminiscent of an opera house press box in the back, providing a clear view of the festivities happening below.

Straight ahead of him, was a section that was elevated, not as high as they were, but a good two stories up. It had a big ceremonial drum, along with multiple instruments including clash cymbals, maracas, and smaller drums with wolves occupying each one playing them in line to the chants. A long ledge ran around the area, held up by pillars with torches in place.

Though the main highlight of the area was a giant statue coming out of the front of the temple's walls. It was the front half of a wolf, lunging forward with its paws, reaching out in front with teeth bared. It's eyes glowed red to which Chase couldn't find out what was causing it. The paws had chains flowing down from them, holding some sort of a torture rack about a few feet off the ground.

Below the statue, was an altar with seven holes in the front, which were empty. On each side of it were two passageways to go in and out of the area. To the left of the statue, was a wheel peeping out of the ground, with handles around the wheel to turn it, accompanied by a lever next to it. In the center of the area, was an emblem of two wolves facing away from each other with gemstones circling them.

There weren't many wolves on the temple side as the cliff side was. Only about five were there. Two of them were standing off to the left watching the wolves on the other side chanting. One was back behind the wheel, and two were on each side of the statue, waiting for their cue. The two on the left, were obviously ShadowFur, as they had ShadowFur features on their bodies, while the rest had red streaks flowing down on their bodies, with their eyes having crimson red around them, along with their muzzle. Chase immediately assumed that they were the infamous BloodRayne wolves.

Once he thought they were safe, He motioned Marshall and Claria to sit next to him and lay low in which the two gracefully complied. Marshall was speechless, he had never seen anything like this before. It was like a horror movie came to life in front of them which made Marshall very uneasy and Claria in disbelief.

"I-It's a BloodRayne ceremony. They're worshiping Red-Eye." Claria spoke in a horse tone.

"There's no need to question ShadowFur's involvement anymore. There's the Alpha and Delta." Claria informed, pointing at the two on the side.

"And there's Jack." Chase added grimly.

Marshall looked around trying to spot the ambassador "Where?"

Chase pointed at the right side of the front "There. You see him?"

Marshall looked at where Chase was pointing and finally saw him, standing off to the side with a ceremonial robe on him, with a smug grin. "Now I see him. I guess I was right."

"Of course you were, buddy." Chase replied.

The chants mellowed out as the drum beat speeds up a bit as the wolves now howl to it.

"Have you ever seen anything like this before?" Marshall asked, still astonished.

Claria shakes her head as she responds. "No one's ever seen this in a hundred years."

A drum roll sounds off as cymbals and maracas harmonizes as the wolves then produce a long sustained howl.

At that moment, a wolf appeared from the passageway, and walked to the edge in the center. The wolves then sat as they resumed howling softly.

The wolf definitely had a striking appearance. His coat was crimson red, with only his underbelly, face, and undertail being white and silver. He had a menacing face that could scare even Ryder away, and eyes that could kill anything it looked at with a long scar going through the left eye. His face got worse, when he slowly produced the most evil smile the pups could imagine. Fire shot up from both sides coincidentally, as he stared through the smoke at the participants joining the ceremony.

"Man," Marshall commented. "He sure is full of himself. Isn't he?"

"Wolves of all!" The wolf called. His voice piercing ears with the most excited and cold voice Chase has ever heard. "We are gathered here to pay homage to our lord and savior, Red-Eye."

The wolves howl at the mention, then subside as the wolf continues on. "Red-Eye protects us! He guides us! And he provides us with his power. To rid the world of all his naysayers!"

Chase, Marshall, and Claria look on with pits in their stomachs, as his dark aurora flows through them.

"In return with our gratitude, we offer him a sacrifice of flesh…...fur….and blood!"

Suddenly, the sound of a pup crying out for help was heard, as two wolves bring a wolf pup, scared out of his mind, into view for all to see. Chase recognizes the pup as the Alpha-Heir to ShadowFur, who was at the dinner.

'Must've been that comment he made at the table. Or maybe he confronted his father about the strange doings' he thought. 'They must want to silence him.'

Meanwhile, Marshall was going mental at the implication of the pup's fate. "Chase! That's a pup!" He calls softly, not wanting to alert the wolves.

"That's not just any pup!" Claria added. "That's the Alpha-Heir of ShadowFur! Klora!"

