(Act 6) The boy was closing his eyes before a familiar voice was heard. Osiris' Voice: Boys!! Toffee stopped when a mound of snow burst, revealing a dishevelled yellow mastiff in front of them. Toffee: He's cold. We have to get back to the jeep to warm him up. Osiris, in his adlet form, picks him up by the back of his collar. Osiris: (muffled) It's been ages I've used this form. Ronin: (shivers/notices) Uncle? Osiris: It's going to be okay, I got you. He was lifted as the boy groaned. Ronin: (wearily) Kandy...she's a Amarok like mom...isn't she? Osiris, looking relunctant at first but smiles warmly for the first time when he puts them in the jeep, turning back into his human form. Osiris: (smiles) Yes. She chose me as her adlet to protect her from her husband, who happens to be my brother. Ronin: He's changed now, Uncle. The tariaksuq took advantage of his lost heart and corrupted him. Toffee: We had to sacrifice the flute of Kinjiru's however to do so. Ronin: (softly)
(Act 5) The kids walk around the tunnel with the light shining, each carefully walking a bit. Miseria: Man, it's dark here. Ronin: (checks crystal) Maybe there's a reason why Merlin gave me this. The moment he looks at it, the ice wall in front of them glowed, showing a visual of a familiar woman humming. Ronin: (realizes/saddened) Mum. He held the crystal of the visual. Young Ronin's Voice: I can't wait for the baby to come. We're going to be best friends, aren't we? Kinjiru in Crystal: You're going to be the best big brother in the world. Toffee: (saddened) It's the night she vanished. The visual shows Kinjiru, clutching her swollen belly in pain, groaning and heading to the door. Osiris' Voice: (in crystal/concern) Kinjiru? Young Toffee in Crystal: (worriedly) Ma'am? Ronin: (softly) I remember this... The familiar scene played out of the woman with white marks in pain. Kinjiru in Crystal: I'm so sorry. Osiris' Voice: (in crystal) Kinjiru!! Young Ronin's Voice:
(Act 4) (Flashback) In Ronin's P.O.V, he hears humming from a shadowed woman with cyan hair. Ronin's Voice: (softly) Mom? (End Flashback) He opened his eyes, hearing the flute before turning to Kandy playing. Miseria: (points) Look out there... She pointed to the glowing snowflakes outside. Kandy only watched as she looked at the snowflakes making a long winding path. Toffee: It wants us to go somewhere important. Kandy, seeing the snowflakes, suddenly grabs the emergency brake of the bus, causing it to screech to a halt as the children screamed in surprise. Rasticore: (in pain) Ow. Ronin: (grunting) What are you doing? We're on the bus! I'm getting us home. She ran out of the bus, following the snowflakes. Ron Wilson: (to Ronin/angrily) You should've said if you wanted to get off the bus! Ronin: (shouts) Wait! The other four kids follow with Ronin worried. Ron Wilson: This is not an official stop, you know. (mutters/closing door) Bleedin' trick or treaters. The bus
(Act 3) With Ronin, he checks the map he drew, looking around. Ronin: (mutters) This might be the street. He then noticed his sister's breathing before stopping and rolling his eyes, turning. Ronin: (sighs) What do you think you're doing? She only pointed to the Chase drawing. Ronin: (frowns) No. I'm going home to live with Chase. You're going to stay at Grandpa's. She frowned, staying put. Ronin: (glares) I said no! She angrily kicks his leg, making him yelp. Ronin: Ow! (snaps) Right, that's it. He hooks a leash on her and drags her. Ronin: You can only come with me if you obey my orders at all times. I'm the oldest and that's the rule. If you put one step out of line, I do this... He presses a button, making the contraption reel in the leashed Kandy, making her pout and glare. Ronin: Don't look at me like that! As that happened, neither noticed the creatures following. All while with the other three, Miseria ran as she whooped. Miseria: Finally! Freedom and time for
(Act 2) At a bar in a town that night, Osiris sat at a table in the corner, sadly thinking while the other rangers and bar patrons chatted. He rubbed his face with grief. Back home, Kandy peeks out from under her blanket, quietly gets out of bed and snuck to her brother's room. She peeks in to see Ronin and Chase asleep, the dog cuddled next to him. She quietly and carefully takes the flute from the shelf and snuck out just as Toffee peeks out of the room, watching her. Toffee: (softly) Be careful, Kandy. She snuck into the bathroom. She examines the flute and blew into it, creating a sound. She gasps in amazement, playing a familiar song into it when she notices the magical snowflakes appear from the window. Kandy: Huh? Slowly, she follows the snowflakes out of the room, exiting the bathroom before following the trail leading her to the attic. Toffee: (appearing/touching her shoulder) It's time. She looks surprised at him before he pulls down the attic ladder, opening the
A/N: Sorry this is uploaded late due to things going on in my side, but better late than never. Anyway, happy belated St. Patrick's Day at least. A painting depicting Inuit spirits and animals including a maiden wearing a wolf-shaped pendant is shown. Woman's Voice: Come away, oh, human child, to the waters and the wild with a spirit, hand in hand, for the world's more full of weeping than you can understand. A flash is shown as a cabin is shown in a snowy field. A pack of wolves stopped by the cabin as if waiting for something. Inside the cabin, as a blue haired pregnant woman was singing in Irish Gaelic, she with a cyan hair colored boy were painting a mural while a puppy barked a bit. Woman: Will you try it with me, Ronin? Ronin: Oh, okay. He tried to sing in Gaelic a bit before stopping a bit. Ronin: Uuuuh I forget. His mother sang a bit in Irish Gaelic. He tries to repeat it, but they ended up laughing. Just then, the door opens, revealing a man in ranger uniform with

