The enemy revealed

At the chemical plant, there were several masked figures loading heavy drums into the same van that had been used to abduct Runt and Rita. The chemical plant was an ACME plant that dealt with all known chemicals. Everybody inside was being held hostage by half of the men while the other half were loading the van. The helicopter that Runt and Rita were transported away in was also there, but Runt and Rita were no longer on board. They had been unloaded somewhere, but only the criminals knew where they were. The drums that were being loaded in the van were labelled 'Turpentine', Acetone' and 'Benzene', the ingredients for the dip. Inside the helicopter, the boss of the whole operation was sitting on one of the chairs with a smug look on his face. He was just overseeing the whole operation. As well as the van that was used in Runt and Rita's kidnapping, there were two other vans that looked identical to the first one. These were also being loaded with the same three deadly chemicals. Each of the men was loading each drum with extreme care so as not to spill any of the chemicals, even though that the lids were tightly sealed.

"Keep on loading guys. There's no telling when the meddlers will arrive!" The boss snapped.

"Don't worry boss, this is the last drum." One of his minions replied as he and two others were loading one more drum into the final van. Once it was in, the vans were all sealed. It was about this time that the Fangmobile arrived on the scene. The boss saw the vehicle and eyed it suspiciously, as was everybody else in the area.

"Is that?" One began to ask.

"I hope not…" Another continued. The smile on the boss' lips widened.

"It's Showtime." The boss muttered. As on cue, the Fangmobile opened and FoxFang, Cub and King leapt out of the vehicle.

"Take them out boys!" The leader shouted. After the leader spoke, the helicopter door closed and it lifted off the ground, but stayed in the area as to watch over the fight. All of the people in the area began to slowly approach the Fangmobile.

"You'll be going nowhere Foxes." One of them said.

"We weren't intending to go anywhere without taking all of you out first." Cub replied. He leapt into the air and then threw several Fang darts at the criminals, stunning them all in pain. FoxFang looked up and noticed that the helicopter was slowly lifting higher and higher into the air.

"Cub, I'm going after the leader. I'm leaving you to round up here." FoxFang said before aiming her grapple hook at the helicopter. The hook caught onto the landing rail and she then pulled herself towards the helicopter and then hung on as the helicopter flew away. Cub and King remained on the ground. Cub looked at the people he had to fight. There were at least 10 but he had taken out larger groups with FoxFang's help. So this shouldn't be too hard to accomplish. Some of the enemies were still stunned by the Fang dart barrage from earlier. He leap into the air and landed on a thug's head, finishing off with a midair roundhouse kick to floor him. 3 others then tried to tackle him. He simply jumped and allowed the three to crash into each other and knock themselves out. This left 6 left to fight.

"King, attack!" Cub instructed. King raced forwards and bit one of them by the ankles. Cub followed up by leaping towards the one that King had bitten and hitting him with an uppercut, knocking him out. The five remaining then all pulled out sub-machine guns. Cub leapt into the air and threw a Fangmerang. The Fangmerang flew in a circle, knocked the guns out of everybody's hands and then returned to Cub's hand. Half of the criminals' jaws dropped in awe, giving Cub a crucial chance to hit everybody with repeated punches and kicks. Unfortunately, the few that he had knocked out before had recovered and then tackled Cub from behind and pinned him down.

"You guys go and prepare our escape. We'll buy you some time." One of them shouted to three others. They immediately obeyed and raced to the vans. Cub found himself pinned to the ground by about three of the people he had been fighting before. However, he did have a way to escape

"King, attack!" King leapt at the thugs pinning Cub and bit them all at the ankles, forcing them off of Cub. They quickly recovered from the bites and ran towards the vans, climbing into them before Cub could reach them. The vans then sped off at high speed, but Cub was able to throw a tracker onto one of the vans. At the same time, he noticed the tracker that OxHorn had thrown earlier.

"Well, we weren't able to stop them, but we can now find out where they're hiding out." Cub said to himself as he watched the vans disappear from sight. He then leapt back into the Fangmobile, with King following. Once inside, he turned on a tracker to pinpoint the location of FoxFang, so he could lend some assistance.

"Now to find FoxFang."


FoxFang herself was still clinging onto the bottom of the helicopter. At the same time, she was climbing towards the door so she could climb inside. Her intention was to hijack the helicopter, take out everybody inside and deliver the helicopter, complete with captives, to the police. This would be easier safe than done, since the helicopter wasn't built for her and Cub like the Foxchopper was, but she knew that it could be done because Cub had done it before. She had made it to the door and was using a Fang dart to try and prize the door open. The people inside seemed oblivious to her presence, which made things easier for her. She ended up placing her head on the door in order to make it easier for her to hang on. As a result, she was able to overhear a conversation going on inside the helicopter.

"Boss, do you think that the foxes are out of our way?" Somebody asked.

