REVIEW RESPONSE
acosta pérez josé ramiro: Wow, thanks for the large amount of ideas. I never was able to see when Plucky did those Batman parodies (Tiny Toon Adventures isn't on as often as I'd like where I am). You are right, Jessica doesn't have any experience with the equipment and needs tutoring, but Plucky might not know about the equipment either as it'll be different to what he's used to (although only slightly). Besides, I already had a tutor for Jessica in mind. He'll appear in this chapter. I'll consider the idea for a future story though. I'll add it to my Ideas list. Good idea about Sly Jr. I'll think about it. I'll also think about adding egghead Jr. Bare in mind that for all these allies to work, they'll have to know who FoxFang is, which she'll be unwilling to let slip at the moment. I hope the idea in this chapter compensates slightly. It was your idea that gave me mine.
Nightw2: Thanks for the ideas for future FoxFang. I'll certainly think about them, although I'm also thinking of a sequel to canary mansion at the moment, not to mention my two other stories. Look out for a preview on my profile page. As for acosta's ideas, I like them too but, like I said above, I'd already decided on Jessica's tutor a while ago. You'll see who it is in a minute, I think you'll be surprised. Sorry if I offended anyone for not using the suggestion. I'll admit that it was a very good one and if I hadn't decided on the tutor beforehand, I would've used it. Although saying that, it did give me a similar idea.
TutoringPlucky and Shirley were sitting on a bench in the park. Plucky was still crying over what they'd seen at the supermarket. Shirley was trying to comfort him.
"I was still able to sense their life so they'll survive." Shirley said comfortingly. She didn't show it, but she had also been deeply upset about what had happened.
"I only wish I knew what had happened to them." Plucky said.
"I know. I read their minds while they were unconscious." Shirley replied. Plucky looked at her.
"What happened?" Plucky asked.
"I saw that they were trying to save Bugs and Lola from a group of thugs that were trying to kidnap them." Shirley replied. Plucky grew concerned.
"Did the thugs get them?" Plucky asked.
"I'm fairly sure that they did." Shirley replied sadly. Plucky looked sad.
"How do you think their daughter is taking it?" Plucky asked.
"Not to well I guess." Shirley replied. Plucky stood up from the bench.
"I can't stand around and let these thugs do what they want, I have to do something." Plucky exclaimed. Shirley looked at him.
"Wait, you're not going to become batduck again?" Shirley asked. Luckily no one was in the park as it was a little late. Plucky looked at her. Shirley knew he was batduck because of her ability to mind read. She'd agreed to keep it a secret on the grounds that they'd started dating in secret. She eventually became a second sidekick in the form of Batcane (A/N: If I'm right, a cane is a female duck. If I'm wrong, let me know and I'll alter the name accordingly).
"I have to. I'm the only hero this town has. Besides, I want payback for what they did to my uncle" Plucky replied. Shirley looked at him.
"I understand, let's go to your house and get your uniform." Shirley said.
"I have to call Hamton as he's like my right hand man." Plucky added.
"I know." Shirley replied. Plucky snuck up to Shirley and kissed her.
"And you're my left hand girl." Plucky added seductively. Shirley smiled and kissed him back. They walked back to Plucky's house.
Jessica was sitting on her bed in her bedroom. She looked at where she stashed the FoxFang outfit.
"I can't do anything with Tweety and Aaooga around or I'll be discovered, and that will foil my plan before it's even begun." Jessica said to herself. A knocking on her bedroom door interrupted her. It was Tweety.
"Jessica, we're going to get some food for us to share." Tweety said.
"What does that mean?" Jessica asked.
"We're going to look after you until this crisis is resolved." Tweety replied.
"Ok. That's fine with me." Jessica replied.
"We'll be back in an hour." Tweety said.
"You'd better be!" Jessica shouted.
"We will." Tweety said reassuringly. Tweety and Aaooga flew off to the store, leaving Jessica alone in the house.
"Now I can do something." Jessica said to herself. She moved the mirror to the side and fished out the FoxFang gear. She looked over it with glee. She picked up one of the boomerang shaped fangs.
"I suppose this is a Fangmerang." Jessica reasoned. She gently touched the tip of the Fangmerang. It was sharp enough to send a jolt of pain through her finger, but it didn't penetrate the skin.
"Yow, that's sharp." Jessica muttered. She sucked on her finger to ease the pain. She then looked at the rest of the gear. She found a large amount of handcuff like devices. They had sharp triangles on the inside like jaws. The rim was decorated to look like a mouth.
