Intro ends.
Jack: Appalling, Just Appalling Not even that, Its… It's… Obsean! THere ought to be a law against it!
Katara: Oh' common Jack, Were in this village for five minutes and you worry over something like this?
Jack stared in contempt at the window shop, which contained several voodoo Trinkets.
Jack: They willingly sell dark magic!? What kind of vile minded simpleton would…
Dipper: It's not actually Dark Magic Jack, It's just a bunch of fake mumbo jumbo someone came up with for fun.
Jack: Dark Magic?! Fun?! Who said any of that was fun!?
Katara: What's up with you? Why can't you just… Lighten up for once?
Mark came out of the shop at that point.
Mark: Katara enough… But she's not wrong, Jack, You should get out more.
Jack: Just got a… Funny feeling is all.
He put a paw softly to his Scar.
Jack: Old war wounds acting up, Usually means trouble.
Dipper: You must have seen some pretty messed up things in the shadow wars.
Jack: Yes I did and No I still don't wanna talk about it!
Dipper: Right…
Katara: So, How's the restock on our supplies?
Mark: Going fine so far, We're just lucky we came across this village before we ran low on food, It's hardly been seven days since we left Omashu and we still have food problems.
Katara: You can thank Sokka for that.
Dipper: I'm just glad there's no more trouble right now.
Suddenly, Several gunshots were heard behind them, followed by the sound of flames igniting and people screaming.
Dipper: I spoke too soon, Didn't I?
Mark, Jack, Dipper and Katara rushed to see what it was and found a house on fire and people panicking and running,
Mark: What's happening here?
Villager: He came from nowhere! He's up in the trees!
Dipper: Who?
Villager: Some Talking Cowboy animal! Look out!
Mark looked up and saw gunshots being fired at him and turned on his shield to block it.
Mark: Dipper! Vana! Contact reinforcements, Jack! Help the villagers!
But Jack just stood there suddenly stupefied for some reason.
Mark: Jack!
Flashback
Prime Commander: Sergeant Jack, Report! What's your status?
Jack's mind went back to centuries ago, He was back in the Shadow wars. His Scar was not present on his right eye yet, and had the red fur of a younger fox, he looked out among the Battlefield as Fire Engulfed everything around them! Followed by explosions.
Jack: Dark Nation fire Everywhere, Commander, We're pinned down!
One larger explosion knocked off his feet and sent him hurtling to the edge of Him a hole.
Voice: Help Me!
Voice 2: Silence.
Jack looked down the hole and saw a young girl with brown hair and dressed in brown clothing, she was Cornered by two men in Black Armor and Firebender.
Prime Commander: Sergeant, Have you found the scout?
Jack: Affirmative Sir, Unfortunately So have the Dark and Fire Nation.
Prime Commander: I need her alive, She has vital intel that could help us find the Avatar, It must not fall in the Dark forces hands!
Jack nodded, then, he jumped into the pit and drew his sword.
Jack: Hey, Scum! Pick on someone who's not Injured.
Firebender: Kill the Fox.
The Two dark nation troopers charge at him, Their Swords drawn one clashed with Jack, while the other waited to get a good nick at him, Jack dodges and stabs the Dark Nation trooper through the chest, The second Trooper charged in, Jack easily overpowered him and chops his head off.
Firebender: RIght.
The firebender Ignited his fists with fire.
Firebender: I'll do it myself!
Jack: Common and try, You Flame loving- Whoa!
Jack quickly dodged out of the way of a fireball, The Firebender then charged at Jack with flame knives and tried to stab him with them, Jack weaved around his attacks and ran his sword through him, Than as his enemy lay bleeding out, he went over the girl
Girl: Thanks for that,
She grunted in pain as he tried to get up.
Girl: Those guys weren't your everyday cartoon goons.
Jack: Easy now.
Jack easily sat her down against the wall.
Jack: What's your name?
Girl: Adria… Sir.
Jack: Hmm.
Jack looked from left to right to see if there were more villains coming.
Jack: We'd better get a move on, Can you move?
Adria: I think so.
She slowly got up again and tested her left foot.
Jack: I think I only sprained my ankle.
Jack: That's nice. Now let's get a move on.
Jack took Adria by the shoulder and they hurried off, Just as an Explosion was heard.
Flashback ends.
Jack Remained frozen in his spot as a bullet zipped towards him, Katara: quickly knocked him out of the way, as the bullet hit the ground, then all at once, The Gunshots stopped.
Mark: Katara, Jack, Are you too alright?
Katara: Yeah, We're okay.
Jack pushed her off of him.
