A/N: I am deciding to continue this a little longer. The way this chapter turned corners halfway through, I changed my mind about making this the last.

Anyways, I'm hitting a little bit of a writer's block for Chapter Five of ACiD. Mainly because I'm focusing it on Talon's thoughts and motives, instead of Penny's like in the first four chapters. He's basically contemplating his feelings towards Penny now, and the subject of him murdering someone will be brought up in the chapter as well.

I don't think I'm gonna make him kill anyone, but you never know. :)

If he does murder someone, though, I'll have to call off on a sequel to ACiD. If he doesn't, then there'll most likely be a second FanFic to follow up on Talon and Penny.

Anywho, this chapter had got some Talenny near the end, and it switches PoV's halfway through because Talon dies...


I smirked triumphantly behind Pretty Penny's back as I pulled my hands free from the strawberry-flavored gum that she shot me with, like it was water. I was getting better at tricking her. After all, I learnt from the best (her).

But I put my triumph aside, because she was after somebody else now.

"Uncle Claw, watch out!" I called out to him. Penny turned around; her eyes widening when she saw that my hands were free.

A growl came from Penny before she sprinted towards me, pinning me down against the pathway grounds of the zoo. Either I'm just a noodle-armed agent, or she's ten times stronger than me!

I looked across from Penny; my Uncle Claw was pointing the new gun that Professor Quimby had finished perfecting last night.

It was a different type of gun. It is unable to kill or hurt someone, and instead, the bullet discharged from the gun bursts into powder when it hits the skin...causing the victim to become insanely worried and distressed!

Basically, they go insane for a few short minutes before passing out.

But it is harmless to everyone; human or animal. No side effects come or go with this gun, so I wasn't worried about Penny's well-being if my Uncle Claw managed to hit her.

Only downfall about this that I could call out...I may never fight Penny again after she passes out. She'll be locked up behind HQ's bars.

I shrugged off my thoughts as I knew I had to distract Penny so she wouldn't notice the gun.

And...I'm too late.

She glared at the gun, and just as my Uncle C fired, she brought out her MADex and the bullet bounced off of it.

Hitting my Uncle!

I watched in horror as he went insane, blabbing every single thing that worried him or made him extremely upset. MADcat ran off, meowing and hissing in fear until I could no longer see or hear her.

I was in such horror, that I didn't realize that Penny had pinned me and was running to grab the gun.

I got up off the ground quickly, but that was a mistake.

Penny shot me in an instant and I only remembered saying her name over and over again until I blacked out…

Penny's PoV

I stood over Talon as I felt my cheeks turn to a dark red. What was this gun really doing? I shot him in the arm, hoping to draw some blood and show him that he should never mess with me, but…now he's yelling out random sentences…

And I'm mentioned in every single one!

He was saying something along the lines of…

"Penny knows my secrets!"

"She's gonna use them against me!"

"Penny doesn't love me!"

"I can't tell Penny I love her!"

Everything I heard made me want to black out as well, just like Talon had done so.

I smirked as an evil idea came to mind. I'd deal with what Talon blabbed later.

Right now, I needed to take some hostages...
