Chapter 5: Prisoner Principles

The scene showed the heroes as they were inside the Starr Force spaceship.

They were minding their own business.

Kaori was busy pummeling a punching bag, while Mani and Brock were playing Go Fish.

Mani: Hey Kaori, why not take a break and join us in a game.
Kaori: Would love to but I'm way too focused on training so I could kick Wangzhou so hard that he'll be begging to go back to stasis.
Brock: Let's hope that moment comes.

Then suddenly an alarm ranged and it came from Colette's control room.

Colette: Guys we got signals from Wangzhou and the pack.

Everyone arrived to see what was happening.

Bo: Where are they?
Colette: They're near a nuclear power plant.
Bull: Heh, it's not surprising since we caught him and the pack trying to steal nuclear waste.
Col. Ruffs: At this rate when we combine Wangzhou with nuclear plant it spells out trouble.
Max: Right, anyways me and some of us will go and stop them. Not all of us can go at once.

Kaori stepped up.

Kaori: I'm coming since Wangzhou is mine.
Mani: Same here.

Crow stepped up.

Crow: Whenever there's action I'm here.
Bull: I'm coming too liuetenant Max.
Dark-Er: Now that you mentioned it, me and Gartox still have some unfinished business to attend.
Col. Ruffs: Alright, you 6 go and capture them.

Max turned to Bo.

Max: You wanna come Bo?
Bo: No but thanks, I'll sit this one out. If you need back up we're here.
Brock: Good luck dad!
Dark-Er: Thanks son!

Max nodded at Bo as she and her squad left the ship and began searching throughout the forest.

"5 minutes later"

They still haven't found nothing.

Crow: Hey Colette you sure is that this is the place that they have been here?
Colette: Of course, you should be above any Corrupted monster in no time!

Max sighed.

Max: I guess we're playing hide and seek.
Dark-Er: Ooh, I love that game. Me and Brock used to play it a lot since he was a kid, I'm the master of hiding!

He then ran and hide behind some trees but his tentacles could be shown and he was giggling.

The other watched there with confused looks.

As Dark-Er was walking he accidentally tripped onto a camoflauged hole and he fell down.

The others ran to see their ally.

Max: You ok Dark-Er?
Dark-Er: Yeah, but hey we found a tunnel.
Mani: Then let's check it.

They went down and began exploring the tunnel that was digged up.

Then they familiar heard voices.

???: Of course Wangzhou would send the jaw with the biggest arms to dig him up a tunnel.

Then they saw Rudechaw and Kurai Kage as they were holding rocks in their hands.

Rudechaw: I outta tell Wangzhou to go and dig himself a-

The 2 Corrupted monsters stopped and saw the heroes.

Max: Well I guess today's a great day for you to dig a tunnela and it's a great day to arrest 2 convicts.
Kurai: You'll never take us alive!

The 2 threw the rocks at them and heroes dodged them.

Kurai then ran in front of them.

Kurai: You'll soon go south!

He then jumped above them and tried to hit them with his sickles but they avoided him and landed on the ground before running to find the exit.

Rudechaw: And I'm going left!

He then turned left and began running for his life.

Max: You 3 go after Rudechaw, we'll try and catch Kurai!

Bull, Kaori and Dark-Er went after Rudechaw who was running for his life.

Rudechaw stopped as he saw a deadend.

Rudechaw: Ah!

He then turned around and tried to punch a tunnel for himself in order to escape but Kaori punched him.

Rudechaw turned around and saw Bull motioning for Rudechaw to turn around and the beaver did just that.

Bull then pulled out blue energy handcuffs and cuffed one of them on his right hand while he cuffed the other one on Rudechaw's left hand.

Max, Mani and Crow tried to catch Kurai Kage but he then created a huge rubble of rocks that blocked the exit for the heroes.

Mani: Crap we're stuck!
Max: There's no doubt that Kurai Kage is going to tell Wangzhou about this.
Bull: But hey we have a prisoner.

They appeared as they pulled the cuffef Rudechaw.

Bull: Spill it!
Rudechaw: Hey hey, chill! Look let's make a deal, I'll tell you the dirt and you let me go afterwards.
Max: But we-

Rudechaw cut her off.

Rudechaw: So basically Wangzhou told me and Kage to go and dig him a tunnel so he could go underground to the nuclear power plant so he can steal them power rods. Now if you could handcuff me.
Max: We never even agreed to your deal, but hey thanks for your help.

Rudechaw then came to realization.

