Bad Blood Panther Chapter 5: Rescue
*Mystic Ruins: Ace's House: Ace's POV*
I couldn't believe it, I'd been beat to hell by a metallic doppelganger of myself, my house was utterly destroyed, and the girl I'd been working so hard to keep safe, had disappeared. I started to break down, this couldn't be real, this had to be some sort of twisted dream..."NO! NONONONONONONO!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, pounding the dirt with my first with each scream. After enough screaming I reached the third phase of a breakdown, realization. "She's gone...god...damn it..." I collapsed onto the ground, soaking the ground with my tears as I passed out from blood loss and exhaustion.
*Chuck's POV*
I gasped when I first saw Ace lying on the ground, near his absolutely wrecked house. I run up to the downed panther and check his pulse, "He's still alive..." I think to myself as I grunt, lifting the panther from the dirt and lugging him onto my shoulder. "Don't you dare die on me you stupid idiot..." I mutter, looking around for signs of Ginger, but finding none. "What happened here?" I say to myself before walking away, heading back to my workshop deeper into the forest.
*Chuck's Workshop: Third Person POV*
Chuck walks into his workshop and lays Ace on the couch before heading back to his computer room. Stepping inside he sits down and starts to type in various bits of information, "Come on...there has to be something that was recorded that can help me..." Chuck had seen the alert from his cameras earlier, an alert that Ace's house had been absolutely trashed. Nothing had informed him Ace himself was there however, so he had to assume that the panther had obtained those injuries of his from somewhere else. "Come on...There!" Chuck yells in triumph, hearing someone groan out in the living room. "What...where the hell..." Ace starts, but Chuck yells from inside the computer room. "I'm in here! Found you passed out at the doorstep of your house!" Chuck yells, bringing Ace to full attention. "Wait, what about Ginger?!" He yells, silence filling the air before Chuck responds. "She...wasn't there." Ace hears Chuck mutter, causing him to slam his fist into the wall in anger. "DAMN IT!"
Chuck jumps at the sudden loud noise, "Calm down! I'm looking into where she went right now!" Ace seems to relax a bit after hearing this, if anybody could find where Ginger disappeared to, it was Chuck. More clicking and tapping can be heard inside the room before a soft "No way..." was heard. Ace instantly rises to his feet, ignoring him wounds, which also made him wonder why Chuck did nothing about them, as he walks into the computer room. Ace growls in anger however, as one look at the screen shows Metal Ace, carrying an unconscious Ginger from his destroyed home. "That bastard again..." Ace says, causing Chuck to look at him in surprise. "You've met this thing once before?" He asks, Ace nodding his head in response. "Yeah, it jumped me in an alleyway after I finished that job you gave me...speaking of..." Ace looks at Chuck with a sudden intensity in his eyes, "Who was the provider of that job?" Chuck looked at him with confusion, "A man named James Scotman, why?"
Ace sighs before continuing, "Because, 'James Scotman' had me murder a bunch of drug dealers." Chuck's eyes widen in surprise, "Wha-But why would he do that?!" Ace looks back at Chuck, "I think...'James Scotman' isn't who he says he is..." "Who do you think he is then Ace?" Chuck asks with a puzzled look on his face, causing Ace to shake his head. "I don't have a clue...but I do think he's the one who sent that robot, which means he's the one who kidnapped Ginger...Which also means we need to find him, pronto." Ace explains, causing Chuck to smile. "You sounded an awful lot like a certain blue hedgehog with that statement..." Ace just chuckles at the statement, "Yeah...guess I did didn't I?"
*An hour later*
Ace taps his foot in frustration, this was taking forever. "How much longer, Chuck?!" Ace yells, startling the fox before he looks back at Ace with an irritated expression. "As long as it takes! It's a better idea to make absolutely sure that we know her location then going on a wild goose chase! After all, since this is a robot we're dealing with he doesn't leave any signature of where he went, and he managed to cover up Ginger's too! Just give me some fucking time!" Chuck yells, causing Ace to recoil. "Whoa...alright...won't disturb ya again..." Ace mutters, turning and heading into the living room as he starts to pace, even though Chuck yelled at him he was still extremely worried about Ginger's well-being. "I'm not trying to rush you Chuck...I just don't want her to get hurt..." Ace thinks to himself as he continues to pace. "BINGO! I found her!" Chuck yells, bringing Ace to full alert as he swings the door open and rushes in.
