"...hello"
"hey Raven are you alone?" I recignized Xavier's voice
"nope"
"well get somewhere where no-one will hear you"
"I don't know of such place"
"surely you must know of somewhere"
"well I will go outside but thats the closest to away you could get"
"Fine" he sighed
"okay guys I will be right back" I went outside and ran to the park
"Xavier what do you want that's important enough to inerrupt my
vacationing?"
"you have a mission"
"I am not leaving"
"good because your target is in New York"
"I am not working on my vacation"
"well too bad because this person asked for you to do it specifically"
"who's my target" I sighed
"four penguins, and a lemur the penguins are named Skipper, Kowalski, Rico
and Private they have some commando skills so they will be more difficult
the lemur is named Julien he is a ring-tail and he has dancing skills which
according to the data we have collected sometimes helps him dodge extremely
well"
I stayed silent
"will you need backup?"
"who asked for these guys to be eleminated?"
"some Blow-joe guy or something like that" Blowhole it had to be him
"hello earth to Raven these guys need to be eleminated"
"no"
"what did you say!"
"I said no those are my friends"
"you know what happens when you leave the agency"
"I don't care, I will be here to protect my friends send anyone they will
come back defeated because I am here and WE are waiting"
"very well have fun with that" I felt electricity course through my body
"oh yeah I forgot to mention I implanted a chip in you to send electric
shocks through you have fun"
"curse you Xavier" I switched the mode on the walkie-talkie
"guys we have a problem"
"what happened Raven?" I heard Hannah worried
"whats up?" Bolt was on too
"I quit the agency"
"WHAT!"they screamed at the same time
"are you crazy"
"you will be killed"
"why did you do it?"
"well they asked me to kill my friends and I can't do that there comes a
time in your life when you have to ask which is more important life or
protecting those who are close to you I made my desicion now will you help
me protect them or not?"
there was a long pause
"you are crazy but I made the wrong choice a long time ago if you believe
this is right I am with you"
"me too"
"great how are you guys getting here?"
"Bolt finished a new teleporting feature in his eye"
"great where will you stay?"
"at the zoo with you Bolt is already working on it"
"great meet me at the penguin habitat I will want you to help explain and
also don't bring anything from the agency"
"what about your walkie-talkie"
"I will destroy it right after this conversation"
"great see you soon"
"bye"
"see ya" I looked at the walkie-talkie it helped me so much the past year I
couldn't destroy it I needed help I ran back inside the penguin habitat.
Kowalski and Skipper where playing chess while Private watched the lunacorns
with Rico right beside him brushing the hair on his doll I walked up to Rico
and handed him the walkie talkie
"can you destroy this for me?"
"why do you want it destroyed" Skipper now stood behind me
"this is a life or death situation Skipper"
"how so?"
"you will find out when my friends get here but right now we need to destroy
that" I gestured to the walkie-talkie
"fine" Rico and I went topside and blew up the walkie talkie.
"now that the fun part is done my friends should be here momentarily you
guys just go back to what you were doing while I wait for my friends"
"fine but we will be right in the HQ if you need us" they jumped down and I sat waiting shortly I saw Hannah and Bolt.
"hey guys"
"well we are officially central park zoo residents and against a large group of assassins so I suggest you go get your friends and tell them whats going on"
"I will bring them to the lemur habitat meet me there in five"
"why didn't we just meet there in the first place?"
"I don't know just go" I jumped into the HQ everyone looked at me
"alright guys we have to go to the lemur habitat"
"why?" Skipper looked at me suspiciously
"all will be cleared up there"
"fine lets go men" we all went to the lemur habitat Mort wasn't in sight
"hey we had the small lemur leave we don't want him hearing about this..." Hannah explained
"great job Hannah now these are my friends Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, Private, King Julien, and Maurice"
"who is targeted?" Bolt looked at me
"Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, Private, and King Julien"
"wait a sec targeted? and whats with the cyborg lemur? and who's the otter?" Skipper wasn't missing a beat
"that's Bolt and Hannah anyways the targeted thing is the whole reason I brought you here apperently my work decided you were the targets so yeah"
"and what exactly is this 'work'?"
"I'm a... an..."
"assassin" Hannah finished
"wait you kill other animals?"
"technically yes"
"and we were the next target?"
"yes but I quit now undoubtedly this place will have assassins trying to eliminate you guys"
"so why are your friends here?"
"we will need backup when the assassins arrive. Now if you find yourself meeting a assassin get all pre-mentioned targets into the HQ and lock all entrances or exits if anyone comes to a entrance don't unlock the door no matter what"
"wait so someone is targeting Julien?" Maurice asked
"yes and sadly as ex assassins they won't hesitate to annihilate us"
"so approximately when should they get here" Julien asked
"soon I can feel it. Well lets go guys we need to plan I trust Julien can run" we went back to the HQ I felt a jolt of electricity as I was on the ladder, I fell off and Skipper caught me
"what was that!"
" nothing"
"that wasn't nothing"
"just a dirty little trick from Xavier"
"are you sure your fit for duty?" Bolt looked at me questioningly
"of course I'm always ready"
"um Skippah I think you should have a look at this" Skipper rushed to the spyhole
"looks like your friends are here"
"let me see" I shoved Skipper out of the way and to my horror Xavier sent our rivals Darren the leader was a huge muscular black wolf ready to kill at any second, Liam a full biomacanical robot snake boa constrictor to be exact, and Trixie a black badger ready and bloodthirsty
"well guys its showtime" Julien fell into the HQ. We jumped up and rushed to the assassins
"ah I always knew you were a traitor" Darren started circling me
"well too bad you wont finish this mission" I called my chakrams
"I think it will be you not finishing" he lunged at me I blocked his bite
"time to start the party" Bolt attacked Liam while Hannah fought Trixie I looked back at Darren he clawed at me I blocked it and threw my chakram he watched it wizz by him
"hah you missed"
"I think not" he looked back and Liam's head was on the ground the second he turned I jumped on his back holding tightly to his fur as he desperatly tried to get me off I felt a shock and saw black for a second losing my grip he took this chance and bucked me off I winced as I hit the ground he pounced on me I looked at him his eyes flashed with joy as he stabbed his claws into my flippers I screamed in pain
"DAMN YOU TO FUCKING HELL" blood was running over my flippers Hannah finished with Trixie and tried take out Darren with Bolt but he ran away. I got up
"fit for duty you say huh" we went back to HQ my arm dripping with blood I jumped down
"Jakie what happened?"
"nothing just a scratch"
"yeah totally just a scratch Bolt medical supplies" Hannah commanded, Bolt teleported a first aid kit Hannah grabbed it
"okay guys strap her to a table"
"why?"
"because the stuff we use stings and Raven won't stay still with it" Skipper stared
"I'm fine I don't need help I could take anyone on right now" blood dripped to the floor Rico, Kowalski, Private and Skipper pinned me to the table and strapped me there Hannah started bandaging me up it was stinging like crazy I squirmed around alot eventually it ended and my flippers were all bandaged
"Raven you should sit the next battle out"
"I'm completely fine"
"you should stay in the HQ next battle"
"I AM FINE" Bolt punched my side
"ow"
"exactly sit the next one out"
"fine but I am going outside it should be a while before the next attack" I climbed out and went to the park sitting in a tree I knew what day it was tomorrow the anniversary of the day my dad left because my mom didn't like his 'work' I saw a shooting star
"I wish Daddy would come back home I miss him" tears started streaming from my eyes as I sat alone in the darkness.