Rudechaw: I should've kept my mouth shut...
Kaori: Yeah you should've.

Crow and Mani were trying to get rid of the rocks.

Crow: So what do we do with furball over here, it's not like we have a stasis cell for him.
Dark-Er: I could punch him into stasis if you guys want to.

He cracked hid knuckles.

Rudechaw: Anything but that.
Bull: That's against the rules of the Starr Force convention, the rules say that we must treat our prisoners with care and protect them from danger.
Crow: Seriously, do I have to listen to some rules made by anthropomorphic dogs.
Kaori: We have to, I guess...
Max: I may not know these rules but I say we respect the spirit of the convention.

Mani turned to Dark-Er.

Mani: Hey Dark-Er mind punching out way out of here?
Dark-Er: Sure do.

He then punched the rocks away with 1 blow and the gang got out of the hole.

Bull: Alright now let's go and stop the others.
Max: We'll go Bull, you go and retrieve Rudechaw to the spaceship and place him in a cell.
Bull: But liuetenant Max-
Max: I know we must work as a team but you must keep the prisoner safe, after all you wouldn't wanna break the rules don't you?
Bull: Of course, I'll escort this rat to the ship.

Rudechaw gulped.

Rudechaw: Gartox is gonna turn me into a beaver fur hat once he finds out about this.
Kaori: Alright let's get the others, we know Kurai is heading to the power plant.
Mani: We have to stop them from who knows what.

Then everyone besides Bull and Rudechaw left.

They began walking.

Rudechaw: So now since we're alone, wanna have a chat while walking to the ship.
Bull: Ugh...
Rudechaw: A few months ago I accidentally got myself stuck on a pool of mud and it took like half of the Cardinal Forest to get me out and-

Bull couldn't help but face palm as they walked.

The scene changed to Kurai who was running in the middle of the road until he stopped and saw the rest of the pack.

Kurai: Those lame ass bitches caught us on the spot as we were tunneling and they jammed Rudechaw!

Gartox smirked.

Gartox: Bet you the first thing that rat will do is spill his slimey guts.
Wangzhou: Most likely, but without the tunnel we need a quick plan B.

Then they heard some sounds from the other side of the road.

They went there and saw 2 power plant trucks driving all the way to the power plant, this gave Wangzhou an idea.

Wangzhou: Follow my lead.

He then began running through the forest as he was keeping an eye on the trucks.

It took a few seconds for the others to follow Wangzhou.

What they didn't knew was that Max and the others were right behind their tail.

Crow: Over there, is that the pack?
Max: Yeah, let's speed it up.

She then chugged and energy drink and began moving faster.

Dark-Er suddenly took a turn right to cut them off if they would turn something.

Gartox noticed rustling behind him.

He turned around and saw the gang chasing him and he grit his teeth.

Gartox: I knew he'd squirm!

He then took a sharp turn into another direction so that they couldn't see him.

Meanwhile, Bull and Rudechaw kept walking.

Rudechaw: And you know what's worse than dirt? Actual mud!
Bull: Please... Stop fucking talking...

Then his communicator beeped.

Max: Dark-Er, hope you turned right to cut them off. We need all the help we can get.

Then Bull stopped and then he turned around and began running back to find the gang while dragging Rudechaw.

Rudechaw: Hey! Slow down a bit!

Max, Crow, Mani and Kaori kept running to where the pack was, but behind them Gartox jumped from out of nowhere and he pummeled the ground and sent them flying into the air and they landed on a road.

Gartox then approached the heroes who were moaning.

Gartox: Where's Rudechaw, I'll hit him so hard that he'll be walking straight!

He was about to stomp on Max's head but Dark-Er tackled him away and the 2 began brawling.

Then Bull and Rudechaw came out of the woods.

Bull: Liuetenant Max, I'm reporting for duty!

Gartox saw them.

Gartox: Look who the officer dragged along!

Rudechaw freaked out and he began running away while pulling Bull.

Gartox grit his teeth.

Gartox: You ain't keeping me from getting to that naked molerat!

He then grabbed Dark-Er and slammed him on the ground and then saw the others getting up.

Gartox shrugged them off and ran at the direction where Rudechaw and Bull went.

Max: I can't believe this is happening! We almost had them if it weren't for Gartox who cut us off!

Then they heard shoutting.

Gartox: Get out of my way, I have a molerat to pummel!
Bull: This molerat is my prisoner and it's my job to keep him safe.

Max: Bull?