"Where is she?" Ace asks, Chuck taping a few more keys before a large corporate building shows up. "Hanger Industries." Chuck replies, causing Ace's blood to run cold. "Hanger..."
*Flashback, the previous night before Ginger's kidnapping: Ace's POV*
I yawn, the day having been full of surprises with Swift's sudden arrival that I'd been all ready for bed, at least, until I saw Ginger's worried expression. "Ginger? Hey, what's up?" I ask the fox, the girl looking down at the blankets before responding. "I...I just..." She starts, but I stop her. "If you don't want to talk about it then don't." I say, but that doesn't stop her. "No...I need to tell someone...especially you..." I raise an eyebrow, what was so important for me to know? "It's...my father...his name mainly..." Ah, now I understand. If she was going to stay here, I needed to make sure I had a small note on who to kill when I saw this bastard's face. "His name is James Hanger...he's a wealthy businessman-" I cut her off, "I know all about this guy, Hanger is the owner of Hanger Industries, a corporation that manufactures...pretty much anything. Though there are plenty of rumors, rumors of illegal activities behind the scenes, most pulled by Hanger himself, his life is shrouded in darkness...I've had him on my hit list for quite some time." I say without emotion, Ginger looking at me with surprise.
"Oh...I-I see..." She whispers, surprised when I kneel in front of her and look into her eyes. "Do you want me to kill him?" I ask with a bland expression, causing her to widen her eyes in surprise. "Wh-what?" I sigh at her response. "Just say the word, and then he'll disappear, vanish, gone, never to bother you again. Can you manage to courage to ask?" I stare into her eyes, hers full of fear while mine are empty and void of emotion. "I...I-" I cut her off again, "Your answer is going to be maybe...then I'll tell you this." I stand, surprising her that I knew what she was going to say as I continue, "When you have the courage to say yes, talk to me about him again, until then, don't mention him...EVER." And with that I walk over to my bed, climbing under my sheets as I hear her rest her bed back onto her pillow, not speaking a single word after our 'talk'.
*End Flashback: Ace's POV*
SON OF A BITCH! If he'd only killed the bastard that night, if she'd only said yes...NONE OF THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING! I start to breathe heavily; I have to calm myself down before I freak out on Chuck again..."Alright...Plan of attack?" Chuck looks at me with surprise in his eyes. "What?! You're planning on attacking him? Ace...Hanger has control of the entire city! People don't like to say it out loud, but he pulls the strings on all law enforcement there, and he has his own private military-" I cut him off with a glare, a glare that would make even the bravest of warrior's cower in fear, "I. DON'T. CARE." Chuck keeps his eyes on me, finally responding after a long silence. "...Not before I prepare a few things you aren't." I smirk as Chuck sighs, heading off to make the preparations, hitting me in the head with a roll of bandages as he walks away, "BUT YOU PATCH YOURSELF UP FIRST!" I laugh out loud, this was going to be fun.
*Half an hour later...*
I finish cleaning and dressing my wounds, sighing as I tie the final bandages together. "I wonder if Chuck is almost ready yet...We need to go soon..." I think to myself as I hear a jet engine start, rushing out back to see a slick black jet with cream colored stripes start up, Chuck standing next to it as my jaw nearly hits the ground. "I-Wha-How-" I start, but Chuck cuts me off. "Meet the Twister !" He proudly proclaims, waving his hands at his masterpiece of a jet. "HOW IN THE FUCK DID YOU BUILD THIS THING?!" I yell at the top of my lungs, only causing a small chuckle to escape Chuck's lips. "That my friend...is a secret. Now come on! We've got no time to waste, right?!" Chuck yells to me as he hops into the cockpit of the jet. I scoff and jump up onto the left wing, gripping the bottom for it as I prepare for takeoff. "Yeah...he's defiantly a lot like Sonic..." Chuck thinks to himself as he lifts the jet off of the ground, taking off in a flash toward Central City as the two plan their rescue of Ginger the Fox.
