An amazing commission from ToyHouse for Peanut Butter Pup with Silly Misfit added in. I had fun doing this one!
There are so many keywords to list that I'm gonna stroke out; too many keywords to list!!! 🤯
Kyden runs down the hallway, brushing past and meandering around a few other furs that are in his way. Wearing his formal attire, the wolf races down the hallway as fast he could while tightly clutching a newspaper article in his right hand. His dark blue tie waves and flops about during his run to meet his friend.
"Jonas!!! Jonas!!!" The wolf shouts out in calling. He was hoping his friend will hear him, but when he makes a hard right to round the corner, he ends up falling over, "I got-- Waaahhhh!!"
Losing his footing, Kyden falls onto the blue tiled floor and ends up landing on his left side after his slip. "Ooohhh, I need to stop doing that!" After righting himself, the wolf stands and begins searching for the newspaper article he wanted to show when he notices the paper on the other side, across from him. His fall has knocked some of the breath out of him but Kyden keeps going, determined to reach his friend. He retrieves the article and whirls around to dash off.
"Jooooooonnnnnaaaaaaaaassssssssss!!!" Kyden races down the hallway again, shouting out his friend's name once more. He couldn't afford to miss more of the ongoing trial at hand since he's already late; his car had broken down on the way to the courthouse. Walking to the courthouse was the last thing on his mind which he was not going to do; he received a ride from one of the attorneys on the case.
Jonas, meanwhile, was sitting outside of the lobby, reading up on an article on a past case that was successfully resolved. The goat was immersed in the former case while waiting for the recess to end when his ears fly up to his name being called, "JOOOOONNNNAAASSSSSS!"
"Mmh?" Jonas raises his head and turns to locate the source when he sees Kyden rushing towards him, the newspaper article clutched tightly in his hand. Watching his friend rush towards him, Jonas puts the article he's reading aside on a nearby table and stands up, smiling once Kyden reaches him. He jokes, "You're late, Kyden. Did you snag a paper to read on your way out?"
Kyden deflates at first, exhaling a visible puff of air. He groans shamefully, "I would have arrived sooner if my car didn't break down. That's the only thing that held me back." He turns pouty, beginning to stare directly at Jonas while also adding, "And to top it all off, I'm late, which is the worst thing to happen for an attorney. Sorry to keep you waiting."
Jonas waves the wolf's apology off with a dismissive wave, smiling while linking his right arm around his shoulders. "You have nothing to be sorry about, your ride broke down so I can understand why you're so upset. Though I wonder, what car did you have again?"
Kyden lightly sweats while grinning nervously, proceeding to rub his head with his eyes closed. "Ah, it was a gift from someone in return for assisting them. It was a Porsche 911 Turbo. 1979, in fact." If Kyden is nervous now, then he's unprepared for Jonas' reaction.
"Whhhhhaaaaaaatttttttt!!!???" Upon learning of Kyden's former car, Jonas turns beady-eyed with complete surprise, going on to exclaim, "Why didn't you tell me? Those things are like, super popular!!!"
Jonas also grows beady-eyed, shrinking under the goat's sudden exclamation. He returns to normal and shakes his head, denying Jonas' claim. "Nah, it's not that popular. Man, the layout of that thing is so weird. You got an engine in the back and the front being used as the trunk!"
"Unless you know what you're doing, it's a real challenge." Jonas retorts in a smug fashion. "Give me a vehicle any day and I can work on it and fix it."
A shout is heard from the chambers, signaling the end of the recess. "Everyone back inside! Court is about to reconvene again!" One of the guards had given the heads-up for everyone to come back inside and people began to pile inside. Among them is a doberman judge in a black robe, passing by in the background. Jonas and Kyden watch the people make their way back into the courtroom and they turn to each other, ready to head inside.
"Once again, I'm really sorry for being late." Kyden apologizes again. Jonas, however, brushes him off once again, linking his arm around the wolf's shoulders again. The goat responds, "Like I said before, you have nothing to be sorry for; nothing to worry about. Who knew? Now let's head back inside now, shall we?" And the two begin to follow the crowd, stepping into the room.
Hushed whispers fill the now packed courtroom from the events of the trial at hand. Seconds later, the sound of a gavel slamming down is heard from the Judge's bench, this signaling the continuation of the trial.
"Court is back in session for the trial of Ms. Roseanne McCarthy." The doberman judge announces to quiet the courtroom. He directs his attention between the defense and the prosecution to ensure they're ready, "Now, I assume that both sides are ready to continue with their arguments?"
Taking up the prosecution side is a muscular arctic wolf, his golden eyes gazing confidently towards the defense side. He gives a smug smile and announces, "The prosecution is ready, Your Honor! Let's pack this thing up!"
On the defense side are two felines; taking the lead in this trial is a black and white furred Maine Coon and with him is a fluffy, white furred female ragdoll cat supporting him as his co-counsel.
The young Maine coon smiled, inclining his head towards the Judge while also announcing, "The defense is ready to continue, Your Honor." But after saying this, he grows apprehensive and makes a request. "Um, Your Honor, the defense requests to speak to the prosecution. There's something that's been bugging me lately…"
Intrigued by the young cat and his request, the doberman judge inclines his head to the side while raising an eyebrow. "Mr. Blackburn, you want to address the prosecution?" Turning normal, the doberman scratches his chin in thought and shrugs afterwards, accepting the request. "I see nothing wrong with it; you have my full permission!"
The arctic wolf sneers directly at the Maine Coon, claiming, "Oh you want to talk to me now? Shouldn't it be obvious in what's already been discussed and chipped though?" He points to the Norwegian Forest Cat at the defendant stand while adding on, "The facts clearly state that Ms. Roseanne McCarthy, this fluffy defense attorney of a cat, is guilty; guilty of ransacking the police station!"
Hushed whispers flood the courtroom with the audience mumbling amongst themselves over whether or not the Norwegian Forest Cat is actually the true culprit. Even Jonas casts his gray eyes over to the pale blue / Ivory furred feline, taking note of her expression. "Ah? This is the defendant they're saying that's guilty? But most of the cops at the police station are mainly canines! That's not right; how can that even be possible?"
Kyden shifts his blue eyes over to Jonas, about to answer his friend when their ears go up to a cry in return.
The anime scene turns white, shifting focus away from the audience and focusing back on the prosecutor, whose smug grin is etched on his face, followed by the doberman judge, who appears more confused than before with his aquamarine eyes staring down at the defense. The scene now focused on the Maine Coon himself who is now angry, leaning forward with both hands on the table. He relaxes and his face turns normal; he begins to speak his mind.
"You say that Roseanne is guilty of destroying the police station? That's very intriguing!" The feline returns a smirk of his own while folding his arms across his chest, his blue eyes boring into the prosecuting wolf. But he receives a nudge from his ragdoll co-counsel, thinking that he's starting to get carried away.
"Tobi, what are you doing?" The ragdoll hisses vehemently at the black / white cat in return while giving him a heated, purple-eyed stern glare. "Do you want us to get penalized?"
"I got this, Joanna." Tobi whispers back in reassurance, "Neither you nor Roseanne have nothing to worry about."
The ragdoll grimaces, whispering to herself, "That's what I'm afraid of…"
Turning his sky blue eyes back to the prosecution, Tobi continues with his probing, treading into dangerous waters. "So, Mr. Barrett, you're accusing my sister of sabotage. That's a good joke coming from a person of interest."
