Chapter 14: Game time

 

The bat, Dragon, smiled as he wandered up to Ami's room with a box of pizza, his fingers covered in paint. The black party had inspired him to do a great piece now somewhere in the downtown district three stories high. He slipped in. “Ami, I brought home a OMPH!” Ami looked up at him with tears streaming down her face and a few papers clutched in her hand. “Hun, what's wrong?” He asked setting aside the pizza and wrapping his arms around her. She shook her head and held up the papers to him. He eyed them curiously then began to read:

 

The_Giant: Ami, I'm so sorry

 

Spooky: Sorry about what?

 

The_Giant: I'm sorry. I'm such an idiot.

 

Spooky: What? What's wrong Jordan?

 

The_Giant: I told them

 

Spooky: Told what and to who? Jordan you're not making any sense.

 

The_Giant: I'm sorry. I told them where the valley is and everything. They threatened to kill my friends if I didn't.

 

Spooky: WHAT? Jordan who did you tell?

 

The_Giant: GUN. I told them everything. They said they would kill them all if I didn't do what they said.

 

Spooky: WHAT? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?

 

Spooky: We're your family! Family means a hell of a lot more than friends!

 

The_Giant: I'm sorry!

 

Spooky: Sorry doesn't cut it! You sold us out. Now everyone will know where we are and we'll be over run by BS from the outercities. Our parents will get arrested, we'll all be arrested! Do you get this? Is this getting through your fat skull? YOU SOLD OUT YOUR HOME!

 

The_Giant:…I'm so sorry. It's already done but you'll be safe I promise. They're not after you guys just the black hedgehog named Shadow.

 

Spooky: No! This isn't happening! He has a family now damn it! He's dating Ky! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?!

 

The_Giant: They promised to leave you guys alone if you just give him up!

 

Spooky: Well good luck to them. They're not gettin' past the net.

 

The_Giant:…

 

Spooky: You didn't…

 

The_Giant: I've been hacking into your comp since before this conversation started…I'm sorry

 

Spooky: YOU BASTARD!

 

Spooky: YOU CAN'T DO THIS!

 

The_Giant: Ami there is a gun to my head as we speak. I can't stop what I'm doing until they're inside or they'll kill me and go back on their word. I'm sorry okay.

 

Spooky: You can't trust GUN Jordan!

 

The_Giant: I know that now. Just do what you can to prepare

 

Spooky: I'll never forgive you for this

 

The_Giant: I wasn't expecting you to.

 

Dragon's eyes shook as he crushed the papers in his hand and looked to Ami. “The bastard had the nerve to print this shit out then fragged my computer,” she sniffed, clutching his shirt tightly. Dragon looked to the computer, the screen was off and the tower was smoking. “I couldn't stop him!”

 

“We have to warn everyone, especially Shadow,” he said, trying to stay calm for his girlfriend's sake. He hugged her close. “You stay here and try to get into the system again; I'll go tell the others.” She nodded, giving him a kiss on the cheek then ducked into her room. Dragon sighed as his heart raced. He shot out the house and flew down the street to the Ruez house with the paper's still clutched in his hand. He was about to enter the door when the lights of the hummer caught his attention. The moment José stepped out of the car he dropped down startling him.

 

“HOLY SHIT!” the red hedgehog yelled, grabbing hold of his heart. “YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!”

 

Shadow walked around the car and arched a brow, watching as Dragon stammered incoherently out of breath. He handed José the papers in his hand. The red hedgehog began to read. “What's going on?” Shadow asked moving to look at the pages.

 

José crushed the paper and ran to the front door finding it ajar. “No…” He walked in, Shadow and Dragon following and stopping dead in the living room. Across the walls, in furniture, in the floor and ceiling were gun shots, claw marks and burns of an unusual type. The coffee table was crushed, the windows broken in; even the ceiling had a gapping hole the size of a human man. The walls and floor held massive punch marks and in some places there was blood. Blood spattered across the walls and floor.

 

Shadow's heart was racing as he stepped forward, the other men no longer important to him. “Ky…” he said and began to walk through the house. He stopped in the middle of the living room looking around and suddenly lost.

 

José raced through the house calling for his siblings and stopped dead by the stairs. There his best friend lay sprawled on the stairs with his back to him. “Shit!” he said then rushed over. He wasn't sure if it was safe to move him but instead shook him. “Paco?” He heard a tiny voice obviously not the panthers and looked to the stairs. A tiny hand stuck out from under Paco. José grabbed hold of it. “Marcus? Enrique?” he called out hopping to hear them both.

