Icernia faced Hamrigan. "WHAT?!" Hamrigan roared in shock and rage. "Yes, he's been defeated" Icernia told Hamrigan. "No! Impossible! He was made to be unbeatable by the Legendary Warriors!" Hamrigan growled. "But that's not all!" Icernia continued. "He is a traitor!" "Traitor?! What do you mean by?" Boomed Hamrigan. Icernia spoke. "Before we were about to retreat, Destroyer Dragon refused to flee. When Hamzar tried to take control, Destroyer Dragon turned on him, and slaughtered him." Hamrigan was now angry. "I knew he was hard to control, but I never thought he'd turn on us!" "That's not really why he's a traitor, here's why." She cut in. "I saw that the Legendary Warriors had defeated Destroyer Dragon. I don't know how they defeated him so easily, but it was that lead one who did it. Something was wrong with Destroyer Dragon, so I went down to finish off the warriors. I was about to blast the white hamster who was the cause of our troubles, teleporting away from battles, when Destroyer Dragon stopped my attack. He said that since that ham had protected him from the lead warrior destroying him, he would protect that white one from me! Then he somehow found the strength to defeat me!" Hamrigan couldn't believe it. "Destroyer Dragon cannot betray us!" "But he has my lord." replied Icernia. "Is he still alive?" Hamrigan demanded. "He was severely injured. I doubt he'll live much longer, but I've sent two evil hams to spy on warriors and tell me what's happening. "You are the only one who remains of my strong trio of warriors. I'm counting on you not to fail like the other two did!" Hamrigan boomed. Icernia replied "I won't my lord."

Meanwhile back in the cave where the hamhams had taken Boss to heal him, was not doing so well. While the hamhams were trying to calm him down, he was growling, snarling and snapping and thrashing about. None of the hamhams dared to come near him again, fearing that they'd get clawed up. "Why eez he acting this way?" Asked Bijou. "We only want to help him!" "He's still confused about who we are! He may be losing is memory again!" Kenji cried. Boss stood there panting in exhaustion, and then collapsed. Hamtaro ran over to Boss. "Boss! Please let us help you! We're your friends, remember?" Boss growled savagely, and struck his claws out at Hamtaro, who just barely jumped out of the way. "Yikes!" He cried. "I don't think this is such a good idea to help him. He may just turn on us." Kenji said. "Alright, I'll hold him down, and you guys try and bandage him up!" Stan announced. He pinned Boss's paw to the ground, and was about to pin his back on the ground with his body, when Boss snapped his teeth at Stan's paw. "Aack! Uuh...you guys try!" Said Stan, shakily. All the hamhams were hesitant though. Boss fell on the ground again. Bijou ran towards him. "If no one will help him, then I will!" Bijou said. "Bijou, wait! It's too dangerous!" cried Maxwell. Bijou knelt down by Boss. Boss once again growled, hoping to warn her away. Bijou stood her ground. "Boss, eet eez Bijou! You must remember me as your friend, not an enemy! You saved me, and I saved you! Remember?" Bijou said, trying to calm down Boss. She put a paw on Boss's head. "Bijou..." Boss said weakly. His breathing quieted down, and he started to relax. "Wow! Bijou's charm really seems to work!" Maxwell said. "Anything for his one true love!" added Stan. Bijou took out a bottle of disinfectant that Kenji carried with him. "Now, I know this eez going to hurt a bit, but eet will help you get better." She put some on the wound on his arm. It stung Boss's arm. He yelped out in pain, and knocked the bottle of disinfectant, spilling it all over the floor. "Boss, I am trying to help you!" Bijou cried angrily. Boss rose on his fours and jumped back. He looked at her menacingly, as blood ran from his mouth. Bijou gasped in horror. "Bijou, try to be patient with him." Kenji told her. "He's bleeding!" Cried Dexter. "That's just gross!" Groaned Sparkle who had seen her share of blood. Boss collapsed again. "We'll need to examine him." Said Kenji. "I need someone else to help." He added. "That would be me." Maxwell spoke up. They went over to Boss, completely forgetting the danger they were putting themselves in.

