Back in the cave, where the Shane Gang, the Hooligang and I are in, the snowstorm is still raging on outside of the cave. "The snowstorm still rages on... How long will it end?" Trixie wonders.

"I'm not sure," Eli replies.

"Pronto is getting colder... due to the... snowstorm," Pronto complains as he shivers.

"Me... too..." I agree.

Suddenly, the snowstorm stopped at last. Everyone comes out of their shelter. "It finally stops," Eli blurts out. "Now we can find Khai and Billy-"

His sentences are soon cut off by the sound of the giant bird. Everyone is startled by that and when we look up, we are shocked to see a giant blue bird coming towards us!

Yamu and Zak are even more shock than everyone else as they know that giant blue bird: it's Articuno! Articuno lands on the icy ground and bends down its back. To everyone's surprise and relief, Khai and Billy are on its back.

They both hop off of the Legendary Bird. They thank it and it nods as a reply. The Shane Gang, the Hooligang and I come up to them. I hug Khai and am glad to see her alright. Shorty and Glasses are glad too, to see their leader alright as well. Then, we stare at Articuno in awed, seeing it for the first time.

Just then, Billy feels a nudge from Articuno. "What is it?" He asks it and Articuno lowers its head while looking at Billy. The Hooligang Leader feels very uncomfortable when it looks at him.

Then, Khai realizes what Articuno wants. She comes up to Billy and whispers into his ear. Billy pulls a surprise expression upon his face. He looks at Articuno, who is still looking at him with its red eyes. Billy slowly and gently places his right hand on Articuno's beak. He closes his eyes and so does Articuno.

"What is Billy doing?" Trixie questions.

"Shh. Don't disturb. And watch," Khai tells us softly.

A few minutes later, Billy and Articuno open their eyes. Then, Articuno suddenly flies off to the sky, leaving us in peace. "Eh... what just happened? That giant rooster just left!" Pronto blurts out.

"Hey, Billy. What did you do when you touched that thing?" Shorty asks her leader.

"I... I don't know. It's like I have some connection with that bird. As if... I bond with it," he explains.

"No way!" both Yamu and Zak exclaim in shock!

"You... you bond with Articuno!?" Yamu cannot believe it.

"No one ever bonds with Articuno before!" Zak states.

"What do you mean?" Junjie questions, feeling confused.

"According to legend, Articuno doesn't trust humans. It can bring doom to travelers who are lost in icy regions, like here in Slugterra," Khai explains.

Everyone is shocked to hear that. "But Articuno can aid travelers to safety if they have warm hearts," she added then faces Billy. "Billy, the reason why Articuno bonds with you, because you have a warm heart. Your heart is warm and Articuno senses it. That's why it wants you bond with it."

Billy is incredibly shocked to hear that. "That is impossible! Billy has a cold heart because he is a bully!" I complain angrily.

"But I have changed his cold heart into a warm heart. Most of all, Articuno saved me and Billy from the Frost Worms," Khai tells me.

Everyone is amazed to hear that. Articuno saved Khai and Billy from those Frost Worms. Khai then turns to Billy and his gang. "I will give you three a second chance to start off a new life," Khai tells them. "And remember, Billy, don't forget about your love to your beloved parents. Keep it within your heart and continue on your dream. And that your parents' souls are watching you whenever you love them."

Billy nods and understands her words. With that, we all head back to the Shane Hideout. Articuno is a few distance away from us as it watches us leaving the Frozen Depths. When we are out of its sight, it flies to the high mountains and then vanishes within the mist of fog.

A few weeks has passed since we have returned from the Frozen Depths. The Shane Gang and I are around the Shane Hideout. Trixie is on the computer, typing her reports about the first encounter of Articuno. Kord and Pronto are playing video games. Junjie and I are outside of the Shane Hideout doing Slug Fu. Khai is baking muffins for everyone, including the slugs. Everyone else is doing their things.

"Everyone! The muffins are done!" Khai calls out when she finishes baking them.

Pronto is the first to come into the kitchen and starts to eat them all up! "Pronto! Leave some muffins for the others and the slugs!" Khai stops and scolds him. Everyone takes a bite on the muffins and feels good, so do our slugs.

After we finish the muffins, we are now in the living room as we are watching the news from the television. The news tells about three slingers who have defeated a group of gangsters when they are trying to steal slugs from a store. We wonder who the three slingers are and that's when the news shows a picture of the three slingers: it's the Hooligang! The Shane Gang and I are shocked, except Khai and John. Though, the Hooligang's appearance has changed.

Billy's hair colour has changed into reddish-orange instead of blonde. His new hairstyle becomes a shoulder-length hair. He now wears a green shirt base layer, dark green hoodie jacket over his shirt base layer with still wears his bandolier which can carry 4 slug tubes, a letter G symbol pin is pinned on his right side of his hoodie jacket, gray shoulder pads on each of his shoulders, gray fingerless gloves, gray damage jeans, and gray boots.

Shorty's spiky pink hair has changed into blunt wavy long hairstyle with light pink streaks all over her pink hair. She now wears a light magenta blouse base layer, magenta cardigan over her blouse base layer, black short pants, jet black damage leggings underneath her short pants, pale blue wrist bands on both of her wrists, a necklace that has a symbol of a letter G around her neck, her bandolier is now strapped on her chest which can carry 3 slug tubes, and dark brown Western ankle boots.

Glasses is no longer wearing his helmet, which reveals his short orange hair. He replaces his red goggles into an orange square-frame glasses. He now wears a brown t-shirt base layer, light brown polo shirt underneath his t-shirt base layer, dark brown jeans with a black belt that has a buckle of a symbol letter G and 4 slug tubes, pale brown gloves, and orange boots.

The news shows us their new names as Bill, Kim and Dexter, and their team name has changed into "Genus Gang" instead of the name "Hooligang". The Shane Gang and I are speechless to see our former enemies have become good.

"You see? Billy, or now called as Bill, and his gang become good now. Give them a little more time for their new lives. Like John, Len, and Lin," Khai says.

"It's just... wow..." Eli blurts out with a still shocking expression on his face. The Shane can't believe that the Hooligang, now called Genus Gang, has become one of the good guys, all thanks to the Princess of Marinatopia. Doc smiles at Khai as he knows his former Slugslinger has turned over a new leaf.