 

“It's me Enrique!” the little one coughed.

 

“Oh thank god!” he sighed, smiling in relief. “Where's your brother and sister?” He moved Paco, noting that he was still breathing and laid him on his back close to the wall, he was beaten up pretty bad and deserved the rest. He pulled his brother from the hiding place and repeated his question. The little hedgehog had blood-shot eyes and was still crying as he looked at his brother. “Enrique?”

 

“They're…gone,” he sniffed wiping his eyes with his fist. “They…” He hiccupped, trying to stay calm, his little body shaking. “They took `em.”

 

“Who?” José asked growing frantic. “Who took them, Enrique? You have to tell me so I can get them back.”

 

“I don't know!” he wailed. Dragon stood in the hall and watched as brother embraced brother. He knew and Jose knew just who these people belonged to but not who they were specifically. Jose wanted revenge on only them.

 

“Tell me what they look like little brother and I promise I'll bring them back.” Enrique gulped a few times then gave a crude description of several metal hedgehogs standing taller than Paco all with red eyes, each one with a different color body. José stood, carrying his brother as he moved towards Dragon. “Call out everyone. We've got no time to waste. Send someone over to look at Paco and my brother. We need a perimeter and a full on search of the city. They couldn't have gotten far.” Dragon nodded then took off into the night. José then looked to Shadow who stared blankly at the floor. “Hey…Shadow?”

 

His voice was a far away whisper to him, the room a distant memory. He wasn't on Mobius any more much less this house. He was on ARK; a massacre of scientist and friends lay before his eyes. His heart was pounding in his chest, eyes wide. Someone's voice tried to reach him but he couldn't hear it, whoever it was. He was shaking and looked to his hands, freezing on the spot. There was blood on his hands and at his feet two dead GUN soldiers. That voice called out to him again, a flash of blonde then nothing; no sound or sight, touch or thought.

 

“SHADOW!” José yelled and reached out to shake Shadow. He lashed out and glared at him with fierce eyes. José jumped back. “What the fuck is wrong with you man?” Enrique was gone from his arms, off to watch over Paco as the two men stood alone in the living room. Shadow blinked out of his flashback of rage then calmed looking away with a hand to his face. José grew a bit concerned. “Look man, you need to pull yourself together. We need to find my brother and sister before something happens to them.”

 

Shadow nodded, eyes shifting about the room. “Right…” he said in a low tone then made towards the door.

 

“Where are you going?” Jose called after him. He grabbed his arm to pull him back and they narrowed eyes at one another. “We have to make a plan and get help.”

 

“Okay and while you're doing that I'll go find them,” he said breaking out of his grip then shot off into the night.

 

“WAIT!” José growled and looked down the hall to his remaining brother. “Fucking bastard…” He pulled out his cell and began to pace around the couch as he waited for someone to pick up. “SAN!”

 

“I'm sorry sweetie but San can't come to the phone right now,” Ally said cheerily, a muffled cry in the background. “He's a little tied up right now.” There was a commotion then Ally screamed falling off of her boyfriend's back.

 

“HELP!”

 

“Will you two stop fucking around I've got a serious problem going on!” José snapped. Ally and San hushed looking to one another then back at the phone.

 

San took the phone, composing himself bit. “What happened?” he asked, beginning to pace his cousin's guestroom.

 

“It's GUN, they have Ky and Marcus.”

 

“Shit…” He sighed running his free hand over his hair then looked to Ally seeing her worried and not even knowing the severity of it all. “Have you called the others?”

 

“Yes, the whole city should know in a few minuets. We're gathering in the field. I need everyone there. I think they're still in the city. If we get enough people looking we can find them before they…” He gulped.

 

“Yeah I understand man. I'll be there in a bit.” San hung up and moved to pull on a shirt.

 

“What's going on? What happened?” He looked back at Ally for a moment then turned away grabbing the keys to his copter. “San?”

 

“GUN's here.” She gasped. “They have Ky and her brother. I'm going to help find them.” He walked to her, placing a kiss on her forehead. “Stay here.”

 

“Like hell I am!” She hopped out of bed and stood before him. “I'm coming too!”

 

“It's too dangerous!”

 

“I don't care!” she snapped. “I'm as much family to them as you are! They need all the help they can get finding them.”

 

“But!”

 

“No buts! I'm not being left behind!”

