Happy Tree Friends Remedy
Chapter 1:You'll Be The Death Of Me
Disclaimer: I don't own HTF Mondo Media does. However, my OC's (ex: Xavier, Leon, Remy) are mine.
"WHAT!? " screamed Chairman Xavier. His face was flushed as he peered darts into one of his associates, Leon.
"But sir," Leon fumbled to come up with a proper sentence.
"But sir nothing you pathetic excuse for a living creature. This is the 4th time Remy has escaped . The last thing we need right now is a highly trained assassin loose on the streets." Xavier rubbed his temples before speaking shortly thereafter. "You have ONE last chance to capture Remy and redeem your sorry self, before I blast your head off with a shotgun."
Leon stood there, petrified.
"Well, why are you still here? GET OUT OF MY SIGHT YOU PATHETIC WORM!"
The wolf scampered out the door.
-Edge of the Happy Tree Forest-
Remedy "Remy" Hale sat in the backseat of taxi and toyed with the black spiked collar that surrounded his orange neck. The fox had completely changed his look from when he left the Mercy Labs. Funny thing is, there is no mercy in those labs. Remy wasn't even sure if he was a actual fox, or a machine. He had feelings, so he prayed that was enough to separate him from a machine.
Remy laid his head on the back of the seat. He figured that he had a couple of minutes until he arrive at the town. He had no clue about what was in this town, who lived in it, or what has happened in it, more or less.
-Happy Tree Town-
The cab driver stopped literally two feet away from the town's border.
"Sorry buddy this is as far as I go."
Remy raised an eyebrow.
"Um…Ok. How much is this gonna cost?" Remy said fumbling through his pockets for money to cough up to the cab driver.
"Nothing."
Remy looked at the man as if he was mentally unstable, or just straight up insane. The drive had been at least two hours and all at no cost?
"Why?"
"Cause if you got enough guts to go in there, money needs to be the last thing on your mind."
"Whatta mean?"
"Uh..it's…um…it's nothing kid. Just hurry up. This place gives me the creeps."
'Give you the creeps? That's stupid. Well, this is coming from the guy who gave me a free two hour cab ride. Whatever.' Remy thought
Remy grabbed his bag and disembarked from the cab.
The cab pulled out and raced in the opposite direction. Remy sighed before deciding that if wanted to live here, he would need to get his bearings. He stepped forward pasted the border. A sudden cold wind blew over him. He ignored the wind and pressed on toward the town.
Remy walked up to a house formed out of a hollow tree. It looked, small, but cozy nonetheless. No matter what he thought of it, it was home for now. He walked in and set his bag down.
'Might as well take a walk around the town so that way I'm not so lost.'
He grabbed the key on the table near the door and turned to leave. Out of pure instinct he grabbed his bowie knife from within his bag. He sheathed it, clipped it on his belt and walked outside, locking the door behind him.
The neighborhood seemed to be rather normal compared to how the cab driver made it out to be. There was a park down the street, so he walked toward it. Once he arrived he looked around the park. He noticed the wide variety of animal playing various games. He walked over to a bench and sat down. He looked to his left to see a green bear talking to a yellow rabbit wearing pink bunny slippers. Sounds like something ripped right out a fairytale. He walked over to the bear to ask some questions, like where the supermarket was.
"Um excuse me, sir."
The bear turned around and looked at him in surprise.
"Hey, 'bout time someone new came along."
Everyone's head turn to the unfamiliar fox.
The bear extended his hand. "I'm Flippy."
"Remy." he said shaking Flippy's hand. "Hey do know were the store is around here."
Flippy didn't respond. He seemed to be staring into space.
"Hello?" Remy said waving his hand in front of his face.
Everyone backed up a little forming a circle around them. Remy traced Flippy's eyes. He was staring at…
his spiked collar.
Flippy eyes began turning a different color and his teeth had begun to look more menacing. He suddenly punched him hard in the gut. Remy coughed and looked back up at Flippy as he charged at him. Remy rolled out of the way and let Flippy pass by him. The psychotic bear grabbed a bar off the slide. He tossed it in Remy's direction. He preformed a backwards handspring, allowing the bar to harmlessly fly over him. Remy recovered and drew his bowie knife. Flippy drew one of his own. He rushed at him. Remy easily dodged it and counterattacked by bring his leg to the back of Flippy's head, sending him right into the ground. Flippy got up and begun recklessly swinging his knife back and forth. Remy blocked each attack with his knife before putting his foot into Flippy's stomach. Using his stomach as leverage, he brought his foot to Flippy's head. While Remy preformed a back flip and landed it Flippy landed face first into the ground.
(A/N Mortal Kombat fans will recognize this attack as Sindel's "heel to the gut.")
As a desperate attack Flippy tossed his knife at Remy's head. He dodged it and grabbed the knife right out of the air. He turned around and tossed it right back at him. Flippy wasn't as lucky and he was impaled by it, however, he didn't die. He removed the knife from his shoulder and once more, charged at Remy. Remy picked up the discarded bar from before and brought it to Flippy's head. Flippy fell to the ground, this time he didn't get up. Remy watched as Flippy's features turned back to what they looked like before the fight.
Remy moved over to Flippy and checked his pulse. Remy turned around and reassured the crowd.
"He's fine."
Remy went to leave when he heard the sound of metal creaking. He turned around to see the slide beginning to fall. Apparently Flippy had removed one of the main supports and it was gonna crush a blue skunk. Not if Remy could help it. He ran toward her and grabbed her by the waist. Remy brought his feet out from under him causing the skunk to do the same. Together they slid under the slide as it fell to one side. As they recovered the skunk hugged Remy so hard he nearly suffocated.
"Thank you thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU!!"
"Your…wel…come." Remy choked out.
The skunk released her death grip on the fox. "Who are you?"
"Remedy Hale, but call me Remy."
"Petunia, nice to meet you."
"Likewise. Hey do you think you could show me around town. I don't even know this place and people are already trying to kill me."
Petunia took his hand.
"Of course I'll show around."
Leon watched from a distance as the blue skunk and Remy walked away. He backed away from his hiding place. He turned to his team.
"I'm leaving him to you, Agony."
