"Hanzo! Damn it! We gotta-"
Genji knelt down and put a finger up.
"No. Again, you are too quick not to think clearly. And you don't trust your own eyes. You can not save Hanzo by yourself. Dare I say we won't be able to save Hanzo with just the two of us, even once you are trained."
"So.....what are we gonna do?"
"I have someone on the inside. SHE is observing, gathering information, and helping Hanzo in any way she can. Without a team, we can't sneak Hanzo out of the castle. I am putting together a team, but you I'll play a vital role in it. So, Cassidy, can I trust you?"
Cole swallowed hard. Training and conditioning sounded intense with his newfound power, but he was up to the challenge in order to save Hanzo. He would learn the ways of the werewolves. He sat up and nodded at Genji.
"Good. Once you have healed, we will begin your training."

Hanzo was once again lying on the floor of his cell. Just when he thought it couldn't get worse. The wolves of his passed had degraded and beaten him even more. Just when he thought he became numb to the pain, his mind slowly deteriorated. New wounds had taken the place of the old ones, and Hanzo wished the floor of his cell would just swallow him. Suddenly, he could hear a faint pitter patter from down the hall. Was it the rats? No. It was something bigger. This isn't the time the wolves usually come get him, and it didn't sound like their footsteps. No, this sounded much softer. Hanzo opened his eyes to see a dim light from down the hall. As the figure grew closer, the light got brighter. Slowly, the figure came into view. It was a small white fox. Hanzo stared in awe.
"Is this it? Am I dead? This fox, it must be a spirit here to guide me into the afterlife."
The fox stepped cautiously around the dungeon and closer to Hanzo's cell. It peaked through the bars and started to whisper in a high voice.

"Pssst, H-Hanzo? Is that you?"
"Yes, Spirit. Are you here to guide me?"
"Spirit? What do you mean? Hanzo, don't you remember me?" The fox whispered. Every few seconds, it looked behind itself as if it was being  watched.
"I have never seen your Spirit before."
"Shhhh, keep your voice down." The fox said worriedly. "It's me, Kiriko! Look, I don't have much time.
"Kiriko? Yes, that name sounds familiar. I believe I trained and played with Kiriko as a child." Hanzo said. His dilusions clouded his mind.
The wolf began to change. Yellow glowing dust began to accumulate, and the fox suddenly turned into a human. It was a young woman with green hair. She quickly started fiddling with the lock on the cell door, being careful not to make too much noise. The lock came off, and she slowly opened the door so it wouldn't creek and then knelt beside Hanzo on the floor. She inspected his wounds and nearly started crying.
"What did they do to you?"
Hanzo looked up, realizing that he might not have died.
"Kiriko? Is that really.....you? I.....what are you doing here?" Hanzo stared at her wide-eyed, relieved, but realized she was in danger.
"I'm glad I found you when I did." She said, reaching into a pouch on her hip.
"How did you find me?"
"Shhhh. You need your strength." She pulled out a piece of parchment. Holding it between to fingers before laying it on Hanzo's back. She then pressed her hands together and closed her eyes. The parchment began to glow, and suddenly, Hanzo's wounds were nearly gone. Only small scars were left behind. He felt a surge of uplifting energy throughout his body. He was compelled to stand on all fours. Hanzo looked up at her amazed at her power.
"K-kimiko...thankyou."
"I wish I could stay longer but I need to go back undercover. Don't lose hope Hanzo." Kimiko said leaving the cell and locking the door back up. Hanzo stared at her through the bars longingly. "We're going to get you out of here. I just hope it's sooner rather than later."
She turned into golden dust and then transformed into a slim white wolf with blue eyes. Then she lightly pounced out of the cell cautiously watching every corner as she left the dungeon.
"We?" Hanzo thought. "Are there others searching for me? "Who could it be?"
Hanzo thought long and hard, but he slowly realized something. Something that made him sink back to the floor.
"Even if I do escape this nightmare, what is the meaning behind it? Its false hope is it not? I-I have nothing. No one. The Shimada Clan will surely find me again, so why should I leave? Wouldn't it be wise to just let them kill me?.....No....they would've done that already if they wanted to. They......need something......from me, but what?"
Suddenly he could hear shouting from down the hall. Barking and what sounded like Oke and Kyo arguing with one another. The door to the dungeon opened letting in light. Hanzo heard footsteps treading down the hall once more, but their were more of them and faster. Oke appeared from around the corner.

"I'm telling you it's someone on the inside!"

Kyo followed angrily behind him.
"Just shut it! Maybe he knows something."

They were both followed by two other wolves. Kyo was back in his wolf form. Oke and him both stared down at Hanzo angrily. Hanzo couldn't help but smirk back up at them.
"Something troubling you, my dear cousin?" He asked sarcastically.
Kyo barred his teeth and growled loudly. Foam began forming around the ends of his mouth.

"You always did have the temper of a child."
"And you could never see the bigger picture Hanzo. Just like your father. Always focused on the wrong things. When you couldn't even see past the end of your own nose!" He barked and nearly bit the bars separating him and Hanzo. Hanz growled back.

"Bring him." Kyo ordered. Oke opened the cell.
"Since you're feeling a bit more jumpy maybe you can walk today instead of my wolves having to drag your pathetic ass out of there." Oke barked.
Hanzo gave him a small growl before sitting up and walking out of the cage. The two guards escorted him back down the hall into the torture dungeon. Hanzo was forced to the floor and he changed his form to human and rolled his eyes as if he was annoyed at the same process repeating itself. He let the wolves chain his arms up and let his body rise off the floor. Hanzo rolled his head back and looked around the room trying to make light of the situation.
"How come you haven't killed me yet Kyo?"

Kyo paced the room trying to think of something to say, but anger was on his mind.
"Maybe it is because you like me to much, but I doubt it." Hanzo said trying to mess with Kyo. The more he could put his dear cousin down, the more information he could gather, but he might not have needed to. There was a guard in the corner. It was a slim white wolf with blue eyes. It was staring off as if it tried not to make eye contact with Hanzo, but he could see it. It was her. Kimiko. It was a pretty convincing disguise.
"Maybe you just like taking your anger out on me." Hanzo continued. "Ah but that could never fully satisfy you."
Kyo was still pacing angrily looking back up at Hanzo from time to time.
"Let's see." Hanzo began gently tapping his shackles. "Ah you need something from me, don't you?"
Kyo stopped pacing.
Hanzo chuckled. " That's it."
"Unlike you Cousin, my duty is to the Clan and we have reason to believe that someone you know is sabotaging our base little by little."
"You serve a group of dishonorable wolves who get paid to do your bidding." Hanzo spat out.
He flipped his hair from his face and looked down at Kyo in disgust.
Kyo grew angry and wasted no time asking his question. He growled into Hanzo's face...
"WHERE is Genji Shimada?"
