The next day, Kane returns to the BlazingWood pack, eager to start freeing the rest of his people from the slave camp.
He uses his abilities to choose which of the wolves from the BlazingWood pack would accompany Kaitou to the slave camp.
He chooses Flower, Argon, Matt, Kala, Lunar, Mira and Terro. He doesn't know any of the others in the pack well enough to want to allow them near his packmates, especially while injured and starving.
"Micaiha will be at the entrance of the den on standby. She'll tell you where to take the freed prisoners so that she can tend to them."
Kane explains to the group before Kaitou shifts into the same wolf he used to alert the pack to Cobers' attack, before they all head out.
Micaiha transports majority of the group near the base and Lunar uses his familys' essences to transport himself to their sides.
Micaiha and Kane head back to their den and the others head towards the slave camp.
The guards at the camp don't spare the group a second glance as they approach.
Matt uses his powers to grow some sleeping flowers to put the guards to sleep. They want to do this with the least amount of bloodshed possible.
Once the guards are asleep, the group heads towards the slave dorms. Kaitou is on edge the entire way there, ears tuned to the sounds around them.
When they arrive at the dorms, Kaitou shifts back to his natural form, and opens the doors to the dorms and the group immediately begins getting the shock collars off the slaves.
One of the younger wolves looks at Kaitou and then the others, and asks,
"Are you here to free us?"
Krypton, who is closest to the young wolf lowers himself to the pups' level and gently says,
"Yes, we are. And none of you are ever coming back here again. None of you will even face persecution or hatred again.
Kane will explain everything once you're all recovered. Now, can I take this collar off you?"
The pup agrees, and upon hearing Kryptons' words, the other pups allow the rest of the group to take the collars off and help them to their feet, supporting them as they travel to the entrance.
The group guides the pups to the entrance of the camp and allow them a few moments to soak up the sun, for the first time in their lives, for some of them.
Kane is ready and waiting for them, and immediately starts transporting the pups to the base with the help of Micaiha and Lunar.
As soon as the final rescued slave is in the Followers of Kumikos' base, the group heads back to the camp, tired but very happy.
When they arrive, the rest of the pack, including the pups are waiting for them.
"All the remaining Followers of Kumiko are rescued and are with the rest of their pack.
Kane will demolish the building once the guards have been removed from the area."
A cheer raises from the assembled wolves. The group head to their respective dens to get some much needed sleep before Rose is killed for her crimes.
The next day, Rose is dragged before Krypton, Mira, Terro, Flora, Matt, Kala, Lunar, Kaitou and Ruuza.
She spits at their feet, glaring at them. Krypton glares at her before saying,
"Rose, you have been brought here to answer for your crimes, one of which being the murder of Fire, Leaf and Nalyda.
For your punishment, I sentence you to be ripped apart by Matt and Kala. I hope you enjoy your eternal punishment."
Krypton snarls before most of the assembled wolves leave, allowing Matt and Kala some time alone to rip Rose apart.
Lunar, Kaitou and Ruuza head to the territorial border, intending to get some berries for their gramma, but then, they see Chaos and Landon.
As soon as Landon sees the siblings, a question forms in his eyes. Lunar answers it before Landon can even ask.
"Your sister is safe Landon. She left a while back. If you run now, in the direction of the Cosmic Mountain pack, you might catch up to her eventually."
Landon turns and sprints away before Chaos can say anything. Once he's out of sight, the siblings focus their full attention on Chaos.
Lunar draws himself up to his full height, snarling viciously at the wolf who murdered their birth parents, who made Kaitous' life hell for so many years.
"You have some nerve showing your face here Chaos. It's like you want us to kill you."
Kaitou says sassily, showing his true personality. Chaos looks back and forth between the siblings, clearing determining if it is worth fighting them.
"I am here for Ruuza. The Boss will be very happy when I deliver her to him, alive and healthy."
Ruuza snarls, her eyes deepening from blue to violet, a sign that she's getting ready to use her powers.
"I won't be going anywhere with you. And the only place you will be going is hell."
Ruuza snaps, her eyes slowly changing to red, matching her older brother.
Chaos growls and goes to attack Ruuza, but is quickly shoved to the side by Lunar, and is then pinned down by Kaitou.
He struggles against Kaitous' hold, but when Kaitou tightens his grip further, Chaos has enough sense to stop struggling.
"You will die here today Chaos. You have killed your last victim and kidnapped your last wolf. You will die and then suffer for the rest of time."
Ruuza says with the same strange echo that her voice had when her powers awakened.
She steps back and allows her brothers to have some 'fun' with Chaos before she kills him.
Kaitou and Lunar spend a fair while tearing into Chaos, getting a small amount of payback for the pain and suffering he's put them through over the last eleven years.
Once her brothers are satisfied with the amount of damage and pain they have caused, they step back.
Ruuza summons a ball of blue energy and incinerates Chaos. The brothers watch, satisfaction flowing through their veins as they watch Chaos disappear just like Cober did just over a year ago.
Once Chaos is well and truly dead, the siblings grab some berries for Flora and then head back inside.
They tell their family what happened, and everyone breathes a collective sigh of relief. Chaos was the only wolf who could have still threatened their family.
The Boss and Acilla wouldn't have tried anything like that, not after the Meeting.
So, now that Chaos is dead, Rose is dead and the remaining Followers of Kumiko are free, their family is safe for the first time since it became known that Ruuza was born.
The siblings are content and happy with their family, and hope that they are able to live long and happy lives together.
