Chapter four: The Dark Archer
Chance and Felina had been dating for about a month now. They were both happy to have each other. They were setting in the waiting room watching TV. Jake walked in the room with a glass of milk. He sat down in a chair next to the couch. Chance looked over at Jake and smiled unseen smile. 'I've got to get them together. He and Callie would make a great couple.' Chance thought to himself. Just then the alarm went off. Jake and Chance jumped up. Jake answered the call.
"Yes Ms. Briggs?" Jake asked.
"Razor the Metallikats are stealing money out of MegaKat City National Bank." Said Callie over the intercom.
"We are on our way Ms. Briggs." Jake said as he ended the call. He and Chance ran over to the hatch and opened it. The two got dressed in their G-suites. Chance grad his bow and arrows.
"Really Chance do you really think you will need that?" Jake asked while putting on his mask.
"You never know." Chance said as he put on his own mask. They got in the TurboKat and were off. While Felina stayed back at the garage.
T-Bone landed the jet on a empty building that was three building down. They wanted to get the drop on Mac and Molly. T-Bone and Razor move to the back of the bank. They could hear the Metallikats in the bank vault. Razor move to one side of the vault while T-Bone stayed on the other side.
"Hold it Molly I think I heard something." Mac turned around and saw T-Bone and Razor standing behind him and Molly.
"Hold it right there Metallikats!" Razor said holding up his glovatrix.
"Well look who it is, the mechanics." Molly said in a smart ass voice. Mac and Molly held up their guns and started to fire at T-Bone and Razor. T-Bone and Razor moved back to the sides of the vault. Razor moved and aimed his glovatrix and fried an electric missile. The missile hit Mac in the chest.
"Are you kidding me, I didn't even feel that." Mac laughed.
"T-Bone what are we going to do? That missile was not enough to stop him." Razor said while moving to the side to avoid the bullets.
"Maybe my arrows have enough juice to take them both out." T-Bone moved to grab to electric arrows. He moved over to the side and fired the two arrows. They hit Mac and Molly in the chest. They both yelled as the electricity went throw their metal bodies. The fell backward and hit the floor with a metal sound. T-Bone and Razor looked over and saw them on the floor.
Just then the two toms heard Commander Feral walk over to them. He looked and saw the Metallikats on the ground. He saw the two arrows on their bodies. Feral looked over and looked at T-Bone.
"Well at least you two didn't cause millions of dollars in damage." Feral said in a smart ass kind of way.
"You're welcome." T-Bone said putting his bow on his back.
After the fight with Metallikats, Chance and Jake were walking back to their jet. Jake sat down in his seat and looked up at Chance as he was moving to get in his seat. Chance was about to step down when an arrow hit him in the upper right arm. Chance pulled the arrow out of his arm and looked over to the right. Jake stood up and looked ahead and saw a kat dressed up in a black outfit. (Think of Malcolm Merlyn in Arrow)(And yes this is kind of like Arrow.)
"Who the hell are you?" Chance asked him
"I'm here to fight!" said the kat in black with a low voice. Chance and Jake could tell that he had a voice changer. Chance could see a bow in his hand and a quiver full of arrows on his back.
"Alright than" Jake said.
"Not you, You." He said pointing to Chance.
"Fine, You want me you got me. " Chance said jumping down of the jet. Chance moved the glovatrix onto his wrist.
"No the glove comes off. This fight is bow against bow, arrow against arrow. A fight of pure power." The Dark Archer said to Chance. Chance moved and took off the glovatrix off.
Both Chance and The Dark Archer grabbed an arrow and pulled back their bows and let go. They both moved to miss each other's arrows. The Dark Archer jumped down off the high part of the roof and ran toward Chance. Chance ducked down to avoid The Dark Archer's fist. Chance hit the Archer in the gut with his left hand that had the bow in it.
