As Fleet, Stinky, Claudette and Magrill raced back to keep an eye on Cain and his allies, the four teen wolves had no idea that they were being followed by Able. The white spirit wolf hovered over them, ready to aid the teens when the time was right. After all, Able was looking to settle the score with his brother for all the evil he had done.
Meanwhile, Anna was being forced to submit to Cain as he violated her mind with images of what he had planned for her family and friends, a cruel smile on his face as the young female's mental strength began to fail. Runt being helpless, could only watch as his friend was subjected to such cruel torture. When Cain was done having his sick fun with the young female, he turned his attention to Runt. The young gray Omega closed his eyes as the dark wolf stood over him.
"Look at me," he laughed wickedly at the sight of Runt.
"You will open your eyes and see the true ruler of all the wolf packs around Canada. After I take Rex's pack, I'll have Hench take my new army and destroy the United Pack. As for your grandfather, I'll let Hench and his alphas rape every female alpha and omega there is in front of him, so that everyone will know, that Cain will always rule over all."
"You will never win," Runt said shivering through the pain he felt in his back legs. "My family will beat you, just like King-"
"Like King did when he pushed me onto the train tracks?" Cain asked him. "Well, let me tell you something Runt. It no longer matters that I'm dead, but to have wolves forget my name and never cower in my presence… Now that is something I cannot allow!" the dark wolf shouted in the young omega's face.
Then, Cain turned into his mortal form.
"You know what they say," he smiled placing his claws at Runt's eyes.
"See… No… Evil."
Then, with a swipe of his claws over the Omega's eyes, Cain blinded Runt.
Anna broke down crying as she watched her friend lose his sight. This only fueled Cain's power and he looked out toward the hills. It wouldn't be long before King and the others arrived.
By the time Fleet and the other arrived, Hench and his pack mates were already getting ready to face King and the others. Claudette looked around the enemy pack for her brother and Anna, and there she saw them.
Guarded by Cain himself.
Magril looked to see if there was someway they could draw off Cain and his goons so they could save Runt and Anna. That was when the four teen wolves felt it. Power began racing through their young bodies as Able met with them, prepared to give them the aid that they so needed.
Looking at the four teens, he turned to Fleet.
"You are young and powerful, but it is what you fight for that makes you the strongest Alpha there is Fleet. You have been given the spirit of Heart."
"I will always fight with my heart and think with my mind," Fleet proudly stated.
Turning to Fleet's sister, Able looked at her.
"Magril, ever since you were born, you strive to prove yourself. Now, you have proven to be brave and kind...your wisdom is what you've been given."
"T-thanks, I g-guess." Magril stuttered.
Able looked at Claudette.
"Claudette, ever since you met Fleet, you wanted nothing more then to spend your life with him," Claudette blushed a deep red as Able went on.
"But beauty is not the only thing you were gifted with. You were also gifted with the power of bravery. Never give into fear."
"I will let the fear I feel give me the will to stand firm." Claudette said bowing her head.
Able looked at the last of the teens.
"Stinky," the white wolf said. Stinky waited to hear something good on what he was gifted with, but instead of hearing what he wanted, Able said,
"Your parents were either really high on barriers or something to give you that name. But you have the gift of speed."
Stinky's ears dropped as he heard what Able had to say, his pride faltering even more when the other teens began to chuckle. After that, the four teen headed off to save Runt and Anna.
Anna laid next to Runt, his face still covered with blood, but he smiled when he felt the warmth of her body against his. Being blind, Runt wished he could look at Anna and see her smiling, but now, all the Omega could do was hear the sound of her quiet sobs. Whatever Cain had done to her really messed her mind up.
Cain looked at the two of them with a smile. Things were going good, but that was when he saw Stinky run by, moving faster then any wolf he had ever seen. It took the dark wolf a second to gather his thoughts, but he quickly alerted his minions to the young Alpha. In seconds, Hench and the others all turned and followed Cain in chase of Stinky.
When the dark wolf and his rouges were out of sight, Claudette and Fleet ran over to Runt and Anna. Before they could even move them, Stinky came crashing into the four of them. Fleet and Claudette looked up to see Cain holding Magrill in the air with his dark powers.
"I'm impressed," he said complimenting the teens. "I forgot all about you four, but I guess the four of you will have to wait your turn to feel the pain I wish to inflict upon you."
Now the thought of being beaten and raped by Cain and his goons were the last thing the teen wolves wanted. Thinking quickly, Magril thought up a way to escape with the others. She just hoped that the dark wolf and his followers would fall for it.
