REVIEW RESPONSE

PurpleCobra247: Yes, now that Pranker is in her own body, things are getting deadly. Glad you liked that chapter. There's going to be two more key events in this story, one in this chapter and the last one in the final two.

acosta pérez josé ramiro: I'll read your story when I get time. Glad you were able to post it. I have to admit, I'm not in one place constantly. That's why I have a Yahoo e-mail. You're right about Jess and Zach being better able to fight Pranker better now that she's in a separate body but it also means that they can't get rid of her. Plus for a minus as it were.

Rock Raider: Interesting idea, but I'd never do something like that to one of my favourite characters. I will spoof Clayface at some point but I'm not sure of who the spoof will be. Either way, thanks for the review.

Nightw2: I'm not sure of who I'll use for a Clayface spoof yet. I'll have to decide on my own. Thanks for the review. There will be a bit more drama coming up in this story before it finishes. On a different note, would you mind if I added a teaser for our co-written story at the end of this story?

Meet the chief

The next morning, Jessica woke up at about 8:00. Today was the day that her parents were going to talk to the chief of police to try and get FoxFang off the wanted list. Now that her parents knew Jessica's little secret, she was unsure as to how well it would go. Lola did admit that it would take some getting used to. Jessica was unsure as to whether she wanted to go or not. She didn't want to put herself in the firing line of the police. The incident with Richard and Rebecca the night before had made her even more nervous. Having to go up to the chief of police would be nerve-racking. However, Jessica had constantly gone to the events that put her in the public eye. Her reason for that was that it helped keep FoxFang's identity a secret. The previous night, her parents had unknowingly defended her. Now they were going to knowingly defend her. Jessica knew that her parents would not betray her but she still felt nervous. She put on a night robe and went into the lounge, trying not to think about it. She sat down on the couch and was about to turn the telly on before she heard her parent's bedroom door open. She turned around and saw that Bugs had come out of the bedroom, dressed in his night robe.

"Morning dad." Jessica greeted. Bugs came over and sat on the couch, next to her daughter.

"Morning Jess."

"Where's mum?"

"Still asleep."

"Oh."

"Jess, can we have a quick chat before your mum wakes up?"

"What about?"

"Last night and later on today."

"Erm…sure."

"Jess, I realised a couple of minutes ago that we never thanked you last night."

"Thank me?"

"For saving our lives in secret. We were so shocked about the revelation that we never thanked you. So…thanks Jess."

"No worries Dad. Like you said, you would've done the same."

"Jess, you know that your mother's pregnant don't you."

"Yeah."

"Well, when it was old enough, did you want to let it in on the secret?"

"Don't know. I'll think about it. It will depend on whether he or she is going to be trust worthy or not."

"Ok."

"Was there anything else?"

"Yeah, about the fact that we're going to see the chief of police to get you off the hook."

"What about it?"

"Did you want to come with us?"

"Why do you ask?"

"It just that…if you come you'll be in the firing line."

"Dad, do you know what rookie crime fighters do to keep their identity secret?"

"Not really."

"They would isolate themselves from society and almost never appear in public."

"They would?"

"It's something Shirley told me once. The best way to keep FoxFang's identity a secret is for me to go into the public eye."

"I see the logic in that."

"And it's especially true being the daughter of an international star like you."

"True. You don't like being in the public eye but the Paparazzi were constantly bothering us after your birth."

"What about?"

"They were constantly asking questions about how the birth went, your health, your name, things we didn't want to answer."

"And with us having a second child we'll be in the public eye again."

"The point is, do you want to come to the police building when we make our case or not?"

"Dad, I'll come. I might be able to help with the case."

"How?"

"Remember my first battle with Pranker, when I told you that I was missing?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, I could recreate the façade that I was held hostage. Same with the Al Quaeda and Swackhammer incident."

"Are you sure you want to do that?"

"I've had several months of practice."

"True."

"When are we going?"

"Soon after lunch. Let us know if Pranker gets close."

"I will." Jessica smiled and then hugged her father. She was happy that her parents were on her side now. Bugs hugged his daughter tightly. His daughter was a vigilante hero, needed to protect the city. He wanted to help her in whatever way possible. Getting FoxFang off the wanted list would be the first thing. He wasn't sure how he could help afterwards but would ask Jessica once Pranker had been defeated, as that was top priority for her at the moment. Bugs understood this and was willing to wait until the current situation was resolved.

