Chapter 21
Once we finished driving off to the blip on our radar, we saw that the extras were actually trying to fight the frills and that there was a large air ship there with a familiar face working in it. But familiar to me, at least, if only because I worked alongside her before. "What the hell? Talia? What the hell are you doing working for Cass?" I asked her when I came in and saw that the extras were getting tired and that Birrel, Squeaver, and the fox director were all cornered by the frills in another area. "What the hell? Gia? What are you doing here?" Talia asked in shock. "I should ask you the same question! What are YOU doing here, teaming up with Cass to attack innocent people?" I asked her.
"Peh. I didn't really find any kind of work after leaving Cass, so I ended up working with him again. He simply told me to go find mammals and bring them back to Cassopolis. What's so wrong with that?" Talia asked with a frown. "What's wrong with that?! He's taking the warm blooded traits of mammals and putting them into frill lizards to turn them into an unstoppable army! And the process makes the mammals cold blooded!" Shade exclaimed at her, Talia gasping at that. "You're serious?! You-You're surely jesting me, right?" Talia asked. "Does it look like we're joking?! I saw it with my own two eyes when I spied on Cass! If he gets enough mammals, the world will be doomed!" Shade exclaimed, the frills immediately turning their attention to me and Shade when they heard that.
"You're the spy that Cass wanted captured! GET HER!" one of the frills exclaimed, all of them coming at me, which I responded to by spraying them all with a spray of liquid nitrogen from my Nitrorang, all of them getting ice all over their bodies and making them all extremely cold. "H-HEY! T-THAT'S TOO COLD!" the one frill said with a shiver after that. "Want to warm up? Go back into that ship and head back to Cassopolis with your tails between your legs. Your boss will not succeed on our lives, I can assure you of that," I growled at the frills. "F-F-F-FINE! J-Just unfreeze us, please! I'm getting too c-c-cold!" another one of the frills said. "Fine," I frowned, hitting the defrost button and the frills getting unfrozen and them all retreating to the air ship with Talia not on board.
"Talia! Why aren't you coming back with us?" the one frill asked. "I'm not coming back with you because I was told we were gathering mammals for a good cause, NOT for another fucking world domination plot! And the fact that you're turning them into cold-blooded creatures to make monstrous frills?! That's not only unethical, but disgusting as well! In fact..." Talia frowned as she pushed a button and the jets of the air ship exploded out of nowhere, leaving the frills completely stranded here. "Go home on foot, bastards! And if I hear that you kidnapped any kind of mammal on your way back, I'll cripple you for life if I find you again," Talia growled at them. The frills looked at her in shock and simply hung their heads and walked away and down the road.
"So... Talia? What are you going to do now?" I asked her. "I don't know... what kind of place can I work for if I'm not working for Cass anymore?" Talia asked as I saw Birrel, Squeaver, and the fox director come around with the extras. "Thanks for saving our hides from them... after this incident, I think we'd rather have our film set in a safer area... where would we go to have a safe filming without being kidnapped?" the fox director asked. "Well, I have an idea of a place you could go to film your place that's definitely safe," Shade smiled. "Where?" Birrel asked. "Bush Rescue HQ. That way you can be safe 24/7," I said to them.
"Bush Rescue? Isn't that the new security place in Burramudgee? The place where Boss Cass said we would get the most of his mammals for? He said he plans on attacking Burramudgee in two days," Talia said, me frowning at that. "Then join us so we can stop Boss Cass and you can actually have a job at Bush Rescue," I smiled at her. "Really? You'll give me a job?" Talia asked with big anime eyes. "Sure. We already have myself, Sneeth, Keith, and Shade working at Bush Rescue, so we could always use more former Cass employees in Bush Rescue," I smiled at her. "Deal. I'm going with you," Talia smiled at me. "Then let's hear what the next job I have next before my shift is done," I said as I took out my job list machine and I saw there was one more job, which I didn't really expect.
"Seems that Fluffy stole another top-secret invention. The Shadow Drive... I think I'll go after her while you guys take the Fourbie and head back to HQ. I'm going to travel by the updrafts," I smiled. "How so?" Birrel asked. "Simple," I smiled as I crouched down and did something that I learned from Fluffy back when she and I worked together. I did a large back flip jump and then glided on the updrafts over towards the blip that would show me to where Fluffy was. She seemed to be by a watery area that was a docking area. And once I appeared to her, she gasped as I collided with her body with my own and sending the both of us into the water while she was outside of her mech.
"GUH! What the hell are you doing?!" Fluffy exclaimed as she tried to punch me in the water, which I responded to by jumping onto a platform before freezing the water around Fluffy just as her face resurfaced. "GAH! C-Can't... move..." Fluffy groaned from inside of the water. "Just give back the item you stole and I'll be on my way, mammal-stealer," I frowned at her, making her gasp. "Y-You know?! How do you know that's our plan?!" Fluffy asked. "Because my spy told me. Don't know how you're going to get all those mammals to become cold blooded in favor of giant monster frills, but all I care about is retrieving the invention you stole. Just give it back to me, or I take it from you by force," I frowned at her. "Hah! And how will you take it from me by force?" Fluffy asked. "Says the girl who's trapped in ice," I frowned at her. "Rgh... fair enough..." Fluffy frowned as I dove back into the water and grabbed the object from her, it being a machine I recognized that Julius was making. "The Shadow Drive, ey? Stay out of our business and we'll stay out of yours, okay, Fluffy? I could very easily arrest you since I caught you in the act," I frowned at her, making her eyes grow wide.
"Y-You seriously wouldn't do that, right? Come on," Fluffy said with an unconvincing smile. "Mm... I would, I could, and I'm going to," I frowned at her as I then unfroze her, only to connect a Netterang shot to her, which Fluffy groaned at as she tried to break free, but finding it fruitless. I then took out my phone and dialed it to who could help me out. "Hello? Duke? Are you there?" I asked into the phone. "Ah yes, I'm here, madame. What can I do for you?" Duke asked with a smile. "I've got a criminal to go to jail, but I'm a bit stranded. Care to pick us up with the helicopter by chance?" I asked him. "I'll be right there," Duke smiled at me afterwards. "Dammit... you realize that Cass is going to be pretty peeved when I don't report back, right?" Fluffy growled. "Don't care. What's he going to do? Capture me and turn me into a cold blooded Sugar Glider? Sorry, but no one is going to capture this awesome possum," I smiled. "You suck at jokes," Fluffy growled at me. "I know, but I don't care," I winked at her.
