第 8 集: Ohu Army Crosses Alps While Hougen Pursues Escaped Hostages

8

Jerome fights the borzoi trio and Rocket fails to persuade them to join Hougen's side. He pins down Rocket as the rest of the Ohu army arrives. Weed tells him to let Rocket go. Weed gives him an ultimatum, that if they don't free his father, they will fight them fair and square. Rocket, moved by the Ohu army's determination, joins them, leaving behind his brothers. Meanwhile, in the Alps, Hook joins Hougen's army in order to help John and Gin. He gives them minerals from snow. Hiro comes near Hougen's shed, as Reika escapes Hougen and hides behind Hiro. Hiro fights Hougen's minions but Hougen takes Reika hostage again, forcing Hiro to surrender and be taken to the shed where Gin and John are kept. Weed and the Ohu army continue their journey, ignoring Rocket. When they wonder how to get more comrades to fight Hougen, Rocket says that they have to cross the Alps, where there are some dogs who don't obey Hougen. While most of the army doesn't trust him, Weed insists that he is telling the truth. Jerome leads the way to the Alps, while Ken and Kagetora are sent to Kofu to bring back their family members, who were Ohu fighters. Meanwhile, Jet and Missile are cornered by Hougen's minions and Hougen informs them that they had been spied on. His minions beat them to death while Hook and some other dogs try helping Gin, John and Hiro, who refuses at first, but when he hears that they'll rescue Reika too, agrees. Gin is unable to even stand and says that they should leave him behind, giving the mission of rescuing Reika more importance. In the high mountains of the alps, the Ohu army struggle against a snowstorm as GB suggests that Rocket has tricked them again, only to fall a second later. Weed rushes in to save him and while they are hanging from a branch, Rocket pulls them upward unexpectedly. Rocket is about to fall but is saved by Jerome. The Ohu army finally trusts Rocket completely and he becomes one of their members. In the Alps, Hougen's minions set out to find the escaped hostages and Hook gives them false directions. Hougen furiously orders his minions to find and kill John, Hiro, Reika and some other dogs that went with them. (Source: Wikipedia)
