Nook
Chapter 4: All In a Days Work

=----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------=
The sun was low in the sky but action was still happening in the town of Fisfle.
Nook pressed the barrel of his revolver harder into the Mayors temple.
"Anyone moves and his brains will hit the floor, I swear it!" Nook cried, eying the security guards, "Put your weapons down," he continued pointing the gun at the security guards. They all nodded and put their rifles down.
Nook looked around. "What can I do now?" he wondered. But that's when he spotted two big torches. Both had big gas tanks to help them light the night sky; and what more, lo and behold not one, not two, but three big barbecues with their propane tanks beside them. All right in the direct area of the two big torches. He grinned with glee.
"What are you going to do, you mad man?! There is no escape now," the Mayor said in a shaky voice.
"Oh, just sit back and enjoy the fireworks, Mr. Mayor," Nook answered.
As quick as he finished his sentence, Nook reached behind himself and pulled his Stinger missile launcher off his back, then he kicked the Mayor in the back and fired two missiles before the security guards could even pick their guns up. Both missiles found their mark at the center of both gas tanks that kept the torches alight. As soon as they began to blow, so did the propane tanks for the barbecues.
Nook, realizing he had two missiles left fired the remainder into the crowd. Animals flew into the sky and Tom threw his Stinger to the wooden floor and pulled out his AK-47u then jumped off the stage to the soft earth below. The security guards ran up struggling with the safety's on their guns. Before they had time to look up and fire they both had holes in them. Then Nook spotted the mayor sitting in the grass with a walkie talkie.
"Get the secret weapon out here quick, we've got an emergency!" he screamed into his radio. "What do you mean, "Its still in experiment mode"!? I don't care, get it out here dam-" the mayor was cut short when he felt a barrel to his head. Slowly he turned around and looked up. The last thing the mayor saw was one small, beady, black eye, then a flash.
"Well this should get interesting now," Tom laughed to himself.
"HEY YOU, TIME TO DIE!" a husky voice from behind called.
Nook turned around in time to see some big muscle-head bear running at him, sword in hand. Quickly, the raccoon rolled out of the way, but maybe not quick enough because when Nook looked down his AK-47u was in two pieces.
"Finally a real challenge!" Nook said eagerly, standing up and pulling his machete out of it's scabbard.
The big bear man turned around and swung his sword at Nook's head. Nook ducked and swung at the bears legs, but the bear was too fast and jumped up causing the raccoon's blade to slice through the air harmlessly. As hastily as he jumped, the bear brought his sword down again, but Nook brought his up and their blades clashed in midair. The big bear man growled loudly and jumped back, breaking their deadly embrace of steel. As Nook prepared for the next charge of the bear he caught sight of a truck pulling into the wreckage of the fair grounds. Intrigued by their ignorance of his power and his own curiosity he decided to finish the battle.
"Well, it was fun, but I have other things to attend to," and with that Tom drew his revolver and shot the bear just before he reached him. The bear fell to his knees and coughed up some blood. He screamed and raised his sword but then he felt something cold on his forehead that made him stop. Opening his eyes, he looked up to see Nooks machete protruding from his head. Then Nook put his foot on his face and slid the blade out of his face.
Sheathing his blade, Nook walked over the bodies to the truck. When he was close enough he could read the text on the truck's side. It read, "S.W.A.T." Nook just smiled and drew his revolver. Two men hopped out, M16's in hand they ran to the back of the truck. Grabbing the handles they nodded to each other and then pulled the back doors open. They staggered a few steps back from the truck then cautiously moved forward.
Tom's raccoon eyes couldn't see what they were doing from the angle that he stood but he didn't have to move. Soon the S.W.A.T guys ran out of the back end of the truck and sprinted for the open doors of the truck's cabin. Then Nook saw what they were running from.
Out of the back end of the truck flew a red blur. It landed a few meters from the truck, and when it was standing fully erect, it looked to be at least 6 and a half feet tall. The truck's engine started and it ripped out of the fair grounds and didn't stop till it reached the streets.
Tom looked uneasily at the red figure. He couldn't even see It's face. Only the long red robe it wore. Then, suddenly it turned towards Tom. The raccoon gulped and rubbed his finger over the trigger of his revolver, while his other hand felt for the hilt of his machete.
"It couldn't have seen me... could it...?" Nook pondered. But before he had time to ponder longer, the red thing broke into a run in his direction. Nook gasped and pulled his machete from it's scabbard. The red thing flung itself into the air but not before Nook jumped from his hiding place and fired on it. Out of Nook's five last rounds only three hit it. It landed in a pile of rubble looking like a bundle of red cloth. Nook threw the revolver at the thing but it didn't move. Grasping his machete with both hands he edged over to It.
As he got closer he could tell it was still alive in some way or form. Did his rounds kill it or not? There was only one way to find out. He slid a bit closer and nudged the red thing with his foot. It withered away from him but then flew up from the rubble and hurled itself at him.
"Crap, this thing is insane," Nook muttered as he tried to get out of the way. But It was too fast and it got to claw Nook's arm nicely. "Sonuvabitch!" Nook grimaced, as blood fell on the ground. The red thing let out some sort of strange screech as it passed him by, then it landed and spun around.
"That's it you bastard, you're going down," Tom called out holding his wound. "I'm gonna rip you a new one!"
The red thing didn't seem to understand the raccoon's threat, but it began walking towards him anyway. Tom groaned about his arm one last time then he ran at it and threw the machete. The blade sliced through the air and then it caught perfectly into it's chest, sinking nearly to the hilt. Nook was surprised to see that the most the wound did was knock it off balance only for a moment. When it was two meters away it flew into Nook, pinning him to the earth with it's body. It raised it's sickly claw into the sky, the setting sun making them look a glow. For a moment all hope was lost until Nook's frantically wandering hand found the handle of something. Determined not to die he swung whatever it was he was holding as hard as he could, just as the creature brought it's claw down.
There was a sickening slash sound and when the raccoon opened his eyes he saw that the red monster's arm was now but a stump, blood spewing from it. It squealed so loudly that Nook's raccoon ears nearly flattened themselves to his head. Acting quickly Nook pushed it off and stood up, then he grabbed the blood-soaked hilt of his machete which was still sticking out of its chest, and with his other hand he stabbed it where he thought it's head ought to be. It made a strange gurgling cry and began to raise it's other claw but before it had a chance to strike Nook's paw gripped the machete and ripped it down and through it's right side. Black oily blood spewed out of the new gaping wound and the thing crumpled to the ground, but not before Nook brought the machete back through its stomach.
Stabbing it a few times again, just be sure, Tom slid his machete into its sheath and stole the scabbard for his newly acquired sword, picked up an HK-5 and walked off into the sun set.
As he walked, these words carried on in his place...
"Feel free to browse, but try not to carouse... bitch..." Tom Nook... forever
And on this day our Hero has slain 2 animals, 1 monster from the Village and other countless animals with a the bombs!

Authors note: Again, I do not own Animal Crossing, nor do I own the Village. I hope everyone enjoyed this, sorry if its a tad to serious compared to the rest. If a chapter 5 ever rolls around the corner I'll try to live up to the Animal Crossing craziness I created in previous chapters. Remember to