The smile fades from the arctic wolf, now replaced by an expression of mixed intrigue. "Uh, I'm sorry," he plainly shakes his head at the defense, wondering what the young defense attorney is getting at. Seeing that sly smile on the Maine Coon makes him equally suspicious. But in the back of his mind, he had an idea of where this is starting to go, so he began playing it cool. "Where are you going with this? You're confusing us all now."
Even the judge agreed with the prosecution, directing his aquamarine eyes from the prosecution to the defense while appearing inquisitive. "I agree with Prosecutor Barrett here. Mr. Blackburn, you have some explaining to do; care to enlighten us all?"
"It's rather simple really, yet you're all overlooking a couple of key factors. Why is Mr. Barrett so focused on keeping his background a secret? And why is he putting my sister in the hot seat for something she never did? And most important, there is a certain file that Barrett has been so clingy about." Tobi opens up. A close-up of his glaring face occurs with him declaring, "One shocking answer will derail this city to its very core!!!"
While Tobi is beginning to pursue the Prosecutor based on his suspensions, the evidence given, and the witness testimonies and cross-examinations, Roseanne stands unconvinced, having a blank expression on her face at her brother's accusation, informing him, "I don't get it, Tobi. How are you so sure you know what you're doing? And how are you certain that you have all the facts?"
Tobi remains silent at first, his sky blue eyes still on the Arctic Wolf. He made no response to his sister from being taken slightly off-track. Though he makes no direct response to his sister, Tobi tosses his question to the prosecution, having revealed another trick underneath his sleeve. ".......Mr. Barrett, I have just one question to ask you, and answer truthfully now."
With the courtroom in tense silence and the arctic wolf staring directly at the Maine Coon with his ears straight up. He is deathly silent, for he fears if he speaks now, then this will lead to him jumping the gun. So he keeps silent, wondering what his rival has to ask of him.
This one single question that Tobi proposes exposes the true nature of the situation; appearing serious, he begins speaking his mind, "You're not actually an American citizen, are you?" He crosses his arms afterwards, grinning confidently at the prosecution upon questioning him.
"!" Barrett's inquisitive stare is now replaced by a mixed expression of anger, shock, and fear. His chest produces a sinking feeling upon being asked by the defense of his true identity. Tobi has just dropped a major bombshell that leaves everyone aghast!
"T-tobi, you're gonna get us all killed!!!" Joanna screeches in exasperation. The ragdoll co-counsel is now sweaty and nervous. She has no idea where this is going, having been completely blown away by Tobi's sudden inquiry.
Even Roseanne bristles up at the assumption her brother is making; rearing back in shock and puffing up, Roseanne claims, "How can you even say that?! Everybody knows that Mr. Barrett is of American citizenship! What makes you think otherwise?!"
In the audience, both Kyden and Jonas both have blank white-eyed, open-mouthed expressions upon hearing the black / white Maine Coon question the prosecution's nationality. Neither the goat nor the wolf could wrap their heads around it.
"What is he thinking?!" Jonas bleated in terror, "is he trying to kill us all?!"
"This isn't good! How does he know about citizenship anyway?" Kyden claims also, "He's treading on thin ice here! One wrong move and that cat over there will be declared Guilty!" He points at Roseanne for emphasis.
The anime scene returns to view Tobi leaning on the desk only slightly, determined to follow through on his point. But through the uproar inside the courtroom, it is hard to concentrate with so many voices overlapping at once. So things will have to quiet down.
The doberman judge slams his gavel down thrice while declaring, "Order!!! Order in the court!!!" His annoyed expression is replaced with complete disbelief upon hearing the black / white speak; he trails his aquamarine eyes over to Tobi, declaring, "Mr. Blackburn, explain yourself at once! What gives you the right to question the prosecution that way??!!"
"Your Honor, think back to the testimonies of two earlier witnesses; their statements each hold information that will definitely prove Mr. Barrett's fraudulence." Tobi started, meeting the Judge's stare with his own.
Even Joanna grows surprised. She cuts in, "I remember! Mr. De Moyne stated he didn't know the prosecutor but he was given an incentive to represent him at a meeting!" The ragdoll then taps Tobi on the shoulder and, with a shocked gaze, she whispers, "Tobi, if you know what you're doing, then go for it."
The black / white feline nods to Joanna and returns his attention back to the Judge, the prosecution, and the audience. He mentions, "Apart from the witness testimonies, there is also some incriminating evidence that will prove Barrett's guilt. After all, what reason would a police chief have to chase a defense attorney out of the station or the records room for that matter?"
Now the Arctic Wolf is enraged and angry, his face red with fire. He dismisses the defense's accusation as mere foul play. He screams, "Judge!!! Penalize this rodent!!! This is blasphemy!!!"
Before anyone can react to this statement, the defense returns back in overtaking the situation.
After giving an objection to the command, Tobi returns, "Penalize me for what? Calling you a coward?" This time, the Maine Coon forcefully objects, pointing directly at the wolf prosecutor across from him and Joanna. "After all, cowards don't run! Real people face their fears head-on! You're a respected police commissioner and prosecutor, aren't you?! Then prove it and get on with it already!" Reaching into a compartment, he declares, "Prove it using this piece of evidence you were trying to kill my sister over!!!"
Obtaining a Manila colored folder, Tobi hurls it directly at the prosecution, almost begging them to take it, "Raahh!!!'
The manilla envelope plainly smacks the prosecutor on the face. Grabbing the folder, he unpins the staple and begins to pull out the file slowly. He only manages to pull our the papers halfway before releasing a fearful scream in terror. "This is the- the- how did you--?"
"All of the evidence is in these files gathered from the police database; among these are a couple of voice files that will also prove him a fraud." Tobi mentions in passing. He glares directly at the arctic wolf before him when the courtroom goes into an uproar, loud cries coming from the audience.
While Jonas covers his ears from the chatter, Kyden is left speechless from the defense attorney and his added accusation. He grabs Jonas' arms and removes them from his ears; the wolf gets up and begins leaving the room, dragging the goat with him by the wrist. Though Kyden now has a lot to tell, he couldn't do so due to a loud environment so he leads Jonas outside the courtroom where they can converse freely.
Just then, the judge slams his gavel down to quiet the courtroom again, declaring, "Order in the court!!! Silence, all of you!!!" Then the dog gives the prosecution an astonished glare, stammering in disbelief, "Chief Barrett, is it true that you are not--?"
Not only does the prosecutor scream out to silence the chattering crowd, but he also cuts off the judge in red rage, stammering, "N-no! That's not it! I… I am… Grrr…" Then the arctic wolf attempts to sneak a passing request out of the way, turning subtle. "I want an officer over here now to detain these lowlifes. Any officers available?"
Tobi objects right back to the prosecutor, lowering his hand after his forceful interjection. He plainly shakes his head while implying, "You're clearly forgetting something; all cops that look up to you will be thoroughly disappointed, most of them if not all. And since you've been here, some of them don't trust you one bit."
The arctic wolf snarls back at the feline in pure rage, "You little sneak! I will skin you alive for this!!!"
"Are you?" Tobi challenged back while pointing forcefully at the prosecutor in return. He then crosses his arms, turning his glare into a smirk while adding, "It looks like a few of the audience members in the jury are more interested in you than me.
"Gggrrrraaaaggghhhhh!!!" The wolf snarls in return, being overtaken once again. "This cannot be!!! I will not be defeated by some sick, puny runt of a lawyer!!!" He takes the manilla folder and chucks it towards the defendant in pure anger. Unfortunately, this seals his fate.
Roseanne manages to catch the manilla folder while staring at the prosecution with a heated, venomous glare. Her face is completely red with her eyes blank and white. She points to the arctic wolf, proclaiming, "You just made the dumbest mistake of all! The moment I start reading the names from this folder, you'll wish you'd have kept this folder!"
