DISCLAIMER: A bit of adult action but not much. However, a lot of violent scenes going down in this make it adult rated, with lots of bloodshed in it.

I also want to thank everyone that let me use their characters in this chapter, which I referenced here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7442667

Check out ryan masterpaladin's page, and I hope you enjoy :)

"WAIT nigga, don't go shootin up anything yet, think first!" Andre actually mentioned quickly, taking the Uzi out of his brother's hand and quickly pulling him off to the back area of the restaurant so they couldn't been seen through the windows by anyone else.

"What you doin 'Dre? I wanna fucking bust that human's head in for what he did to us, 'member?"

"Listen bro, think for a sec. Boss is mad enough as it is, right?"

"Yeah, so what."

"Well, you DO realize that if he finds out dat that human was never killed, he might pin it on all of us since that guy is connected to tony, get what I'm sayin?"

"....good point nigga, boss is trippin so madly that I dunno what to think."

"Well how bout this. Wanna just ditch Marco and get our own thing goin?"

"What you talkin about? You trippin too? We make plenty of paper with boss."

"Yeah but think about it, boss wanted us to take care of Tony, not the human. If we go back saying we killed the human and not that faggot tiger, he'll STILL be mad at us and knowin how much he was trippin, I don't wanna see boss again unless it's tony that's dead and not that human."

"....I guess you're right 'dre....I didn't see that Tiger in there with that puny human, but still, I wanna pop a fuckin cap in that human's head so badly....just come on, lemme do dat shit!" Marcus demanded.

"I have a better idea. Listen in."

The two bears quickly discussed their own plan and realized that there was no turning back at this point.

"I'm still surprised you were able to get to me as quickly as you did." Aquin mentioned, smoking a cigarette in the passenger seat.

"Well, that's what these Lamborghini's are meant for heh." Thunder replied, as the Eastern Dragon kept blasting by cars on the highway.

"I'm just surprised you didn't get caught by the police on your way here heh."

"And I guess you keep forgetting that I can do the same thing as you 'Quin in terms of controlling people's emotions heh."

"Well I don't do that often, but yeah I guess I did forget about that. It's been quite a-while since we've hung out together in the club."

"Yeah it has, too bad you can't stay when we get back there."

"Well I've been very busy attending to personal matters that I can't ignore....hopefully I can take care of everything though before it gets anymore out of hand...."

"Do you think those guys you were telling me about will be fine back at that house I picked you up at?"

"Yeah I think so, and besides, a couple of my old buddies actually patrol that county anyway, so I told them to make sure to watch out for anything that goes on in the area."

"Oh yeah? Who are they?"

"Names are Crank and Bolt. I haven't talked to them in a LONG time though. They're usually all over the place but the last time I did talk with them they were doing pretty well for themselves here in Massachusetts."

"Think they'll have to deal with....anything......wait..............Aquin? What's wrong??"

"Oh no.......oh....shit...."

"What is it Aquin???" Thunder asked as he kept easily blasting by cars, going nearly 100 on the highway heading back to New York.

"I don't know what it is....but these last couple of days I've had these feelings in my head that something bad was about to happen....and we found out what happened with Junir like I told you just beforehand.....I just think something else is going down now...." The Gator mentioned, feeling his head and almost feeling guilty since he couldn't do anything about it.

"Well regardless, we're not far from the border, I'll get you back as soon as possible so you can get your ride 'Quin."

"T-thanks Thunder...."

****

"And here you guys go!" Chowder mentioned to us, bringing us our drinks and happily watching all of his customers enjoying their meals inside the café.

"Thanks Chowder, I'm really feeling a lot better now with all you guys here." I mentioned to the big Tiger and the other four near me, emitting a big smile and being grateful that everything was getting better after what happened between Tony and myself back at Chowder's house.

"I'm happy you're feeling better Mike, your food will be ready soon guys. Also, when I get out tonight, should we...."

*BANG*

"ALRIGHT LISTEN UP, EVERYONE GET DOWN ON THE FUCKING FLOOR!"

".................."

"AHHHHHH!"

"GAHHHHH!"

It was at that moment, that all my feelings of happiness turned to sheer horror. I turned around, and pretty much felt like I was looking at a ghost. The two bears.....that had caused me all my pain and grief....and ultimately, my near death experience.....were standing right in front of me with Uzi's in their hands. I simply.....opened my mouth, and didn't say a single word.

The room filled with screams and cries, and everyone quickly complied with the bear's demands, including Sull and Ord at that moment. Chowder simply ducked behind the counter, though I did hear a small clicking noise near him, as if he was almost activating a silent alarm. People were whimpering to the left and right of me, acting very scared and wondering if they were going to be shot.

I then realized....that I wasn't moving. I was the only person in the entire restaurant not doing anything, as I kept looking at the two bears with my eyes wide open, feeling like I was paralyzed in my own seat.

"I SAID GET DOWN ON THE FUCKING GROUND!" One of the bears then yelled, and I was getting more and more horrified when I noticed both of them looking specifically at me.

"YOU, YOU'RE COMING WITH US!"

".............."

*STEP....STEP.....STEP*

"A....AGH!"

One of the bears quickly walked over and grabbed my arm very hard, yanking it from the counter while having an Uzi in his hand. I tried to free myself, but ultimately as I started tugging back, I felt something large hitting my head....which ultimately knocked me out.

*****

"NO, LEAVE MIKE ALONE!" Sully yelled, quickly noticing what the bears were doing and getting up to try to help Mike.

As the big monster tried to charge the bears that were only about 10 feet in front of him, the other bear that wasn't holding Mike's arm immediately pointed his Uzi at the monster....and fired.

*CLATTLE*

"AGHHHH!!!! FUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!"

"GAHHHHH!!!" "YAHHHH!!!"

"JAMES!!!" Ord yelled, seeing his mate being shot right in the arm while other people remained slouched and started to yell after hearing/seeing the gunshot.