*Central City: Third Person POV*
The city was extremely quiet for this point in the day, the streets were pretty empty and no one seemed to be shopping, save one or two groups. Nobody would ever suspect that today would be a day of excitement or amazing events…They were all wrong. In a flash, a black and cream colored jet appears over the city, causing the few people who are paying attention to look up in wonder, curious as to who is piloting the aircraft. Shortly after its appearance, several jets with the Hanger Industries symbol on the side fly up, firing at the jet despite no aggressive action being taken toward them. The black jet easily barrel rolls to avoid the missiles, which fly off into the distance and explode in the fields outside of the city, signaling the start of an intense air battle.
Chuck scoffs, "You'll have to do better than that!" The fox screams as he turns and flies off, causing the other jets to quickly pursue him. They rev up their machine guns and being firing at him again, the fox pulling up on the controls and circling over them to avoid the fire. In a flash he was the one behind them! He cursed his bad luck though, he had such a great shot, but they were still over the city! Chuck wasn't about to risk innocent lives in this little firefight. He instantly takes a right, quickly flying out of the city with the jets hot on his tails. They start firing again, this time Chuck pressing a button that pulls up a force field, blocking all of the bullets.
The pilots of the other jets look shocked as Chuck spins the plane around, the twin tailed fox smirking as he does. "Alright, now it's my turn!" Chuck says aloud, glad that they're over uninhabited land. He still felt a little guilty, these guys could've just been looking for a job from Hanger, but he had no choice. Chuck presses a button and twin Gatling guns emerge from the bottom of the jet, firing off hundreds of rounds and quickly knocking two the of enemy jets out of the sky, their pilots screaming as they erupt in flames. Chuck quickly takes evasive maneuvers to avoid the incoming missile fire from the remaining three jets, spinning his own plane around as he weaves in-between them. He then clicks another button, sending missiles at his opponents as well. Two of the jets manage to avoid the missiles, but the third makes a wrong turn, having a three missiles slam into him at once and explodes, killing him instantly and sending his jet to the ground.
Chuck frowns and prays for a moment before barely avoiding more missile fire, "I'll have more time to pray after I finish these guys off!" Chuck thinks to himself as he avoids more gun and missile fire, circling around as he shoots another jet down with his guns. Him and the final jet hover in the air, almost like they're in a stare down. The other jet pilot is sweating buckets, nervous as all hell, but Chuck was calm...too calm. So calm that he looked like he might just be solving a Sudoku puzzle, and not taking lives. The other pilot cracks, turning the jet around and trying to get away, Chuck just sighs. "I really wish I could let you leave..." He mutters with his finger over the missile button, "...But I can't." And with that Chuck presses down on the button, watching the missile shoot out and explode as it collides with the enemy's jet, the entire machine going down in flames. "Rest in peace..." Chuck says, then looking behind him as he notices more jets flying at him. "Why don't you all just stay away?" He whispers to himself before flying his jet back into the fray.
But the question was...where was Ace?
*Hanger Industries Headquarters: Ace's POV*
This was fun as hell.
It was the perfect plan, and these idiots fell for it. While Chuck was out there keeping them busy, making them think I was in the jet with him, I walked right into the front door, my coat covering my face as I did. I then took the elevator up to the tenth floor of fifty, that being the furthest that guests could go...
Then I started spilling blood.
I had flung the coat off and pulled out my twin pistols, Dawn and Dusk, and unloaded bullets into all of the guards in the room, causing the workers there to freak the fuck out. I couldn't blame them, but then again...I wasn't them. I smirk as more guards come down from the steps and fire at me. I jump forward, spinning my body around as I manage to avoid every single bullet that was fired at me. I land in front of the first guard and break his neck before thrusting my hand through the second guards chest. I then take him and toss him at another guard, shooting bullets through both the dead and living guards. I then dash forward at another guard who had started shooting at me, causing a red streak to appear on my face...