Chase wanted so badly to come down there and save him, but unfortunately, due to the size of the crowd, they wouldn't get far, and would likely be put in the pup's potion. He had to stand by and let this happen which tore him inside.

Marshall on the other paw, obviously made the attempt to, until Chase stopped him with his paw. "No Marshall. Im sorry buddy, but we have to just watch and let it happen."

"No we don't Chase!" Marshall argued. "We can save him!"

"And we would be killed too!" Chase responded. "It won't do him any good."

Marshall was about to protest, until Claria stopped him herself. "Marshall, he's right. They would maul us, and he still would be sacrificed. No matter what, his fate is sealed. Let's just hope he doesn't suffer."

Marshall ceased his struggle after Claria's comment, as he sat back down very reluctantly. Like it or not, they were right, and Marshall knew it. He looks at Kora, who was now being shackled in the torture rack that had come down to imprison it's visitor. He closed his eyes as tears formed and he spoke shakenly. "He better not."

BOM

Chase looked at the Alpha and Delta on the right and noticed that none of them even flinched, as their pup was screaming for their help.

"MOTHER! FATHER! WHY ARE YOU JUST STANDING THERE? HAVE I DONE SOMETHING WRONG?!" Klora shrieked.

Despite his cries, the Alpha and Delta were as still as a boulder, not even flinching.

"Th-They're just going to let this happen to their own pup?!" Marshall exclaimed.

Chase and Claria stayed silent as they didn't know what to say, but Marshall didn't need the answer.

The maniacal wolf in the center, turns around slowly and walks in front of the terrified pup. Klora whimpers in fear as the leader brushes his face with his paw. "Young one, you have been summoned here for a great service." He says with his voice tearing through the pup like razor knives. "Your sacrifice will benefit our cause, and you will be remembered for it."

The pup whined as he spoke. "Oni-Con, please. I don't know what I did wrong, but I'm willing to take punishment for it. Just please." His eyes became waterfalls as he begged. "Don't…..kill me."

Oni-Con did not respond, as he looked at the face of the statue behind Klora. He reached his paw at it, while the eyes of the statue shined in response. Oni-Con smiles evilly, as he looks back at Klora. "You will give your heart to Red-Eye. And your blood shall run red!"

At the mention of the word, the wolves repeated it. Chanting it as the drum sounded at each chant.

RED!

The wolves continue chanting, as Oni-Con slowly places his paw on Kora's chest. He pushes in, as Klora's flesh melts around his paw like putty, allowing Oni-Con entry to his heart. Klora screamed in agony with his eyes completely bugged out. Oni-Con then rips out his still beating heart and turns around and raises it up for all to see.

The three pups all gasp, as Marshall turned around and hid behind the wall. He had to, as he couldn't watch anymore. His eyes were about to pop out of his head in shock as he hyperventilates, trying to calm himself down with not very much success. It wasn't working as he replayed the moment in his head. The image of Oni-Con ripping out the pup's heart was now burned into his retinas. His screams were recorded in his head as it echoed in mind and on repeat forever. It was the worst thing he had ever seen in his life, and the worst part. He sat there and let it happen.

Claria was frozen in place. Her eyes were bugged out at the sight. She wanted to look away, she wanted to cuddle up next to Marshall for comfort, but she couldn't, her shock stopped her as she was paralized with fear. She couldn't believe that this was happening behind the wolf's back, and this had been going on for months. And that made her sick to her stomach.

Chase however, had a different reaction than the two. One of pure fury and anger. There was no reason for this pup to be sacrificed like this. Hell, there was no reason for the pup to be sacrificed, period. He was seething, as he resisted the urge to go down there and beat the ever loving crap out of Oni-Con. For that he did, but he wisely decided against it, even if it wasn't right.

"Abiskae gari na me munei!" Oni-Con chanted, as the wolves howled at him.

He then walks to the edge as the wolves' howl more profoundly.

"Albiskae gari na me ta le manyei!"

Klora's chest molded back as he fell limp in the cage. Breathing heavily as he raised his head to look at Oni-Con.

"He's still alive." Chase commented surprised. As he turns around to check on Marshall, who was still hyperventilating.

