A/N: Well, here we go. FoxFang episode 3. I got this up as I had nothing else to do. Like I said before, I'll be spoofing Catwoman in this story. He or she won't appear in this chapter but the Title of the story might give you a clue to the Vigilante name. I chose an Ox because it rhymed with Fox, like Cat rhymes with Bat. Feel free to guess who is under the mask of this vigilante. I'll hint that He or She will appear in the story at some point. There will also be a hint of the fourth FoxFang story in this first chapter. And as I have three stories on the go, including this one, don't expect a fast update.

A new year
It was the evening before the start of the new school year at the Looniversity. 2 weeks had passed since FoxFang and Cub had defeated the Pranker and saved Petunia. The ACME superstore was opened 3 days after Bugs and Lola had left hospital. While still shocked by the incident, they had fully recovered. They were also glad that Jessica was safe. They had been told that she was a hostage of the Pranker y FoxFang. They were still oblivious as to who FoxFang was. FoxFang's operations had been running very smoothly. It had gotten to the point where her presence was enough to scare crooks. The main criminals were robbers that were ignorant of her presence. Soon after the Pranker incident, Egghead Jr. had created a device called the Fangwave. It would detect any hostle goings on and give an exact location. It was designed to look like a personnal organiser. Jessica and Zach had told their parents that Shirley had given them one in preperation for the upcoming school year, something which was accepted quite well. In fact, the device had all the features of an advanced personnal organiser in attition to the Fangwave function. These included a calendar, alarm clock, e-mail, phone book and dictionary. The Fangwave made a sound that was exactly the same as the e-mail alert tone. They would still meet at the Treehouse base to discuss certain issues and receive anyy gadgets. Egghead Jr. was currently building an extensive underground system connected to the treehouse. He was planning to build vehicles for FoxFang and Cub to use. In fact, the underground extension was almost finished. All that was needed were a few bays for the intended vehicles and exit routes for them. Egghead Jr. had also implemented a voice changer into the Cub outfit. That night, the Fangwave had alerted FoxFang and Cub to a disturbance at the 'Diamondo De Francais', a jewellery store owned by Pepe Le Pew and Fifi La Fume. A lady had gained access to the store and was stealing all the diamonds in the store. She poured them all into a sports bag. The criminal was a female human with long hair and silver eyes. She smiled with glee at what she had stolen.
"Wow, look at all the gems. I really hit the jackpot here." The crook said to herself. Smiling with glee, she walked out of the door, unaware that FoxFang and Cub were watching her from above. They were standing on the roof and were watching her every move.
"She must have stolen thousands." FoxFang muttered.
"Common scum." Cub added.
"Well, this is our job." FoxFang threw a Fangdart at the crooks heel. The dart found its mark and caused the criminal to scream in pain. She dropped thee bag of jewels and hopped on the spot massaging her heal. Usijng this distraction, FoxFang and Cub leapt towards her. Cub stood on a strap from the bag and they both waited for the lady to turn around. She turned around and tried to pick up the bag but it was harder than she thought. Cub stepped off the strap and it snapped up into the crook's face. The crook looked down and noticed FoxFang and Cub looking at her harshly. Cub opened the sports bag and gave a 'tisk, tisk, tisk' gesture.
"Shame, why would such a face turn to crime?" Cub asked.
"Perhaps you can explain to us now." FoxFang suggested. The crook screamed and ran off. FoxFang and Cub quickly gave chase. The chase led them to Wile E coyote's laboratory. The crook looked around and saw no sign of FoxFang and Cub.
"Guess I lost them." The crook muttered. She turned to enter a room but felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around quickly and saw FoxFang suspended from the roof using her grapple gun. Cub was standing below her, ready to strike at any moment.
"Guess again missy." FoxFang taunted. She threw a punch at the crook's face, sending her through the door and into a room filled with empty stasis pods. They were all active and open. The crook looked around the room, there was no way out other than the door she'd entered. She was standing on a platform in the middle of the stasis pods. She then heard the door open. She quickly turned around abut saw no-one. FoxFang and Cub had snuck into the room and were hiding at either end of the platform the crook was on. Cub snuck onto the platform and snuck up on the crook. Before she knew it, Cub had swiped her purse and was examing her ID.
"Hmm, Miss Vanessa Icle. That name really doesn't suit a criminal." Cub muttered. He leapt up and kicked Vanessa in the face, knocking her backwards and into a waiting FoxFang. FoxFang used a leg sweep to trip Vanessa up. She landed on her back and the bag of jewels flew through the air.
"My jewels!" Vanessa shouted. She quickly jumped to her feet before FoxFang could cuff her and jumped towards the flying bag. She didn't realise, but she was heading towards a faulty stasis pod. Some loose electric wires were inside the pod. Cub was the first to notice where Vanessa was headed.
"NO!" Cub shouted, but it was far too late. Vanessa landed in the pod and it instantly closed. The pod activated but as well as freezing Vanessa, it electrocuted her. FoxFang and cub could only watch in horror at the sight.
"What a waste. She could have been a good citizen if she tried." FoxFang muttered in sorrow. Cub nodded his head in agreement. He then noticed that he still had Vanessa's purse. He went over to the pod she was in and carefully placed the purse on top of it.
"You really should've listened." Cub muttered. FoxFang had picked up the bag of stoled jewels.
"Let's go Cub, we have a delivery to make." Cub nodded with sorrow and followed FoxFang out of the building.
After a stop at the 'Diamondo De Francais' to return the stolen jewels FoxFang and Cub returned to base. When they arrived in the treehyouse, they saw that it was empty of all equipment. They saw Shirley waiting for them in the room.
