As the fox runs from that, the blue light approaches then grows. The fox snaps, releasing a red light from itself a ferocious bright red canine creature. They communicate through a series of noises that sound like beats. The fox exhibits red noise that sounds like a bark while the big creature exhibits blue noise that sound like reverberance. The different beats resemble an argument between the two. As they begin to make noise together, the sounds combine into a yellow supernova. The two critters are tired out, the bigger creature hugs the smaller fox. Suddenly, the fox's ears briefly light up red. The two creatures notice a green bird-shaped noise coming out of nowhere. The creatures team up, creating a blue and red dragon sound. As the credits roll, the yellow supernova is seen again with various sounds as the soundtrack.
