-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"W-Willow.."
"Frankie.. And the other two I forgot the names of.."
"Excuse me-"
Axel said with a offended face. Everyone stared at Axel then Willow before, the silence that covered the woods, became laughter. Frankie remembered the days back then when Willow and Dagger would joke around. Speaking of Dagger Frankie was the first to stop laughing.
"That's new.."
Willow said staring at the small skunk.
"DAGGER! Where did they go.."
Frankie had said with a very worried expression.
"They left a while ago.."
Axel said with a bit of a guilty look, he looked down in disappointment. He knew he should've just stayed with Dagger but decided to wander off with Kevin.
"WEREN'T YOU SUPPOSE TO BE WITH THEM!?!"
Frankie shouted with tears slowly creeping into his eyes. As he slowly starts tremble. Willow noticed this and brought Frankie into a gentle hug, Willow had always gave anyone the best hugs, but sadly she rarely gave hugs of course-
"W-What i-if w-we loose D-Dagger again.."
"Again?"
"Let's say.. An incident had happened..."
"..."
Willow stared at the two standing before her and than the one in her arms. She sighed "Fine if you.. Want my help we can look for this 'Dagger' together." Frankie's eyes lit up, and hugged Willow tighter why sobbing a little. "THANK YOU!" he shouted muffled a little in the wolf's arms. Willow looked at Frankie a little more before looking at Kevin and Axel. "It's been a while since we last spoke, huh?" Willow had stated at the two animals before they both responded with a silent nod.
"Umm, Willow who are they??"
Willow jumped a little before looking over at the group of people standing behind her.
"O-Oh, these are very very veryyy old friends of mine!"
Willow said a little nervously.
"Mhm, Sure but they won't stop you from helping us..."
Frankie peered from the wolf's arms and saw a Pony standing there with a little annoyed face. Standing next to him were a giraffe, mole, a small pig, and in the middle of Willow and the group were two zebras.
"Wait..."
Axel lifted his head up and away from Willow and stared at the horse. Soon after so did Kevin. Axel pulled the axe off his back and gripped the handle stained in blood from the animals and infected he had slaughtered.
"YOU! YOU YOU YOU YOU!!!"
Axel shouted walking towards the horse, his pace getting faster ever second.
"BECAUSE OF YOU DAGGER WAS NEVER GONNA BE FUCKING NORMAL BECUASE YOU HAD TO GO FUCK THAT UP!"
"Umm... I don't remember you so.. You are..?"
The horse stated with a little snarl.
"Shut up you dumb horse!"
".."
The horse stayed quiet staring at the fox.
"Has the little fox gone.. Savage?"
This made Axel stop only a few feet away from the smart aleck that stands in front of him. Axel eyes a bit widen by the comment he made at him.
"How dare you.."
"How dare I what? State only the truth for such a dangerous creature."
"SHUT UP!! YOUR THE DUMB SAVAGE HERE!"
The yelling abruptly stopped as they heard a gunshot fire into the sky with a short but pissed of growl.
"SHUT THE HELL UP! BOTH YOU GOD DAMNIT!"
Willow stated with a pissed off look.
"Umm, sorry 'Ms. Willow' didn't mean to make you grumpy."
Pony stated why rolling his eyes, and crossing his arms.
"U-Umm Pony who are they?"
The little pig asked why he lightly tugged onto Pony's jacket.
"They are... Du-"
"I'm Axel."
"Frankie!"
"Kevin.."
The three stated as they lined up in front of the group that stood in front of them.
"Oh! I remember you guys! You were Mr. Dagger's friends! But than.. You disappeared.."
"Oh, you remember us Georgie!"
"Mhm!"
"Well it is nice seeing you again!"
Frankie says ending the sentence with a wide smile. He stands up and looks at the two smaller zebras, smiling a little bigger.
"HI ZUZY AND ZEE!"
He shouts a little loud with a huge smile and a little wave towards them.
