Author's Note:
Thanks to everyone who has been reviewing and keeping up with the series, I do not own the Chipmunks, Chipettes, or Ocs besides my own, Ivy, Cream, and Copper.
Thanks and enjoy!
A fine drizzle frizzes in the air slightly distorting sight, a large run down hotel hovers well above neighboring businesses in a less busy part of town.
They all peer up through the misty rain curiously sizing up the building, "How many do you think are in there?" Copper questions, Simon, Theodore, Jeanette, and Eleanor stayed back with Dave and Ike to give them information in the safety of Area 51 since none of them know how to fight or have some sort of powers.
Blade leans out of the window of a large black SUV, "Probably quiet a few, Anthrax managed to escape and for all we know he could be trying to gather up another army," the Beastling says.
"That's what I was thinking," Alvin mumbles turning to face the small group, he points to Copper, Cal, and Cream, "You three, you will be guarding the outside, making sure to shoot any Beastlings who escape and covering the buildings around the hotel, you'll be our snipers," Cal grins while Copper and Cream exchange knowing looks.
"Nathan, you'll take Max and Stripes to the higher levels and work your way down, try to stay out of sight and report to us the movement inside, don't get caught, you'll be our scouts," the three nod in understanding, "Blade, Vixen, and J-Rod, you'll be with Britt and I, you'll guard our backs while we are getting the humans out," everyone nods.
"Does everyone know what they're doing?" the rodent questions golden eyes studying the determined faces of his friends and family, "Yes!" everyone cheers a few saluting making him roll his eyes.
"Everyone has to report on their findings," Alvin reminds them, Blade climbs out of the car as Cal, Copper, and Cream take off to find a good concealed place with a wide enough shot.
Max and Stripes climb onto Nathan's back, the Madagascar fruit bat takes to the air soaring up through the mist and disappearing amongst the gray, Blade, Vixen and J-Rod look to the russet furred chipmunk, Brittany stands at his side quietly watching.
"Come on," he says and turns dropping to all fours he scurries off onto the sidewalk with Brittany at his side, Vixen keeping a steady pace behind them while Blade and J-Rod jog to stay with the fast little creatures.
"This place is a dump," Max slips between a few old paint cans her nose wrinkled in disgust, Stripes jumps up on top of one of them peering down at the color, "Yeah, and their paint choices are dull, who wants all beige and white walls?" the rainbow eyed Chipette questions landing beside Max.
Nathan peers around a doorframe dark eyes narrowed to see through the musky darkness that's settled into the hall and beyond, "I can't smell anything, it completely reeks of mold and dust," a water droplet hits the bat on the nose making him stifle a sneeze covering the end of his muzzle with a clawed paw at the end of his wings.
"I can barely see anything, let's start setting up the cameras," the three set to work in covering the top floor in small security cameras pulled out of Max's backpack along with a laptop.
"Why do we need all this stuff if we're just saving some teenagers?" Stripes questions as they hover around the device whirring to life, Max and Nathan exchange confused looks, "I don't know,"
"Their minds are so simple yet there's so many of them," J-Rod mutters as the four of them move through the basement of the hotel, a few Soldiers had been guarding the entrance but Cal had finished them off before they even got there.
"Can you tell how many there are?" Blade asks moving aside a rusted steel pipe that had collapsed, J-Rod slips under the Beastling's arm since he's only the size of a seven-year-old human.
" Well over thirty, not that much though," the alien replies, they had lost their 'leaders,' Alvin and Brittany had managed to slip away amongst the boxes and rotting beams, the floor is beginning to fill with water, the dark murky liquid pooling around J-Rod's calves and Blade's ankles.
"Where are they?" Blade mutters his dark black sunglasses resting on top of his head since there's practically no light in the basement, J-Rod's flashlight on his wrist twinkles off the water spilling a bright white light ahead of them.
"Alvin's near some stairs, he's waiting for us," J-Rod informs the Beastling, "Brittany with him?" J-Rod frowns a moment but then nods, "He's laughing cause she got startled by a spider," the alien muses a hint of a smile in his voice.
The two round a corner and J-Rod's light catches the sharp glint of Alvin's eyes, "OW!" the rodent yelps slapping his paws over his burning irises, "Ugh, J-Rod," he grunts in annoyance while rubbing at his eyes.
