Raza and the slavers walked along while Raza took a glance back. "Damn those gypsies! They slew
Stonefleck and his horde!"
The masked wolf smiled. She had reached the gap. The gap was literally a huge gap in the Earth.
The only way across was a rope bridge. Raza walked neatly across. "C'mon! Either you come over
here or stay there and starve!"
Threeclaws went across. Halftail picked up the slave line and walked it across. Unfortunatly, 
Browntooth got scared and jumped on Badrag. The bridge began to sway as the slaves and slavers
ran across. The bridge broke and fell along with Browntooth and Badrag. 

The slavers watched in horror while Raza smiled insanely. "See, completely bottomless! Let's see
those gypsy vermin and Sonic try to cross that!"

Night fell over the slavers as Raza took watch alone. Janga Shadowlurker the lion approached her.
He was big for a lion, with black scraggly mane and powerful limbs. "The slaves?" Janga spoke.
"Over there."
Janga pointed and the rats bound and gagged the slaves. Raza shook Deepblade. "Deepblade,my loyal
friend, you will come with me. We are almost there."
Deepblade stood up and as he did, he stepped on Damper's paw. The weasel awoke with a whimper.
"Raza, where are they taking the.....ARGH!"
At a cue from Janga, a rat slew Damper. Janga stayed behind and walked towards Sonic and Co. If
they were to get across the ravine, he was to deal with them.

Soni stood over the ravine. "For once, I, King of the Gypsies, am stumped."
Knuckles did a couple practice glides as Sonic and Soni looked at each other. "You thinkin what
I'm thinkin?"
"Oh Knuuuuuuuckles?"

After about an hour, Knuckles had succesfuly glided all the creatures across the ravine. Jabez
soon found food and water and everyone ate and drank heartily. That was when Janga Shadowlurker
came upon them.

Slagar the fox awoke before any of the slavers. He had thought over the night and decided to 
ditch. He crept away, towards the camp of Sonic and Co.

About an hour later, the other slavers awoke. Drynose was the first to discover Damper's carcass.
"That filthy murdering wolf, she's killed my mate Damper."
Fengal looked at them. He liked Raza. "Rubbish, Raza wouldn't kill one of her own."
That comment cost him his life.Dethbrush ran him through. "What about Hairbelly and Wedgeback?She
did them both in!"
Deadnose picked up a spear and thrust it at Dethbrush. "Don't you kill my mate Fengal!"
Halftail lept up and spitted both of them. "Huh, Raza left me in charge and I don't want to see
this!"
Drynose made a rush at Halftail only to be impaled on the stoat's sword. Fleaback tried to get 
the stoat from behind only to be slain by Bageye. Snakespur and Skinpaw lept at Bageye and killed
him instantly with their hooks. "We've got this one, go on Threeclaws, finish Halftail!"
Halftail fought like a madbeast. The stoat slew Vitch the rat with the fallen spear of Deadnose.
He wounded Wartclaw and was about to finish him off when the weasel Threeclaws got him in the 
back with his schimiter. Halftail has dead before he hit the ground.

The survivors, undecided on what to do, sat around and lounged about. Of the slaving band that
took the young ones from Knothole, only Threeclaws weasel, Skinpaw Weasel, Wartclaw Weasel, 
Snakespur Weasel, and Scringe ferret were alive. "What happened to Slagar and little Deepblade?"
Skinpaw wondered aloud.
Snakespur destroyed a leaf in midair with his hook. "Dead as a pickled frog for all I care. Whats
one more weasel hybrid and fox to us? We're pubred weasels mate. Oh, and a ferret too. I tell ya,
I'd love to have that wolf's guts on the end of this hook!"

Tails awoke to see nothing but black inside a dark cell. He could feel Callista's paw. "Tails,
where are we?"
"I don't know."
A rat entered the room. "I am Balefur, Voice of the Host. You are now the slaves of Swartt. I 
will decide when you are fit to use your eyes again. Until then."
The rat slamed the door. Liz cried out into the darkness. "Who's Swartt?"
Dhorba clutched her paw. "I don't know, but I think we're going to find out!"

At the camp, all hell broke out. Janga slew 5 weasels on the spot. He pinned Sonic to the ground
with a malicious gleam in his eyes. Sonic watched as the huge paw lifted up as his life flashed
before him. Uncle Chuck.....Sonia and David.....the Takeover.......battles with Robotnik......
the Doomsday project....Raza.. Suddenly, Janga was flung off of Sonic. He looked up to see Soni
the gypsy hedgehog push Janga down. Soni was fighting back.

Janga lunged at Soni. The gypsy leapt nimbly aside as Janga crashed to the ground. The huge lion
got up and leapt again, punching Soni in the face. Soni made a punch at Janga only to find out 
the lion was a robot! He saw blood on the ground...his blood...he threw it into the eyes of Janga
and yelled "It's called blood! Do you have any of it?!"
The lion roared, unknowing about the ravine behind him. The clever gypsy kicked him in the face.
Janga screamed as he fell into the ravine. 

Soni looked down. The ravine was bottomless, there was no sign of Janga. The Guosim and Sonic
sighed in relief. Once again, they owed their lives to the King of Gypsies. Sally walked up to
the bleeding Soni. "Come over here. We'll get you fixed up."
The fox Slagar appeared on the scene. "I mean you no harm. Raza has ditched the slavers up ahead
and taken the slaves to the underground realm of Swartt."
Ringo gritted his teeth. "I swear, we will find the masked wolf and slay her!"

Raza stood with Balefur at a giant statue of a polecat. "Oh wise Swartt, the masked wolf has come
to remind you of her reward."
"Yes, Raza has served me well. Tell her that I shall grant her 4 score rats to rule my above
ground territory. But tell her beware! If she doublecrosses me, I will slay her and the 4 score
rats. But if she remains faithful, I will give her slaves to build her a fortress and she will
become ruler of all my above ground." A voice came out of the statue. "Now, bring me the slaves."

The new slaves including Tails and his friends were made to bow in front of the statue as Swartt
went over things. "Look at Deepblade," Tails whispered. The rats had made the weasel hybrid a
slave."I hope they chain him next to me for awhile down there."
Callista yelled. "Well I don't care who they chain me next to, I WON'T work for some statue!"
The angry armadillo's cries echoed through the cave. "Take them back. They are not ready to serve
me."

The friends were thrust back into their cell. "Oh, now I've made everyone suffer."
"No you haven't Callista. If you hadn't spoke up, I would." Liz said bravely.
"Aye, that's the spirit! Sonic, Sally, and those gypsies will live to save us! FUR AND FREEDOM!"
Tails yelled. He was knocked over by a rat.

Raza the Cruel smiled as the 4 score rats joined her. She was now leader of them! She walked up
the causeway steps to the surface. Many plans went through her mind but none of them told her
what to do as she came face to face with Sonic Hedgehog!