"I SAID DON'T FUCKING MOVE! I'LL PUT A BULLET IN YOUR HEAD IF YOU MOVE ANOTHER MUSCLE!" One of the bears exclaimed, pointing his automatic right at the Dragon's head. Ord still went over to nurse Sully as the monster was screaming in pain while on the ground near the counter of the restaurant.

"D-DON'T YOU DARE HURT MIKE!" Ord yelled in a very fearful voice while helping out Sull, as the big guy's right arm was bleeding very badly. At the same time, Eric was being covered by Kimahri very closely, and the two were just as scared as everyone else.

"Oh believe me, we won't hurt him....for now. HEY, PUT THAT FUCKING THING AWAY! *CLATTLE* *SMASH* "GAHHHH!!!!"

The bear that pointed the gun at Ord noticed that a Yellow wolf was using his phone in one of the booth seats near the two bears, while he was sitting next to a blue polar cat. The bear quickly shot his Uzi near the two, shattering the small window next to where the two were sitting, which ultimately made a few more people scream.

"YOU WANNA JOIN THIS GUY ON THE GROUND HERE AND THIS GUY TOO?" "Let's go Andre." The bear mentioned to his brother that was ultimately still tugging on Mike's arm very hard, even though the human was motionless as blood started coming down his forehead.

Before the two could exit the place though while they still had their guns drawn, everyone heard several loud noises emitting from outside.

*WHEEYOU WHEEYOU WHEEYOU WHEEYOU WHEEYOU*

*WHEEYOU WHEEYOU WHEEYOU WHEEYOU WHEEYOU*

*WHEEYOU WHEEYOU WHEEYOU WHEEYOU WHEEYOU*

At least 8 cop cars pulled in at the same time into the plaza, with every car dashing towards the restaurant.

"SHIT! We can't get out, they're already here!" Andre mentioned to his brother as he kept holding the human by the arms.

"FUCK!! OK, CHANGE OF PLANS EVERYONE. I WANT ALL OF YOU TO REMAIN ON THE FUCKING GROUND. YOU, GET OVER HERE." Marcus demanded as he motioned for the Tiger behind the counter to come up to the two bears.

Chowder didn't know what to do at that moment. As he approached the two bears very fearfully, he quietly mentioned "P-please....don't hurt anyone....and don't hurt Mi-"

*BANG*

"Hnnngghh!!!" *Cough....cough*

"DID I ASK FOR YOUR FUCKING OPINION?" Marcus exclaimed as he took his fist and punched the Tiger very hard in the stomach, causing the Tiger to kneel on the ground and catch his breath while feeling a lot of pain emit through his body. While all of this was going on, all of the cops were getting out of their patrol cars, ready to take fire, though two of the cops were standing out in front of the rest.

"NOW YOU'RE GONNA LISTEN TO ME. YOU'RE GONNA COME OUT WITH ME AS I LET THESE GUY S KNOW WHAT WE WANT."

The black bear quickly snatched the Tiger off his feet, and pointed the Uzi right at his neck, walking very slowly towards the opening of the restaurant.

Chowder simply could only tremble with an unbelievably frightened look on his face as he walked towards the entrance with the bear, still squinting from the punch that the bear delivered to him only a few seconds beforehand.

As chowder let the bear open the door of the opening of the restaurant, the two were facing at least 20 cops in front of them, while more patrol units were starting to arrive on the scene as well. As most of the cops had their guns pulled out and ready to take fire though, two Gators were parked the closest to the scene with a megaphone in their hands. The bear was the first to speak though in the giant confrontation.

"ALRIGHT, YOU ALL LISTEN TO ME. SOMEONE IS GONNA DIE WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR IF WE DON'T HAVE 5 MILLION DOLLARS IN OUR HANDS, AND IT MIGHT BE THIS GUY."

Marcus wasn't even thinking about how the two would get away, but he definitely knew that he was going to get what he wanted, or else he would start raising hell inside the Café.

"LISTEN, WE CAN HANDLE THIS SITUATION VERY THUROUGHLY. PLEASE LET SOME PEOPLE GO AND WE WILL COMPLY WITH YOUR REQUEST." One of the gators said through the megaphone.

"59 MINUTES LEFT." Marcus yelled at the cops, quickly pulling chowder back in and still holding the gun up to the Tiger.

Meanwhile, one of the cops realized that the bear that was holding the Tiger at gunpoint looked oddly familiar. He quickly realized who he was dealing with, and spoke up to the other cops.

"Hey guys! I remember seeing that bear on TV a few weeks ago! Him and his brother escaped prison in New York! They're VERY dangerous!" The human cop exclaimed.

"Wait....oh yeah, holy shit, are those the Klodia brothers in there?!?!" Another cop exclaimed. It only took a few moments for every cop to realize who was inside, and that the situation was now more intense than ever.

Back in the restaurant.....

"ALRIGHT LISTEN ALL OF YOU, GET IN THAT BACK ROOM RIGHT NOW!" The furious bear lashed out at everyone that was still on the ground, pointing his gun quickly around the entire restaurant along with his brother as Andre was still holding onto Mike.

"I SAID MOVE!" "Agh!"

Marcus grabbed another person, which looked to be a human except he had pointy ears, almost like an elf. The bear quickly yanked people out of their area one by one, demanding that they go into the back room of the restaurant behind the counter where all the food was prepared. Sull was still nursing his arm as blood was dripping steadily onto the floor now from the gunshot wound, while Ord was still trying to help his mate up so that they could comply and not risk taking any more bullets from the guns that were being pointed at them.

"K-k-Kimahri.....please don't let them hurt me!!!" Eric cried out a bit, worried sick about the situation and still holding onto the Ronso very tightly while they remained next to Sull and Ord at the counter.

"HEY YOU TWO, GET UP AND GET IN THERE." Marcus then exclaimed to both Eric and his mate. The two still held onto each other, but also complied and headed into the back room of the restaurant along with nearly everyone else.

"You think we can do this bro?" Andre asked as he took the human and threw his motionless body to the ground in the back room with everyone else that was still sitting down on the floor next to each other near a table.

