AN: Hello again my peeps. I realize that I forgot to leave an exclamation for the Gemini R97. Now you can go back an see what it is because I fixed it. In this chapter, it will be used.
I would like to give Fire Wolf Kitsune a huge thank you for letting me use his OC Ricochet that will come in later. Thank you, Fire Wolf.
Chase's Bounty
Chapter 2
The Past
The year is 2947. Location: ArcCorp (planet), Area 18 (market center) alleyways.
Two canines named Ciber and Ghost were in the alleyways of Area 18. They were walking by a poster, only this poster had both their pictures, description, and the words "WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE."
"Well, dear. It seems they finally caught up," said Ghost as he ripped off the poster from the wall. Ghost was a wolf-dog mix with a black face and black tail with the rest of his body being dark gray. Ciber was also a wolf-dog mix with a white face and belly with a light gray back and tail.
"They have both of us, but what about our son? They don't know him yet?" Ciber snickered. "Rocky, come here son."
Rocky came out of the shadows. The one-year-old pup had a devilish smile on his face, "Yes mom?"
"I'm so proud of you for pulling the trigger on that German Shepherd yesterday," Ciber said as she patted the pup on the head.
"Thanks, mom," Rocky said as he snuggled her.
"Ya, no kidding. You got her son running for the hills. Some UEE agent he is," Ghost laughed, "Your older brother was a disgrace. He went to the UEE and nearly had us captured."
Rocky only smiled at his dad. Ciber and Ghost were well-known criminals in the UEE. They killed for a living and ditched the scene before any law enforcement arrived. Not even the UEE Advocacy's top agents could catch them. There older son thought what they were doing was wrong and ran away. He then got to the UEE and told them everything about his parents. The only problem was that Ciber and Ghost's targets could be anyone. From UEE soldiers to young children, they would kill without hesitation.
"Those stupid, idiotic UEE scoundrels think they can send some trainee pups to catch us. I laugh at it. We killed one's father and the other's mother. I don't think they will be up to the challenge," Ghost chuckled and then went into a baby voice, "They lost their parents and now don't want to work for the UEE anymore."
Another day went by, and when Ciber, Ghost, and Rocky got back to their hideout. They didn't know that they were being tracked by the very pups that they mocked the day earlier. Ciber, Ghost, and Rocky were wrong to say they were cowards. The two pups, a male German Shepherd and a female Alaskan Husky, were watching the trio from a distance. They watched until they couldn't see them, to which they called in their Anvil Hawks. The two bird-like ships landed next to them. Both pups boarded their craft and inched closer to their prey.
"Sir. We have the targets on site. What are your orders?" the shepherd asked on his ships coms.
"Well done, try and capture them alive. Lethal force is authorized if they resist and harm you," said a voice over the radio.
"10-4, we will proceed and enter."
"10-4 I have local law enforcement in route."
The shepherd and husky flew closer to where they saw the two dogs and pup vanish. Once they arrived, they exited their ships and walked slowly in. The shepherd pulled out his Kastak Arms Coda Pistol while the husky pulled out her Gemini LH-86 Pistol. The two UEE agents entered the dark and gloomy alleyway. They sneaked in without making a sound.
"Remember your training, shoot to injure," the shepherd thought in his head.
"Come on, you can do it. We are together," the husky said in her head.
Just then, three silhouettes came out of nowhere and got into the light of one of the lights in the alley. The sun of the planet was coming up as well. So the extra light would help the agents greatly.
"What are you doing here!?" Ciber asked the pups in a threatening tone.
Ghost, then saw their uniforms, "They're the pups whose parents we killed earlier this week."
"Your right-" Ciber was cut off by the shepherd.
"Ghost, Ciber, you are under arrest for 40+ homicides, evading law enforcement, and treason against the UEE."
"Hahaha!" Ciber, Ghost, and Rocky laughed at the two pups.
"I bet you don't know how to use that thing in your hands little one," Ciber chuckled.
The shepherd pointed his Coda to the right of Ciber and pulled the trigger.
BANE!
"I know very well how to use my pistol," the shepherd growled.
