Things seem to have gotten more and more serious as time went on between Pocahontas and John Smith. Pocahontas and Cherry returned to the village as the tension increased. Something seemed wrong as Pocahontas and Cherry ran into Nakoma.

"Cherry, Pocahontas, are you guys crazy?" Nakoma asked. "What were you doing with that-"

"Pocahontas, Cherry, there you are." Kocoum came, cutting Nakoma's question short.

"Kocoum!" the girls cried together.

Kocoum put his arm around Pocahontas. "Look at them. Now we have enough warriors to destroy those white demons."

"White demons?" Cherry asked, frightened.

"Now that we are joined by our brothers, we will defeat this enemy." Kocoum concluded, looking at the Indians ready to attack John Smith and his men.

Pocahontas looked sick to her stomach. Cherry then looked to see the chief and she went with Pocahontas to talk with him.

"Father, we need to speak with you." Pocahontas told him.

"Not now, my daughter and guest," Chief Powhatan said, walking off. "The council is gathering."

"We don't have to fight them!" Cherry spoke up. "There must be a better way!"

"Sometimes our paths are chosen for us." Chief Powhatan replied.

"But maybe we should try talking to them." Pocahontas insisted.

"They do not want to talk."

"But if one of them did want to talk, you would listen to them, wouldn't you?"

"Pocahontas-"

"Wouldn't you?"

"Of course, I would," Chief Powhatan looked at both girls, deeply. "But it's not that simple. Nothing is simple anymore." he then left the join the council as the girls grew nervous.

"What are we gonna do?" Pocahontas asked.

"We'll think of something." Cherry said to her like a supportive sister.

Later, that night, the girls knew what they had to do. It grew dangerous outside and they were told to stay in the village, but of course, they didn't. Cherry and Pocahontas went to the cornfield to meet with John Smith and tell him everything.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Cherry asked.

"I'm positive, we have to do what we can, Cherry." Pocahontas told her.

"Pocahontas! Cherry!" a voice called.

The girls turned to see Nakoma.

"Nakoma!" Pocahontas called.

"What are you doing here?" Cherry asked.

"Don't go out there," Nakoma told the girls. "I lied for you once, don't ask me to do it again."

"I have to do this!" Pocahontas urged.

"He's one of them!"

"You don't understand, Nakoma, you don't even know him!" Cherry said.

"If you go out there, you'll be turning back on your own people." Nakoma stood in front of them to stop them.

"You guys accepted me and I'm not one of you." Cherry brought up.

"That's different." Nakoma stated.

"I'm trying to help my people." Pocahontas said.

"Pocahontas, please," Nakoma begged her to reconsider. "You're my best friend. I don't want you or Cherry to get hurt."

"We won't." Cherry said.

"We know what we're doing." Pocahontas said. And with that, the girls ran off.

"Goodbye, Nakoma!" Cherry called as she ran with Pocahontas.

"Pocahontas, Cherry, no!" Nakoma called, but they wouldn't listen.

Kocoum was making his own weapon ready to battle. Nakoma walked toward him and called his name for attention. Kocoum turned to her, wondering what the problem was.

"What is it?" Kocoum could tell something was wrong.

"It's Pocahontas and Cherry." Nakoma told him.

"What's wrong?" Kocoum asked, showing emotion. "Are they okay?"

Nakoma didn't want to lie, she didn't want to tell the truth either. She was lost for words, but finally, something clicked in her brain. "I think they're in trouble." she finally answered his question.

Cherry and Pocahontas kept running. It even seemed as though Meeko and Flit were following them. Grandmother Willow looked uneasy.

"The Earth is trembling, children," Grandmother Willow said to the girls. "What's happened?"

"The warriors are here." Pocahontas replied.

"Pocahontas! Cherry!" John cried, Cherry and Pocahontas knew his voice anywhere.

"John." Pocahontas looked relieved to see him.

"Listen to me," John took her hands. "My men are planning to attack your people. We've got to warn them."

"Maybe it's not too late to stop this," Pocahontas said. "You have to come with me and Cherry and talk to my father."

"Pocahontas, talking isn't gonna do us any good." John insisted. "I already tried talking to my men, but everything about this land has them spooked."

"Spooked?" Cherry asked. "How so?"

There was howling in the distance. Everyone turned to see a strange creature with a log like body, twigs sticking out from the holes, and white dog feet.

"That's the strangest creature I've ever seen." Grandmother Willow declared.

The log got stuck, rolled and there came out a posh white Pug dog with a fancy blue collar.

"Percy!" John called happily.

"Hi there, little guy." Cherry petted the dog, but he growled at the raccoon with him.

Percy growled at Meeko and they had a cat dog like chase.

"Easy, Percy, come here!" John called to the dog.

"Meeko, come back!" Pocahontas demanded.

"You see what I mean?" John asked the girls as the raccoon and dog chased each other. "Once two sides want to fight, nothing can stop them."

Meeko growled at Percy. He then grabbed Flit and used him like a sword to fence against the pampered pooch. Flit squeaked in irritation as he was used as a weapon. Cherry couldn't help but giggle at their childish fight.

"BAD!" Grandmother Willow scolded, making Percy and Meeko stop fighting. "Bad dog, SIT!"

Percy sat respectfully and whimpered with fear.

"It's enough to make your sap boil." Grandmother Willow growled. "Just wait til you reach my age, Cherry, then you'll know what stress is. Now, there's something I want to show you. Look." Grandmother Willow put a twig in and stirred the water, making John, Pocahontas and Cherry look together. "The ripples."

"What about them?" John asked.

"So small at first, then look how they grow," Grandmother Willow explained. "But someone has to start them."

"They're not gonna listen to us." John told her.

"Young man, sometimes the right path is not the easy one."

Grandmother Willow got Meeko to push down a branch to make John slide towards Pocahontas.

"Don't you see?" the willow tree smiled. "Only when the fighting stops, you can be together."

Pocahontas and John shared confident smiles.

"Alright," John spoke after stunned silence. "Let's go talk to your father."

Cherry smiled at Pocahontas and John. She looked around to see the various forest animals smiling too. Her smile disappeared once she saw Kocoum in the bushes. Cherry gasped with fear as Kocoum emerged from the bushes with a sharp rock to use for stabbing to death. Kocoum rushed to protect the girls and stab John in the throat.

"Kocoum, no!" Pocahontas and Cherry cried.

The battle grew intense. The girls tried to stop Kocoum, but he pushed them aside and kept trying to murder John once and for all. John tried to save his own life as Pocahontas and Cherry wanted this to stop, but they couldn't. There was then a gunshot heard! Kocoum got hit, he grabbed onto Pocahontas's necklace and fell into the water, shot dead. Cherry cupped her mouth and looked downright horrified to witness a death like this.

"Thomas!" John called to the man in the bushes.

"Is he-" the man known as Thomas seemed equally horrified of what he had done.

"You killed him!" Pocahontas growled.

"I thought that-"

"Get away from him!"

"Pocahontas, it won't help!" John held the Indian girl back. "He was only-"

"He killed him!" Pocahontas continued.

"Thomas, get out of here!" John barked at Thomas. "Get out of here!"

Thomas gulped hard, then ran off back to his camp with the other men. That seemed like the biggest horrific time, but much worse was along the way. Cherry didn't speak once they went back to the village. She was in complete shock of what she endured with Thomas against Kocoum.
