World of Paws: Destiny of the Brood

Concert Victims

(Kina Staava-Kitty Staava's 18 year old daughter. - Species: Tabby-Calico Cat breed. Hardly hangs with anyone except for her best friend Javaia Kutnni. Young singer and high school student who is also an aspiring actress just like her mother. Currently in his school's theater club.)

(Javaia Kutnni, 19 year-old red squirrel-chipmunk hybrid furry shown above. Aubrey's favorite singing artist and is kidnapped by an Bryan Lombardi. He's the leader of a group who pride themselves on poaching, devouring wild ones, and even other furries before they get the chance to testify against him.)

Two days later, Sherman and the gang decide to out go to live concert showcasing one of the top singers Javaia Kutnni, a red squirrel who is at the top of the charts.
Sherman: "Okay team, we have done a lot of hero work for the past to two nights, so... what do you all say to going out to a concert."
Cherie Mae: "Oh my gosh! I love concerts!"
Stella: "Me too! Me too! Which are we going to Sherman?"
Sherman: "Uhm... we'll you two weren't exactly with us while patrolling Coastal City or even Arkson City."
Cherie Mae: "But me and my sister have been practicing our spiritual abilities too."
Stella: "Yeah, watch us."
They fire ten energy orbs into the air as if they were in synch.
Cherie Mae: "I mean we both practiced just for you."
Stella: "Can we go, please?"
Sherman: "Fine. But... you two need a lot more training than that. I'll show you both how to master different moves when get the chance."
Cherie Mae: "Really? Yes! Thank you so much!"
Stella: "Yes! Thank you, Razor Wolf!"
The tan and grey girl rabbits hug him affectionately.
Aubrey: "Ahem! Ease up, you two. He's already my Razor Wolf. Keep your paws to yourselves."
Cherie Mae: "No need to get defensive, Ms. hissy fit of the arctic."
Stella: "Yeah, it's not like you're the only one who gets to have him. It sounds like you failed at mating with him."
Aubrey: "We... Sherman and I mated together because I love him. You two only want to screw with him just because of his looks and fame! You two are just so shallow."
Cherie Mae: "Not true! He's the reason why me and my sister are still alive today, and we both love him for him way more than you do!"
Stella: "You think just because you're the closest to him that you deserve him the most?!? Think again arctic hare! Your species are so common that no one even makes you the first pick to date. Especially with those short ears."
Aubrey: "Says the one who eavesdrops on everyone's conversations! But I guess that's what everyone expects from jackrabbits?"
Cherie Mae: "You want start something, Aubrey?!"
Cherie Mae and Stella start charging up their paws, ready to strike against Aubrey.
Aubrey: "Go ahead and try me."
Aubrey's paws begin to glow.
Sherman: "Alright, stop it! We're all supposed to be having a decent night out and just have fun. Are we all still going to the Javaia Kutaio concert. Or not?"
Victoria: "We all still want to go."
Neal: "Yeah!"
Radinavia: "I can keep them from fighting."
Neal: "You really are good at that."
Radinavia: "Hehe... thanks, Neal."
Sherman: "Good... so now we can finally go. And have fun and listen to some music."
Zelene: "Sherman's right. We deserve a good treat after these nightly patrols and hunting dealers and weapons traffickers."
Mitchell: "Yes, but me and Mei found evidence during our team's patrol yesterday. A file from a Gila Monster crook's coat pocket that indicated that the Feral-60 Threshers and the Crimson Raiders have someone with ties to the local government and is funding their operations.
Zelene: "Whoa... really?"
Mitchell: "Yeah. And this is big. It referred to someone who's a senator on the Arkson City council. Senator Susan Covelle.
Sherman: "Susan Covelle? That name sounds familiar. She was the one who goes against most of the bills that their council has passed.
Aubrey: "Why would a senator be working with common criminals?"
Sherman: "It might be for either greed, control, or because they have dirt on her. Either way, it's a form of corruption within the council. We need to get this evidence back to the mayor of Arkson City and warn him about Senator Covelle's involvement. Mitchell? Do you and Mei still have the file?"
Mitchell: "Mei and I placed it on your dad's lab table during our meeting yesterday ."
Jobahon: "Why didn't you tell us?"
Mei: "We tried to get a word in, but Sherman was too busy giving his patrol plans."
Sherman: "Okay, I apologize for that. But we're going to deliver this to the council in Arkson City tomorrow."
