*A car's engine sounds can be heard roaring as I emerged from the darkness, smiling.*

Me: Hello everyone and welcome to the 23rd chapter of my second new Misc. Anime Story.

*The light then turns on to see the Police Supra and Yakito in his... normal form. Yakito seems to be a bit confused.*

Yakito: Eh? What's this? Why I'm in my normal form while the car is in the Police form?

Me *smiling meekly*: Let's say...we are trying out a hybrid form where you are in one form but your car is in the other form?

Yakito: Yeah right. That's very funny. So you are saying that, in vice versa, I'll be in my police form and the car I'll be having is in the racing yellow form?

*I nodded and smiled meekly as silence occurred for a moment.*

Yakito: There has to be a reason for this. It doesn't make sense at all.

Me: You will find out in this chapter. Please trust me.

Yakito: Hmph.

Me *changing the topic quickly*: Anyway. I would like to first like to thank everyone so much for supporting us by favoriting and following me as well as my other stories.

Yakito: And since it's a Misc. Anime story, it's a complete OC's story. Therefore he owns the OCs and no one can use them without his permission.

Me: That's right. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to start 23rd chapter of this Misc. Anime story.

Yakito: Yep and we hope that you enjoy it but before that...

*Yakito then turns on the police sirens on his Police Supra MK4. The sirens rings on.*

Yakito: Looking forward to find out the reason from this chapter.

*I sighed.*

Chapter 23: The Rescue of the Kidnapped Animals.

"Operation Koala is a kinda a rescue mission you can say. Few weeks ago, one of our koalas went missing and we tried to search for him, even with the police helping us, but we couldn't find him." John said, "Later on, we discovered that other animals from other parts of Asia were also missing. Upon hearing that, the Asian police forces had a meeting and they said that one of the possible location of the headquarters could be in Osaka, Japan. I wasn't gonna sit idle so I had decided to come here in which upon beating a few racers, one of them told me about you so I decided to beat a few other racers to get your attention. And now here we are."

"Just a question." Yakito said before asking, "What's the specific koala's name cause you said it in a bit of an emotional way."

"Aye true mate. You know her but I think it's better to see it for yourself when we launch the rescue operation."

"So you just dragged me here just to save a bunch of animals?!" The Mohawkers leaders growled, "I can't believe it! I quit!"

"Well good luck in jail or see your reputation going down the drain." Yakito said with a smile.

The Mohawker leader gulped as he knew that Yakito meant it well so he groaned and sighed.

"Anyway. We'll need 3 cars cause we are not gonna sneak in and rescue." John said before declaring, "We will hit and run to the rescue!"

"NANI?!" The Mohawker leader asked in shock and even Yakito gasped.

"I know this is risky but this is the only way. I heard that they have set up some traps since they always suspect that someone will sneak in to rescue the animals."

"And what are the chances of that being successful?" Yakito asked.

"Not sure but I think that this is the only successful way of rescuing them."

"So you are just driving us to suicide?!" The Mohawker leader shouted angrily, "I f****ing can't believe it!"

This time, Yakito didn't say anything. Even he himself is unsure of whether to agree with the plan.

"Guys I know that this is a crazy and risky way of doing it but do we just sneak in, get caught, tortured, locked in and starve to death?" John asked, "Or we can give them a big scare by following my plan?"

Yakito and the Mohawker leader thought about it.

"As much as I had doubt on it, I think he has brought up a good pain." Yakito said.

"Yeah. I ain't good at hide and seek sometimes just like what happened in the morning." The Mohawker leader said before groaning as he had to mention that incident.

"Great. It looks like we all have agreed to it." John said in which the other two nodded before asking, "Now shall we launch the operation then? I know that this is all off a sudden but the earlier, the better."

"Umm...if it's related to chasing, then my Yellow Supra won't work." Yakito said before getting up, "I'll be back within 15 minutes."

"Alright then. That will give us time to set things up."

"Well there starts the delay." The Mohawker leaded thought and groaned as he and John watches the Yellow Supra taking off.


15 minutes later:

The Subaru BRZ is in front while the Honda S200 is in the middle. Poor Mohawker leader though as behind him is the Police Supra, ready to give him a 'reality check' as Yakito said, if he tries to escape. However, Yakito isn't wearing his police uniform this time. Just his normal clothes.

"Alright! Everyone behind me?" John asked via a speaker.

"Check!" The Mohawker leader said via the speaker as he groaned and thought, "Dang! That clever kid somehow knew that I would run away so that's why I'm stuck in the middle. Shoot!"

