The Wildcats, Kion, and Fuli charged out to meet Ashfield's pride. As they arrived, they saw Ashfield intimidating the animals, but fortunately, no one had been harmed yet. Shadow stepped forward, his voice booming with authority.

Shadow: roaring "Ashfield!"

Ashfield turned, a wicked grin spreading across his face as he saw Shadow and the Wildcats approaching.

Ashfield: "Well, well, look who it is. Just the cat I was looking for."

Shadow: "You've got two choices, Ashfield: fight us or leave and never come back."

Ashfield: smirking "Oh, I'll fight. And this time, I'll win."

Shadow: "You've left us no choice. Wildcats, attack!"

Ashfield: "Lion Pride, take them down!"

The two groups clashed in a flurry of claws and roars. Kion and Fuli fought side by side, a perfect team, taking on a lion twice their size. But when the lion knocked Fuli to the ground, Kion's anger surged. He tackled the lion, unleashing a series of powerful blows, only stopping when he realized the lion had been defeated. The lion fled, terrified.

Kion: panting "Are you okay, Fuli?"

Fuli: nodding, catching her breath "Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks, Kion."

For a brief moment, they locked eyes, their feelings for each other clear, but the battle wasn't over. They snapped back to reality and rushed to protect the others. Lance, Snowy, Cam, Patrick, Chase, Tyrone, and Leo all fought fiercely, each of them taking down their opponents with determination. Soon, only Ashfield and Stoneheart remained.

Speedy faced off against Stoneheart, who sneered arrogantly.

Stoneheart: "Seriously? A cheetah? This'll be easy."

Speedy: calmly "You talk too much."

The two clashed with surprising force, Speedy's speed and endurance proving too much for Stoneheart. The cheetah overwhelmed him, knocking him down again and again.

Speedy: "Stay down. You're done."

Stoneheart: groaning "Fine, you win. Can I go now?"

Speedy: "Leave, and never come back."

Stoneheart fled, leaving only Ashfield standing. Shadow stepped forward, facing him down.

Shadow: "You've lost, Ashfield. Your army is gone, and you're alone. Even if you beat me, there are ten others waiting to take you down. What's it going to be—fight or surrender?"

Ashfield: defiantly "I'll fight you to the death if I have to. I won't back down."

Shadow: "Then you've crossed the line. Let's finish this."

The battle between Shadow and Ashfield was intense. Shadow, though angry, maintained control, gradually overpowering Ashfield. He pummeled him into submission but stopped short of delivering a fatal blow.

Ashfield: coughing, confused "You... you could've killed me. Why didn't you?"

Shadow: "Because you're already beaten and no longer a threat. Leave and never return, Ashfield. This is your last chance."

Ashfield: grudgingly "Well played... I'll go."

Ashfield retreated with what remained of his pride. The Wildcats had won, and the Tree of Life was safe again. But their victory was bittersweet, as the Night Pride arrived, their expressions dark.