"Foxcuffs?" Jessica asked herself. She picked one of them up and touched one of the triangles. They were as sharp as the Fangmerang. Again, she sucked the tip of her finger to ease the pain. She picked up the gloves that were with the suit. She ran her hand among the surface and felt that they were covered in tiny suckers. She felt the boots and found they had the same treatment.
"Probably for scaling walls and ceilings." Jessica muttered. She reached to put the outfit on but stopped.
"I have no idea on how to use any of this." Jessica said to herself. When she said this, a mist appeared from the outfit.
Back at Plucky's house, Shirley was washing Plucky's old Batduck outfit. It hadn't been used in a while and was rather dusty. Plucky was on the phone to Hamton.
"Hello?" Hamton answered.
"Hamton, it's Plucky here." Plucky said down the phone.
"What did you want Plucky?" Hamton asked.
"Do you still have the Decoy outfit?" Plucky asked.
"Yes." Hamton replied.
"Good, put it on and come round to my place. Me and Shirley will explain everything when you arrive." Plucky said.
"Will do, I'll be there as soon as I can" Hamton replied. He hung up the phone and started searching his closet.
"Where is that outfit?" Hamton asked. He eventually found it at the very back of the closet.
"It's dusty, but I don't have time." Hamton said. He hurriedly put on the outfit, gathered the equipment and ran as fast as he could to Plucky's house. When he arrived, Plucky was in his Batduck outfit and Shirley was in her Batcane outfit.
"What's the problem?" Hamton asked.
"Well Decoy, Bugs and Lola have been kidnapped." Shirley replied.
"And my uncle was severely assaulted." Plucky added. Hamton gasped at what he'd heard.
"More thugs came back?" Hamton asked.
"Yep." Plucky replied.
"Any suspects?" Hamton asked.
"I recon that it's the work of that master kidnapper Caesar Feralo." Shirley replied.
"We need to find them and rescue Bugs and Lola." Plucky said.
"But where do we begin?" Hamton asked.
"Batcane, can you sense Bugs and Lola's life force?" Plucky asked.
"I'll try Batduck, but I not certain." Shirley asked. She entered a trance of meditation and attempted to find Bugs and Lola's life force.
In Jessica's room, Jessica had backed away from the mist that had appeared from the FoxFang outfit. The mist was floating to the top of the room.
"What's going on?" Jessica asked, a trace of fear in her voice. She watched as the mist swirled in the air and eventually took on the form of a rabbit, about the same size as Bugs but more muscular and shorter ears.
"This is a ghost?" Jessica asked. She was now very scared.
"You do not need to worry." The ghost said. Jessica looked at the ghost.
"Who are you?" Jessica asked, less scared now.
"I am Brett Bunny, your great, great grandfather, and the original FoxFang." The ghost replied. Jessica was amazed.
"You're the hero from 300 years ago?" Jessica asked.
"Indeed." Brett replied.
"What are you doing here?" Jessica asked.
"I came to see you. You found the original FoxFang suit. Now I must teach you how to use the equipment that comes with it." Brett replied.
"Do you know what has happened to my father?" Jessica asked.
"I do indeed. With my supervision, you will become capable off saving him and your mother." Brett replied. Jessica's eyes filled with tears of joy.
"You'll really teach me?" Jessica asked.
"Yes, and I predict that before the people that are looking after you return, you will have mastered how to use all of the equipment." Brett replied. Jessica smiled.
"Thank you." Jessica said.
"First, put on the suit and dig your way out of the burrow." Brett instructed. His ghost then disappeared.
"I shall meet you outside." Brett's voice said, echoing through the room. Jessica picked up the FoxFang suit.
"It's now or never." Jessica said to herself. She quickly put on the suit and pulled the mask in front of her face. She felt a metallic device on her mouth.
"What's this for?" Jessica asked herself. She then noticed her voice sounded different.
"Must be a voice changer." Jessica reasoned. She went to the hole where the equipment was stashed and burrowed out of her room and into the night sky.
When Jessica surfaced, she found Brett's ghost waiting for her.
"I'm glad the suit fits you FoxFang." Brett said.
"Ok, now how do I use this equipment?" Jessica asked.
"Firstly, I shall demonstrate the Fangmerang." Brett said. He produced a ghostly manifestation of a Fangmerang. Jessica pulled out on of her real ones from the outfit.
"Firstly, grip the handle end in your strongest hand." Brett instructed. He held his Fangmerang in his right hand as he said this.
"That would be my left." Jessica muttered. She grabbed the handle and held it in her left hand.
