REVIEW RESPONSE
acosta pérez josé ramiro: You're right about Cecil, he never defeated Bugs in a fair race but Cecil had to be clever even then. About your thought about the wolves moving location, it wouldn't be so easy as people would easily recognise the vehicle (They haven't been able to change it in any way) so someone would be able to recognise it and follow it. And even if they DID move, Shirley would be able to locate them again. Good thought though. And about FoxFang scaring the thugs before attacking, it's what Batman does in the next Film (If not the movie himself then the Movie Tie in game definitely)
Nightw2: I don't think FoxFang would appreciate help on this, after all it is a personal vendetta. Thanks for the idea though. Besides, Batduck won't have finished training. FoxFang will have another way of defeating the goons, just wait and see. Thanks for the thought about Caesar. I already have ideas for the next TWO FoxFang adventures. I'll do some on another story first though. I don't mind that you over analyse, I have a friend that does it all the time. If he reviews, please don't be offended by what he says. Anyway, onto the penultimate chapter.
I won't go into what happened during the day of this chapter because,
A) It will make the chapter too long,
B) It's irrelevant to the story.
RescueWhen Jessica woke up the next morning at about 9:15 the first thing she did was to turn the television on.
"Wonder what the news will say about what happened last night." Jessica whispered to herself. The news reporter was Carol Cobra again.
"Last night, there was a surprising event at the happy skin spa. The sudden increase in price had caused many customers to call the police. However, last night, a black figure made a sneak entrance into the top of the facility. The figure, who is believed to be the return of the legendry FoxFang, uncovered that the spa had been taken over by the notorious gangster Rocky. After the attack, Rocky's gang were helpless. They are now in police custody and the original manager has regained his position." Carol Cobra said on the news. Jessica smiled as she heard this.
"If mum and dad's captors see this, they'll be tightening their security, I'd better be careful." Jessica muttered, not knowing that the thugs weren't aware of what had happened. She turned off the TV and put on some day clothes before heading to the lounge. Tweety and Aaooga wee sitting on the armrest also watching the news.
"Morning." Jessica greeted. Tweety and Aaooga looked at her.
"Morning." Tweety greeted.
"We had a real incident at the spa last night." Aaooga said.
"Really?" Jessica asked, although she knew what had happened.
"Yeah, some black figure unmasked a group of thugs that had taken over the spa." Tweety replied.
"So that's why the price went up so high." Jessica said.
"Well, there won't be any more trouble like that. The old manager is back." Tweety said.
"That's good." Jessica replied.
"Anyway, I think you'd like some breakfast." Tweety said.
"I'll just get myself some carrots." Jessica replied. She went into the kitchen and got herself three carrots.
"What are you going to do now?" Tweety asked.
"I'd like to just play by myself." Jessica replied. She took the carrots and went into her room.
"I hope she's ok about all this." Aaooga said.
"What do you mean?" Tweety asked.
"Although she doesn't show it, I think she's mentally distressed." Aaooga replied.
"That would be understandable." Tweety replied.
At Plucky's house, Plucky, Hamton and Shirley were doing some heavy training with targets set up in Plucky's back yard. The targets were wooden dartboards hand-made by Hamton. Plucky was throwing punches, Kicks and darts at the targets, Shirley was firing energy bolts and Hamton was running and rolling at them. After a few minutes, they stopped to take a breather. They hadn't seen the news about FoxFang, but Shirley could sense something was up. Plucky noticed Shirley acting oddly, she was constantly looking at the sky.
"What's wrong Shirley?" Plucky asked. Shirley looked at him.
"I can feel the vibes from another force." Shirley replied.
"Another force?" Plucky asked.
"Yes, someone else is attacking the thugs." Shirley replied.
"Any idea who?" Plucky asked.
"No, I don't recognise the life force." Shirley replied.
"Does that mean this other person will be after Bugs and Lola's captors?" Hamton asked.
"Highly likely." Shirley replied.
"So what do we do about our next attack?" Hamton asked.
"I'd like to see how this other force fares." Shirley replied.
"So, postpone our attack until tomorrow?" Plucky asked.
"If this other person is unsuccessful." Shirley replied.
"And if he's successful?" Hamton asked.
