Chapter 5: Ezo's Path
Deep in the jungle, I, Ezo Red Fox, was seated next to my unconscious friend, Silver Fox, while holding holding a sleeping black husky pup, that has a couple of white markings on its front paws and on its chest, by my side is my trustworthy portable "game", that was gifted to me by the professor and her assistant, from when they found it by accident at the library.
I held the pup tightly while my brain just keeps hitting me with of "what ifs" that could happen as soon as Silver wakes up and realizes that Balto turned back into its animal form. I shaked my head to clean it of these dark thoughts, kept my "game" at Silver's hands and told her while getting up.
"Please keep occupied with this while I'm gone."
While I was walking through the Jungle, thinking up ideas on how to turn Balto back into its friend form, I looked up to the sky and remembered sandstar, of course, if any animal touches it then they turn into Friends.
I rushed to the volcano, while grabbing a net along the way. Arriving there, I held Balto with one hand while I used the net to try to grab some sandstar.
"Hey!" I heard someone shout, startling me and making me drop the net into the sandstar, turning it into a cerulean. Surprised, I stumbled and fell into the ground while trying to get away from the newly formed cerulean, then Lion appeared out of nowhere and clawed the cerulean, making it explode into sandstar.
"Are you crazy!? Objects that touch Sandstar transforms into Ceruleans, you know!?" she roared at me, really pissed, that's when I noticed her sleeve flapping in the air, where her right arm would be.
"What happened...?" I asked while pointing to her missing arm.
She turned cold, really showing her sadness.
"I lost it while fighting those Ceruleans at the beach." while massaging where her right arm would come out of.
"I'm sorry" I said as I couldn't find words to comfort her.
She sat on the ground almost bursting in tears.
"And because of this, Moose turned cold to me. And called me weak. And-" she just bawled in tears, I could really feel her frustration and sadness, so without a second though I grabbed her hand and told her.
"C'mon, let's beat her up and make her take back those words." while dragging her, that tried her best to stop me, but to avail.
Arriving at the plains, there was Moose talking with her underlings, I gave Balto to Lion, then approached Moose and slapped her as hard as I could, making her head turn to the side and her cheek turn a little red, I told her without giving her a second to recompose.
"How could you tell her that!?" I said while pointing to Lion, that was just looking at the scene with her jaw dropped. "How could you call someone that fought with all her might to protect everybody-" I could feel my tears starting to fall as I kept hitting her chest with weak punches while telling her "-to protect the one most important to me, the one that I would even hide deep inside my heart, my true feeling for her, just so that I could see her happy, just for-" I just kept crying on Moose's chest, after finally pouring my most hidden secret. Moose pat my head, as if comforting me, it really helped me calm down a little.
After that, she finally told me "I just don't want to loose her." she said while looking at Lion. "When she lost her arm, I feared for the worst, that I would loose her forever. And when I called her weak, I was actually just calling myself weak out of frustration."
She gave me a tight hug, then approached Lion, cleared her troat and told her while getting on her knees. "The professor told me about this" while scratching her cheekl. "would you be my mate?" and then she kissed Lion's hand.
Lion was still processing what happened, when she realized what this was she blushed a bright red and played with her hair while answering Moose a faint "Yes."
