Snowdawn's Last Stand

"Is this the place?" Snowdawn asked, peeking out of the window of Whisper's van.

"Yep!" The invisible girl announced. "The Sub Enforcer member Wasp Nest mentioned that he spotted a few shady stuff going on at this base. It used to be a Wandering Coin base, but has since been taken over by some members of Zoo."

"Not Red Raptor again, right?" Cinder snorted. She rested next to Snowdawn and looked out the building in front of them. They had beaten the Wet Bandit gang just a few days ago, but things really hadn't been going their way. Team Pantheon only had a couple of days left until the deal they made with Boy Genius would come to an end. That was why they found themselves in front of a large, shady-looking warehouse. "When do we go in?" She asked.

"When Myth or Battery give the signal." Whisper explained. It was just the three of them in the van. Myth and Battery were both scouting the building itself out.

"What's the signal-" Snowdawn never got to finish his sentence, as seconds later the wall to the warehouse exploded with a bright golden blast, and the roar of a lion shook the building.

"It's go time!" Whisper announced.

They jumped out of the van and ran to the warehouse. Instantly, the three of them stopped once they were in and stared ahead with blank faces.

Myth was on his back, getting dog piled on all sides by various animals. They were all far larger than normal beasts and different shades. Likely some of Red Ape's creations, though the hands weren't present on the faces of the mutant pets, so the mad scientist wasn't the one controlling them.

"A little help!" Myth called out with wide eyes.

The warehouse was filled with rows of tables that all had the various drugs the Wandering Coin would sell on them. Instead of the random Wandering Coin grunts, though, it was any animal that had paws able to lift glasses that were boxing them. Dozens of bears or monkeys were taking the jars of drugs and sealing them away in crates to sell on the streets later.

"Zoo doesn't sell drugs? Did Red Ape start his own operation?" Cinder questioned.

"Nope!" The voice of Battery came from the back, and they all saw who was really in charge of this base. "These animals have found a new leader."

It was a large kangaroo. One dressed in a business suit wearing boxing gloves and sunglasses. It also had a boxing glove on its tail. It was another mutated animal, one Cinder had seen before. The very first time she went to blows with Red Ape, that man had this creature with him. This was none other than Toni the Boxing Kangaroo.

The animal spun around, moving way faster than it ever had, likely being on the Wandering Coin drugs, and it smashed its tail into Battery's gut, blasting the man back. Battery rammed through several pillars and slumped down.

"Please take Toni out..." He grunted.

Snowdawn chuckled, and just like that, Team Pantheon fought back against the mutated animals. It took them less than a minute to beat them all. Whisper tased dozens of them, Cinder showed off some of her strength to make them flee, Myth yelled loud enough to scare dozens, and Battery zipped around the battlefield, firing taser lasers that stunned most.

Snowdawn skated forward on his ice alongside his best friend. Him and Cinder both pulled their fists back, combining a wave of fire and ice as they launched a powerful punch into Toni's stomach, knocking the drugged-up mutated mafia leader out in one strike.

"We make a pretty good team, don't we?" Cinder smiled.

"Of course we do." Snowdawn smirked and hit his friend lightly on her shoulder. "We've been friends since we were kids, after all. I always know what stupid idea you're thinking of."