"Very good, you're holding it correctly. Now throw it like you would a normal boomerang." Brett instructed, throwing his Fangmerang as an example.
"Here goes nothing." Jessica muttered. She threw her Fangmerang perfectly. It looped around a nearby tree and Jessica was able to catch it in her hand as it came back.
"You're good with the Fangmerang." Brett complemented.
"I throw a lot of boomerangs at school." Jessica replied. She had now gotten used to the new voice provided by the voice changer.
"Now, I shall move around. Try and hit me with a Fangmerang. Do not worry, I will not be harmed." Brett instructed. He started to float around the trees.
"Ok, here I go." Jessica muttered. She threw the Fangmerang but it flew past Brett's leg. It returned to Jessica's hand and she grabbed it.
"Close, try again." Brett said. Jessica threw the Fangmerang again and this time it went right through Brett's incorporeal form, returning to her hand again.
"Very good, you're a natural." Brett complicated.
"Finally I've found something I'm good at." Jessica muttered. Brett made his Fangmerang disappear and produced a dart like fang. Jessica pulled out a similar looking object from her outfit.
"These are fang darts. They can be used as weapons or to cut ropes from a distance, if you're accurate." Brett said. Jessica held the fang dart and looked at the end. There was a small silver circle.
"What is this circle?" Jessica asked.
"That teleports the dart back into your outfit, saving time to recover the dart." Brett replied.
"Ok." Jessica replied.
"Just throw it like you would a normal dart." Brett instructed. He threw his dart as a demonstration.
"Here goes," Jessica muttered. She threw her dart at a nearby tree, hitting the centre of a chopped down branch.
"Nice shot." Brett complimented.
"Thanks." Jessica replied. She opened her left hand and the dart reappeared in her hand.
"Now try and throw a dart at that small branch. The aim is to cut it so it falls off." Brett ordered.
"Do you think I can do that?" Jessica asked. Brett floated closer to her.
"Three simple words, listen carefully." Brett said.
"Ok, I'm listening." Jessica replied.
"Never Give Up." Brett said. Jessica nodded and aimed her dart at the branch. She took a deep breath and threw it as hard as she could. It cut through the branch cleanly and the branch fell down.
"Perfect, you've mastered the weaponry." Brett said.
"What is there to do now?" Jessica asked.
"I must go now. Tomorrow, we shall put those skills to the test." Brett said.
"How?" Jessica asked.
"The gremlin that outsmarted your father years ago has been sabotaging planes at the airport." Brett said.
"And tomorrow night, I'm going to fight him?" Jessica asked.
"Yes, at the same time, I shall teach you techniques to scare your foe. A scared foe is easier to handle." Brett replied
"I see." Jessica said.
"Now, return to your room and return to being the rabbit that you normally are." Brett said.
"Ok." Jessica replied.
"I shall see you again tomorrow night at 9:00." Brett said. He then disappeared into the night. Jessica went back down the hole she dug and returned to her room. After blocking the hole she hid the outfit and the gadgets and sat on the bed.
"Mum, dad, soon, I will come for you." Jessica said into space.
Back at Plucky's house, Shirley had finished her meditation.
"Any luck?" Plucky asked.
"Yep, I felt their life force." Shirley replied.
"Where are they?" Hamton asked.
"I sensed them at a warehouse in the centre of the town." Shirley replied.
"That must be the old snack warehouse." Hamton reasoned.
"I also sensed the life force of several other creatures there." Shirley added.
"Do you know what kind?" Plucky asked.
"I don't recognise the signature but I can tell that they are wolves." Shirley replied.
"Great, I hate wolves." Hamton muttered.
"No wonder my uncle was annialated." Plucky added.
"An all out attack is out of the question." Shirley said.
"Then what do we do?" Hamton asked.
"Tonight, we sneak in to the warehouse, bail everyone out and arrest the bad guys." Plucky replied.
"Tonight!" Shirley exclaimed.
"We don't know how long it'll be until Bugs and Lola are killed. It'd be better to do it quickly and save them before they are killed." Plucky replied.
"Ok." Hampton said.
"Ready Decoy?" Plucky asked. Hamton gave a thumbs up gesture.
"Ready Batcane?" Plucky asked. Shirley nodded.
"Let's go." Shirley said. They left the house and moved quickly towards the warehouse in the centre of the town, where the bandits were hiding out.
(A/N: Hope you're liking this so far. Sly Jr. will make another appearance next chapter. I hope that the inclusion of Batduck and Decoy has softened the blow of not having Plucky tutor Jessica. The action will pick up next chapter. Read and review for now.)