The two brothers finished getting everyone into the back room, with Marcus replying "no turning back now nigga, we need to be thinking of a way to get outta here, killin these fools will just make it harder for us."

The back room of the restaurant had a couple of large refrigerators, as well as an area to clean the dishes. There was also a small table in the center of the room that looked like it was meant for taking breaks on and there was also another bathroom, several drawers to put the dishes away, and an emergency back door as well though it looked like it had never been used.

"Think we should head out this back door with the paper when we get dat shit?" Andre asked his brother.

"I don't think they be coming around this back door lookin for us, so maybe we can cut through to that Mcdonald's on the other side and make our getaway by jackin a car. You watch these fools, I still have business to do with this Tiger right here." Marcus then added, still threatening to shoot Chowder at any moment if something went wrong.

"I got it covered, these guys ain't goin nowhere bro." Andre replied, as everyone was now sitting around the table in the center of the back room, as the bear still had his Uzi drawn.

"Good. Now then, you're coming with me here." Marcus mentioned, dragging the big Tiger towards the front end of the restaurant near the front entrance. Chowder remained silent, and still had a very fearful look on his face as everything was still going on.

The bear held the gun up to Chowder's neck once again, and said to the Tiger "Ok then, now, you're gonna go outside, calm those officers down and bring the money into here when they get it. And you're ALSO going to get me a walkie talkie too so that I can chat with our little police friends out there."

Chowder had a very confused look in his eyes, but the bear then added "AND if you don't do this, I'm gonna make sure this is on your fucking head by shooting one of those unlucky people in the back, YOU UNDERSTAND?"

"O-o-ok....p-please don't hurt them!" Chowder mentioned as the bear pushed him forward, still having the gun pointed at the big guy's head while Chowder slowly walked out of the entrance to his own restaurant.

As the Tiger walked outside of the café, a few voices emitted near the police cars.

"HEY, THERE'S A HOSTAGE! LET'S GO!"

Right as the voices emitted near the police cars, a few cops looked like they were about to move in to help out Chowder.

"N-no! P-please s-s-stay b-back!" Chowder yelled out towards the cops, motioning his hands for the cops to stop. Other people were looking on left and right near the cop cars as well in the plaza parking lot, but people were also quickly running from the scene too when they noticed all the guns that were drawn from the policemen.

Chowder kept motioning for the cops to stay where they were, in which they obliged. The Tiger kept looking back to see Marcus's face near the front entrance, even though he eventually made his way to the back room with his brother and the other hostages.

"Hey, you ok there bud?" One of the gators asked as the Tiger finally came up to the cops.

"N-n-no....please don't go in there, they're going to....they're going to kill people i-if I d-don't d-d-do what they s-say!" Chowder stuttered back, as that was the first time the Tiger ever felt that nervous in his whole life....especially since people that were a part of his business were now on the brink of death....

"Don't worry, we've got this covered. Trust us." The tall gator said back to the tiger.

"W-well....they demanded a walkie talkie and the money...or else they were going to s-shoot someone in there! P-please, can you just let me have both so that I c-can give it t-to them.....oh my god....why is this happening?!?!" Chowder moaned out as he paced in front of the cops back and forth, biting his own nails.

"We can't get the cash prepared right away, but we will let you know when we do. Hey Bolt, you have that spare set of walkies in the glove compartment?" The gator asked.

"Yeah, lemme grab them here." The other gator replied while Chowder could only wonder what was going on inside his café.

*****

Meanwhile in the back room of the café, the two bears were standing around the room and monitoring the hostages that were sitting on the floor around the center table, making sure that no one was trying to do anything to attempt to escape, as their guns were still ready to shoot at any moment.

As each second passed by, some people around the table tried to quietly talk to one another while the bears weren't looking.

"I-I'm scared Static....what's gonna h-happen?" a grey wolf quietly whispered to his friend that was sitting next to him.

"Shhhhh.....quiet Cyber....don't let them hear you....we'll get out of this soon enough, I hope those co-"

"HEY, DID I SAY YOU COULD TALK? *WHACK*

"AGH!"

Marcus had noticed a yellow Tiger that was whispering to his wolf friend next to him, and quickly hit the Tiger in the face with part of the gun, which ultimately caused the Tiger's nose to start bleeding.

"H-HEY! T-that's my fri-"

"AGAIN, DID I SAY YOU COULD TALK?" Marcus shouted at the Wolf that was holding his friend in his arms on the floor as blood started coming out of the Tiger's nose pretty fast.

"S-sorry..." the wolf replied, using his own white shirt to wipe some of the blood off of his friend's face.

"Hhhnnggg...."

Meanwhile, Sull was still bleeding very badly from his arm and sitting next to Ord and a few other people he didn't know. He wrapped his own tank top around his arm to try to control the bleeding, though it was not letting up all that much. There was a very small pool of blood forming below sull, and the big guy was feeling dizzy at that point while he sat back against the table. His eyes were twitching a bit, and it seemed like the blue monster wouldn't last much longer if his arm kept bleeding at the rate it was going.

Ord was trying to help out Sull himself by nursing his arm, though Ord was also trying to comfort Mike as well, as the human was lying motionless in front of Ord when Andre threw the human into the room in the first place, though the Dragon quickly helped Mike out by letting the human rest in the Dragon's lap while everything was going down.

Besides Ord, Mike, Eric, Kimahri, Chowder, Chowder's workers, Cyber, and Static, there were 11 other people sitting around the table. A few were human and a few were anthro (including the yellow wolf and the blue polar cat from earlier), and there were even a couple that looked mostly human, though they technically weren't.

"Can you see that Tiger out there?" Andre asked while his brother poked his head out to see if Chowder was getting the walkie talkies and the cash from the cops that the two brothers demanded.

"Yeah, he's still talkin to dem. They better get us that money, or else I'm gonna shoot this ugly asshole right here first in the next 40 minutes."

"N-no!"

