A/N: One more chapter till the end. Hope you're enjoying the story.

~"Soldiers everywhere! How will we get in?"~ Rocket said looking at us.

~"Must get in somehow...Must get in!"~ Maurice said. I nodded in agreement. I needed in to protect Caesar. 

"In? In?" Bad ape asked. Maurice nodded. "No! No go in! No!" he said backing away before he fell through the ground.

"Looks like we found away in. Good job Bad ape," I said.

"Friends! Friends! No! No go in! No go in! Friend! Friend! Thank you." ROcket pulled him from the hole as he continued to tell us not to go in. "Thank you, friend. You save our lives!"

~"Sick humans must have escaped down here!"~ Maurice signed as we explored the tunnel we had accidentally stumbled upon. At the end of the tunnel, we found a ladder and Maurice gestured for one of us to climb.

"No, no! No, no climb!" I climbed the ladder to see where it led. It was a locked trap door. I came back door and followed the others through the tunnel.  "No! What? What you see?" Bad ape asked. 'APE-APOCALYPSE NOW' was painted on the wall. Bad ape and the girl and gone back up to watch what was going on.

~ "Wonder where we are,"~ Rocket signed. He climbed onto Maurice's back and started digging.

Bad ape's POV

 The girl and I were watching the humans as it was getting dark. She started to walk out towards the gate of the human zoo. "No! Friend...No!" I called to her. She turned to face me for a few moments before turning back around. "No! No!No! Come, come!Come!Come, come.No! Come! Come! Come, come!" She completely ignored me and kept walking into the zoo. I ran for the others. They would know what to do.

Caesar's POV

I was still tied out and a bucket of water had been dumped on me earlier that day so I was freezing. I thought I saw Koba as I opened my eyes. "Koba."

"Sleep. You cannot save them. Apes all die here," he said touching my face.

"No!" I replied.

"Yes. Join me..." he said before the image cleared and Red was standing in front of me and he cut me down. 

"If he's still alive in the morning...He goes back to work as everyone else. Or you shoot him," I heard the COlonel say before I was dragged off into a cage by myself.

Gabrielle's POV

Bad ape dragged us out of the tunnel, "Come. Come. Come. She go in!"

"Shit," I said taking on my ape form and sneaking in, the others following me. I watched as the girl easily found Caesar and dropped her doll on him. He looked up at her and she signed something to which he nodded. She came back with a bucket of water. As he drank she stroked the hair on his head. When he was done the apes across the way called to her and she went over to them. I kept watch as they handed her some oats and she took them to Caesar.

Caesar took them from her as I heard humans getting closer. The other apes started to sign ~"Strong together"~ and the little girl looked at them and repeated the gesture. Just then she and Caesar could hear the humans too.

"Hide. Quick," Caesar told her. She hid behind his cage and Caesar gestured for her to get further back.

~"Humans will kill her!"~ Maurice signed. 

"I know what to do! Go!" I said walking out making as much noise as possible. I kept my arms up showing I didn't want to fight. The gorilla that had been captured back in the forest was the one to walk towards me after several guns were pointed at me. I wanted to transform and kill these guy but that would ruin the escape plans. I let the gorilla slam me into the ground and pound on me.