Boss did not stir though. He was still breathing though, but it was laboured and painful. "I'll check his pulse said Maxwell. Kenji examined the wounds. "I've never seen such fatal wounds before!" said Kenji. Boss coughed up more blood. "It looks he's internaly injured which is going to make it even harder to heal him." Mawell said. "There's gotta be someway to help him!" cried Hamtaro. "Maybe, we could use some of those dragon flowers that I have! Since he's a dragon type, the flowers may be able to repair his inner wounds." Said Kenji thoughtfully. "Let's do that!" Said Hamtaro. He took some of Kenji's flowers. "Please Boss, you gotta listen to me! I know I hurt you and I'm the one who caused this for you to go through all this pain, and I'm really sorry, but you just gotta trust me this once! I'm here to help you! Please eat these flowers! They'll help you get better!" Hamtaro placed the flowers beside Boss. Boss just lay there, breathing heavily in pain. Then he started to munch on the flowers. All the hamhams sighed in relief. "Thank you Boss." Said Hamtaro. Boss stopped coughing up blood. "Well, I guess that solves our internal injury problem." Kenji announced. "Now to fix these wounds." He added. He turned towards Hamtaro, Maxwell, and Bijou. "I'm going to need your help." He said. "Anything for Boss!" Said Hamtaro.

Hamtaro, Maxwell, Bijou, and Kenji got to work. Bijou once again used disinfectant, but this time, Boss cooperated. She then bandaged his arm. Kenji, Hamtaro, and Maxwell bandaged his other wounds up. Bijou lay her paw on Boss's back, letting him know that she was there and there was nothing to worry about. She looked at his scratches and scars he had. She realized that they were not only from the battle, but from cruel treatment that was given to him by Hamrigan and Hamzar. He had also lost a bit of weight from lack of food. "You poor ham" She said softly. Within no time the bandaging was done. "Hopefully, he'll survive, but with that big wound in his chest, he may not make it. We'll just have to wait and see." Kenji said. "I sure hope he'll be okay. I wish he knew how sorry I am." Hamtaro whimpered. Two hours later, it was about midnight. A fire was lit to keep the hams warm. Most of the hamham had gone out to search for food. Only Bijou, Sparkle and Kenji remained. Kenji once again was lost in thought, Sparkle was asleep, and Bijou just stared into the fire, worrying. Boss stirred in his sleep. He opened his eyes slowly and looked around him. Bijou noticed this and ran over. "Huh? Where am I?" He moaned. "Boss!" Bijou exclaimed. Boss jumped in surprise. "GAAH! Bijou?!" He cried out in pain, and collapsed. "Boss! You must relax!" She said putting a paw on his back. "Okay." He said weakly. "Eet eez so good to see you alive!" Said Bijou happily. Boss was about to say something when all the hamhams had come back from food collecting. "Hey! Boss is awake!" Cried Hamtaro. All the hamhams ran over to where Boss lay. Except Stan. "Are you ok?" Asked Dexter. "We thought you were a gonner!" Exclaimed Howdy. "Not for this ham." Boss said, grinning weakly. "It's great to see he's back to himself!" Said Maxwell. Hamtaro cut in. "Boss, I have something to say to you. I'm really really sorry! I shouldn't have hurt you or have tried to destroy you!" Boss's face saddened. "No need to apologize buddy, it's me who should be apologizing, after what I've done to you and the others." Stan looked at Boss with hatred. The one who killed his sister. Boss didn't notice Stans angered look. "Well, it's time we got some shuteye." Said Maxwell. " Hope you feel better tomorrow Boss." said Hamtaro. They all slept soundly, except that there was someone watching them.

The two evil hams that Icernia sent were spying. They carried large spears with them. "Do you think this is such a good idea?" one of the hams whispered. "Icernia sent us to kill them you fool! Of course we're going to do this! One quick strike through the heart is all that is needed. They won't even feel it!" the other hissed angrily. They snuck silently through the cave, like shadows. However, Boss's ears picked up their scuttling feet. His eyes flashed open. One of the evil hams raised his spear above Hamtaro, ready to bring it down upon him. Boss shot a flame from his mouth. The flame hit the evil ham, destroying him. This awoke Hamtaro and Kenji. The other evil ham shrieked and fled as fast as he could. Boss then lay down on the ground keeping alert. "Thanks Boss" Said Hamtaro. "Anytime Hamtaro." Boss replied. "He could be a very powerful ally. Maybe he can be trusted." Kenji thought to himself. Hamtaro and Kenji fell asleep again. The evil ham that managed to escape, made it to the dark castle. He confronted Icernia. "Destroyer Dragon is alive and really has betrayed us, lord Icernia. He destroyed the other ham you sent with me!" The evil ham reported. "Thank you." Replied Icernia. "You have done well. You may retire for the night." she added. She went down the dark halls of the castle to tell Hamrigan the news.
