Wow, an update for the first time in two weeks! Isn't that great? Also the note will stay up for the time being.

Message to anon reviewer: You didn't exactly read the note correctly. I said reviews and tests at school, not story reviews.

The two flipped through the old book, reading and reading more and more of how an innocent boy became a terrifying monster. It seemed abstract to the duo.

First, he was on a space station until a military invasion of some kind happened and he got sent down to the planet and got held in suspended animation for 30 years before being let out and out of rage, use a teleporter of some kind. That's when Dark became cruel and horrible like the person Nick & Judy already saw him as.

They also read on something called "The Combine". Those words seemed to reoccurr in their minds. Whatever it was, it wasn't good and Dark was definitely associated to whatever it was.

"I think that's enough storytime for today. We've been reading for like an hour." He said, out of breath.

"Yeah. We probably should get this thing to the Chief." Judy suggested, pulling out the strang object from her back pocket.

"Are you kidding Carrots!?" Nick shouted in disbelief. "He won't believe a word we say. I'm betting on it." He crossed his arms.

"It's worth a try, Nick." She stared into his mesmerizing emerald eyes for a moment before glancing at the transponder once more. He sighed.

"Fine. But we gotta make it real quick. We don't know what we're dealing with."

"Yeah..." With a look of determination, she put it back in her pocket and left the room with her police partner right behind.

With a wave goodbye to Nick's mother and out the door they headed. Both officers kept a watchful eye out for the one they dreaded most. "We're a hunted target out here, Fluff."

"Gee, thanks Nick! Never knew that." Judy sarcastically replied much to the fox's annoyance.

At Martha Wilde's

Strange looking soldiers tore through the old woman's house. She was confused to what was going on. "E-excuse me? What's going on?" She asked in confusion.

"Your son and I have have a little problem." A voice answered. Martha turned and looked at the strange mammal.

"What'd he do?" She asked.

"Let's just say he stole two very important objects from me. Any chance you know where he could be?"

"He's a police officer. He would never steal!" She protested.

"Really?" He gave an intense look. "Then what's that book sitting on the table?" He pointed to the coffee table.

"That wasn't there before." He laughed a little.

"Exactly. You're right. That wasn't there before, and I'm taking it back." The odd mammal snagged the book. Another soldier reported back stating something about a transponder that wasn't present in the house. He blew a sigh of frustration before him and the group of soldiers left.

With Dark, he wasn't having the best day ever. In fact, it had to be one of the worst he's had in a while. First that fox comes along, claiming he's some sort of mastermind, then those two test subjects escape with the Combine transponder. Without that one object, he and his forces were completely stranded.

Thinking of that cocky cop made Dark think about the things he hated most. Rebellion, the G.U.N forces that took away the people he called family. And that...

He began to get angry, but quickly calmed himself.

Losing the transponder was just a setback that could be solved easily. Just kill Nick and take it back. That's all that needed to be done. It wasn't hard to kill someone. Dark killed way more dangerous things before so a mere fox was no big deal.

"Sir!" A vocoded voice shouted, interrupting his thoughts. "Reports confirm Nick Wilde is approximately 6 blocks way and headed toward ZPD HQ."

"Oh, um, good. We'll apprehend him. Kill if necessary. Just get the thing and bring it to me. I need to RTB and think." He replied hazily.

Dark whipped out his favourite butterfly knife and examined the blade. For some reason, seeing that blade just cleared his thoughts. No one ever knew why.

He headed over to the strange looking vehicle in front and entered it. It drove opposite from the other vehicles who were headed right toward the city's two best heroes.

There's an update for you. I wanna get up to 28 reviews tonight and I promise a chapter should go up tomorrow evening.