Brittany snickers at him wringing water from her black skirt, the Chipettes are also adorn in black track suits, their signature colors boarding the fabric just like the males except without the skirts.
"Sorry," J-Rod mutters flipping the light off, they wade over to the rodents perched on a small flight of stairs, "Sh," Brittany points upward just as the scuffle of claws on wood echoes through the air.
J-Rod and Blade look up waiting, the Beastling pulls a long bladed knife from the pocket of his pants red eyes blazing in the dark, "Let's move," he whispers getting soft nods from the others.
Alvin raises a paw to his ear and presses the small ear piece in his ear concealed by fur, "We're making the first move, we'll search for the humans, Nathan, you three head down if there's no activity up stairs, Cal, you three be prepared to shot some cowards," Alvin whispers into the air, "Roger," six different voices whisper into their ears as Alvin reaches up and presses his flesh paw against the door.
He shoves it open and disappears as the sound of feet shuffling over the floor fill the air, Brittany darts after him, Blade lunges upward not even taking the time to go up the stairs, J-Rod races up them his long legs carrying him quickly up and through the door.
A Flyer hits the wall just beside him, its skull cracked wide open, a russet blur whips through the air landing on another flying Beastling and punching straight through its skull, their only weakness.
A Soldier suddenly charges J-Rod, shoving through its fellow fleeing comrades to crush the alien, however it doesn't even get halfway before it's lifted clean off the ground and flung into the wall, it's bulkily body soaring straight through the plaster and bricks to land outside where the snipes are waiting to finish it off.
"Hey Bug Eyes!" the alien turns slightly annoyed by the nickname the russet furred rodent had given him, "Think you take over their minds like Stripes?" Alvin questions him darting backwards smirking at the Blinder; this Beastling looks like a lemur covered in a hard black exoskeleton its tail tipped with a small club, the poor thing seems to be trying to flee but Alvin dances in front of it grinning at it's feeble attempts to scare him off.
"Yes, this one?" J-Rod nods at the Blinder, "Yeah, they have a orb like structure inside the club of their tail which is like a hand grenade, you can use him to stun the others," Alvin explains as the Blinder turns away from him to ram it's small hard body into the chest of a Solider who was getting a little to close for comfort to Brittany who seems to have found the room where the teenagers are being held.
The Chipette glares at the locks ignoring the ruckus-taking place behind her as Nathan, Max, and Stripes join in, "Need help?" she glances quickly at Alvin who seems intact and blood free.
"Yeah," she replies stepping back just in time as Alvin's hind paw goes flying slamming rather harshly into the wooden door sending it crashing down clean off it's hinges, "This is too easy," the munk says shaking his head at the sight of ten teenagers cowering against the far wall, "We're here to help," Brittany informs them stepping into the room to show them she means no harm.
Alvin peeks back over his shoulder-spotting Blade slipping a knife from a Gasser's back, "Can you go get the car?" Alvin questions, the Reaper nods and darts from the room without trouble.
J-Rod's Blinder had been killed so he moved onto using a Solider, which is doing more damage to the remaining Beastlings wanting to fight, Stripes is merely making her brain washed monsters dance and do silly little tasks, Nathan and Max tag team, Nathan using the martial arts Chipette as a kind of furry bomb, he'd throw her at a charging Beastling then dive after her to help finish it off.
Alvin turns back around just in time to see the teenagers following after Brittany, the Chipette leading them past him and safely down into the basement all of them watching the fight with wide eyes, "H-hello?" Alvin turns around to the empty room confused.
"H-help, please?" he ventures inside golden eyes glowing brightly in the dim lighting, his paws barely making a sound as he crosses over to the closet, he flings open the door and his eyes latch onto the small figure that darts backwards pushing itself hard into the corner farthest from him.
Alvin stares down at the dusty chipmunk pup with cautious eyes, "Who are you?" he questions bending down on his hunches, "I-Izzy, sir," he replies shakily his dusty speckled honey brown fur bristling as his little cut up ears fall flat against his skull.
Alvin holds out a paw, "I'm Alvin, I'm here to help you," he informs the shaken munk with a soft smile, without warning Izzy rams himself into Alvin's chest his skinny arms wrapping around his torso.
