Chapter 17: Escape the City

"Fang! Fang, wake up!"

"..."

"Come on, Fang! Get your lavender ass up!" Fiona shook, screamed, and smacked. But it was no good, the sniper was down for the count. The crater created from the explosion had left the Weasel charred and smoking, and shoulder was roughly the same. Groaning, Fiona collected Fang's guns and slung the gunslinger onto her back. She quickly made her way back to the Marvelous Queen and adjusted herself so she could set herself and Fang down without the Weasel falling off.

Then the sound of sirens blared in the Fox's ears.

"Oh shit!" Fiona turned on the bike and revved off. Gunshots were heard as G.U.N. Soldiers fired at her, but Fiona was skilled enough to maneuver and avoid the fire.

"Shadow! Wake up!" Groaning from the scream, Shadow began to regain consciousness. He was a little stiff, and completely drained of energy, but he was otherwise alright, "Good, your alive." the bat Mobian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Rouge...what...Fang." growled the Hedgehog as he stood up, stumbling as Rouge supported him.

"Easy there," Rouge told him, "You haven't fully recovered yet." Shadow growled as he balled up his fists.

"I can't...let him get away again." he growled.

"Wow, these are some good seat! Did you see that boom?! Crazy, huh?!"

"..."

"Yeah, yeah. We should help them. I still don't see why Fang didn't want us to tag along."

"..."

"Well, lets go, buddy! Grab your board! This is going to get crazy!"

"...*sigh*"

It was bullet hell as Fiona drove the hover bike, desperately trying to get away as she tried to escape the city. But with G.U.N. soldiers around every corner, on every street, the task was close to impossible.

"Damn it all!" Fiona was already hitting the pedals as hard as she possibly could, but it was fruitless: the bike was already at its max as they chased her down like blood hound.

"Fiona Fox and Fang the Sniper!" a G.U.N. copter hovered above the criminals with a bright light flashing down on them, "You are under arrest for attempted assassination! Desist now or your punishment will escalate!"

"Escalate?! How much worse could it possibly get?!" Fiona looked down and noticed buttons on the bike. She quickly pushed one as two rockets came out the back of the hover bike, "Now we're talking!" The rockets thrusted as the Marvelous Queen hit rocketing speeds as it easily out ran the G.U.N. troops. "Send in Hot Shot!"

"The what?" Fiona couldn't fathom what was happening as more rapid fire shots soared past her. She swerved the best she could to avoid it, but the bullets came as if they were fired from a machine gun! Fiona turned around and, to her horror, saw one of G.U.N.'s Combat Walkers: the B-3x Hot Shot. And it was coming right for her!

"Oh fuck me!" Fiona barely avoided the charging Combat Walker as its driver gave Fiona a sharp look.

"Fiona Fox. You and your partner are surrounded!" Fiona looked back and saw G.U.N. cars blocking her way out as G.U.N. soldiers armed with guns aimed right for Fiona. Fiona looked back at the Hot Shot as her heart pounded. It's missiles were ready to fire and its plasma cannon ready to go. The feeling of dread and being locked up rushed through her mine as her fate was written before her eyes: there was no escape!

They slowly closed in on her as the Fox panicked. She could always grab Fang's guns, but the soldiers had her cornered on all sides and the Hot Shot looked ready to kill. Fiona frantically looked back and forth, trying to find some route to escape in.

(No! I won't go back to jail!)

"It's party time!"

Explosions erupted among the crowd of G.U.N. soldiers as fires, smoke and burnt metal flew through the air. The Hot Shot had no time to react as something practically crashed through it like a meteorite. It broke through the cockpit and kept going straight downward before it exited the bottom of the Combat Walker and the machine exploded in a burst of combustion.

"Woo hoo! That was awesome! Did you see all the frag and boom we caused?!" Fiona's heart stopped when she turned to the owner of the voice as a lone, laughing figure walked through the crowd of unconscious G.U.N. soldiers and destroyed vehicles.

"Bean?!"

"The Dynamite himself!" laughed Bean. Fiona turned to the remains of the Combat Walker as Bark walked towards her as well, dusting himself off as if he didn't go through a ton of steel.

"Bark?! How did you guys-"

"We tailed you guys to Station Square." Bean finished as he chuckled, "We were hoping for a show and got a lot more than we were hoping! Me and Bark killed off the popcorn before Shadow made his entrance!" Bark grunted as he turned to the still unconscious sniper. "Oh yeah, we should get going." Bean hopped back on his board as Bark did his. Fiona got a firm grip on the bike's handles as they rode off.

Commander Tower sat in his hotel room as he looked out the window of Station Square. It was dusk now and he was more than just furious at how The Hooligans had just escape G.U.N.'s grasp again.

"I don't know how these rogues keep getting away, but it's clear to me that they're not just a band of petty crooks." growled the Commander, "Something drastic has to be done."