At about 2:00 that afternoon, the Chief of Police was sitting at his desk looking through some pieces of paperwork. They were the profiles of everybody in the city who matched FoxFang's physical description. He was looking at their history, their personal details and their health records. He was hoping to find anything that would give a clue as to FoxFang's identity. So far, they had no clues and everyone that had been interviewed had good alibis. Because of this, the Chief was at his wits end. There was an artists' impression of FoxFang, as nobody had taken a photograph. There were a few pictures of other villains on the notice board, most of which had been apprehended by FoxFang. There were several filing cabinets, containing the details about every criminal that had been apprehended. FoxFang and Cub also had a section but it was almost empty. This gave the chief of police a feeling of desperation. He kept on looking through the details at the desk, drinking some of his coffee occasionally, when the phone on the desk rang. The chief looked at the phone and saw that the reception light was flashing. This meant that the receptionist was trying to contact him. He slowly pushed the answer button to speak to the receptionist.

"What is it?" The chief asked.

"Chief, there's a group wanting to see you about some petition."

"Who?"

"The Bunny family." The chief of police stopped to think about this for a moment. In his eyes, they had a good alibi as to not being FoxFang but knew that if they wanted to see him, it had to be important.

"Ok, send them in." The chief of police looked up at the door and waited, looking at the door cautiously. After a couple of minutes, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." The door was opened and Bugs entered the room. He was followed by Lola and Jessica. Jessica had brought her DS with her, and had just put the game in sleep mode for the talk.

"Ah, Bugs Bunny and family. Do take a seat." The Chief greeted, pointing to three spear seats in the room. Bugs and Lola sat down on two of the chairs while Jessica sat on her mother's lap. Bugs was holding a file close to his chest.

"Eh, thanks sir." Bugs replied.

"So err, what can I do for you?"

"We'd actually like you to have a look at a petition for us. We put it together this morning." Bugs handed the file that he was holding to the chief. He took the file and had a look through. He was clearly disturbed by what he was reading.

"You want me to take FoxFang and Cub off the wanted list?" The chief asked.

"Yeah."

"And you put together this to show me."

"Yeah."

"And the first thing we want to know is why is he wanted in the first place?" Lola asked.

"He's a vigilante, that's why."

"Why is it illegal being a vigilante?" This question caught the Chief off guard. He didn't know how to respond.

"Erm…well err… it's because err…"

"See, you don't know do you?" Bugs asked.

"Well…no. I don't."

"I recon that you have a personal grudge against FoxFang." The chief began blushing furiously. He buried his head in his hands and tried to hide it.

"No! I don't! Its just law."

"Doc, even I can see through that."

"Do you think it's fair to lock someone away because of a personal grudge?" Lola asked. The chief didn't reply. He was starting to think about what he had just been told, but they hadn't finished yet.

"Doc, we all owe our lives to FoxFang. Me, Lo and even our daughter." Jessica climbed off her daughter and onto the Chief's desk.

"Mister. Last year, I was involved in two terrifying incidents. Firstly, Pranker captured me when she attacked us in our own house. I remember being sealed in some box, crying my eyes out, not sure whether I would live through it or not. Eventually, I was busted out by FoxFang and taken to Shirley's house. I still have nightmares about it. Since that incident, I've become scared of closed spaces and scared of the dark." Jessica was releasing tears as she was speaking. It was all faked but it was so convincing, even her parents began to believe it.

"And then, there was the incident when those creepy people and that alien took over the Looniversity. I overheard an order to apprehend me and my best friend pulled me into the air vent. I was so terrified. It was dark, it was cramped and I was being hunted. I really thought I was going to die. If my friend wasn't with me, I probably would have died of terror. Eventually, we fell out of the vent while falling asleep. When we were falling, I was expecting to feel a gun to my head, hear a gunshot and then see blackness, but nothing happened. When we landed outside the vent, FoxFang had chased everyone away." Jessica had gotten emotional with her speech. She was now really crying on the desk, even no what she had just said was only half true. Bugs and Lola were also getting emotional over Jessica's speech. Bugs was able to hold back his emotion to describe another incident with FoxFang and decided to speak about it.

"I still remember that incident when Pranker attacked us in our own home. We were woken up when she burst into our own bedroom. She released some kind of gas. I can't remember what came over us but we couldn't stop laughing. We then blacked out. Next thing I remember was waking up in FoxFang's hideout. He told us what had happened and that Jess was missing and then took us to the hospital to recover. About two days later, Jess comes to the hospital with Plucky, Shirley and Zach perfectly fine. FoxFang saved our lives and our Daughter's. It is so likely that we would've all did if FoxFang hadn't gotten involved. While we were in the hospital, our thoughts were constant worry about Jessica's safety. Our hearts were telling us that she was ok, but our minds told us that she was dead. We could do nothing but wait. Those two days were some of the worst days of our lives." After this speech, the chief of police was looking up at the three rabbits. Jessica was back on her mothers' lap, crying heavily. It was fake but the chief was completely fooled. Lola decided to tell of their first meeting with FoxFang.