"Welcome back guys." Shirley greeted. FoxFang and Cub removed their masks and looked around.
"Everything down below now?" Jessica asked.
"Yeah, come on." Shirley walked over to a part of the wall which had a hidden pannel. There was a disquised handprint scan that was registered only to her's Plucky's, Egghead's, Jessica's and Zach's fingerprint. She pressed on the finger scan and a door opened to a lift. Everyone walked into the lift and it descended into the basement.
"Basement floor. Foxcave. Mother computer, Medical supplies, workshops, watch your step." Shirley joked when they arrived. She was trying to sound like a lift operator in a superstore. Jessica and Zach laughed at the joke. The Foxcave.was a huge underground base. It was spectacular in size, even though it was not complete. The cave was made up of three floors. The top floor was the medical bay and the workshops. The main workshop was stacked to the gills with power tools including drills and sanders. There was also a large supply of steel. Egghead Jr. had found a way of producing steel from ordinary dirt by seperating the elements withing the soil, changing them with a philosipher's stone and then re-combining them to make steel. The secondary workshop was the electronics bay. There were several tools that were needed for electronics. These incuded soldering irons and hand drills. Both of the workshops had a large desk in the centre and storage space for materials. The second floor was where the mother computer was housed. The computer had been upgraded sygnificantly. It now had 10 different screens. The screens showed a satelite view of the city, close ups of the most commonly targetted areas, a link to the 24hr news channel and a main computer screen. The floors also had underground routes leading to Jessica and Zach's bedrooms in their houses. The tunnels went very deep underground, almost to the Earth's core and was protected by a thick layer of steel. The hole in the bedrooms were concealed by a trapdoor in their respective rooms. The trapdoor was camouflagued to look like part of the floor, making it unnoticeable. It was designed to only open from a remote command from Jessica and Zach's Fangwave. The place to look for this opening command was security heavy, locked by a fingerprint scan, iris scan and a password. Egghead Jr. was currently at the computer drawing up plans for the vehicles he nitended too build. He was planning to build a car, a motobike and a sidecar. Plucky was standing next to him looking at the screen and admiring the plans. The bottom floor was still under construction, but was to house all the vehicles when they were built. These floors were accessible by ladders, poles and elevators. Shirley, Jessica and Zach approached the computer where Plucky and Egghead were working. Plucky turned his head around and saw that Jessica and Zach had returned.
"Welcome back you two." Plucky greeted. Egghead turned his head, waved and then got back to work. Jessica ans Zach just waved back and then put on a depressed look.
"Why the long faces?" Shirley asked.
"The criminal we were chasing was killed." Jessica replied. Shirley gasped in shock while Plucky looked dumbstruck.
"What! It's not like you guys to kill someone." Plucky protested.
"In some ways, it was her fault, in some ways, it was an accident." Zach replied sadly. The two rabbits then explained what had happened. Plucky and Shirley were both shocked by the incident. Egghead was shocked but didn't show it.
"That is such a waste." Shirley exclaimed.
"Who was this person?" Plucky asked.
"Miss Vanessa Icle." Zach replied. Egghead logged the name under 'deceased'. Jessica began walking towards the tunnel that led back to her house. Zach ran up to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Are you going to bed?" Zach asked.
"Yeah. That littke incident has shocked me a little. Besides, it's the first day of school tomorrow and I need to rest." Jessica replied. Zach then remembered the first day was tomorrow as well.
"I'd better be going as well." Jessica pulled Zach into a hug and they embraced each other for a few minutes. Jessica then gave Zach a kiss on the lips before heading towards her house.
"Goodnight Zach, love you."
"And you. See you tomorrow at the Looniversity" Jessica began running down the tunnel that led to her house. Zach then went over to the tunnel that led to his.
"I'm off too. See you guys." Zach called out before dashing down the tunnel.
The next morning, Jessica's bedside alarm went off at 7:15am. She had delibrately placed it on top of her telly, which was on the other side of the room to her bed, so she had to wake up to turn it off. After turning off, she stretched a bit before walking to the wardrobe to pull out her school clothes. She pulled out a yellow t-shirt and a blue skirt. After changing into her attire, she walked into the lounge. Her parents were already awake and dressed in their work uniform. A sharp suit with a tie for Bugs and a Skirt/Tank top combo for Lola. Jessica sniffed the air and could smell breakfast was cooking. Lola then noticed that Jessica was awake.
"Morning Jessica." Lola greeted.
"What's cooking…doc?" Jessica asked, trying to sound like Bugs.
"Hey, that's my line." Bugs said playfully. Jessica giggled in self satisfaction.
"There's some fried carrrots cooking for you." Lola replied. Jessica imediately ran into the kitchen in anticipation. Fried carrots were her favourite breakfast, and Lola was an excellent cook. It wasn't long until they were ready and Jessica quickly ate them.
"You'd better get your school gear. We'll be leaving in a minute." Bugs said.
"Ok." Jessica replied. She ran into her room and grabbed her school bag. She opened it and checked everything she needed was there. She also checked her pockets to make sure she had everything.
"Books, check! Pencils, check! Folder, check! Library card, check! And Organiser, check!" Jessica pulled out the 'organiser' and checked that all functions were working before setting it to silent. She then went back into the living room, where her parents were waiting. Bugs had his briefcase while Lola had her sports bag.
"Ready?" Lola asked.
"Ready." Everyone else replied. They climbed out of the hole, got into their car and drove off to the looniversity.
(A/N: Well, there you go. I've hinted at the next Batman villian I'll parody, but that won't be until my next FoxFang story. This one will be a Catwoman parody. The equivelent will appear next chapter. Feel free to try and guess who he/she is. For now, please read and review.)
