Chapter Four

Yellowfang and Wikipedia appear inside a stone fort, surrounded by soldiers who are listening to a speaker.

Yellowfang: Where are we now? And who are they? *points at soldiers*

Wikipedia: We're in Texas, in the Alamo. That's a group of Texian soldiers, listening to their Commander, William B. Travis.

Yellowfang: Well, what's he saying, then?

Wikipedia: He's telling them that no reinforcements are coming and that any man who chooses to may attempt to sneak through the enemy forces. Right now he's saying that they have no chance of winning.

Yellowfang: Can't they just surrender?

Wikipedia: They could, but that would make their enemy, the Mexican Army, think that they are weak. By choosing to fight and die, they rallied people all over their country to fight.

Yellowfang: Sounds boring. Who's that guy leaving?

Wikipedia: Moses Rose. He's choosing to try and sneak past the enemy troops, rather than fight. He'll forever be remembered as a coward by people all over the country.

Yellowfang: You mean he's deserting his Clan in battle?

Wikipedia: Uh... sure.

Yellowfang: Traitor! *launches herself at Moses Rose but goes straight through him* Mousedung!

Wikipedia: You can't touch them, remember?

Yellowfang: *grumbling* Oh, shut up.

Wikipedia: ...

Yellowfang: Good. So what happens when they fight?

Wikipedia: Can I speak now?

Yellowfang: You just did -_-  But fine.

Wikipedia: To answer your question, they all die in the battle. But they did a surprisingly good amount of damage to the enemy.

Yellowfang: Wait, they all die? Even the commander?

Wikipedia: Yup.

Yellowfang: Huh. Plot twist.

Wikipedia: Yeah.

Yellowfang: *starts exploring, sticking her head into random rooms* Hey, who're they?

Wikipedia: *looks into the room with Yellowfang*

A woman sits with a young baby.

Wikipedia: That's Susanna Dickinson and her daughter. They're two of the few survivors.

Yellowfang: Why did the queen take her kit to a battle?

Wikipedia: She had nowhere else to go.

Yellowfang: Makes sense, I guess. *continues exploring*

Yellowfang and Wikipedia walk into a room filled with cannons, guns, and other pieces of weaponry.

Yellowfang: Ooh, what's this? *jumps into a cannon*

Wikipedia: You may not want to do that! *sighs* Too late.

Yellowfang: *crawls back out of the cannon, her fur covered in soot, gun-powder, and grease* Why?

Wikipedia: Uh... Check out your fur. *holds up mirror*

Yellowfang: *yelps* Get it off!

Wikipedia: Don't lick it—it's poisonous.

Yellowfang: Well, then, how am I supposed to get it off?!

Wikipedia: Uh, water? Unfortunately for you, it hasn't rained in Texas for a while, so no puddles. And the water barrels are kept tightly sealed. Basically, you're stuck with gross fur until we leave.

Yellowfang: Let's leave, then!

Wikipedia: Fine.

Both cats jump into the swirling portal.