The trio, knowing the shepherd and husky were serious and meant business, had Rocky fall back behind them to protect him.
"I guess we are doing this the hard way," Ghost snickered. Ciber and Ghost got into an attack stance. The shepherd and husky put their pistols away and grabbed their stun batons and activated them.
"I guess so," Ciber said.
The shepherd and husky waited for the criminal dogs to make the first move. Ciber and Ghost did what they expected and attacked. What surprised the two young pups was their way of attacking. Ciber went after the husky, she was not ready for a swift attack from the aft. The only thing she could do was throw the baton, so it wouldn't be used against her.
Ciber had the husky pined within seconds and had clamped onto her neck. To Ciber's displeasure, the husky didn't scream or squirm.
The shepherd was a different story. Ghost attack just like Ciber, but in the middle of the move, the shepherd hit him hard in the head. Enough to knock most out, but Ghost was still up. He then fully charged the shepherd who then tried to dogged but was pinned just like his partner.
Now both UEE agents were pinned on their backs with their enemies clamped onto their throats. Both didn't scream or squirm.
"Wow, this was a whole lot easier than I originally thought," Ciber said with the husky's throat in her jaws.
"Now before we kill you, what are your names?" Ghost asked.
The shepherd and husky looked at each other and then back to their attackers.
"I am Chase, son of Rose. She was the German Shepherd you killed two days ago," the young shepherd said.
"I am Everest, daughter of Arthur. He was the Alaskan Husky you killed three days ago," the young husky said.
Ghost saw that Chase was reaching for something with his left front paw. Ghost, then let go of Chase's neck and grabbed his left paw. "You think you can sneak by will out me noticing?" Ghost asked as he bit hard into Chase's leg. He did so until he heard a crack and then a snap.
"MMMMMMMMMMM," Chase moaned in pain as Ghost broke his leg, "I knew you would go for it though," Chase said as he pulled out is Coda pistol and pointed it at Ghost's head.
BANE!
Ghost dropped off of Chase, dead. Chase then pointed the big pistol at Ciber's head. Took aim.
BANE!
Ciber dropped off Everest, dead. Everest pushed her body off of her and went to Chase who got up on his hunches with his left leg in the air to avoid putting pressure on it.
As Everest was running over to help Chase, she saw a young wolf-pup mix breed pup running at Chase with anger in his eyes. Acting fast Everest ran faster, grabbed Chase's stun baton that he dropped, and whacked/stunned the pup out cold. After that, she went up to Chase.
"Chase? Are you ok?" she asked softly.
"It's just a broken leg and heavy bleeding," Chase then slipped onto the ground, "Otherwise I'm fine. You are bleeding too."
"I know, I know," Everest said as she then started to look for something to stop the bleeding. As soon as she got up she fell to the ground next to Chase because of blood loss.
Just then, they both heard the sirens of the law enforcement ships and an EMS ship. "Thank you, Lord," Chase praised.
Soon enough an Apollo medical ship landed outside of the alleyway as well as ten police Avengers. The officers ran into the alleyway guns drawn with the EMTs behind them. When they got to the scene, they saw two dogs bleeding from the head and not moving, a young mix breed pup who was knocked out, and their UEE agents bleeding on the ground.
"CHASE! EVEREST!" Someone behind the officers yelled. That someone pushed through the officers with the EMTs behind him. When he got to the two pups, he got down and looked at them. Both Chase and Everest looked at him with wry smiles, "You are going to be ok."
"Thank you, Morgan," they both said as they were picked up by the EMTs and taken to the Apollo.
Present Day. Location: Katie's Pet Parlor.
"Ok, Skye, now just sit here as the dryer dries your fur," Katie said as she was programming the robot.
"Thanks, Katie," Sky said as she started to read the digital magazine.
Just then, the automatic doors opened revealing Chase and Everest.
"Hey, you two, oh and happy birthday Everest," Katie greeted.
"Thank you, Katie," Everest said as she was walking in.
"Morgan and Atlas said that we needed baths today," Chase said as he saw an open tub full of water, "Everest you go first since it is your birthday."
"I can arrange for you both to have baths at the same time," Katie offered.