Jobahon: "That's great except me and Riley just looked up the opening hours of the building, Sherman. The City Hall in Arkson City is closed for tomorrow."
Sherman: "Is it open on the day after?"
Riley: "Hmm... yes. Yes, it is."
Sherman: "Then we take the evidence to them on the day after school ends tomorrow."
The whole Crisis Brood nods and agrees with him. Bavos, the only leopard in their team then speaks up.
Bavos: "You heard him! We'll do it when we can, but for now let's get in there and soak up some sounds!"
He excitedly says while cheering wildly.
Sherman: "Thank you! Now it's concert time!"
Wallace: "Yeah!"
Triskah: "Yes!"
Cherie Mae: "Whoo!"
Stella: "Yeah!"
Jackson Junior: "Whoo!"
Ruth: "Yes!"
Mallory: "Yes!"
Zaino: "On it to the party!"
Yuki: "Don't leave me behind, Zane-Zane!"
Elsie: "Ahem, clearly he'll party with me first!"
Zaino: "Ahem, enough fighting you two."
Desmond: "I've been waiting for a fun time for too long! Let's gooo!"
Jaronte: "He's right."
Reva: "Me too."
Cassie: "Same here."
Victoria: "Yay!"
Zakari: "Fast lane here we come!"
Cecelia: "Can't wait to see who's singing tonight!"
The entire group goes inside seeing thousands of furries dancing, socializing, and listening to regular stand-in music.
......Shortly after......
Shrew Stage Manager: "Ladies and gentlemen! Please... welcome the two famous singing starlets of the evening, Javaia Kutnni and Kina Staava!"
Two gorgeous furry girls, walk out on stage, and greet the crowd.
Javaia: "Good afternoon party people! How's it going?"
Concert Crowd: (cheers out)
Kina: "I see a lot of faces here! Even several new ones!"
She notices Sherman's face in the audience and pauses for moment before speaking.
Kina: "And a another special guest as well! Ladies and gentlemen! Furries all around! Give some cheers for the son of the most famous hero in the country, Sherman Tontione!"
Two of the stage lights shine at the front part of the audience and aim over Sherman and his team. Thus, causing everyone to cheer and shake his paws while friends also get asked some questions.
......Shortly after......
Sherman: "Alright! Me and my team will try and answer your questions afterwards! But for now let's just enjoy this concert! Come on now, huh!? Yeah!"
The entire crowd cheers for his words and turn back to the main stage and chatter as they pour each other some punch and red wine. They all start cheering seconds later as Javaia and Kina start singing their newest hit song.
......'Best Night of Your Life' Song Begins......
As your life will take a turn
It's gonna be bright
It's gonna be real real bright now
As you move through the night
We're get down and rock
I know what you all truly want
There are be plenty good souls
To spend your lives with tonight
Cause this will be the best night of your life,
The best night of your life,
The best night of your life,
So shake it out,
Shake it out,
Shake it out as the night rolls,
Don't shuffle,
Just dance as much as you want,
Cause the music speeds up,
Whenever the light comes you embrace it,
And things will seem much less dark,
Ooohwooah! Oooyah! Oooyah!
This is the best night of your life,
I'm gonna know when to roll out again,
This is the best night of your life.
Ooooh woah! Yeah!
Make it your best, y'all!
......Song Ends......
The crowd cheers wildly as the song ends. Javaia and Kina bow to the crowd and then subtly wink in Sherman's direction.
Sherman casually claps in response. He struggles to hold back a blush. Aubrey on the other hand glares at Javaia and Kina.
Aubrey: "No one makes goo-goo eyes at my man."
Aubrey's head starts to boil again.
Sherman: "Aubs, relax. Shh... relax."
He massages her shoulders.
Aubrey: "Thank you, Shermie. I'm sorry."
Sherman: "Relax, everyone stares at me all the time when they realize I'm here."
Aubrey: "I know, I'm just being protective of my man."
Sherman: "And I always appreciate that."
Jackson Junior: "Dang, if only had met Javaia Kutnni instead... one of Music Stars Magazine's top stars.
Ruth: "Excuse me! Get your tongue off the ground, JJ!"
Jackson Junior: "Obviously not as hot as you, Ruth. Heheh."
Ruth: "Heh, yeah. You better keep your muzzle on my body and not on Ms. Hotzie Totsy, up there JJ."
Someone bumps into Jackson Junior as they go towards the stage and stands eerily at the side of the action.
