Vakatarus: "Today all will be ours! Everything! And as your lord and master... take it all! Mmmuuuaaahahahahahaha!"
Followers: "Yeah! Yes! Hahahaha! Yeah! Yeah! Yes!"
Vakatarus' massive army cheers as they march through Accreton Forest and straight towards the border roads that lead to Glassbec, Coastal City, and Arkson City.
Solomon: "What's next my liege?"
Vakatarus: "Easy. You will lead the Akosi into Arkson City. While Santo and Demetrio's crews will take Coastal City."
Salvador: "Where do I fit into this plan?"
Vakatarus: "Salvador, you and your clan shall go cut the power to Glsssbec. Thus bringing the populace to its knees."
Salvador: "Heheh, I do enjoy breaking power sources. Especially those Tontione branded solar powered reactors."
Salvador loads his plasma pistol and his eyes turn are almost completely reddened. His malicious ambitions slowly filling his mind.
Salvador: "It's time to fight and claim this town as our own!"
He leads the Clawtooth Clan to edge of Glassbec, and are met with fierce opposition from the UAA and the Glassbec authorities.
Quentin: "There they are! Open fire!"
Both sides shoot and battle each other in paw to paw combat. The battle kept raging on as furries from both sides fell.
Quentin: "Ramirez! On the right!"
Ramirez: "Hiyah! Got him, sir!"
They reload their phase pistols swiftly and keep firing with their fellow operatives.
UUA Grunt: "Ahh! Dang it! I'm hit!"
UUA Grunt 2: "I need a medic over here, now!"
Viscalli: "Commisssioner! They just keep coming! We need to fall back!"
Quentin: "No! We can take them! Come on Operative Ramirez! We need to show these criminals that we're not backing down! Are with me, Captain?"
Ramirez nods and returns fore at the enemy side, taking down two more Clawtooth Clan members.
Salvador: "Raah! Clawtooth Clan! Use your power and wipe them out!"
Several Clawtooth furries stop firing and throw a barrage of dark energy upon the United Animal Forces and Quentin's Task Force.
Quentin: "Vakatarus corrupted them with his dark spirit energy. It's killing too many."
Ramirez: "What do we do now, sir?"
Quentin: "Time to recall all of our operatives and the UAA forces back to blockade!"
Ramirez: "Alright, you heard him, furries! Fall back! Back to the blockade! Move! Move! Move!"
Quentin: "I'll cover your escape! Just go! That's an order!"
They retreat as Commissioner Riles keeps them busy.
Salvador: "Hahaha! Look at them flee! Haha!That's right ya donut-jockeys, run! Whoo!
This is what true glory feels like!"
The Clawtooth Clan cheers for their victory in battle.
Damon: "Salvador? Should we cut the chase and kill the main power line?"
Salvador: "No. Take a small contingent and bring me Jimmy Findello."
Damon: "You mean that annoying reporter from the news?"
Salvador: "Yeah, heheh, no worries. Jackson will be too busy fighting our 'friends' in Coastal City."
Damon: "Oh yeah... haha! This is going to be fun! You ten! Come with me! Onward to the tv station!"
Several furries of Clawtooth Clan follow him after breaking into abandoned white van.
A short time after, they reach the Northern Glassbec and stop in front of the Worldwide Furry News Station.
Damon: "Alright, you know the goal. Kill the security guards and anyone else you find, but bring Jimmy Findello and his associates to me. I wanna make a live statement."
Clawtooth Buffalo: "With pleasure. Hahaha! Been waiting a long time to shoot someone."
Clawtooth Tasmanian Devil: "Hehehe, haven't we all, brother? Being locked up all that time sucked."
Damon: "Enough talk you fools! Go find him!"
The crooks do as he says and start shooting at the station's two security guards.
Deer Security Guard: "Boys, we have eleven hostiles approaching! They are heavily armed and...Ahhh! Gaaah!"
Aardvark Security Guard: "Jerry! Doggone it! You sick son's of guns!"
The guard fires back; missing the assailants by an inch and is shot in the stomach by Damon.