"Present!" Yakito said via the speaker.

"Alright then. Stay close. We are nearly there. Since we are following that truck, not one of you should make any sounds. The next course of the plan will be followed after we reached the destination. Got it?" John explained via the speaker before asking.

"Hai!" Both of the Mohawkers leader's and Yakito's voice can be heard.

"Good. I have a feeling that this is gonna turn ugly but we gotta rescue them especially the koala, our main objective."

There is silence as the three cars continued to trail on the truck which has a wide variety of blood colours and some nasty vinyls while some soft poor whimpering from the animals can be heard.

"What's so important about that koala that it has to be named Operation Koala anyway?" The Mohawker leader thought and wondered, "Also it's a good thing that the Police Supra is at the last otherwise the driver of this truck would have freaked out already."


10 minutes later

Base:

"Ah yes. Park over here." Somebody said.

The truck then parked at a spot. After parking it, two men then opened the large back door of the truck where the poor animals are kinda caged in a very small space. Not only that, they even threw it in a very rude way.

"Boss. It looks like some of them came from overseas." A man said.

"Indeed. And the main base is right here where our friends are busy kidnapping animals and then transporting it in here." The evil man with a mustache said as he smokes a cigar, "With this, we will have super high quality fur coats and oh boy, people are gonna love it!"

He and several people around him laughed evily at the glorious plan.

Meanwhile, John, Yakito and the Mohawker leader are at the bushes spying on them. They left their cars in such a position that the others won't realize that they had been watched.

"So this is their main base eh?" Yakito asked.

"Yeah mate. All the kidnapped animals are transported here." John said, "I had a gut and angry feeling that this could be the case."

"I'm still having doubts about your plan..." The Mohawker leader groaned.

"Okay ya Mohawk guy. Then go and try to sneak into the base like Snake from Metal Gear Solid. We'll follow ya lead."

The Mohawker leader gasped and gulped a bit while Yakito chuckled a bit. Looking at the security and the base building, there's no way he will be able to do feats like that. He sighed in defeat and continuing observing with John and Yakito for a few minutes before John asked:

"Shall we proceed with the plan?" John asked.

Both Yakito and the Mohawker leader nodded with the latter one giving a bit of a grumble. Pretty soon, John came out from his hiding place and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Hey you! Ya animal killing bastards!"

The men then turned around to see John angrily breathing and staring at them angrily.

"What do you want?" The evil man said before thinking, "He just spoke in Japanese did he?"

"Give me back my koala you fiends!" John angrily demanded.

The men looked at each other in confusion till one of them soon realized what is he talking about and whispered it to the boss, who immediately understood and laughed a bit saying:

"I'm sorry but we had it killed for its furs."

John is shocked while Yakito and the Mohawker leader gasped. Knowing that the time will be coming soon, they slowly got into their cars.

"You bloody liars! I won't take such lies!" John said before he signaled, "My friends! ATTACK!"

The sound of the roaring engines can be heard.

"Huh?" The evil man got a bit bemused by the noise before..., "WHAT THE?!"

The other men around him gasped as they could see two cars passing John and are about to break into the entrance.

CRASH!

The men screamed as the Honda S200 and the Police Supra crashed into the entrance and to the base.

"The repair cost is so gonna be a lot." The Mohawker leader groaned.

Yakito then rings on the sirens. The men gasped.

"S***t! He even brought the Street Racer Officer with him!" A man cried as they scurried off.

"This is insane!" The evil boss growled.

"Here's what's insane!" John said angrily as he gave a low blow to the evil boss's balls causing him to shriek in pain.

After doing that, he then does more damage to the base by breaking into the entrance with his Subaru BRZ. After breaking in, he said to both of them:

"Alright. This is as far as we can go with our cars. Now we have to proceed on foot and rescue many animals as we can. Here mate, use these smoke grenades to take them down for they certainly will be carrying guns with them so beware!"

Yakito and the Mohawker leader nodded as they quickly went into their separate ways.


"Those three intruders won't know what will be coming to their stomachs." A man said as he and a few other men reloaded their rifles.

"Yeah. They are so dead if a bullet comes to their stomach." Another man said in which the others nodded.

Suddenly they heard a rolling sound and it soon rolled right towards them. One man picked it up and asked:

"Huh? What's that? Seems to be different from a normal grenade..."

"Idiot! Throw it back! It's a..." The leader of the group shouted as he was about to shout but then...

The smoke grenade then took effect and it blasted right in front of their eyes, causing them to scream. Pretty soon, there were a lot of grunt sounds and punches and so on. When the smoke was cleared, all of the men are knocked out cold and only Yakito Taichi stands tall.

