Hey guys, I'm back with the new part of the episode. Hopefully, I will upload the next part either by tomorrow or Tuesday. Either way, this is going to be more intense than the other chapters. And hopefully, our characters will meet up again as one instead of being divided for so long! I think I might do a Twenty episode, depending on how long episode will take. So, this is published on July 11, 2020. I will publish the next part hopefully by tomorrow. If not tomorrow, then Tuesday! If you like this part, please vote and/or comment. I would love to hear your thoughts and it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read this and have a blessed day. Warning: There will be collision and blood in this one. Enjoy!*

Oncelor warily led the Lorax, Grinch, Max, Dave, Jeffrey, Cat, Gabriella, and Sam through the decayed Truffala Tree forest where the crows croaked a broken melody. Karlos's fishbowl was placed on top of Cat's flimsy hat as Karlos swam around the fishbowl anxiously.

"Are we still sure we had to go to that 'forbidden' place?" Karlos uttered while looking at the Oncelor from his fishbowl. "And what's so bad about that place anyway?"

"This place is full of dictators, greed, and, worst of all, corruption," Oncelor cautioned as he squinted through the desolate fog to see where he's going.

Grinch groaned a bit while smiling sarcastically. "Great, more corruption. How are we going to find Guy through this city?"

"I know a secret way we can enter the city without being spotted," Oncelor advised and shifted his glance over his shoulder at the Grinch.

Lorax raised his yellow bushy brow. "Um...how?"

"Well, a man once showed me the way out of Thneedville," Oncelor replied with a sigh. "He's a good man."

"Why are they after you?" Sam questioned the Oncelor. "Like the cultists or the police of that place?"

Oncelor stopped dead in his tracks, causing the group to stop with him. "Do you know the phrase, 'Out with the old, in with the new'?"

Sam nodded his head slightly.

"Well," the Oncelor continued. "A long time ago, I was a big hit. I'm pretty sure the Lorax remembered."

The Lorax gazed off sadly, his face darkened to remember those memories.

"A big hit, huh? In what way?" Cat asked, interested in the conversation.

Oncelor sighed deeply. "I sell Thneeds and making little scarfs out of them. The people loved it...so I make more and more of them...until--until there was no more Thneed."

"Where did you get the Thneed from?" Jeffrey probed, arching a brow.

"Look around you. Do you see all those trees chopped down? That's where I got the Thneed from...and that's where Thneedville is born," Oncelor responded while gesturing at their surroundings. "O'Hare found a way to sell air without the need for trees and...well, I'm the old...and he's the new."

The Lorax spotted a dreary dome ahead of them. "This is it."

Everyone gazed up at the dome, their eyes broadened with surprise.

Grinch gasped lightly with his mouth open agape. "Oh my gosh."

"So...why a dome?" Dave muttered the question to himself.

"It's supposed to be a utopia," Oncelor answered the question. "That's how they trap people in Thneedville; including Guy."

"How do we get him out?" Karlos asked logically.

Oncelor cornered a small smile. "A man once saved my life and helped me get out of the city through the tunnel. Although, I had no idea how long he lived after I left. I hope he's still out there."