"ALBISKAE GARI NA ME TA LE MANYEI!" Oni-Con continued, as the cage was raised by the wheel being turned by the wolf manning it. Klora cried as he was turned faced down, above the emblem on the floor. Suddenly, it opened up to revealing a massive pit of fire below. Fire shot up from the pit, as the wolf pulled the lever beside him, sending Klora down into the pit, as the wolves then began to chant slowly, with the drums now sounding like many bombs were going off with each hit. His screams echo the walls as he is lowered into his doom.

The tempo now speeds up steadily as the wolves continue.

Hala! Hala! Hala staglehum!

The drumbeat now resembles a heartbeat. As the chanting goes on louder.

Hala! Hala! Hala staglehum!

The beat gets even more faster, as Oni-Con then starts to chant while still holding Klora's heart.

"MANICHAHARO! MANICHAHARO!"

Klora was halfway down as his screams somehow grew louder. Fire shot up close to him as he continued to scream. With Red-Eye still filled the air with his chant.

"MANICHAHARO! MANICHAHARO!"

Marshall wasn't getting any better, as he was visually having a mental breakdown as the pup's screams filled his ears.

Klora's screams went on, as the beat then gets even faster, with the wolves following the speed as they now produced another chant with the utmost authority.

Ha! Hu ha!

Hu ha

Huha

The eyes on the statue then glow brightly, as Oni-Con yells at the top of his lungs one more time.

"MANICHAHARO! MANICHAHARO!"

The drums then sound with the speed of the chants.

Ha…..ha…..ha…..ha…..ha…..ha….ha

The beat returns as fire shoots up on both sides.

Klora finally catches fire as he is now set ablaze in the cage. His flesh melts off the bone as his screams reach its peak, as he burns alive.

In sync with this, the heart in Oni-Con's paw catches fire itself, as it was now engulfed in flame. Oni-Con was laughing menacingly as he now started to rise upon his back paws. "Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

The beat then goes at breakneck speed, as the wolves now were uncontrollably spinning their heads around. Klora's screams are loud as it can, before suddenly being silenced, as the drums and chanting suddenly stop as the only one that could be heard was Oni-Con. Who was still laughing like a comic book villain.

"AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

Owoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

He then gave one long sustained howl as the wolves joined him.

Chase was now seething in anger at this point. He loathed the fact that this mad wolf was laughing as a pup was burned alive in front of him. He had to resist so badly to go down there as his heart was telling him to go, but his mind convinced him to stay, reminding him of his fate if he went down there.

Claria couldn't take it anymore, she joined Marshall behind the wall, and buried her face in his chest, sobbing uncontrollably. Marshall didn't even notice, as he was whimpering at the sound of Klora's demise.

Bom

The wolves then chant slowly, as the cage was now being raised back up from the pit. Claria willed herself to return next to Chase, somehow, to see what was happening. Marshall was still freaking out. Chase himself was afraid of seeing Klora's remains in the cage. But upon the cage entering into view, Chase and Claria saw that it was completely empty. That only made it worse, as Chase imagined the image of Klora being burnt to ashes.

Oni-Con gets down on his fours, and turns to leave the area as the three BloodRayne wolves come into view with Emerald's in their paws. The emeralds shining brightly green, as they set them in their respectful place in the holes in the altar.

"There they are." Claria pointed out. "The wolf's emeralds."

The three wolves bow at them, as the crowd then bows with them and then disperse. Signaling the end of the ceremony.

"Why are they glowing?" Chase asked.

Claria swallowed as she explained. "Well, it is said in legend, that when the emeralds are near each other, the power inside them makes the emeralds glow green as a sign of unity."

"Wow." Chase replied as he stared at them in awe.

After a bit, it seemed that the only souls there were the three pups. As it was now quiet as a mouse. Chase then gets in front of Marshall who has finally calmed down.

"Marshall? Buddy?" Are you okay?" Chase asked, deeply concerned for his best friend.

Marshall bereaved slowly as he looked at Chase's calming eyes. "We…..we just watched a pup get sacrificed in front of us."

Chase and Claria looked on with sympathy as Marshall continued. "That poor…...poor…...poor pup. He probably did nothing wrong, and they killed him. And you know what's the worst part?"

Marshall paused as he took a deep breath and looked down at his paws as tears flowed down from his cheeks. "We sat by and did absolutely nothing. We let it happen."

