Dominic: *gasps* WHAT?

Lucy: What did you do to George and Luna...

Charles: I wounded them. I figured I'd just kill them after I'm done with you. Let them suffer for a bit.

Oscar: *growls*

Charles: *looks at oscar* Don't worry, I'll kill you.

Dominic: *gets his sword out* Charles. For the last time, stand down.

Charles: *has his sword out* NEVER!

Dominic: *slashes at Charles with his sword*

Charles: *slashes back, and the two swords clang*

Oscar: *bites Charles in the leg*

Charles: *kicks oscar*

Dominic: *seeks this as an advantage and trips charles*

Charles: *falls on the ground*

Dominic: *points his sword at charles* Drop your sword.

Charles: *drops his sword*

Dominic: Now stand up.

Charles: *stands up, and pulls out his musket* You fool... Bringing a sword to a GUN FIGHT! *fires*

Dominic: *barley blocks the bullet with his sword, and pulls out his own gun, and fires*

Charles: *pulls out his own shield*

Dominic: *has his own shield, and fires more bullets*

Charles: *fires back*

The two engage in gunfire

Oscar: *bites Charles again*

Charles: *drops his gun* Ahh! *kicks oscar*

Oscar: *at the edge of the hill and is struggling to climb up*

Lucy: *rushes over to Oscar to push them back up* Stay low...

Dominic: *shoots charles*

Charles: *deflects the bullet with his shield*

Dominic: *hit in the shoulder* OW! * 

Charles: *gets his sword back and slices at dominic*

Dominic: *barley blocks it with his shield, and with all strength left in him, he pushes forward at Charles, to knock him down and disarm him*

Charles: *knocked down and his sword falls off the mountain* NOOO!!! MY SWORD! GRRR!!! *gets his gun*

Dominic: *grabs the end of the gun, trying to make him fire elsewhere*

Charles: *fires, but his first bullet misses, but it hits a random bird in the sky*

Dominic: *tries to grab the gun completely, but ends up pulling the gun near his side*

Charles: *fires and hits Dominic in the hip*

Dominic: OW...

Charles: Now... before I kill you... Where are your valuables... Your lead. Anything you've gathered.

Dominic: *tosses out a few* You can have it, their in the cart, but it won't change anything. People aren't going to beilive you. It won't be a coincidence to them that you were the only one to get out. 

Charles: Shut up. *reloads his gun, and is about to fire again*

Oscar: *jumps at Charles and knocks him over*

Charles: *his gun goes over the mountain too* GRAH. *picks up Dominic's sword* Want to die, little wolfy? *swings his sword at him as a gesture*

Oscar: *whimpering*

Charles: Oh you know this? You see it boy? Good... good... *attempts to attack him*

Oscar: *bites the sword while it's flying at him*

Charles: WHAT? 

Oscar: *growling viciously*

Charles: *grunting*

Oscar: *rips the sword off Charles' hand, and throws it aside, then rams into charles*

Charles: *knocked over, but gets up* FINE. ILL KILL YOU WITH MY BEAR HANDS AND FEET! 

A gunshot is heard...

Lucy: *holding the pistol Charles dropped earlier, and pointing at the air* Enough... I'd kill you if I was an officer... But I'm nothing like you. *fires all the bullets in the air, and throws the gun off the mountain*

Charles: You silly little girl... You could've used that... and saved many lives! But nope, your own mercy killed you and everyone... *clutches his face and laughs* mhmhmhmhmhmhm... ahahahahahaha! AHHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! *rushes at Lucy at full speed, ready to grab her*

Lucy: *dodges to the left*

Charles: *grabbing her fails* NOOO!!! *falls off the mountain at a great height* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo... *hits the ground, and dies from the impact, and then an avalanche covers him*

Lucy: Avalanche... Dominic!

Dominic: Ngh... *really injured* I'll probably be fine... 

Lucy: We can't really ski down...

Dominic: Heck it, it's worth a try...

After climbing down the mountain, their back at the bottom.

Dominic: Gngh... George, Luna, are you two alright?

George: Yea... I'll be fine...

Dominic: I got shot...

Luna: You ok?

Dominic: I'll be fine... 

Oscar: *licks dominic*

Dominic: Oscar... you've shown great leadership... You may not replace Oliver, but you are absolutely incredible. He would be proud of you.

Oscar: *howls*

The rest of the wolves howl...

Dominic: Oscar... I'm giving you a choice. Either come home with me... Or lead this pack of wolves... I'll support you either way.

Oscar: *looks at the two back and forth, is struggling*

Lucy: Oscar... It's alright.

Oscar: *looks at Dominic and whines*

Dominic: *pats Oscar on the head* You will lead these wolves well. I know it. 

Oscar: *nuzzles against Dominic, and runs to the wolves, as the new alpha*

All the wolves howl, and run into the forest.

Lucy: Bye! Bye! *waving*

Dominic: I never knew wolves could be so great. They work together, and work as a pack. And that's how we worked. As a pack, like wolves. We worked as a team!

George: Know what, this expedition is over. We're going home, as a team.

Luna: I still got some resources, so it won't all be in vain!

Dominic: Let's go home... It will be a long journey, but after all we've been through? It's worth it.