"SHUT UP. Just what da fuck are you anyway? Some white skinned deadbeat that Santa left behind?"

"......"

The bear insulted the guy sitting in front of him that looked to be mostly human, although he had pointy ears like an elf and was wearing very unusual clothing. He also looked somewhat like Mike, except he had shorter hair and had much darker eyes as well.

****

"Here you go, just be careful. See if you can get them outside, and we'll take care of the rest, okay? We'll let you know when the cash is ready." The gator explained to the Tiger, handing him a single walkie talkie that could communicate with the cops.

"O-ok.....why d-did this have to happen??" Chowder replied softly towards the gator and to himself as well, still not believing that all of this was going down right then and there. The Tiger quickly realized though that he had to make sure his friends and customers weren't going to get hurt, and started to walk back towards the café with the walkie talkie in his hands.

*****

Meanwhile, Marcus continued to insult the guy in front of him.

"Just as I figured. You're a pathetic elf. What has our fucking world come to, people be breeding these nasty things left and right. I'm gonna enjoy knowing the fact that there'll be one less of ya in dis world after today." Marcus lashed out at the guy on the floor. As the bear looked out towards the parking lot again, he then noticed what was happening and then mentioned "Oh shit, that Tiger's comin back, yo Andre, come with me and get this nigga in here so that those damn cops don't think they can shoot one of us and not take us seriously."

Andre quickly nodded, but then exclaimed to everyone:

"IF ANY OF YOU MOVE A MUSCLE, THAT WILL BE THE LAST MUSCLE YOU MOVE BEFORE IT POPS OUT OF YOUR BODY ALONG WITH YOUR BRAIN, YOU HEAR ME?"

Everyone except for the people wounded by the bears (Mike, Sull, and Static) nodded their heads as the two bears briefly left the back room to go and get Chowder back into the restaurant.

"You gonna let them i-insult you like that?" Eric asked the guy sitting next to him as he still held onto Kimahri tightly, though everyone around the table figured this was the only time they could talk to each other. Eventually, everyone else started whispering to one another, though they all knew one thing was for certain. This was one of the scariest moments of their lives.

".....I....I don't let it get to me as much...."

"If I may ask...w-what a-are you anyway? I really hope they just take their money and leave!" Eric then added.

"I consider myself a mage....but most people seem to call me an elf or even "blade ear."

"T-that's terrible! B-but......a mage? I didn't even kn-...."

"Yeah, well I'm not exactly the most common race you'll find in this world." *Sigh*

"Oh....I'm so sorry I said that! P-please forgive me Mr....."

"Just call me Emon. I just hope that we can get through this......and just when I thought I'd finally have a peaceful day....this had to happen...."

The mage sighed and sat back against the table. Amazingly, he did not have as much of a worried look compared to the other people, and looked more frustrated than scared.

"Shit! You really need to see a doctor Sull!" Ord then exclaimed as Sull's own tank top was nearly completely covered in blood, though his arm still kept bleeding. Right as Ord mentioned that, Emon quickly looked over at the Dragon and the Monster, and mentioned "Hey....I'll help you guys out as soon as this is over, ok?"

Ord looked back at the mage and nodded slightly, though Ord didn't really know what to think at that moment. Sull's face was turning a very light blue color as if he was turning pale, and looked like he was going to pass out at any moment.

"O-Ord....j-just d-"

"What is it hun? I'm here. Don't you dare leave me!"

"J-just m-m-make s-sure M-mike is o-okay." Sull replied, slouching over onto the Dragon's shoulder and ultimately closing his eyes.

"James? JAMES?" "Please....please don't l-leave...."

"........oh thank god......"

The Dragon's heart was racing intensely at that moment, though he was able to still see the big guy breathing. The monster really needed to get to a hospital to get his wound treated though, since he clearly lost a REAL lot of blood.

****

"Those assholes better have not tried to move back there...." Marcus mentioned as the two waited near the front door while Chowder slowly approached the two.

"They better know we serious, I ain't gettin shot over dis bullshit, I'm gonna fuckin make my paper after today is over with and boss is LONG gone." Andre then mentioned. Chowder was now roughly 30 feet from the entrance, though he took his time walking up as all the guns were still drawn from the policemen, with helicopters now patrolling the area and even a couple of news crews getting near the scene. It was truly an area that no one wanted to be in the middle of, but unfortunately Chowder was that one person that happened to be in the middle of everything.

*****

"Fuck! What am I gonna do?!" Ord mentioned quietly, forming tears in his eyes as Sull was resting on the Dragon's shoulder, while Mike was lying on Ord's lap, still knocked out from the blow to the head from the gun of Andre.

"That's it....I gotta do this...."

Before Ord could say any more, Emon crawled over as quietly as he could to the Dragon, not trying to make any noise as he knew the risk of what he was doing from what the bears threatened to do.

"W-what are you d-doing?" Ord stuttered as the mage quietly came over and looked at Sull's injured arm.

"Good, this is easy to fix. Just give me a sec' here."

Emon quickly put his hands onto Sull's arm, even though Ord had absolutely no clue what was going on, and neither did anyone else that were sitting next to them.

"This will only take a few seconds......"

The mage closed his eyes and pressed his hands firmly against Sull's arm. It didn't take long for everyone to notice that Sull's wound started glowing a very dim green color, which ultimately also made the traces of blood around the arm disappear as well, much to everyone's surprise.

"Just a little more....done." Emon whispered.

*O_O*

Several people had their eyes WIDE open after what they just witnessed, not believing that the guy kneeling near them was just able to clear away all the blood near the blue monster, as well as make the bullet wound pretty much unnoticeable.

"Oh shit....I think that Tiger is coming back with those bears....quick, have him drink this." The mage then told Ord, quickly pulling out a small red bottle out of his pocket that was unlabeled, and quickly opening it.

"W-what is it?" Ord whispered back, almost acting speechless over what he just witnessed.

"Never mind that, make him drink it! I gotta get back over here!" Emon replied, quickly crawling back over to the area he was sitting at beforehand when the two bears confronted him.