Chase put a paw on his weeping friend to soothe him. "Marshall, I know that, but you know what would've happened if….."

"I KNOW THAT CHASE!" Marshall yelled in fury, causing Chase to double back. "I KNOW WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED IF WE INTERFERED! BUT IT DOSEN'T MAKE IT RIGHT!"

"Marshall!" Chase called. "Calm down! They will hear us!"

Marshall did tone it down, but not by much as he was still angry. "There was absolutely no reason that pup should've never been killed! I don't care what he did or what he did! He didn't deserve that!"

"I know that! But please buddy. Settle down." Chase tried to calm him. "We don't want them to know that we're here."

"I know! It's just….It's just….." Marshall broke down and started to sob as Chase hugged him for comfort. In which Marshall gracefully hugged back and cried into Chase's fur. "He didn't deserve it. He didn't deserve it."

This was so like Marshall. To care for someone that he never met. Chase didn't blame him as he too was tearing up a little about the traumatizing event.

"How long?" Marshall croaked out. "How long has this been going on Chase? How many pups have suffered and died because of this? How many pups have they killed just to satisfy their god?"

"I don't know buddy." Chase replied. "I just don't know."

Chase then eyed Claria as she had been silent throughout the whole conversation. Her head hung low, as well as her tail. He noticed that she had been crying softly herself. "Claria? Are you okay?"

Marshall let go of Chase and turned around to see Claria. Despite being distressed himself, he put it aside to help Claria. He looked at her with concern.

Claria didn't move, as it took her a full minute to answer. She horsley spoke with her voice low "I-I-I'm sorry."

"Sorry?" Marshall repeated. "Sorry for what?"

"I'm sorry for what you saw." Claria replied as she raised her head. "That is not our way of life. We wolves are supposed to be kind and passionate to all living things. I am ashamed and embarrassed by this. This is not what our culture is. The fact that this was going on behind Gari's and ours back makes me sick to my stomach. On behalf of our culture. I am so so sorry."

Chase and Marshall couldn't believe what was happening, somehow, Claria took it upon herself to take responsibility for what the BloodRayne wolves were doing, Chase wasn't going to allow this at all. "Claria, you have absolutely no reason to apologize to anyone."

Claria looked at Chase with surprise. "I-I don't?"

"No." Chase said proudly. "Not in the slightest. You're forgetting the real monster here. You or any of the other packs that live here have no responsibility for what they are doing, and it shouldn't be. It's not right and I won't let it happen."

Claria smiled as she felt that she had gained confidence with Chase words "Thanks Chase. I am so thankful that you and Marshall are willing to help us solve this problem."

Chase closed his eyes and took a breath. "To be honest Claria, this is no longer a wolf issue."

Claria cocked her head in confusion, "Huh? What do you mean Chase?"

"What I mean is that this has now become a world problem." Chase said, as he turned to face the statue in the area. "I now understand now why the US intervened. While I don't condone their actions of genoside, I at least get why they were brought in. If BloodRayne gets all the emeralds, this is what we will be looking forward to, this will be our future. Living under the paws of Red-Eye. I will not stand for it. Not on my watch. It is essential that they are stopped before they even have a dogbone of a chance and we are going to do it."

"But how Chase?" Marshall chimed in. "Were just pups, and they have a whole army."

"Simple." Chase answered. "We take those emeralds."

Claria and Marshall listened as Chase detailed his plan.

"I'm willing to bet my dog bowl that those emeralds are the ones giving them power to do this. Am I right?" he looks at Claria who nods in return.

"I would say so, yes." Claria said. "But what about the pups?"

Chase dropped his ears as he almost forgot about the trapped pup somewhere around the area. Thankfully, he regains his confidence as he speaks. "We will cross that bridge when we get there, but for now, let's focus on the emeralds."

Marshall smiles as he stands with loyalty to Chase. "Okay Chase, what do you want us to do?"

Chase furrows his brow as he gives his orders. "I want you two to stay up here and keep quiet." He looks at Marshall. "Marshall, look after Claria." He then looks at Claria. "Claria, look after Marshall."

Marshall then gives a half confused face as he poses a question to Chase. Even though he knew the answer, and was not happy about it. "Why? Where are you going?"

"Down there." Chase answered. Nodding his head at the section.

"Down there?! By yourself?! Nah uh. No. Not happening. I'm coming with you." Marshall objected.