"L-Look b-behind you! It's the d-demon wolf of the d-dead!" she shouted, trying to sound as frightened as she could. With the addition of her stutter, Magril's plan worked like a charm! Cain and the others turned around trying to see this demon wolf. With them being distracted, Magril and Claudette lifted Runt up, placed him on Fleet's back and took off running. When Cain turned back around, he was shocked by the fact that he got fooled by a teenager using the oldest trick in the book.
"Can't believe I fell for that one," he sighed before exploding with pure rage.
"GO AND KILL THOSE BRATS!"
Hench and the others obeyed without a second thought, and soon they were hot on the tail of the six teen wolves.
As the rouges began to close the distance, Anna looked over to the left and saw a ray of hope. It was a mountain road, and there was a truck coming.
"Everyone, make a hard turn to the left!" she shouted.
The others turned left and headed for the road. As the fleeing teens neared the road, the sound of an approaching car hastened their pace. The teens crossed the road, but Stinky stopped and turned to face their pursuers. One of the rouges that was closest was a powerful built wolf with a black pelt with a white underbelly.
"Get that brat, James!" Hench shouted trailing behind his alley.
James soon made it to the road. There was Stinky, standing his ground. James smiled as he slowly walked toward the young alpha.
"You don't run… " he said admiring the teen for standing up to him. "You must be either very brave, or very stupid."
Stinky frowned.
"No, I'm just stalling you."
James stopped and realized he had been lead into a trap. He looked over his right shoulder to see a big rig truck coming straight at him.
"Oh shit," the rouge gasped before being run over.
"Remember," Stinky shouted as he turned to follow his team back, "Look both ways before crossing the road."
From afar, King and the others saw the teens were in great trouble. With the thought of losing his granddaughter, King pushed himself to the max. His old legs carried his aging body across a great distance before coming face to face with Cain.
Both of them looked at each other and bared their teeth. One was alive, the other a spirit.
Only one would come out on top.
Cain glared daggers at the wolf that had caused his defeat, the rage in his evil soul burning hotly as he growled menacingly at King. King, on the other paw, was briefly distracted as he saw the teenage wolves run past him to safety, his eyes widening as he saw the state that Runt was in. But, his expression quickly changed from shock to anger as he returned his gaze to Cain, only for it to travel to Hench who stood by the Dark Wolf's side along with the other demonic Alphas.
"I'm surprised to see you're still alive Hench," King growled at his former lieutenant, his eyes wandering over the clearly emaciated form of the former rogue, his fur a total mess.
"I suspect," King continued after a moment, "that Link and Lyle didn't fare any better?"
Hench let out a sick chuckle, one that sent shivers down King's spine.
"Those half-wits?" Hench laughed, "They didn't even last a week." As he said this, Hench's sadistic smile grew even more.
"Although I will admit, if it wasn't for them...I would have starved."
King's eyes widened upon realizing what Hench meant, a sudden bout of nausea hitting him at the very thought of Hench doing what needed to be done to survive.
"You're disgusting," King growled, only for Hench to laugh again.
"Oh please King," he quipped, "you would have done the same. After all, you yourself agreed that you were so hungry...you could eat a wolf."
King cast his gaze down as he heard this, remembering what he had said to Hench all those years ago. However, he would be damned before he gave Hench that satisfaction.
Unfortunately, Cain was losing his patients at this point.
"ENOUGH!" he shouted with a snarl, making Hench shrink back in submissions.
"Follow those weak teenagers, they will lead you to the others...and as you do, I will deal with King."
After Cain finished his sentence with a low growl, Hench and the others quickly departed, leaving Cain and King alone, the two glaring the other down as they began to circle each other menacingly.
"Before we start," King began ominously, "how are you hear?"
Cain, upon hearing this, let out a cruel chuckle.
"My anger has fueled me beyond measure, King," the Dark Wolf snarled, "my soul has been so imbued with that anger it will continue to roam this earth until my thirst for vengeance is quenched. And with that anger, was jealousy. I envied my brother, King. I could see that he was favored by all except my loyal followers. The fact that he was so favored fueled my anger."
Cain's face soon took on a sour expression at this thought.
"And I knew," he continued, "that as long as my brother lived, he would continue to inspire hope to those he had sought to overthrow me. But even after I killed him, he still inspired hope. But once I am through with you, I will deal with him."
"I think not brother."
Cain froze at the sound of the new voice, his eyes widening in shock as the form of his brother appeared beside King. "Your hatred has blinded you the fact that, as long as there is good in the world, their will always be hope."
Cain's shock soon turned to rage as he glared at the two wolves before him.
"Then I will snuff out that hope," he growled, "starting with you."
"We shall see," Able quipped with a sly smile before he did something that neither King nor Cain expected.
