I am finally back in the Darkscars territory. Berry and Bush were there. “Oh hello. Did you come back to recite the plan to Ivy?” Bush said. I nodded. “Don’t worry. I already told her.” Berry said. “Perfect.” I mouthed. “Something wrong?” Berry said. “Nothing. My voice just got stolen by Fog.” I replied silently. “Oh really? I actually saw Fog holding something strange. It may or may not be your voice!” Bush said. Apparently, Bush can read my mouth, which is convenient.

After my conversation with the two, I kept walking. After all, I didn’t come here just to talk with them. I had business to finish once and for all.
I approached Fog somewhere in the large den of the Darkscars. “I believe you have something that belongs to me.” I mouthed. “Well, what are you waiting for? I’m right here!” He said.
And without warning, he ran behind me and used the “BEHIND YOU” strategy. I didn’t fall for it, though. When he realized it wasn’t working, he then stated running around me to give the illusion that there are more of him than there actually are. I scratched him, and after that we were just scratching at each other, whipping with our tails, biting, and many other techniques wolves use in combat.

The battle raged on for hours, with no end in sight. Suddenly, I heard a cry of pain from Fog. “Okay… okay… it is clear that I am incapable of defeating you… so… here’s your voice back. I won’t pester you again.” He said, clearly exhausted from our long battle. “YES! I CAN SPEAK AGAIN!” I shouted victoriously. “You’ll lose your voice without someone stealing it if you shout like that.” Fog joked. “Now get lost. Before I make you lose your voice again.”
I knew what he meant by that and scrammed instantly.

As I walked back to the Lightbringer’s den, I noticed Bush & Berry following me. “What are you guys doing?” I asked. “Um… we decided to join your pack. We feel that it is the right choice.” Berry said. I can’t believe what I had just heard. “Well, welcome to the pack!” I said, smiling.

Omni and Fog just needed another reason to have that final showdown I guess??? I don't know about you, but Little Mermaiding someone just to fight them again sounds really petty, it's clear this fight was forced.
