"Weed! It's an emergency!" GB shouts as Amber is following quickly behind him heading to Weed, Flicka, and Jerome.
"One of the leaders, Akame, has come here!" Amber shouts.
*Timeskip*
"We've found them uncle Akame!" Amber shouts as they are arriving where Ken, Kagetora, and Akame are.
"Pleased to meet you. I'm Weed and this is my sister Flicka." Weed says kindly as Akame looks at him and Flicka shocked.
"Old man Akame, this is them." Kagetora says.
"You two are Gin's..." Akame says.
"Yes." Flicka says as Weed smiles.
"Old man." Ken says seeing Akame smiling before shedding tears.
"I may be an old guy.. But pups.. at last. There is something I have to tell you. The leader.. no, your father.. is in danger." Akame says.
*Timeskip*
"Weed, we should leave right now." Kagetora says.
"But.." Weed says as he looks at the ground.
"What is it? Do you want to abandon the leader!?" Ken shouts as Amber growls at him.
"Enough! Let the pup speak. I'm sure that he isn't abandoning his father but you all barking at him for an answer does not help." Amber growls.
"It's just, if we leave so soon.. who'll look after things here? Mel, how's Akame?" Weed asks as Mel and Flicka come out of the hole in the rocks.
"He's okay, he's just very tired. He went straight to sleep." Mel says.
"Yes he's very exhausted." Flicka says.
"I wouldn't doubt that. He's been running all this time.." Ken says as he looks at Mel.
"Weed, we'll leave Akame and some others to take care of this place." Jerome says as he looks at Weed.
"And me too." Mel says as he goes over to weed followed by Flicka.
"I'll stay too. I'm not much of a fighter and besides I've got people to keep me company while your gone." Flicka says.
"Flicka are you positive?" Amber asks as Flicka smiles and nods.
"Alright. Let's get going!" Kagetora shouts as he takes a step forward.
"Kagetora, don't be so hasty. Hougen could have a lot of followers on his side. It'd be best if some of us stayed here." Jerome says as everyone looks at him.
"That's true, but if we're to rescue the leader, we'll need a lot of soldiers helping us. We must gather. I'll go back and assemble the others. Wait for us." Ken says.
"Yes." Kagetora says as Ken runs off.
"Well, we should leave here now." Jerome says as he looks at Weed.
"Is it alright to just leave Akame like this?" Weed asks.
"He's in bad condition, and it'd be best if he stays behind to sleep and regain his strength again. If I know uncle Akame he'll refuse to stay behind if he knows what we're doing." Amber says.
"Amber is right. And in order to protect this place, we need Akame's strength. And so, you guy's are the ones who need to settle this fight. The second generation. If we're going to keep this place a paradise, we can't keep relying on the older guys. Agree with me?" Jerome asks as Weed nods in agreement.
"Alright. Let's go to the alps!" Weed says as those following him go after him before being later joined up by Ken, other dogs, and two of Amber's sisters Vixen and Roxanne.
*Timeskip*
"Wait up! Let me come with you!" A voice shouts revealing to be a orange dog running behind the group.
"Hello. I'm Weed. Who're you?" Weed says as the dog is running beside him before Amber slows down enough to run beside Weed.
"Yes who are you?" Amber asks.
"I'm Rocket. A while ago, I fought for the leader." The dog says as amber looks at him suspiciously hearing this.
"Is that so? Gin, the leader, is my father. I have a sister as well but we left her some friends. I'm pleased to meet you." Weed says kindly.
"Huh? The leader's..?" Rocket says as Amber continues looking at him causing him to look away from her.
*Timeskip*
"That old guy and his followers said they didn't want to fight!?" Kagetora shouts seeing they've lost many of their followers.
"Yeah. They thought Hougen's fighters were ten times more powerful than them. They're weak for thinking like that and running off." Ken says.
"Somebody must of said something bad to them." Jerome says.
"My thinking as well. I doubt they would of left thinking something like that on their own." Roxanne says.
"What did you say? If you say something like that again, I won't forgive you!" GB shouts as he is standing with Rocket getting the group's attention.
"What's going on here?" Amber asks as she goes over to the two with Jerome.
"He's saying there's no way we can win against Hougen!" GB says as he looks at Rocket.
"But.. doesn't he have ten times as many fighters than you do?" Rocket asks.
"Who did you hear that from?" Jerome asks.
"Uhh.. well... It was the old guy! He told me last night!" Rocket says.
"That old guy! I'll push those words back down his throat!" Kagetora shouts angrily.
"If he's going to be scared with just that, he wouldn't be able to face Hougen anyway.." Ken says as everyone then looks at Rocket.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to run, or are you going to help us?" Jerome asks as Rocket looks away.
"Well, I..." Rocket says.
"But.. we can't force anyone. It's something everyone needs to do at their own will." Weed says causing the group to look at him.
"Unfortunately the leader's kid is correct. We can't force others to follow us but we can continue to gather. He is much like the leader and is making a decent leader now in his father's place. My sister is correct. He is a young leader but has the makings of a good one all the same." Vixen says as the others look at her.
"Hey.. he's your leader? Are you serious!?" Rocket asks.
"Yes, Weed is our leader. Oh yea.. we haven't mention that to you yet.." GB says.
"Is there a problem with that?" Amber asks.
"N-No. There is no problem." Rocket says nervously before he looks at Weed.
*Timeskip*
"What is it Jerome?" Weed asks as the group stops running.
"Your our leader. In short, your in charge of paradise." Jerome says.
"So, let it be our job to get the food." Amber says.
"Jeez, stop it." Weed says.
"Alright let's get to it." Amber says as she runs off with some of the others behind her.
*Timeskip*
While running amber soon looks back to Weed seeing him checking on the older dogs before smiling.
"By the way, I wanted to ask you something. Why do accept that kid as your leader? Why do you accept that kid as your leader? Even if that brat is the son of the leader, do you really think he'll exceed him?" Rocket asks as Jerome and Amber look at him.
"Of course. Even though Weed is still just a kid right now.. But, Weed has something inside of him.. Something that the rest of us are missing." Jerome says before speeding up his pace.
"We follow him because we want to see what that is." Amber says as she runs faster to run beside GB before the group stop hearing a scream seeing Rocket grabbed Weed and is running off with him now soon out of sight.
"Everyone after him!" Amber shouts as the group splits up trying to track Rocket's scent as they are coming in different directions.