Jake watched both toms fight and could not believe that they were fighting almost the same way. They would duck and move to avoid each other's punches and kicks. The Dark Archer moved and kicked Chance in the chest which made him go backwards. Chance got his footing and ran toward the other tom. The Dark Archer moved out of the way and kneed Chance in the gut. Chance fell to all fours and tried to get back his breath. Once Chance got his breath back kind of he stood up as The Dark Archer got back up on top of the high point of the building. Jake looked back at Chance just in time to see three arrows hit Chance in the back on his right side. Chance hollered in pain and turned around with bow drawed back and an arrow in place. He let go of the string and the arrow flew throw the air. The Dark Archer caught the arrow in his left hand. Chance stared at The Dark Archer in disbelief.
"You have to better than that." He said breaking the arrow in two.
Chance ran toward The Dark Archer. Chance jumped up on the high part of the building were The Dark Archer was at. Chance moved to hit the tom but he moved and Chance missed. Jake could see that Chance was losing the fight. Chance turned back around and was kicked in the chest. He hit the side corner of the building.
"You are good, but not that good." The Dark Archer said. Chance moved his upper body to the left and broke the arrows in half. He yelled and closed his eyes as he did this. Jake watched in horror as Chance broke the arrows. Chance opened his eyes and saw The Dark Archer's fist coming toward him. He moved to the right. The Dark Archer then kicked him in the chest and Chance fell off the build backwards.
"T-Bone!" Jake yelled out.
Chance landed on a dumpster. He yelled out again in pain as the broken arrows were push in farther into his back. He opened his eyes and saw The Dark Archer with his bow pulled back and three more arrows in place. Chance rolled over to the right and fell to the ground just in time to hear the arrows hit the lid of the dumpster. Chance moved slowly and rolled back onto his back and looked up. He saw The Dark Archer standing on the top of the roof.
Jake had gotten out and down of the jet. He was running to see if Chance was okay. When The Dark Archer turned toward him and said.
"He will live for now, but he needs more training and then he will be the perfect opponent. You need to get him some help, if you want him to live." With that The Dark Archer walked away. Jake watched him do so and then turned to go help his friend.
"T-Bone!" Jake ran to his friends side.
"I'm fine." Chance said standing up.
"Are you sure?" Jake asked.
"Yes." Chance said firmly. They went to the jet and Jake got in and Chance got in the pilot seat.
"You sure you can fly the Turbokat?"
"Yes Jake I can fly." Chance said has he fired up the engines.
They got back to the garage and was in the hanger. Jake was about to asked Chance if he wanted him to get the arrows out of his back. When the alarm went off, they looked at each other and changed. They got into their overalls and went up to the garage. There they found Felina and Feral standing there waiting on them. Jake moved to let Chance out. The alarm was to let them know that someone was there at the garage.
"Where have you two been?" Felina asked as she walked over to Chance.
"Chance has been fight a kat in a black suite or what Chance calls him The Dark Archer."Jake said looking at Felina and Feral.
"What? Are you hurt?" Felina asked Chance.
"Yea we have to get those arrows out of your back." Jake said all three looked at him.
"That's going to be painful." Feral said walking beside of Jake.
"Thanks." Chance said while walking into the garage.
"Where are you going?" Felina asked him.
"I need something to bite down on don't I." Chance said walking over to his work area. He tried to find something that he could bite down on. He knew that when Jake pulled the arrows out that it was going to hurt badly.
"You should have seen them fight." Chance heard Jake tell Felina and Feral what happened. Chance turned around not finding what he was looking for.
"I think we might need to use your pawcuffs Feral."
"Why would you want me to put them on you?"
"Because a tom in pain is unreliable. I'm afraid I might kill you." They all looked at him. Chance quickly took a step backward.
"Chance you okay?" Felina asked.
"I'm…" Was all Chance could get out. They all watched as he fell backward onto his back.
"CHANCE!" Felina and Jake yelled at the same time. They both ran over to him, Felina lifted up Chance's head onto her lap.
"We have to get him help." Said Jake.
"I'll call for an ambulance." Feral said holding up his radio.
"No then they will ask what happened. I know I'll call his brother Anthony." Jake said getting up and running to the phone.
"How will he help?" Feral asked.
"Anthony is a doctor. He can fix Chance up. Hello Anthony this is Jake. I need you to come the garage and help Chance and bring your bag." Jake said in one breath.