 

San sighed, defeated then pulled her into his arms and kissed her. “God I love you.” Ally blushed, smiling then led him out of the room. Angel and Damien were already up preparing for the task at hand. In a short while they were ready and began to file into the street with the rest of the neighborhood as they made towards the field with San taking the lead.

 

Shadow's first stop before searching the city was Sonic's hotel room which was actually Rouge's penthouse apartment. He raced up the many flights and knocked urgently at the door. The moment it opened he rushed in and began to search the apartment freaking out all but Sonic who followed him.

 

“Shadow, what the hell man?” he yelled when he finally came to a stop holding up the green chaos emerald. His face showed his determination as he shot Sonic a cold look. “What are you doing with the emerald? We have to take that back to the island.”

 

Rouge had rushed in about to say something when the phone at her hip rang. Shadow grinned. “You should answer that,” he said in a voice Sonic remembered hearing. Before he could stop Shadow he was gone, Rouge having grabbed hold of his arm.

 

“He took the emerald!” he argued once she was off the phone, now moving franticly through the apartment.

 

“Let him take it,” she said, ignoring the shocked look on his face. Rouge willing letting someone take a jewel from her was unheard of. She pulled on her boots then looked towards him as the younger ones filed in around them. “GUN is in the city. They have Kylee and one of the twins. We're going to the field to help find her.”

 

Sonic was taken back by this then came to a quick realization. “But what about Shadow?” he stammered. “He'll be giving them what they want, him!”

 

Rouge rounded on him. “Did you ever for a split second think that he doesn't care what they want?” Amy gasped as Sonic's eyes widened. “He'll be fine. If anything he'll find them before us and save them. Now let's go. Everyone's waiting.”

 

The search was on. No stone went unturned or door unlocked.

 

“LET ME OUT!” Kylee shrieked as she kicked franticly at a plywood door. “LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!”

 

“God, what the hell is that little bitch yelling about,?” a GUN soldier grunted, looking over a crate as it jumped around.

 

“She says she wants out, and yes I do speak Spanish,” said the commander of the small unit as he stared at the large metal doors of the warehouse.

 

Marcus struggled against the rope restraining him and glared up at the commander. “You should let my sister out!” he said, kicking his dangling legs.

 

The commander raised the rope so that the small hedgehog was at his eye level. “And why should I do that?”

 

“She's closto…clostro…she hates small spaces.” Planks and splinters of wood flew across the room and Kylee stood in the light once more, heaving and wild-eyed. “And she's a black belt.”

 

The commander narrowed his eyes and tossed Marcus to a soldier. “Hide him.” He turned to another. “Put her to sleep.”

 

Kylee's ears perked up at her brother's yelp and she turned to glare at the commander. “You!” she growled. She took one step forward then stopped as something lodged itself into her right arm. She looked to the syringe in her arm then to the soldier holding the tranquilizer gun. “YOU SON OF A BITCH!” She removed the needle from her arm then ran towards the soldier.

 

“Dragon, report!”

 

“Nothing man.”

 

“Jordan?”

 

“Nothing.”

 

“Tweak.”

 

“I think I just spotted Shadow!”

 

“Follow him.”

 

“Ha! That's funny now tell me I have to kiss him.”

 

“JUST FOLLOW HIM!”

 

“AH JEEZ, ALRIGHT!” Damien shook his head to try to stop the coming ringing as he tried his best to pursue Shadow in his odd looking vehicle. The glow of the emerald was the only thing he could follow as he was led to the outskirts of town. “Looks like he's heading towards the warehouses.”

 

“Good,” José said moving around to the driver's side of his hummer. “Get as close as you can without being seen. I'm on my way.” He switched to a wide spread frequency. “Everyone head towards the warehouse district. I want the whole block surrounded. Ami, I want that net up as soon as possible, those bastards aren't getting away from us… Ami? AMI?!”

 

“She's gone,” Dragon said in a shaky tone.

 

“What do you mean? Where'd she go?”

 

“She's with me. A few of us are heading towards Central City to take care of someone. We'll be back.”

 

“DRAGON!” José threw off his headset and slammed his fist on the dashboard. “Those little…” He growled, started the hummer and pulled out the drive.

 

“Calm down,” Rouge said, crossing her legs. “They'll be fine. Right now we have bigger problems.” He sighed then nodded and sped towards the edge of the city with a caravan of cars behind him.

 

“Hey, José,” San yelled over the radio until the red hedgehog picked up his headset. “I'll look out for them OW. I mean we'll look out for them.” Ally giggled as she sat back in San's chopper.

