Blue: Chapter 15
A/N: And so cometh the action!
Freddy frowned as a sudden alarm went off somewhere in the complex. That wasn't good. He had no idea what it could be though. Had a fire started somewhere? Suddenly, a volley of prison guards rushed past their cell, yelling something about an attack on another compound. So that was what this was about. Freddy pulled Cassie closer to himself. The poor little fox whimpered in fright, having never seen something like this before. Freddy stroked her behind the ear, calming her down. Now was the time to act, this might be his only opportunity. He grabbed a lone guard that was running past and bashed his head against the bars, killing him instantly. He reaches through the bars and grabbed the guard's keys. This was all too tried the different keys in the lock until he found one that fit. He glanced back at Cassie, who was staring at him in awe, before opening the cell door and taking her paw. He led her outside and stopped next to the body of the guard. Freddy grinned to himself as he took his armor, gun, and keycard. He grabbed the fox by the paw again and led her through the catacombs that were the main HQ's basement

Black grinned madly as he picked up the rocket launcher. He would fire on Gold's mark. He was excited for this. It was the most fun he'd had in a long time. Orange gave him a concerned glance but went back to his own gun before the bear could notice. Gold grinned at the two of them.
"Mark!" Both fired at once, and immediately dropped their launchers, trading them for sub-machine guns and walking slowly toward the enemy compound, which was descending quickly into chaos. It was too easy, these people were so incompetent, it was amazing that they had lasted this long. The three stopped in some bushes and used them for cover. This is where strategy played a key role. They had to eliminate the major weapons caches before anything else. That was where the explosives were stored and consequently where the biggest boom would be made if a small fire was "accidentally" lit. A smile slowly spread across Gold's face as they entered the compound. They snuck to the first weapons cache, where Black promptly planted some C4. They did this for each cache in turn, then snuck out amidst the chaos of the initial attack. Once they were back at the car, Black raised the remote, and detonated all the explosives at once. Huge fireballs filled the sky and Black laughed maniacally. He'd probably never get to do that again, but doing it once was enough to make his life feel a little more complete.

Vio nodded as Gold talked over the radio, confirming the utter destruction of the first compound and therefore initiating the second stage of the plan. The rabbit looked at the others, nodding towards their current compound. Unlike the others, they didn't necessarily have to be inside to get access. Thanks to Gold's previous mission they had every access code they needed. Vio used his PDA to access the enemy's wi-fi and hack into their personal network. Once there he triggered several alarms inside the building and even activated the sprinkler system. The three of them laughed when he did this, and Vio grabbed as much data as he could while he was in there. After he was done he used the building to broadcast a chorus of voices that would tell Red that he was clear to enter the compound, initiating the third and final stage of the plan.

Red's face became serious as he listened to the radio. Playtime was over. He nodded once toward White, and left the van behind. Even from this distance he could see the trucks leaving the compound carrying troops that would be used to compensate for the loss at the base Gold's team had worked on. The only flaw in their plan, however, was that they were leaving this base severely understaffed. That was the whole reason for stages one and two, however.
Red carefully crawled into a vent that had been left unguarded due to the aforementioned lack of staff. He crawled until he could not hear the sound of voices and carefully dropped out at the next opening. He made his way slowly to the basement door, when he suddenly heard more voices.
"Shhhh. Shhh. It's okay Cassie. You're okay." Red's eyes widened. He knew that voice anywhere! But who was Cassie? He decided to keep listening. A small whimper followed his brothers words, followed by more soothing from Brown. Red sighed and stepped out from behind the corner, gun raised and ready to fire.
It was all Freddy could do not to burst into tears when he saw his brother. "Red!" He ran to his brother and hugged him close, a single tear escaping from his eye. Red hugged him back, but pulled away when he saw the small white fox cowering in the middle of the hallway.
"Who is this?" He said, gesturing with his free paw. Freddy looked back at Cassie with a worried expression.
"She's hurt, she needs our help." He looked back at his brother with pleading eyes. Red sighed and walked over to the fox, who whimpered once more as he approached. He petted her gently, calming her down.
"Let me see." He said, gesturing to her arm where the bandages were only visible from close up. Red checked the bandages to look for any signs that the blood was leaking through the bandage. Luckily it wasn't, but she still seemed very weak. Red gently lifted her into his arms, handing his gun off to Brown. "You okay to shoot?"
"As okay as I ever was." Both bears sauntered back down the hall, killing anyone who tried to stop them. Red grinned to himself. Everything felt so right.
A/N: Don't worry about Black's sanity! I'm working on it... Red as well XD. Anyway, that was really fun to write, though, I'm not so sure I'm the best at action scenes. No idea when the next chapter will be ready. Until next time~
