New day, new chapter! Also I will be answering questions via PMs now, which is what I should've done before! And happy New Year and Christmas and happy 10k views for me!
Finnick quickly approached the mansion that belonged to none other than the famous Gazelle herself. He didn't know what "things" Ivo was preparing just before he left.
It didn't matter now. The mansion was only a few miles up ahead, and luckily it wasn't in a huge city like San Francisco or Seattle. The place itself was stationed on the side of the road near a cliff.
Alongside the small fennec were several of the many robots that Robotnik produced. Although it was likely that if everything went according to plan, they wouldn't be of any use to him. Below him were several new RE Covert Ops APCs that looked pretty distinctive to any other armoured vehicle.
They had a colour scheme much like the soldiers' attire with their and the Robotnik Empire logo on the sides and front. On the top was a glass canopy with a minigun.
The plan was simple; a snatch and grab mission. Something that wasn't unfamiliar with Finnick since he used to kidnap people that severely annoyed him before scamming was his popular interest.
The mansion of Gazelle was less than a mile ahead, but the fennec and the soldiers were caught off guard when a red Ferrari burst out of the driveway and down the road.
"What the..." He said to himself as he nearly lost control of the hovercraft since the fennec was still getting used to the controls. It didn't help because of his tiny height and had to raise the seat high up to see properly when flying.
Everyone knew that the person in that car was Gazelle almost right away and turned into pursuit.
"Don't kill her!" The tiny fox barked with his deep voice at the radio. The trans-mammal wolf-and-polar-bear soldiers gave their acknowledgement not to do so.
"Copy."
"Affirmative, will not use lethal tactics." They said, the vocoders in their gas masks made it hard to make out what they're saying, but it didn't matter.
The chase was on. Finnick caught up with the car because of the sharp turns along the cliff. Gazelle was no stupid driver and took it slow around the turns despite being in a fast vehicle.
"Make it easy and just give up, you ain't getting away!" Finnick yelled through a loudspeaker on the hovercraft. It only seemed to make the car go even faster.
The APCs were outrun by the car and the robots' jet engines weren't fast enough to catch up but Finnick was still caught up.
Piloting the hovercraft only seemed to get harder as the faster he flew to keep up with Gazelle below. "Wooooaah!" The fennec yelled. They turned another corner along the cliffside road and he nearly lost control before recovering by slowing the thing down.
He noticed a switch that said "CANOPY" on it and reached over and flipped it. A glass dome came up and covered the open top part of the hovercraft.
He gave a look of determination. Finnick quickly resumed his chase with Gazelle, who was miles ahead of the small but determined fox.
Gazelle ended it taking a left away from the cliff and into more of the countryside.
"You ain't getting away from me." He said as they approached a township just ahead, still having Gazelle in his sights.
The Ferrari raced through the town, dodging cars with Finnick overhead. Suddenly the sound of a transport ship's engines were heard.
To Finnick's right was a Robotnik Empire standard model transport ship. He looked and gave a sigh of relief.
The ship flew a little closer to the hovercraft whilst chasing Gazelle, but as the tiny fennec fox looked, his heart dropped. Inside the cockpit of the ship was none other than Judy, Clawhause and Chief Bogo. He completely forgot they hijacked one of these ships to escape a burning Robo-Carrier before he switched over to his former ex-best friend's side once again.
The 3 of them gave a friendly wave to him.
Finnick only glared back in hatred before resuming his chase with the red Ferrari, but the ship lowered altitude and picked up Gazelle's car with the magnet underneath.
His large fennec ears dropped. There wasn't much hope of finding Gazelle if those former friends of his escaped with that car containing the internationally famous singer.
'No, no, no, no! I can't let them escape...' Finnick thought in pure worry as he tried to maintain a straight face.
The larger flying vehicle veered off further away, but that didn't stop the fennec. He was given an order, and he would accomplish that order. Defying Dr. Robotnik was a terrible mistake.
He flew next to the transport ship again and looked into the cockpit window where his old friends were standing. The small fox made gestures to drop the car, but Judy gave a shrug and shook her head as the ship flew faster and further away.
Finnick thought of the options he had. He could return to the Doctor's base and get reinforcements, but risk Judy and Gazelle getting away. His final option would be to follow the stolen ship until it landed somewhere.
He chose the latter and continued following.
It must've been half an hour until the fennec's enemies landed because of a recharge. He lit up with joy and smiled until the dashboard of the hovercraft lit up and said "NO POWER TO ENGINES".
He screamed as the hovercraft descended and crashed into the soil next to the transport ship.
If the dome was open, then Finnick would've been swallowed by dirt and mud. He quickly thanked himself for closing the glass dome earlier in the chase.
The glass was cracked and covered in dirt. Beyond that was the trio Ivo hated most approaching the downed hovercraft.
"Hey little guy. Decide to come back?" The fat cheetah asked as his other two accomplices studied Finnick inside. He tried to hide himself as best as possible, but they already knew he was in there.
"BACK OFF!" Finnick yelled at them, but only amused Judy even more.
Bogo broke the glass of the hovercraft and hauled Finnick out and onto the grass as he stumbled away.
"Come on Fin, whatcha doing?" Judy asked.
"Stay... back!" The fennec warned with his deep voice and reached for his pocket that contained a G17 Glock pistol.
All of them gasped when Finnick aimed the gun at them. "Sit down in the grass, before I shoot!" He demanded.
Nobody moved an inch as he pulled the trigger, only to hear a "click!" much to his dismay.
"Enough! Get inside, you've caused enough trouble already." The large buffalo said as he picked up the fennec fox and brought him inside the transport as he flailed like a baby.
"What's you deal?" Ben asked. "Don't tell us you were for real going to Nick."
Judy approached Finnick and dusted off the emblem on his jacket. It was the Robotnik Empire logo.
"Yep. Dumb Fox detected."
"I don't believe this."
"You're joking."
Everyone mumbled on and facepalmed at his decision to join Dr. Robotnik.
"Not my fault you're all lying!" He accused once again but got no response whatsoever. "He'll come back for me and her!" Finnick pointed at Gazelle, who was watching in dismay.
"Listen, Fin. The worst Dumb Fox managed to do was fracture my leg, which is healed."
"But I was the reason why you all lived when we were in the ship! Without me, you're all dead when Ivo comes back for me and Gazelle!"
"He can throw all the robots at us, dude. Didja forget about my hacking skills?" Ben chirped in. Finnick never felt so embarrassed in his life, but what he said was true.
For some reason my views and Traffic Chart are broken. Like, it doesn't show me how many views I have. It's stuck at the same number for some reason. Is that happening to any of you?