She sighed as Dark-Er got up.

Max: Kaori, you Mani and Crow go to the power plant and secure the people.

They nodded and went to the power plant while Max and Dark-Er went into the forest.

Rudechaw kept running while pulling Bull.

Bull: Stop running!

They both stopped and Rudechaw fell on his knees.

Rudechaw: You gotta hide me somewhere before he gets his hands on me!
Bull: I can't while you're pulling me!

Then Gartox appeared as he charged at the 2 like a raging bull.

He was about to punch Bull but he tripped because of the handcuffs that tangled on his feet.

Bull/Rudechaw: Nice teamwork!

They got up.

Bull: Stand there nice and easy Gartox, you're taking my place handcuffed to Rudechaw.

Gartox looked at them and then kicked the 2 with his feet before getting up and approaching them. Gartox grabbed Rudechaw's right arm.

Gartox: I always said I wouldn't trust ya as far as I could throw ya! Let's see how long that is!

He then spinned Rudechaw and Bull around before throwing them to the other side of the forest where they hit a tree as the 2 moaned in pain.

Gartox appeared, charging at them with anger in his eyes.

Gartox: Time to get what's coming to you! Both of you!

He growled as Bull got up.

Bull: Get up! GET UP!

He pulled Rudechaw up, Gartox appeared in front of them and was about to stomp the 2 but they dodged his foot and he hit the tree that later fell on the ground.

The scene changed to Wangzhou, Kurai and Raijin as they were on the backside of the power plant.

Raijin then boosted up his allies with a pair of cloudy stairs and they landed inside the parking lot of the plant.

They then ran towards the structure.

The scene changed back to Gartox, Rudechaw and Bull who were now ringing around the rosies around a tree.

Rudechaw: Can't you do something? Like arrest him? You're under arrest Gartox!

Gartox growled and then they turned to the other side.

Bull: I do the arresting here! You're under arrest Gartox!

Gartox tackled them to the ground and was about to stomp on them if it wasn't for Max who did a flying kick to the Corrupted monster and sending him flying to a tree where he stuck his head.

Max: Bull I told you to escort Rudechaw back to the ship.
Bull: I know but you called Dark-Er for help and I thought that all units should be there for support.
Max: That's for the rest of us, you're job is to escort the prisoner to safety.

Gartox punched Max away as she landed on her feet, he then freed his head from the tree and looked at Rudechaw and the heroes.

Rudechaw chuckled nervously.

Rudechaw: Gartox, you gotta believe me! This is a misunderstanding, this is a trap. Iwas actually setting them up so you can beat them down! Yeah that's it.
Gartox: Shut your flip flopping flab!

Then suddenly he heard some noises behind his surroundings.

Then Dark-Er jumped out of a rock.

Dark-Er: MACHO ELBOW!!!

He did an elbow drop on Gartox and lied ontop of him.

Dark-Er: You guys go, I'll handle him.

They nodded and they left.

Max noticed Bull dragging Rudechaw.

Max: I thought I told you to go back to the ship.
Bull: Liuetenant, the Starr Force convetions says we can bring a prisoner on our mission but we have to keep him safe.
Max: Fine, but you're job now is to keep Rudechaw safe.

She then ran at full speed to the plant.

Bull was about to charge full speed ahead.

Rudechaw: Are you trying to get me killed?

Bull sighed and they just ran normally to the plant.

Max arrived inside the plant to see the others who were waiting for her.

Crow: We just crashed to the fire alarm and the workers evacuated before they could see the pack.
Kaori: We were waiting for you so we can take Wangzhou on.

Then Bull and Rudechaw appeared.

Bull: I'm ready for duty sir!
Mani: First of all what's that bucket of fur doing with us.
Bull: Liuetenant Max, this bucket of fur is slowling me- I mean the mission down!
Max: Sorry but I can't help you there Bull, you agreed on taking care of Rudechaw so it's now your responsibility. Now come on, let's stop them quickly.

They ran to find Wangzhou and the others and left the 2 alone.

Gartox appeared out of nowhere.

Gartox: You little snitch!

They turned around and tackle both Bull and Rudechaw to the ground.

Then Dark-Er appeared and tackled Gartox to a wall.

Dark-Er: Sorry Bull, he slipped on me. I got him this time.

Bull nodded as he dragged Rudechaw away.

Gartox got up and charged at Dark-Er.

Gartox: AYO!!!

Bull and Rudechaw arrived to where the others were.