"Then we retire." Plucky replied. Shirley considered zapping him but decided that he was right.
"Whatever, we'd better resume our training." Shirley said. She created an energy bolt and fired it at one of the targets as she said this.
That night, Jessica was sitting on her bed watching the clock and listening through the door. It was 10:30 and she was still dressed in her normal clothes.
"How much longer do they intend to stay up for?" Jessica asked herself. Suddenly, she heard the TV in the lounge turn off and all the noise stop.
"Have they gone to sleep?" Jessica asked. She peeped through the keyhole and saw Tweety and Aaooga snuggling together on a cushion. She briefly had a mental image of her doing that with Zach. She watched them until she was certain that they were asleep.
"Right, it's now or never." Jessica muttered. She moved the mirror aside and pulled out her FoxFang outfit. Before she put it on, she locked her bedroom door so no one could enter. She changed and looked at herself in the mirror.
"Look out Caesar Feralo, here I come." FoxFang whispered. She burrowed out of the room and looked around when she reached the surface.
"No one around." FoxFang said. She covered up the hole and used her Grapple gun to swing to where the news had said the gang was hiding. After a few minutes of stealth movement, she arrived at the warehouse. She peeped through the window at the entrance and saw two wolves guarding the door at the far side.
"I can either take then out, or sneak in without arousing suspicion." FoxFang said to herself. She hid herself and started thinking about the options.
"If I attempt to sneak in, I risk having to fight all the thugs in there at once and I don't know how many there are." FoxFang reasoned. She then made her decision.
"I'll take those two guards out and sneak around taking everyone out individually." FoxFang said. She looked through the window again. She saw a skylight in the roof of the entrance.
"There's my way in." FoxFang said to herself. She used her grapple gun to pull herself to the roof, the noise making the guards inside jump. The guards were Rob and Max, the two thugs that Batduck and his friends had seen.
"What was that?" Rob asked.
"Probably the wind blowing a stone onto the roof." Max replied, unconcerned. FoxFang looked down at the thugs through the sky light, being careful not to be seen. She saw a light switch next to Rob.
"I can use this trick again." FoxFang said to herself. She drew a Fang dart and threw it at the light switch, turning the light off.
"What happened?" Max asked.
"The light failed. We'd better be careful." Rob replied. FoxFang jumped to the hanging light and unscrewed the light bulb.
"I'd better try turning on the light." Max said. He hit the light switch but, as FoxFang had removed the bulb, no light came on.
"What's happening?" Max asked.
"We can still see, but not very well. Let's keep our guard up." Rob said. FoxFang took the bulb she'd removed and put it in her pocket. She then drew a Fang Dart and threw it at a crate. The sound made Rob and Max jump.
"There's something around." Rob said. His voice had a trace of fear.
"Are you nervous?" Max asked.
"No." Rob replied unconvincingly.
"So, that Rob is about to crack is he, this should be fun." FoxFang whispered. She threw a Fangmerang so it flew around his front and returned to her hand. Rob screamed in terror, making Max jump out of his skin.
"What was that all about?" Max asked angrily.
"Max, there is definitely something here." Rob replied, dropping his gun. FoxFang just watched from above. Max walked back to the light switch. He was getting nervous as well.
"Now's the time to strike" FoxFang whispered. She jumped down from the light and landed on Rob's back.
"MAX! Something's got me!" Rob screamed. Max looked over but couldn't see FoxFang clearly enough. FoxFang drew a Fang dart and threw it at Max, hitting him in the shoulder and causing him to scream in pain. FoxFang then kicked Rob in the head and knocked him to the floor. Max pulled out the Fang Dart and drew out his handgun. FoxFang turned around and threw another Fang Dart at Max's hand. When the dart hit, Max screamed in pain again and dropped his gun. FoxFang then used the Foxcuffs on Rob and then jumped back to the light.
"Where are you!" Max shouted, his voice cringing with terror. FoxFang jumped down from the light and landed on Max's shoulder.
"I'm right here." FoxFang replied sarcastically. She kicked Max in the head and knocked him to the floor. After locking him in Foxcuffs she put the light bulb back ion it's socket and turned the light back on. She then looked down at the two cuffed wolves. Max looked up in terror.
