Chapter 5: Heroes now Prisoners.
Ty found himself strapped to the walls by electric arm cuffs for some reason with his arms and legs spread apart and forming a X shape. He never knew where they were or what to do as they all looked around both curiously and with a bit of fright. Everyone else was like this too!
Ty looked down to see a glass wall and a control panel down below, undoubtedly for the animal who kidnapped him and his friends and family.
Ty looked to his left to find that everyone else was unconscious for the moment and he was on his own for this. He couldn't remember what had taken place.
Only Ty could remember what had taken place before he and Shazza were taken from their own home and he wasn't happy about the situation. The Tazzy tiger wriggled around as he tried to break free of the hand cuffs that strapped him on the wall but that didn't work, much to Ty's dismay. The Tazzy tiger sighed heavily as he recalled the previous argument he had with Ray. He had no idea what Ray meant by that nobody notices him.
Ray seemed seriously broken by this fact and it stumped Ty to a point where all he could think about was how his son was feeling this way.
Ty's eyes widened and he gasped in realisation when he remembered something. It was back when Ray was just a young cub/pup.
Young Ray was walking alongside his father and uncle with a cheerful grin on his muzzle as he hummed a small simple tune. Ty smirked happily as he told his son "C'mon, Sport."
"Coming, daddy!" With that, Ray ran quicker to catch up with him and he found himself falling behind as he heard some people whispering around him. The pup stopped in his tracks as a shadow was washing over him and Ty noticed this but since he was far from the action, he couldn't hear what was being said. All the Tazzy tiger could see was that his son was being held by the hoodie by a strong koala and he whispered something in his ear.
Without wasting a second, Sly insisted he sorted this out while Ty went ahead but Ty didn't want to leave his son alone so he stayed in the same corner and waited for Sly and his son to return.
Soon, Sly returned walked around the corner as he was holding a depressed looking Ray and giving him a small piggy back ride. "What happened?" Asked Ty in both shock and curiosity as he eyed his depressed son while facing his brother. Sly hesitated a bit as if he was coming up with something before he told him "Oh, uh...The man was just giving Ray a talking to so I just chipped in. Nothing to worry bout, Ty."
Ty, however didn't buy it as he thought about it but he eventually let it go and decided to bring it up another time.
Ty knew that this must have had something to do with his son's depression and he began pondering on it further and his ears lowered as he continued thinking before he heard some groaning coming from his far left and turned his attention to Sly who was just waking up.
"Ugh...I feel like I have been smacked with a frying pan..." Groaned Sly as he shook his head weakly and licked his dry lips but then he looked around at his surroundings until he finally spotted Ty and everyone else.
The brown furred Tazzy tiger smiled in relief but the feeling was mutual for Ty as he glared at him with an arched eyebrow. If he wasn't tied up then Sly could've sworn that his brother was giving him a quizzing look and Sly asked whilst arching a confused eyebrow "What's with you, mate?"
Ty replied sourly as he bared his teeth in a frown and he asked in a no-nonsense tone of voice "Sly, what happened all those years ago when Ray was having a talking to?"
Sly felt his throat tighten within that one question and his eyeballs were about to pop out of his skull. He tried to escape from the situation as he thought up of another lie to get out of this situation! Sly also felt his heart working double time as panic took over his system.
It was then that Ty had an idea and he smirked. He recalled the saying; Anger makes you stupid. He thought that if his brother couldn't tell the truth normally, and he couldn't force anything on Sly since he could yell and yell loudly, then he would just insult him until Sly slips up and makes that one, fatal mistake.
"Alright, fine. Don't tell me. I don't think that one who was raised by a bird could undah-stand." Ty closed his eyes with a smile as he waited for Sly to react and boy did Sly crack! "What did you say!?" Sly questioned as he too bared his fangs in anger and his whole head began trembling and the bottom eyelid of he left eye began twitching.
"Oh, youse heard me. Youse are nothing but a big, fat birdbrain!" Ty said as he stretched the word 'Birdbrain' at the end of the scentence. Ty knew it wouldn't take many insults until Sly would say it and honestly, he hated telling Sly these things. It made him feel a bit dirty but he knew that Sly would forgive him eventually. Right?
Sly was so mad that foam was starting to quickly seep through the gaps of his fangs and he began to thrash about despite feeling some pain in his head and he yelled, infuriated "HEY, IT ISN'T MY FAULT THAT YOUR SON IS GETTIN' IGNORED BECAUSE HE GOT THE BAD STICK OF THE BOOMERANG!"
Ty recoiled in shock as his mouth was agape. What did Sly mean by Ray got the bad stick of the boomerang? Ty just gave his brother a quizzical look as he furrowed his eye ridges as he tried to comprehend this.
Sly, just realising what he just said, hung his head shamefully and sighed heavily before he looked down and admitted in a softer voice "Ray has the negative end of your boomerang, Ty."
Ty was confused and startled by this news and his ears dropped but his eyes widened in fear and shock when he heard a familiar voice say "I'll take it from here, Sly."
Ty and Sly both looked down at the source of the voice and were shocked to the core to find Boss Cass who had clearly seen better days.
Half of him was made out of metal, kind of making him look ultra cool, and one eye were cybernetic and all of his beak was made of pure metal. Cass still his red scarf wrapped around his rather long neck.
