"Migo, please calm down. Panicking would only make things worse," Meechee told the anxious Migo. Poor Migo could not stay still. He kelp, pacing back and forth with such various unpleasant thoughts and 'what if's. Gwangi and Kolka sat in hopelessness as they watched them.

"I can't, Meech."

Migo and gang, we're forced into a dungeon made of the thickest ice in the world by the guards. They have been trapped in the cell for hours, and that has tense hopeless hours for them. Migo first tried to banging on the ice; it went off for a few minutes until his arms got worn out. He had this strong spark in him that told him not to give up no matter what. But as time progressed, that spark died down within him. Now he can only think.

"What if they got them and now? What if...the Stonekeepr has Smallfoot?"

"We don't know that for sure, Migo!"

"Meech, we have to get out of here!"

"I know, Migo! I'm working on a way out of here!" Meechee looked frankly at walls for any cracks, clues, or something. She still had hope in heart; she still had spark, but it has begun to dim down.

"We're stuck in here, Meechee. The ice is way too thick, even for me. " Gwangi spoke up. Kolka did a long gasp.

"Don't say that!" Kolka replied. "Will get out of here...eventually."

"When it's too late!" Migo cries out. He fell to his knees and begun to sob softly with his hands covering his eyes. Meechee came to his side by getting to her knees. She hugs him tightly with all of her heart; she too was in tears. She tries to assure him that everything is going to be okay.

"I-It's going to be okay, Migo."

"You don't know that. I'm a horrible friend to him, Meech. And now him and Fleem are in danger because of me." He whimpered.

"No your not, your bestest friend that little guy could ask for. You were only trying to protect him." Meechee then sighs, she had one more thing to say.

"And I guess I am one to blame for making you bring him along; I'm sorry, Migo." Migo stays silent as but intended to hug Meechee back in response. He whimpers into her shoulder, quietly. All he could think about is the Smallfoot and the others. Meechee had a tear streaming down her face.

Gwangi and Kolka looked at each other and saddeneds, thinking they failed and let everybody down at home.

Hope is gone, and that spark just blew out.

The village is under lockdown for searching for the last yeti apart of Meechee's group. All cards crawled around the village for any sign of him. They kelp it quite, since the twilight still linger around, and the villagers we're still in a deep slumber in their fantasy lands.

Then three heads popped up from behind a big bolder, Percy, Fleem, and Teal. Percy wished he had his useful binoculars with him to get a closer look at the perimeter, but that's in his backpack. Binoculars or not, it's easy to tell that the whole palace is guarded. They hid back behind the bolder, so they wouldn't be seen.

"Okay, I may have a plan for all of us to get in easily." Teal explains.

"I'm all ears." Fleem listened in while Percy nodded his head to show he'll be listening too, despite not understanding her. She used her finger to draw the plan on the ground. She also drew a diagram of then palace.

"Okay, here we go. To get in, you'll pretend to be my prisoner while I'll have Smallfoot in the jar. The guards will put you where your friends are. Then I and the Smallfoot will free the captives when my father is not looking. Then we will free you and your friends. Then we will all escape on mammoths at the stables. Mission accomplished."

Percy smiles, he all in for the plan. He took pictures on his phone, so he had the plan.

Fleem's jaw newly hit the floor; her plan is so well elaborate and thought out. He's not sure he understood it all. How in the world did she come up with an idea like that so quick?

"Any questions before we do this for real?"

"Uh...I have a few concerns."

"Go ahead."

"...Don't your village need the truth about the Smallfoots and the stones? And what about your father? What if he seizes the Smallfoots again?" Fleem asked questions that Teal did not even consider. It's more focused on the future then the plan itself. She sighs.

"I don't know what to do about that, but for now, let's focus on saving everyone first."

"Okay, then. As for your plan, let me just say I'm all in for it...except for the part that I'm a prisoner."

"I'm afraid that's our only option, Fleem."

"Aww!"

The plan begins. Teal escorted Fleem to the palace, who is tied up in rope to make it look convincing to the guards. Percy is meanwhile in a jar held by Teal. The jar is supposed to be crucial evidence - she kelp shoving Fleem forward to the entrance, where two guards guarded the door. Their eyes widened at her.