I made his whole body bleed red as I kicked him out the window, the bastard hitting the streets with a splat as his body leaked crimson blood all over the sidewalk. I laugh out loud to myself as I turn toward the last of the guards, the man shaking in absolute fear as I approach him, wiping my blood off of my face and licking it, just to freak him out more. I then noticed that the man had wet himself, what a fucking disgrace. Before he could completely lose control of his systems and shit himself as well, I zoom past him and head for the stairs. The man completely freezes; some people give a breath of relief as they think I spared him.
That is...until his head hit the floor with a thud. Every single worker on the floor completely freaks out, running for the stairs that head down while I head up, yep, this was going to be REALLY fun...I move up, step by step as I do. I'm really glad they made that elevator the way they did...otherwise this wouldn't be so much FUN! I kick the door down, causing it to smash one of the guards on the next floor into the wall, painting it with his blood as the other three guards on the floor panic and point their guns at me, firing like madmen. I easily avoid the bullets and appear near two of them, grabbing their heads and smashing them like pumpkins against each other before I use one of their limps body's as a boomerang, throwing it at the last guard and knocking him out the window as well, like I did one of the last.
I calmly look at the ceiling and kneel down, building up energy in my legs as I jump up, smashing through around two dozen floors, having grabbed guards from each floor to use as cushions for smashing through that many floors. By time I reached the 35th floor, I had a stack of 13 guards that I held over me, the seven on this current floor going pale as they see their fallen comrades. They all let loose battle cries and fire at me. I throw a guard at each of them, throwing three at the three men that had shotguns. They were all thrown to the ground as the bodies collided with each of them. I worked my magic and appeared all over the room, filling each of their heads with a round of my pistol before looking down the hall...that last room on the right looked suspicious...
*Cell: Ginger's POV*
Up until a few minutes ago I had felt dead, my father had shown no remorse toward me...sending wave...after wave...after wave of his filthy guards to do...whatever they wanted with me...I felt violated, if this room had a glass window...would I throw myself out it? My father had claimed that he'd killed Ace...so no one would be coming to save me...I believed him...that is...until I heard the screams. It sounded exactly like it did at the mental institute...but how did they find me so quickly? It hasn't even been a day...not even a-
CRASH! The door to my cell was knocked down, revealing the black panther that I had just been thinking about standing there, covered from head to toe in blood as he stares at me, looking up and down. To any normal person there would seem to be no emotion showing on him...but I could tell by his eyes...he was furious, angry beyond belief...and I broke down crying. Before I could even hit the floor he caught me, letting me cry into his shoulder as much as I wanted. After several minutes I pulled my head away, looking into his eyes again as they asked the same question he asked me that night...This time I had an answer.
"Yes..."
*Ace's POV*
She had finally given me the green light...permission to do what I'd wanted to have last night, but better late than never I suppose. "But first I need to get her out of here..." I think to myself, lifting her up bridal style, this time the girl not even reacting as I walk out of the room with her. When three more guards rush down the stairs I don't even bother to toy with them, shooting each of them in a vital organ before they have a chance to react. I then press a small button on a remote in my pants pocket, causing the black and cream striped jet to fly right next to our current window in seconds. I walk up at the cockpit opens up, "Great, you found her!" Chuck says as I jump onto the wing, lowering her into the seat and looking at Chuck. "Get far, far away from here Chuck...take her to safety." I say dangerously quiet, the fox looking at me in confusion before Chuck catches on. "Oh...Just...make sure you come back alive." I smirk, "I always do." And with that I jump off of the wing and back into the building as the cockpit closes, Chuck taking off at a speed that none of the other jets could hope to catch up with.
"Now...I'm going to end this." I say to no one in particular, shooting a guard behind me that was crawling away without even looking, before I shoot up to the 49th floor. My eyes widen as I collide with the ceiling to the 50th floor, my face contorting in pain as I realize this material. "WHO THE FUCK MAKES A CEILING OUT OF TITANIUM?!" I scream as I hold my face in pain. When I finally stop and look around me I chuckle, "Well now..." I mutter as the hundreds of guards surround me, smashing their fists together as I holster my pistols, "I guess I have some company."
