Author's note: well still writing on computer. Seems to work out better for me. Enjoy.
Chapter 10: Aftermath.
Diamond's eyes slowly opened her vision blurry. She looked around and realized she was in a bed. Where am I, she wondered. She tried to sit up then winced as a burst of pain came from her stomach. "Ugh. That fox is going to pay for this." "Nice to see you're awake," a voice rang out. A vole stepped out of the shadows in the corner. "I am Dr. Vivance," he said holding out his hand. Diamond painfully took his hand and shook it. "You got stabbed directly in the center of your abdomen. As I see it your lucky it didn't pierce your sternum, or anything else," Dr. Vivance said looking at his clipboard. "You also had a stab wound on your upper leg, which pierced downwards into the knee. I suggest not walking on it for the next few days." Diamond just shifted her gaze to the floor. "Other than that you're pretty much good to go." Diamond merely nodded, her vision clouding. She felt tears forming in her eyes. Her pride had been shattered when that fox defeated her. And what he had said to her before finishing it. You and Ty would've been so good together. Diamond's fist clenched in anger. She WOULD kill that fox.
She hadn't even noticed the doctor had left. She heard the door open and she looked up as Zach walked in. His arm was in a sling and she could tell his pride was badly broken. Zach and Shahn always were prideful. Zach avoided her gaze keeping his eyes to the floor. "I'm sorry Diamond. Because of me and my arrogance Jewel almost died, Ace is in a coma, you're badly hurt, and they got away." Diamond snorted. "I don't see how it's your fault they knew we were coming," she said. Zach did nothing, but shook his head. "Well, you no longer have to work on star falco. It's your choice if you still want to though."
Diamond looked at the ground, thoughts racing through her head. The odds were those two foxes left Kew. "Who were they?" Diamond asked raising her head. "The orange and white one I believe is James Mcclue," Zach said thinking a bit. "The black one is Void." Diamond tensed a bit. Void? This guy was obviously evil, but something about him seemed so familiar. Diamond looked at the blue avian leaning against the wall. "I think it would be best if I left the team," she said, standing up. Zach nodded and prepared to leave the room. "I'll go get Rus to pack your stuff," he said closing the door behind him. Diamond sighed. She wondered how furious General Salt was right now. She also wondered where those two foxes were. She walked towards the door, opened it, and left the room never looking back.

Mark watched the ship the foxes were in carefully. There was no way he would let them escape. He just couldn't allow it. Team, or no team he was going to kill them. He followed slowly, his wolfen in complete stealth mode. (The new model of wolfen can do that thanks to yours truly) Mark jumped when Justin's voice came over his comm. "What do you think you're doing Mark? You can't take them on alone." Mark growled. "Shut up Caruso!" he hissed. "Do you want them to find me? I've got this all figured out. Just trust me and we'll have the bounty in no time." Mark shut off the comm. He smirked and thought about the feeling of satisfaction that would come with the black fox's death. This was going to be fun.
….
Diamond's arwing sped through space hot on Mark's trail. Thanks to Justin she managed to track the signal of their conversation and follow him. She almost smiled when she saw the ship come in sight, but no sign of Mark's wolfen. Then she realized he must've been in stealth mode. Suddenly a voice came on her comm. "What are you doing here? Get away now! This is my job," Mark said quietly. "Sorry wolf, but I have a bone to pick with Void," Diamond said smiling as she shot a fully charged blast into the hinges of the ship's loading bay. It opened just enough for an arwing to slip through. Suddenly the ship shot a blast at the arwing, hitting it on its top. Diamond's smile widened as warning lights started flashing.
She managed to maneuver her ship just outside the crack of the door losing a wing in the process. She put on her helmet and hit the eject button just as the arwing smashed into the ship. Diamond landed inside, rolling and sliding. She got up and gasped as she saw Void standing in a corner watching her. "What a lovely surprise. A guest has come to visit us," he said smirking. Diamond stood up and drew her staff, wincing at the pain from her leg. "It's time for a rematch!" She said extending the staff to its full length. "If that's what you want," Void said stepping out of the shadows.
Just then Mark's wolfen flew through the door and slid before coming to a stop at the wall. Mark jumped out, shooting something at Void. Void's eyes widened in surprise as a dart stuck out of his shoulder. He staggered backwards before going down on one knee. "Got you," Mark said, smiling. Diamond took action, spinning around to face mark and shooting an orange blast at him. Mark barely had time to react before the blast hit him in the chest sending him crashing into his wolfen and falling onto the floor. The vixen walked up to Void and smiled. "Your coming with me," she said grabbing the now unconscious vulpine. She dragged him to a black ship, looking similar to an arwing, but bigger. She threw him in before jumping into the cockpit. "There you can have shotgun."
The controls were similar to the arwing, but in at the same time more advanced. "Let's split," she said flying out of the ship. Just then, James walked into the loading bay to see Void's ship fly off and a wolfen lying in the middle of the hanger. He saw Mark lying on the floor groaning. James grunted and grabbed Mark hoisting him over his shoulder. "The b-tch may have gotten Void, but I got you," he said carrying the lupine away.
Author's note: DUN DUN DUN! CLIFF HANGER! Diamond got Void, and James got Mark. WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT! Anyways, review and I'll make more chapters. I was going to anyways, but still. Peace off. –shahn452
