And now...we see what happens to the rest of the orphans. And Max makes a very big decision.
Future of the Young Victims
As Yuki reunites with her siblings upstairs, everyone else downstairs discusses the future of the young victims as some of them were in the house; tired, afraid and a little bit unsure of where to go from here. Among them, several teenagers from different species; ranging from wolves to tigers, lions, panthers and leopards, ages 15-19, young adults from ages 20-24 and young cubs and kids from ages 4-14 in which most of the older kids are either biological or some of them took them in as their brother or sister.
Some of the Crimson Wolf members were a little concerned for their future and they know that they need some guidance and give them a good home and a family and Akashi said, "These guys need a place to call home and be safe and secure, but we also know that we've got kids of our own and the last thing we should do is place them in an orphanage."
Max thought about this for a quick second and he was thinking expanding his kids to 16 by taking in one of them at the most and he looked at Saori for a minute and immediately Saori could tell that Max was gonna take in one of them and add them to the family and she said, "Are you sure, Max?"
"Yeah. We've wanted a big family and why not have one more adopted child?" Max replied.
Akashi's ears perked up at that idea and he said, "Are you kidding? You guys got a big enough family."
"Well...what else can we do?" asked Max.
Miyo could tell that Max had a very strong point there that one of these kids need stability and if Max and Saori are willing to bring in one more adopted kids, why not do so? She then said to Max and Saori, "Are you guys gonna adopt one?"
"Well, we weren't planning to because we've got the two adopted cubs already. But after seeing all of those poor cubs, they need a good home and a good family and we'd be selfish to turn them away." Saori replied.
"Please be selfish for one minute. You've got enough kids as it is." Akashi pleaded.
Akashi's response made Miyo give him a swift slap in the back to the head and she said, "Akashi! You've been an uncle to their kids for years! You can handle having another one!"
Just then, some of the Crimson Wolf members stepped in and suggested to step up to the plate to take in some of those kids whether some of them have kids of their own, married but have no kids or if some of them were single parents or just single without kids and Mason even suggested to taking in some of the orphans as well and it was finally all settled and Akashi had agreed to take in Raikoda as his own wolf son and raise him. The one question; what of Rex and his siblings?
Suko stepped in and suggested to take in Rex and his younger siblings and raise them despite having two sons and three daughters of his own, but he's willing to do his best to do so and he said, "I'll take in the three panthers and raise them as if they were my own. My wife's expecting anyway and we've always wanted a huge family so this would be a special thing for both of us."
"Very kind of you, Suko." Akashi responded.
Soon enough, some of the Crimson Wolf members walk by the living room and they pretty much had their choices cut out for them, but they knew which ones they would want to take in. After almost an hour and a half of making their choices, all that's left was three cubs; one male Bengal tiger cub; one female snow leopard cub and one male white wolf cub that were anxiously waiting to see who's next and when they saw that the Crimson Wolf members left, they were really disappointed that they didn't get adopted.
And yet another male snow leopard cub was just waiting to see who's getting adopted next and soon enough, the last five orphans saw Max and Saori come in along with Suko, plus Rex, Rainbow and Luke and as Suko makes his way out, Max looks up at the five orphans...including the female black wolf cub as he looks at all of them and said, "Well...it looks like you five are here with us."
"Who's gonna take us in?" the worried female snow leopard asked.
Max gathers them all together and tells them, "We're gonna take you guys in."
Some of them were a little surprised to hear that while one wasn't so sure about this and the male white wolf cub said, "Honest?"
"Very honest. You guys need a better life here and a family that really loves you and cares about you." Max added.
Saori agreed with this and she said, "Think of this as your new life right here and where you guys can start over. We promise you that we'll do everything we can to raise you all."
"But don't you already have kids?" asked the male Bengal tiger cub.
"Yeah, we do. But we believe that every child deserves a second chance and a better family that will provide shelter, protection and love. We're willing to do what we can to take care of you five." Saori added.
Five of those cubs seem reluctant at first, but once they realized that they really meant what they said, they seemed willing to open up and the male white wolf cub immediately ran towards Max and hugged him tightly and the other three followed suit as well, leaving the male Bengal tiger cub a little guarded to see this and once Saori walks over to the Bengal cub, she got on his level and said, "Give us a chance."
She reaches out and hugs him tightly and the young Bengal tiger cub wraps his arms around his new mother and he sheds a few tears afterwards that he's gonna be a part of a family. A few minutes later, Mason, Seto, Yuki, Kaiba, Sereniyu, Sapphire, Jason, Maximus II, Akashi II, Shinoda, Aurora and Marcus walked downstairs alongside Sonya and Ikuto and they were surprised to see the last five cubs standing here and Seto asked, "What's going on, guys?"
"Guys...these are your new brothers and sisters." Max said, bringing in the five orphaned cubs.
"Now we got people to play with!" Maximus II said, excitedly.
The five cubs walks over to the other kids and sees them for the first time and Kaiba said, "Welcome to the family, guys."
"It feels great for some reason." the female black wolf replied.
Jason chuckled at this and said, "Trust us...it never gets boring."
We've got the drama behind us! Next up...Ikuto's 20th birthday!