Immediately the prosecutor screams out, "NOOOOOOO! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOO!!!!" If Roseanne pulls those papers from that folder, he knows he is done for. The courtroom goes into an uproar again when the Judge slams his gavel down to quiet the crowd.
"Order, I say!!! Everyone, quiet down now!!!" The judge grows shell-shocked afterwards and turns his attention to Barrett, finally understanding the defense's suspicions. He asserts, "Mr. Barrett, I would like to see evidence that shows your line of work. If you can dismiss these allegations the defense is making about you, then I too, am intrigued on what you have to say for this matter."
Even Joanna and Roseanne agree with the judge. The judge demanded proof from Barrett to show his past line of work. But it wasn't because the doberman didn't believe the defense; oh no, Tobi's suspicions made even the judge suspicious about the arctic wolf and now the dog himself seeked answers from Barrett. Only problem is, Barrett had no proof and he now found himself backed into a corner.
Desperate to escape his situation, Barrett turns to the audience and bellows, "ONE OF YOU, COME DOWN AND HELP ME NOW!!!"
Seeing this, Tobi taunts, "Seriously, you're turning to the jury for assistance? You're dumber than I thought. You have no proof to show your work habits so where does that leave then, hmm?" Another close-up of his furry face takes place with him pointing to the arctic wolf and declaring, "You're a complete fraud!!!"
The judge gives an angry glare to the wolf prosecutor. Upon setting his aquamarine sights on him, he declares, "Guards, Bailiff, arrest Mr. Barrett immediately!!!"
"This isn't the end! All of you will pay!!!" Immediately, the prosecutor abandons his post and flees the courtroom with at least five other furs chasing him to capture him. Little did anyone know that this situation will turn more intense.
Jonas sat outside the lobby, shaking in complete fear. Kyden filled him in on what was going on, how the defense accused the prosecution of fraud, the evidence that was presented, and the allegations made. Though Kyden was blown away by the proceedings and the events, Jonas was fearful; he wondered if the prosecutor was actually a criminal in disguise!
While the young goat is waiting for his friend to return, he's left alone while considering the information he's been filled in on. He keeps his eyes to the ground while sitting in one of the chairs outside. But despite his brooding expression, the goat had some kind of idea about what's really going on. The only problem is, it is literally coming to him.
A loud commotion approaches, which catches Jonas' attention and makes him fearful, "Huh? Wh-what's going on now?"
The doors leading to the courtroom burst open to reveal the fleeing prosecutor; desperate to escape, the false prosecutor attempts to find a bargain to force his pursuers off of him when he sets his sights on the goat!
"Ggggggrrrrrrrrr…!!!" Barrett gives the goat a devilish grin, having set his eyes on him. The wolf begins chuckling maniacally while advancing further towards Jonas. But when he hears the commotion behind him, he immediately seized hold of the goat, intending to use him as a human shield.
"Ggwwwaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!" Jonas screams in terror from Barrett's frighteningly strong grip. But then things get worse upon notice of the guards that were sent to arrest him. And once they make their way onto the scene, they are met with a hostage situation.
An anime cutscene displays a tense standoff between the two sides. The guards have their weapons trained on the Arctic Wolf but with his grip on Jonas, he threatens, "Back off or the goat gets it!!!"
One of the guards calls out, "Just surrender peacefully and let him go; he has nothing to do with this!" He's referring to Jonas, who is an innocent bystander having been caught in the situation at the wrong time. But things get worse when Barrett backs up towards the front entrance, turning around to bolt while dragging Jonas with him.
Four of the guards give chase with their weapons secured to their inventories. Two of them stay behind, having an idea of who was with the young goat. At that moment, Kyden reappears, rushing back into the lobby when he notices the two guards. Growing worried, the brown wolf inquires, "W-where's Jonas? He's supposed to be here! I told him to wait while I was gone!"
One of them gives the brown wolf an apologetic stare while shaking his head. He replies, "Your friend has been kidnapped by the prosecution. He's on the run at the moment."
"WWWWHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT?????!!!!" Not only is Kyden aghast with terror at learning that his best friend has been kidnapped but he's now furious upon learning who snatched him. Clenching his fists in determination, Kyden points to the door while the other two guards move to action, "WELL DON'T JUST STAND THERE, LET'S SAVE HIM! THAT IS MY BESTIE!!!"
The anime scene then changes to a police pursuit in progress with at least 4 different vehicles flying by in the background.
There are three police vehicles in pursuit of the Veyron: Koenigsegg Agera, Koenigsegg CCX, Gumpert Apollo S. These are the initial vehicles chasing the suspect, but with the condition the pursuit is in, more units will be joining the chase very soon; even the tactics are up to the max.
The pursuit heads eastbound along Lakeside Avenue, heading away from the courthouse. Everyone was pitching in to stop the fiend from escaping with the young goat because not only is the prosecutor a fake like the defense has proven, but there is a darker secret that will be revealed later on. Only problem is that the arctic wolf is an aggressive, reckless driver who will stop for nothing; he is willing to smash anyone out of the way to make his escape.
At the same time, another call comes out for a heads-up…
The scene pauses in the midst of the action, switching to a top-down view of the Bugatti Veyron. A brown flame icon appears and crackling noises sound in the background with the flames drawing away from the chase, shooting about half a mile ahead to stop at a roadblock. From left to right: Nissan 370Z, Ford Shelby GT500, Mercedes SLS AMG. Once the roadblock is shown, the brown flames shoot back to the pursuit and time resumes in normal real-time.
Moments into the chase, the Apollo S attempts an overtake on the fleeing Veyron, attempting to get in front. However, Barrett presses down on the accelerator, charging towards the Special Response hypercar and punching it in the rear.
Blasting down the road at high speed, the roadblock is fast approaching. Yet the police attempt to crack down on their target; the Special Response Agera punches the Veyron from behind with Barrett and Jonas reeling from the collision. The fleeing prosecutor swerves hard to avoid another hit, watching the Agera pass them.
"Wwwwaaaaahhhhhhh!!!" Once the Special Response CCX moves in, the police car begins charging the Veyron from the rear in an attempt to push it off the road. However, the brake lights to the Veyron come on and the hypercar slows down, giving Barrett the opportunity to regain control with the CCX passing him. In an act of spiteful revenge, Barrett unleashes a Shockwave attack to shove the three police cars forward, right into the police roadblock...
The trio of police cars end up plowing into the roadblock, causing each one to crash and rollover.
While Barrett shoots along, plowing one of the crashed police cars away, a distress call is picked up.
Immediately, Barrett slows down to cut his speed, causing the hydraulic rear winglet to raise up under the hard braking. He notices a McLaren F1 Special Response car about 3 car lengths ahead, turning around to join the pursuit.
Incidentally, a Porsche 911 GT2 RS Speed Enforcement unit appears from the right to overtake but the suspect also slams into the police vehicle from the side, shoving it away with an ESF.
Jonas could do nothing but just sit in silent horror while shaking in fear. Not only is this arctic wolf a menacingly powerful wolf, but his driving style is aggressive and reckless. The Bugatti Veyron he is driving is a clear sign of his driving ability and he is taking it out on the police. The goat wanted to scream out loud in terror, yet he fears the wolf's reaction. He's already been kidnapped and taken hostage in a situation he has no control over; why make it worse. He couldn't contact Kyden because of how close he is to the evil prosecutor. All it takes is a simple dial tone for him to glance over to the goat, rendering the call completely useless.