Ord still looked confused and VERY scared, but noticed that Sull was no longer bleeding from his arm and realized that the guy that gave him the red bottle was someone he could trust. Ord opened Sully's mouth, and tried the best he could to make Sull get the liquid down his system even though the monster was still out cold.

Right before Ord could finish pouring the liquid down though, everyone's eyes widened again when they heard the footsteps near the back room entrance. Sure enough, the two bears came back in as they pushed the swinging door open, with Chowder being held by both of them as they escorted the Tiger into the back room, shoving him down near the rest of the hostages.

"Now you all listen, my bro and I are gon' talk with these pigs out here since dey don' wanna give us our paper just yet, and you better hope dey come up with money, cause according to my watch, this guy has 35 minutes left before his brain will be hangin out his pointy head." Andre said to everyone and especially at Emon, as the two stayed in the room while everyone still sat around the table, now looking more scared than ever as both bears looked like they weren't going anywhere.

Meanwhile though, back in New York.....

*****

"YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT....ELM....HURST.....HOSPITAL"

The Orange hummer pulled into the driveway, with Tony having a very worried look on his face for numerous reasons. Before he could think about how Junir was doing though, the big Tiger looked very surprised when he looked ahead towards the hospital entrance.

"What the hell? What's going on??" Tony asked himself, seeing at least 6 cop cars all with their lights on near the median entrance of the hospital, with several officers talking to each other near the entrance as well.

"I hope Junir's okay....god damn....this day seems to just get worse and worse...." Tony thought to himself. The thoughts of everyone else....including Mike, would just not leave the big Tiger as he parked his car in the left parking lot, finding an empty spot and quickly getting out of his car to go and walk into the hospital.

"That's crazy!" One of the cops exclaimed as Tony walked past the main driveway and making it to the median near the entrance. The big Tiger just couldn't help himself at that moment, and had to know what was going on.

"W-what happened here??" Tony asked a few of the officers that were talking to each other. There were still at least 15 officers near the entrance, writing out tons of information and looking like they were also filing witness reports.

"Hey! You're-"

"Yes that's me, what happened?!" Tony swiftly replied, not in the mood for any publicity as he spoke back towards the cops that noticed who was standing in front of them.

"Well....there was a pretty big gun battle that just went down here not too long ago...as well as a bomb threat......"

"WHAT?!?!?!" Tony shouted back, now getting worried sick over Junir.

"Yeah it was serious. We lost a couple of our comrades......none of the patients were hurt though and they deemed the hospital to be safe.....but I can't imagine what Rory and Chris's families will have to deal with after those guys shot them...." "Yeah....that's just terrible..." "They were good cops." A few of the cops replied.

After the cop told Tony that none of the patients were injured, the big guy breathed a bit of a sigh of relief, but was still worried over his Lion friend's well-being. There was another question that the Tiger had at that moment too.

"W-wait....so w-who were these gunmen??" Tony asked.

"Well, two of them got away, but from the reports we've gotten, one was an Orca, one was a Bull, and one was a human."

Even though Tony had no previous encounters at all with the three supposed gunmen, he knew that they were definitely related to one person.

Marco.

Tony started to get angry just thinking about it, but at the same time, he just realized what the cop had said and asked back:

"Wait...did you say only two got away? Where's the third one?"

"They took that guy inside for his injuries, right Susan?" The human cop asked his fox partner.

"Yeah, they're treating him for the moment, but then he's going into our custody for attempted murder. I'm not sure where they brought him though."

Tony simply did not say anything, and only clinched his fist at that moment. With that, the Tiger started to walk towards the hospital entrance.

Just then however.....

"Hey.....T-Tony??"

"......"

The orange Tiger heard a familiar voice behind him, though he wasn't entirely sure who it was. When he turned around though, Tony's face looked VERY surprised, and he was nearly speechless.

".....MICHAEL?!?! IS THAT YOU?!?!"

Tony had looked behind him to see an old Tiger buddy of his, but one that he had not seen in a VERY long time. Unfortunately, the name Michael could only remind Tony of the human that he ultimately broke up with, and it made the Tiger shake a bit while he met his old buddy again. The two did hug each other though, still amazed to meet up again after such a long time. Michael was a VERY muscular Tiger himself much like Tony, except he had a bit of a lighter skin color, and had a very large X shaped scar on his forehead.

"What you doing here Ton'?"

"Well, I'm here because I heard on the news that my friend Junir was emi-"

"Wait, you know Junir???" Michael asked with a very curious and amazed look on his face.

"Y-yeah! We're gym buddies and also see each other a lot in the city! How do you know him though?"

"Junir and I wrestle together all the time around the state! I'm shocked he never talked about you before though to me!"

"Yeah, and the same thing can be said about you! How have you been anyway?" Tony asked as the two still stood outside the hospital entrance with people walking in and out almost non-stop, including the cops.

"I've been really good, making good money and staying in shape. I just can't believe what happened to Junir.....what about you though big guy?" Michael asked back.

Tony didn't say anything for a couple of moments, but finally started to speak again, slowly emitting ".....Things h-haven't been so easy lately......I would explain everything but it would just take too long...."

"Come on Tony, we used to be best of friends back in the day, what's wrong? You can tell me anything!"

"Ok Mike.....I'll make a long story as short as I can here." Tony replied, as he told his old friend everything that happened over the last month, and ESPECIALLY everything that went down over the last couple of weeks.

*VRRRRRRROOOOOM*

"Looks like we're not far from the hangout now." Thunder mentioned to Aquin as they passed by the New York border fairly quickly after only a short drive. Thunder's Lamborghini was now going nearly 130 on the highway, making his car seem like it was faster than lightning.

"Wait Thunder.....hang on....."

Aquin seemed like he was catching onto something, and realized that he had a hunch as to where Tony was going,

"Thunder, I can't remember, how far is Elmhurst from where we are?"

"Well Elmhurst isn't too far from the city and I know how to get there too."

