Fursona Rift Chapter 2
#2 of Fursona Rift
Hey everyone watching me. Okay, that sounded better in my head. Anyway here is chapter 2 for Fursona Rift. I am balancing writing and school and band practice (yes i am in band and marching band is taking most of my time. I am thinking about not writing anything else for Legends of Animor since I've been on a writer's block for it. Comment below if you think i should try to continue it. Any criticism on this story will be taken to account. Enjoy.
Chase Spottedfur
Chapter 2
On the way home, we did get a few looks at Velox. I mean, if you see a walking white cheetah that wears clothes, you would stare at him, too. There was no trouble, just a few dirty looks. Not everyone likes the fandom, and it shows some here.
The looks ended as I turned off the highway. We drive a few more blocks to get to Malbird Street. Chris also lives here, so I don't have to go far if he needs help.
It would be a few hours before our parents get home, so we ate pizza at my house.
"So, how are we going to hide Velox. Do your parents even know about the fandom?" Chris asked.
"No, they don't. As for Velox, I can hide him as well as I can, but they are going to find him no matter what. I was thinking that I should just introduce him to them," I said.
"But, from what I have seen in your memories," Velox stated, "your parents don't take well to new things. It is unpredictable what they would do."
"I know that, but its better just to get it over with than have them find you. I mean, they haven't taken well with me hiding stuff from them. Remember the time we tried to skip school?"
"That is true," Chris and Velox said at the same time.
"We need to come up with a plan before our parents get home, which is in 5 hours," I said.
"I could stay here and help you explain to your parents," Chris said.
"What about when your parents come home?" I said.
"I thought ahead. When I called, I said that you were also sick and we had homework in the same class that I might need help on."
"Doesn't sound bad. You have your bag here, so that would help with the alibi. How we are going to explain it is something else. This is different than going public as a furry."
"Would it help to explain that I am a part of you?" Velox suggested.
"Maybe."
We spent the next 3 hours to plan out how we are going to explain and ask for Velox's staying at my house. It is a bit tough, since my parents can be unpredictable. They used to be unreasonable when it came to the fandom, but they have accepted that. I just don't know how they feel about it now.
After that, we just played Super Smash Bros. until my parents got home. It was tough against Velox because he picked Fox and I picked Falco, both from Star Fox, and almost the exactly same moves. Chris picked Kirby, because of his absorbing special attack ability. Even with it, he was defeated in 15 seconds in one-life elimination.
"You two just made a beeline straight towards me when the match started," Chris complained.
"What can I say. Great minds think alike," I said.
"Is that why you are both at a stalemate with Fox and Falco?"
"Yeeeaaahhh... I think we should have had a computer fighter in this. This is a bit boring, AH COME ON!" I said right as Fox on screen right roundhouse kicked Falco off the screen.
"He has my skill," I said.
"He is maybe better. Try Lucario next time both of you, and be sure to have a computer player as pokemon trainer. I love battling him," Chris said.
"Yeah, I know. 7 difficulty?"
"Do you have to ask?"
"Ok, next round in three, two," I hear a car driving into the garage. I notice Velox has heard it as well, but Chris is looking at the screen waiting for the next round. "Mom is home."
"What? I didn't hear a car," Chris said. "Your mom has that really silent electric car."
"Yeah, but I swear that I heard it come into the garage."
"You might have enhanced senses from me," Velox said.
"That's cool, but Mom is about to enter the house."
"Feel better, Chase?" Mom called from the door to the garage.
"Yeah. Chris was sick at lunch, too. And he had trouble with a couple of homework problems."
"I have no problem with that."
"It's just I have something to show you."
"Okay, what is it?" asked Mom. I was nervous about her reaction. It could vary from complete acceptance to calling the cops and SWAT team. I would prefer the former.
"Promise not to freak out."
"Would it really be that bad?" I don't know, unless an anthro cheetah in the house is that bad.
"Come here to the living room."
Mom appeared in the doorway a few seconds later. She looked confused looking for it, but when she set eyes on Velox, she was backing away.
"Mom, he won't hurt anyone here."
"What is that? A white cheetah with blue spots? Wearing clothes? And standing? Is this something from the furry thing you do?"
I look back at Velox and his expression says to tell the entire truth.