Jackson Junior: "Look over there. A strange figure with a familiar symbol on his left arm. I'm going to keep tabs on him."
Sherman: "It's one of those poachers, the ones who call themselves the National Arms Association."
Jackson Junior: "The NAA? Attacking a concert? Don't they typically trespass on protected preserves to illegally hunt wild ones?"
Sherman: "Yeah, but something else is off. He's here for a reason."
Desmond: "Can I take him on now, brother?"
Sherman: "Not until we're sure he's a threat, little bro. Mallory? Do you see anyone else?"
Mallory: "No? I'm not seeing anyone?"
Sherman: "Okay. Aubrey, Desmond, and I will keep an out for anymore suspicious individuals ."
Cherie Mae: "Handsome? Err... I mean Sherman. I spotted another guy walking in. A warthog with a one machine gun and a pistol with a holster."
Sherman: "Do not engage him until he and his painter dog friend try anything."
Mitchell and Mei walk around the back of the crowd to get a better look at the figure near the stage. He uses the bio scanner, Sherman loaned him."
Mitchell: "Sherman? I ran a scan of our mystery figure by the stage. His name is Bryan Lombardi. He's wanted for domestic and international poaching across ten countries. Also, for trafficking exotic wild ones and even other furries. Especially those who are carnivores."
Sherman: "Bryan Lombardi. Okay, let's see if we can take him down quietly. We don't want to alarm or cause a panic within the crowd."
Aubrey: "You heard him. Let's move."
Zaino: "There's several more entering through the doors behind the crowd."
Yuki: "They have guns and knives. What should we do?"
Elsie: "We wait until Sherman gives the go-ahead."
Mitchell: "Sherman they are moving in faster. Don't do it!
Mei: "Energy Grip!"
Suddenly one of the NAA members fires a shot to the ceiling and is caught by Mei's powerful spirit energy grip to hold him in place.
NAA Poacher 1: "What the heck is going on?"
NAA Poacher 2: "I don't know! Just try shooting!"
NAA Poacher 3: "What is going on now? I can't move a muscle!"
Mei: "Not happening anytime soon. Mitchell grab that rope on the stage!"
The whole crowd is ducking in terror as the place starts to get lit with with automatic gunfire from Lombardi and his warthog associate.
Bryan Lombardi: "Neilson! Kill and grab them all!"
Neilson Durand: "Trying! But it's like there's an invisible shield! My bullets keep bouncing off!"
Bryan: "It's those teens! I don't care how it takes to break the energy shield, just kill them!"
Sherman: "Aubrey! Tell the others get everyone out!"
Aubrey: "No, I'm not leaving you!"
Sherman nods approvingly as she helps him hold the giant shield above the party guests.
Meanwhile, outside the building, Zaino, Elsie, and Yuki run after several more NAA conspirators throw balls of concentrated light energy towards them; knocking out Bryan Lombardi's cohorts at the same time.
NAA Poacher: "Ugh... what the... Ahhh!"
Zaino: "What's the big rush?"
NAA Poacher: "As if I'd tell you anything, brat!"
Zaino: "Talk now, or I use my powers in a less orthodox type of way!"
Zaino uses the spirit thunder grip ability to shock him into talking.
NAA Poacher: "Ahhh! Ahhh! No, no, no! Okay I'll talk! I said I'll talk!"
Zaino: "I don't believe you yet!"
Zaino tightens his grip and shocks him even more.
NAA Poacher: "Raaaah! Gah!! Please, just stop! I swear!"
Zaino tosses him to the ground and forcefully steps on his neck.
Elsie: "Zaino, you're going to kill him!"
Zaino: "Maybe I should, since he's refused to talk the second we asked him questions."
Elsie: "He won't be able to talk if we kill him."
Zaino then releases his spiritual grip and removes his shoe from his neck.
Yuki: "Zaino, you're frightening me."
In Yuki's Mind: "Oh my gosh, he's interrogated so forcefully! But in a way I kind of like it."
In Elsie's Mind: "I made a promise to myself to never kill anyone, no matter bad they are."
Elsie: "Now please tell us."
Zaino: "Yeah, otherwise I won't stop the next time. You're very lucky that they called me off buddy boy!"
NAA Poacher: (sighs) "We are working with everyone who offers us a deal and a cut. That's all I can say."
Elsie: "Okay."
Yuki: "Tell us who they are."
