The unrest befor the storm

Rob O' the Hedgehog walked carefully around the Female bathroom, It was impressive to the teal hog, sparkling white marble walls; gleaming white tiles covered the impeccably clean floor. It smelled like lemon and pine. He ducked low to one knee and looked under the line of shining metal stalls, the hedgehog sighed. There was no one in the bathroom.

"Hershey? Can thou read me? I'm moving to look in the male Human bathroom, Have yee found Master Prower?"

The two reddish foxes stopped before reaching the door when the dead agent's radio crackled to life again. They looked at each other wide eyed; Bonnie turned and sprinted into the closest stall to the clean white door. Eli put his back up against the wall beside the door frame of the male restroom. Tucking the heavy pistol back in his jacket, fists raised, tensing up.

Rob O' opened the door to the human female bathroom. Giving start, he blushed and stepped aside, the two young and giggling human ladies walked in the room behind Rob O'. One of the women rubbing the teal hogs head spikes playfully and then turned her attention back to her friend as the door to the luxurious clubs rest room swung closed behind them.

The teal hog shook his head, the humans perfume lingered around his nose. His green eyes blinking away the curvy females distracting form out of his mind, he looked back at his radio. Still no reply, there was only one place left to check, the male restroom in front of the teal hog. He pressed a little red button on the side of his small hand held communication device tree times, his signal to Antoine that he wanted assistance.

He put it into its holster on his belt, and reached into his black blazer and grabbed the familiar and comforting handle of his pulse phaser. His two partners may have disliked the 'light energy' weapons, but Rob O' the hedgehog had natural aim, years of combat with his bow and arrows had made the Shakespearian hog extremely adept with the matt stainless steel device. It was his new preferred weapon; he put a teal furred hand on the door and gently pushed the swinging restroom door open, gingerly taking a step into the bath room, phaser at the ready.

Antoine D'Coolette was now stuck in the one disadvantage he disliked most. The distraction had worked, almost too well. The female, who referred to herself as 'Rebbeca' was now onto her third cigarette, and was intently explaining her life in great detail. Antoine sighed on the inside; the coyote was losing his patience's, when the grimy door opened behind her. A human with very dark skin gave an exasperated groan, "Rebecca! Your break was over like 10 minutes ago, come on we got drinks to make!" the tall skinny male pleaded.

Then Antoine's heart skipped a beat, his radio gave off three squeaks. "em, excuse' moi madam', May I use le facilities? I am afraid that 'ay have to relieve mah self. It's a cold night tonight wee?' he asked smoothly, the black human gave a shrug when his fellow employ gave him a look, "I don't care just make sure he buys a drink or something, please can we get back to work now?" the humans irritation working to Antoine's advantage.

The coyote had just stepped into the clubs staff room when there were three loud cracks, the two employs looked at each other in fear, it sounded like gun shots in the club. The panicked coyote ran out of the staff room, his heart sank; the crowed was also in a panic. They were all trying to get out of the building, Antoine gave a disgruntled sniff and proceeded to push his way past the ocean of scared humans and Mobian's, the bathrooms were so close yet so far.

Rob O' the hedgehog peered into the bathroom, sparkling surfaces making him have to adjust his eyes yet again from the dark hallway of the club. Squinting he took another step, the door swished shut behind him, another step, he gulped, another step and the teal hog had to force a bit of bile back down his throat. His heart ached, Hershey lay in a large puddle of her own blood, dull blue eyes locked in a endless gaze at the ceiling. The agent reached behind him for his radio, he had let his guard down, and Eli had waited till the last moment. The older Fox shot out a clenched fist, catching the hedgehog square in the jaw.

Rob O' clutched his aching jaw, dropping his high powered laser on the tiled floor, it skittered across the gleaming polished ground stopping lightly against Hershey's still feet. The hedgehog wasn't close to the speedy blue hero of Mobius, Sonic, but the teal hog was a skilled fighter, as were all of King Acorn's secret service agents. He recoiled on his feet; ducking low as the reddish fox let loose a wide swing to Rob O's other cheek.

The hedgehog kicked out, catching the older fox low in the gut, Eli's legs buckled underneath him, his knees cracking off the hard tiles. Rob O' switched feet, still in a ducking pose he shot out another swift foot, hitting Eli in the chest as the fox fell to his knees, sending him reeling backwards, landing on his bottom.