A thirty minutes later Anthony pulled into the salvage yard. He jumped out of his car and ran over to Chance. Chance was still out cold his head was still in Felina's lap. She had her one paw on the side of his face and the other on his left shoulder. Anthony set his bag down and opened it. He got out some smelling salt. He held it under Chance's nose and Chance quickly woke up with a jump. He looked over and saw his brother.
"Anthony what are you doing here?" He asked still a little out of it.
"I'm here because you pass out and scared the hell out of everyone. Now what is the problem?" He asked looking up at Jake.
"Chance got in a fight with a kat that we call The Dark Archer. Chance got hit in the chest, the ribs; the head oh and there are three arrow heads in his back." Jake told Anthony what was wrong with Chance. Chance sat up and looked over at Jake with narrowed eyes.
"What, that is what is wrong with you." Jake said looked at his now pissed off friend.
"Just because that is what is wrong with me doesn't me that you tell the whole story."
"I didn't, just that you were fighting this kat and you got hurt."
"Don't worry Chance I know that you and Jake are the, you know." Anthony said looking at the Felina and Fearl.
"They know." Jake said without thinking. Chance looked at Jake and then back at his brother.
"How do you know?" Chance asked him.
"I know your flying Chance."Anthony said looking at his little brother.
"Come on we got to get the arrow heads out of your back." Anthony held out his paw and help Chance up. Chance stood up and almost fell back down. Feral walked over and stood beside him just in case Chance would fall again. Chance's knees gave out and Feral caught him.
"Jake go and get a stool for Chance to set on." Jake walked over and grabbed a stool and walked back. He gave it to Feral. Feral move the stool to where Chance could set down on it.
"You are going to have to take off your overalls and your shirt." Chance moved and did as told. Anthony walked behind Chance and looked at his back.
"Damn Chance this is bad." Anthony said looking at the wounds.
"Feral you might want to cuff me." Chance said while glancing to the side. Feral placed the pawcuffs on Chance's wrist behind his back. Anthony got out a pair of medical pliers out of his bag.
"Wait Chance do you want something for the pain?" His brother asked him.
"No just get them out!" Chance kind of yelled.
"Okay." Anthony said and put his left paw on Chance's back. With the pliers in his right paw he grabbed one of the arrow heads and started to pull it out. Chance yelled out in pain. Anthony stopped and looked at his brother.
"I'm going to go slow okay." He informed Chance.
"No just pull out." Chance said looking back at his brother.
"Okay." Anthony said with wide eyes. Jake, Felina and Feral all looked at him in horror. Anthony grabbed the arrow head again pulled it out quickly. Chance yelled out in pain once again. Anthony did the same to the other two arrow heads.
"There they are out." Chance took a deep breath.
"Now I just have to stitch up the wounds."
"Okay you can uncuff me now Feral. I can take the stitches." Feral uncuffed Chance and stepped back.
"You okay?" Felina asked her boyfriend.
"Yea I'm fine now." Chance said with a smile.
After stitching Chance up Anthony looked at the other places were Chance had gotten hit. He had broken and bruised ribs. He also had bruise that starting to form on his body. Anthony looked at his little brother and shook his head.
"What?" Chance asked.
"You are one lucky kat." Anthony said to him.
"How so?" Chance asked again.
"Your lucky that this Dark Archer didn't kill you." Anthony said putting his stuff in his bag.
"Well The Dark Archer did say that you needed more training and then his said that when you did that then you will be the perfect opponent for him." Chance looked over at Jake and then looked down.
"I do need more training."
"No you don't and you can't train while you're inured." Felina walked over to Chance and placed a paw on his shoulder.
"No I do need to train some more. If he can beat me then anyone can. I can't have that, I have to get better and stronger." Chance said narrowing his eyes at the floor.
"Why? Why do you need to get better and stronger?" Felina asked kneeling down in front of him.
"So I can protect you and Jake and everyone in the city. If not then I'll lose those that I love dearly." Chance said with a sad face.
"I cannot lose some I love again. Not again." Chance said with a tear in his eye. Felina could see the tear in his eye.
"No we can't have that happen." She said with a sad but in understanding voice.