NAA Poacher: "I don't know who they are.
Mr. Lombardi knows though. Hehe, but you won't catch him or anyone else today."
Zaino: "Then what do you call that over there?"
NAA Poacher: (mumbles) "Dang."
Sherman and the others appear with the NAA's  associates.
Sherman: "Finally! We now have Bryan Lombardi and the other shooters! After we question him about who he and his goons are working with, we'll then go home."
Aubrey: "Remember, no physical forms of torture this time, Shermie."
Sherman: "I didn't torture that pangolin when I used my power, Aubs."
Aubrey: "You snapped two of his fingers."
Sherman: "And... I healed him back up again after he told us what we needed to know about the secret safe houses. Besides, now we know where to hit the Crimson Raiders and the Feral -60 Threshers."
Aubrey: "Mmm..."
......Flashback to two days ago......
The dust settles after the entire brood rounds up the unconscious criminals from both gangs for as the Task Force starts showing up.
Rebus: "Geez. What dang mess this is. Did you and your team do this?"
Sherman: "No, Commissioner. At least not all of it."
Rebus: "The mayor is already putting heat on me for this and I can't come back without any explanation."
Sherman: "We just took care of a crime filled neighborhood much faster than of your operatives ever could within weeks. Tell him that the Crisis Brood took care it in your reports."
Rebus: "Sherman, I know you want to protect the world just like your father, but there are legal procedures and strategies that my forces use before striking."
Sherman: "We plan and we strike. What's the big deal?"
Rebus: "Ugh... listen we... hey!"
Crimson Raider Scout: "Ha! Let me go or blow the brains out these two!"
Female Mule Deer Furry: "No please!"
Male Moose Furry: "Yeah! I'm still in my prime!"
Crimson Raider Scout: "I'm not dying today!"
He fires three shots off, but Sherman blocks off the bullets with his spirit energy shield. Rebus and takes a precision shot at the dealer's shoulder.
Rebus: "Don't even think about it! Toss it away now!"
Crimson Raider Scout: "Ugh..."
The crook collapses and Sherman walks over the pangolin crook.
Sherman: "Where does your boss and his new friends keep the goods?"
Crimson Raider Scout: "Nah, no way dude, the boss will kill me. And I know you're not going too."
Sherman: "True. I won't kill you. But..."
Then he takes the dealer's first claw digit and snaps it backwards to make a point.
Crimson Raider Scout: "Ahhh! Doggone it!"
Sherman: "That does not mean I can't hurt you."
The others watched as Sherman holds out the wounded crook's second paw digit.
Sherman: "So, either you start talk or I snap this digit too!"
Crimson Raider Scout: "And once again, not tell you a thing, wolf! Ahhh!"
Sherman: "Okay then. You asked for it!"
Sherman snaps the crook's second paw digit backwards and uses his power to paralyze Crimson Raider's other paw.
Crimson Raider Scout: "What the... I can't move! What are you-no! No wait!"
Sherman threateningly levitates a loose brick over the interrogated raider.
Crimson Raider Scout: "Okay! Okay! Wait! The Crimson Raiders and the Threshers are have safe houses all over Glassbec, Coastal City, Arkson City, Ingmont City, Trutoel, Pulphia, and Vlikvale!"
Sherman: "They've spread into other towns?"
Crimson Raider Scout: "Yeah, and we're gonna make a fortune with our partners overseas too! Hahaha! Ain't nothing that you and your team can do to stop us now. The Task Force couldn't even stop us then. Hahaha!"
Sherman: "You're wrong. We will stop you them all."
He drops the brick on the criminal scout's left paw.
Crimson Raider Scout: "Ahhh! Darn you! Dang it! You broke my paw!"
He cringes in pain.
Sherman: "Puh, be glad I didn't break both of them. Besides I got the truth out of you! So haha!"
Aubrey: "Sherman! Stop! He's had enough! We are supposed to show mercy to a defeated enemy."
Sherman: "Aubs, he's a crook! Why would I show him mercy of any kind? Especially since he's one of the few who deliberately tried to shoot me, you, and our entire team? Why?"
Aubrey: "Because we shouldn't be taking joy in hurting defenseless life forms. We have the information we need so let's heal him."
Sherman: "Yeah, fine."
Sherman places his paws on the injured Crimson Raider and the spiritual energy heals him up.
Sherman: "There. I healed his paws and showed him mercy."