"Here you go, gentleman. I caught have caught the other corporate with the most damning item of the crime! You can call off the search!" She tightened the rope on Fleem.

"Ow! Hey! Ease up on the rope!"

The guards looked at each other in surprise and nodded at each other. And gave the signal to the other guards near that Fleem had been found. The other guards passed it on. Their attention turns back to Teal and a tied up Fleem.

"Nice work, Teal. Your father will be pleased and relieved." One the guards said. The other guards open the entrance door. They all walked into the palace. The plan is now moving, and so far, it's going smoothly as she planned. The door closed behind them.

"Will take that yeti off your hands; he'll be with the others." The guard told her. Teal pushed Fleem forward to the guards, where they both grab him by the wrists tightly.

"Why are you two grabbing me so hard? Sacred, I'll escape?" Fleem asked innocently. The guards ignore him.

"I'll take this piece of evidence down." Teal told them with authority.

"Great." The guards walked away with Fleem. Teal would smile to herself right now, but she wanted to keep it down. She couldn't believe the plan was working. Percy peeked upfront of the jar, seeing their about to head downstairs. Then Percy figured it out. Their downstairs, of course!

Teal was about to walk down the open spiral staircase with the jar in her hands. Until...

"Oh, Teal, I forgot to tell you! The Stonekeeper is down there waiting for you!"

Her heart rate went up when she heard those words. Her father is with the Smallfoots as they speak. That would explain why the staircase is open. She turned her head to the guards calmly. Fleem's eyes widen, telling her with his face, this is not going according to plan, what are you going to do?

"He said he wants to talk to you about something."

"Oh, okay. Thank you." The guards whisked Fleem away from sight, leaving Teal to her thoughts about this. She had careful and courteous about approaching this. She knew it wasn't going to be easy, but she had to. Before she headed down, she opened the top to check on Percy. He is a bit nervous about what's going on; she doesn't blame him.

"Your mate and the other Smallfoots have been kelp captive downstairs the whole time." She whispers to him to assure him before they head down. "But don't worry, I've been feeding them and keeping them company when my dad is not looking."

Despite not understanding her, he notices she seem positive and confident about this. Just like her, he's positive about this, too, and is ready to help in any way he can. He's done sitting on the sidelines. He nodded at her in understanding. Teal placed the top back jar and headed downstairs to face her father.

As she walked down, it became darker. Sure enough, the red glowing snails start popping up from its walls. The walls itself became a red stone. When she went down the last few stairs, she enters the light up medium size room full of items.

A miscellaneous of Smallfoot items.

The room contained food, clothing, junk, all items a smallfoot use on a day to day bases. She would study these things to see what they are used for. Then eyes traveled to a cage that hung up high. And there they were.

The Smallfoots all gathered together. Some sat, and some are standing up on their little feet. There were times where Where chat among themselves, but most of the time, they're all miserable. She doesn't blame them. Then a Smallfoot spot her, Brenda.

"Hey." The Smallfoot, whispers yelled with a little wave. Another from Smallfoot came beside her.

"...Hi," A voice said unwillingly. Percy knew those voices; he nearly gasped. Can it truly be? Before she can speak, she saw the Stonekeeper facing the map on the wall with his hands folded behind him. Before she went to talk to him, she places the jar on the counter, leaving Percy to peek through on their conversation, that's when he saw the map of the Smallfoot villages. Teal walked up to him with ease.

"Father, you wanted to speak with me about something?" His back is still facing her; she knew right away; it's serious, which is not a good sign at all.

"Yes, I wanted to talk to you about the Smallfoot matter with you." He spoke with little emotions.

"Oh...Okay." She went to stand beside him. His eyes never left the map, not even to take a look at her.

"You have been doing an outstanding job pursuing theses...little savages from their villages, daughter."

"Thank you, father."

"But it seems their still not getting message is to leave. So I decided to go for a...more effective approach." He said. Percy watches two yetis growling at each other. Maybe he's discussing some sort of plan what to do them? He had an awful feeling in his stomach about it. Percy decided to take his phone out to record their whole conversation. He may not know what's going on, but Migo and the other will when they see the video.

"Effective approach? Like what?" Teal is not sure how long she can keep this act. Her father had a piece of chalk and drew a line that started at their village and drew it all to the largest Smallfoot village, Percy's home.