"You guys were too easy to handle once the smoke grenade blasted." Yakito said as he looks around and opens a door to see several cats and kittens stuck inside a poor sized cage, "So this is where they keep the cats and kittens eh?"

So while he searches around, he discovered one black female cat in which she resembled something and he gasped:

"Holy Smokes! Are you Luna from Sailor Moon by any chance?"

The cat didn't reply and just meowed.

"Nah. That's just me imagining things. Wonder if she was cosplaying with someone else." Yakito thought.


"Hurry! Kill the dog immediately!" A man commanded, "He's barking too much and will get their attention! We'll have dog meat after we escape."

"Okay." Another man nodded as he took out a large butcher knife to kill the poor dog, who is whimpering, in front of others when suddenly...

"What is this?!" A voice asked angrily.

The men turned around to see the Mohawker leader filled with anger.

"Too late..." The man groaned.

"What is this?!"

"We can explain..." Another man tried to explain but...

"WHAT IS THIS?!"

"Uh Oh..." The men gulped.

"I may have stolen engine and the other parts of many cars but I will never stand to see animal abuse from people like you! AHHHHHHHHH!"

And with that screaming roar, he charged towards them and the men screamed in pain as they have suffered the full force of being beaten by him and are knocked out cold.

The Mohawker leader then approached the dog and said:

"Hey. It's okay now. You are safe."

The dog licked him on his cheeks as a sign of appreciation and thanks.

"Do you know where the other dogs are?" The Mohawker leader asked.

The dog nodded and led him to the room. The Mohawker leader then realized something:

"Did I just redeem myself?"


On another room, several men, just like the others are knocked out cold. Only John is standing tall.

"Hey Cindy! Where are you?!" John shouted.

"Over here!" Someone shouted.

John immediately rushed to the direction of the voice and he could find several animals whimpering, trapped inside the cage. John looked around worriedly and then when he spotted someone familiar.

"Cindy! It's you!" John cried out.

"Yeah. I thought I was lost forever when I realized that I'm gonna be shipped here!" Cindy cried out.

"Don't worry. It's gonna be okay now."

Sadly though, their reunion didn't last long as they would have thought off. Someone is coming from behind, carrying a stick. The other animals saw this and tried to make sounds to alert John.

"John! Behind you!" Cindy shouted.

"Eh?" John asked in shock.

"Behind you!"

John quickly turned behind but then...

SMACK!


Few Minutes later:

"Any sign of Tyson-san?" Yakito asked as he's carrying the black cat on his arms.

"Nope. Nowhere." The Mohawker leader said as he's carrying the dog on his arms.

"What brings him here?"

"You mean the dog? Well he was about to be butchered for dog meat."

"Yikes!"

"And you?"

"She's struggling a bit. The cosplayer must have surely missed her."

"And how do you know that a cosplayer owns her?"

"If you look at her, she looks like Luna from Sailor Moon but she can only meow."

"I see."

Suddenly they could hear an evil laughter in which they turned around to see the evil man laughing and he's carrying a cage in which Cindy is in there!

"Cindy!" Yakito gasped.

"Cindy?" The Mohawker leader asked in confusion.

"Ha Ha! So it seems like you have rescued some of them but not clearly all of them." The evil man said.

"Help..." Cindy cried in which the Mohawker leader gasped.

"Did that koala just talk?" The Mohawker leader thought and gasped.

"You monster! What did you do to John?!" Yakito asked angrily.

"I think he has hit him with the stick *Points out the stick which has been bended* Look!"

"Damn it!"

"Ha Ha Ha! And not only that, I've made the time count which will self-destruct this base within 2 hours!" The evil man said before laughing evily.

"NANI?!" Both Yakito and the Mohawker leader gasped in shock.

"So go ahead and rescue as many animals as you can and escape but you will never be able to catch me and rescue this Cindy of his! Ha Ha Ha Ha!" The evil man laughs before saying, "Here! Have a smoke grenade of mine!"

And then he threw a smoke grenade in which Yakito and the Mohawker leader had to cover the animals for it. By the time the smoke cleared, he disappeared.

"Kuso! He's gone!" The Mohawker leader growled but then suddenly they heard a tumbling sound and cursed words.

"He must have fallen down the stairs." Yakito said. "Quick! Every second counts now!"

The Mohawker leader nodded as they ran to the room to see the poor animals whimpering and John slowly getting up.