Bull: Liuetenant, permission to throw the prisoner in that vault.

He pointed at a huge vault.

Max: Better safe inside than outside, you have my permission.
Rudechaw: No don't do it! I have claustrophobia, I'll be behave and he a good prisoner if I come with you!

Bull growled as he uncuffed their hands.

He opened the vault and tossed Rudechaw inside and closed the door.

He began locking it.

Bull: I'll let you out before you say "Boom"

He finished locking it.

Rudechaw: BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Bull turned around and saluted to Max.

Bull: Ready for duty!
Mani: This whole world is on acid...
Kaori: I know.
Max: Alright, let's go stop them.

The scene changed to a fule rod room where the pack were inside a pit filled with fule rods.

Kurai gave a fule rod to Raijin who then passed it to Wangzhou from below.

Wangzhou then went to put the fule rod in a fuel rod tube case, the case had 4 rods inside.

Wangzhou: Keep the fuel rods coming!

Then Max and co arrived into the room.

Wangzhou: You again!

He growled and picked up the case.

Max: It's over Wangzhou! Give up.

She aimed her bracelet at Wangzhou who blocked the attack.

Kurai and Raijin came up and were ready to fight.

Kurai went to fight Kaori and Mani as he then swinged his sickles who countered with their sword/staff.

Max, Crow and Bull were approaching Wangzhou but Raijin got in the way.

They then fired their primary at the demon who growled in anger.

Raijin: You're done!

He then created a scythe made out of lightning and began fighting them.

Wangzhou had an idea to create a distraction.

He went to the nuclear core control pannel and pulled a lever.

Alarm: Warning, nuclear core is now overheating, please evacuate the building.

Wangzhou smirked as he then began destroying the pannep so the meltdown it couldn't be stopped.

Max: Oh no! This place is gonna go sky high!
Bull: We gotta leave this area.

He was tackled by Raijin and then Crow fought with him but he punched the human bird hybrid.

Raijin then shoved Max into the fuel rod pit and he jumped down.

Raijin: You're not going anywhere you pests, you'll soon die!
Max: That's what you think.

She grabbed an empty fuel rod and jumped and landed on Raijin's head before smacking his back with it, rendering the demon unconscious.

Bull got up and saw Wangzhou approaching him.

Wangzhou: We all know how this will end, cadet.
Bull: Yeah, it'll end with you serving a long long sentence.

He then began brawling with Wangzhou.

Kurai was busy fighting Kaori and Mani who double teamed on him and kicked him on the face, sending the oni crashing on a wall.

He was now stuck on the wall thanks to the lutum spikes on his back, he tried to free himself.

Kurai: This is only just a minor setback, the slaughtering will continue!

The couple approached the trapped oni with smirks on their faces.

Mani: I guess we stuck it to ya!

He then did a spinning kick and it knocked Kurai Kage out.

Wangzhou fought with Bull, the former emperor threw the case at the cadet but he ducked.

Wangzhou punched Bull and then grabbed his hands and used his powers to keep his hands close together and now split apart.

Wangzhou: I'm leaving with my fuel rods without trouble or my prisoner will come back in pieces.
Bull: Go without me liuetenant Max! Save yourself!

Then Gartox appeared.

Wangzhou: Ah Gartox, so nice of you to join the grand finale!
Gartox: I got held by that no good traitor, don't worry he won't be bother us no more.
Wangzhou: Good, now it's time for us to take our leave. Bring the case Gartox.

Gartox grabbed the case and they began leaving with Bull hostage.

They got out of the room.

Wangzhou: This is where we depart cadet, you'd only slow us down!

He then shoved Bull who hit a wall and fell to the ground.

Wangzhou: Now you have a choice to make, either you try to stop us or you try to save your friends. Make up your mind!

He and Gartox began leaving, Bull got up and saw the door to the reactor room shutting down.

Bull went to go and budge it by tackling.

Wangzhou cackled as he and Gartox stopped and turned to look at Bull.

Wangzhou: Of course you would try to save your friends, you humans are so predictable.

Then Dark-Er appeared.

Dark-Er: Were you able to predict this?

He speared both Wangzhou and Gartox, Gartox was out cold but Wangzhou saw the case and grabbed it.

He got up and made a run for it and escaped through a closing door.

Bull: Dark-Er you go and break the door, I'll go after Wangzhou.

It was too late as the door Wangzhou escaped through has closed completely.

Bull: Crap! Well let's save the others!
Dark-Er: Okay, on it!