"Hello, Tyberius." Greeted Cass as he folded both his real wing and his robotic wing and smirked. Ty growled as he tried to contain himself as the memory of the last time Cass had been seen. Ty had not forgotten about the time of when the Cassowary had threatened his family's life!
"Will youse butt out!?" Snapped Sly with a menacing growl, despite the fact he only discovered that his ex father was still alive "This is a bro ta bro talk!"
Cyber Cass just let out an evil chuckle and shook his head "Oh, Sly...You forget my rules." The bird pulled out a remote from behind his back and pressed a huge red button and this sent an electrical current through everyone, making them grimace through the volts pulsing through each of their bodies.
"Y-y-you MONSTER!" Roared Ty as he gritted his fangs through the pain and shut his eyes tight to try and get himself through the pain but this failed badly and the electric was so intense that not only did it awake the others, it also made all of their fur stick up and make them all look like balls of puff.
Cass released the button and the electrical volts had stopped painfully shaking the others and the half-robotic Cassowary smiled as he was satisfied with the amount of pain the others were in and told them while they were panting "You see, Ty. You're boomerangs are filled to the brim with this called 'Infitals' energy, enabling you to use those in times of need."
"Wait. Doesn't 'Infitals' mean Negative in Latin?" Asked Naomi while shivering in pain and gritting her teeth causing Sly to shush and rub his muzzle against her cheek and Cass smiled "Indeed, mrs Naomi! That is correct."
"So what? You drag us out of our homes just to give us a quiz on Latin, Mate?!" Exclaimed Ken as he attempted to lunge himself at the bird but failing miserably as the sudden volt attack drained a lot of his energy.
Cyber Cass snickered at this. Watching his arch enemies being electrocuted and then squirming about like worms was great entertainment for him but he needed to finish explaining.
Cass turned his back to the mammals and continued "Any who. Whenever the one who wields both these special boomerangs holds them for the first time, this energy is automatically transported into the wielder and this power can either do great good or do bad. When Ray was conceived, he was given the negative energy and therefore was destined for something in the enemies favour. My favour, to be exact."
Shazza gasped in horror and then narrowed her eyes and told Cass, never believing a word that was said "Nevah! Our son is destined to be good!"
The bird closed his eyes with a smile on his beak. How naive was this girl? He tutted before telling the group "Oh, really? If he is really to be good then how come his good for nothing father never noticed that he was constantly ignored and bullied by the folk?"
Ty shut his eyes in shame and frowned in the deepest of guilt. how did he not know of his son's constant pain and suffering? Ridge, noticing the legendary Tazzy tiger's pain, growled and spat "That is none of your business, Cass!"
Ty did not feel better at all and wanted nothing more now then to get out of here, ran to his son and apologise for being so tough on him. He should have known that the boy just wanted nothing more then attention and because of this, he was gaining a bad status. It wasn't a good status but it was a status none the less.
Cyber Cass stepped aside and gestured his wings behind him "But I would not be here if I hadn't had a little help!"
Suddenly a figure hidden by the shadows moved out into the light and he revealed to be none other than...Karlos, Uncle of Julius!
"K-K-Karlos!?" Coughed Julius as he looked down at the smirking old Koala and he watched as his Uncle moved forwards by moving closer in his hover device and Karlos flew upwards and pressed his nose evilly against his nephew's "Are you happy to see me, Julius?"
Julius felt his heart race and his breathing became laboured as his anxiety levels increased dramatically and his eyes fearfully shrunk as he shrunk back in fear of his uncle. Never had he been so fearful of his uncle and when Karlos stole him during that Quinkan period, he had kept his word and visited him at Christmas time but since he insisted that he was as far from the evil lair as possible, he had Christmas at his house.
"Leave 'im be!" Barked Rex the Platypus as he scowled towards the evil koala and his wife, Elle chimed in "Yeah! Leave us alone, creep!"
Karlos snarled before he hovered downwards and exited the chamber whilst muttering inaudible words and Cyber Cass told the mammals as he exited, without even glancing at them "You may want to wait until Ray comes to fetch you. It may take awhile."
The evil bird cackled aloud when he was out of the chamber, Shazza wriggled until none other than Maurie the Cockatiel emerged from behind her back and the bird coughed before wheezing "Struth! That was the most petrifying half hour of my life!"
Shazza shushed the parrot and watched as he squirmed and flew out of her pocket and told him in a hushed whisper, grasping everyone's attention excitedly "Maurie. Y'need to go and find our kids and tell them that we're alright and not to go after us! Can ya do that?"
Maurie looked into the dingo's bright blue irises before he gulped fearfully. He did not know what was going to happen but he rolled his eyes as he decided what to do and nodded "Alright, Shazza. I'll go and let the little Ankle-biters know that your safe!"
With that, Maurie flew out of the window up high and looked down when he was high enough and saw that the location was at a volcano and it was none he had ever seen before. It made his head hurt but it reminded him of something.
Maurie shook his head. He should be focusing on the task at hand and not on the past. He quickly flew into the air as he just hoped he could find the kids in time and that they had a responsible adult with them.
A/N: Sorry for the long chapter! I am just a bit busy. What did you think, BTW? I wasn't just going to make this about the kids, you know. This IS the Ty the Tasmanian tiger fanfic remember.
Anyways, what will happen next?
Oh and Infitals really does mean Negative in Latin. Do some research if you don't know.
