The fight seemed endless. Every time they knocked Splendont down he jumped right back up again. It didn't seem to matter to him about his injuries or that he must be exhausted. He was determined to win and kill them all.
"Splendid!" Splendid heard the call too late as a tree was flung at him from the right. He tried to dodge but he was so tired the tree didn't miss him entirely. It caught his leg and within a second his knee snapped to the side at a 90 degree angle. The hero screamed in pain falling to the ground as pain overwhelmed his senses and suddenly he couldn't fight anymore. He was so very, very tired and he just wanted it all to stop. A sob tore through his sore throat and more followed. He couldn't fight anymore. He was done.
Fox felt her heart stop as she watched her leader cry in pain. His body disfigured to the point when even she, who had seen many deaths in Happy Tree, couldn't stop the sour taste in her mouth.
While she was distracted Splendont lunged forward crashing into the fallen hero while his friends were stunned, knowing one thing. If he was going to die he was going to finish off the Blue squirrel first.
"SPLENDID!" Webby shrieked as he ran towards her injured leader.
But Splendont was faster in the blink of an eye he floated over one of the tall trees bellow the team holding up their leader. Fox didn't even have time to breath before he Friend, leader and role model was impaled onto the tree, the green leaves coloured red with the squirrels blood as they were forced through the hole in his stomach that was slowly getting wider as he slid down the tree.

Shifty didn't want to come too, he was in so much pain. His feet was throbbing and his head ached too. Especially behind his eyes-
Shifty jumped up before he was jerked back down. He cried out in pain at the pain in the palms of his hands and feet.
"Argh...?" He glanced at his left hand to see a long piece of glass nailing him to the wall. He guessed that his other hand and his feet were probably the same way. He couldn't express the pain he was feeling, his body weight put so much pressure on his useless arms and legs that he was being slowly pulled down, the glass tearing through his hands and feet.
"Shifty..?" The older racoons head snapped to see his brother sitting in the Generals lap he obviously beaten while Shifty was out. His face was black and blue and his cheek was swollen. Shiftys heart hurt just looking at him.
"Ah you're awake!" The General greeted him "I was getting so bored" The Generals emphasis on 'bored' made Lifty flinch. As he did the General smirked and his claw travelled down the helpless racoons back. "I don't like to be bored"
Shifty struggled against the glass, wanting to get down and protect his frightened little brother no matter what the damage done to his hands and feet.
"Oh Shifty, please don't struggle! You'll miss the show!"
Shifty ceased his struggle but growled at the mad man in front of him as the Tiger stood up, the terrified racoon in hand and wandered to the shelves. And with the simple pull of a book, the wall behind the bookcase disappeared and a wall of dynamite remained. The older brother looked at the bombs in awe for a mere moment before the Tiger forced a stick of dynamite into his brother's mouth, with such force that it went straight through his cheek.
"NO!" Shifty renewed his struggles upon hearing his brothers screams and cries. "LEAVE HIM ALONE YOU SICK FREAK!"
"Oh Shifty you're hurting my feelings and here I am being so nice as to offer you a deal."
Shifty stopped and looked at his brothers tear stained face. "What kind of deal?"
"I'm going to light up both of these" The General gestured to Lifty and the wall of dynamite "And you get to decide which one I put out"
"What...?" Shifty was stunned this was a dirty trick, either way his brother was going to die but to take his life away as well?
Shifty swallowed the bile rising up his throat. "You're sick-WAIT!"
The General hummed as the lit both the wires glancing at Lifty's teary face almost lovingly before smirking at Shifty. "Tic Toc"
Shifty's eyes darted between the two sparkling wires, sweat starting to drip down his head before-
"Put out Liftys"
It was so simple when he said it. There was no other choice. He wanted to die holding his brother and comforting him for the last moments they had alive.
"Dumb choice my former associate, then again if you had been smart we would be in this situation."
The General easily extinguished the lit wire and placed Lifty down "I'd say ye boys have 3 minutes. Spend them wisely"
Lifty ran to his brother, sobbing into his fur as the General took his leave, locking the door behind him.
"S-Shifty" he cried.
The older brother hushed his little brother, telling him to free him so that he could hold his brother for the last few minutes they had alive, like Shifty did for Lifty on many occasions.
Only this time it would be the last time.

"GENERAL!" Evil roared in anger running through the blood and organs that coated the floors. "GENERAL YOU COWARD COME OUT HERE"
"My, my aren't you loud" Evil jumped to face the Tiger who stood tall, as if he thought even though he was alone and outnumbered he still had a fighting chance.
"This is going to end. Now" Evil growled, fists clenched by his sides.
"Oh of course! I need to collect my little project" The General smirked and Evil lost it lunging at the smiling man.