"Mom this is my fursona, Velox Spottedfur. I don't know why he is here, but when I found him, he was going to be shot by 2 agents in an alley. Something big is happening, but I don't know what."
"I can back him on that," Chris said.
We spent a few minutes in silence to let that sink in.
"There was talk about something like this at work." She works a government job in local intelligence. "Something about the purging of pests, but they were different as they said."
Velox stood and stated, "All I did was try to find Chase, and I got jumped. A gun to my head."
"So you can talk. This is beyond what the government can do," Mom said, before there were knocks on the door.
"Mom, if they are agents, act normal. If its Dad, get him in here quick. If it's Chris's dad, tell him that Chris is here, and is feeling better, but is still working on homework."
"Ok, what codeword should I say when its an agent." Mom is cool in this aspect, because she watches spy movies and can understand a code almost immediately if coded.
"Have a food, likeeeee.... meatloaf," suggested Chris.
"Okay. If it's an agent just say in a regular voice meatloaf. You can find a clever way to hide it," I said.
Mom went to open the door and greet the person.
I used my enhanced hearing to listen to the conversation.
"Oh! Hi Tom. What are you doing here?" Mom said. This is going badly, because neither my dad's nor Chris's dad's name is Tom. But it still could be a random person.
"Hello, Elizabeth. Did you know that Paul and Blake are dead?"
"What?! What happened?"
"They were attacked while on a mission. Headshots. Looked like a professional ambush. I have info that your son was a part of it."
"What was the mission? And why did you think my son was part of it?"
"Classified. Anyway, I wish to see your son."
"Well we are about to eat my famous meatloaf," At that word, I usher Velox into the coat closet. "He was sick and home at that time."
"I need to see your son, ma'am."
"Well, fine. He is playing video games right now." I motion for Chris to start the battle that we were on without the third player. "They just finished a battle a minute ago, but you can't hear the TV here."
"I need to see Chase now," he forcefully implied.
"Fine. Come on in." I then focused on the match on the TV. Chris didn't switch the characters so I was Lucario battling Chris as Kirby and the Lucario and Pokemon Trainer computers. The computers were kicking my butt, until I focused and immediately sent one off the screen for elimination. I then charged an energy ball and loosed it at Charizard (one of the pokemon the Pokemon trainer can bring out. It collided and sent Charizard down to 0 HP. I then looked at Kirby on the screen and used his ninja vanish move to slice him in the air, then catch him in a focus blast. That sent him flying, but he caught himself on the edge. A fan item spawned and i ran and hit Kirby with it, making him fly off the screen, resulting in my victory.
"Damn it, Chase. You are just too good for this game," Chris acted out.
"What can I say. I finished the campaign by myself on hard. It was good practice," I said, flowing with the lie. I noticed the agent enter the room and opened mental connection with Velox, entering the mental room while still in control of my body.
He has the same suits and earpieces as the other, Velox said. It was your mother's agency that sent him and his friends.
Yeah, but she had no idea about you or anything about this.
"Chase, where were you at 12:30?" Tom asked. This guy just started off bad at interrogating, and everyone but him knew about it.
Wow straight to the point. This guy has no idea how to interrogate teens. Velox said in the mental link.
Yeah. He doesn't know how the advanced stuff works. In my mind, I was sitting in a small conference room with Velox, watching a screen of what I am looking at with my body.
I move to sit down on the couch facing the agent.
"I was not feeling good and about home. I called mom earlier and she knows about it," I said.
"So she says. We had a situation at that time that was in your vicinity. Not near here, but downtown."
Basic lie catching. I said.
You probably know what to do. Velox said
I made myself look confused and said, "I wasn't aware that anything important was happening. I was just trying to get home quick so I don't throw up in my truck. It's a great truck and I don't want it messy. You've seen it, right?"
"It is nice, but I need answers. I know you were apart of it, as you are a furry."
"What does that have to do with anything? Chris is a furry." Be careful Velox, he has some idea, surprisingly.
Got it just keep the shroud to having no idea.
"Where is Velox?" Tom asked.
Velox jumped back in the mental room. Never mind. He knows I'm here. How, though, I have no idea.
I got to get you out of here.
How? I'm in that closet over there. I'm still watching from the keyhole there. Here is my view. A screen appeared showing Velox's view. There is minimal chance for me to escape. The chance is larger if we take him out quick.
