Chapter 04 The war against father and Son
Quanktumspirit: "Please review. It now points from 5 through 11. And despite that, I'm crossing most of my points on the list, ... This chapter is not as long as the others. Oh, well."
Friday the 13th of June
Today, everyone managed to get into work alright. Perry and Sylvia left the kids in the care of the nursery caretaker. The nursery had to be moved because of the fear of the RS's.
Everyone was trying to complete the missions and such as normal, as well as writing their reports out, but the fear and heavy pressures were lying on everyone's shoulders. No one could really feel happy, and some Agents were even scouting the area around the OWCA, just to see any sign of the Revenge Seekers.
But nothing was spotted. This time Perry and Pinky both went out together to scout the area, they climbed up the polls and scanned the entire forest around the OWCA.
"Are you sure Perry the attack was planned for today?" Pinky asked as he couldn't see anything unusual then from yesterday.
Perry was scanning the ground and watching the forest, "Positive Pinky. What better day to pick than Jimmy's own birthday. And today is Friday the 13th of June. It's like two stings in one. First, that I haven't been able to celebrate his birthday in 7 years, and the second is for him to actually want to harm the OWCA."
Pinky raised an eyebrow, "Jimmy was born on the 13th of June?"
"Yes. Edith told me as he first hatched that we would have to protect him very special every 7 years when Friday the 13th came round. She was petrified for his life, but I held my positive side to him alive." Perry smiled.
Pinky shrugged his shoulders, just as they were going to turn back to the OWCA Perry noticed something strange about the bushes planted around the OWCA... Was it his imagination? Or did some of them seem bigger than usual and moving?
Perry quickly turned around and shook Pinky's shoulder, "Pinky... The bushes are moving."
Pinky turned around, his breath stopped as he saw some moving as well.
"Perry, we have to get back to the OWCA now." Pinky panicked.
Perry nodded, they were unarmed, and from the massive amount of 'bushes' around the OWCA, which all seemed fake, outnumbered 35 to 2.
The platypus and Pinky quickly fled back to the building and locked the doors behind them. Perry ran to the Emergency button and slammed it.
A massive, loud siren rang and all the OWCA Agents were immediately informed to return to Headquarters. The LOVEMUFFIN nemesis permitted them to leave, and one by one the OWCA agents all came to the front entrance.
"Perry it's time?" Nicky asked, worried.
Perry nodded, "We saw several bushes moving, everyone has to get armed and remember your training."
All the OWCA agents nodded, and they all raced to the weapons OWCA cabinet, Monogram and Carl Karl handed the weapons out one by one, and then the OWCA Agents' animals all poured out of the door and stood their ground in front of the OWCA building. But as they saw how many bushes were there, they got the fear feeling coming back over them.
The Australian OWCA stood with Nicky to the left-hand side, each holding a gun, ready to defend the OWCA.
Before the attack could actually start, Nicky had to hold a serious conversation with Annabelle. He walked to her side and suddenly proposed.
"Annabelle... If we make it out of here alive... Will you be my mate?" Nicky asked wiles turning a bit pink.
Annabelle nodded her head, "Yes, Nicky, but let's focus on getting rid of the Revenge Seekers first."
Nicky nodded his head, he got back up and held her hand for a few minutes.
As the last OWCA Agent was armed and standing their ground, Perry walked forward, using a microphone he called out to his first son.
"Jimmy the Platypus. The OWCA knows you and the other animals are about to attack, can you just come forth, so maybe we can talk this out? Without spilling any blood?" Perry asked loud enough that every animal heard him.
Everyone watched the Revenge Seekers, the bushes fell, revealing all the animals, two cheeters moved out of the way and revealed Jimmy, Perry's heart rate shot up. Jimmy was now only a few feet between Perry and the RS's as he walked forth, holding a machine gun in his hands, and his eyes were cold as ice.
Perry so badly wanted to run up to him and embrace his son, but with about 35 animals all armed to their teeth and ready to attack, Perry knew this was suicide.
Jimmy got his own microphone and typed in his code, "What should we talk about, father? You brought OWCA's own downfall upon yourself."
"What do you mean?" Perry asked him in return.
"You betrayed my mother. She has been only dead for 7 years, and you have already moved on. Edith meant nothing to you. Your new family out of Nicky your son, Becca and Millie your two daughters, you never once thought of me or Rory." Jimmy snapped.
Perry blinked, "Did you say, Rory? You have stolen the third egg, just like the CCTV cameras have shown?"