The fox coughed and clutched he sore ribs, husky eyes blaring at the Acorn agent, tail swishing angrily. Rob O' used every spare second to act, if the agent's athletic and combat recognized partner cold be killed by these Independence scum then he had to use every move the young hedgehog had. The teal agent dove forward towards Hershey's still form, he slid on her crimson life blood, grabbing his phaser as he slipped past his comrade. He rolled mid-slide, facing the fox as he slowed on the tiled floor, raising his energy weapon.

Bonnie had waited long enough; she had seen the tussle from the thin crack between of the shiny metal door and its frame. The vixens ears went flat with rage when she saw Eli get kicked onto his bum, that was all it took, she bust from the bathroom stall, pistol raised, squeezing the trigger Bonnie had to fight to hold onto the leaping metal beast in her hands. The Rebel had no formal training with human firearms; the three shots went wild, blasting plaster dust and shards of tile out from the wall above the prone hedgehog. Rob O' ducked and rolled, throwing himself into a steel rest room stall, then a louder, double bark of fire, and hot-lead sent rounds thumping through the stainless steel doors, the white bathroom light beamed through the holes made by Eli's larger .45 caliber gun.

Antoine cringed at two more gunshots, the crowd was thinning out, enough that the brown and blond coyote could wriggle his was to the back, the pounding music was silent now, the band members and staff of the club all had made their way to the exit in there mass panic.

Antoine ran once he pushed his way part the last of the humans, stopping outside of the bathrooms it wasn't hard for the coyote to figure out which one had his teal partner, he unsheathed his saber and with his free hand pulled his phaser out of his black blazer. Antoine could feel the old hesitation and fear creeping in the back of his brain; he gulped again and shook his head, raised a leg, slamming his foot into the swinging door to the male restroom.

Rob O' was lucky he had hit his forehead on the water tank of the toilet, as soon as he had dove into the stall he had seen Eli from the corner of his eye reaching into his faded leather jacket. Then two thunderous crack followed immediately by loud pinging thumps just inches above were his head had struck.

The hedgehog rolled onto his back, aiming at the legs of the two Independence fighters under his stall, squeezing off a crackling fizz, Rob O' cursed in his odd old English accent. The hedgehog missed, leaving a searing black spot on the glinting tiles under the tan marble sinks, both foxes reacted. Eli lunging backwards, sitting on the long marble counter slab which held the sinks. Bonnie leaped back into her stall, standing on the porcelain toilit bowl.

Antoine burst through the bathroom door, yelling at the top of his lungs, phaser seeking out the enemy; he leaned around the small wall separating the entrance to the rest of the room. With blind luck he managed to avoid the sights of Eli. Sitting on the sink waiting for the teal hedgehog agent to show his head he was startled by Antoine's appearance, his reaction was a hair off when he turned his heavy firearm at the other agent, 'Just how fucking many agents are there?!' he yelled in his head, squeezing off a shot. The colt 1911's dark slide reared back, ejecting a hot cartridge shell, but the coyote had managed to escape his sights, Antoine had seen Eli first and had stepped back behind the small tiled hall to the bathroom entrance. The coyote having to duck once more when he saw a red furred hand holding a black object appearing above the stainless steel bathroom stall in front of him.

But the coyote was lucky; Bonnie stood on her tip toes, poking her .9mm over the stall door, blindly firing towards the entrance, her shots again missing pitifully. The vixens balanced shifted and her booted foot slipped into the cold toilet water, twisting painfully Bonnie fell up against the steel stall door. She dropped her pistol desperately trying not to fall to the ground, knowing the well trained Acorn agents would blast her with their deadly phasers.

She wasn't quite fast enough, her fingers slid off the tops of the tops of the stall, her foot still caught in the toilet twisted painfully, Bonnie let out cry of pain as she hit her floor, reaching up too her trapped leg, the pain was intense, her weight was prying her calf bone, it felt like it would snap at any moment. But try as the vixen might the steel walls of the stall were slick and smooth with constant cleaning and she couldn't get a grip to relive the shooting pain in her foot and leg.

