Tainted was mad. She was mad at the Lurkers. She would form an army to overthrow them. The first member she would accept would be her poor sister, who was shunned because her mother was once a Haunter. How much more critical could you get?

She stood in a high place where her voice would carry all over the area. "THE SHADOW LURKERS ARE UNFAIR!" She howled out. She then waited for a curious group to gather.

Kanuk, Zina, Bamboo, Chinue, Papyrus, Irakli, Xatia, Zafirah, Kaden and Zahavi gathered around the young hybrid, wondering what they could be talking about. They all knew who the Shadow Lurkers were, but never had they heard this before.

Jena was walking with her sister Ruby when she heard someone yell"Shadow lurkers are unfair".Without hesitating she let out a agreeable growl.She didn't like the way they were treating everybody.She had never been neutral and didn't think she would be.She was a siberian tiger and it showed by her white pelt,Her green eyes shone dark when she thought of the shadow lurkers.

Ruby stood beside her sister and let out a agreeable growl too.She always agreed with her sister on this case.The shadow lurkers have to be dealt with.Silently she waited for the others reaction to their saying showing up.Of course she didn't know anybody here.She felt the cold air,but she gnored it.Her pelt was thick like most siberian tigers,and could handle the cold.

Tainted looked at the group and smiled. "The Shadow Lurkers have shunned my sister and attacked my mother. Why? Because my mother was once a Shadow Haunter. The leader of the Lurkers is evil. She thinks she can control us." She said in a loud, dominant tone. "Do you think my sister deserves what she got? Do you think my mother deserves to be judged by her past? If you do, you're an outcast. But don't worry, I am too. We all are. We're not accepted into any pack because we're too powerful. We're a threat to the leaders because we, ourselves, are much better leaders." She counted those who gathered before speaking up again. "There are 13 of us. It's a small army compared to the Lurkers, but most of us are larger and stronger than the wolves over there. We're more powerful. A force to be reckoned with. If we go straight for the leaders, we could win fairly easily. We'll use the rusher tactic - running in and attacking right then and there. They'll have no choice but to flee. Are you with me?"

"Down with the Lurkers!" Shouted Kaden and Zahavi, two tiger brothers.

"Tainted!" Suenga barked, running up to Tainted, Avara behind him. He didn't know if Susi or Kahvi had followed, and he, quit frankly, didn't care. "As much as I hate to be a betrayer, your call is stronger then the Lurkers." Suenga stood tall beside Tainted, his fur ruffling. "I...I'm with you, Tainted. Cuz...I li....love you." If a dog could blush, Suenga would be a bright pink color.

Avara panted, flopping down on the canyon floor, crying.

Tainted's hopes were lifted when she saw Suenga and the pups. "I love you too, Suenga." She was pleased that her good friend had chosen to follow along.

Kahvi and Susi laid next to Avara, sobbing. "Mama's gonna die and everyone hates her now!" Susi cried out.

"No pups, Aurinka will be okay." Suenga said softly, nuzzling the exhausted pups. He turned to Tainted with soft eyes. "We need a name." His eyes flickered with mischief.

Avara shivered. "No, Aunt Tainted and Grandmother will protect her." Avara whispered.

Tainted smiled. "We are outcasts. We have been shunned from our packs because of what somebody else did. We did nothing to deserve this. Therefore, I suggest that we are The Outcasts." She replied, moving over and sitting down next to the sorrowful pups.

Susi nodded. "But we have to fight if we want our mother to survive and be happy." She added.

Jena let out a agreeable snarl this time.Loud enough to be heard.She listened silently as two more appeared and then pups.When they said name her head had been thinking.Looking up unsure if she be aloud to speak up."How about the Freedom Mob,"she said.Silently she waited to see what they say.Her ears went against her head in a frinedly way.Her head enclined questiongly.

Ruby smiled evily when she heard that they attack right away.She needed a god fight for reveng.Reveng for her mother and farther's death.Brother killed savagly.Pack slaughtered one by one.How she hated the world for this.It was hard for her to trust someone.If you lost her trust you never got it back.She let out a agreeable snarl that was louder than her sister.She waited her pelt bristling barely already ready for a fight.

Tainted looked over the group. "I suggest The Rebels. We don't follow the rules because the rules are wrong." She said with a proud smile. "Of course, then there The Resistance. We resist against Hydras and her ignorant band of slaves."

Jena listened to what Tainted said.Those names would do too she thought.She smirked when she heard what the female said about Hydras.She would drive her teeth in the fools neck."When will we attack,"she called.

Ruby let out a growl of amusment when she heard the fea call Hydras a ignorant slave.Silently she waited for the fea to answer her sister.She was ready to tase blood.Their was a wild light in her eye that shined darkly.

Tainted looked at Jena, an blank look in her eyes. "I understand that you may be getting impatient. But this is one thing we cannot rush. We will attack when it is time. We have to wait until the Lurkers are at their weakest." She explained.

"The Rebels sounds good." Suenga said with a smile, wagging his tail. "We must build up strength, but remain a bit unheard of by Hydras. She finds out and she won't resist to attack, I know her." Suenga stared at the gloomy sky, snowflakes falling on his muzzle. "We need to recruit soon. Are we friends or foes with the Shadow Haunters?" Suenga held his head high and tail high, something he had rarely, if ever, done with the Shadow Lurkers, because of Hydras high pecking order.

"The Rebels it is then." Tainted replied, smiling. "We could ask the Shadow Haunters for help. They will be an important pack for us if we are to defeat the evil menace known as the Shadow Lurkers. Let's keep it in the dark while we're in neutral territory. We don't want Hydras to find out." She nodded to the pack, then walked towards the Ruins. She needed to speak with the Haunters.

The odd bunch of animals followed, along with Kahvi and Susi.

Jena nodded her head at what Tainted said.She understood,but she was still ready for battle.When they finally picked their name she smiled.The rebles wasn't such a bad name she thought.She padded after them silently when they headed toward the haunters territary.

Ruby smiled at what Tainted said to her sister.She knew what it took to fight.She liked the name they came up with,but she said nothing.Her eyes still caring the wild ight in them she padded after the others toward the Shadow Haunters territary keeping up with her sister Jena who she called Jen for short.Their old packs called them Jen and Rub for short and they were used to it.
