Song: "On your/my own" from Sofia the first.
~~~~~~~~~~
Curled in a ball, Cloud whimpered. This is bad, really really bad. She had been captured by the oni while sneaking out of the bounty one night and dragged a friend, rather acquaintance, along with her. They hadn't expected this to ever happen that same night and why hadn't they gone for Harumi and the resistance instead?

Not like she wanted them to, of course, anything to keep her precious family sake. Even if it meant her being locked up in their places—Cloud holds that thought. Her ears twitched at the sound of footsteps coming up onto the roof-topped throne room. What, was it lunchtime already?

She gave a weary glance over to Nix who was laying down a few inches away from her before pushing her paws off the ground to stand up. Whatever slop or soup the oni will give them, she wasn't eating it. However, her next guesses evaporated into a fit of smoke as there were not two oni guards but three of them, pushing a group of people up the stairs.

Group of people in coloured attires, wait a second.

Cloud recognizes them. She wags her tail and rushes over to one corner of the cage. Nix yawns and raises a brow at what could have possibly made the puppy so excited and happy all of a sudden. "Uh, may I need to remind you where we are?" He questioned, being nice enough to be willing to give her such a reminder in the first place, even if it killed his own spirits.
But, Cloud shook her head and continued to wag her tail.

"Hey, that's my family!" She claimed, accompanying a bark as she noticed the oni forcing them to enter the cage right beside theirs. "Guys!" She smiled, calling out to the resistance, hoping they'd hear her. She called their names, all except from Lloyd, she still didn't know if she should trust someone like him. Nix rolled his eyes, letting her continue screaming her lungs out.

Entering the cage, the first to react was the water ninja. She sat down by the corner and instantly turned her head to face the other cage, spotting the Pomeranian and the Husky. "Wait, that's Cloud, right? It looks exactly like her." She pointed out to the rest of the resistance.
The fire ninja squinted his eyes, taking a closer look.

His eyes widened, but it was in fact true, it really was Cloud. Unless, his mind was playing tricks on him again. He hasn't been played for such a long time now, the only time where he was when Skylor...Kai shook his head, no, he couldn't think about it now. "That's impossible. Cloud can't speak, she's a dog." He pointed out.

Cloud gave a happy bark, nodding at Kai's concerns. "I'm not sure how it happened either!" She chimed, taking a pause to think about what else to say. "I think it was the brown tea that spilled on me a few days back, found the exact thing in an alleyway though!" She added. The elderly lady, who was now sitting beside Skylor and in between the earth ninja, tilted her head in surprise. "Brown tea?" She asked.

The white pomeranian nodded and jumped around the cage a little. "Yes! I saw it in the alleyway and now it's so much easier to talk to you all!" She exclaimed, gasping at the sight of more of her precious family entering the cage, she could see all of them now, talk to them, even. She particularly nudged Nix to stand up and wake up from his nap when Ultra Violet, Mr. E and Killow entered. She gave a greeting bark at them.

The husky raised a brow at the sight of them, so that meant that Cloud really wasn't lying. He gave a questionable look when Ultra Violet snickered and waved at Cloud, she held one of the bars with one hand. "Yo Cloud, heya!" The ex-general called out, rather happy to see more of her allies here. Even if they were all stuck in a cage now. A happy reunion.

Cloud nodded and jumped once more. "Killow, Ultra Violet, hi!" She called back, happy to finally be able to speak with her family and being heard. Nix chuckled lightly and returned to lay back down on the cage, sighing. Unlike Cloud, he didn't have a family, he didn't have anyone to smile at. Even if he's smiled at Cloud for time to time but that's because, she was just...so impulsive and funny.. really sassy though. He narrowed his eyes.