The anime scene switches to a bright red Ferrari 599 GTO hurtling down the road with Kyden riding shotgun and a gray furred Timber Wolf behind the wheel, both occupied with catching up to the Veyron. The brown wolf is not only furious, but also worried about Jonas' safety. But having to catch up to the fleeing hypercar is challenging, considering that the Veyron is much faster than the 599; chances are it is more durable and heavier too.
"Come on! Step on it! We're losing him!" Kyden is growing impatient to the point of snapping. He demands that the driver speed up, yet the Timber Wolf remarks, "These twists and turns help a bit but-- whoa…"
"Oh my gosh!" Kyden and the driver take notice of the destroyed roadblock once they pass by. Most of the cops had managed to exit their way out of the crashed police vehicles while assisting the others that were involved. This fueled their motivation even further to catch the wicked arctic wolf.
"I hope they're alright." Kyden comments while feeling the acceleration effects from the 599 GTO. "I never knew this guy was that aggressive! All the more so for him to be captured!"
"Dammit!" The Timber Wolf driver growls out in frustration. "Even if we tried going at top speed, we'd still be unable to catch up… unless…"
"Unless?" Kyden shoots him an uneasy, blue-eyed glance upon wondering just what this driver had in mind regarding the runaway suspect. But more police chatter soon derails their thought process.
Attempting to make light humor of the situation, Kyden fails to hold in a laugh upon commenting further, "Even the local cops can't keep their heads on straight!" He then turns thoughtful and asks further, "By the way, do you know who funds the government for these types of vehicles?"
The wolf driver sighs in return, "I don't know but this guy is going to have a massive bill to pay."
The anime scene then focuses on a new police roadblock that is ahead of the pursuit. From left to right: Porsche Cayman S, Jaguar XKR, Aston Martin DBS, spike strip. The scene then zooms back to the pursuit at hand showing a now lightly damaged Veyron along with multiple police cars in pursuit. The scene resumes in normal real-time.
A Special Response Bugatti Veyron Super Sport punches the brown hypercar in the rear, forcing Barrett to swerve hard to avoid another attack. The Super Sport, however, slows down and begins to ram the brown bumper in an attempt to send the suspect off the road. Unfortunately, Barrett applies the brakes again while countersteering, causing the Super Sport to pass him. In another act of revenge, Barrett activates an ESF and punches the Super Sport in the rear, forcing it forward and causing the lights on the police car to flicker.
With the damaged Super Sport in front, two more police cars, a Bugatti Veyron 16:4 and a Koenigsegg CCXR Edition, move in to box the perp in while approaching the roadblock. The arctic wolf then unleashes a Shockwave attack, cutting his speed afterwards to watch the resulting chaos.
After the Special Response Super Sport is punched in the back, the police car ends up smashing into the Highway Patrol Jaguar XKR and the Rapid Deployment Aston Martin DBS, causing severe damage to all three vehicles. Both of the roadblock vehicles end up spinning and sliding out of control while the Super Sport ends up lifting into the air rear-first before crashing into the wall afterwards upon landing.
Through the chaos, Barrett maneuvers through the opened gap to pass the roadblock. He also misses the spike strip once again. After this, another distress call is sent out.
All Jonas could do is hold on for dear life with his heart sinking in his chest. He's never been so fearful in his life until now! Among the carnage he's been riding past, Barrett's mocking laughter seems to intimidate him the most with the Arctic Wolf declaring, "You pigs are powerless to stop me! All of you are failures!!!"
The pursuit continues along Big Timber Pass when a new entity shows up...
A police helicopter enters the scene of the pursuit, monitoring the chase for now; there are still units in pursuit, though some are moving in to shut the guy down.
An EMP lock-on is attempted on the fleeing Veyron while at the same time, another roadblock is called in. The scene pauses once more, changing to a brown flame icon and zooming ahead of the pursuit to display the police roadblock. From left to right: Porsche 911 Targa 4S (997), Audi R8 5.2 FSI Quattro, spike strip, Aston Martin One-77, Bentley Continental Supersports Coupe. The scene then returns back to the pursuit, resuming in normal real-time.
Jonas wasn't looking forward to being zapped by the EMP, but if anything, he'd rather accept that than being forced to ride shotgun with an evil prosecutor. Unfortunately, Barrett isn't settling for it either, and he slams on his brakes to drop his speed while also activating an ESF in hopes of countering the incoming police EMP.
The suspect finds a shortcut and pulls onto the trail to avoid the police and the incoming EMP. The targeting reticle turns white while Barrett rockets down the shortcut. At the same time, the screaming buzzing of a 6.0L V12 engine is heard. Prior to rocketing out of the shortcut, a Speed Enforcement Pagani Zonda Cinque is ahead. Barrett targets the police car with an EMP while maintaining his speed. However, he lets other units converge on his location and begins attacking at the same time.
A Rapid Deployment Porsche Panamera Turbo moves in from the left and a Speed Enforcement Porsche 911 GT2 RS moves in from the right. While Barrett slams the Panamera from the right, the duration to the EMP runs out, guaranteeing a successful lock-on.
A brief cutscene zooms in on the Pagani Zonda Cinque and seconds later, the Speed Enforcement car is lit up in a bright blue flash from the EMP!
The result is a distorted police siren and flickering lights, yet the police car keeps right on going, even with a Tier 5 suspect vehicle on its bumper. The damage is further increased when Barrett punches the Pagani in the rear end with an ESF, forcing it forward.
At the same time, the suspect slows down upon nearing the roadblock, and like last time, he unleashes a Shockwave to send the police cars around him sprawling out of the way.
The carnage intensifies in a flash once again. As a result of the powerful Shockwave, the Panamera slams into the rear of the 911 Targa 4s while the Pagani ends up hitting the spikes. Even the 911 GT2 ends up smashing into the R8 5.2 FSI Quattro. The only roadblock vehicles that aren't affected are the Aston Martin One-77 and the Bentley Continental Supersports Coupe. The other two are trashed.
In the midst of the chaos, Barrett loses momentum after tapping the R8 police car and he himself ends up rolling over the strip, losing his right rear wheel in the process.
No matter! One wheel isn't much of a loss to the suspect, but losing any wheel from a spike strip means less handling capabilities. At the same time, another distress call is sent out, just as two more police cars begin to converge.
From the right, a Rapid Deployment Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake smacks the brown Veyron with an ESF, forcibly shoving the hypercar away; the jolt sends both occupants screaming out of control. The lights to the hypercar flicker only briefly, but Barrett manages to regain control and fight back, using an ESF of his own to force the blue police car away.
The police helicopter zooms ahead in the air, proceeding to send spike strips skydiving down to the ground ahead of the pursuit. At the same time, Barrett engages the blue Super Snake police car again, ramming it from the side again.
A follow-up with a Shockwave doesn't help matters for the cops either, yet the suspect is so occupied with the police, he isn't paying attention until he is right on top of a helicopter spike strip until he veers away, losing another wheel in the process.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" The two occupants scream again from being hit with a powerful Shock Ram. Only this time, it literally kills the 8.0L Quad-Turbocharged W12 of the brown Bugatti Veyron. The culprit behind this is a Special Response Koenigsegg CCXR Edition, and this new attack sends the Veyron twirling to a complete halt. Smoke begins to rise from the engine bay as the police move in to converge on the disabled hypercar.
Immediately, Jonas scrambles to exit the Veyron, running for dear life when his ears fly up to the sound of a V12 approaching, causing him to stop and listen. The goat desperately surveys the scene while listening in, happening to spot a bright red Ferrari 599 GTO emerge from a shortcut and spin to a halt.