Placing a ghostly paw on King's shoulder, Able's body began to disappear as his spirit washed over King, whose yellow eyes began to shine with an ethereal white glow, his grey and black markings slowly changing to a golden sheen until his whole body was practically radiating light. When all was said in done, King looked toward Cain.
"Shall he begin?" he asked in a surprising combination of his own voice and Able's.
After recovering from his shock, Cain let out a menacing growl as he crouched down into a pouncing position.
"Let's," he lowly snarled before lunging at King, the latter following suit.
Meanwhile, the six teenage wolves, Runt still placed on Fleet's back, wove between trees and rocks, their enemies hot on their tails.
"We can't shake em!" Stinky called as he narrowly missed being tackled by Tex. Fortunately, the group found a ray of hope, courtesy of the sound of Rex's voice.
"Kids!" he called from the top of hill, "up here!"
With Rex in their sights, the group charged up the hill. Once they had reached Rex, the group continued to run, this time with Rex on their tails, out of sight of the advancing enemy. Looking to his left and right, Hench snarled out orders.
"They have nowhere to run!" he bellowed. "Remember to kill the males, but spare the females."
The group of Alpha's let out evil chuckles as they bounded over the hilltop, only to stop in surprise at the sight of Rex, backed by his army of Alpha's, Sam and Eve standing by his side as they all growled and snarled at Hench's forces. After a few moments of staring each other down, Rex shouted to his followers.
"CHARGE!"
In an instant, both sides were charging at each other, shouting or howling battle cry's before coming together in a great battle. Meanwhile, as the carnage commenced, the group of teenagers happened upon Humphrey and Kate, the two parent's eyes widening at the sight of their youngest child as fleet laid him down.
"Runt," Kate called in a pained whisper, tears forming in her eyes as her son lay motionless. "Runt," she called again hoping to get a response.
"Ru...Marcus...Marcus, honey, can you here me?"
After a few moments, Runt, or rather, Marcus, answered.
"Mom?" he rasped out. Kate's eyes widened as a hopeful smile spread on her face.
"Yes sweetie," she responded, pressing her head against her son's blood stained cheek, "I'm here, Marcus, mommy's here." Letting out a cough, Runt continued to speak.
"I thought we agreed Runt was a better fit for me."
Letting out a forced laugh, Humphrey, along with Stinky, Claudette and Anna gathered around Runt.
Unfortunately, the bitter-sweet moment was interrupted by growls coming from behind them. Turning to the source of the growls, the group could see several evil Alphas ganging up on them. Having none of this, and wanting to protect the wounded wolf beside him, Humphrey, accompanied by his eldest children and their friends, stood their ground as they snarled back at their adversaries. Fortunately for them, they would not have to lift a paw.
"NOT MY FAMILY YOU BASTARDS!"
Before any of them could blink, Kate lunged herself right into the group of evil Alpha's, all of them soon attempting to escape in fear as Kate used a force more powerful than anything in the universe, dead or undead;
Maternal Instinct.
Runt, upon hearing the carnage that his mother was inflicting, shuddering slightly at the unmistakable sound of a wolf's throat being ripped out and said wolf choking on their own blood.
"I'm actually glad I can't see what's going on," he murmured. Humphrey numbly nodded in agreement as the other's stared wide eyed as Kate literally tore one of the wolves tails off and shoved it down his throat.
"Probably for the best son," Humphrey answered, "because your mother his definitely Grandma Eve's daughter."
Back on the main field of battle, Eve was actually faring about the same as her daughter, this time in the defense of a nearly raped Delilah. Only, instead of a tail, she shoved the wolf's own balls down his throat, leaving Sam and Rex, the two having just dispatched two other dark Alpha's, wide eyed, as well as instinctively covering their own groins with their tails.
"Remind me never to piss Eve off," Rex whispered to Samuel, who rapidly nodded in response.
The moment, however, was soon interrupted by a loud scream coming from a female.
Turning to the source, Rex's eyes widened as he saw Jenna pinned under a brown furred wolf, his erect member dangling between his legs, a lustful smile on his face as he prepared to defile her. Overcome with a profound feeling of rage, Rex charged at the wolf, knocking him of his fiance before quickly using his claws to the slash the stunned wolf's throat.
Sam found himself smiling at the tender scene of Rex helping Jenna to her feet, gently nuzzling her as a means to offer some comfort. But as this happened, Sam was tackled to the ground. Looking in the direction of his attacker, Sam snarled as Hench began to menacingly stalk toward him, a sadistic smile on his face.
"I'm going to enjoy this," he growled before he and Sam, a snarl on his own muzzle, lunged at each other.