"Ok, forget the hangout for now, just take me to the Elmhurst hospital. I'm pretty sure Tony's there." Aquin replied confidently, with a very serious look on his face.

"You sure you don't wanna stop and see the others first?" The muscular green dragon asked back.

"We don't have time. I'll go there after. I need to get to Tony before he does anything stupid. We gotta hurry." The Gator replied.

"Well it's your call 'Quin. Looks like we're making a detour." Thunder mentioned, picking up the speed and passing by cars UNBELIEVABLY fast now, as his car was now going near 140.

The feeling in the air was definitely frightening in the back room of Chowder's restaurant. Left and right, people were shivering with fear, and some were holding onto the people next to them as everyone sat at the back table while the two bears walked around them, talking to the cops outside through the walkie talkie and still demanding their ransom, as the clock kept ticking down. As Ord was sitting with Sull and Mike resting on the Dragon though, he noticed something that he almost wanted to stop from happening.

****

"H-hhhnnnggghhhh......mmmnnfffff......w-what.....what h-ha-"

"Oh look Marcus, this faggot looks like he's getting up!"

I barely opened my eyes, feeling groggy and very lopsided, not knowing where I was. It was then though that I realized that I had been knocked out earlier, and when I started to hear those horrific voices above me at that moment, I knew that I was in one of the worst possible situations I could imagine.

"Maybe we should show everyone else here what we do to people we don't like, what do ya say bro?"

"N-no....oh god please no..." I thought to myself, remembering what the two bears did to me in that warehouse....

"YEAH, MIGHT AS WELL KEEP OURSELVES OCCUPIED WHILE THOSE COPS GRAB OUR PAPER."

I heard footsteps getting closer and closer to me. I also realized that I was lying on someone, but I didn't know who it was, as I was still staring at the floor with my eyes barely open. My face also felt a bit dry, and I could definitely smell blood on me. My head was also REALLY hurting too, and eventually, I heard the footsteps stop, though they sounded like they were in front of me.

"COME ON YOU. GET UP HERE."

"N-no!" I thought, though I didn't want to scream it out either, knowing what those bears were capable of. I felt my Wolf's Rain shirt being grabbed and I was quickly yanked up off the ground. I then realized that one of the bears was holding me up by the collar, and had a look in his face that I wanted to avoid, but I couldn't.

*****

"D-don't hu-"

"HEY, if you move a muscle, I'm gonna put a bullet in this guy's head, so you better not do anything, YOU GOT ME?" One of the bears exclaimed at Ord, who was about to get up to try to stop the bears from hurting Mike, though Ord quickly obeyed the bears as he didn't want to see his friend die right in front of him. The Dragon was trembling in fear, almost crying along with several other people around the table while he still had Sull lying next to him, though it seemed like Sull was starting to barely motion himself. It was then that the monster seemed like he was starting to wake up.

"W-what's...."

*CLATTLE*

"GAHHH!" "AHHH!!!"

"I SAID BE QUIET ALL OF YOU!"

Sull started to talk as he slowly woke up, but his eyes opened instantly after hearing one of the bears shooting his Uzi into the air, which triggered more screams around the table.

"D-don't move Sull!" Ord whispered as quietly as he possibly could into the Monster's ear. Sull nodded back, but then realized that the pain in his arm was gone though. His arm still felt weak at that moment however, and he kept holding it while looking at the bears that were holding Mike.

"I hope you enjoyed what we did to you before, cause now you're gonna get a second go. Hey Andre, how bout we do it right here on the table in front of everyone so dey can see dis pathetic human get what he deserves!"

"No! Don't hurt Mike!" Chowder yelled as he sat near a few others.

"Ugh......that's it."

*CHINK* "Say goodbye to your little café, you pathetic pussy.

"WAIT...NO!"

*PSSH* "HELLO? ARE YOU GUYS THERE?" *PSSH*

Within a few seconds, Chowder had yelled at the bears, to having the Uzi pointed right at him, to the walkie talkie going off on one of the counters near the table. Chowder was covering his body by any means nessecary, and found himself to be spared as Andre went from possibly shooting the gun, to going over to the walkie and answering it.

"YEAH, WHAT IS IT."

"We have your money, now can you please release some of the hostages?"

"About time you got it. You get it to us, and we let 3 people go."

There was silence on the other end of the walkie talkie, as the cops outside debated on what to do. Ultimately, they all realized that the gunmen were still escapees from prison, and didn't want to take any chances with them.

"3 it is, but can you please consider letting more go?"

"Oh we'll let more people go, once we have a getaway car ready, along with no one planning on following, YOU HEAR ME?"

"......Done." The voice on the other side of the walkie quietly replied.

Andre quickly put the walkie talkie down, and firmly walked back up to Chowder, who was still covering his face and body.

"I've got a job for you again, follow me."

Much like Marcus pulled Mike up, Andre did the same to Chowder, yanking the Tiger off the ground and holding the gun to his neck like before, walking towards the front part of the café so that Chowder could go out like before and grab the money.

"You can start without me bro. I'ma get our paper." Andre insisted, while Marcus shoved Mike onto the top of the table inbetween everyone else.

"It'll be my PLEASURE." Marcus replied.

*****

*FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP*

"Man, that wind was crazy!" Junir exclaimed, still being in Dracon's arms and holding to his neck as the two kept flying over certain towns.

"Well it looks like it's over. We're actually not far from Newburyport, we should be flying near it over the next couple of minutes here." The red dragon replied.

"I can't wait to see Mike and the others though, I'm getting hungry here as well heh." The Lion then mentioned.

"Yeah, me too. Hey look, there's the Merrimac river! It'll just take a bit more before we end up at that Market Square Plaza, I'm pretty sure I know how to get there."

"Wait....is it a no fly zone though?" Junir asked with a bit of a worried look.

"To be honest....I'm not sure. I've never gotten in trouble so I guess it's fine. Oh look, I see the.......plaza......wait........what the hell?!"