Jonas freezes in terror but at the same time, a commotion is heard behind him as the wolf prosecutor is being arrested by the cops. Once the doors to the Ferrari 599 GTO open, a familiar figure emerges and rushes to the fearful goat. At the same time, a familiar voice snaps Jonas out of his freak out. "Jonas…?"
The young goat blinks in recognition of the voice, perking up to the voice. "...Kyden???"
Overjoyed at seeing the goat, Kyden leaves the 599 GTO, rushing to meet his friend. "JONAS!!!"
Jonas views a brown wolf running to meet him and he grows astonished at seeing who it is. He too rushes to meet the wolf, "KYDEN!!!"
The two friends meet and tackle each other in a hug while laughing together, overjoyed at seeing and being reunited with each other once again. The harrowing pursuit is over with the evil arctic wolf arrested, but not without damages to pay. Once the situation is over, the cops report a successful arrest.
With everything now under control, the scene cuts back to the courtroom now with Jonas and Kyden seated in the audience to watch the verdict be handed down. Even the judge himself is recovering after these events, but he's recovered enough to compose himself and perform his job.
"My word! This has been one crazy day! From accusations to a high-Speed hostage situation! I have never witnessed anything of this sort before!" The judge inclines his head to make out Jonas and Kyden in the audience, giving the two a smile and an acknowledging nod while adding, "but I am happy that everyone is safe."
The judge does a double take with his aquamarine eyes widening in astonished surprise. He directs his attention to the defense next, mentioning, "Mr. Blackburn, Your sister handed me that police database and I did some research on it. You were right! That prosecutor is actually a most wanted criminal from Canada! No wonder you were so suspicious! I applaud you for your bravery and heroism!"
Seeing the Judge's warm smile with his commendation makes Tobi blush. The Maine Coon himself admits, "It's nothing really. I had my suspicions and they proved true!"
The doberman's warm smile remains while he gives another acknowledging nod to the defense in return. Then with an excited smile, he declares, "Time for the verdict!" In hushed, suspenseful silence, the Judge declares, "On the charges of evidence tampering and theft, I find the defendant, Ms. Roseanne McCarthy…"
"...NOT GUILTY!!!" Raising his gavel up in excited fervor, the doberman judge hands down his verdict to the Norwegian Forest Cat, declaring her innocent!
With the judge having rendered this verdict, cheers erupt from the audience with confetti raining from above. Roseanne appears relieved to have been declared innocent while Joanna is spinning around in circular excitement. Tobi appears happy that his sister is declared not guilty and he gives the forest cat a thumbs-up with Roseanne returning the gesture. Even Kyden and Jonas were hugging each other in the audience, elated at the verdict.
"With that being said, court is adjourned!!!" The judge slams his gavel down in satisfaction, having declared an innocent party not guilty and ending the trial.

Story is below!
After witnessing and reading about an outspoken league of attorneys, a pair of best friends attempt to suit up and make an entry into the law firm. Only problem is that one of the friends is kidnapped in the process. What was supposed to be an exciting, inspirational time turns into a rescue mission. Will the kidnapped victim return alive?
Goat Rescue
Kyden runs down the hallway, brushing past and meandering around a few other furs that are in his way. Wearing his formal attire, the wolf races down the hallway as fast he could while tightly clutching a newspaper article in his right hand. His dark blue tie waves and flops about during his run to meet his friend.
"Jonas!!! Jonas!!!" The wolf shouts out in calling. He was hoping his friend will hear him, but when he makes a hard right to round the corner, he ends up falling over, "I got-- Waaahhhh!!"
*THUD!*
Losing his footing, Kyden falls onto the blue tiled floor and ends up landing on his left side after his slip. "Ooohhh, I need to stop doing that!" After righting himself, the wolf stands and begins searching for the newspaper article he wanted to show when he notices the paper on the other side, across from him. His fall has knocked some of the breath out of him but Kyden keeps going, determined to reach his friend. He retrieves the article and whirls around to dash off.
"Jooooooonnnnnaaaaaaaaassssssssss!!!" Kyden races down the hallway again, shouting out his friend's name once more. He couldn't afford to miss more of the ongoing trial at hand since he's already late; his car had broken down on the way to the courthouse. Walking to the courthouse was the last thing on his mind which he was not going to do; he received a ride from one of the attorneys on the case.
Jonas, meanwhile, was sitting outside of the lobby, reading up on an article on a past case that was successfully resolved. The goat was immersed in the former case while waiting for the recess to end when his ears fly up to his name being called, "JOOOOONNNNAAASSSSSS!"
"Mmh?" Jonas raises his head and turns to locate the source when he sees Kyden rushing towards him, the newspaper article clutched tightly in his hand. Watching his friend rush towards him, Jonas puts the article he's reading aside on a nearby table and stands up, smiling once Kyden reaches him. He jokes, "You're late, Kyden. Did you snag a paper to read on your way out?"
Kyden deflates at first, exhaling a visible puff of air. He groans shamefully, "I would have arrived sooner if my car didn't break down. That's the only thing that held me back." He turns pouty, beginning to stare directly at Jonas while also adding, "And to top it all off, I'm late, which is the worst thing to happen for an attorney. Sorry to keep you waiting."
Jonas waves the wolf's apology off with a dismissive wave, smiling while linking his right arm around his shoulders. "You have nothing to be sorry about, your ride broke down so I can understand why you're so upset. Though I wonder, what car did you have again?"
Kyden lightly sweats while grinning nervously, proceeding to rub his head with his eyes closed. "Ah, it was a gift from someone in return for assisting them. It was a Porsche 911 Turbo. 1979, in fact." If Kyden is nervous now, then he's unprepared for Jonas' reaction.
"Whhhhhaaaaaaatttttttt!!!???" Upon learning of Kyden's former car, Jonas turns beady-eyed with complete surprise, going on to exclaim, "Why didn't you tell me? Those things are like, super popular!!!"
Jonas also grows beady-eyed, shrinking under the goat's sudden exclamation. He returns to normal and shakes his head, denying Jonas' claim. "Nah, it's not that popular. Man, the layout of that thing is so weird. You got an engine in the back and the front being used as the trunk!"
"Unless you know what you're doing, it's a real challenge." Jonas retorts in a smug fashion. "Give me a vehicle any day and I can work on it and fix it."
A shout is heard from the chambers, signaling the end of the recess. "Everyone back inside! Court is about to reconvene again!" One of the guards had given the heads-up for everyone to come back inside and people began to pile inside. Among them is a doberman judge in a black robe, passing by in the background. Jonas and Kyden watch the people make their way back into the courtroom and they turn to each other, ready to head inside.
"Once again, I'm really sorry for being late." Kyden apologizes again. Jonas, however, brushes him off once again, linking his arm around the wolf's shoulders again. The goat responds, "Like I said before, you have nothing to be sorry for; nothing to worry about. Who knew? Now let's head back inside now, shall we?" And the two begin to follow the crowd, stepping into the room.
Hushed whispers fill the now packed courtroom from the events of the trial at hand. Seconds later, the sound of a gavel slamming down is heard from the Judge's bench, this signaling the continuation of the trial.
"Court is back in session for the trial of Ms. Roseanne McCarthy." The doberman judge announces to quiet the courtroom. He directs his attention between the defense and the prosecution to ensure they're ready, "Now, I assume that both sides are ready to continue with their arguments?"
Taking up the prosecution side is a muscular arctic wolf, his golden eyes gazing confidently towards the defense side. He gives a smug smile and announces, "The prosecution is ready, Your Honor! Let's pack this thing up!"
On the defense side are two felines; taking the lead in this trial is a black and white furred Maine Coon and with him is a fluffy, white furred female ragdoll cat supporting him as his co-counsel.