Alvin stands holding the young rodent close, "Thank you," the chipmunk whispers allowing Alvin to cradle him like an infant even though he acts like he's at least a few months old, in chipmunk years of course.
"So Izzy how did you get caught up in all this?" Alvin questions heading for the door, no response, peering down Alvin's eyes land on the peaceful sleeping face of Izzy, chuckling Alvin carries the chipmunk through the carnage, his Team had moved on to check more rooms and to help with the humans.
Brittany stares at the little rodent captivated, Izzy stares back up at her liquid green eyes curiously studying her, "You're so cute!" Brittany cries flinging her arms around his little body, he's barely half the size of her due to his malnourishment and the fact that he's so much more younger, he's still a baby if you were to look at it as a human, to chipmunks he's pretty much a toddler.
"How old are you?" Brittany asks admiring his dirty honey brown fur, "Uh four?" the little chipmunk mumbles wrinkling his black nose in confusion, "I think," he replies counting on his fingers, "Yeah, four!"
Go figure he'd warm up to Brittany faster than Alvin, who had hidden the tiny thing from the others, he's pretty good at making things appear and disappear, currently the three of them are sitting in the girl's bathroom, Izzy sitting in the sink amongst darkening water and bubbles.
Brittany smiles warmly at the little bundle of fur as she works a warm clean washcloth between his ears, his long fur falling in wet clumps across his forehead, "Do you want me to give you a hair cut?" Brittany questions working the cloth softly around his ears and slightly into them, Izzy twitches but nods, "Yes please," the little munk replies eyeing the bubbles as if he were tempted to eat them.
Alvin raises an eyebrow curiously then vanishes into thin air making the young chipmunk jump alarmed, "Where'd he go!" Izzy cries frightened, "Don't worry he does that sometimes," Brittany comforts him as Alvin reappears without warning holding a plate with chipmunk sized sandwiches, so just a normal sandwich cut up into sixths.
"You hungry?" Alvin holds out the plate, Izzy snatches up three and shoves them into his mouth swallowing them down easily, then devouring the others, Brittany shakes her head and reaches down lifting the chipmunk out of the sink and wrapping him up in a pink towel.
"There," the Chipette announces proudly before planting a gentle kiss on his temple making Izzy look up at her like she was crazy, "Once you're dry I'll trim your fur," she informs him happily to which he nods and snuggles close.
Brittany softly strokes a soothing rhythm through Izzy's short lightly curled fur, once his fur had dried it had curled slightly making soft honey and brown swirled patterns on his body, Brittany stares down at the toddler curled happily under her covers his torso covered in a huge black t-shirt curtsy of Alvin, speaking of which.
"Alvin?" his eyes slip over to her lazily training on her troubled face, "Hm?" he mumbles, Izzy rolls over snuggling up against the older munk resting his face on Alvin's chest, his arms curled underneath his chest.
"Do you think he has a family?" Brittany whispers moving closer to them, Alvin holds a arm out to her as his other rests on Izzy's side the little munk smiling softly at the firm weight protecting him.
Brittany slips underneath the covers and into Alvin's embrace suddenly feeling tired as the warmth of the two chipmunk's body heat trapped beneath the covers settles into her own body, "If he doesn't we're his family now, I don't care what Dave says, I'm keeping him," Alvin responds stubbornly making his girlfriend look up at him startled.
Alvin stares down at her waiting, "Me too," she reaches over and fixes Izzy's bangs, " It looks like he's been in a lot of trouble," she stares at his ears, dozens of tiny cuts adorn them similar to Alvin's one in his left ear.
"He seems like a good pup," Alvin responds yawning, "Let's take a quick nap, hopefully no one will notice we've slipped away from the group since they'll be busy trying to get the teenagers back home," Alvin mumbles reminding Brittany that Alvin had somehow managed to get them home using his weird teleportation powers which the Chipette doesn't understand one bit.
"Yeah," Brittany agrees slipping into a warm slumber, Alvin slips under too holding the two close as all three of them rest.
Yup a new OC who belongs to me cause I thought we needed a 'baby' so to speak in the story, and Izzy does play an important role to which I will not tell you! So review now for it has come to that time once again!
