The Black Rabbit smirked, standing still beside Shark Heart, "I can't promise their safety... But you can, with some assistance" suggested the Black Rabbit, standing aside to show Shark Heart something... Something he had missed but not forgotten.
"Let's restore peace, once more" snarled Shark Heart with an evil grin upon his face...
Shark Heart opened his blue eyes and looked around. He was still on the battlefield, Shark Heart struggled to his paws and happened to look down. He noticed Woundwort's body as it lay dead on the marshy ground. After a moment of silence, everyone started to cheer and celebrate the fact they had won. Silver Chase hopped onto a big rock,
"Victory!" She yelled cheers by everyone could be heard from ten farms away.
On the way back Shark Heart was joined by Bigwig,
"Hi. Ehhh, that was some fast thinking out there" complemented Bigwig, stuttering a little in his voice.
Shark Heart knew what he was trying to say, "thank you, Bigwig, you don't need to say it, your totally welcome," said Shark Heart with a bit of sadness in his voice that Bigwig did not pick up on.
A rust coloured Rabbit came out of nowhere and rugby tackled Shark Heart to the ground,
"You think you can take my place?" It screeched as it pined him to the ground,
"Sherwood?" Muttered Shark Heart.
"Yes, and you will die!" He roared but just before Sherwood could kill Shark Heart, a white blur whizzed passed Shark Heart and threw Sherwood off of Shark Heart's chest,
"Aries?!..." Muttered Shark Heart, stunned.
Aries laughed, "of course it's me... The Black Rabbit did say you needed assistance, who am I to refuse?" Aries turned his attention off of his best friend and turned his full attention to Sherwood,
"I asked Shark Heart after the warren collapsed were Winter was. He was quite right that she held the warren up long enough to get everyone out... Here's the thing that puzzles me the most. I know that Winter would have had at least five minutes to get out herself after she got everyone else out. What happened to her?... Hmm... I think a certain someone might have killed her!" Snarled Aries.
Sherwood smirked with a snarky attitude, "well maybe I did, what you going to do about it, Captain?!" Taunted Sherwood.
Aries nodded (up and down), "your right, I won't do anything, it's not my job" muttered Aries backing off a little.
Sherwood laughed some more, "I knew you were weak" Aries bowed his head down a little to Sherwood,
"They will seal your fate" whispered Aries as his fellow rabbits closed in on Sherwood.
The rust coloured rabbit squirmed and screamed, "no, no, nooooooo!" Yelled Sherwood as he was overrun by rabbits and killed.
Oak Hide and Silver Chase ran to Aries and hugged him, "we missed you so much" sobbed Silver Chase as she and Oak Hide let go of their brother,
"I have missed you all too" added Aries.
The white rabbit turned to Hazel who sat with a vague grin on his face, "I think it's time to go our separate ways" suggested Aries, gathering his rabbits up.
Aries approached Hazel, "I can't thank you enough" Chirped Aries gratefully.
Hazel gave Aries a smile, "your welcome" the white rabbit bowed his head to his new allies,
"Goodbye, my dearest friends" waved Aries as he took his lot away.
Ren hopped along beside Aries, "What's going to happen to the other rabbits we fought?... You know, the ones that survived. What will happen to Woundwort's rabbits?" Asked Ren.
Aries shrugged, "I don't know, I am sure they will find a good place to go" reassured Aries.
Bolt let out a little chuckle, "let's go find us a home, one to stay in this time" suggested Bolt, Aries chuckled out loud,
"That would be a good idea".