"HI MR. FRANKIEEE!!!"
They both said syncing as they waved back aggressively with wide smiles. Frankie looks at the mole and giraffe bowing a little to acknowledge there presence. "Nice to see you to." the two said with a small smile. "So, you know them..?" Willow speaks up with a skeptical look on her face while raising one eyebrow slightly. "Oh! Yes, we ran into each other at a mall actually it was a safe place we had found with Kevin's help! That's how we found Dagger-" Kevin said chuckling a little at the end. "Well.." Willow started and quickly paused as the giraffe groaned a little and winced in pain. "O-Ow! The w-wound h-h-hurts still.." The giraffe stuttered out before dropping to the ground holding his chest a little still.
"HEY! WILLOW!"
A voice called out from behind willow. It belonged to a female voice, it kind of sounded high pitched but not a real high pitch sound.
"Uh, Huh? HEY! YOUR THOSE PEOPLE WHO LEFT US BEHIND!"
A cat that was maybe a foot shorter than Willow herself. She stared at the horse with a disgusted and angry look.
"CAN'T WAIT TIL' I GET MY DAMN HANDS ON YOU!!"
The cat screamed before looking at the skunk.
"Wait.. You those people who had helped us... Wait."
"Hm?"
Frankie hummed has he tilted his head with a slight confused expression.
"There was another one.. They had a hood on an a mask? Shorter than like all of y'all-"
"Oh... Well you see, we kind of lost them.."
"Waiiitt! Has anyone here seen Tigery!?"
The cat said while raising an eyebrow. And putting one hand on her hip. A panda than came out from behind a tree and taps the orange cat shaking there head. Willow saw this and became a little furious.
"That Tiger again?! Always gone! He probably took Dagger!"
Frankie head perked up to the statement the wolf had made.
"WELL!?! LETS GET GOING!"
Axel said standing up quickly, he swirled the axe in hand a little before throwing it onto his back. Frankie stared at him and nodded before grabbing Kevin's paw and staring up at him. "We are gonna find him!" Frankie said reassuring the panda. You couldn't usual tell when Kevin expression or feelings changed, unless you have been with him since childhood or even years. But he was shaking pretty badly and pulled his hood down a little as he shivered. Axel stared down at him with a small smile. "Hey..." he said trying to check up on the small panda. But Kevin just ignored him before walking away from him and joining Frankie with the others. Axel looked a little sad when Kevin walked away from him. The fox let out a small sigh, he wondered for a little why Kevin was mad at him. The fox leaned on the tree getting deeper into thought each second some of those thoughts not being the best. Until he felt a little tap on his shoulder he looked over at a slightly smaller fox.
"HI!"
The red fox shouted at the taller fox.
"Hello?"
He said in a questioned tone.
"I'M FELIX! THE MAGICAN!"
The smaller fox had said with an exited but in a introducing type of way.
"I'm Axel...?"
"Well, I never really seen any other foxes!"
"Oh.. Cool? We met, so like what now??"
"Let me show you a magic trick! Hm?"
He said why humming the end part. Axel looked around a bit and then sadly nodded yes to his question that almost felt like an order from him to say yes-
"GREAT!"
The red fox known as 'Felix the Magician' pulls off his little top hat he had on and turns it over to the bowl end was facing up. He stared at Axel with a smile before waving his hand over the end of the small top hat. Reaching into the hat he pulls out a little note that he crumbles up and makes it disappear.
"Is that all..?"
Axel questioned Felix with a concerned face for the small thing.
"NOPE!"
Felix shouted before kicking Axel down onto the ground and grabbing behind his ear a coin that he rips in front of him before helping him stand up.
"That was!"
"Okay? And what was the kicking my ankle part for?"
"Oh! That was for me to reach behind your ear of course!"
"Why not just ask me to bend down?"
"Not as.. How to put it... Magical?"
The red fox stated with smug smirk on his face, you could see him trying not to laugh at the marble fox standing before him with a little bit of a pissed off face.