Seven stalls down Rob O' the hedgehog was relived and happy to hear his fellow agent arrive, also to see the traitorous Independence bitch crumple to the floor a few stalls up from him, the teal hedgehog took aim, but he was a honorable hedgehog, killing a foe, especially a female one in pain?

Eli was now above aggravated, seeing his sister appear on the floor of her hiding place yelling and cursing in pain enraged her older brother. Yet if he jumped off the gleaming counter of the luxurious bathroom counter would certainly mean getting shot and now with the new agent hiding just a few meters away the red fox, he growled and stood on the counter he was sitting on, intent on ending this game that had not gone the way his loving sister and himself had imagined. He took long steps over the sparkling faucets coming to the short wall Antoine was hiding behind. Colt 1911 cocked.

Antoine had to steady himself, he torn his sight away from the pock marks in the plaster and tile behind him, that was twice now the coyote had literally dodge a bullet. His sharp ears picked up on heavy booted footsteps coming towards him, he pointed the phaser around the small dividing wall, and took aim at the torso of the charging red fox, his enemy was skipping over the row of glinting faucets, running on the sinks counter tops, pointing the human weapon back at Antoine, the two combatants eyes were locked in death stares, both squeezing there triggers at the same time.

A crackling zap and a deafening boom, Eli spun, instinct telling him to recoil at the flash of the agents phaser, it thumped into his lower back, shoving the fox off the counter. Antoine flew backwards, smashing into the tiled wall. Crippling pain shooting up from his belly, the coyote let out an anguished yelp. Slumping to the floor panting hard, he clutched at his abdomen, his hot viscous blood soaking his grey slacks and black blazer.

Rob O' burst from his stall the moment her saw the fox charge at his partner, but Antoine had struck first blood. Eli lay on the floor, arms clutching his lower back, groaning and growling defiantly, the teal hog snapped his attention to his partner agent. The teal hog ran to the coyote's side, taking off his blazer and folded it, pressing it hard to his unconscious friend's stomach, he hadn't been paying attention. A burst of stars blinded the hedgehog, the shatter of porcelain ringing in his ears, Rob O' slumped over his fellow blacked out partner.

Bonnie stood over the two acorn agents, her shoulders heaving, half of a toilet water tank lid dropping from her shaking hands. She turned and limped painfully to her brother, her eyes panicked, he was crawling to the rear bathroom exit, one hand clutching his lower back, a thick trail of blood following the red fox. She knelt beside her brother, stroking his ears, "oh what did they do to you… here, I have to do this, I'm sorry… you know I am."

Eli's eyes shot open, he yelled in pain and pounded his fist on the floor, and his sister who had been rolling a ball of toilet paper into a tube, shoved it into the phaser wound in her brother's lower back. She then took out a similar black case as Dutch from her jacket pocket, taking out a syringe, but with a yellow label, different to the one the Doberman had injected the twin tailed fox with. She stuck it in her brother's neck, the male fox snarled in protest. But his sister just hushed him, wiping the beaded sweat from his brow.

Eli heaved himself from the ground, the adrenaline his sister had mistakenly injected in his neck instead of his chest burned, the same affect occurred, but the pain was horrendous. It made his blood itch; "FUCK!" he bellowed as he bolted upright, both hands clutching his neck and throat, his breath was heavy and forced. Bonnie grabbed his forearm, tugging her beloved brother to the rear door there leader Dutch had kicked in, making their escape.

A few minutes later Rob O' the hedgehog woke up to the sound of human radios, the clicking of Kevlar and steel toe police boots. He was on an ambulance stretcher; two male humans were leaned over the hedgehog. Flashing there small hand held lights in his eyes, fingers pressing his wrist checking for a steady pulse. The teal hedgehog turned his head, Antoine was still out, but the little machines the humans had hooked up to the coyote were beeping at a steady rate.

*sorry for leaving you all hanging, work is taking a lot out of me. I hope you guys stick around, this is a LONG story but one I've had brewing in my mind for some time.

Do Sam and Frodo chuck the ring into Mordor's lake of fire in the first few chapters of lord of the rings? Give me a break. (I'm not comparing my little sonic the hedgehog fanfic to the great J.R.R Tolkien, I'm just saying, lol) please don't forget to review and most of all, enjoy. Thank you guys *