Chase turns back around and looks at Marshall. "No. I need you up here to watch my back. Plus, it's better if I go down there alone then having three pups wandering around."

"Chase, you know what they will do to you if you get caught!" Marshall protested. "I'm not going to allow that to happen!"

"And it won't." Chase retorted. "Not with you watching, I'll be fine."

Marshall was going to insist but decided not to. Like it or not, Chase made sense and he didn't want to argue with him anymore.

CHase turned around when the confrontation was done and began to get on the ledge on the left side of the wall. Before he got any further, Marshall called out to him. "Chase!"

Chase looked at Marshall. "Yeah?"

Marshall paused as he had deep concern about his friend. "Be Careful."

Chase smiled at the dally. "Only if you will buddy." he says, as he gets on the ledge.

Marshall and Claria watched closely, as Chase moved along the ledge towards the temple. It was a little narrow, but nothing the police pup couldn't handle.

He moved ahead till he got to the end of the ledge. Well, more like as far as he could, due to the path being cut off by a missing section that fell long ago. Chase looked down at the edge as the heat from the fire pit met his face, making him sweat. He then looked ahead and noticed how far he was from the temple. He was a good bit away from it which means that a simple jump wasn't going to cut it.

Chase cursed at himself for foolishly leaving his spy pup pack at home. If he had that, he could've easily gotten across on the section with his zipline safely and stealthy. But, because he felt that he didn't need it, he left it at the Lookout and now he has to get across the old fashioned way, by jumping the wide gap and pray that he makes it, while also hoping that no wolf would hear it and be alerted.

Chase got into position, noticing that it was the only way to get across. Marshall and Claria watched as Chase leapt off the ledge, and flew into the air. Marshall clenched tightly, half expectation the worse to happen. Chase was about half way when he suddenly noticed a big problem, he was going to be short. Not by much, but enough to be in a very dangerous situation. He reached out his paws as far as he could to grab the end of the ledge to hang on as hard as he could.

He slammed his belly on the edge, as he dug his claws into the stone ledge. Marshall watched in horror as Chase nearly fell off the edge, but was able to grab a hold of a crevice in the stone to keep him from falling. Chase smiled at his very close call, but it faded when something else occurred. A crack formed in the stone he was hanging on that gave him a hint, that the edge he was hanging on, was about to crumble, sending him to his doom below.

Thinking quickly, he reached back and jumped sideways onto the edge next to him, as the crumbling stone he was hanging on broke apart and fell into the pit. He grabbed the edge with one claw, as his momentum turned him around causing him to look at the stones falling.

Marshall bout had a heart attack at this, as he breathed heavily, thanking whatever god for watching over Chase. "Gosh dawg it Chase! Be careful!"

He said softly.

Chase then grabbed the ledge with his other paw, as he used his back paws to climb over onto the temple's ledge. He got up and brushed himself off, as he made his way over to the altar.

The glowing emeralds shined brightly as he grabbed one of them carefully. He pulled close as the emerald lost its shine of green and dimed to show the color of a cyan blue.

'Must be River Rush's emerald.' Chase thought. "Heh, how Ironic that this is the first one I grab.'

He went to put it in his pup pack, but suddenly had the urge to see it glow again. He brought the emerald next to a snow white one, and watched in awe, as the emeralds turned into a well, Emerald green color.

Claria and Marshall watch Chase as he now proceeded to put each of the emeralds in his pup pack. Thankfully, the emeralds were about the size of a baseball, Allowing them to fit easily in a single compartment in his pack.

Once he was done, he saddled his pup pack back on and turned to get back to Claria and Marshall.

Marshall smiled at his friend's success in retrieving the emeralds. "That's it Chase, now come on back."

Chase got a few feet ahead before his ears picked up a sudden sound that made Chase stop in his tracks immediately. It was an unpleasant sound like one he would hear during a rescue back home by some poor soul, screaming for help. It was…...a cry of pain…..that sounded like it came from a pup. Chase's stomach churned as he turned his head slowly at where the sound was coming from. It sounds again as he realized that it was coming from the passageway beside the altar.

As if he was caught in a trance, Chase slowly made his way to the passageway, and left the area through it.

Marshall suddenly became confused, as he watched Chase disappear in the passage, he looked at Claria behind him. "What the? Where is he going?"