 

José smiled, relieved. “Thanks San, heh, Ally.”

 

Shadow slid to a halt in the center of the warehouse district. With his eyes narrowed he scanned every building. He raced around hearing the distant roar of motorcycles and cars and grinned. “The gang's all here,” he said then suddenly stopped. His ears twitched at a faint humming noise and he looked up to the left. There, glaring down at him from a rooftop were a pair of glowing red eyes. “You again!” he growled and shot towards the roof.

 

A man swayed just barely making it to his knees. Blood ran down the side of his face from a sever cut and his left arm was about as useful as a wet noodle. As his vision reddened a sneaker came crashing down on his head. His neck crumbled with a sickening crunch and he fell to the floor once more. His companions' rage built, determined to take this girl down no matter what their commander said.

 

Kylee stood in a fighter's ring of watching soldiers in a kick boxer's stance, ready for the next attack. It had been over half an hour that this had been going on and she had yet to fatigue.

 

“Sir, I don't think this was such a good idea,” a nervous soldier said to the commander. “Six of our men are already down, four of them dead!”

 

“Sacrifices must be made,” he said in an icy voice. His eyes stayed fixed on Kylee as she bounced on the spot, her eyes as sharp as knives.

 

“But sir!”

 

“This is the only way we'll get him to come peacefully. Even with the added precautions we don't want to make that little fucker angry.” He smirked nodding somewhat towards the fight. “Besides, I didn't think she'd last this long. Maybe we'll take her too.”

 

“Come on!” the little red hedgehog growled in English to every face that glared at her. “Don't you asses have families?”

 

“We do!” a man hollered as he ran towards her with one arm drawn back ready to soc her one. She inhaled and shot forward, leapt into the air and let her foot connect with his ugly face. She didn't let him fall back as she made like his head was a step and kicked off it landing behind him as his face slammed into the floor. She grabbed the back of his neck and kicked at his spine until it broke in five places then twisted his neck to make certain he would not get back up. “So do I,” she said kicking the newest deceased to the side. Her breathing calmed as she looked over the soldiers. If she could stay standing, many more would die by her hand though that was not her original intent. The first man she killed was on accident and out of blind rage, but she quickly realized that this was the only way out, through blood shed.

 

Another soldier approached her looking barely in his twenties. He seemed confident that he could take her down with ease. Kylee watched him closely then went once again for the foot to face method but touched a hand instead as she was caught in mid air and pulled to collide with the stone floor. Her arms reached out, touched the floor first and she kicked his knee with her free foot to where it bent in the wrong direction. He collapsed to one knee screaming in pain and she bounced to her feet after being released. She got close and did a double roundhouse kick to his head then a mirage to his chest until his ribcage cracked, the bones piercing his heart and lungs. As the bodies piled up she grew stoic, reaching an eerie calm.

 

She turned her now blazing gaze to the commander at an off set angle, bangs hanging over her eyes. “The longer you hold me, the more that will die,” she said in a calm voice that sent a chill down the spines of those who could understand her.

 

The commander narrowed his eyes, standing tall with his arms folded behind him. “So be it.” He shrugged off her glare then turned to address four dark figures behind him, each with glowing red eyes. Kylee didn't growl at this but leaned back, inhaled deeply and screamed so shrilly it would wake the dead and kill them again.

 

“Why are you screaming you little bitch!” said a gruff looking soldier.

 

“Yeah, no one can hear you out here,” laughed another. Kylee tilted her head back and began to laugh insanely. She stopped, flashing a devilish grin and waved for the laughing man to come forward to receive his beating.

 

“I know he heard me,” she thought to herself as she and the soldier circled before one another. “He had too.” Her adrenaline rush would only last a little longer but it would not take more than a minuet to do away with her opponent.

 

“That's it!” one man roared and jumped on her from behind, pulling her arms back. She kicked and tried to pull herself free, disregarding the threat of dislocating both arms. Another came forward and attempted to kick her but she caught him between the legs then kicked his head up, snapping his neck. The man holding her put a foot to her back and began to pull back on her arms. She screamed bloody murder as she felt her tendons stretching away from the bone.

 

The small door to the warehouse flew across the room and a black object connected with the head of the soldier assaulting Kylee. He fell back, releasing her and she collapsed panting, not wanting to move her arms. The soldiers looked to the robotic hedgehog head that bashed the man's skull in then to the door as Shadow stepped in, a wild look in his eyes. “Let her go,” he said slowly, approaching the ring. They looked to the commander who signaled for them to leave. They reluctantly left the warehouse and took their positions outside. Shadow raced over to Kylee and held her in his arms. “You alright?” he asked giving himself a mental beating for even asking such a thing.