*FLAP FLAP.....FLAP......FLAP..........FLAP...................FLAP*

The Dragon started to fly much slower as he noticed the plaza not far from him with all the stores around, but both he and the Lion then realized what was in the parking lot of that plaza that the two were looking down at.

"W-what the hell? Why are all those police cars.....holy crap!!"

As Dracon flew lower and lower near the plaza, they then noticed that a whole bunch of cops were out of their cars and had their guns drawn, pointing towards a building. As the two got near the ground though with Dracon eventually landing, both the Lion and Dragon opened their eyes wider than ever when they realized what the cops were pointing their guns at.

"H-holy......IS THAT....?!?!?"

"T-that's the restaurant Mike told me he was going to with the others! Oh my god!!!"

Both Junir and Dracon couldn't speak at all, as their faces truly expressed more than words. Dracon wasn't noticed by anyone in terms of himself flying into the plaza parking lot and landing near some trees, but he was clearly more concerned with the fact that Junir's friends....were possibly in that restaurant at that moment.

The two ultimately ran towards the cops that were roughly a few hundred feet away, wanting to get answers in terms of what was going on. Junir found himself limping quite a bit from the injuries he sustained the night before, but that was on the back of his mind as he was MUCH more worried about what was going down right at that moment.

Before the two could even ask what was going on to the cops, the two found themselves getting nearly in the way of the cops preparing to fire their weapons as the front door opened to the café. Both Dracon and Junir stood behind all the cop cars, and then noticed a bear near the front door of the restaurant about a couple hundred feet in front of all the cop cars that was holding an Uzi up to a large Tiger.

*****

"You know the drill, get the money and get your ass back in here, or else I shoot your "precious" little friends. YOU GOT ME?"

"Y-y-y-yes...." Chowder stuttered back very badly.

"GOOD."

With that said, the bear shoved the Tiger outside, and quickly closed the door so that he couldn't deal with possible gunfire.

Dracon and Junir were now ducking behind the cop cars, and they were pretty much the only bystanders at the scene itself, as everyone else was MUCH further away (including the news reporters there) and even the helicopters.

The two both noticed the large Tiger that was now walking slowly towards the cops outside, with his hands out in plain sight. Step by step, the big guy eventually came up to the nearest cop car, and was greeted by a couple of gators that were in front of all the other cop cars.

"P-please....help us! They're going....they're going to......k-kill.....my....friend....!" The tiger exclaimed, forming tears in his eyes while the two gators were there to help him out.

"We can't get in there from the front or back....it's too obvious.....I just hope that they both come out there....but anyway, bring this case in. Don't say anything, it is filled with counterfeit bills and hopefully it will draw them out."

The big Gator handed a LARGE briefcase to the Tiger, which Chowder almost couldn't even pick up as his body felt powerless with all the helpless people inside the café.

*Sniff...* "P-please.....h-hurry!" Chowder replied, picking up the briefcase and turning around to walk back towards the entrance.

As Dracon and Junir listened to the conversation that the Tiger was having with the cops, The muscular red dragon couldn't take it anymore.

"That's it......I gotta do something...."

"Wait....what are you saying Dracon?"

"Stay here Junir, I'm going in."

"H-How?!?!?!" The Lion frantically asked back.

"Just stay here and don't look up at me, I don't want to draw their attention." With that said, the Dragon ran back towards the trees where he landed before.

"D-dracon!"

*****

"I just hope they don't notice....please....let these guys live....." *FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP*

The Dragon ran back towards the cluster of trees in the plaza parking lot where the two landed, and flew back into the sky very quickly while leaving his bag behind with Junir near the cops cars.

Right before Junir's eyes, the Dragon disappeared into the trees, and was not seen afterward. Left and right, Junir looked to try to see Dracon, though he couldn't find him at all.

"Time to circle around here......."

Dracon had taken off completely in the opposite direction from the restaurant, but quickly turned around in the sky, planning on coming in from another direction so that he could hopefully not be noticed.

*FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP*

"Ok.....here we go...... *FLAP.....FLAP................FLAP..................................FLAP* *SHOOOOOM**WHOOOOOSH*

Very quickly, Dracon flew in from the side of where the restaurant and police cars were, flying very low and coming in at a very high speed as his body passed over the trees and the main street.

"PLEASE.......COME ON....."

*WWWWWHHHHHOOOOOOSSSSHHHHH.......* *FLAP.....FLAP......TINK*

"Whew!"

Dracon flew insanely fast from the side, quickly flying towards the top of the building and almost diving in with his wings to get onto the roof as fast as possible without being noticed. The Dragon was able to get in fast enough, but also quietly enough to barely be noticed as he immediately ducked on the rooftop of the restaurant.

*****

"W-whoa! Did you see that?!?!" One of the cops mentioned. However, the two gators in the front quickly waved back at the cop, almost as if they knew what was going on, and not wanting anyone else to do anything stupid and make it seem obvious as to what was occurring. Chowder was now very close to the entrance of the restaurant, and ultimately, the front door opened again slowly, with Andre being there to escort the Tiger back in.

*****

"Come on....there's gotta be a.......door......yes....here we go...."

*CRRRRREEEEEKKKK....CLANK*

The Dragon quietly opened a small hatch near the giant air conditioner on top of the roof, and immediately realized that there was a ladder below him, leading into a somewhat dark room. Dracon though was able to barely notice the utility boxes in the room as he gently lowered himself into the room, trying to be as quiet as possible.

*CLAT*

The Dragon landed his bare feet onto the ground, making a tiny noise on the floor tiles but not noticeable enough for anyone to hear from the outside.

Standing in front of Dracon was a pretty large electrical box along with a couple of water tanks and many pipes running through the room as well, though there was also a GIANT lever next to the electrical box. Before the red dragon could do anything though, he quickly heard a couple voices that were apparently right outside of the room he was in.

"HAND ME THAT CASE!"

*CHINK....CHINK*

"Oh sick! Sweet paper! We definitely ditchin boss now!"