Jack: Yes, Yes, We are good.
Dipper: Good? Jack you froze like a statue back there, What happened?
Jack: I did not Freeze! Really I didn't.
Dipper: Who was shooting anyway?
Mark looked up.
Mark: It was coming from the trees.
While the Team is occupied.
The Shooter snuck through the bushes and watched the four figures looking at where he had shot at them.
Later, Back at the house the team were staying in.
Jack sat alone, drinking October Ale.
Mark: I thought you had enough of that drink?
Jack: Can never have enough.
Mark: Trying to repress war memories again?
Jack: Still don't wanna talk about it.
Mark: You know you can talk about it… To me, about it, Just us, Only us.
Jack: Are you finished?
Mark: Pretty Much.
He walked over to where Vana was monitoring the Cameras for the Attacker.
Vana: What's up with him?
Mark: Nothing, Anything?
Vana: I've been monitoring the Cameras for any further traces for the Shooter.
Mark: And?
Vana: Hm, He just disappears like the wind, As if he was never there.
Just then, Dib Barges into the room in a panic.
Dib: He's back!
Mark: What?
Dib: Mac and I were heading back here, When we suddenly got attacked by the Shooter!
Jack overheard the conversation and once again, his mind flashed…
Flashback.
Jack: Common Hurry!
Adria: It's too hot above ground, We'll go through here.
Jack and Adria made their way down a dark passageway, Unaware that they were being followed.
Jack: There! The end of the tunnel, We're nearly-
But before Jack could finish A gunshot was fired at him and nearly grazed him and Adria. They looked back and saw a figure standing there. As it came out of the shadows, It turned out to be a cat, With every cowboy cliche one can think.
Fleabyte: Well now, Lookie what we go here, What do you know, Freedom watch?
He draws out his blaster and twirled it like the cowboy he is.
Jack quickly pulled out his sword.
Jack: Adria Run!
Adria tried to make a break for it, but was knocked out by a stun shot.
Cat: Ah, Ah, Ah, Good ladies shouldn't be running.
Jack: I'll send you running Snot whiskers!
He charged at Fleabyte, Who knocked him out with one punch.
Flashback.
Dipper's voice: Hey! Fox Guy!
Jack: Huh?
Dipper: Didn't you hear Mark? We're going after the shooter.
Jack: Okay, Okay, I'm coming.
Jack quickly took his sword and scabbard.
Meanwhile,
Mac was shooting at the trees, When the rest of the team arrived.
Mark: What's the Status?
Mac: This guys quick I can't see him.
Mark: Aang, Katara, Sokka, Get the villagers to safety, The rest of you With me!
He quickly went after the Shooter, With Dipper, Vana, Dib, Mac and Jack following, They chased it into the woods where they each split up to head it off.
Mark: Dipper, Follow me!
The two chased the figure as it jumped down from the trees. It pulled out a gun and fired a couple rounds at Mark, Who used his shield to block them, Dipper fired a few blasts of his own, Causing the Shooter to flee to the left, Where Dib and Vana continued the pursuit from there.
Vana: Mac! Jack! He's heading your way!
Mac and Jack rounded a corner and confronted the Shooter, Who jumped into a tree and fired a knockout shot at Mac.
Mac: Gah
Mac quickly fell down, Unconscious.
Shooter: Ye-Hah!
The stranger then Disappears into the trees once more, As Jack looked on in horror.
Jack: Knockout shots… Catlike reflexes… And that phrase… No it can't be…
Flashback.
Jack: (Wakes up in a dark room, And is tied up, He looks around For Adria.) Adria…? Where are you…?
Fleabyte: Don't you worry yourself None, Foxxy. She's alright, For now…
Jack: If you plan to end me, Get it done, Dark nation scum, That is if that's an insult I can call you.
Fleabyte: Cause I ain't from them, Fox. Names Fleabyte, I'm what you call, A bounty Hunter, The Triaxis Powers pay me a lot of good money to capture goody two shoes like you, And that's surprising considering your… Type.
Mark's voice: This way!
Flashback ends.
Jack gasped,
Mark: (Chops down the tree the shooter is hiding in with his Sabere.)
Dipper: (Aims his gun on the Shooter as he Emerges from the fallen tree.)
Mark: Place your hands behind your head, Villain.
Fleabyte: (Gets up off the Ground and turns around.) Oh, Scary a little boy with a gun and… What his, Obi-wan kenobi? Without charm?
Mark: Hey!
Dipper: Who are you?
Fleabyte: Call me Fleabyte! (Pulls out two guns and fires stun shots at both of them, Knocking them out.)
