A/N; Stupid boy. Ya know, the one I had a crush on? He's musically inclined as well! I love music! He can play piano so beautifully! I'm learning guitar, but that's nothing to his skills! He even plays the saxophone! For crying out loud, how much longer will this last?!
Oh, and, also, I'm not putting disclaimers anymore. You get the idea.
Herbert's PoV
I let out a bit of a yelp as the monster smacked me. As I landed, I could have sworn I heard a pop in my shoulder. I must of dislocated it or something. I heard hvmc5 yell out my name, and steps rushing towards me. She was checking me over, trying to make sure I was alright. She was reaching for my injury, so I just laughed it off. "I've received worse from a few of you agents."
The determined look on her face told me she was planning something. I've seen that look too many times on her face. She handed me her spy phone. I gave her a questioning look, but her expression gave me no answer. Before I knew it, she was hugging me. Out of the pure natural instinct of wanting the comforting feeling of a hug, I latched onto her. She had quite the death grip! I had known how hard she could hold before, but this was suffocating! I didn't mind it though. It kinda felt nice. I almost felt secure. Safe. Something I hadn't felt since my girlfriend.
True! I, Herbert Perceval Bear Esquire, once had a girlfriend. She was a true beauty. Quite intelligent too. She understood my predicament of not wanting to take over for my father. She said she wouldn't want to take over either. Heh, she claimed that she was a terrible leader, but from what I saw, she was an amazing leader. Once I confronted her about it, she told me I'd make an excellent leader myself. I waved it off as her being her kind self. However, she swore it was the truth. She was just kind like that! She could be quite evil if she wanted to though. I had seen it many times. Every time someone picked on me, she stood up and put them in their place. I didn't care if I couldn't defend myself. She was more then happy to beat up anyone. I didn't care If I was made fun of for having a girl protecting me. The next time I saw them, they'd be broken and bruised beyond repair.
When she was killed saving me, I was heartbroken. That was yet another reason I left. I couldn't bear to stay there anymore without her.
Maybe that's why I felt so safe in with hvmc5. It's because she reminds me so much of my girlfriend.
It almost seemed like hvmc5 didn't want to leave the embrace, but she did anyway.
Then she kissed me!
Sure, it was just on the cheek, but still! I was stunned! I had no clue what to do! She just did that out of the blue! What was going on? I was paralyzed there. All I could do was sit up and stare at her as she pulled out her sword, gave a huge cry, and lunged for the beast, stabbing it in the heart.
Yup. Just like my ex-girlfriend. Strong, courages, smart, kinda foolish, even willing to risk her life...
The joy I felt at the thing's defeat didn't last long at that realization. It roared out and clutched at hvmc5. She screamed out in pain and let go of the sword. The monster slammed her to the ground.
Snapping out of my daze, I darted up. I had to make sure she was OK! She did the same for me, so it was the least I could do for her. I was almost there when the beast started falling to the ground. I looked in the direction it was headed and gasped.
It was going to land on hvmc5!
I rushed as fast as I could, but I guess it wasn't fast enough. The monstrous figure collapsed, and I couldn't get to her. I ended up simply slamming into the huge, fallen figure, hurting my shoulder even more in the process. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't lift it, Even with using my injured arm. It was futile. The feeling of loss and guilt returned to me. This was just like my girlfriend. I could hear her voice echoing in my head again, repeating what she said to him as she died in his arms.
"Don't worry. At least you'll be safe this way. Remember, I love you, forever and always."
My eyes were watering up. It felt like I had just lost another close friend. I hadn't realized my paws were bunched up into fists until I heard a small cracking sound. I looked down to see the screen of hvmc5's phone slightly cracked. I held onto it tight, (not so tight as to break it anymore) just as I did the necklace my girlfriend gave me as she was dying. She had told me that it was a symbol of love. If given to someone, it was a way of saying, 'You have my undying love.'
I then remembered what hvmc5 had told me when we were running.
"Call Jet. He'll know what to do."
I decided to do just that. She deserved her last wishes to be fallowed.
Jet's PoV
Sigh, why has the HQ been so boring? Handing out candy to trick-or-treaters would bee a lot more fun than sitting in he HQ doing nothing! All I had to do really was sit around and wait for something to happen. Psh, if you wanted someone good for the job, Dot woulda been a much better choice than me! I'm built for action! I need something going on!
That's why, as soon as the phone rang, my twitching flipper raced for it, without even checking the caller ID. "Hello?"
"Hi, um, Jet-Pack Guy?"
It was Herbert!
I put him on speaker immediately and shushed the other agents in the room. Besides myself, there was G, looking just like normal, Ace in her usual pink feathers, uniform and shades, and RikkaDimond. Most penguins call her Rikka, but I call her Agent R. Her peach feathers brought out her dark purple eyes. Well, they would of had her shades not been on. Her black wavy hair was tied up in pigtails that went over her shoulders. Then there was the jet pack she wore over her purple hoodie, the black fuzzy boots on her feet.
"What do you want bear?" At that, G got straight to work on tracking the signal.
"I want to honour hvmc5's last wish."
There was a bit of a quizzical look on all of our faces. However, at least me and G knew who he was talkin bout. "What do you mean by last wish?"
"You didn't know? She came out to the woods to get rid of the terror of the island."
"Oh, you mean yourself?"
"No, I mean the one that's been destroying the place for the past week or so. She succeeded, but died in doing so. I saw it all from the sidelines. She told me to call you, and that you'd know what to do. That's why she gave me her spy phone. So I could do just that."
Me and G both knew what that meant now. We looked at each other with the same look of horror.
Hunter truly was dead.
