The life I thought I left | BxB Furry

Chapter 19

The highway was in shambles, cars were swerving into the guard walls to stay away from the continue balls of energy that were being thrust at me, as I started speeding back towards Baskin,  my body covered in bruises and mild lacerations, I keep going, speeding forward on my somehow still running motorcycle, my body hollering in protest, my arms and legs burning.

He grinned sadistically and threw a red ball at the ground, I hop up onto the seat and jump backward, the motorcycle exploding, I tumble on the ground and start sprinting towards him,  looking at the ground in front of me, my suit disc only a few feet away. I look up at Baskin again, who was at least a dozen or so feet away, he growls and fires a full beam of energy at the ground in front of me, stopping me in my tracks, I panted, and I could see he was starting to lag in his movements a bit.

"Baskin just...come in, please. We already have a way to bring you in safely, but I can't help you if you don't let us dammit!" I yell out, I hear a truck behind me and turn around to see a large black truck squeal to a stop, Baskin looks up and roars before firing more energy at the car.

"NO!" I yell, running forward, I jump up and feel the energy hit me hard in the side, I go flying back onto the truck, the front window crushing under my weight. I cough and look up, hazily at first, I feel a crawl at the back of my neck and reach back to feel small blits of blood, I look at it hungrily before licking it and the voice in the back of my head booms loudly.

"YES! That's it! Taste blood again! Let it pull you into your inner beast! LET ME TAKE CONTROL!"

I growl and jump down from the truck, wiping glass off my shoulder, I look at Baskin and he grimaces slightly before charging his arms, I grin and kneel down to the ground, closing my eyes, I hear him yell out and drops down behind the large car he stood on, then the car comes flying towards me, I hold out an armored hand and soon my body is covered in the familiar metal suit, Vex speaking urgently.

"Sir, your heart-rate has reached maximum levels for practices like these, you could die! Sir, please disengage now before I must shut down. Sir!" The robot yells, but I just wait and then the car land into my hands, sliding me back, I lift it with the additional lift of the suit and drop it to the side, smoke billowing from fires started along the highway, and I step out of it into the open air, Baskin looks at me surprised before yelling out, he charges me and I hold out a hand.

He keeps charging and I sigh, closing my eyes.

"Well, I think your amazing, Dad!"

I feel the energy of the child I once saved so long ago, the child that sat at the bottom of every one. I couldn't end someone's life because of the actions of that person, because the child deep down is terrified, just like how Jackson was, all that time back. I'll help him like I helped Jackson.

Baskin is close to my face, I close my hand and grab Baskin's arm, swinging him over, I slam him onto the ground and then pin him, keeping him down slowly, I look at him with wonder. Not everyone could be saved with the passiveness of a single soul. It took force, whether people liked it or not, it was a simple way to bring justice, and maybe even peace. No one can escape conflict, it doesn't matter who or what. Death purges all.

I knew that people would get over it eventually. We all do. 

I tap the side of my arm and a set of orange, carbon fiber cuffs drop into my hands, which I slide onto Baskins's wrists, and it secures onto his arms, his swirls dampening till the only color was his fur, the ancient symbols disappearing. Baskin growls and snap before I look over to Channing, he nods and I stand Baskin up, but I look around before I look down at the cuffs, something passes my mind and I undo the cuffs, letting them drop, Baskin turns around quickly and angrily, but I undo my mask, which causes him to stop.

I walk forward and pull him into a tight hug, he struggles against me and claws at my head, I growl and eventually he slows down, then I feel tears drop against me, my armor unfolds and the disc falls to the ground, and I pull Baskin closer. 

"I know the pain you go through. I killed my own brother. I killed a lot of innocent people to get to this position, and I'll be honest, it sucks ass. You have a voice...in the back of your head, telling you what to do, telling you to gain the vengeance you 'so righteously deserve' for the pain you've been caused, for the friends of yours that died months ago. I can't help you now, but what I can do is ensure your safety, and also your chance at redemption, but it's a long shot and a lot of strings to pull. I hope you find your way back Baskin." 

Baskin looks up with tears in his eyes and he nods, gripping my coat, he pulls me back and forth weakly, slapping his hands against me in protest, I walk him over to Channing and Channing holds him close, and Baskin only loses it, crying harder than he had, he drops down to the ground, but Channing follows, Alex walks up to me and smiles.

"So what now hotshot?" He asks and I smile.

"I need to make a call."

"You need me to make someone lose her job eh?" A familiar voice speaks, a black bat sits on the roof of a large bank, with a one-strap backpack, fitted with his laptop and phone, he wore a vest, and a hoodie over that, with long black hair that reached past his neck, it was in a bun, and he wore a metal mask that covered his nose and below and it wrapped all the way around his head, he also wore military pants and combat boots, and at his hip was a holster, with a Makarov on it, highly modified at that.

"Yea I can do that...but it'll come at a price. A favor. I'll ask for it in the future." He says, hanging up the call from tapping his mask, he grins and turns to face a large area of a skyscraper that was lit in red spraypaint, he drops back off the building edge, and the spray paint read:

AX3L IS BACK FOR GOOD.