He then began breaking the door and saw the others who were trying to break through it on the other side.

Bull: It's great that you guys are ok, Wangzhou escaped with the rods.
Mani: Nevermind that, we have to stop this nuclear plant from going to nuclear bomb.
Max: Bull come help me up.

They went to the unconscious Raijin and began picking them up.

Crow: Hey, what are you doing? Leave them!
Max: Hey, they may be our enemies but we can't let them die.
Kaori: She's right, I may despise them but it's better to save them than leave them for dead.

She went to pick up Kurai.

Crow sighed as he, Mani and Dark-Er went to pick up Gartox.

They then managed to find an exit to outside and placed the unconscious pack members on the ground.

Gartox:...Must...Crush....Rudechaw...

Bull's eyes widened.

Bull: Rudechaw! I forgot about him!
Crow: Leave him! It's too late now, we can't go back inside.
Bull: I'm not like Wangzhou who left his team to die, he's also my prisoner so it's my job to look after him!

He then went towards the door and Max, Kaori and Mani went to hold the door before closing.

Max: Go Bull, save him. Also Crow you and Dark-Er escort the prisoners and find a way to stop the plant from exploding.

Bull went towards the vault and opened it.

Rudechaw came out.

Rudechaw: You said you'd let me out before I said boom. I said boom 300 times.
Bull: Stop complaining and let's get out.

They then began walking towards the door where Max and co were holding.

Mani: Can't hold on much longer...
Kaori: Me neither...
Max: Bull... Hurry...

They let go and the door was slowly closing but suddenly Rudechaw put his hand to stop it.

Rudechaw: Owww!
Max: Rudechaw you stopped the door from closing, you saved us!
Rudechaw: Save us? I'm trying to save myself here! Help me get this off my hand!

They helped push the door up so that Rudechaw's hand is free and they got out of the plant.

Max approached Crow.

Max: I thought I told you to stop the core from blowing up.
Crow: Hey don't blame me! These assholes here didn't put an "off switch" sign.
Alarm: Warning, 3 seconds before meltdown.

Crow then smashed the panel with his hands.

Alarm: Core is now cooling down.
Max: Nice!
Crow: I was always a tech person.

Then they turned around to view the now captured pack.

Kaori: I wish I could've nailed Wangzhou to the ground and grab the fuel rods
Mani: But instead he left us these lame criminals.
Max: What's important is that we caught almost all of them, Wangzhou's days will be outnumbered eventually, but what does he plan on doing with those rods...

Rudechaw then coughed.

Rudechaw: So now that I saved you guys, mind sparring me from arrest and take me home to Galaxar?
Bull: Highly unlikely, but we'll have to let the judge decide on your sentence. He'll maybe cut off 5 or 7 years from your 100 year sentence in stasis.

He then placed the cuffs on Rudechaw's arms.

Rudechaw: What the- But I saved you guys! Oh forget it!

The scene changed to Wangzhou who was running in the middle of the forest with the fuel rods.

Suddenly a portal opened in front of him.

???: Great job Wangzhou, you got the fuel rods... But at what cost?
Wangzhou: With the cost of my pack, but they outlived their usefulness till not.
???: Alright, hand me over the-
Wangzhou: I think not.

He then held the case tighter.

Wangzhou: I deliver directly to those that request something, so you'll have to meet me in person. Be sure to tell your superior about that.
???: Will do... See you tomorrow Wangzhou...

The portal closed and Wangzhou smirked devilishly.

The scene changed back to the ship where the convicts were placed in seperate cells.

Brock: Congrats on capturing them guys.
Bo: But Wangzhou is still missing, we may have caught his pack but he's still won.
Col. Ruffs: Don't worry, we'll eventually catch him 1 day.
Max: So what do these guys do now?

Bull crossed his arms.

Bull: The Starr Force convention did say that we can treat the prisoners in comfortable cells while incarsaration and before be placed in stasis, and we gave them just.

The scene showed Gartox's cell.

He began destroying his room out of anger.

On Kurai's cell, Kurai tried using his sickles to break free but the laser cell bars electrocuted him.

Rudechaw's cell showed the beaver sitting on a comfy chair.

Rudechaw: This is the comfiest prison cell I had in a while.

Then his chair broke in half due to his weight.

The final cell showed Raijin bashing his head on the head since he's inprisoned yet again.

Mortis: Boy this is gonna be a wild ride.

OK guys, this was chapter 5.

Peace out!