"Yes, dad. I admit to that. You were to be stung back by having only 'one son'. I wanted to see your world fall apart by having no family left." Jimmy snapped.
"Jimmy, it is natural for a 'person/animal' to move on. It was hard for me, but I managed it. I didn't mean to have you in any way harmed. And I hoped I could accept you back into the family." Perry explained.
A lot of OWCA Agents smiled and nodded, but Jimmy's eyes remained blood-red, his temper was spiking.
"You are too late, f- Perry. 4 years too late." Jimmy snapped coldly.
Some OWCA agents shrunk back, Perry felt his heart almost break. Just then a gun was fired, and all hell broke loose.
All the 34 Revenge Seeker animals attacked the OWCA animals. Perry tried finding his son again, but Jimmy has suddenly vanished again.
"Jimmy?" Perry called and raced around the OWCA trying to find him.
Various animals on the OWCA side were being shot and attacked back so quickly and vicious that it actually took about 3 experienced OWCA agents just to stop one of the Revenge Seeker animals.
And it only grew worse, one OWCA Agent after the next was critically wounded, and Perry even saw a few were very deeply being hurt. Guns were fired back and forth. But still no sign of Jimmy. And the Revenge Seekers were rounded together and shot at as well to keep them in place.
Some were just arrested and accepted to be executed, but instead, they have hidden away. But Perry still hasn't found Jimmy.
'Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, where are you?' Perry thought as he raced through the OWCA.
Suddenly gunfire, close to his head, gave him the answer.
'Oh, there you are; son.' Perry thought and chuckled.
He turned around, but his son was gone again. Perry followed where the gunfire came, and he came to the second exit of the OWCA, whiles most of the animals were being attacked and wounded at the east front, Jimmy lured his father to the west half of the OWCA and right up onto the roof.
Back at the East front
Pinky and Natasha were fighting and capturing the Revenge Seekers with success, as most of the RS's were sitting behind bars they looked around, trying to work out where Perry has gotten off to.
They saw a young teal colored chap and walked up to him. The young Platypus, who looked about the age of Becca and Millie, was standing guard with an older female grey-furred Platypus.
"Hey, um... Kid, do you know where Jimmy has just gone off to? And who are you?" Pinky asked him.
The kid turned around and smiled at them, "My name is Rory the Platypus. 3rd born to Perry the Platypus and Sylvia the Platypus. My father Jimmy the Platypus has just chased Perry up onto the roof of the OWCA."
Rory pulled a set of binoculars out, set them to the right strength and handed them to Pinky, whiles pointing towards the roof of the OWCA.
Pinky blinked and looked through them. True to the kid's words, Perry was on the roof, and next to him, loaded with a shotgun, was Jimmy.
"Thanks, Rory," Pinky said, smiling at the kid. 'Perry, please watch out.'
Perry was running for his life, this was 10 times worse than his nightmares. Every few seconds, he had to change directions because Jimmy has fired his gun close to his body or head. But so far he wasn't hit by the bullets.
And he continued hearing his son say that the goddamn awful poem he made up, "Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, OWCA's unhappy, and my father will pay."
"Can't you just shut up?" Perry asked as he flipped again to avoid the bullets.
"Why should I father?" Jimmy snapped as he fired again, "It's the truth."
"Ok," Perry said as an idea, passed through his mind, "How much do I have to pay you for you to call off the RS's attack against the OWCA and for you to stop shooting me."
"Pay me? Nothing dad." Jimmy snapped mad. "You will have to die, to never betray another mate in your entire life."
Perry felt his heart break further, "Jimmy, please... Please, I'm begging you. I can't just leave Sylvia, Nicky, Becca, Millie, Rory or you behind? I have to take care of all of you. Please, Jimmy."
"Then I'll just kill you." Jimmy snapped.
"Before you kill me, Jimmy... Please... Please answer me these questions, honestly, and seriously. And I want the others to hear it as well," Perry said.
Jimmy blinked, he counted down from 10 to 0 but nodded his head. He pulled out a whistle, but then noticed none of the other RS's were attacking the OWCA anyway. They all just surrendered.
'Cowards' Jimmy thought, packed the whistle away and glared back at his father. "Ok, you have 5 minutes before I shoot."
Perry nodded, the fear on his face easily readable, "Question one: Why did you never return, if you've survived the Earthquake? Question two: Why did you steal Rory as an egg and hatched him out? Question three: Where do you live now?"
For 5 minutes, Perry thought those questions were the easiest to ask and get a good answer for. Jimmy gritted his teeth, but answered them honestly.