"Tyson-san!" Yakito said as he ran to him, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah. So So. This guy knocked me with a stick. Luckily I didn't receive the full blow of the stick otherwise I would have been a goner." John said, "Anyway. Let's get them out of the cage."

"We can't! That bastard set the time limit of 2 hours and the building will self-destruct!" The Mohawker leader said.

"1 hour and 55 minutes now to be precise." Yakito said.

"WHAT?! Are you kidding me?!" John asked in shock, "How inhuman he has become!"

"Yeah. Not to mention, he's gonna leave his knocked out men being blown to bits." The Mohawker leader said before thinking, "Even I won't even think of doing that to my own crew."

"What should we do now?" Yakito asked.

John cannot believe it. They are now being put on the tight situation where they had to make a choice. What can John do now?


Few seconds later:

"This is the hardest choice I ever have to make but if he escapes, then he will continue to do his evil activity elsewhere and we'll never be able to catch him." John said, "Plus he has got Cindy in his grip."

"Dang!" Yakito said as he is carrying the cat in his arm.

They eventually reached the entrance of the base where they saw a truck is getting away and the evil man threw the caged Cindy in the passenger seat of the black Mercedes-Benz CLK 500 before he looks at them and does the evil laughter by saying:

"You are too late! Sayonara and Adios!" The evil man said as he got inside and drove off as he started the engine already before throwing Cindy in.

"No! Cindy!" John cried out.

"Oh damn it!" The Mohawker leader growled while the dog in his arms barked.

Meanwhile, Yakito is busy talking to his Chief in a serious tone before cancelling the call and said:

"Good news guys. The police force is coming in a jiffy."

"And the bad news is that how the hell are we gonna stop the truck and how do we know where they are now?" The Mohawker leader asked.

"I see a red and blue mix Toyota Land Cruiser." John said as he pointed out.

"What about the second part of my question?"

"I got this!" Yakito said as he is about to call again.

"Yakito wait! We need to come up with a fast plan!" John said.

They quickly made a plan. Yakito will be in his Police Toyota Supra to stop that evil guy and his CLK 500 to rescue Cindy while John, the Mohawker leader, the cat and the dog will be on the Land Cruiser to stop the truck. No one raised an issue except...

"Hey! What about our cars?" The Mohawker leader asked in protest, "My S200 and your BRZ? We can't just leave them!"

"Well it's for the best to leave them for now. The police will be coming soon." John said.

"I talked with the Chief also and he said that he will send me two more helicopters to locate them so keep the headphone speakers on." Yakito said, "He also told me that your cars will be in the police station when you get them. I also told them about your car name."

"Thanks." John smiled.

"And I was gonna say that I swear I won't co operate again if my car isn't being escorted safely." The Mohawker leader said as he dreads to hear about the possibility of his car being blown to bits.

John and Yakito laughed lightly before suddenly getting serious. Without any further objections, they put on their headphone speakers, got inside their respective vehicles (with John and the Mohawker leader taking the cat and dog inside the Land Cruiser) and started their engines.

"Let's go! Let's go!" Yakito said on the speaker as he revs his engine.

"We are ready!" John said on the other side.

And then they finally took off. Yakito quickly looked at his watch as some sweat is coming down.

"1 hour and 40 minutes remaining. I hope you guys can make it for the sake of the other animals and pets." Yakito thought as his eye brows shows the seriousness like Samurai Jack's eye brows.

TO BE CONTINUED!

Me: Yep. That's the end of the 23rd chapter.

*Yakito soon turns the sirens off.*

Yakito: Whoa! That was some action scene of rescuing the animals.

Me: Yeah. Kinda reminds me of my own story 'Animal Island' where there was a similar situation based on it only for the talking animals to take charge of it.

Voice: More animals got caged and kidnapped?!

Me *calling out*: Different story! Different story!

*Some laughter occurred for a moment before it became silent again.*

Yakito *smiling*: And it seems like the reason shown does make some sense to me.

Me *smiling and jumping happily*: Great! *Suddenly turns serious* But it ain't over yet people! It's Part 1 only in which the action continues in the next chapter!

Yakito: Indeed.

Me: Will Yakito and his friends be able to stop the evil man with the CLK 500 and the truck from getting away with Cindy? And will the police be able to rescue everyone and stop the bomb from going off which will blow everyone to bits? Well tune in for the next chapter will be coming up within a week or a week and half to get those answers!

Yakito: And until then, please review and like this and his other stories as well as following and favouriting him.

Me: That's right. Till the next chapter comes, see you soon so...

Yakito: Sayonara.

Me *smiling*: Farewell.

*The Supra's engines then roars again as we wave our hands.*