"*PSSH* "OK,CAN YOU PLEASE LET SOME OF THE HOSTAGES GO?"*PSSH*" A voice emitted from what sounded like a walkie talkie.

"Oh yeah, I'll let them go, but first I'm gonna ENJOY ME SOME OF THAT HUMAN, HAHAHAHA!"

Dracon simply couldn't believe what he was hearing outside of the room he was in, and knew that he had to take action.

*****

"N-no! Please!"

I found myself pinned down on the table while the bear yanked down my jeans, exposing my boxers in front of everyone else that was sitting around the table. The bear was taking his time though, as he had to deal with keeping everyone in his control while waiting for his brother to get back.

At that moment though, I then heard another voice coming inside.

"YO BRO, did ya start without me? I got the paper!"

"SICK NIGGA, COME JOIN ME AND CONTROL THESE ASSHOLES WHILE I WORK THIS PATHETIC HUMAN!"

"Make him SUFFER for what he did you us nig!" Andre replied, putting the briefcase on the counter along with the walkie talkie, and shoving the Tiger back down against the table while he started to walk around the table to monitor everyone.

I started crying at that moment again, wanting everything to end as I also began to moan as well. It was then though that I heard the bear say in front of me:

"You know what, I had my fun with you that one time, but you're just an annoying fuck now. It's time for me to do what I came here to do." *CA-CHINK*

"N-no! Please no! Oh my god no!" I thought to myself, as I barely looked up and noticed the black bear gritting his teeth as he pointed the Uzi right at my face, ready to shoot at any second. I felt weak, humiliated, and pathetic at that point, and tears were flowing down my eyes again as this felt like the worst thing that had ever happened to me.

I was looking at the tip of the gun, as the bear was just about to end my pathetic life. Right as his finger was about to pull the trigger though....

*SHOOOOOOOM.....*

"WHAT THE FUCK?!?!" "What da fuck just happened?!"

Everyone in the room found themselves enshrouded in darkness, as all the lights went off in the room, with the only light source coming from the daylight emitting from the windows outside near the front.

"Yo Andre, check out what happened nigga!" I got this, no one is leaving here, not while I'm in here."

The bears quickly nodded at each other even though they could barely see one another, and Andre quickly walked towards the front to see what was going on. Marcus pulled his gun back to himself, and I still found myself alive, though I felt like my mind was completely blank as it felt like it couldn't process any more thoughts with everything that happened.

*****

"Come on....get over here...."

*****

"Shit....gotta stay low to avoid dem pigs......wait....what the fuck?!"

Andre quickly walked back to the front, looking around and not noticing anything at first, though he then realized that one of the doors near the bathroom was wide open....

"How da fuck did that door get opened?"

The bear quickly walked over and then realized that the electrical box was shut off inside what looked to be the utility room.

"YO MARC, SOMEON-"

"GUUNNNGGGHHH!! HHHUUNNGGHHHHH!!!!MMMNNNNNNFFFFFfffffffff......."

*****

"What the fuck was that?!" Marcus yelled, storming to the front after hearing a moaning noise from his brother.

*BANG*

The bear quickly kicked the swinging door, and looked to his right where his brother was yelling.

"HEY!"

"Oh sh-!"

*CLATTLE CLATTLE CLATTLE*

"GAHHHH!!!"

****

"That's it!!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

*CLATTLE*

"FU-" *CLATTLE*

"Fuck this!"

"GAHHH!!!!"

Once again, everything seemed like a blur to me as I remained on the table. I noticed out of the corner of my eye though that people were running towards the swinging door, almost as if they knew exactly what was going on, even though I didn't.

"DON'T YOU EVER HURT ANYONE AGAIN!" *STOMP STOMP STOMP*

*****

"HEY EVERYONE, MOVE IN!"

Almost all the cops on the scene rushed towards the restaurant as they noticed A LOT of people screaming out of the front door, while several others seemed to still be inside with the lights still out inside the café.

"It's ok! It's ok!" Several of the cops mentioned at the people that were crying and/or shaking as they ran out of the entrance of the building. One by one, more people were coming out, and the cops finally moved into the restaurant themselves.

As the cops entered inside, they then noticed that several people were standing on top of a couple of motionless bodies. One person though was going all out, hitting the motionless bear on the floor and screaming:

"YOU....*BASH* ARE....NEVER.....HURTING.....ANYONE.....AGAIN"

"Easy! Easy! Let us handle it!!!!" A few cops emitted, pulling the mage off of the bear.

In that span of a few minutes, much like all the other scenes that had gone down, several events occurred right then and there. After Dracon had knocked out Andre with a sleeper hold, Marcus stormed out, noticing the Dragon and shooting at him, with one of the bullets actually hitting the big dragon on his shoulder. Before the bear could shoot anymore though, several people couldn't take the situation anymore and charged Marcus all at once, completely throwing the bear off guard while the other people jumped on top of him, beating the bear up senseless till he was ultimately knocked out himself. One of the people that was especially beating up on Marcus was Emon, as the mage was much more pissed off than he was worried about everything that had gone down. It was at that moment that the cops also rushed in to help everyone. As all of this was going on though, Ord, Mike, Chowder, Sully, Eric, and Kimahri were still in the back room, as none of them wanted to leave each other at that moment.

*****

"Hhhhhnnnngghhh...."

*BEEP......BEEP.....BEEP.....BEEP.....*

"Hhhnnnggg....OW.....oh....fuck!!! w-where....am....I...."

Gordon woke up on his hospital bed, feeling a very sharp pain going through his body as he was trying to figure out his surroundings. Before he could think any further though.....he heard another voice near him.

"Good. I was wondering when you'd wake up."

*........O__O*

Gordon then noticed who was in his hospital room, and felt like he'd rather be dead at that moment when he saw the large Orange tiger coming up next to his hospital bed, with a look on his face that someone would NEVER want to mess with.

"Yeah, stare all you want, that's not gonna change anything. I know who you're with since you guys have tried to kill me, and my friends. Now, it's time you give me some answers about Marco, and I'm not going anywhere until you do."