*Play Animal I have become by Three Days Grace*
I laugh madly as the first guard charges me, swinging at my face as I grab his arm and break it off, knocking him down and beating him to death with it as the other guards watch in horror. I get off of the dead guard and look at them with eyes, "COME ON!" I scream as I run toward a group, the men trying to defend themselves as I shred them to pieces with a combination of my claws and Chaos Energy. I toss limbs all over the place, hitting several guards as I reappear on one of the stunned guard's shoulders, pulling on his head until I rip it off. The guards then all abandon hand-to-hand combat and pull out weapons, unloading them into me as I drop to the floor, blood flowing and pain filling my senses.
I lay there, believing that I might actually die...die...death...
FUCK THAT!
I stand back up, the bullets popping out as the guards all look at me in fear, a dark aura taking over as my eyes shoot at one of them. I dash toward the man and grab his wrist, ripping the automatic weapon from his hand as I head-butt him, shattering his skull and turning his brain to mush. The other guards fire into my back as I shake from the impact of the bullets, screaming as they all shoot through and the holes start to reclose as I whip around, filling a few of the guards with the remainder of the Uzi clip, their now lifeless bodies hitting the floor. I then toss the useless weapon at another guard, cracking him over the head with it before I reappear behind him, the man literally falling apart into millions of pieces as I do. The others abandon their automatics and each pull out shotguns and pistols, firing at me as I let the bullets strike me, walking forward calmly as they do.
I then pull out my own weapons, both glowing a deep crimson red as I do, and start to fill the people in the room with the bullets, one by one the men crumpling to the ground. I leave five left as I holster the weapons, smiling widely like a demon as I reach one of them, shoving two fingers through his eyes as he screams in agony, pulling his head down to my knee and shatter his head into pieces. Then I quickly run over to another, snatching his shotgun from him and unloading the final shot into his fucking dick! The man crumples in pain, crying as I grab his fucking pathetic head and twist it completely around, ripping his worthless head off and tossing it like a dodge ball at another guard, the pure speed sending the man out the window. I then reappear in front of the other two, my smile now gone and an absolutely enraged face appear with it. "You two...you're two of the ones who did it..." I say quietly as they crawl away, begging me to not kill them as they do.
"You both defiled her...did horrible things to her on your own whims, JUST BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD GET AWAY WITH IT!" I screamed at them, unloading bullets into their limbs, leaving them bleeding, but alive. The two had both shit themselves by this point, but I only laughed at their suffering. "Two more lambs to the slaughter...say hello to 'Lord Destroyer' down there, will ya?" I say with a twisted smile on my face as I bring each of my pistols to their heads, unloading bullet after bullet after bullet into their faces. When I finally stopped you wouldn't even be able to recognize the two bastards. I laugh madly as I walk toward the stairs, slowly and calmly leaving the carnage behind as I reach the door at the top of the stairs. I raise my guns, firing an endless stream of bullets into the super reinforced door as it refused to budge. I frown, then that frown changes into an insane smile as I grab the door, completely ripping that chunk of the wall out and throwing down at the stairs, destroying said stairs, also killing a few guards that were currently heading up the stairs at me and walking into the large office, my target calmly sitting at his desk at the back of the room.
*End song*
I smirk, putting my pistols away and looking at the man, "You're awfully calm, have you accepted your fate?" I ask Hanger, the man simply scoffing at me. "Death? I believe that it will be you dying today you pesky panther...you've murdered over half of my security staff, those men had families to go home to, wives and children-" I cut him off as I laugh, half of my mind already gone. "I DON'T GIVE A SHIT! They stood in my way to you, SO THEY DIED!" I scream as him, still laughing after I do. "It would seem you've lost what little of your sanity you had left...very well then." Hanger snaps his fingers, a familiar metal clone of mine stepping out from the shadows.
"Ah! Metal Ace, perfect! You saved me the trouble of tracking your metallic ass down you fucking scrap heap! Now I get to rip you to shreds, then I get to bathe in your creators blood!" I yell as I redraw my pistols, instantly putting the machine on high alert. "Come get some." I whisper with serious eyes, madness hiding behind them as the robot charges me.
