Scarlet had walked right into a trap and as the dust cleared there was nothing but scraps of the hut that was previously there.
Nick had just made it to the battlefield and was doing a fly around to find Scarlet. Suddenly his whole body was in great pain and felt like it was on Fire. He couldn't stay in the Air and began to fall. Doctor Sebastian was quick to realize that Scarlet must have been hurt badly enough to have Nick going down like this.
Thinking quickly, he used his Web to make a net and catch Nick. As they landed, he looked at Nick and said "What direction is she in?!"
As he tried to push past the pain, he told him the direction and he took off leaving Nick to care for himself and catch up. The Female that was panicking earlier was in the arms of a Strong Male and they were laughing as they walked away from the remains of a hut.
He paid them no mind and went right for the wreckage. As he started to rummage through everything Nick and the others had arrived and began to through things about. Not caring about who or what was around.
Since the target was Scarlet alone and the target was taken out there was no reason for the battle to continue and the enemy started to fall back.
As things started to settle down the villagers began to take in everything that had happened. Young Chef Josh had seen Nick falling and as soon as he could, he made his way towards the group who were searching for rubble and knew then that Scarlet must have been there.
When he ran up to them, he was about to ask where to start when the ground began to rumble and the remains of the hut along with the whole group that was searching were caught in it and they were all swallowed up by the ground in the blink of an eye.
As Young Chef Josh watched this, he yelled out "Stay back! We need to find a to get to them! Fan out and gather what you can! We need to save the 'Great Spirit'!"
The whole place was already in chaos from the battle, and those who remained were trying their best to deal with what was in front of them. There were people that still needed to be rescued and injured. Some of the weaker Ones were not able to take it anymore and their minds shut down.
So, when Young Chef Josh said that the 'Great Spirit' needed help there weren't many who were able to really do that. His people, however, had just arrived and they went to work doing what they could. Some of them even brought some supplies, Medical supplies and Doctors, food, and clothing. The supplies and help were distributed quickly, and they were able to focus on what needed to be done.
It was well into the Afternoon and there were still no signs of Scarlet or anyone from her group. It was clear that the Breezy Meadow Horse Clan could not stay there anymore, and he decided to do what he thought that she would do. He would take them in and help them just like Scarlet would.
One of the Males that lived with the Horse Clan came up to him and said "My name is Aaron, and I am a Snake Male. I have met the 'Great Spirit' and I have been with her as she has helped a Snake Clan move before. I am able to assist with this move as well. If you would like Young Chef Josh?"
Young Chef Josh was still devastated with the loss of Scarlet and was grateful for any help that could be given. Nodding in agreement he said "What is it that should be done First?"
Aaron was gathering the Males that could be spared and told them what he needed to make carts for everything that they would need to make the trip back, along with the wounded.
By the time things were organized for the move it was already dark. The Ones that remained after the battle were all huddled together in the few huts that were left standing. Those that could fly would bring the carts back with the Females, Young, and Wounded inside and those that were able bodied were going to travel back on their own.
It was too cold out and everyone was tired from the events and losses from the day, so the plan was to head out in the Morning.
Since Young Chef Josh had a lot on his mind, he was not tired. Since he couldn't sit still, he decided to walk around and make sure everything stayed safe during the Night. Trying to find some sort of piece or understanding of the day's terrible events.