"Sure! That would work," Everest said as she looked into Chase's amber eyes.
"Ok, then it will be a few."
"Ok," said the love birds.
With Atlas and Morgan. Location: UEE Dawn Bengal Class Carrier.
"Meet on the bridge," Atlas said over coms to Morgan.
"On my way," answered Morgan.
Atlas was in the huge bridge of the UEE Dawn looking out over Adventure Bay. It was a beautiful view of the town, especially when it is not covered with buildings like New York City or the planet of ArcCorp in which there is nothing but buildings. Morgan always calls ArcCorp "The UEE's Coruscant" from Star Wars.
Then Morgan came in, "You wanted me, brother?"
"I said not to call me that," said Atlas annoyed.
"Do you want me to call you little brother'?" Morgan teased.
"No."
"Fine then, don't have fun," Morgan chuckled.
"Anyway, are they setting up for Everest's birthday party down there?" Atlas asked.
"Yes? Where did you think I was for the past two hours?" Morgan said annoyed.
"Right, sorry." Atlas apologized.
"You're fine," Morgan assured his little brother who is only one year younger, "Did you get Chase and Everest's surprises ready?"
"Yes, in fact, I even installed the harpoon launchers you wanted on them too. I could have them put your harpoon launcher on your Hawk if you want?"
"Yes, please. The sooner the better," Morgan said.
"Well, let's go to the hanger and you can inspect their new U9C Hawks," Atlas suggested.
"Yep," Morgan agreed.
Morgan, Atlas, and Atlas escort made their way to the hangar. When they got there, they were met with five Anvil F7A Hornets launching out of the massive ship.
"You know Atlas. The one thing I do miss about being the director of the UEE Advocacy is that I don't get to see troops in their fighters, launching out of a carrier anymore," Morgan said as they were walking to where the three Hawks were.
"Then why do you leave?" Atlas asked.
"First, I had to because I was already it for five years. Second, I wanted to become what I am today, a Bounty Hunter. Third, I didn't get to spend the time I wanted with Chase and Everest," Morgan explained, "Plus, being a Bounty Hunter is more fun than sitting at a table."
"Well, I can't blame you on that," Atlas agreed, "Ok so all three Hawks should have the harpoon launchers installed."
"Yep, it looks like it. You can't miss them," Morgan responded
"Also, your size 2 Tempest II missiles have been installed on the new missile racks on the belly of the ship. Each rack can carry two. On the each of the outer wings, there is one missile rack of three sizes one EMP/distortion missiles," Atlas described with is notepad in hand, "The new size 3 dual barreled ballistic guns have been installed on all four hardpoints as well as the new size 2 distortion weapons on the front below the cockpit. The EMP generator is also been fixed up to your liking on all three Hawks as well. We removed the gravity generator and moved it next to the small cell and put a new medium-small ship power plant inside, so now there won't be power problems either. We also added two more small fuel tanks inside the innermost parts of the ship. Now you can be out for longer and you can make one round trip from here to the planet Hurston and back here with your quantum fuel. Your scanning abilities were amped up so you have a better knowledge of the land/planet and find your target faster. Oh boy, you wanted a lot," Atlas finished.
Morgan was walking around the Hawks, making sure that everything that Atlas was saying was on the ship, "It's a good thing that we are brothers. You know everything that I like. Plus, what did you expect? You also got to put in an account that Chase and Everest have all the same toys on their Hawks as mine, right?"
"Yep. Also, you know what I like," Atlas countered.
"For you, it would be a good ship buster railgun on the bottom of this massive carrier," Morgan stated.
"Yep."
"So, these ships will follow mine to Jake's cabin and land there, right?" Morgan questioned.
"Yep, they should," Atlas answered.
"Well then, I will go suit up and head out," Morgan said as he left to the barracks.