"Funny."
"Pffft!! HAHAHAH!!! YOUR FACE! AAHAHAHAHA!!"
The smaller fox fell to the ground in laughter as the taller fox kicked him in the stomach in a playful way.
"OwWWwWW!"
Felix complained before standing up and pouting a little.
"Oh no, want me to like kiss your boo boo?"
"SHUT UP!"
"Heh"
Axel chuckled a little before there fun was over with a panda coming over the same one that was next to the cat.
"Hi?"
Axel said raising an eyebrow.
"They don't talk!"
Felix states at Axel before looking at the Panda with a little grin. The panda bends down towards Felix's ear and whispers something inaudible for Axel to hear. The panda leaves and the red fox perks up looking towards Axel again with his usual goofy smile. "The panda name was Pandy by the way!" Felix said quickly towards Axel as he stood there listening. "mm, okay.", "Oh! And the cat's name is Kitty!" Felix says once again quickly.
-TimeSkip-
It was around 10:37 pm at night and everyone was walking to this "dock" that Willow had talked about. She had told the other three Axel, Kevin, and Frankie to catch them up on what they were doing. "So... Were getting a cure that could.. Possibly stop this hell hold?" Axel states looking down at the wolf. "Yes. That is correct Axel." Willow said agreeing to what the fox had said. "What.. If there like isn't one?" Kevin said pausing in and out of sentences, why also stopping a little. This caused a little train reaction making everyone stop and process what the panda had said. Well, was he wrong? This 'cure' for all they could know be destroyed and gone by the time they even could remotely get near it. Willow looked back Kevin and sighed before looking ahead of her into the empty void of trees. "Well, who said there wasn't gonna be any challenges to this 'cure' even I know there isn't that much hope in this cure." Willow said why keeping her stare into the dark shadows looming onto everything in front of her. "That's the thing. What are we doing this for if there is a risk there is no good prize waiting for us." Kevin said a little louder towards Willow. "Well, to start things off you can't always expect things to go correctly at first. But I promise there will be something good waiting at the end of all this chaos." The wolf said turning her head from the shadows to face the panda with a serious glare. "This is reality after all." she stated one more time before going to stare at the void again. Frankie opened his mouth to add something into this some type of argument, but nothing would come out so he stayed silent. Willow started walking again before stopping abruptly after maybe another ten miles they had walked since, Kevin an Willow had there little side argument. "Well.. We are here!" Willow yelled throwing her gun at Frankie who caught it just in time. "Why'd you throw this at me Willow?" the small skunk asked tilting his head a little confused. "Well the horse doesn't trust me enough so I put you in charge of the weapon instead." The wolf stated before turning at the little town that was just in front of the large group that laid on the dock. The mole looked at Willow for a bit before speaking, "I will stay here with the kids you go with Frankie and Axel and Kevin can go together." the wolf looked at the ground for a while before responding with a nod. And just like that Willow grabbed Frankie gently walking off into the mist that almost made you seem like you had faded off into the air like a ghost. Why Axel and Kevin stared at each other before Kevin started walking getting the head start. The taller fox just stared at Kevin why slowly following behind him. Pony stood there looking down at the red fox who looked sad that he couldn't go with the taller fox. "You can go with them kid. I don't mind..." Felix perked his head up looking at him with a toothy grin. "First, I'm not a kid! Second, really?!?!" the small fox shouted a little why staring at the horse with a huge smile. "Yes.. I don't I most likely will be staying down here with Mimi and the kids anyways." Pony said looking the younger ones than back at the fox who had already sprinted up and up the stairs to go look for where the Tall fox and medium sized panda had disappeared to. Now the question is, where will the two groups go? Are there any enemies that could be lurking on the small port? Would Felix run into any traps or danger on the way to find his way to Axel and Kevin? What will Mimi and the other waiting at the dock do why they wait for the other unknown return? I guess find out these questions for the next chapter maybe they might just be answered.
