Summary[]
Weslie, Wolffy, and Gogoa manage to escape from the little wolf soldiers. Weslie is filled with guilt and despair, crying as he feels he has failed to protect everyone, which led to his friends turning into wolves. Gogoa asks him if he remembers where the water gun came from.
Meanwhile, the wolf-turned Bladey and Slowy are still trying to get the key. Bladey attempts to use brute force, but Slowy believes they must outsmart their opponents. While thinking of a plan, Slowy grows grass on his head. Wolnie decorates the chip remover, hoping it will cheer Wolffy up. Wilie suggests replacing the missing parts, but Wolnie worries about interfering with the invention. Wilie reveals he has found the missing piece, and they successfully assemble it to search for Wolffy. At the same time, Slowy figures out a way to get the key and escapes.
Back with Weslie, Gogoa recounts how they obtained the water gun. While figuring out how to distribute postcards, Gogoa discovers a pile of grass and mistakenly thinks it’s a simple trap. He throws a stone, accidentally triggering a more complex trap that lifts him into a cage in a tree. Weslie finds him and attempts to climb the tree to save him but fails. He then comes up with the idea of using a rope to help Gogoa climb, ultimately succeeding. Gogoa praises Weslie as the kindest, smartest, and bravest little sheep he knows. He learns that Weslie is Slowy’s student and decides to give two postcards to Slowy and the water gun to Weslie, encouraging him to protect the sheep village in the future.
Weslie finally regains his spirits, declaring he won’t give up hope. Wolffy also expresses his determination and tries to use Weslie’s water gun, but it falls into a mud pit and fails to work when he tries again. Gogoa explains that the gun is clogged, leading Weslie to wonder if the protective gun might also be clogged. Gogoa insists he has checked it many times, and it’s fine. Weslie plans to enter the gun world but falls asleep, waking up when Wolffy nudges him. Wolffy suggests they should regroup with Wolnie, as the chip remover will help once fixed.
Meanwhile, Wolnie and Wilie seem to be lost. Wolnie claims her frying pan has a connection with Wolffy and randomly points in a direction, pretending it’s reacting. Wilie follows her, unaware that Bladey and Slowy are also following, thinking they will find Wolffy. Weslie, Wolffy, and Gogoa arrive at a cave, only to find everyone missing. Wolnie and Wilie cross a log bridge, but Bladey and Slowy fall into the river. Wolnie and Wilie navigate through thorny vines while Bladey and Slowy try to cross directly, getting hurt by the thorns. Wolnie and Wilie pass safely, but Bladey and Slowy are chased by bees.
Wolnie suggests that Wolffy should be nearby, but at that moment, Bladey and Slowy jump out. Meanwhile, Wolffy calls out for Wolnie and Wilie but finds no one. Bladey and Slowy point out that a cage cannot hold them and bees are chasing them with no escape. Wolnie is knocked into a crocodile pit by Bladey and Slowy. Although she avoids the bees, she is immediately attacked by a crocodile. During the struggle, she injures her foot, and Wilie calls out for his dad, prompting Wolffy to rush over. Weslie uses the protective gun to freeze the surface of the pit, allowing Wolffy to run across it. Gogoa goes to retrieve the chip remover while Weslie rescues Slowy and Bladey. Wolffy helps Wolnie, and while he buys time, Gogoa obtains the remover and throws it to Wolffy. Wolffy successfully restores his original form and escapes with Wolnie. Wolffy decides to defeat General Wolf and retake Wolf Fortress, but he accidentally breaks the chip remover.
