Here's chapter 34. This chapter focuses on the characters of Aggretsuko and Zootopia. Although if Sonic characters appear, these would be Shadow and Rouge.
Back at Carrier Man Trading Co., Ltd, it is already lunchtime. Fortunately for Retsuko and Fenneko, Ton never found out that they had both fallen asleep. At that time the four pairs of parents were in the break room having a can of coffee. At that moment they looked like Resasuke that the only thing he had there was coffee. But to be honest, they definitely needed it. As if that weren't enough, apart from Retsuko and Fenneko, Tsunoda and Resasuke also fell asleep during work hours, but thanks to fate their respective bosses didn't notice it either. That is why they decided to buy coffee, so that the second half of the working day would not be so heavy for any of them.
At that moment two figures appeared at the entrance. It was Legoshi and Jack. They were quite worried about their companions. They had planned to go together, but when they were about to enter the gray wolf saw the female red panda and refrained from her, as he still felt bad about the way he inadvertently scared her. At that moment the dog realized that his boyfriend was backing away and took her hand.
"Come on Legoshi, I think you need someone to cheer you up" said the dog.
"Yes I know. But with my presence I don't want her to feel worse than she already is, I prefer not to cause her more stress by not introducing myself "said the gray wolf.
"But Legoshi ..."
"I think it's better this way Jack, you take care of this. Then tell me how it went".
After that the gray wolf gave his boyfriend a kiss on the cheek and then left. Jack was definitely worried about that situation between Legoshi and Retsuko, perhaps he could help resolve that situation later, already after helping his companions.
"Hello, I can sit with you" said the dog to his co-workers and observing his other three companions.
"Of course Jack, sit down" Haida said in a tired but still friendly tone.
"Let me introduce you to Tsunoda, she is Komiya's wife. She works in marketing. And on the other hand they are Manumaru and his mate Resasuke, they work in sales" said Ookami making the introductions.
Jack was surprised to hear that Manumaru and Resasuke are a gay couple. That made him feels that he and his friends would not be the only ones who would have a homosexual relationship among the employees who worked at the company. Since apart from himself and Legoshi who were in a relationship, were also in a relationship Collot with Voss, and on the other hand Durham with Miguno. Louis being the only, who was in a straight marriage.
"Well, I wanted to talk to you, all morning I saw you quite worried, and I even noticed that Retsuko and Fenneko fell asleep during work hours. The rest of my friends and I are worried about you, and we want to to know if there is something that bothers them and if we can help them with something. Or at least help them to cheer up a bit" said the dog.
The four pairs of parents were happy that someone wanted to help them, although they knew that he could not help them with the issue of their children's cold behavior towards them, perhaps he could do something to lift their spirits a bit. At that time they needed it a lot. Although they did not know what Jack would have planned to do, but they did not lose anything if they did not accept his help. So everyone nodded to which the dog smiled and he even started wagging his tail involuntarily, although fortunately no one noticed.
"Well, if you have a little time, at the time of departure you could meet me. It will not be much. At most, half an hour. I will tell my friends and also Anai and Kabae to come. Are you okay with that?" asked Jack.
Everyone agreed.
Seeing that, Jack took out his phone and texted to let his friends and his co-workers know. He just waited for Legoshi to agree to go as well, although he had doubts that he would.
...
Nick, Judy, Jack, Finnick, Nicole and Jerry came out of the hot springs. It was true what they say about those places; they were quite relaxed and had forgotten all the problems that were running through their minds at all times. After the brief discomfort that they felt at the beginning that they had to be naked before going into the water, they managed to overcome them, although it did take them a little time to do so. They just hoped that if they had to go to such a place again the initial discomfort would not be present again. When they saw what time it was they decided to return to the main land, so they went to wait for the river cruise to arrive.
As they waited, Jack began to feel his agency dialer start to ring, so he had to answer.
"Hey guys. I'll be back in a moment. It's a call from the agency" said Jack to his companions.
"Okay, don't delay," Judy replied.
After, the striped rabbit found a secluded place to answer.
"Here, Agent Savage. Is there a problem?" said the striped rabbit.
"Good thing I was able to answer herself, I was already a little worried. I had been trying to contact you for an hour" said the female mouse.
"Oh sorry, we were in a hot spring and I couldn't get my communicator there. Did something important happen?".
"I understand. Well, I wanted to inform you that Dr. Eggman's base has been located."
"Really? How it happened?"
"Well, as you already know them, you will know that we were able to get in touch with Shadow and Rouge, and we asked that you not assist in our search. Rouge accepted, it took a while to convince Shadow, but it was achieved in the end".