"I have a plan to strike attack on the Smallfoot village with a powerful army."

Teal eyes widened. Her blood ran cold.

"At daybreak, me and the guards will be riding on the backs of mammoths. We will charges down there with full force and destroy everything and everyone in sight. Taking down their greatest defense. And once that village is down,"

The Stonekeeper to drew an 'X' on the village.

"We will spread to the other villages and take back what's ours. And once all the Smallfoots are dead and gone, all yetis will truly be safe and free to rome around as they please." He put all 'X's on all Smallfoot village on the map. That when Percy realized what he was talking about, he felt like his heart is going explode.

The Stonekeeper finally turned to her. "And I wanted you to be there by my side." Teal had to do something; this is going too far.

"Father...they don't deserve this," Teal said, dodging his offer.

"What? Of course, they do! They took everything from us! Our land, our lives, your mother!"

"Would mother want this!? Declaring genocide on the innocent because of something that happened in the past!?" Teal shouted at him.

"Innocent!? Have those little monsters and those Smallfoot lovers gotten into your head?" Teal stayed quiet for a second before she smiled confidently.

"Yes, they have!" She yelled out proudly. She wanted to get that out for so long, it felt great. She never felt so alive. Of course, her father is not happy with Teal right now. He sighs.

"I'll make this right." He mumbles.

"What?"

Suddenly, the Stonekeeper garbed her by the left wrist and didn't dare to let go. That made Percy winced; he's not sure he can watch this anymore.

"W-What are you doing?" Teal asked, startled.

"You have been brainwashed, Teal. All you have been affected by their...cuteness. Ugh!" Her father started to take his daughter upstairs.

"Father! Stop! Let me go! You don't know what you are doing!" Her voice faded away to a point Percy couldn't hear her anymore. Percy hit the stop button and begun to weep to himself. He sat down and shut his eyes. Never in his life, the redhead felt this stunned and scared. The way he treated her and the fact he's coming to demolish all the villages. He wished Migo were here right now with him. And he probably would know what to do.

Why? Is he doing this? Why does he hate us so much? He wanted to know the answers so badly.

What am I doing? Percy took a few deep breaths and dry his warm tears away. He then peeked out of the jar to the coast was clear. No yeti insight. He climbed out of the pot and gazed around until it landed on the cage.

Hope

"Brenda!? Are you in there!?"

"P-Percy?!" Brenda walked upfront and looked down and saw him."Oh, my god! You're here!" That got everyone railed up in the cage to come to to see for themself.

"Yeah, I am. Are you guys, okay!?"

"We're okay, surprisingly,"

"What?! That's impossible!" Hank went to see for himself. He couldn't believe his eyes. "How on god's green earth did you get here? How did you find this place?"

"I had help, Hank. Snowball, Wonder, and the others. We all come to save all of you." Percy announced. Hank was a little surprised by that. One would chat with one another.

"We're saved!"

"Thank God, were saved."

"Oh...May."

"Where's is Wonder and the others now?" Brenda asked desperately out of the heart.

"They have been captured too!" Percy shouted in sadness. Everyone gasped in shock; even Hank was surprised. Brenda felt burning tears coming on. Poor Wonder. She figured Aqua, what Brenda has named Teal, has been taken to.

"...Oh, no."

"What are you going to do now?" Hank asked.

"I-I don't know." When Percy is was trying to think of something, his surroundings all suddenly became darker, he notices. Everyone gasped. "Percy! lookout! Behind you!" Cried out, Brenda. Percy turned around quickly and came face to face with a carious yeti. Whoever he is, he had his backpack. Percy yelp and backed up slowly.

"Shhh, it's okay. I'm not going to hurt you. Any of you." Cornell said softly. He looked at the caged Smallfoots and saddened. "I want to help you and your friends." Then Percy stopped backing up, recognizing he wasn't going harm him. It was sorta awkward.

"Hi. I'm Cornell."

Percy gave a little wave. "Hello."

Everyone is astonished by seeing this interaction, even Hank was. Percy then turned to the cage. An idea pops up in his head; maybe this rescue mission wasn't a total loss after all.

"Can you help them, please?"
