CHAPTER 9. THE FINAL BRAWL.
In a warehouse at the harbor, Auzzy had waited almost half an hour for the Loonatics to show up with Teresa and was getting pretty steamed. Tech was chained tightly by his wrists to a large lead crate and was still weak from the tranquilizer.
He had absolutely no idea of what to do, the chains must have had a rare non-metallic alloy in them because his powers couldn't affect them and he had no tools on him, he was as screwed as a rat in a glue trap.
"Them freaks had better show up in the next 30 minutes, otherwise yer on the road to pain dog! I'm getting really bored and I always get mad when I'm bored!" Auzzy shouted at the coyote.
"They will never give up Teresa! So do your worst, you can't kill me that easily!" Tech said.
"Not even if I did this mate?"
The hunter brought out a 2.45 bazooka and blasted a big hole in Tech's abdomen. Blood gushed out of the hole, the guts slightly hung out, and half the spine was gone. The coyote activated his powers and healed his injuries.
"Not even if you did that!" Tech groaned.
Auzzy suddenly grinned evilly while smacking his palm with a crowbar.
"He he he. Looks like I found a way to kill some time."
"Oh crap! Why do I always have to open my big mouth like that?!" Tech franticly thought.
Now he was in for a whole world of pain. 30 minutes had past, but Auzzy didn't notice because he was having too much fun beating the ever-living crap out of poor Tech. There was a sudden wrapping at the door and the hunter stopped his beating, the coyote healed his injuries as Auzzy answered the door. To both of there surprise, it was Teresa.
"Well well well, ain't this a nice surprise. What brings you here?" The hunter sneered.
"The Loonatics refused to make the trade, but I couldn't risk Tech's life, so I came here alone without them knowing. I have come to give myself up." Teresa said.
"Teresa! How could you do that?!" Tech thought.
His chest swelled with feelings of hurt and betrayal, hot tears began to well up in his eyes. He was going to lose her for good and there was nothing he could do. Suddenly he felt something tugging at the chain on the left side, Tech turned his head and to his ultimate surprise, it was Teresa.
"Teresa?! But you…there…what…how?" The coyote whispered dumbfounded.
The tiger made a shush gesture and winked. Tech suddenly realized that it was a trap for Auzzy and smiled. Teresa ducked behind the crate as Auzzy turned around and walked over with the fake tiger.
"Well here he is Miss Tiger, no need for worry." He said.
"Oh please, won't you release him?" The fake Teresa said.
"In a moment, first let's talk about the sanctuary. Step over here."
The two walked away and the real Teresa popped up again with a laser cutter in her hand. She cut the chains and draped Tech's arm around her neck and the both of them sneaked to the door.
"So love. Where do I have to go to get there?" Auzzy asked the fake tiger.
The fake Teresa didn't answer, she just stared blankly into space. The hunter began to get annoyed by the cold silence.
"OUT WITH IT BITCH!!" Auzzy shouted.
Suddenly the tiger's eyes began to flip out and her head exploded, her body dropped to the ground with the wires hanging out of her neck. Auzzy suddenly realized he'd been hoodwinked. He heard the door creak and turned to see the two animals at the open door.
"YOU LITTLE MAGGOT BAGS!!" He screamed.
"Uh oh, we've been spotted!" Tech said.
"Well he won't be able to catch us outside!" Teresa replied.
"We'll see about that!" Auzzy shouted.
He chased them out to the boondocks and soon found himself surrounded by some familiar animals.
"Eh, what's up doc?" Ace said.
"Wow, you are not that bright at all." Duck said.
"YOU TRICKED ME YOU SKANKY SNOWFLAKE!!" Auzzy screamed pointing at Teresa.
"This time there's no escape August! We've got you right where we want you!" Lexi said.
"LIKE HELL YOU DO!!" The hunter screamed.
He whipped out an abnormally large laser rifle and fired it.
"Hit it Loonatics! Remember the plan!" Ace called out.
"Right!" The others replied.
The heroes dodged the laser and sprang into action as they split up. Auzzy fired all around trying to hit his targets and was getting very angry.
"Hold still you little freaks so I can blow you up!" He shouted.
Rev sped up behind him and tapped his shoulder, the hunter turned around and saw nothing, he faced forward and the roadrunner punched him hard in the face. Lexi hopped up on a crate behind August and shot a brain blast sending him flying.
Slam shot a tornado from his arms and sent Auzzy spinning into the ground. Duck threw a flurry of fire eggs at him hitting the arms and legs. Tech and Teresa had taken cover behind the wall of wooden crate as the brawl raged on.
"Tech you can't fight, you're still weak from the tranquilizer." Teresa said to the green coyote.
"I've got a score to settle with him, I have to fight." Tech said.
He tried to stand up, but his legs were still numb and plopped back down.
"You can't face him in this condition, he used a really strong serum."
"I'm aware of that, but he'll get away again if he counter attacks."
"Not this time, not with out these."
The tiger dangled Auzzy's bag of smoke grenades in his face and Tech grinned slyly.
"Try this on for size!" Ace shouted.
He fired his laser vision at a crane rope suspending a crate, the rope snapped and the crate dropped on Auzzy with a crash.
"We got him!" Duck cheered.
But suddenly Auzzy threw the wood off himself and drew his machete.
"You want a piece of me Loonatics?!" He yelled.
"Gladly!" Ace said.
He drew his Guardian Strike Sword and the two engaged in a blade fight. Each were at tooth and nail blocking strikes with their blade not letting their enemy cut through. With one swing, Ace knocked the machete out of Auzzy's hand and it skidded off the dock into the water.
"Give up August! You're out numbered, out of ammo, and shit out of luck! So why don't you be a cooperative villain and surrender"
Before Ace could finish his sentence, the hunter rammed his fist into the rabbit's face and sent him crashing into a stack of crates.
"Yourself." Ace moaned out.
"I'm going to cut our playtime short! Sianara Loser tics!" Auzzy said.
As he reached for a smoke grenade, he was shocked to find his bag gone, he patted all over franticly with no luck.
"Looking for this King Kong?!" Teresa said.
The hunter looked to see the white tiger standing near the edge of the dock dangling his bag. She chucked it over her shoulder and the bag sank in the water.
"Not so escapable without you disappearing act now are you?" Teresa taunted.
Auzzy went into a fit of rage and began flinging crates everywhere, the heroes were barely able to dodge them with their heads still on their shoulders. The hunter then shot his grappling hook at Teresa and pulled her to him, he took hold of her neck and lifted her off the ground as she screamed.
"I'll take care of you first, then it's your turn Loonatics!" Auzzy said.
The heroes scowled him down, they couldn't attack without harming Teresa. Tech had just about enough of this. He levitated a crowbar to his hand and dashed out from behind the crates up to the hunter's turned back. With one powerful strike, Auzzy crashed to the ground with the back of his head bleeding.
"That was for attempting to harm the city, my teammates, and Teresa!" Tech yelled.
He then struck the hunter across the head a second time.
"That was for beating me for 30 minutes straight! And I'll only tell you this once, I'm not a dog, I'M A COYOTE!!"
Teresa approached the hunter and stomped hard on his balls.
"That was for calling me snowflake! We prefer the term white!" She said.
She and Tech embraced lovingly as Ace cuffed Auzzy, it was finally over.