Jack: (Runs up trying to stop Fleabyte, But Fleabyte, Throws a smoke bomb and disappears.) Mark! Dipper! NOOO!
Later.
Vana: I couldn't get a reading on Dipper, Mark The Chaos Emerald or the cowboy cat.
Aang: This guy must have some serious tech on him if he can mask Chaos energy.
Katara: I'll say.
Mac: What do we do now?
Sokka: Who is that guy anyway?
Jack: What are you asking me for? Not like I met that guy in a bar!
Dib: Something you're not telling us about that cowboy cat?
Jack: That Cowboy cat… Is a villain, Pretty obvious I know, His name's Fleabyte, And he was the one who captured me in the shadow wars, The one who did this to me.
He pointed to his scar before speaking again.
Jack: He's a bounty Hunter.
Meanwhile,
Jack's voice: He was in the employ of the Triaxis when they were making their big push against the Royal senate, He hasn't been seen since their defeat… I don't know how he's lived this long… But he's somehow exactly as I remember…
Dipper and Mark both found themselves tied up and were struggling to get themselves free.
Dipper: Where's the Emerald?!
Fleabyte: Aw, What's the Matter Dipper Pines, Did I take your wittle toy away from you and your uncle?
Dipper: How do you know who we are?
Fleabyte: It's my business to know, What with the bounty for the Freedom watch scout team, Who've been harboring a Chaos Emerald.
Dipper: What Bounty?
Fleabyte: The one issued By Lord Jargafars Lieutenants, They want that Emerald y'all have been harboring, and I'm just the cat to give it to them.
Mark: You can't! If they get that Emerald, They'll give it to Jargafar and…
Fleabyte: Not my Problem, All I know is when I give them what they want, I get the greatest payment of my Career.
Dipper: Our team will find you before you can even get to Jargafars flunkies.
Fleabyte: Oh I'm counting on it.
Meanwhile,
Dib: We've been searching for hours, We're never gonna find them.
Jack: Fleabyte was hiding in plain sight, Casing us the whole time! And we bought it, Hook line and-
Katara: Wait! Hiding in plain sight? That's the answer!
Vana: What do you-? Of Course!
Vana quickly pulled out a map.
Vana: This is the layout of the forest, where Dipper and Mark were taken, Three days ago.
She pulled out another map.
Sokka: Hey! Where did that tree go?
Vana: It was never there.
Jack: A holographic cloak.
Mac: Probably masking Fleabytes vehicle or ship.
Aang: Common, Lets go kick that Pussycats tail!
Jack: I… Can't go back there.
Dib: Are you crazy!? This is Dipper and Our lieutenant were talking about!
Mac: No time to argue, Common.
Meanwhile,
Eggman Cluny and Tak appeared on a computer screen as they talked to Fleabyte.
Cluny: You have Dipper Pines and his Uncle? Give them to us! And the Chaos Emerald too.
Fleabyte: Not before I get my Payment.
Tak: Patience, My friend, You'r services will be satisfied, Provided We are satisfied with your results.
Fleabyte: I got the Emerald, What more do you want?
Eggman: Conformation, Concerning the Avatar.
Fleabyte: That one? He's long gone.
Tak: The various Elemental Island temples say otherwise, As do reports from France and Omashu.
Cluny: If you can, We would like him captured as well.
Fleabyte: Fine, then will I get my pay?
Eggman: That depends solely on your Performance.
The Screen turned off.
Meanwhile,
Mac, Dib, Vana, Aang, Katara and Sokka soon arrived at the entrance to Fleabytes lair.
Vana: This bounty Hunter's smart, We must be smarter.
Katara: Vana's right, We need to proceed with caution.
Sokka: No time, Lets get him!
He quickly charged in
Mac: Wait!
With Fleabyte.
Fleabyte looked up at the screen showing the Freedom watch.
Fleabyte: Rotten Freedom watch, Predictable as ever…. Oh well, At least there could be some fun, Heh, Heh, Heh, Heh, Heh….
Outside.
Giant buzzsaws suddenly appeared from the trees and shot at the Heroes. Aang and Katara dodged them as best as they could, Dib took cover behind a tree stump, while Vana tackled Sokka to the ground to save him from an oncoming blade, Mac then spotted something in the tree.
Mac: There!
Mac quickly fired his rifle at whatever he saw. And after a few moments, The saw blades stopped attacking.
Katara: What was that?!
Vana picked up one of the saw blades and examined it.
Vana: Motion Blades, A pretty Advanced and Deadly trap.
