"Don't worry, Josh. This is just to lure that wolf out into the open," Manik said as he locked Josh in a metal box.

"I know that, Manik. I just think I should be able to eat something," Josh said.

"There's some food in there."

"Where?"

"In a corner of the box," Manik said.

"Corner of the box," Josh muttered as he looked around the box. He stopped looking when he found a pile of cheeseburgers in the corner.

"There you are."

"Find it?"

"I did," Josh said as he ate one of the cheeseburgers.

"Don't think your best friend would lock you in a metal box without something to chow down on," Manik said.

"I never do."

"Josh in the cage," Sonia asked as she and Lara walked to Manik.

"He is."

"Good. This plan has to work. Otherwise, we may have to resort to Plan B."

"What's Plan B," Josh asked as he ate his cheeseburger.

"Manik, I thought I told you to not to give Josh any food," Sonia said.

"Well, I don't think Josh should be locked in a box without some nutrients, so I gave him something to eat," Manik said.

"But you went against my orders."

"Orders, schmorders. Josh was going to starve in that box if I didn't give him some food."

"Sonia, you would let your own boyfriend starve?"

"It was all a part of the plan, but now the plan's ruined because of Manik," Sonia said.

"I just don't want Josh to die of starvation," Manik said.

"Guys, stop arguing," Josh said as he grabbed another cheeseburger.

"Listen, Sonia. The plan is to capture a wolf. I just don't see how starving me is relevant to that plan."

"It is relevant. You two just don't know it is."

"Hey, wait a second," Josh said before Lunos started howling. As if on command, the moon had risen from the horizon and placed itself in the sky.

"Oh, man. Here comes that feeling of evil again." Josh then dropped his cheeseburger before being covered by a shroud of darkness and transforming into his Werehog form.

"I am Lunos' soldier. No one will stop me from fulfilling his orders," Werehog Josh said before breaking the front of the cage down.

"Oh, man. He's too strong."

"Now you see why Josh had to starve, Manik. He wouldn't have done that if he was starving. I was taking away his strength by having him not eat anything," Sonia said.

"Nice going, Manik. Now, you doomed us all," Lara said.

"Hold on. I didn't know this would happen, so don't go blaming me for all this," Manik said.

"Your friends are smart unlike you. Thanks to you, I have all the strength I need to destroy all of you."

"Not if we have anything to say about it," Shade said as he and Dominic threw themselves onto Josh's back.

"Hey! Get off my back," Werehog Josh shouted.

"No way! Sonia, take the shot," Dominic said.

"Right! Omega Yellow!" Sonia then morphed into her ranger persona before getting out her trusty Omega Bow.

"Sonia, what are you doing?!"

"It's the only way, Manik. One shot and this Werehog's down for the count," Sonia said as she prepared to shoot off an arrow.

"But you'll hit Josh, too. You can't do this," Manik said.

"I'm sorry, Manik, but it doesn't matter if Josh is your best friend. I've already forgotten I'm destined to rule by his side. I'm ready to end this once and for all."

"No! You can't! I won't let you!" Manik then morphed and tried to stop Sonia from killing Josh by using his Omega Lance to snatch away her Omega Bow.

"Got it," Manik said before Lara tackled him. The force of her tackle caused Manik's helmet to come off and land ten inches from them.

"Lara, get off me! That is an order from the prince of Mobius!"

"Sorry, Manik, but Sonia has to do this. Otherwise, Lunos wins. She has to do for the sake of our world. If you have a problem with your own sister shooting your best friend, tough. This has to be done. Sonia, I got Manik pinned down."

"Thanks, Lara. Now to end this," Sonia said as she got ready to shoot off another arrow. Before she could, Josh's voice rang out inside her head.

"Sonia, you can't do this. If you do, then it's over for us. We can never rule as the king and queen of Sol," it said.

"Sorry, Josh, but I have to for Mobius' sake."

"Think about what you're doing, Son. If you shoot me, then you're taking me away from Manik."

"Sorry, Josh, but Manik ruined Plan A. He has to pay the price for his insubordination," Sonia said.

"I understand, but think about what you're doing."

"I swear, Josh, you are such a broken record."

"I may be a broken record, but I'm making much more sense than your plan to kill me. I know Manik ruined Plan A, but he shouldn't pay the price so Plan B can work. Is that all you've got or do you have a Plan C," Josh's voice asked.

"I do have a Plan C," Sonia said.

"Then put it into motion already and spare my life."

"I will. Thanks, Josh."

"You're welcome," Josh's voice said before fading away.

"I'm putting Plan C into action," Sonia said as she kept her aim on Josh.

"Sonia, don't do it," Manik shouted as Lara held him down.

"I'm sorry, Manik. You ruined Plan A. Now you have to pay the price for your insubordination."

"You can't!"

"Sorry, Manik," Sonia said before shooting off her arrow.

"No," Manik shouted as the arrow whizzed through the air.

"Josh!"

"Right!" Werehog Josh then got out of the arrow's path seconds before the arrow could hit him.

"Impossible. The arrow was aimed towards Josh. Unless...," Lunos started before Sonia's arrow lodged itself in his side.

"Curse you, Sonia Acorn." Lunos then closed his eyes, indicating that his life had ended. Josh groaned as he transformed back into his regular hedgehog form.

"Sonia, what happened," Josh asked.

"Just Plan C. Thanks to your voice ringing inside my head, I skipped Plan B," Sonia said.

"Let me help you up," Lara said as she helped Manik to his feet.

"Thanks, Lara. Now, would either of you mind telling me what just happened," Manik asked.

"Apparently, thanks to my voice sounding off in Sonia's head, she went with Plan C instead of Plan B and shot Lunos point blank."

"Good. For a minute there, I thought you were meeting your end right then and there."

"Don't worry, Manik. I ain't going anywhere from now on, thanks to Sonia," Josh said.

"Now you're just embarrassing me."

"I should be able to, Sonia. You're my future queen."

"Come on. It's about time we got back, guys."

"Sounds like a plan, Dominic. Let's go," Josh said before he and everyone else started the journey back to New Mobotropolis.