 

Kylee opened her eyes and smiled. “I could be worse,” she groaned then winced.

 

Clapping could be heard and they both turned their heads to glare at the commander. “How touching,” he said then put his hands behind his back again. “The reunion is over. You'll have plenty of time to catch up once we head back to HQ.”

 

“What?” Shadow said, holding Kylee close. “You only wanted me and I'll go with you just let Kylee and her brother go.” Kylee's eyes widened but she had already given into how weak her body was.

 

“There have been a change of plans. You're girlfriend is far too strong for any normal Mobian so we'll be taking her as well.”

 

“No!” he growled. The commander snapped his fingers and the four robotic hedgehogs stepped forward. The blue one, the original, held Marcus by the ropes that bound him. He was gagged and unconscious.

 

Kylee grew frantic and screamed, “MARCUS!”

 

“If you won't cooperate then I have no choice but to beat you into submission.” He waved a hand. “Units two through four, take care of him.” The commander took a step back as the hedgehogs neared Shadow who moved to place Kylee in a safe spot. “You put this on yourself you know.”

 

Shadow narrowed his eyes as he readied himself, looking between the three. One of them had to be damaged from the fight. According to José, Kylee was an excellent shot and rarely missed. They could not all be perfect. He spotted a graze on the shin plate of the hunter green one and smirked. “Let's do this,” he said then shot towards that one. The silver moved in the way, grabbed his arm and lung him into a few crates. He sat up from the rubble shaking his head. “That felt oddly familiar,” he groaned then pushed to his feet. He shot around to grab the leg of the green one. “Big mistake!' He yanked it towards him then was suddenly flying into another crate. Shadow growled after this, shot up grabbing pieces of wood then ran at the trio. He raced towards the green once more, spotting the red and silver on either side of him. He tossed the wood at them and while they were busy chopping through it he landed a hard kick into the green's face. He used him to launch towards the ceiling, kicked off it then came back down to finish the job. The red appeared on his right and used his momentum against him, sending him flying into another crate. Shadow sat up again heaving, his eyes blood red.

 

“He can certainly take a beating,” the commander said with a smirk. Silver Sonic 2 nodded then looked to Kylee as she struggled to her feet. “She won't cause any trouble. She's far too weak.” He looked down at the girl's brother, a few thoughts running through that mechanized mind.

 

Shadow sped towards the red one, eyes on fire, faked jumping and slid under it then did a spin dash into it's back sending it to the floor. This left him open as a metal foot connected with the side of his head and he was slammed into the floor. “I am getting tired of this!” he roared and reached into his pocket pulling out the glowing green emerald. He could feel the energy level in the jewel was low and his options were limited. He tightened his grip on the emerald and glared at the two mechanical hedgehogs. “I'm going to end this.”

 

“I don't think so,” said the commander. “Use that little gem of yours and unit one will kill the boy.”

 

“No!” Kylee yelled, finally at her feet.

 

Shadow narrowed his eyes on the commander then Silver Sonic 2 and Marcus. He rolled the gem in his fingers considering his options. He could save the kid but that would only be a temporary solution to their little situation. Chaos control would drain it and chaos sphere would hit the kid.

 

“He doesn't seem to be backing down,” the commander said with a smirk on his face. “Unit one, crush the boy's arms so he knows we're not joking.”

 

“NO!” Kylee screamed as she rushed forward. The commander swung his foot around and she slid back holding her stomach as she reached out for her brother. Shadow tried to move but the robots closed in on him limiting every move he could make.

 

The commander narrowed his eyes on Kylee. “Stay down girl or I'll have him break your arms too! Unit one, proceed.” There was silence. “Unit one that is an order!”

 

“Please!” Kylee coughed pulling herself forward. Silver Sonic 2 looked down at her then to the boy. “Don't hurt my brother! Please!” Tears began to stream down her face.

 

“Unit one, don't listen to her now carry out my order!” the commander growled.

 

“Please!”

 

“NOW!”

 

“…No…” Silver Sonic 2 said.

 

“What?!”

 

He turned his glowing eyes to the commander and repeated himself. “No.” He approached Kylee; kneeled before her as he untied Marcus then placed him in her arms.

 

“Thank you…” she said choking back tears as she hugged her brother.