"Who are you?" Max asked. FoxFang grabbed Max by the collar and pulled his face up sharply.
"That doesn't matter, where are the captives?" FoxFang asked. Max was too terrified to resist.
"You'll find the captives in a cell down the hall and on the right. You'll see Lucius Lupine guarding the door. He also has the key." Max replied in terror.
"Thanks." FoxFang replied. She threw Max's head to the floor and went into the hallway, jumping to the ceiling and wall climbing to the indicated room.
FoxFang crawled along the wall of the corridor and eventually saw the target. Lucius was standing in front of an iron door with metal bars in front of the window. Looking around, she saw a ledge at the top of the corridor, which was about 40ft high. The ledge was 30ft off the ground.
"I need to create a distraction." FoxFang muttered. She looked around and saw the light switch for the light in the corridor.
"This tactic is getting rather boring, but it works" FoxFang muttered. She used a Fang Dart to turn off the light and then used the grapple gun to reach the ledge at the top of the corridor. Lucius looked around.
"Wonder what happened to the lights?" Lucius muttered. He hit the light switch and turned it off. He then looked in through the window.
"No doubt about it, Bugs and Lola must be in there." FoxFang muttered. She then heard a voice, which she recognised as Bugs'.
"Doc, can you get us a drink?" Bugs asked Lucius.
"Fine, what do you want?" Lucius asked.
"Carrot juice." Bugs replied.
"Ok, I'll be back in two minutes." Lucius replied.
"Good coincidence, but it gives me an opportunity." FoxFang muttered. She watched Lucius walk down the corridor and away from the door.
"I need to make my move now." FoxFang muttered. She leapt down and landed on Lucius' shoulder. Before he could react, FoxFang grabbed him by the neck and used the Grapple gun to pull them both up to the ledge.
"What's happening?" Lucius asked with a mixture of surprise and terror. FoxFang looked at him squarely in the eyes.
"Give me the key to the door before I let you fall!" FoxFang said blankly. Lucius looked down at the immense drop below him. He started to sweat. Nervously, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a gold key.
"Ok, here." Lucius said nervously. FoxFang took the key in her hand.
"Thank you." FoxFang replied. She then loosened her grip on Lucius and allowed him to drop to the fall. The fall was not fatal, but Lucius was knocked out cold. FoxFang lowered herself down and placed Foxcuffs on him. She then went to the iron door and unlocked it. She heard Bugs' voice.
"Eh, what's going on?" Bugs asked. FoxFang opened the door and entered the cell. She was able to control the urge to leap at them on the grounds that it would blow her cover.
"Are you two ok?" FoxFang asked.
"Who are you?" Lola asked.
"I'm the Knight Toon. That is all I shall say." FoxFang replied. Bugs' eyes widened.
"I thought you were only a legend." Bugs said.
"Well, I'm as real as you are. Come on, let's get you're your carrot juice." FoxFang replied. She led Bugs and Lola out of the cell, being cautious as to who was around.
"Any idea where Caesar is?" FoxFang asked. Bugs pointed to the Lucius.
"I'm sure he'd know." Bugs replied. Lucius woke up and looked around. He tried to move his arms but couldn't because of the Foxcuffs. FoxFang grabbed Lucius and lifted his head up.
"Where is your leader?" FoxFang asked.
"I can't tell you or he'd kill me." Lucius replied.
"What makes you think I won't kill you?" FoxFang asked, drawing a Fang Dart. Lucius panicked.
"He's in the kitchen, where I was going to get their drink. Straight down the hall at the end of the corridor." Lucius replied.
"Our cell phones should be there as well." Lola said.
"Thanks." FoxFang replied bluntly. She threw Lucius' head to the floor, knocking him out. She then turned to Bugs and Lola.
"I want you two to stay out of the upcoming fight for your own safety." FoxFang said.
"Ok." Lola replied.
"I'll knock out the rest of the gang and then I'll get you two out of here." FoxFang added. She ran down the corridor to where Caesar was.
FoxFang arrived at the door to the kitchen where Caesar Feralo was hiding. She opened the door slowly and slightly and peeped inside. She saw Caesar sitting at a desk looking at a map of the town. There were also two other wolves with him, also looking at the map.
