As the sun started setting in the west, a few birds whistled in harmony about the beautiful sun drifting away. The Savannah Survivors settled in their den while Dexter came down from flying, panting heavily. "Phew.." He wheezed from being winded out by their last adventure. Hunter padded up to Dexter, patting his head and looking down at him. "So, how was the adventure?" Hunter smirked as Dexter smacked his paw off of his cheek. "It was fine, Tigers are tougher than I thought." The dog panted and laid down, his wings vanishing as he settled down with a cool breeze between his ears. "Alright, everyone, go rest up for tomorrow. Luna and Mema are on patrol until sunrise." Goldie announced and padded in the den. Mema nodded and ran to Luna, having enough energy to pull this off. The Cat-Dragon stretched her wings and dove off the cliff's tip and flew into the sky as quick as lightning. The breeze blew through Mema's fur, she purred in delight of the nightly sky and winds. A ghostly howl was heard on the ground and Luna stopped flying in her tracks. Mema looked down and saw a dark gray and green wolf, stomping through the tough wind and growling at it. Luna purred nervously and stared at her rider. "I know girl, I know." As soon as the wolf turned his head to look at them, quickly Luna scrambled to fly away. When they landed on the cliff, Mema panted hard with the wolf's terrifying stare in her memories. Luna cuddled Mema to help each other sleep in peace. The sun shone as Goldie woke up early and spotted a wolf, not too far from base. She stalked silently, crouching to make sure he doesn't see her. The wolf sniffed the air and instantly got tackled. The gray wolf bit Goldie's left arm and she pinned him down and slashed his cheek. Goldie bit the wolf's neck and got smacked hard on the top of her head. She panted hard, staring deep into the wolf's eyes and saw that he was just defending himself. The wolf pulled in his claws and kicked her off. "Who are you, an outsider?" The Golden Retriever growled, threatening him that she could still fight. "My name is Toxic! Who are YOU!?" Toxic pulled out his claws and stared at her with a face of bravery. "I'm Goldie, leader of the Savannah Survivors to protect the World." Toxic laughed hard and growled again. "You think a Golden Retriever can protect the forest. Pfft, That's a good one." Dexter dove down in front of Toxic. "She's not the only one protecting these woods!" Dexter growled at the wolf, exposing his teeth and his wings spread out as the others came. Hunter grabbed Dexter by the scruff and held him still. "Woah there, Tiger." He chuckled to be sarcastic to make him mad. Toxic looked over at the Cat-Dragon and lioness and smiled, showing his sharp teeth. "I've seen you before, last night, correct?" Mema got nervous, looking at his sharp fangs and long claws. Luna jumped in front of Mema, growling, ready to launch her plasma fire on him. "Heh, cute." He bluffed, padding away. Goldie and Dexter jumped in front of him, making sure he doesn't leave. "What do you guys want?!" He growled with his ears down and his pupils narrow. "We must need proof that you don't work for Amir and his Clan before we let you leave." Dexter explained with a slight aggressive tone. Toxic exhaled sharply through his nose and stared down at the little dog padding and ran away with a smile. "Don't let him get to Amir!" Goldie commanded and she tapped the button on her watch to activate Zeus to catch up with them. The three of them ran after Toxic but he jumped through the trees and did zig-zag runs to try to lose them. Dexter got dizzy and nearly crashed until Mema and Luna caught him. "Guys, I think he isn't truly with Amir's Clan." Mema said with her paws on Dexter to keep him from falling. "She's right! If I know Amir, he wouldn't let wolves in his Clan anyway." Dexter agreed and flapped his wings again to gain flight. "Plus, he's not going to Amir's Territory." The wolf stopped in his tracks. "Finally, you get it. Will you stop following me now?" He barked with relief and kind of having an annoyed tone. "Yes, you've proven yourself, T-" Goldie was interrupted with a crazy laughter nearby as it ran toward Toxic and tackled him. A wolf with black and rainbow fur laughed like a psychopathic monster. "What's with everybody tackling me!?" He growled and kicked the wolf off. "Heheheh! Sorry, heheh.. it's just I've been looking for you in years!" The wolf twitched a lot and scratched his ear. He dragged Toxic by his tail and Luna held the crazy wolf down. "Who are you, you psycho?!" He growled at the crazed wolf. He laughed a ton and kicked Luna in the jaw. "Name's Rainbow!" His head went upside down and chuckled so much, a black liquid fell out of his mouth slowly. Mema pulled out her bow and set the bow tip on fire. She shot it near his paws and ran off with his head upside down still. "That wolf needs to calm down." Goldie said with a confused tilt. "Well, I better go." The wolf said to the others and slowly padded off. "Wait!" Mema shouted. Toxic turned down to face the lioness with his ears perked up. "Why don't you join us? We can work together." She offered, reaching out her paw with a smile. "Nah, I better not. I like being alone." He smiled at her and ran off to his territory. They found a good resting soft under the tree and set up a camp for the night and being far from their home. "Will the boys be ok being alone this night?" Mema raised an eyebrow at Goldie and laying down next to Luna. "That's why I'm giving this pigeon a note, so they know where we are." Goldie replied and carefully puts the note around the bird's neck and points to the direction their base is at and it flew there. Everyone laid down and fell asleep under the stars. However Dexter looked around, feeling like somebody is watching them and lays down to realise it could've been his mind.