Damon: "You only have seconds to tell me... where is Jimmy Findello?"
Aardvark Security Guard: "You think I know?"
Damon: "Yeah, we do. Now talk, aardvark."
Aardvark Security Guard: "Go suck a beehive!"
Damon: "Wrong answer."
Damon cocks his plasma pistol and shoots him in the cranium.
Damon: "Move up! We a building to secure!"
Minutes later, they went through the building and shot up several employees. They reach the top floor where the newscasting room was located.
Jimmy: "Glassbec, I know times seam hard. But I know we can make through this incursion like before. Just like the... Oh no...."
Damon: "Findello is it? Keep him restrained and make that camera is still rolling."
Clawtooth Camel: "I got him. Keep that camera live or you're gonna be full of lead."
Tortoise Cameraman: "Okay, okay. Don't shoot! I'll do what you want."
Clawtooth Gorilla: "You're on Damon, sir."
Damon: "Hello Glassbec. I know you all want answers as to why we are doing this. Well, to make this easy to understand. We want what you have and to run this town as our place. A standard free for all! One where we... the newly powerful shall own all. Oh and I wouldn't rely on Jackson Tontione or should I say, the Shadow Dhole, to save you. He's already being torn apart by more good friends of ours. Vakatarus doesn't want to kill all of you, we maybe a few. Hehehe, either way everything belongs to us and under his benevolent rule, may survive. If you are willing to join us and serve our lord and master. That is all. All hail the Vakan Syndicate."
He drops the mic and chuckles manically.
Damon: "Hehehe, now the world knows who Jackson Tontione really is."
Clawtooth Capybara: "Hahaha! You're a genius, Damon."
Meanwhile, at the Rabeau's main household, Taciana worries with fear after watching Damon's awful speech.
Taciana: "That horrible bear!"
This causes her six babies Zakari, Angel, Cecelia, Eliza, Jaronte, and Joseph cry.
Taciana: "Aww, my sweet babies. I'm so sorry. Shh, shh, shh, shhh. That's it. Everything will be okay."
Zaino: "Mommy?"
Taciana: "Yes, sweetie?"
Zaino: "That mean man exposed Daddy's secret identity. Will other furries hate us for keeping it a secret?"
Taciana: "No, honey. No. Everyone won't hate us, but they will want to understand why and hear the truth from your father."
Zaino: "Okay. But why couldn't I go with him?"
Taciana: "You're too young to go out there, Zaino. Besides your father will be okay. We prayed that he and Sherman would return to us. Right...?"
Zaino: "Right. I wish I could do something against those Clawtooth jerks."
Taciana: "I know. But you're one of my brave little boys. Mmmwwah. Don't ever let your fear take over."
Saba: "Heheh, I taught you that, Tacci."
Mallory: "Grandpa? Why are they killing other innocent furries? It's awful."
Grandpa: "Child, they have been trying to do this for many years. And it's always for five reasons; anger, money, power, jealousy, and greed. It was way worse during the age of humans because they were always more concerned about themselves and their distinct societies than the on the needs of the world."
Mallory: "I pray many furries don't become like them."
Saba: "Things are going to be alright. Your dad's a tough guy and he helped raise all of you. Didn't he?"
Jackson Junior: "Heheh, yeah. True."
Aziza: "Why do Zakari and Angel look so sad?"
Taciana: "They miss their Daddy and their older brother."
Angel: "Momma? Dada... coming?"
Taciana: "No baby, Daddy isn't here now. But he will be. I promise."
She rocks Angel and Zakari, while her parents watch and pray over the rest of her children.
Then they hear UAA convoys and Task Force patrol cars going down the streets, still in battle against members of the Clawttoth Clan.
Taciana: "A battle happening everywhere on Glassbec's streets. I hope Coastal City and Arkson City are fairing batter."
Suddenly, Vakatarus appears over the Rabeau Estate cackling with malicious intent.
Vakatarus: "Mmmuuhahaha. Time to create an ultimatum. One that annoying dhole won't be able to resist."Author's Note: "What will happen next as the battle rages on? Find out in the next chapter!"
