Secret Stairway
[Skipper's POV]
We ventured down the stairs as Rico kept one of the torches in the hidden chamber and lit it to provide some light.
The old squirrel was holding the book of the Crystal Falcon as she escorted us to who knows where.
"Screaming banshee,where are you taking us?" I asked. We made it to a brightened hall way to see tons of weird hieroglyphic-esque symbols on the walls.
The elderly squirrel then took a breath and translated," The foxes were our greatest foes alongside the rats, They were attempting to take the feather for their ill gotten gain...until me and the golden squirrel put an end to their plans."
"What is this implying?" Marlene questioned.
"The Hunter in your earlier encounter... He comes from a long family of relic hunters. Let me tell you how it all began." She said.
116 years ago...
On a skyscraper in Times Square...
A female fox with a scar on her left cheek with blue eyes went to confront the Golden Squirrel and the Crystal Falcon about the feather.
"Miss Hunt,"The Golden Squirrel called with disdain in his voice.
"Golden Squirrel,Crystal Falcon, why don't we have a talk like proper adults." She suggested.
"We've been over this Haley, You and your family aren't getting the feather and don't think of trying anything stupid," The Crystal Falcon threatened," I am very skilled in hand to hand combat... Or wing to wing...or wing to paw. But still you aren't getting it. End of story."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Haley muttered under her breath with a scheming look on her face.
Central Park,Nightime
Hunt Family's tree
Haley decided to hold a meeting with her family on how to get the feather and eliminate both it's holders.
"Wife may I suggest...Forming an alliance with the rats?" Her husband Vince Hunt asked. Both Haley and Vince were leaders of the Hunt family, a family of relic hunters and willing to sell anything they find to the highest bidder and sometimes for their personal gain.
"Allying with those filthy sewer punks? No way! " An adolescent male fox retorted with disgust.
"Kurt,we've been over this. We have no choice." Vince protested to his older son. "Well I've heard rumours that the Golden Squirrel has a hidden treasure somewhere in the city. After all, we're in America. The Land Of Opportunity." Haley and Vince's younger daughter Eunice said.
"Very good idea." Vince responded to his younger fox cub and the entire family agreed.

"And why should we help you?" The previous Rat King questioned.
"Because in return,we will tell you the location of The Key to the Treasure of The Golden Squirrel." Vince promised in a deceiving manner unbeknownst to the Rats.
"Well what are we waiting for? " The Rat King said shaking his hand to Haley's paw.
Back to the present...
[Maurice's POV]
"So the foxes allied with the rats in order to get the treasure?" Julien asked.
"Then what happened afterwards? " I questioned.
"The family failed to get a hold of the feather and once the Rats didn't find the treasure...They wiped them all out." The old squirrel answered.
"If all of the foxes were wiped out, then how was the current descendant born? " Kowalski asked.
"The rest of the family were in Iceland where the descendants were with their aunt and uncle who were entrusted with them by Haley and Vince in case of something happened to them." The old Squirrel answered.
"Where are the other descendants?" Skipper questioned intrigued.
"That I don't know, but the son is currently hunting for the feather. " She responded.
"His name is Sven." I added.
"Well let's move before we-" Skipper said before he got cut off by an explosion which knocked us all to the ground.
As the dust cleared, we saw Sven with other five foxes which were the other descendants. Sven had a smug look on his face as he aimed a laser gun at us.
"I'm guessing negotiation is out of the picture." Skipper said.
