World of Paws: Balance of Heroes

Evacuation!

Jackson awakens and phones his secretary, Valera.
Jackson: "Remind everyone that today is half day due to a possible citywide emergency. Understood? Be ready to run if anything like that occurs "
Valera: "Yes, of course Mr. Tontione. Consider it done."
Jackson: "Thank you Valera, I knew I made the right choice hiring you."
Valera: "It's no trouble sir."
......Phone Call Ends......
Jackson: "Alright, what time is it? 6:35am? Might as well get a move on."
He pecks Taciana's cheek while she's sleeping in and grabs his watch, wallet, and two briefcases' downstairs. Jackson then has a quick batch of Ultra Fiber cereal and drives to work on his motorcycle. Then Jackson arrives at the office with both of his suitcases and completes the annual reviews of every Tontione Enterprise's employee.
A while later, the sounds of gunfire outside and screaming from innocent furries shatter the silence.
Jackson: "Dang it. I gotta get out there. Nappine! Sound the alarm and tell everyone to evacuate through the rear exit."
Nappine: "Yes, sir! Attention everyone, run for your lives the city is under attack! If you can hear this, get out and run to the task force headquarters or the transports outside!"
Every employee runs to the outside of Tontione Enterprise's main building, all his employees line up outside and follow the instructions of the Task Force officials.
Rebus: "Come on folks! Let's go! We'll get you to a safe location outside of the city."
Urvasi: "Commissioner Takvenger, I just made a call to the United Animal Army for help regarding the city-wide evacuation."
Rebus: "Good, because if Vakatarus' army is coming, then we need to get everyone out here tout suite. Can't risk any more lives."
Urvasi: "We are really relying on Jackson... err I mean the Shadow Dhole to handle this?"
Rebus: "At this point, he's our only chance at putting a stop to that snake spirit. Is he still in the building?"
Urvasi: "I'll go check, sir."
Rebus: "Great spirit help us all."
His smartphone goes off and caller ID shows General Bayo Hemp.
General Bayo Hemp: "Commissioner? Are you there?"
Rebus: "General Hemp? What can I do you for?"
Bayo: "It's come to my attention that we need to prepare for a possible incursion later today?"
Rebus: "Yes. How did you know that?"
Bayo: "Your folk-town hero, the Shadow Dhole paid my main base a visit last night. He said we should mobilize our forces as quickly as possible would allow us to stand a chance against an entire army. Can we even trust this guy?"
Rebus: "He has saved many furries so far. So yeah, Ja... uhm... the Shadow Dhole is a trustworthy ally."
Bayo: "Very well, you have my support. We'll help with the evacuation of Coastal City and the surrounding communities."
Rebus: "Thank you, General. Commissioner out."
Sometime later, regiments of the United Animal Army arrive and set up blockades around Coastal City, Arkson City, and Glassbec for extra measures. Most of the residents are then evacuated by the Task Force and the UAA forces. As the city is being evacuated, Jackson activates his electric car's alternate vehicle mode.
Jackson: "Diravo, activate all-terrain mode."
Diravo AI Voice: "All terrain mode online. Welcome back Jackson Tontione."
Jackson swiftly puts on his Shadow Dhole suit and starts driving towards home. He makes a quick phone call to his wife.
Taciana: "Hey babe, are you okay?"
Jackson: "Yeah. Are you heading home? We need to get our kids out here."
Taciana: "No, my workplace is still open. Why? What's going on?"
Jackson: "It's Vakatarus. The Vitaea sent me another vision that he's coming to lay siege on this city and everywhere else within few hundred miles. Him and his army. You need to go home and get our children out of this city. At least for a little while until I can stop them."
Taciana: "Wait, aren't you coming with us?"
Jackson: "I am en route to the house. I'll meet you there. Okay."
Taciana picks up the children and reaches their household. Jackson then arrives minutes later to ensure their safety.
Jackson: "Is everyone here?"
Taciana: "Yes honey. Everyone is here."
Sherman: "Dad, there were guys in suits driving near the school. Is there danger coming?"
Jackson: "I'm not gonna lie to you son. Something big and dangerous is coming and
the Task Force needs my help on all fronts."
Sherman: "Can I come with you? And can
Aubrey come too? I can help protect everyone. Then we can beat Vakatarus once again just like during the training retreat."
Sherman's paws begin to glow with searing anticipation.
Jackson: "My son... I know you want to help defend innocents. But right now, that means staying where you're needed most. That means looking after your mother, your brothers, and your sisters."
Sherman: "But I don't understand. You said we're a great team."
Jackson: "We are buddy. We are. But I can't watch you be taken away. If that monster got a hold of you..."
Sherman: "Dad, please... I can do this."
Jackson: (sighs) "What do you think, hon?"
Taciana: "Baby, I'm not a fan of you going out there on your own, but you do need someone watching your back. You can go baby."
Sherman: "Yes! Mission on!"
Jackson: (sighs) "Sherman, hop in the passenger side. Everyone else, into the family van."
Sherman runs inside Jackson's electric car and fastens his seatbelt.
Taciana: "Is the van charged up sweetheart?"
Jackson: "It's set and ready roll babe. I made sure it was charged overnight."
Taciana: "Okay, I'll take them to my parents' house. We will be safe there."
Taciana: "Oh, and Jackson? You and Shermie better come back."
Jackson: "I will always come back to you. I'll let you know when it's over."
They share a quick, passionate kiss. Taciana drives the away from their house and follows the other evacuees and United Animal Army transports outside over the border toward Glassbec.
Jackson: "Alright kiddo, seatbelt on?"
Sherman: "Yes, seatbelt on and ready, Dad!"
Sherman exclaims with enthusiasm as Jackson starts up his vehicle and goes to the outskirts of Downtown to confront Vakatarus and his empowered army.
Taciana: "Great spirits we pray... please watch over my husband and oldest son as they go off into battle."
Mallory: "And for Sherman and Daddy's safe return."
Taciana: "Yes... yes... and for their safe return. Amen."
Taciana takes looks at her wedding ring as she safely drives past the city's border.