 

The commander clenched his fists. “Units two, three and four, destroy unit one!” he roared.

 

“Not so fast!” Shadow growled as he held up the emerald. “Chaos control…” The room around him began to slow then freeze. With no time to waste he went to work dismantling the three offending robots. Half way done with the last one the emerald began to drain from his energy by his will until he was done then collapsed beside Kylee seconds before the three robots crumbled in their own heaps. He groaned and looked up into her face and smiled. “Hey gorgeous,” he sighed reaching a hand up to touch her face. Kylee smiled holding his hand.

 

“I have had enough of this,” the commander yelled and pulled forth a gun then aimed at Shadow and pulled the trigger. A loud ting rang out. The commander narrowed his eyes on Silver Sonic 2 as he stood between Shadow and him, a small dent in his left arm plate. “You!” He aimed his gun once more. “MEN!” There was no response, no shuffle of feet or cocking of weapons. “Where the hell are they?”

 

“Dead,” José said stepping into the warehouse with a GUN helmet in his hand, an UZI in the other. “We were going to let them live, after all they're just following orders, but one of them mouthed off about my sister being dead.” He poked a finger through a gun shot hole in the helmet. “I don't like liars and I hate bastards that hurt my family.” He cocked his gun and approached the commander who held his gun at him. Silver Sonic 2 took the liberty of disarming him, crushing the gun in one hand. José arched a brow at the metal hedgehog then looked to Shadow. “You keep some weird company man.”

 

“Tell me about it,” Shadow laughed, grunting once sitting up. He then looked to Kylee, his vision getting blurry now and tried to stand.

 

“Take it easy Shady,” José said, spinning around the helmet. “I've got this.” He whistled and Rouge and the others stepped in. “Get my family to the hospital. I don't want them to see what I'm going to do to this fucker.” He narrowed his eyes on the commander as he rose to his full height and readied himself for a fight.

 

Shadow looked at the commander, seeing the fear in his eyes then closed his. He was done fighting and let his body fall limp, muscles aching and mind fading as he slipped to unconsciousness. The last that he heard was Kylee's sweet voice before blacking out.

 

 

“This isn't over yet,” Ami growled over her headset, typing furiously at her laptop.

 

“What part of you guys running through a high security military facility DOESN'T SCREAM BAD IDEA?!” San yelled glaring down at his new charges as they neared the human city. He moved his chopper forward then stopped before the group. The cars screeched to a halt and Ami glared at him. “Why are you doing this?”

 

“Because we have to!” she yelled, stepping out of the car.

 

San narrowed his eyes at her. “He sold us out kid! We should let him stay to be killed. Because of him Ky and her brother are probably dead by now and who knows who else!”

 

“He still doesn't deserve to die by their hands!” The fox and cat glared at one another for a long while until San groaned and pulled up to let them pass. “Thanks.”

 

“For what? Letting you guys go off and get yourselves killed?” He watched as the group rolled on and kicked at the control panel.

 

“Calm down San,” Ally said, tinkering away with the firearms on the helicopter. “As long as we're watching over them they'll be alright.”

 

He continued to follow sticking low once they came to the outer limits of the city. “I know but once they're inside we can't help much. We can only hope they haul ass out of there.” Ally nodded then tested out the 360 range of the machinegun.

 

Ami sat back, staring at her laptop screen as she typed furiously, pulling up map after map. “We're here,” Dragon said, looking to her out of the corner of his eye.

 

“Good, what street?” she asked scanning the map.

 

Dragon looked up to the nearest street sign. “Madison Avenue.”

 

She swiveled the map around. “Okay, everyone follow us.” She looked down at her screen then up at the road. “Take the next left.” Dragon nodded and hit the turn sharp, the four cars taking his lead. Ami doubled checked the map then looked up at the street names. “Right…left…” She smirked as a glass building came into view. “We here.” Dragon narrowed his eyes, gripping the wheel. “There's a parking garage around the corner.”

 

“Are we trying to be discrete?” the green hedgehog Alex asked as he zoomed under the security bar at the entrance of the garage.

 

“Hell no, I want these bastards to know we're here so they're up when we bring `em down.”

 

Alex grinned then revved his engine till it echoed off the stone walls and sent alarms off. “WOOO!”

 

Dragon laughed, stopping before an elevator. He looked at the size of the doors then eyed one of the cars in his rearview mirror. “I think we can take these inside.”