Fleabyte: Well, I'm flattered you think so little missy.
At once, Fleabyte emerged from the Tree.
Vana: Give us back our Commanding officer!... And Dipper.
Fleabyte: No can do, Little Girl.
He Reached for what was assumed to be his Gun.
Dib: Get Him!
He, Vana and Mac charged at him, only for Fleabtye to throw a grenade at them, which trapped them all in Carbon Foam.
Mac: Hey! No fair!
Fleabyte: Didn't say I was fair.
He ran off in the opposite direction, Sokka and Katara went after him next, They quickly cornered him at the edge of a lake.
Katara: Nowhere left to run, Bounty Hunter!
She quickly tries to use Waterbending on the lake to try and capture Fleabtye, But she ends up freezing Sokka By Accident, Again.
Soka: Really?
Katara: God-
Fleabyte quickly punched her in the face, knocking her out.
Fleabyte: Language…
A blast of wind suddenly knocked him into a tree.
Aang: Leave her alone!
Fleabyte: Heh, Don't think I forgot about you, I'll admit, I wasn't expecting any airbender types, would Cross my path.
Aang: Not even the Avatar?
Fleabyte: Oh, So the rumors were true.
Fleabyte drew out his Guns.
Fleabyte: This'll be fun.
Fleabyte fired at Aang. Who conjured an air current and used it to redirect the bullets back at him, The Bounty Hunter ducked out of the way and pounced on Aang, knocking him out with a single punch and threw him onto a Rock.
Fleabyte: I would have thought you'd put up more of a challenge, Oh well, Don't matter now, Lord Jargafars lot are gonna pay me double for the addition of you.
Jack: Step Away from the Airbender!
Fleabyte Looks behind him and saw Jack.
Fleabyte: Y'all look familiar… Wait? Shadow War right? You took my arm!
He Flexes His Robotic arm.
Fleabyte: You just got away with a scar, And time hadn't done you no justice Ain't it?
Jack: How did you live this long into the Present?
Fleabyte: Just some time travel shit the Dark Nation knew, You?
Jack just growled.
Jack: You'll never snatch another hero again!
Fleabyte: No? Who in tarnations gonna stop me?
Jack: I am.
Fleabyte: Are you? Good, I was hoping to get back at you for the Arm.
Jack: About that, Look there's a Chaos Emerald!
Fleabyte: Where?!
Jack Knocks him out cold.
Jack: Works every time.
Jack then walked over to where he guessed the door would be, and opened it to reveal a hole leading down to where Fleabyte hideout was.
Jack: Down we go.
And with that, Jack jumped down, He landed on the ground and walked down a tunnel, leading to Fleabytes hideout, as he walked, distant memories played in the background of his mind.
Fleabytes voice: The Triaxis Powers pay me a lot of good money to capture goody two shoes like you.
Adria: For the Avatar…
Jack: Adria… NO!
As Jack's mind returned to the present, He walked into a room, where he found Dipper and Mark tied up.
Jack: Mark! Dipper!
Mark and Dipper: Jack!
Mark: Oh it's good to see you old friend.
Jack quickly freed them from the Ropes with his Sword.
Jack: Where's the Chaos Emerald?
Dipper: Fleabyte left it here.
Dipper quickly grabbed it off the Table.
Jack: Good, No come on!
But before they could make their escape, Fleabyte suddenly appeared, standing in the way with his guns drawn.
Fleabyte: Not so fast.
Outside.
Katara and Aang slowly woke up from being knocked out.
Sokka: About Time, Hurry, Jack went after Mark and Dipper already.
Katara: Right
She quickly Frees Sokka.
Katara: We gotta get the others first.
Back inside.
Jack took out his Sword as Fleabyte advanced on him.
Fleabyte: You know, I was hoping we'd meet again someday…
He Slowly pulls out a gun.
Fleabyte: So I can get back at you for what you Did to me!
He Fires at Jack, who quickly deflected the Bullet with his Sword.
Jack: Miss your arm?
He Dodged Fleabyte as he tries to punch him, and retaliated with a punch to the groin.
Jack: How sad!
Jack grabbed the Cat by his coat and threw him against a shelf that fell on top of him upon impact, Fleabyte was trapped under the sheft, His Robotic arm was free, but it was damaged.
Fleabyte:Hey…! Get me out!
Jack: Why? So you pump me full of lead?
Fleabyte grunted.
Fleabyte: Aw C'mon Man, Lend a hand? At least… Don't leave me…?
Flashback.
Jack and Adria were tied up to the table, as Fleabyte crouched down to Adria's eye level.