"Answer 1: I wasn't strong enough after the earthquake hit the OWCA. I had to grow up a bit and be able to walk back to you. Answer 2: I stole Rory as an egg because I wanted to hurt you, and for you to only have 'one son', and not suddenly 2 sons to replace me. Answer 3: I live now with my mate Issa in an underground burrow, about 2 miles from the OWCA." Jimmy answered.
Perry nodded, "Please... One last question."
Jimmy gritted his teeth, but nodded his head, "What else?"
"W... Would you... Would you come back into the new Platypus family? With your mate Issa and your son Rory? Please, I want you to be my son again." Perry asked.
Perry was shaking, Jimmy blinked his wheels in his head were turning, but there was still one sting for him from accepting Perry's offer.
"Despite all the destruction, I caused, dad? I have launched this massive terror attack on the OWCA to get my revenge against you, and you are think a simple sorry will work out? I don't think so. You will smash the door in my face quicker than I can get into the hallway." Jimmy snapped.
Perry sighed, "You are right, you will have to stand up for the terror you have caused, threw out the OWCA. But the punishment won't be too hard. I will help you get out of it, and never turn my back on you or anyone in my family again, ever. I promise you."
Jimmy blinked a bit, was his father actually saying what he never believed in all his life?
"Please, Jimmy... I still love you, like a father should love their son or any child they ever have. I love all of you together as my own children: you, Nicky, Becca, Millie, yes even Rory." Perry admitted, turning a little bit pink.
Jimmy shook in his fur, tears were building up, Perry walked up to him, disarmed Jimmy and then hugged him. It may just be a simple hug, but Jimmy shook in his fur. This is the first time his father has ever touched him, 'not in a perverted way mind you', since his mother's death, almost 8 years ago.
Perry hugged him tighter as he felt his 'first son' crying his eyes out, Jimmy shook more and more before collapsing on the floor tired, he shook harder, but Perry refused to let him go until he calms down again.
Suddenly Jimmy snapped out of it, he wriggled and pushed against his father to be let go. Perry blinked and let Jimmy go again.
"Ok dad, if you say so," Jimmy said and pulled the remote control out.
Typing in the code, the bomb packed it up and drove back out of the OWCA. The Agents made room for the strange device and using a code that Jimmy got in a text from Dennis, he deactivated the bomb.
Both Jimmy and Perry jumped down from the roof and landed exactly between the OWCA and RS agents. Monogram walked up to Rory, glaring at the young platypus.
"The OWCA is back safe? Will the RS stop now?" Monogram asked, glaring at Jimmy.
Jimmy sighed and nodded his head, saluting the superior, "Yes, Monogram, we won't attack anymore."
All the other RS members nodded their heads as well, they all didn't want to fight anymore. It wasn't worth risking your heads. Especially as the clinch of the revenge was now solved, especially between father and son.
The OWCA was now saved again, some doors were damaged because all the OWCA Agents and RS fighters were a bit rushing in their fighting, but with some skills, every inch of the OWCA was cleaned and rebuilt.
All the RS agents accepted Monogram's offer to train in the OWCA's way and become OWCA Agents too, seeing as they all had some impressive skills in their fighting ways. Only it was going towards being good and not bad anymore.
Today a podium was set up, Perry the Platypus, Sylvia, Nicky and Annabelle holding hands, Becca, Millie, Jason and Oliver were all standing to one side to represent the OWCA Platypus training group and Monogram and Carl Karl were standing on the other.
Both Jimmy, Rory and Issa were asked to come up to the podium and stand straight.
Monogram picked his speech cards up, "Welcome OWCA and RS, now new OWCA trainees. We are here to extend the 'widely successful' Platypus training program. So, do you: Jimmy the Platypus, Rory the Platypus and Issa the Platypus, promise to hold onto the OWCA laws, never harm or hurt another living creature, and complete the training program into your widely extended skills?"
Jimmy, Rory and Issa all nodded their heads and have given Monogram their soled oaths. They each were presented with their own OWCA hats.
Nicky handed Rory his OWCA hat and shook his younger brother's hands, Sylvia handed Issa her OWCA hat and shook her hand as well.
Perry handed the last hat over to Jimmy, whiles at the same time speaking with him through his eyes.
'I'm so proud of you, son.' Perry's eyes explained.
Jimmy tried not to cry, 'Thank you, father.'
After Perry handed Jimmy his OWCA hat, they too shook hands, and all the OWCA roared up in applause.
Quanktumspirit: "Brilliant. Everything worked out well in the end. But this is not the last chapter. I have one more to go before I can call this story finished. Please review."
