A/N: I think this is the fastest I've ever updated this story lol. Enjoy! This is the one that's really going to pick up the pace a little. Also there is a curse word in this (d word), so just remember that.
Disclaimer: I own none of the recognizable characters, Disney/Pixar owns them.
For the second time that day, Finn woke. However it wasn't as peaceful as the first time. He woke slowly, yes, but it was the kind that was drug induced. It took longer for him to actually wake up all the way, his head was pounding, and everything was ten times louder than it should be.
Once he managed to open his eyes all the way, he looked around. Everything around him was dark, but he could smell mold, dampness, and unfamiliar horses. The worrying thing was, he couldn't catch Rod's scent. That means Rod wasn't with him. He was on his own, and Rod could possibly be dead.
He stood, noticing a weight on his neck. Looking down he saw a rope tied around him, connecting to the wall. He snorted, did they really think he couldn't get out of this?
That's when a door opened, letting in light along with three horses. One, Finn instantly recognized was Zundapp. The other two were unfamiliar.
"Well, I'm glad you are awake," Zundapp almost snarled, "Wouldn't want you to miss the big reveal."
Finn glanced at the rope again, "Where's Agent Redline?" If I pull hard enough it'll snap.
A shrug, "I let my men take care of him."
And that could mean a number of different things, Finn was about to ask the question again but Zundapp interrupted him. "Now, since you can't go anywhere, how about I tell you about our little camera?"
Finn's jaw snapped shut. Please, tell me all about it.
"Well, McMissile. This camera is actually a high tech laser. It makes things explode. It's quite fun to use."
"What are you using this for?"
"To blow things up, obviously! I will be taking control of the horseshoe factory. Everybody seems to be going barefoot nowadays but I will show them why that isn't a good idea," a low chuckle from Zundapp, and Finn's ears pinned.
"How?"
"Well," Zundapp walked over to Finn, ears pricked but teeth flashing in a feral smile. Finn was tempted to back up. "Now that you've asked..."
He was abrublty cut off by a pained screamed. Finn's head jerked up, ears pricking towards the sound. That sounded like Rod.
Finn suddenly yanked forward. Of course he didn't have the momentum needed, finding himself being tugged back by the rope around his neck. It tightened, restricting airflow. Before Zundapp could react, Finn grunted and backed himself against the wall before shoving off of it, running forwards with as much of his power as he could. When he got to the end of the rope, it snapped clean off. It jerked him back as it did, the momentum he had being stopped. Finn has no choice but to rear, throwing his head wildly around.
To avoid being hit, Zundapp backed up, leaving Finn an opening. Finn didn't hesitate - he launched himself forward again, bursting through the door. He could heard Zundapp screaming at his henchman to get him, but they could not keep up with Finn.
He ran in the direction where he heard the screaming. He knew he had to save Rod but he also knew he had to contact Ethan. Finn checked for his radio, but it wasn't attached to his gear. They'd taken it off.
As luck would have it, he passed another door. But this time a voice he easily recognized called his name. "Finn!"
He spun around, head flinging in the direction of his name. He spotted Rod, entire body tied to the wall connected by chains. "Go! Find Ethan and Blake!"
"But what about you?!" Finn was close to panic now. He didn't want to leave Rod behind knowing the lemons could kill him.
"Get outta here! Blake and Ethan can help me. Now go!"
Finn sighed, ears flicking. But Rod - an experienced agent - was telling him to go. He didn't want to, but he knew Blake could help Rod more than he could.
"I will be as fast as I can."
With that, Finn took off once again. Using speed as his getaway card. His enemies could not catch him.
Sprinting through the doors outside the building, he took in his surroundings. Mentally making note of where he was, he paused for only a moment to get his bearings. It wasn't far from where they had been when they'd been caught.
Running in the direction he thought was right, he dodged passerby's and yelled for others to move out of his way. Flying through the city, he almost missed Blake shouting Rod's and his name. He slid to a stop, blowing loudly through his nostrils and whinnying.
"Ethan, over here!"
Cantering towards Ethan, he heard, "Oh god you good boy, where did you run off too? You weren't answering the radio. Where's Rod? Why is there a rope on your neck? Let me get it off."
He stopped before Ethan or Blake could reach him. Leave the damned rope! He reared a bit, mouthing his bit and prancing in place. Tossing his head, he snorted and backed up, jumping around. "What's wrong, Finn?" Blade asked him, reaching up to try and grab his bridle.
He jerked away, pawing the ground. Ethan didn't need a verbal response, "Rod's in trouble," Ethan suddenly grabbed his reins and flung himself into the saddle, Finn almost startling. He was all set to run when he was stopped, turned back around to face Blake. "Come on. Finn'll take us to him."
A little hesitation on Blake's part, but soon enough both men were on Finn and Finn was told to go. He jumped back into a run, full throttle this time, back to where Rod was waiting.