 

“Serious?” Ami gasped then looked around. “You're right. You're so smart!” She leaned over and kissed him then slipped out of the car with her laptop. She tapped the down button on the panel and a screen flipped out. “Perfect.” She pulled out a cord from her pocket, connected it to her laptop then to a socket next to the screen. She began to type away grinning as the screen flashed. “First things first. Lights out.” She tapped the enter key and the lights were down leaving the garage pitch black. The elevator doors slid open and Ami smiled stepping inside then moved to direct Dragon's car in. “We can only go one at a time so wait up here. I'll bring the elevator back up once we have the right floor.” The doors closed and Dragon killed the engine then leaned out the window to look at Ami. She was busy typing when she noticed he was staring and turned. “What?”

 

He shook his head then sat back. “Are you sure you want to go through with this?” he asked, his ears hanging low. She paused for a moment then nodded.

 

The elevator stopped and Dragon rolled out into the dark hall and parked close. “Be ready for anything.” She said then went to the garage again to pick up the other four. When the last one was brought down Dragon was waiting outside the doors with his tagger gear on and a few cans in his hands and his belt. “What are you doing?”

 

He grinned. “Marking new territory. Should only take a moment.” He stepped into the elevator, strapped on his mask then went to work. In less than five minuets he was done and so was Ami checking out the layout of GUN headquarters. Inside the elevator was a horrible looking black demon and the words, “Fucked with the wrong furs!” over it in red. Dragon stepped out laughing like a mad man then kissed his girl. “I am a genius.”

 

“Yeah, now get your genius ass in the damn car,” Ami laughed then slipped in after him.

 

“So where to first?” David, the brown otter from the football game asked.

 

Dragon tossed him a spray-paint can as well as the others then pulled his car out front. “First let's fuck up these halls!” he howled. The group joined in on the noise, alerting the attention of any human within range.

 

Engines revved and tires squealed as the quartet sped down the halls, their passengers taking their paint to the walls. Scientists and solders would take to the halls then jump back through doors setting off alarms. “WHOOO! Let `em come!” Ami yelled. She began to hack into the surveillance system and linked it to the map of the facility. “Take the next right. He should be in the room at the end of this hall.”

 

“Got it.” He hugged the corner, ditching the empty can then looked ahead. “Breaking down the door?” Ami nodded. “Sweet!” Dragon floored it then slammed on the breaks, skidding to a halt at the last minuet so the car knocked the door off the hinges. The group of liberators hopped out of their cars and surrounded the door with weapons held up.

 

Ami stepped out of the car and stepped into the dark room. “We're here for the half breed,” she said.

 

“And possibly some neat stuff,” Alex added.

 

“Shut up stupid!” Ami hissed then turned back around. She shook her head, flipped open her lap top then type a few times. The lights came on and a storage room was put in view, Jordan the half fox human sat tied to a chair, his head hung low. Ami growled, ran up to him and slapped him.

 

Jordan's head shot up and he began to scream, “I TOLD YOU EVERYTHING I KNOW!” He blinked not seeing anyone standing over him then looked ahead to a pair of yellow eyes. “…oh crap.” He began to struggle against the ropes holding him.

 

“Hold still you ass hole!” Ami huffed then moved to untie him.

 

“What, you're not going to beat the hell out of me then kill me?” he asked, rubbing his arms and wrists once they were free.

 

“We can wait until we get home for that.”

 

“Home? Are you serious?” he asked, eyes wide as he picked up Ami. She gave him a look and he understood setting her back down. He followed her to the cars and groaned some. “Hate these damn things.

 

“Are you going to complain or get in?”

 

“I'm going, I'm going but first if it's not that big of a problem can we”

 

“WE ARE NOT TAKING THE HUMAN KIDS!” Ami screamed.

 

Jordan narrowed his eyes as the group shot around to turn gunfire to the soldiers filing into the hall. “You forget I'm human too.”

 

“You're also an idiot!”

 

“Guys, can we wrap this up already?” Dragon yelled over his shoulder.

 

Ami glared at Jordan then sighed. “Okay.” The fox howled and hugged her tightly. “LET GO AND GET IN THE DAMN CAR!” she shrieked hitting him to get free. He slipped into the back seat of Dragon's car feeling a bit cramped.

 

Dragon ducked in after shooting off a round and turned the car sharply. “Where to?” he asked revving his engine as troops began to close in.

 

“Take a right at the end of this hall,” Jordan said picking up a gun and arching a brow at the rest that sat around him. “You guys came packing!”

 

“Less talking more shooting!” Dragon said as he took the right. “Where next?”