"Last July, when the school year ended, me and Bugs went to the supermarket to do our usual shop. When we got there, we were attacked by a bunch of wolves. They nearly killed Daffy, Melissa and Zach. We were captured and taken to some warehouse and locked up. Their leader was Caesar Feralo. He told us that people had 10 days to pay up a huge amount of money to free us, or we'd be dead. We were so scared for our lives, but also worried about Jessica. For roughly 3 days, she was alone, only with Tweety and Aaooga to look after her. I remember on the first night there was some scuffle. Can't remember exactly what happened. The final day, we were rescued by FoxFang late at night. Bugs asked the guard outside for a drink. As he left, there was a scuffle and then FoxFang appeared. He opened the door and then went off and took out the rest of the gang. We invited him back but he refused. When we returned home, we were so tired and emotionally stressed. We had gone through a huge ordeal and were glad to get home. I have never forgotten the look on Jessica's face when she saw us." Jessica now appeared deeply in tears. Even though she was faking, she still didn't want to remember those times. The chief was now in deep thought. Bugs, Lola and Jessica had now made him doubt his own decision. He had ordered FoxFang's arrest but, because of this meeting, he now had doubts. He never realised how much Bugs needed FoxFang.

"Guys, wed better go. Doc, you think about what we've said." Bugs then said. With that, he, Lola and Jessica left the room, leaving the chief of police thinking about what he had heard. He now didn't know what to do. He still had hold of the file Bugs had given him. He didn't know what to do with it.

Later that night, Jessica had gone to the Foxcave, like she normally did. Bugs and Lola had opted not to go, deciding to stay at home and prepare for an Easter party they were going to hold next week. It was going to be a massive event, inviting as many people as possible. During the day, Pranker hadn't moved from her last position at all. However, when Jessica and Zach had arrived, she was on the move. To everyone's surprise, she wasn't moving towards Bugs or Lola's house. She was moving in a erratic pattern, but avoiding all shops and buildings. It was proving frustrating to pinpoint where she was going. Everyone was watching the computer screens, watching her move around the city. King was sitting next to Zach, watching the blip and waiting for instructions. Egghead J. was also watching the blip. He had put his current projects on hold, waiting for the Pranker to be dealt with before he continued with the designing.

"Why is Pranker being so erratic?" Jessica asked.

"She's up to something, but I don't know what." Shirley replied.

"If only we had an idea as to where she would be heading." Plucky moaned.

"Wait, where has Pranker actually gone?" Zach asked.

"Around the city in an erratic fashion." Shirley replied.

"Is there anyway to trace where she has been so far?" Taking the hint, Egghead Jr. began tapping on the keyboard and an outline appeared on the screen, showing where Pranker has gone. Everyone looked at the outline with a look of surprise.

"That outline…it looks like a banana peel." Jessica muttered.

"But it's incomplete. What would happen if it was completed?" Zach asked. Egghead Jr. used a different coloured line to complete the 'banana peel'. The group looked at where the end of the line stopped and gasped in horror.

"She'd heading to the city hall!" Zach exclaimed.

"Why?" Plucky asked.

"Probably to try and take over the town."

"I don't understand."

"I do. If she took over the town, she could put my family on the wanted list." Jessica said.

"Exactly." Zach replied.

"Come on Zach, we've got to stop her!" Jessica and Zach immediately ran over to the storage cases and pulled out their outfits.

"What's the plan?" Plucky asked. Jessica and Zach conferred between each other for a couple of minutes, discussing what they were going to do, before they turned back.

"We're going to wait until Pranker gets to the mayor's office and then ambush her from outside." Zach said.

"We'll need the FoxChopper." Jessica added.

"Right, let's go." Jessica and Zach changed into FoxFang and Cub quickly. FoxFang whistled to call King, who came running over to them. They went to the FoxChopper as quickly as possible. FoxFang jumped into the pilot's side while Cub was in the passenger side. When King was safely in the back, they took off and headed off towards the city hall, and prepare Pranker's welcome wagon.

A/N: Ok, next chapter will be the big battle between FoxFang and Pranker. I hope you enjoyed that chapter. Do you think the chief of police will change or not?
