"Wait I see something." Alexis says as the group stops close to the iron road in the rain before seeing it is Bigwig.
"Bigwig! Hazel it's Bigwig and he's with the others!" Fiver shouts happily.
"Hazel!" Clover shouts happily as she runs over to Hazel nuzzling him.
"Oh Clover! Is it really you?" Hazel asks happily.
"I'm not going to let you out of my sight from now on." Clover says as the group heads over to Bigwig.
"These Efrafans are fast, big and they know how to cover ground. If they catch up with us..." Bigwig then stops talking as the group see the Efrafans now have them cornered under the iron road on both sides before a large rabbit steps forward.
"So we finally meet Thlayli. They told me you weren't a fighter but I know a fighter when I see one. I'm going to take great pleasure in killing you." The chief rabbit says as he goes over to Bigwig as he then goes to attack Bigwig before being knocked away from him by something in the skies as the group then sees Kehaar before he then begins attacking and scaring the Efrafans.
"The scoundrel came back!" Bigwig says seeing this.
"Nice timing Kehaar." Alexis says.
"Kehaar! Quick everyone! Follow me! We need to lose them before we head for home! Otherwise they'll follow us to the Down." Hazel says as everyone follows him using the confusion from Kehaar scaring the Efrafans to get away.
"So what do we do?" Fiver asks.
"We'll head over the river towards the humans. They might not follow us there." Hazel says.
"The human warren? You're kidding right?" Alexis asks.
"He must be joking." Bluebell says.
"Hazel that place is a death trap!" Dandelion says.
"Kehaar won't hold them off forever." Fiver says.
"Head for the bridge!" Hazel says as the group begins to head for the bridge.
*Timeskip*
"I'm off now Hazel. Like I said birds need to find mothers too. You'll find your way back to the Down fine. Aye! Maybe the next time I see you I'll see little Hazels too." Kehaar says a he gestures to Clover.
"Thank you Kehaar. Without you we would've stopped running a long time ago." Hazel says kindly.
"I'll be back. When the cold winds return." Kehaar says.
"Abandoning us again are you?" Bigwig asks as Kehaar looks at him.
"Well your going to have to find a way to exist without me for a while plump rabbit." Kehaar says.
"For the last time my name is Bigwig!" Bigwig says angrily.
"I know it's Bigwig. But what's life if you can't tease your pal a little eh?" Kehaar says as he flies.
"My name is Hazel. And I am chief rabbit of your new home. I know that it will take time for me to earn your trust... and hopefully your friendship. But it is a privilege for me to do so... and to serve each and every one of you both old and new. You have fought so hard to earn your freedom. But now you must fight to keep it. Because the battle for liberty is one which has no end... and if we fall fighting, if we stop running... then at least we knew what it was like to run. I stand here not asking you to follow me... but to follow each other. Let's help raise each other to our strongest selves. Let's go home." Hazel says as the group then head home.
*Timeskip*
"Huh! Behold!" Bigwig says seeing Strawberry and the others come running over as the group reunites with each other once arriving at the down.
"Welcome to you all. Welcome home." Hazel says happily.
