Silver Lining

"Come on just got to keep running!" Silver thought frantically ducking down into an alleyway.

"Get back here, Shadowing!" Inspector Aoi shouted dashing towards the thief, her partner Chi following closely behind her.

"You got it ready yet, Ty?" Silver asked his friend through the communicator attached to his ear.

Ready when you are, Silver!" Ty shouted excitedly making Silver wince.

Silver kept up his running pace until he saw the signature red and black van come into view. The van doors opened and Silver quickly jumped in.

"Nice of you to drop in, Silver." Owl said looking down at the thief whom collapsed on the floor of the van.

"very funny, four eyes." Silver told his friend.

"Do you have the artifact?" Owl asked his silver haired friend.

"Right here." Silver told him pulling out a hand sized red jewel.

"Perfect, there is a legend stating that this jewel along with you shadow staff, should open the door to other worlds."

Silver glanced down at the staff he always carried around, noticing that the blue gem on top of it was beginning to glow.

"Umm guys we have a problem!" Ty told them stopping the van.

In front of the van were police helicopters, cars, and barricades all of it too much for the van to make it through. Looking behind them it was the same, they were surrounded.

"Great this day is turning out to be the best ever." Silver stated sarcastically.

There was two thumps on the roof top of the van, indicating that inspector Aoi and Chi had caught up to them.

"Guys what are we going to do?" Owl asked nervously.

"I have no idea; it looks like we are done for." Ty answered

Silver was barely paying attention to them as he was noticing the glow on his staff got brighter and the red jewel in his hand was also beginning to shine brightly. Before anything could happen the two glows engulfed the entire van with everyone in it and on top of it. The light suddenly stopped and the van, the gang, inspector Aoi and Chi were gone, leaving behind a very confused police force.

After the van landed in who knows where, the gang got out and Silver turned to his friends to talk to him but just stopped dead and stared with a very confused look on his face. His friends had now somehow turned into animals! Owl was now literally an owl, a barn owl from the looks of it; his feathers were dark blue and were the same color his hair had been. He still wore his large round glasses over his blue eyes he just looked more silly now. Ty had been changed into a blond Tiger with black stripes; he stood on his hind legs rather than all fours.

"What the heck happened to you two?" Silver asked in shock.

"Umm Silver, we aren't the only ones." Owl stated looking in the back of the van before pulling out a mirror.

Silver took the mirror only to jump back in shock when instead of a human, there was a silver haired, red eyed, raccoon staring at him. Silver looked down and noticed he was still wearing his white shirt, black vest, black pants, black and white boots, black cap, and black gloves. He just now had a silver and black ringtail sticking out behind him and his arms were covered in silver fur.

"Okay let me rephrase my question, what happened to us?"

Before anybody could answer a black figure, shot down the alleyway they were in and nearly bumped into Silver. The figure quickly called out a sorry before disappearing behind the corner.

"What was that about?" Ty asked.

Soon the sound of police sirens and speeding cars filled the air, all coming towards the gang.

"I suggest we leave." Silver told them quickly jumping in the van followed by Ty and Owl.

Racing out of there, they decided to set up a base before doing anything else, they needed to get their location and come up with a plan.
