Chapter 7: Jaden's Return

The chapter begins with Jaden at a clan that he doesn't know very well as a Louie known as Shiro has captured him and is waiting for his reward but an older Louie steps in and tells the young Louie to let his prisoner go. He explains that they are not savages. Shiro explains that the Louie was on their border stealing berries and warned his leader of what happened when Dark Clan arrived and attacked them. His leader doesn't care and tells him to let the brown Louie go. Shiro grumbles and un ties Jaden and tells him to state why he is in their clan territory. Jaden explains that he is looking for a cure for Hane. As he explains, the leader of the unknown clan asks if that is him. He realizes that his son has come home and Jaden is confused. Jaden says that he is not Aries and he's not his son. Folan tells him that he is his son and makes him show his right paw to him and the rest of the clan. Jaden does so and it is revealed that he wields the mark of the tornado on his paw. Shiro doesn't believe what Folan says as he growls in anger as the two go into the den to share history. Jaden is curious about his history as Folan explains that his history was never completed. He tells Jaden about his mother and the story of the attack. Folan explains that he was meant to be at home but his mother had to save him before it was too late. Jaden soon understands but tells his father not to call him Aries. Folan starts to call him by his new name while Shiro comes in and tells Folan not to give Jaden any Ackle Berries as he still doesn't trust him. Jaden calls Shiro six toes and the two fight for a bit while Jaden reminds Shiro of what his mother tells him, he refuses to kill the brown Louie and makes Shay go out and give him the Ackle Berries. Shay runs off to get them and returns with the berries in a bucket. Jaden thanks them for their time and says that he will come back if he has time and goes off to heal Hane. Folan states that Jaden has grown up.

The next scene shows John trying to shake his ass in front of all of his clan mates but Don and Shade don't laugh and they are not entertained. They both tell him that his moves are very stupid as John thinks that they are jealous. Soon Warey enters clan and he is not happy with Toby as he tells Shade that he didn't kill Noa like he asked him to. Shade tries to explain the issue but Warey also tells him that he didn't kill Allen and punishes him. Shade gets his right eye slashed again and it looks worse then when Allen cut him. Warey gives Shade one more chance to improve on his work as Shade understands, he is forced to look for Toby along with John. Jessie notices Shade's scar on his eye and asks what happened. Bandit makes fun of Shade and tells him that he should be stripped of his rank and be placed with the apprentices as Don tells Bandit to leave him alone. Bandit continues to talk bad about Shade as the spotted Louie becomes upset and no longer wants to be in the camp any longer as Jessie tries to calm him down. Shade looks for both John and Toby.

The next scene shows Jaden coming back home to his normal clan camp. Toby is there as he asks Jaden if he's told the clan about the issue. Jaden admits that he forgot and that he will tell Boxer about it. Toby thanks Jaden as he leaves into the bushes. Jaden goes into the den with the Ackle Berries for Hane. Magic thanks him as Hane tries to get up but ends up having pain in his heart from the infection. He is thought to be dead as Jaden gets scared and asks Hane if he is alright. Gem says that they shall sit silent for Hane as Boxer comes into the den and sees Jaden. Calling him a slow idiot, he proceeds to punch Jaden hard on the right side of his jaw. Jaden is sent falling to the ground, rolling over as he looks up at Boxer with fear in his eyes at the sudden outburst. Jaden tries to explain why he was taking so long but Boxer cuts him off saying that Hane is dead and it's too late. Before he can do anything else to Jaden, Sara gets in front of the scared Louie and tells Boxer that it is not Jaden's fault that Hane is close to dying and tells him that he is acting like a savage. Boxer suddenly realizes the error in his ways and tries to apologize to Jaden but Jaden gets upset and snaps at Boxer saying that he doesn't want to be in a clan to take more punches from a mean leader. He storms off and leaves Super Clan. He decides to go back to his old home in Tornado Clan where he is always welcome.