The young Maine coon smiled, inclining his head towards the Judge while also announcing, "The defense is ready to continue, Your Honor." But after saying this, he grows apprehensive and makes a request. "Um, Your Honor, the defense requests to speak to the prosecution. There's something that's been bugging me lately…"
Intrigued by the young cat and his request, the doberman judge inclines his head to the side while raising an eyebrow. "Mr. Blackburn, you want to address the prosecution?" Turning normal, the doberman scratches his chin in thought and shrugs afterwards, accepting the request. "I see nothing wrong with it; you have my full permission!"
The arctic wolf sneers directly at the Maine Coon, claiming, "Oh you want to talk to me now? Shouldn't it be obvious in what's already been discussed and chipped though?" He points to the Norwegian Forest Cat at the defendant stand while adding on, "The facts clearly state that Ms. Roseanne McCarthy, this fluffy defense attorney of a cat, is guilty; guilty of ransacking the police station!"
Hushed whispers flood the courtroom with the audience mumbling amongst themselves over whether or not the Norwegian Forest Cat is actually the true culprit. Even Jonas casts his gray eyes over to the pale blue / Ivory furred feline, taking note of her expression. "Ah? This is the defendant they're saying that's guilty? But most of the cops at the police station are mainly canines! That's not right; how can that even be possible?"
Kyden shifts his blue eyes over to Jonas, about to answer his friend when their ears go up to a cry in return.
"OBJECTION!"
The anime scene turns white, shifting focus away from the audience and focusing back on the prosecutor, whose smug grin is etched on his face, followed by the doberman judge, who appears more confused than before with his aquamarine eyes staring down at the defense. The scene now focused on the Maine Coon himself who is now angry, leaning forward with both hands on the table. He relaxes and his face turns normal; he begins to speak his mind.
"You say that Roseanne is guilty of destroying the police station? That's very intriguing!" The feline returns a smirk of his own while folding his arms across his chest, his blue eyes boring into the prosecuting wolf. But he receives a nudge from his ragdoll co-counsel, thinking that he's starting to get carried away.
"Tobi, what are you doing?" The ragdoll hisses vehemently at the black / white cat in return while giving him a heated, purple-eyed stern glare. "Do you want us to get penalized?"
"I got this, Joanna." Tobi whispers back in reassurance, "Neither you nor Roseanne have nothing to worry about."
The ragdoll grimaces, whispering to herself, "That's what I'm afraid of…"
Turning his sky blue eyes back to the prosecution, Tobi continues with his probing, treading into dangerous waters. "So, Mr. Barrett, you're accusing my sister of sabotage. That's a good joke coming from a person of interest."
The smile fades from the arctic wolf, now replaced by an expression of mixed intrigue. "Uh, I'm sorry," he plainly shakes his head at the defense, wondering what the young defense attorney is getting at. Seeing that sly smile on the Maine Coon makes him equally suspicious. But in the back of his mind, he had an idea of where this is starting to go, so he began playing it cool. "Where are you going with this? You're confusing us all now."
Even the judge agreed with the prosecution, directing his aquamarine eyes from the prosecution to the defense while appearing inquisitive. "I agree with Prosecutor Barrett here. Mr. Blackburn, you have some explaining to do; care to enlighten us all?"
"It's rather simple really, yet you're all overlooking a couple of key factors. Why is Mr. Barrett so focused on keeping his background a secret? And why is he putting my sister in the hot seat for something she never did? And most important, there is a certain file that Barrett has been so clingy about." Tobi opens up. A close-up of his glaring face occurs with him declaring, "One shocking answer will derail this city to its very core!!!"
While Tobi is beginning to pursue the Prosecutor based on his suspensions, the evidence given, and the witness testimonies and cross-examinations, Roseanne stands unconvinced, having a blank expression on her face at her brother's accusation, informing him, "I don't get it, Tobi. How are you so sure you know what you're doing? And how are you certain that you have all the facts?"
Tobi remains silent at first, his sky blue eyes still on the Arctic Wolf. He made no response to his sister from being taken slightly off-track. Though he makes no direct response to his sister, Tobi tosses his question to the prosecution, having revealed another trick underneath his sleeve. ".......Mr. Barrett, I have just one question to ask you, and answer truthfully now."
With the courtroom in tense silence and the arctic wolf staring directly at the Maine Coon with his ears straight up. He is deathly silent, for he fears if he speaks now, then this will lead to him jumping the gun. So he keeps silent, wondering what his rival has to ask of him.
This one single question that Tobi proposes exposes the true nature of the situation; appearing serious, he begins speaking his mind, "You're not actually an American citizen, are you?" He crosses his arms afterwards, grinning confidently at the prosecution upon questioning him.
(BGM: Bionic - Crispin Hands)
"!" Barrett's inquisitive stare is now replaced by a mixed expression of anger, shock, and fear. His chest produces a sinking feeling upon being asked by the defense of his true identity. Tobi has just dropped a major bombshell that leaves everyone aghast!
"T-tobi, you're gonna get us all killed!!!" Joanna screeches in exasperation. The ragdoll co-counsel is now sweaty and nervous. She has no idea where this is going, having been completely blown away by Tobi's sudden inquiry.
Even Roseanne bristles up at the assumption her brother is making; rearing back in shock and puffing up, Roseanne claims, "How can you even say that?! Everybody knows that Mr. Barrett is of American citizenship! What makes you think otherwise?!"
In the audience, both Kyden and Jonas both have blank white-eyed, open-mouthed expressions upon hearing the black / white Maine Coon question the prosecution's nationality. Neither the goat nor the wolf could wrap their heads around it.
"What is he thinking?!" Jonas bleated in terror, "is he trying to kill us all?!"
"This isn't good! How does he know about citizenship anyway?" Kyden claims also, "He's treading on thin ice here! One wrong move and that cat over there will be declared Guilty!" He points at Roseanne for emphasis.
The anime scene returns to view Tobi leaning on the desk only slightly, determined to follow through on his point. But through the uproar inside the courtroom, it is hard to concentrate with so many voices overlapping at once. So things will have to quiet down.
The doberman judge slams his gavel down thrice while declaring, "Order!!! Order in the court!!!" His annoyed expression is replaced with complete disbelief upon hearing the black / white speak; he trails his aquamarine eyes over to Tobi, declaring, "Mr. Blackburn, explain yourself at once! What gives you the right to question the prosecution that way??!!"
"Your Honor, think back to the testimonies of two earlier witnesses; their statements each hold information that will definitely prove Mr. Barrett's fraudulence." Tobi started, meeting the Judge's stare with his own.
Even Joanna grows surprised. She cuts in, "I remember! Mr. De Moyne stated he didn't know the prosecutor but he was given an incentive to represent him at a meeting!" The ragdoll then taps Tobi on the shoulder and, with a shocked gaze, she whispers, "Tobi, if you know what you're doing, then go for it."
The black / white feline nods to Joanna and returns his attention back to the Judge, the prosecution, and the audience. He mentions, "Apart from the witness testimonies, there is also some incriminating evidence that will prove Barrett's guilt. After all, what reason would a police chief have to chase a defense attorney out of the station or the records room for that matter?"
"OBJECTION!"
Now the Arctic Wolf is enraged and angry, his face red with fire. He dismisses the defense's accusation as mere foul play. He screams, "Judge!!! Penalize this rodent!!! This is blasphemy!!!"
Before anyone can react to this statement, the defense returns back in overtaking the situation.
"OBJECTION!"