"Any idea where Bugs' house is?" Caesar asked.
"None Yet." Lupus replied.
"No idea here either." Winston added.
"We need to know so we can send information on what time to meet at the Looniversity." Caesar said sternly. FoxFang looked at the scene and thought about what to do.
"I think I'll do things a little differently this time." FoxFang said to herself. She drew a Fang Dart and threw it at the light bulb, smashing it and plunging the room into darkness.
"What happened?" Caesar shouted. FoxFang leapt to the ceiling of the room and watched the confusion.
"Something caused the light bulb to smash." Winston said.
"Well don't just stand there, change the bulb!" Caesar ordered.
"Not if I can help it." FoxFang muttered. She threw a Fangmerang so it circled the entire room before returning to her hand, making everyone jump.
"What was that?" Winston asked.
"It looked like a bat." Lupus replied.
"I hate bats." Winston moaned.
"I could have some fun with this." FoxFang muttered. She threw a Fang dart into Winston's neck and allowed it to teleport back to her hand. Winston screamed in pain and terror.
"AAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH! A vampire bat!" Winston screamed. Everyone was so shocked that they dropped their guns. FoxFang took this opportunity to knock out both Winston and Lupus. She placed Foxcuffs on them and then jumped back up to the light. Caesar turned on a lantern that was in the corner and saw Winston and Lupus out cold and cuffed.
"How did police find us?" Caesar shouted in anger.
"I am not the police." FoxFang replied. She jumped down from her hiding place and confronted Caesar.
"Who are you?" Caesar asked, drawing his handgun.
"You're worst nightmare." FoxFang replied. She threw a Fangmerang and knocked the Handgun out of Caesar's hand. She then fired her grapple gun at the light and swung towards Caesar, kicking him in the face. Caesar fell to the floor and looked at FoxFang. He was now scared.
"Who are you?" Caesar asked.
"I am the Knight Toon, FoxFang." FoxFang replied. She kicked Caesar in the head, turned him onto his back and placed the Foxcuffs on him.
"And you, Caesar Feralo, are under arrest for multiple charges of kidnapping, assault and murder." FoxFang added. Caesar groaned and looked at FoxFang with alook of fear.
"I should've headed the legend." Caesar said with a moan. Bugs and Lola ran into the kitchen soon after.
"Wow, you did it." Bugs complimented. Lola noticed their phones on the table.
"Hey, here are our phones." Lola said. She picked up her phone and turned it on. When the phone activated, she noticed that she had a voicemail.
"I've got a voicemail." Lola exclaimed.
"Who's it from?" Bugs asked. Lola played the voicemail and listened. It was the one Jessica had left two nights ago.
"It's from Jessica." Lola replied. Bugs got worried.
"I hope she was able to cope." Bugs said.
"FoxFang, do you know if Jessica was able to cope?" Lola asked.
"I don't know." FoxFang replied. Bugs turned on his phone abd called the police.
"FoxFang, why don't you come back to our house to see our daughter. She'd love to meet the one who saved us." Lola offered. FoxFang jumped to the window.
"Mrs. Lola, I am moved by your invitation, but I must politely decline." FoxFang replied. She looked out of the window.
"I feel that Thugs will increase after this incident. I must remain vigilant and protect the city, and it's people." FoxFang added.
"I understand." Lola replied.
"As soon as the police arrive, you two should head home. The thugs are harmless now that they are cuffed. Now I must go." FoxFang said. She leapt out of the window and disappeared into the night. Bugs had finished talking to the police and they soon arrived.
"Bugs, should we ring Jessica and see if she's alright?" Lola asked.
"Lo, it's 12:00. She'll be asleep now." Bugs replied. The police entered the room and picked up Caesar.
"We;re glad you're ok." One of the officers said.
"By the way, who saved you?" Another officer asked.
"The FoxFang." Bugs replied.
"He's returned?" The first officer asked.
"Yep." Lola replied.
"I wonder hwo he is." Bugs said to himself. They had no idea of who had saved them.
(A/N: The final chapter is next. It'll be exploring what happened the few days after this incident, including how Zach replies to Jessica's offer. You can guess if you want. Anyway, read and review. I'll update as fast as I can.)