"Oh I understand. Who are accompanying them?"
"Well, some of the top agents who are almost as experienced as you are."
"Oh, it's Honey, Morris and Hugo. Good choices".
"Yes, I also planned to send Agent Winter with them, since in case any of the ships were damaged she could repair them, but when I met her, she said that was busy with another matter."
"Oh, how strange."
Jack knew very well what she was doing at the time, as Finnick told him a few days ago that he was a old friend of Skye and asked her to go to Zootopia to keep an eye on Nick's mother and Judy's parents so they wouldn't try to come to Japan. He never imagine that two spies who work in the same agency knew and were friends with a person with a dark past, although it would be necessary to take into account the way in which they both became friends with him. Although something that Jack did not know was how Finnick and Skye became friends, since if Jack was honest he did not know anything about Skye, since they only had a professional relationship, and he never saw her outside of working hours. And on the other hand he had never managed to get Finnick to tell him anything about his past life before he met Nick, since what Finnick didn't tell him, Nick did tell him.
"Well, in any case, I was told that they are in the middle of a battle against Eggman's robots."
"Really? If they need me, I can go there at that time".
Jack said the latter very seriously, he knew that his friends and family would understand if he had to go on the mission to keep them safe in case another attack was planned against them.
"Negative. For now everything is going according to plan. Besides that I need you to stay in Japan, because if the plan fails and another attack is attempted in Japan, I need you to team up with Sonic and the others to stop Eggman or his robots. For the moment you continue what you are doing, I will be contacting you to give you more information about what has happened with the mission. I will also contact Sonic if he gives him the same information."
"It's okay".
"By the way, Agent Savage. Still my suggestion to take your children to safety is open."
"I know, and I appreciate it, but I think that at the moment the decision to separate the children is still not a good idea. Since we will not know when they will be separated from us and also their reaction to knowing that they would have to go with a stranger could not be very good".
Jack was right, if only he knew that his acquaintances from Japan are having almost the same problem.
"Well, let's make an agreement, if you suddenly inform me of a possible attack on that city or I find out something myself, we will contact you to take you to a safe place. Do you agree?".
"Yes, but first I'll have to talk to Nick and Judy about it and then I'll give him their answer."
"It's okay".
"Well, I'll be looking forward to your next call. Over and out".
After the call ended, Jack joined his companions just as the river cruise was arriving.
"Guys, there is something important that I have to say to you two: Nick and Judy."
The fox and the rabbit looked at each other and then at the striped rabbit.
"Is it bad or good," Nick asked, hoping it wasn't bad news that would ruin the rest of the family day.
"No, it is nothing bad or worrisome. But I can't tell you here in the midst of several people. Let's wait until we get back to the hotel" replied Jack.
"It's okay. That still doesn't reassure me though," Judy said.
"Yes I know. I know you too well not to realize it. But we better think about our next destination to forget about it a bit" said Jack.
They knew they had no other choice. That day they had planned to be relaxing and not think about any current problems that afflicted them. After that the six got on the river cruise to return to the main land.
…
Meanwhile, back in the middle of the battle, the agency ships managed to reach the base, they had destroyed the areas where the missiles were leaving. They also destroyed the robots guarding the perimeter, then with a spin Dash, Shadow managed to knock down the front door giving them access.
"Well everyone be careful, there may be traps hidden everywhere. Let us both take care of this" said the black hedgehog.
"We will let you know when it is safe to pass," said the white bat.
After that they both left.
Honey, Morris and Hugo who were at the front of the group were surprised by Shadow and Rouge's attitude. They could tell that for the black hedgehog and the white bat this was something natural for them, as if they went through situations like this very often. Although considering that they knew Eggman's customs in these situations, it would not seem strange to them that their assumptions were true. For a few seconds they heard explosions, heavy things falling to the ground, and even glass breaking. There were definitely a lot of traps there. It was good that they had Shadow and Rouge on their side.
After about five minutes, they returned.
"Well, the way is clear" said the white bat.
"Now follow us. And that no one is left behind, it is for their safety" said the black hedgehog.
The group went through several corridors being alert for anything that might happen, even though there were supposedly no traps anymore, one wouldn't know if Eggman could suddenly appear and attack them before they could do anything. They finally came to a room where all the lights were off, but they could see something glowing on a table. When they got a little closer they had a great surprise, since it was an emerald, but not just any common emerald, it was the red chaos emerald.
Well, so far the chapter. I can tell that in a future chapter it will be revealed how Finnick and Skye met and became friends. I hope you liked it and leave your comments.