After giving an objection to the command, Tobi returns, "Penalize me for what? Calling you a coward?" This time, the Maine Coon forcefully objects, pointing directly at the wolf prosecutor across from him and Joanna. "After all, cowards don't run! Real people face their fears head-on! You're a respected police commissioner and prosecutor, aren't you?! Then prove it and get on with it already!" Reaching into a compartment, he declares, "Prove it using this piece of evidence you were trying to kill my sister over!!!"
Obtaining a Manila colored folder, Tobi hurls it directly at the prosecution, almost begging them to take it, "Raahh!!!'
"TAKE THAT!"
*SMACK!*
The manilla envelope plainly smacks the prosecutor on the face. Grabbing the folder, he unpins the staple and begins to pull out the file slowly. He only manages to pull our the papers halfway before releasing a fearful scream in terror. "This is the- the- how did you--?"
"All of the evidence is in these files gathered from the police database; among these are a couple of voice files that will also prove him a fraud." Tobi mentions in passing. He glares directly at the arctic wolf before him when the courtroom goes into an uproar, loud cries coming from the audience.
While Jonas covers his ears from the chatter, Kyden is left speechless from the defense attorney and his added accusation. He grabs Jonas' arms and removes them from his ears; the wolf gets up and begins leaving the room, dragging the goat with him by the wrist. Though Kyden now has a lot to tell, he couldn't do so due to a loud environment so he leads Jonas outside the courtroom where they can converse freely.
Just then, the judge slams his gavel down to quiet the courtroom again, declaring, "Order in the court!!! Silence, all of you!!!" Then the dog gives the prosecution an astonished glare, stammering in disbelief, "Chief Barrett, is it true that you are not--?"
"SILENCE!"
Not only does the prosecutor scream out to silence the chattering crowd, but he also cuts off the judge in red rage, stammering, "N-no! That's not it! I… I am… Grrr…" Then the arctic wolf attempts to sneak a passing request out of the way, turning subtle. "I want an officer over here now to detain these lowlifes. Any officers available?"
"OBJECTION!"
Tobi objects right back to the prosecutor, lowering his hand after his forceful interjection. He plainly shakes his head while implying, "You're clearly forgetting something; all cops that look up to you will be thoroughly disappointed, most of them if not all. And since you've been here, some of them don't trust you one bit."
The arctic wolf snarls back at the feline in pure rage, "You little sneak! I will skin you alive for this!!!"
"Are you?" Tobi challenged back while pointing forcefully at the prosecutor in return. He then crosses his arms, turning his glare into a smirk while adding, "It looks like a few of the audience members in the jury are more interested in you than me.
"Gggrrrraaaaggghhhhh!!!" The wolf snarls in return, being overtaken once again. "This cannot be!!! I will not be defeated by some sick, puny runt of a lawyer!!!" He takes the manilla folder and chucks it towards the defendant in pure anger. Unfortunately, this seals his fate.
Roseanne manages to catch the manilla folder while staring at the prosecution with a heated, venomous glare. Her face is completely red with her eyes blank and white. She points to the arctic wolf, proclaiming, "You just made the dumbest mistake of all! The moment I start reading the names from this folder, you'll wish you'd have kept this folder!"
Immediately the prosecutor screams out, "NOOOOOOO! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOO!!!!" If Roseanne pulls those papers from that folder, he knows he is done for. The courtroom goes into an uproar again when the Judge slams his gavel down to quiet the crowd.
"Order, I say!!! Everyone, quiet down now!!!" The judge grows shell-shocked afterwards and turns his attention to Barrett, finally understanding the defense's suspicions. He asserts, "Mr. Barrett, I would like to see evidence that shows your line of work. If you can dismiss these allegations the defense is making about you, then I too, am intrigued on what you have to say for this matter."
Even Joanna and Roseanne agree with the judge. The judge demanded proof from Barrett to show his past line of work. But it wasn't because the doberman didn't believe the defense; oh no, Tobi's suspicions made even the judge suspicious about the arctic wolf and now the dog himself seeked answers from Barrett. Only problem is, Barrett had no proof and he now found himself backed into a corner.
Desperate to escape his situation, Barrett turns to the audience and bellows, "ONE OF YOU, COME DOWN AND HELP ME NOW!!!"
Seeing this, Tobi taunts, "Seriously, you're turning to the jury for assistance? You're dumber than I thought. You have no proof to show your work habits so where does that leave then, hmm?" Another close-up of his furry face takes place with him pointing to the arctic wolf and declaring, "You're a complete fraud!!!"
The judge gives an angry glare to the wolf prosecutor. Upon setting his aquamarine sights on him, he declares, "Guards, Bailiff, arrest Mr. Barrett immediately!!!"
"This isn't the end! All of you will pay!!!" Immediately, the prosecutor abandons his post and flees the courtroom with at least five other furs chasing him to capture him. Little did anyone know that this situation will turn more intense.
Jonas sat outside the lobby, shaking in complete fear. Kyden filled him in on what was going on, how the defense accused the prosecution of fraud, the evidence that was presented, and the allegations made. Though Kyden was blown away by the proceedings and the events, Jonas was fearful; he wondered if the prosecutor was actually a criminal in disguise!
While the young goat is waiting for his friend to return, he's left alone while considering the information he's been filled in on. He keeps his eyes to the ground while sitting in one of the chairs outside. But despite his brooding expression, the goat had some kind of idea about what's really going on. The only problem is, it is literally coming to him.
A loud commotion approaches, which catches Jonas' attention and makes him fearful, "Huh? Wh-what's going on now?"
The doors leading to the courtroom burst open to reveal the fleeing prosecutor; desperate to escape, the false prosecutor attempts to find a bargain to force his pursuers off of him when he sets his sights on the goat!
"Ggggggrrrrrrrrr…!!!" Barrett gives the goat a devilish grin, having set his eyes on him. The wolf begins chuckling maniacally while advancing further towards Jonas. But when he hears the commotion behind him, he immediately seized hold of the goat, intending to use him as a human shield.
"Ggwwwaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!" Jonas screams in terror from Barrett's frighteningly strong grip. But then things get worse upon notice of the guards that were sent to arrest him. And once they make their way onto the scene, they are met with a hostage situation.
An anime cutscene displays a tense standoff between the two sides. The guards have their weapons trained on the Arctic Wolf but with his grip on Jonas, he threatens, "Back off or the goat gets it!!!"
One of the guards calls out, "Just surrender peacefully and let him go; he has nothing to do with this!" He's referring to Jonas, who is an innocent bystander having been caught in the situation at the wrong time. But things get worse when Barrett backs up towards the front entrance, turning around to bolt while dragging Jonas with him.
Four of the guards give chase with their weapons secured to their inventories. Two of them stay behind, having an idea of who was with the young goat. At that moment, Kyden reappears, rushing back into the lobby when he notices the two guards. Growing worried, the brown wolf inquires, "W-where's Jonas? He's supposed to be here! I told him to wait while I was gone!"
One of them gives the brown wolf an apologetic stare while shaking his head. He replies, "Your friend has been kidnapped by the prosecution. He's on the run at the moment."
"WWWWHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT?????!!!!" Not only is Kyden aghast with terror at learning that his best friend has been kidnapped but he's now furious upon learning who snatched him. Clenching his fists in determination, Kyden points to the door while the other two guards move to action, "WELL DON'T JUST STAND THERE, LET'S SAVE HIM! THAT IS MY BESTIE!!!"
(BGM: Bending Light (Extended) - Trevor Morris & Ekstrak)
The anime scene then changes to a police pursuit in progress with at least 4 different vehicles flying by in the background.