After a while, Morgan reappeared with his menacing looking brand new armor called the Lynx. Morgan wears it with a tan scarf and tan colored ripped cloth that hangs down his back and covers the left half of his back to his thighs. There is then a sash that goes across his body and armor so that he can carry extra magazines for his guns or sometimes even EMP and/or flash grenades. The torso part of his suit is in different shades of black and dark gray. There is metal plating around his chest and shoulders and wrists. The rest was a thick sheet of Kevlar and other metals to make it not only bulletproof but also laser proof. On his right wrist, he has a grappling hook launcher that can shoot a grappling hook up to 20 to 40 feet of long unbreakable rope-like line. Then, he has a black belt that would carry and is carrying more magazines for his weapons, and other gadgets that he uses for bounty hunting. For his legs, Morgan is wearing army green pants made out of the same material as his torso part. Then, he has armor plating from his knees down to his feet. His boots are then black and grey. His whole suit of armor is airtight for space and has small thrusters in order for him to jetpack in space. (If you want a better picture of what the suit looks like, search this on YouTube: STAR CITIZEN: Every New Armor Set Found in 3.2. Skip to the 4-minute mark of the video.) Under the cape like cloth was collapsed down his Gemini S71 Assault Rifle. On Morgan's uncovered side of his back, he has the Gemini F55 LMG. in his left leg holster is his Kastak Arms Coda Pistol, while in his right leg holster is his Gemini LH-86 Pistol. He was carrying his R97 Shotgun because he had nowhere else to put it.
"Morgan, you always give me goosebumps every time I see you in that suit," Atlas told Morgan.
"You've only seen me one other time in this new armor set. By the way, I love this armor and there is nothing in the galaxy that would make me change it," Morgan stated.
"Well, then good luck down there. Say happy birthday to Everest please, and tell her I really wanted to be there." Atlas told Morgan his message.
"Will do Atlas," Morgan said as he was putting his weapons on the weapon rack that was located on the back of his flight seat.
"Thanks, brother," Atlas chuckled the last part.
"Hey, you said you didn't like that!" Morgan announced.
"Well, I guess never mind," Atlas said.
"You're crazy," Morgan said as he was lifted into his ship.
"Ya, well, we both are," Atlas said walking away.
Morgan flew out of the Bengal carrier in his Hawk with the other two following behind him. Morgan flew down to the surface and went to Jake's cabin. When he got there, he was greeted by, Ryder, Jake, Carlos, Tracker, Rubble, Zuma, Captain Turbot, Francois, Mr. Porter, and Alex. Morgan landed his Hawk and the other two followed and folded up like his.
Morgan got out of his ship, was shown some scared faces, except Ryder of course.
"Well, Morgan. Was that where you went?" Ryder asked pointing to the UEE Dawn that was getting ready to quantum jump.
"Yepper do," Morgan said as he took off his helmet.
"What are the other two ships for?" Mr. Porter asked. He was carrying a cake that said "Happy 4th Birthday Everest."
"These ships are for both Chase and Everest. They used to have one each, but they were both blown up by the Vanduul a year ago as they were in storage," Morgan explained, "These ones, however, have been hugely modified to the point where the Vanduul or any criminal should be scared of them."
"Cool," Alex, Zuma, Rubble, and Tracker said in amazement.
"Yep, now I have to hide them. Jake, Ryder, do you guys have two very large tarps that could cover them?" Morgan asked.
"There should be two large tarps in the Ursa. I'll make sure," Ryder as he and Jake went to the Ursa.
Just then, Rocky, Marshall, and Skye rolled up. Skye in her Anvil Arrow that has been stripped of all its weapons in replaced with scanning equipment. Marshall in his Cyclone Fire Rescue (has everything his other truck in the show has, just on a Cyclone). Then Rocky in his Recycling Cyclone.
Rocky, Marshall, and Skye saw the two new Hawks next to Jake's cabin.
"Oh great, now they both have the most firepower in the town when Atlas is not here," Rocky complained.
"Maybe they are going to try and replace me and my Arrow. You know how much scanning equipment is on those things. While they also still have their full armament of weapons," Skye said in a smirking tone.
"Well then, how about we help and the sooner we do the sooner we can leave," Marshall suggested.
The three pups nodded and put on fake smiles. The only problem was, Morgan saw right through them.
AN: Well, there's that. If Rocky, Marshall, and Skye only knew.
