Dart ran into the caves with half the town behind him, and came to Party and Gyxond standing across from eachother in the cavern. Gyxonds wolfcats all ran into the cavern as well, the two sides now standing off. The sides began to battle on the sides of the cavern, Party and Gyxond in the middle. During the fight, Dart and Hyoundellar, the second in command to Gyxond, met while trying to escape the battle. They realized they were only fighting on behalf of lies and leaders, and they assigned a truce with them, then parted ways again. The fight continued, but everyone stopped when Gyxond pinned Party, paw raised and claws unsheathed. It was a blow that would kill, but Gyxond stopped when she saw Hyoundellar. She had a horrified look on her face, and Gyxond hesitated. She began to draw her paw back, but Dart had not seen her beginning to stop, still believing she was going to kill Party. He ran and tackled her off, pinning Gyxond instead. Hyoundellar ran to help, but rocks falling caught one of her tails, and she began trying to rip off her own tail, believing Dart was going to kill Gyxond. Dart ripped the gem from Gyxonds chest, flinging it across the cave floor. Hyoundellar then succeeded in ripping her tail out from the rock, and ran and shoved Dart off Gyxond. Dart limps to the side, and runs away from the others. Taffy sees him, and attacks. Dart tries to say sorry, and explain, but Taffy won't stop. Back at the town, Ancient realizes his brother is not there, and must be at the battle. He runs there, and finds Taffy trying to kill Dart. Ancient tries to stop them, and manages to get Taffy to stop for a moment. Hyoundellar sees this, but only runs up to Dart, and yells at him for attacking Gyxond, and saying they had a truce. Dart yells to her that there was a truce between them, not any wolfcat else, and he tries to attack her. Hyoundellar jumps out of the way, and Dart ends up jumping right at Taffy, slicing his throat. He hits the ground, and every wolfcat stops.