Aubrey: "Mercy does not make us weak, Shermie. It makes us much stronger than the true enemy ever will be."
Sherman: "Commissioner, take this scumbag and his friends away. We're finished here."
......Flashback ends......
Sherman: "Come on! It good news."
Neal: "Okay, can we just question these guys now?"
Sherman: "Right, my bad. Now... who do you common poachers work for?"
Bryan: "Me and my boys won't tell you anything. There is nothing that..."
NAA Poacher 4: "The Ripshaw Slashers! We're working for the Ripshaw Slashers! They didn't give us a choice!"
Bryan: "Remind me to kill you once we're in prison."
Sherman: "See, I questioned him with no issues or torture. Happy?"
Aubrey: "You did it the right way. That's why I'm proud of you of not resorting to violent tactics."
Then the rest of Crisis Brood compromised Neal, Radinavia, Zelene, Zaino, Elsie, Yuki, Mitchell, Mei, Jackson Junior, Ruth, Zelene, Alicia, Victoria, Bavos, Wallace, Triskah, Cherie Mae, Stella, Mallory, Aziza, Angel, Zakari, Joseph, Jaronte, Cecelia, Eliza, and Desmond hold all of the other NAA poachers outside of the concert building.
Desmond: "Let me write something on this sign here. Haha!"
Angel: "Really?"
Zaino: "Delivery for task force. Courtesy of the Crisis Brood."
Desmond: "Yeah, I mean we are trashing bad guys all the time and leaving them for the law to pick up. So we win! Haha!"
Sherman and Aubrey walk out with other furries cheering for them as they push Bryan Lombardi and his associate out of the building."
Sherman: "Get moving Lombardi. Today is the day that you've been caught."
Bryan Lombardi: "True, you can bind my paws, but you'll never bind the whole NAA cause. Hiyah! Ahh! Ugh.."
He attempts to run away but, Desmond trips him and the fall knocks Bryan unconscious.
Sherman: "Great job little bro."
Sherman then calls Commissioner Rebus Talvenger about who they've just caught.
......Phone call begins......
Rebus: "Sherman what is it?"
Sherman: "We caught the international poacher, Bryan Lombardi and his NAA conspirators."
Rebus: "That's great, but I can't come to you now to pick them for lockup. Another incident has happened. Me and my operatives are at a research lab on the other side of the city."
Sherman: "What happened?"
Rebus: "It was destroyed. Looks like it's been here for days and every furry in the building is gone. Or should I say... melted in molten rock."
Sherman: "Should me and my team come over?"
Rebus: "No, that's okay. We're okay now. Your dad is already here scouring the scene with my operatives. However, I will send a small unit to your location. Where are you at?"
Sherman: "The Burning Bush Auditorium near forty-ninth street. That's where you'll find us and our prisoners, Commish."
Rebus: "That's Commissioner Talavenger to you and it better not be a disaster zone over there."
Sherman: "Relax, you forget that me and my team now have spiritual powers so believe me. We'll restore everything within a few shapes of a mongoose's tail.
Rebus: "Great. I'm sending that unit now."
Sherman: "Alright, bye."
......Phone call ends......
Sherman: "Alright, team! Tie up Bryan's unconscious goons against the sign posts!"
Bavos: "Can't wait to the the new crime bosses. We might end all end as better heroes than your dad, bro. Haha."
Sherman: "I don't know about that. My dad's fame is very well known. And by well known. I mean worldwide."
Wallace: "True, but it wouldn't hurt to get some praise from all the people of this city."
Jackson Junior: "They're right bro. That would be awesome."
Sherman: "That's not the point of why we're doing this. We are not doing for praise or free stuff. We're doing this because it's the right thing and it must be done."
Jaronte: "That sounds so boring when you say it."
Sherman: "Quiet, Jaronte. Now let's go inside and make sure no else was hurt."
Jaronte: "Fine."
Sherman: "And I do mean everyone!"
Triskah: "There's no need to yell. We understand."
Sherman: "Then just go already. The night isn't over yet."
As the others go back into the building, Aubrey stops him in his tracks.
Aubrey: "Sherman, can we talk for a minute?"
Sherman: "No, we need to check on the other innocents."
Aubrey: "Can you please just get out of hero mode for a minute and talk to me, please?"
In Sherman's Mind: "Oh boy, here comes a new team building lesson."

Author's Note: "Such a wild night and it's been a while, but now I'm back y'all! What dangers may come next?"