Claria was clueless herself, as she looked at Marshall, matching his confusion.

But before she could speak, a wolf came out of nowhere and appeared in front of Marshall. He growled and barked coldly as if he was in a horror movie. Marshall was startled as he turned around to run, but the wolf dug his claws in his leg, and pulled him, causing Marshall to yelp and collapse on his belly. The dally tried to wiggle free, but the wolf grabbed the other leg, and stood on top of him, and pinned him down.

"CLARIA!" Marshall called out. "RUN!"

Claria immediately turned to run, but was met with three wolves who grabbed her all at once, the two pups struggled to get free, but the wolve's grip was strong as they dragged them away from the balcony. Screaming bloody murder untill their mouths were covered by the wolves.

The cries grew louder as Chase made his way through the tunnel. Each time he heard one, his stomach twisted harder and harder. The tunnel was dark as the one they arrived in. Apparently these wolves never heard of torches besides the ceremonial room behind him.

He walked slowly and carefully to avoid any wolves as he saw an opening in front of then the cries were now as loud as ever, mixed in with loud sudden pops that hurt Chase's ears.

He got to the opening with his face turning to absolute horror at what he saw.

Below him, was a fully functional mine complete with mine carts, Rock crushers, conveyor belts, and moving buckets. Chase was amazed that the wolves were even able to operate a mine, let alone build one.

The mine was enormous, about the size of the entire property that the lookout stands on there were tunnels that lead out of the mine in the back corners. They were two levels to it, with cat walks and rope, that carried buckets above heads. Boulders populated the mine, with some being a level themselves to sit around and dig for whatever they were looking for.

Though the mine was not something that Chase was focusing on. What caught his attention was who was working the mines. They were pups.

Pups of all races littered the mine, digging, caring rocks, pushing carts on a track, filling buckets, using pickaxes, clearing the conveyor belts, and moving big boulders, while full grown wolves stood around, whipping them to no end. The pups looked awful, with some looking like they would drop dead at any moment. No stomach was full, and there were rarely any that did not have welts from the enduring whipping they received.

Chase was in absolute shock and anger, as he watched the wolves whip the pups to keep order, while pups cried out in pain. It was hard to watch, as he wished he could do something, anything, to stop this.

He caught wind of a pup, who had collapsed in exhaustion, and was now laying limply on the ground whimpering. A wolf sees this, and walks over to the downed pup. That wolf was none other than DarkClaw himself. The Beta of ShadowFur, That was at the dinner. Chase wondered why he was even here in the first place, but considering that the Alpha and Delta of ShadowFur were here too, it wasn't much of a surprise. The massive wolf, armed with a bullwhip, stared coldly at the pup. The pup reached out with a paw for help, but was kicked over on it's back, as DarkClaw stepped on his tail, preventing the pup from getting up and running away, not that the pup had any energy to get up. The pup yelped as the wolf then raised his whip, and then thrusted downward.

WAPOW!

The whip cracked on the pup's chest, as it gave a blood curdling scream. The wolf raised back up, and thrusted again.

WAPOW!

The pup continued to cry out loudly, as DarkClaw got ready for another thrust.

Chase was now enraged at this point, even more than the sacrifice. He may expose himself, but he would be damned if this low life ever, wiped the poor pup again.

He softly barked out his tennis ball launcher, and aimed it at DarkClaw's head. He fired it, as the tennis ball launched out of the launcher with full speed. It hit the unsuspecting wolf, as he growled coldly, turned around, and faced Chase furiously. The pup took the opportunity to get up, and run away from the wolf, as DarkClaw gave a death stare at the police pup, who had a smug look on his face, proud of his work.

That smug disappeared though, when DarkClaw growled and howled in alarm, alerting the others of the german shepherd's presence.

Chase, having been exposed thanks to his stupid mistake, turned around to escape, but was met with about eight wolves, growling at their prey in front of them. Realizing that it would be suicide to resist, Chase sayed down in surrender, as two wolves grabbed him, slam him down on the ground, and shackle him with Chains. They then picked him up and dragged him away.

Although it exposed him, and caused him to get captured, Chase never regretted saving the pup.

(A/N): Well...there it is. If you made it through i appreciate it, as I hope i didn't trigger anybody.

I hope you understand now, that things are finally starting to heat up.