 

“Take a left at the end of this hall and just keep going straight. There should be a work shop at the end.” Jordan did the best he could at leaning out the window and shot behind them at surveillance cameras and security weapons dropping down from the ceiling. Dragon took the final turn causing Jordan to smack his head into the car. “GEEBUS! Who talk you how to drive?”

 

“You!” Dragon said laughing. Jordan grumbled rubbing his head and watched as they crashed through the lab door. The teens inside scattered and grabbed every odd looking weapon they created, aiming at the cars.

 

“WHOA!” Jordan said climbing out the car with his hands up. “Easy guys, these are my friends from back home.” Jamie eyed the group and the hostile one following then lowered her weapon.

 

“Jordan, what's going on?” she asked as the others ran around to reinforce the now broken doors.

 

“We're leaving,” he said looking to Ami who crossed her arms. “All of us.”

 

“Ah, sweet!” Jake yelled jumping around.

 

“What?!” Jamie snapped. Jake stopped smiling and slipped behind Mark.

 

Jordan sighed and began to drag her towards the car. “There's no time to explain, it's just become very dangerous for us to be here.”

 

Ami rolled her eyes. “Can we hurry up and go already!?” she yelled.

 

Jamie stopped and looked around to the guys who were already packing the essentials. She sighed and looked to Jordan. “At least let us take our wheels instead.” He smiled and followed her to the connecting garage.

 

Else where above the skis of GUN headquarters, gunshots rang out into the night sky. “SAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” Ally yelled with her hands over her ears.

 

He stopped laughing and pointed down. “Leaving my mark,” he said, beaming.

 

Ally looked down at GUN building and smiled. “San loves Ally,” she awed then jumped on him.

 

“Uh, sweetie, we're loosing altitude!” he said trying to regain control of the chopper. She gasped and let him go then gave him a quick kiss. He smiled. “Much better.” He blinked and looked around for a moment. “Do you hear that?”

 

“Hear what?”

 

San looked past Ally and his left eye twitched. “Buckle up cause we've got company!” He jerked the controls back and began to climb as three GUN choppers followed behind them Ally braced herself and when she could balance herself made to the guns.

 

“I can't get a shot, we have to turn around,” She said swiveling the little station around. San was busy as they shot across the city trying to stay out of range of enemy firepower. He shot pass a possible hiding spot and took the next turn to come around to enter it on the other side. The alley way was too small for the GUN choppers to follow and they pulled up to wait on the other side for them to exit. San shooting up through the buildings then came down on the choppers. Ally smirked and swung around to take out one of the copters then watch it crash into the one below it. “Man that was too easy.”

 

“Yeah,” San said grinning as he kicked back. He heard another set of chopper blades and cursed and pulled then down towards the street and shot across it. “Forgot about the other one. Hold on Ally!” He darted across the street back towards GUN HQ, going into barrel rolls. “I can't shake him!”

 

“San…ro…ROCKETS!” Ally screamed.

 

“SHIT!” He jerked the copter to the right, barely evading the rockets as the blew up part of GUN's lawn. “That was too close.” He narrowed his eyes and turned back around and made towards the enemy. “I'm done playing this stupid game,” he growled and seems ready to ram the other. It shot up and he followed. “Ally.”

 

“I'm on it.” She waited as the system locked on and fired the largest rocket they had on board, scribed on the front in red paint “This'll hurt!”. San pulled back in time as the chopper exploded and made back to HQ.

 

“Hey kid's fun time is over,” he said over the radio. “It's time to go home.” He looked down and saw a caravan of vehicles shoot onto the street led by what looked like a tank with four-wheel drive and a motorcycle towards the back. San arched a brow at the other additions to the group and shook his head. “What did I tell you about bringing home strays?” he laughed and followed them out of the city.

 

“Aw, come on,” Dragon whined. “We promise to take care of them.” The rest of the group on radio laughed and floored it once they reached the outskirts of the city.

 

San shook his head. “José isn't going to like this.”

 

“Oh he'll get over it,” Ally said smiling then kissed him on the cheek.

 

Did you really think I would end a story like that? No I didn't think so either. Thanks to Daniel Renard and his lovely girlfriend for letting me use their characters. The conclusion is coming soon people and I know you're excited. So am I. The final chapter will mark the beginning of my senior year. And since I started this fic when I was in the 6th grade it really means a lot to me. Finishing this means I'll pay more attention to the other fics which I hope you all will read. ;). Well it's like 2am right now and I've got to get some sleep. Review please.