"He's not real. He is just a alternate me online."
"Well, I know that he is real, he is here, and he is in that closet," Tom said, pointing to Velox's closet
How the hell did he figure that out! I said.
Damn it. He must have started basic to make us overconfident. We gave stuff away without knowing it. Velox said.
You have ice powers right?
I think so. I haven't used them yet.
Can you try to just barge in and freeze the guy?
I'll try. We both leave the mental room. I find Tom walking towards the closet, when it swung open, revealing Velox with a ball of energy in his hand. He chucks it toward Tom. It turns into a snowball and smacks him in the face.
"Really? A snowball?" Chris asked. It wasn't impressive.
"Looks like I need work," Velox said. Tom didn't take it lightly and pulled out a pistol of the same specs as the alley agents.
"Look out!!" I sprint towards Velox and barrel into him just as Tom took the shot. It missed, but I landed on Velox and then he disappears. I get up and look around for him, as I know I'm not dreaming.
Everyone was staring at me. I don't know if I did something important, but I looked at Tom, and grew angry as he was about to kill a part of me, and released an energy ball that froze him to his neck. Wait... energy ball? I didn't have that power.
I look down to see Velox's body where I should be.
What do you think about it? Velox thought.
I feel... powerful. Is this what you feel all the time?
No. I feel hungry and tired and confused and, yes, powerful.
Well, everyone is staring at us.
Try to switch to human form.
I focus the power to switch to human form
"I wish I was you right now," Chris said.
"Well its not that fun being me right now," I said. Mom was in the other room at the time so when she came in and saw Tom frozen to the neck, she was wide-eyed.
"What happened?"
"He tried to kill Velox again."
"Why is he frozen?"
"It's Velox's power, and we had to come up with a quick plan when he knew he was here."
"Sooo, where is he?"
I pointed towards me and Chris pointed to me as well. "I merged with him. And now have a cheetah form." I morph to Velox. "Quite impressive."
Chris spoke up. "Can you interrogate him for us. There is some things we need to know. And you're the best here."
"Okay. Man, it is getting weird. What is the mission that you are on," Mom said calmly.
"Classified," Tom sternly said.
"I can make an ice spike go slowly through his arm if needed. Ice powers here."
"Okay. Just one though. And make it through his left arm. He broke it there a year ago."
"You are also with the government. How could you do this to another government official."
"This is my son you are threatening, even if he is a, whatever he is. Family before government. You know what I'm like."
"Yeah, but this is extreme."
"You had better speak up, or you are going to be in pain here quickly."
"There is a company that is doing something. I don't know what, but they asked us to take care of all that come through. Something about a parallel universe thing."
"What company is it?" I half growled, half said, my anger rising.
"Classified."
"Lets see if we can get it out," I said. I focused the energy inside the cocoon of ice to make a spike drive into his arm, very slowly. As the spike digs into his arm, he winces with pain.
"Come on. Just tell us the company. That is all we want to know. Oh, and how many "others" the agents have taken out."
"Never." The ice spike continues through his arm. He is trying not to cry out, but is about to crack.
After a few moments, "AAAHHH! Virtasia! Virtasia!"
"The company?" Chris asked.
"Yes! And we have taken out one before Velox!"
"He's cracked. What should we do with him?" Chris asked. I melt the ice and Tom falls to the ground from the pain he experienced.
"I missed the nerves, arteries, and veins, so he won't bleed." I said.
"Let him go. Like anyone will believe him anyway," Mom said. "I mean, getting stabbed in the arm without a wound by an anthropomorphic cheetah with ice powers is ridiculous."
"Ahem." I point to myself. "I wonder if I could separate with Velox again."
Are you sure you want to try now? Velox said in my mind.
Yeah. If there is trouble you could just merge with me again.
Okay. Man, I wish there was a control center about our link. Lets wander around here.
Velox and I wander around the halls of my mind and see a security center, or something like that. We walk in and see a control board full of buttons. I search and find a button that was labeled "Separate." I look towards Velox and press the button. We were teleported out, and find ourselves in my living room, Tom still on the floor, and everyone watching. Dad arrived home and witnessed the separation.
"What. The. Hell."
"This might take a while to explain," I said.