*Play In the End by Linkin Park*
I fire a stream of bullets at Metal, who returns his own to block them all and charges me, knocking my weapons out the window. I look surprised as the machine knocks me into the wall, unloading into my stomach with a stream of bullets. A moment passes...and I laugh. The bullets fall back out as I smile at the machine, disappearing before I reappear in front of him, tackling him out the window. I hold on to Metal as he struggles to fly, throwing me off of me and up over the building as he rockets toward me, grabbing my leg and slamming me onto the roof. I grunt as I kick him off of me, back flipping to make some distance between us. I charge him again, punching wildly at his head as I weave between all of the strikes, roundhouse kicking me in the head, sending me crashing into a ventilation pipe and nearly straight off of the roof as I hold onto the edge, kicking off of the wall and back onto the roof.
I run at Metal, faking him out with a punch before I sweep his legs out from under him, then elbowing him in the face as we both crash back into the room below. I laugh as I stand, walking away from the machine and toward James. That was a mistake as my back ignites in pain, my mind registering that Metal had shot me again. I quickly spin around and tackle the robot through the floor, crashing through the titanium and into the blood stained room below. I go to punch him but he catches my hand, doing something I didn't expect. He rips my arm OFF. I scream in pain as he kicks me off of him, sending me out the window. My eyes widen as I realize one sad fact...
This was going to hurt.
I fell, and fell and fell and fell some more before finally hitting the concrete below.
*Metal's POV*
I look down and slowly hover down to the ground, almost certain that I killed the panther with that last attack. Yet I don't quite know, that same being has already survived countless gunshots from me, so he could still be-
BAM!
I rocket toward the ground as my rocket boosters were blasted by that same fucking panther! "YOU PESKY ORGANIC FOOL!" I scream at him, redirecting my fall at him and head-butting him with my momentum, sending him crashing into a nearby building. I flip and land on my feet as I start to walk toward him, ready to annihilate this stupid mortal fool. But before I can I am slashed at, the attacker almost catching me as I jump back to avoid the attack..."Identify yourself." I drone out, my attack smirking. "Swift, remember that rust bucket, not that it really matters… You're going to be scrap soon anyway."
*Swift's POV*
I brace myself as the machine rockets at me, swinging my blades at him as I flip over the bot. He manages to deflect them off of his arms, leaving slashes down them. He spins around and fires bullets at me, which I use my swords to deflect all of them as I run at him again, slashing like a madman as I try to cut him down. He dodges and weaves, surprising me as he kicks me up into the air, HIGH into the air. I grunt and redirect myself to the top of the building those two had come out of, landing on the top of it. I barely manage to roll to avoid gunfire from Metal as he fires at me from behind. I toss one of my blades at him, the bot just moving to the side as the blade plummets to the ground. I grunt and I charge him, slashing at him only to realize something very painful...
He just impaled me with his hand.
*End Song: Ace's POV*
I start to regain consciousness, "Ugh...god...wait...how am I not dead?" I ask myself, rising to my feet as I see a familiar blade stuck in the ground. "Swift?" I ask myself, my blood running cold as my question is answered when said fox slams into the ground, as I run up to him, grabbing his blade out of the ground as I do. "DAMMIT!" I scream as I kneel by the fox, the fool just lying there. I place two finger to his throat, my eyes going wide as I feel no pulse. "No...No...NonononoNoNoNONONONONO!" I scream. "He was only in the way...now we can finish our battle to the death." Metal says, my eyes shooting up to him as he descends from the top of the building. I look back down at Swift, closing my eyes before I notice my pistols over on the ground, Dawn being broken, but Dusk still intact. I pick up the black pistol, holding it in my right hand and Swift's blade in my left. "You stupid...mother fucking...PIECE OF SHIT!" I scream as I look up at Metal, this robot was FUCKING MINE!
*Play I am all of me by Crush 40*
I scream one last time and disappear, reappearing in a flash by Metal as I slash his final booster off of his back, surprising the robot as he plummets. I fire countless bullets at him as he falls, the robot countering with his own weaponry. I start to fall, smirking as I do, "Chaos...CONTROL!" Time slows down around me as I rocket toward Metal, using him as a platform as I land roughly on him, slashing him, not causing much more then scratches, until time restarts, sending us both to the ground in a heap. He throws me off of himself and runs at me, unable to uses his boosters any longer as he fires a few missiles at me. "HIDING THINGS METAL?!" I yell with a smile on my face as I leap over one missile, rolling under the second and grabbing the third, throwing it back at Metal's face who can barely bring his arms up to defend himself as it explodes in his face.
