When they got to the building, there were hyenas blocking the entrance. One said, "Beat it! You have no business here!" Ice froze all of them at once and said, "Yeah we do." Lark shouted, "Ice! What did just say!?" Ice's paws became more frozen after the attack. Blaze said, "This is so strange. Lark why are his paws getting frozen?"
Lark said, "I don't know. I think... only Mr. Nafario would know about this." There was a short moment of silence before Lark said, "Let's go. We need to save the wolves' chief." Everyone broke the door to the entrance of the building, and they we're met by many guards. Ice was about to use his powers again, but Milo shouted, "Charge!"
Lark, Blaze and Milo immediately started fighting with the guards. Ice shouted, "Let me handle this!" Milo shouted, "No! We don't want you to freeze at a time like this!" Ice didn't listen to what Milo said. He froze the floor, and started freezing the enemies, and not his friends. The room was filled with yelps and screams, and the loudest ones were from Lark, Blaze and Milo.
Ice couldn't hear what they were saying. He just heard screaming. His vision was turning blue, and he felt cold. He couldn't feel his paws, so he screamed in fear. When he started screaming, the ice turned dark blue and it started to spread everywhere. Blaze shouted, "Dammit! That idiot!" Lark said, "Be careful! We have to get to the second floor before it's too late!"
Lark, Blaze and Milo ran upstairs, and luckily, there were no guards at the moment. Blaze said, "We need Kole. He was able to help Ice before!" Lark said, "We can't go back downstairs. It's too risky." Blaze shouted, "You coward! You don't do shit!" Lark tried to stop Blaze, but he was too small to do anything. Blaze rushed in and his paws immediately started to freeze.
When he got out of the building, his paws were frozen, but that didn't stop him from getting to Kole.
"Blaze.." Lark said while growling. Milo said, "Lark. We don't have time for this. We need to save the chief." Lark shook his head and said, "Yeah. Let's go." When Lark and Milo proceeded up the stairs, the third floor mysteriously didn't have any guards either. Milo said, "I don't think there are anymore guards..."
Lark said, "That's... strange. Something's wrong..." Milo was silent for a second, but then he asked, "Does this clan mean something to you? This underground city?" Lark paused. He sighed and said, "This is my home. I'm a wolf of this magic clan. I wish I didn't leave when I did. Pandora wouldn't have been alone for all these years."
"You have a lover?" Milo asked. Lark shook his head and said, "We're only... good friends. I-I... Milo I love her so much. It hurt when I left her in the city. It's been so long, and I don't even know if she even feels the same way." The sudden confession surprised Milo. To him, Lark was usually calm or serious. Now he just looks embarrassed.
Lark said, "Pandora... everything about her is so lovely. She's the white wolf from before." Milo was about to say something, but a loud cackle made Lark and Milo jump. "Y'all thought you was safe, was you?" They turned to see a hyena that was almost the size of Milo. The hyena said, "The name's Bootstrap. I'm the leader of this here gang of hyenas. Remember the name well because it won't be long before I rip your ears off!"
He bared his yellow and bloody fangs at Lark and Milo. The fact that Bootstrap was almost the size of the huge tiger made them afraid. Lark said, "He... could tear us to peices if he wanted to..." Milo growled and said, "I don't think Kole can do the things I do, but I can only try." Milo closed his eyes for a moment, and in an instant, huge boulders appeared. Lark said, "Milo! Why didn't you do this before!?"
Milo said, "I didn't think he could create anything like this out of thin air. It appears he can." He turned to Bootstrap with a determined look and shouted, "Let's fight Bootstrap!" The hyena gave him a wicked grin and said, "You're on, skinny legs!"