The next scene shows Shiro becoming annoyed at Shay's thoughts about Jaden as Kuro tells him to calm down. Suddenly, Ace warns the clan that a dog is coming to their camp. Shiro quickly gets up with alarm and tells Ace to bring him his spear. He vows to the clan that he will take care of the dog and goes outside to do so but it turns out that it is Jaden. He yells to Shiro as the Louie recognizes Jaden's voice and asks Jaden what's wrong. Jaden is too shocked to explain and faints. Shiro takes Jaden back into the den for some rest as Jaden has a dream about a huge shadowed Louie telling him that he is not the Louie from the prophecy. Jaden is confused and is scared as the shadowed Louie chants a spell against him and stabs him to death. Jaden wakes up alarmed and tells everyone that he is clean. Ace asks Jaden why he came back so soon. Jaden tells Ace that he was abused by Boxer and decided to come back as Folan wakes up wondering if Kyrie was back at the camp but instead, he sees his son has returned. He notices that Jaden is upset and asks Jaden what is going on. Jaden explains that Boxer beat him up and Folan explains that he is always welcome in their clan. Jaden understands and decides to join Tornado Clan as he is given a cloth to wear. When Aria tries to take his belt away, Jaden says that he wants to keep it just in case Warey returns to get the clan. He promises not to use it on his own clan mates. They allow him to keep the belt as Folan stops doubting Jaden. Jaden tells everyone that the next day is the start of a new era. In his mind, he states that the fight is not over between him and Boxer and that he will get him back soon.

The next scene focuses on John looking for Toby as Shade finally catches up with him and warns him about Warey. John thinks that Shade is having a dream that he is wearing make up, but it's not and Shade explains that he was slashed by Warey. John not knowing that he is abusive thought that Warey liked them all. Shade explains that Warey's voice is different and he's acting weird as if someone is taking over his body. He cannot tell who's voice it is for now and he tells John that they have to find Toby. As they trek a long way, John falls in a deep hole and lands on his chin super hard. Shade calls to John to find out if he is alright as John finds Toby. Toby asks John where Shade is so that he can tell him where he is.

The next scene starts with Super Clan going to the gathering. They wait for the rest of the clans to reach Six Trees. Once all of the clans arrive Boxer asks Clover if he would like to start off the gathering. Clover decides to and talks about the good news in his clan but Gyus cuts him off saying that he did more than just tender his clan. Clover gets scared as Boxer stands up for Clover but Clover admits that they killed a Blade Clan Louie. Gyus escalates the issue more but Boxer doesn't believe that Clover killed their warrior, Zack. Gyus and Boxer fight over the matter as Boxer tells Warey to shut up before the Dark Clan leader could speak. Gyus stands up for Warey as the evil Dark Clan Louie points out Boxer's mistake of punching Jaden. Boxer tells Gyus that it was a mistake but the Blade Clan Louie calls him a savage. A female Luck Clan Louie points out the Gyus killed their warriors too as Boxer gets mad at Gyus and the Blade Clan leader admits to killing one of Luck Clan's best warriors. He apologizes to Clover for his actions as Clover forgives him which makes Raymond upset as he leaps at his leader and knocks him off of the tree. Clover, scared and horrified, lands in the grass, breaking a few bones in his body as he weakly answers Lance's cries. Clover tells Lance that he can no longer go on as leader and appoints him as the new one. Lance, not knowing about being a good leader, tries to keep Clover awake but the old Louie is dying. Clover tells Lance how much he loves everyone before he passes away as Lance tells Clover not to roll his eyes at the back of his head but it is too late and Clover dies in his arms. Lance tries to wake Clover up as he starts crying. He asks Raymond why he killed Clover as Raymond snaps out of his episode and asks Lance if they are all okay. Lance gets mad and tells Raymond not to play stupid as he has Ruff grab him and injure him to see how he likes it. He tells Raymond that he broke the clan laws and has gone too far. He tells Raymond that he can no longer be a warrior and makes him their poisoner. Raymond is sad that he cannot be a warrior or a mentor to Rubin as Ruff takes him back to the clan camp. He is put on lock down. The others don't know what else to do as Boxer looks up at the sky and notices that Fantasy Clan is angry but not at them. They are mad that one of the clans missed the gathering as Rex points out the name of the area is called "Six Trees". Boxer then understands but asks about who is missing. This ends chapter 7.