"CHAOS SPEAR MOTHER FUCKER!" I scream, sending dozens of the yellow projectiles at the machine as he struggles to avoid them, getting hit by a few before the entire groups smashes him into the ground. As the smoke clears he jumps at me, only just now realizing the dark red aura around me, "Chaos...BLAST!" I release the red energy around me in an explosive shockwave, sending the robot smashing through several buildings as I take my sweet ass time walking to reach him. "You tried to kill me...kidnapped Ginger...KILLED Swift..." I stop over the downed robot, slamming my foot on his metallic chest as he tries to rise, "And worst..." I laugh madly and look at him with deranged eyes, "YOU TRIED TO KILL ME!" I point Dusk as his face, unloading dozens of bullet into him before kicking him into the air, the robot helpless and unable to move as I bring Swift's blade back, supercharging it with the power of chaos. "FUCKING DIE YOU METAL PIECE OF SHIT!" I scream as I slash through the robot, causing him to explode into a million pieces. I look at his remaining pieces and start to laugh, "Hahahahahaha...HAHAHAHahahahahaha...HAHAHAHAHAHAH AHA!"
*End song*
I smile inwardly to myself as I look up at the building next to me, running up it and crashing through the window to floor number fifty, a stunned Hanger there, unable to believe that I'm still alive. "Chaos Control." I say blandly, time stopping as I run over and grab Hanger, slamming him down on the table and impaling him with Swift's blade as time restarts, the stupid brown fox screaming in pain as I climb onto the table, laughing madly. "P-Please! I'll do anything you want! I'll give you money! Make you famous! Give you hundreds of women-" I shoot him in the arm, cutting him off as he screams further. "The only fucking thing I want is her innocence back, but you can't grant that...SO YOU'RE FUCKING SCREWED!" I spit in his face, the man still pleading for his life. "Please, forget about her! She's nothing, just a whore who-" I shove the pistol in his mouth. "THAT IS THE LAST STRAW." Before he can plead any further I pull the gun out of his mouth and start to fill his pathetic fucking body with hundreds of bullet holes, stretching out his suffering as I make sure to shoot his arms first, though he was long dead before I finally blew his brains out. I look down at my handiwork and smile, I'd really outdone myself this time...Then I finally realized the biggest problem, I didn't want either Chuck or Ginger to be involved with me anymore...not like this.
Then my problem solved itself as I heard police sirens outside. I smirk, great timing. I run at the window, leaving my pistol and Swift's sword behind as I jump out and slide down the side of the building, the only thing bothering me being that Swift's body was gone, and I mean GONE. No medics had taken it...it just disappeared. "Could...he still be alive?" I think to myself, reaching the ground moments afterward as the entire police force aim their weapons at me. "FREEZE! GET ON THE GROUND NO-" The officer freezes in terror as he realizes that I'm the 'infamous' Ace the Panther. I smirk and spot the rather old looking hedgehog in the group, pointing at him. "You, come here...or I'll come to you." The whole force goes on high alert as the man I suspected to be the chief, which it turns out he was as I spot the badge on his uniform, calmly makes his way toward me.
As he steps right in front of my I smile, "Now...I'm going to make you a deal..." I start, the man frowning as I do. "And why should we make a deal with a criminal like you?" He asks me, causing me to smile widely. "Because I could kill you all if an instant if I wanted to...now shut up and listen." The man remains quiet as I whisper in his ear.
*Half an hour later...Chuck's POV*
I was currently watching the news for updates on what was happening down there, I had to force Ginger out at one point as we saw Ace smash into the ground, looking like he was killed by his robotic doppelganger, the girl now having cried herself to sleep. Currently there had been reports that he was still alive...but nothing more. "Damn it Ace...what are you doing?" I whisper to myself, then perking up as I another emergency broadcast starts up, the reporter droning out crap about terrorists and explosions until one sentence caught my attention..."The international menace Ace the Panther has just been arrested by officials and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of a trial." The reporter says, causing me to freak out.
"LIFE IN PRISON?!"
To be concluded...