Fleabyte: You must have some interesting things to say Spy, Cause you're getting interrogated by one of the big guys. Terr Ar Cur of the Dark Nation.
The Screen in front revealed a man in Black armor with a dark cape. His hair was black with gotye on his chin.
Terr Ar Cur: Bring me the Prisoners, Bounty Hunter.
Fleabyte: Not before I've had my pay…
As the two start bickering, Adria slipped out a small knife she was hiding and started cutting the ropes restraining her.
Jack: What are you doing?
Adria: Getting us out of here.
She started to break free, But was slow about it so Fleabyte doesn't notice.)
Adria: Now hold still.
Silently, She began cutting at Jack's bonds, Jack Nervously looked over at where Fleabyte and Terr Ar Cur were still arguing.
Terr Ar Cur: Make it quick…
Fleabyte: Fine, I'll come soon.
He turned off the screen.
Fleabyte: Now then…
He then saw Adria untied and trying to free Jack.
Fleabyte: WHAT IN TARNATION!?
Jack broke free and went for his sword.
Fleabyte: Oh no you don't!
Fleabyte quickly pulled out his gun.
Jack: NO!
Jack quickly drew his Sword as Everything turned to black, As the sound of a gunshot, Steel cutting flesh, Fleabyte Screaming in pain and Adrias gasping could be heard…
The light of dawn shone down on an abandoned warehouse that has been set on fire, Jack is covered in blood and is Carrying an injured Adria, Who he laid against a wall.
Jack: Adria, Are you alright?
Adria: Jack… The Avatar…
Jack: Yes? Yes?
Adria: … The Avatar… Lives…
Flashback ends.
Jack glared down Angrily at Fleabyte, he knelt down to face the cat, his eye blazing with hatred.
Jack Lend a hand you say? What do you know of Lending a hand? Who have you ever helped?!
Fleabyte then suddenly got his arm free.
Fleabyte: Myself!
Wasting no time, Fleabyte pulled his gun and fired at Jack, Jack narrowly missedJack and went bouncing off the walls. Before it got embedded in Fleabytes face and killed him, Jack, Dipper and Mark stared in shock at what just happened…
Mark: Well… That's a… Nice reference to Star wars…
Jack: I think that gun was double barreled.
Dipper: Then what happened to the…?
Computer: Alert! Alert! Self destruction of hideout in… 10… 9… 8…
Mark: We have to go!
Mark grabbed Dipper and ran out, Jack took a quick look back at Fleabyte's corpse, A look of bitter ease filling him up.
Jack: This one's for Adria…
After taking a deep breath, he Followed after Mark and Dipper, and together, The three made it outside just in time!
Computer: 3… 2… 1…
And with that, The Tree Exploded…
Later on, The team made camp in the woods, As they all nursed their wounds, Mark noticed Jack a little away from the site, All by himself and went over to him.
Mark: Hey…
Jack: You all right?
Mark: Well my Carniums gonna be sore for a while, but other than that…
Jack: That's not what I meant.
Mark: Let's just say what happened to me and Dipper, Kinda gave me a little more appreciation for what you threw back in the day and… Why don't you want to remember.
Jack: It's not that I don't want to remember it.
He Looked over at Aang, who was being tended to by Katara.
Jack: I have to remember, For those who… lost… things for others.
Mark: Still It probably doesn't hurt to talk about it sometimes, With a trusted friend?
Jack: So what do you want to know?
And so, as the moon illuminated their figures Jack tells Mark everything about him, Adria and Fleabyte.
End.
For those who don't know, the Character Fleabyte is a character from the Fleetway comic Series sonic the comic, If you haven't heard about it Look up Sonic the Comic Retrospect to learn about it, Till next time folks. :)
Edit: And there you have it folks, I hope you enjoyed this story, And if anyone liked Fleabyte, I'm sorry I killed him off prematurely, I was writing this back in 2019, And I was just trying to get through school back then.
I would also like to mention that, Just like the opening episode to Crossover Legends, This is loosely based off of an Episode of Transformers Animated, Thrill of the Hunt, Which is a big character moment for Ratchet, Who Jack the Fox is mainly based off.
And as for the Voice Cast.
Colin Murdoch as Fleabyte. (From Sonic the Comic.)
Tara Strong as Adria. (My own OC.)
Corey Burton as Terr Ar Cur. (My own OC, And the father of Ult Al Cur, A future character in Crossover Legends Season 2.)
I hope you all like this, There's just one more Redux to go, And I'll give out the cast and details of the following Characters in this story then.
Stay tuned for now.
