Note: What's up managed to grab a free hour and decided to write.
Fox gritted his teeth and squeezed his eyes shut as the light around the human and his wife intensified. He squinted and was barely able to make out their outline. He watched as the light around Krystal dimmed slightly and he felt a lump of fear settle in his gut. It lessened when the light around Zavis flared up and flowed into Krystal. Fox watched the light flash and jump around the corridor.
Katt kept her eyes shut tight as the light grew brighter. She muttered under her breath every pray she could think of that might help. As the light intensified once more Katt could almost see Zavis and Krystal with her eyes shut then the light died.
Fox watched as the light winked out and he saw Zavis slump up against the walk next to Krystal. Fox scrammed to Krystal's side and cradled his wife once again. He ran his paw along where the wound had been and was surprised to find that it was whole once again. He wiped some of Krystal's fur out of her eyes and whispered, "Krystal"?
"Ugh, Fox, what, what happened"?
"Nothing, everything's fine you just rest for a minute ok." Fox said his voice barley audible as he nuzzled her face.
"Ok," Krystal said with a small grin before she dropped off into a deep sleep.
Katt watched as Fox held and nuzzled Krystal before she headed over to Zavis. When she reached his side she saw that he was exhausted, beads of sweat ran in rivers out of his matted hair and down his face. Katt reached out and gave him a gentle shake.
"Hey Zavis, Zavis wake up."
Zavis gave a low grunt before he muttered, "Hey Katt."
"Zavis thanks you saved Krystal."
"No I didn't."
Fox wiped his head up and glared a Zavis, "What do mean"?
"I couldn't remove the aparoid from her," he paused and looked at Krystal for a moment, "all I could do was slow it's growth."
Fox settled Krystal against the wall then flipped over her and grabbed Zavis by the neck, "then try again."
"I won't work, I've done all I can. I barely saved her kits." Zavis said as he glared at Fox.
When Fox heard about the kits he released Zavis he looked back and Krystal then asked, "Is there any way to save her."
"Yeah," Zavis muttered, "take down who ever has the queen core memory."
"I can take care of that," Falco muttered as he grabbed the blaster Fox had dropped and took aim at Zavis.
"Wait"! Zavis yelled as he tried to get up. "I don't have the memory inside of me anymore."
Fox raised his paw and stopped Falco from firing. "Then who does"?
"Far as I know Dr. Hyman," Zavis said as Katt helped him to his feet.
"Fine then we find Dr. Hyman," Fox said as he picked up Krystal, "but first we have to get out of here." Fox waited until everyone nodded in agreement before they climbed into the elevator.
As the doors shut something scuttled out of the gore around of Henderson's decapitated corpse. A small spider-like creature covered in blood scurried over to a vent and slipped inside of it.
Inside the elevator Zavis moved to the front and waited as the floors slide by.
"They will never trust you."
I know.
They'll kill you the first chance they get; you should kill them all now before they get that chance.
"No the pup has more honor than, the bird I'm not so sure of."
Shut up the both of you! I know what I'm doing, I think.
Zavis turned back around and looked at Falco, "Is that blaster the only weapon ya'll have"?
Falco gave a quick nod.
"Then here and don't shoot me," Zavis said as twin blue lights wrapped around his arms. He held out the shotgun and riot suit Ajax had given him to Falco and Katt.
"Bird-brains the shotgun's yours, Katt take the blaster and the riot suit. When we get to the top let me out first, I'll draw any fire and clear a way to the hanger."
"And why should we let you do that," Flaco asked?
"Because I can take more damage than any of you, and before you say anything you hit me with a charged stun shot that's the only reason I let you capture me."
"What ever," Falco muttered as Zavis turned back to face the door. Another set of blue lights wrapped around his arms as twin mini-guns dropped into place. Only a little further, Zavis thought.
Pepper sat in his office and tapped his paw on the desk. He reached over and pulled up the bases security monitors. He laughed softly to himself as he watched his children spread across the base. He smiled as a group of marines were over run by dozens of his drones, and other groups were betrayed from within by one of his fur-form children. Well done, well done indeed, he thought as each fur-form created it's own version of drones. His own star shaped offspring scurried in the lead as four legged beasts lumbered after them and bird-like creatures flew over them. Yes bring them all into the swarm he thought as he watched more soldiers fall.
Your really beginning to like this power aren't you?
Yes, this is what I've always wanted.
Good, now call all the fur-forms to the hanger bay and have them infect the capital ships.
Yes of course, that way they can spread to all corners of this system—no to all corners of the universe.
Pepper reached out to the swarm and gave the order.
Authors notes: Sorry about the short chapter but it's all I have time for. Might have a new fic up pretty soon so keep an eye out, it's going to be a big switch from the unknown so I'm not sure how good it's going to be. Oh well hope you liked the chapter review if you feel like it.
