"Wait, Flicka, Weed! Can we rest? You're going so fast!" GB says as Weed and Flicka stop on top of a rock.

"Sorry.." Weed says as Flicka goes over to stand with Mel.

"It's alright. Don't worry. At least, I can smell Ohu. We cant just rest here." Smith says.

"I can easily keep up with Weed." Mel says.

"Me too." Flicka says.

"It's easy for you three to say such things! Hey, Weed!" GB says.

"What?" Weed asks.

"We still cant even see Futago Pass. Calm down a little!" GB says. Weed nods.

"I understand you high spirits. We should just continue forward!" Smith says.

"Smith is right the sooner we get moving the sooner we'll arrive at our destination." Alexis says.

"Yeah." Mel says.

"That's what the old man and aunt Alexis says, but don't go too fast!" GB says.

*Time skip*

Later after finding a place to bed down for the night Amber wakes up to find Smith growling at GB for telling Weed he can go on and runs after GB to help find Weed. Amber and GB then see Weed with two other dogs.

"Please wait! Pleas wait!" GB says he and Amber come running over.

"GB! Amber!" Weed says.

"It's true! Weed is one of the two pups of the leader, Gin! Weed has a sister named Flicka!" GB says.

"Stupid." One of the dogs says

"Don't come here randomly shouting nonsense!" The other dog says. Amber growls at the two dogs before hearing a gun go off and stops growling.

"It came from Gajou!" A dog says.

"Gajou? Isn't that where my dad is?" Weed says before running off.

"Weed!" GB says.

"Weed get back here!" Amber says.

"GB, Crisis, sorry! I must go to my dad!" Weed says.

"Wait, Weed!" GB says.

"That fool.." One of the dogs says.

"Don't care about it, Ken. Let's not worry about him. Taking down Kaibutsu is our priority here." The other dog says.

"Of course. We can't leave paradise to a group of cowardly mutts! We need to protect it ourselves!" One of the dogs says.

"Yes! We'll show that bastard the spirit of the Ohu soldiers! Let's do it!" The other dog says.

"Yes!" One of the dogs says before they run off followed by other dogs.

"Hey! The humans will get you if you go! ... and Kaibutsu!" GB says. Amber then runs after the dogs.

"Oh damn! Weed, don't die!" GB says as he runs after Amber and the other dogs. Amber then hears Weed scream as they arrive and see some kind of monster holding the leader in his mouth dead.

"K.. Kaibutsu!" One of the dogs says.

"Leader!" Both of the dog says as Kaibutsu drops the body and kicks it away and in front of Weed.

"Weed!" GB says and runs over to Weed.

"Bastard..!" Both of the dogs says.

"Kaibutsu! The rest of Ohu's soldiers aren't dead yet!" One of the dogs says as he attacks Kaibutsu.

"Don't take us lightly!" The other dog says as he attacks Kaibutsu followed by the other dogs and Amber.

"Weed! Get away! If you got hurt, Alexis, old man, and Amber would kill me!" GB says.

"Father..!" Weed says looking at the leader dead. Weed then hears a battle cry and looks toward the fight.

"I'm an Ohu soldier, Kagetora, the son of Kurotora! If you think a little scratch is gonna put my tail between my legs, your wrong!" One of the dogs says.

"Ohu soldier, Ken, the son of Ben! I'll take revenge on you, murderer of the leader!" The other dog says.

"Ohu soldier, Amber the daughter of Smith and Alexis! I'll fight for the leader!" Amber says as she, Ken, and Kagetora attack Kaibutsu.

"Weed! Hurry up and go!" GB says pulling on Weed's tail.

"No." Weed says causing GB to let go of Weed's tail.

"Everyone's fighting. I'd be no use if I just ran away from this. For my friends, for my dead father, I'll fight with them." Weed says as he runs toward the fight.

"Weed!" GB says.

"I am too... I am too.. one of the Ohu fighters! I'll protect my father's paradise!" Weed says.

"He's solid! My fangs aren't even cutting him!" Ken says.

"My teeth aren't working on him!"Kagetora says as Weed jumps up into the air.

"What the..?" Amber, Ken, and Kagetora say.

"I'm an Ohu fighter, Gin's son, Weed! Damn Kaibutsu, it ends here!" Weed says as Amber, Ken, and Kagetora get knocked off.

"Stop, Weed!" GB says.

"Kid!" Kagetora says.

"Do you want to die?!" Ken says.

"Weed don't your gonna die!" Amber says. Weed then dodges one of Kaibutsu's attacks and attacks Kaibutsu wounding him.

"He wounded Kaibutsu!" Kagetora says.

"No way.. he really is the son of the leader!" Ken says. A gun then goes and humans appear.

"There it is! Over there!" One of the humans says as they shoot at Kaibutsu chasing him off.

"Damn it... DAMN IT!" Ken says. After a while of walking and carrying the dead leader and a few other dogs they see Alexis, Smith, Flicka, and Mel.

"What happened to you all?!" Smith asks.

"Uncle Smith! Aunt Alexis!" Kagetora and Ken say. After explaining what had happened Alexis and Smith look at the dead leader.

"You're wrong! This guy isn't Gin! It's Gin's substitute, Tokimune!" Smith says.

"It's not our father?!" Weed asks.

"No its not." Alexis says.

"What are you two saying, Smith, Alexis?!" Kagetora asks.

"Now listen to what I'm saying, alright? This is the secret of the leaders. The five of us Gin, Akame, John, my mate Alexis, and myself all have substitutes." Smith says.

"How?!" Kagetora asks.

"After Gin and the other dogs had established paradise, they would frequently travel across land to settle other quarrels. We secretly trained dogs to fill in for us in our absence. Tokimune was chosen to be Gin. The reason they kept soldiers out of Gajou was to keep it a secret." Smith says.

"Then where is the leader now?" Ken asks.

"That I don't know. But, there's one thing I'm sure of. Gin's substitute was protecting Futago pass." Smith says.

"That's why he was acting like that to us on the cliff, that time!" Ken says.

"He didn't want us to die needlessly. That's why he didn't allow us to fight against Kaibutsu." Kagetora says.

"Weed! Your father is alive! Aren't you glad?" GB asks.

"I'm not! Tokimune died to protect me. At that time.. Tokimune was desperate to help me. Kaibutsu attacked and wounded him.. So it was my fault that Tokimune got caught by Kaibutsu.. And then.. Until the end, he kept telling me to go... Kaibutsu's appearance scared me so much. He was trying to protect me. I'm so sorry, Tokimune.." Weed says.

"A real dog! Tokimune is a real dog of Ohu!" Ken says.

"We're pathetic! We're all so pathetic!" Kagetora says.

"You lived your service as a substitute. This is heart-breaking, Tokimune.. until now you've taken so much. Why are we always a step behind Alexis?" Smith asks. Alexis then gently nuzzles Smith. After a little while everyone then buries Tokimune.

"Listen up! Tokimune and the others showed their true colors in battle. Everyone should learn from them." Smith says.

"Yes!" Everyone says.

"Wh..what's that?!" Smith asks feeling something strong nearby. Alexis growls getting the same feeling as Smith.

"What's wrong, Alexis, Smith?" Weed asks.

"We can feel it. An amazing aura.." Smith says.

"Could it be Kaibutsu?!" Ken asks.

"Up there!" Smith says pointing to five dogs up on a ledge.