(Act 3) Some water was splashed on the two, making them cough and wake before they groan. Snakeman: Rise and shine, my delusional friend. Snake: (spitting) Who are you? Naga-Ya: The Phantom Racer. The assassin that killed us centuries ago. Apep: How could he be the same guy...? The fangless Snakeman smirks down at them. Apep: If he still looks like he's never aged a bit!? Snake: (ponders) I recalled something about the Sssssnakemen from Henry. They are known to live much longer. Even after being sssssealed away. Phantom Racer: (grins) Correct. Apep: (dryly) That explains it. Naga-Ya: (angrily) Why are you here? You already finished the job centuries ago on us. Phantom Racer: (chuckles) Nothing. That was just for fun. I've been following you for weeks... waiting to be led to this treasure trove. He motions to the artifacts in the room. Phantom Raver: These Eternian artifacts will go for millions on the black market. And I do so like money. (To Naga-Ya) But I need your

(Act 2) They stared at the Snakewoman for a moment when Apep burst into laughter. Apep: (wipes away tears) I'm sorry. I'm not laughing at you, exactly. He chuckled and snicker. Apep: Oh wait, you're serious. Let me laugh even harder. He laughed more hysterically. Naga-Ya: I'm serious, Kobura. I know you are. Apep: (snorts/mockingly) Yeah, and I know the Tooth Fairy. Gyro: (dryly) And if he's the Tooth Fairy, I'm Santa Claus. Scrooge: (annoyed) Hey, watch with the name, Gearloose. Snake's Voice: (in Apep) Do the wordsss "I told you ssso" mean anything? Naga-Ya: I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out. Our souls have been bound together for thousands of years. Apep: (dryly) What? Elsewhere, Matthew and Berry scanned the corridor cautiously, the Phagetail summoning his Orochi sword and wielding it. Naga-Ya's Voice: You are Orochi's poison, Dokuchi. But I know you have been having these...flashes before. Apep's Voice: So what? They don't mean anything. A shadow takes form

A/N: Story is set a bit after the present time scenes in Hercules~KNS Style. A battle is seen when random people with rifles with names hovering over their heads fired at the opponents, the camera moving back to reveal a gaming competition at the arcade as the crowd cheers. Dog Player: (moving controls/grins) We will not be stopped. In the game, an avatar that looks like an iguana in rock clothes bashes a guitar and a couple of characters as Diego laughs, making his avatar swing the guitar. Diego: (to dog) Your partners are going down, T-Bone47! T-Bone47: (growls) And so are you. He makes his avatar throw a grenade at Diego's avatar, killing and disqualifying him from the fight. Diego: (screams) NOOOOO! Ryuuki: (moving controls) I'll avenge you, Diego! Fushi: (pats him) Diego, you all right? Diego: Yeah, just need to catch my breath. He glances at the scoreboard, seeing a huge cross appearing on his picture. Diego: (anime tears) I never liked stealth games! You never know
(Act 3) As the grey foxbot and pterodacytl bot tumble down the chasm, Greyburn bashes Swoop into a wall, making him cry out. Then, spider webs catch them as the spiderbot ties the pterodactyl up against a tree when they reach the ground. Swoop: (struggling) UGH! NO! Blackarachnia: (sternly) I'm sorry, but this is for your own good. She looks behind him to see the Dinobots and the other hybrids trapped in a web. Greyburn: (seriously) It doesn't have to be this way. You may have the minds of caveman, but I know you're smart enough to understand what us right and what is wrong. Grimlock: Doctor told us to destroy you. And us will. When you gone, Wyvern love me. Swoop: No, me!! Blackarachnia: (groans/facepalms) Oh god, now I know why Razortooth hates me. Greyburn: (snaps) What they're doing isn't love! (Calms down) Forget it. We'll find a way to get the totem and then put an end to this. Sonic: And until then...
