Kole said, "Blaze, I don't think they've heard of The Plains. Or The Savanna. Or anything we know." Blaze said, "That's concerning." Blaze started waking everyone up, and Steel said, "Maybe the Grounders will let Kole and his friends stay with them." Shadow said, "Perhaps. I don't think that they would though."
Simon sighed and said, "You're so negative." Shadow cried out, "It's not my fault destiny is no cruel to me! My mate is gone saving the entire galaxy!" That instantly caught Blaze's attention and he said, "Excuse me, what?" Instead of waking the others up, Blaze sat next to Kole and said, "Keep speaking of this character."
Kole scoffed and got up to wake the others. He woke them up, and they were introduced to the cats. Milo said, "You cats are cute!" Lark said, "This is impossible." Steel said, "What's impossible is how you got here." Then Kole said, "Wait... how did we get here? And Mr. Nafario is still missing."
Then Boom said, "I was here the whole time you guys were asleep. I didn't see anyone wake up or anything." Then Blaze said, "So Mr. Nafario is still in the infinite loop!" Then Blacksmith said, "We're not even in Africa at all. It's like we're in another part of the world."
"Another what!?" Ice said out loud. It looked like he was about to panic.
Simon said, "We should ask Stark about this." Shadow shouted, "Idiot! He's busy with something else! We'd be lucky if he even answers one of our questions!" Lark said, "Can we just go to the town? Please?" Boom sighed and said, "Follow us." I stood up, and walked after Boom. I heard Blaze and Lark arguing behind me, and I heard Blacksmith talking to Ice about maps.
Milo quickly walked next to me, and he asked, "Hey Clau- I mean Kole. If you do get your powers and memories back, do you think we could spar at the Sun Temple again?" I grinned and said, "Sure thing, Boss." Milo looked at the sky with such a happy face. I smirked, and we kept walking until we heard Boom shout, "We're here!"
We arrived at a bunch of destroyed human structures with decorations and roads all over the place. There were cats walking around and cats talking to each other. There were cats everywhere. Beyond that was the ocean with structures I had never seen before. Ice said, "I have never seen such a place." Kole said, "You're right..."
Shadow said, "They're a bunch of hillbillies."
Blaze growled, "Was that an insult, cat?" Shadow swished around and shouted, "Wanna go, punk? I'll beat your ass!" Steel said, "Shadow don't insult them." She just huffed, and walked away. Steel said, "You have a choice. Since you have a fox with you, the King of Foxapolis will let you in to a much bigger city. Or you could just stay here."
Blaze cringed at the name, and Lark started laughing. I said, "We'll stay here." Boom said, "Alright. I'll tell everyone that you're here." Boom ran away, and Shadow said, "You better not break anything. I will personally tear your ears off." Simon shook his head and walked away. Steel said, "Alright you guys. Follow me." We followed Steel to a huge structure.
It was still intact, but it looked really old. Steel said, "This is called a barn. Humans used to leave bigger animals in here." He pressed a button, and the doors started to open. Ice said, "This is like that technology Paul has." Inside the barn was a lot of dead grass on the floor with mice scurrying around beneath it.
There were holes in the ceiling and in the walls, and birds dwelled near the ceiling. Steel said, "Stay here for the time being. I'll be back soon." He walked out of the barn, and the doors closed. Ice walked over to me and said, "It stinks in here." Milo laid down, and Blaze started burning grass for his entertainment, but Lark keeps putting the fire out.
Ice asked, "Do you think Mr. Nafario is okay?" Kole said, "He has to be. He's strong." Ice looked down at his paws and said, "But... he's old, y'know? And... he's not that powerful anymore. He... could-" Kole raised his voice saying, "He won't. He can't." Ice was about to say something else, but he stopped himself. Suddenly, the door started opening again and they all saw three cats at the doorway.
One of the cats shouted, "That's Claudius!"