"I doubt it. He's very tricky. You don't know where he'll appear." The boss replied.

"What do we do if he shows up again?"

"If he does, he can be a witness of the execution of our two captives." After hearing this, FoxFang began trying even harder to prize the door to the Helicopter open. Whoever was behind this had captives and was intending to execute them, no doubt by dropping them in the dip when it was ready.

"That is, unless a ransom is paid." The leader then added.

"When will you demand the ransom?"

"Tomorrow. $2,000,000 to save the city, an extra $4,000,000 to spare the two captives."

"How long will it take to develop enough of the substance?"

"At our facility, I'd estimate about a week. The town will have enough time to make the decision."

"It also gives the foxes enough time to track us down."

"Let him. If my hunch is correct, the knight toon and his companion can and will be destroyed by the dip. That will add another layer of terror on the city."

"Kill the Knight toons. We'll be famous if we did that!"

"Yes, and I will have my revenge for what happened the first time I met, just over 1 year ago." Fox Fang had heard enough to figure out the identity of the enemy behind the whole thing. It wasn't a person that she was expecting to pull a stunt like this. She had already figured out how he had gotten out, but now the task at hand was getting him back behind bars and rescuing the people he had captive without killing them in the first place. She put all of her strength in opening the helicopter door and spoiling the party for everybody.


After exerting all of her strength, FoxFang was able to open the door to the helicopter. Once the door was open, she forced herself inside and armed a Fangmerang, ready for any form of attack. The way she entered the helicopter closed the door at the same time, preventing anyone from escaping. Everybody in the helicopter turned around when they heard the door open and close. It was then that they realised that FoxFang had gained access to the helicopter. There were about 5 people there, including the leader of the group and the pilot of the helicopter. FoxFang immediately recognised the people that were in front of her. They were Rob, Lucius, Lupus and Winston, four of the wolves that se had defeated in her battle one year ago in order to save her parents. FoxFang was also able to recognise the helicopter pilot. It was Max, another wolf from the same incident.

"It the Fox!" Winston said

"How did he get into the helicopter at this height?" Lupus asked.

"It doesn't matter. Get him!" Lucius ordered. Lupus, Lucius and Winston drew their guns and aimed at FoxFang. The pilot continued flying the helicopter while the leader just sat there.

"Sorry that I have to crash the party fellas." FoxFang greeted.

"You won't be crashing any party fox!" Lupus scolded.

"Big words from a person that I trashed before."

"Lower your weapons." The leader said in a very cool tone. His men obeyed his instruction and lowered their weapons.

The leader then stood up from his seat and walked into the light. This allowed FoxFang's suspicions of the leader's identity to be confirmed; Caesar Feralo.

"So FoxFang, we meet again!" Caesar greeted.

"I never thought that I'd see your face again!" FoxFang scoffed.

"You certainly have changed since we last met. The first time that we met, you were a stealth artist."

"I still am. Be honest, did you know that I was clinging onto the helicopter all this time?" Caesar began to hesitate for a moment. FoxFang had put him on the spotlight. Caesar had no idea that FoxFang was on the helicopter all this time. In his mind, it explained an awful lot.

"Well… no. No I didn't."

"Just like you didn't know that I was wiping your men out the first time we met."

"That was a different situation. Last time I underestimated you and you caught me off guard. This time, I expected you to be coming. The question was when."

"I see that you're learning." Caesar scoffed a little. He then raised a hand. Everybody else stood up and pulled on some nearby backpacks, including Caesar.

"Now if you'll excuse us, we've got a formula to make up."

"I'm not letting you go anywhere!" FoxFang prepared to throw the Fangmerang that she had in her hand. Everybody stopped moving while Caesar took out a radio link.

"FoxFang, I have hostages at our base. All I have to do is send the order and I can kill them!" Caesar threatened.

"You wouldn't dare!" FoxFang scolded.

"I would dare. And correct me if I'm wrong, the superhero code says that saving civilians is more important than catching criminals. If my other men find out that I have been captured, the two that I have will be executed immediately!" FoxFang let out a growl in annoyance. Caesar was right, civilian lives came first. Even so, there was no way for Caesar to escape the helicopter, at least she thought. Caesar and his men stood a few feet away from FoxFang and in a clear area in front of her. Caesar then grabbed hold of a nearby lever on the side of the helicopter.

"I'll leave you to figure out how to get out of this." Caesar said with an evil smile. He pulled the lever and the floor beneath them opened, allowing them to fall out of the helicopter. FoxFang looked down and saw them deploy parachutes, which allowed them to float back down to the ground safely. She then felt the helicopter lurch violently. It was falling into a nose dive. FoxFang looked out of the front and saw that at the current trajectory, the helicopter was going to crash into the automated power plant that powered the city, unless she could do something about it.