:Attention all units, officers are in pursuit of a code 6 party aggressively fleeing police. Suspect has been declared 'Most Wanted' with many charges on his rap sheet. Suspect was last seen fleeing the scene of a kidnapping at the Lakeside Courthouse; he is considered armed and dangerous and currently has a hostage. Everyone, exercise caution while apprehending. Suspect vehicle is a brown Bugatti Veyron.:
There are three police vehicles in pursuit of the Veyron: Koenigsegg Agera, Koenigsegg CCX, Gumpert Apollo S. These are the initial vehicles chasing the suspect, but with the condition the pursuit is in, more units will be joining the chase very soon; even the tactics are up to the max.
:DISPATCH, GIVE US EVERYTHING YOU GOT OVER HERE!!! WE ARE AT CONDITION 10!!! I REPEAT, CONDITION 10!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!! CONDITION 10!!!:
The pursuit heads eastbound along Lakeside Avenue, heading away from the courthouse. Everyone was pitching in to stop the fiend from escaping with the young goat because not only is the prosecutor a fake like the defense has proven, but there is a darker secret that will be revealed later on. Only problem is that the arctic wolf is an aggressive, reckless driver who will stop for nothing; he is willing to smash anyone out of the way to make his escape.
:All units, heads up! This guy is an extreme flight risk and will use his vehicle to physically engage. Let's not waste any time; take him out now!:
At the same time, another call comes out for a heads-up…
:This is 38-9; we've blocked off the road up ahead. Watch your speed.:
The scene pauses in the midst of the action, switching to a top-down view of the Bugatti Veyron. A brown flame icon appears and crackling noises sound in the background with the flames drawing away from the chase, shooting about half a mile ahead to stop at a roadblock. From left to right: Nissan 370Z, Ford Shelby GT500, Mercedes SLS AMG. Once the roadblock is shown, the brown flames shoot back to the pursuit and time resumes in normal real-time.
Moments into the chase, the Apollo S attempts an overtake on the fleeing Veyron, attempting to get in front. However, Barrett presses down on the accelerator, charging towards the Special Response hypercar and punching it in the rear.
*THUD!*
:Standby… he just hit my car.:
Blasting down the road at high speed, the roadblock is fast approaching. Yet the police attempt to crack down on their target; the Special Response Agera punches the Veyron from behind with Barrett and Jonas reeling from the collision. The fleeing prosecutor swerves hard to avoid another hit, watching the Agera pass them.
:I got a window here to spin him; I'm going for it.:
"Wwwwaaaaahhhhhhh!!!" Once the Special Response CCX moves in, the police car begins charging the Veyron from the rear in an attempt to push it off the road. However, the brake lights to the Veyron come on and the hypercar slows down, giving Barrett the opportunity to regain control with the CCX passing him. In an act of spiteful revenge, Barrett unleashes a Shockwave attack to shove the three police cars forward, right into the police roadblock...
*BLAM!*
The trio of police cars end up plowing into the roadblock, causing each one to crash and rollover.
*STATIC!*
:Unit down! Unit down! Requesting wrecker and E.M.S:
While Barrett shoots along, plowing one of the crashed police cars away, a distress call is picked up.
:Dispatch! Dispatch! I got multiple cars down in a pile-up! Get emergency crews to my 20! That's multiple units down!:
Immediately, Barrett slows down to cut his speed, causing the hydraulic rear winglet to raise up under the hard braking. He notices a McLaren F1 Special Response car about 3 car lengths ahead, turning around to join the pursuit.
:This is Unit 824, I'm with the suspect now. Show me Code 3 with the-- *BAM!*:
:10-36! Suspect just smashed into the rear of my unit!:
Incidentally, a Porsche 911 GT2 RS Speed Enforcement unit appears from the right to overtake but the suspect also slams into the police vehicle from the side, shoving it away with an ESF.
*BAM!*
:He just slammed into me!! This guy's crazy!!!:
Jonas could do nothing but just sit in silent horror while shaking in fear. Not only is this arctic wolf a menacingly powerful wolf, but his driving style is aggressive and reckless. The Bugatti Veyron he is driving is a clear sign of his driving ability and he is taking it out on the police. The goat wanted to scream out loud in terror, yet he fears the wolf's reaction. He's already been kidnapped and taken hostage in a situation he has no control over; why make it worse. He couldn't contact Kyden because of how close he is to the evil prosecutor. All it takes is a simple dial tone for him to glance over to the goat, rendering the call completely useless.
:Heads-up guys, this is 648-9! We got spikes on the left!:
The anime scene switches to a bright red Ferrari 599 GTO hurtling down the road with Kyden riding shotgun and a gray furred Timber Wolf behind the wheel, both occupied with catching up to the Veyron. The brown wolf is not only furious, but also worried about Jonas' safety. But having to catch up to the fleeing hypercar is challenging, considering that the Veyron is much faster than the 599; chances are it is more durable and heavier too.
"Come on! Step on it! We're losing him!" Kyden is growing impatient to the point of snapping. He demands that the driver speed up, yet the Timber Wolf remarks, "These twists and turns help a bit but-- whoa…"
"Oh my gosh!" Kyden and the driver take notice of the destroyed roadblock once they pass by. Most of the cops had managed to exit their way out of the crashed police vehicles while assisting the others that were involved. This fueled their motivation even further to catch the wicked arctic wolf.
"I hope they're alright." Kyden comments while feeling the acceleration effects from the 599 GTO. "I never knew this guy was that aggressive! All the more so for him to be captured!"
:Roadblock uh, didn't work! Let's get back on him!:
"Dammit!" The Timber Wolf driver growls out in frustration. "Even if we tried going at top speed, we'd still be unable to catch up… unless…"
"Unless?" Kyden shoots him an uneasy, blue-eyed glance upon wondering just what this driver had in mind regarding the runaway suspect. But more police chatter soon derails their thought process.
:Suspect's attempting to run me off the road! He's-- argh!!!:
:This is 213-9! We got those spikes waiting for him on the left! CORRECTION, CORRECTION, your right! Stay left!:
Attempting to make light humor of the situation, Kyden fails to hold in a laugh upon commenting further, "Even the local cops can't keep their heads on straight!" He then turns thoughtful and asks further, "By the way, do you know who funds the government for these types of vehicles?"
The wolf driver sighs in return, "I don't know but this guy is going to have a massive bill to pay."
The anime scene then focuses on a new police roadblock that is ahead of the pursuit. From left to right: Porsche Cayman S, Jaguar XKR, Aston Martin DBS, spike strip. The scene then zooms back to the pursuit at hand showing a now lightly damaged Veyron along with multiple police cars in pursuit. The scene resumes in normal real-time.
:Dispatch, add more units to that backup request! Driver's giving us a lot of trouble!:
:Roger that, Unit 824. Units have been detailed and are en route.:
:Okay, get out of my way! I'm gonna spin him!:
A Special Response Bugatti Veyron Super Sport punches the brown hypercar in the rear, forcing Barrett to swerve hard to avoid another attack. The Super Sport, however, slows down and begins to ram the brown bumper in an attempt to send the suspect off the road. Unfortunately, Barrett applies the brakes again while countersteering, causing the Super Sport to pass him. In another act of revenge, Barrett activates an ESF and punches the Super Sport in the rear, forcing it forward and causing the lights on the police car to flicker.
*BAM!*
:10-36! Suspect has rammed us! Repeat, suspect has rammed us!:
With the damaged Super Sport in front, two more police cars, a Bugatti Veyron 16:4 and a Koenigsegg CCXR Edition, move in to box the perp in while approaching the roadblock. The arctic wolf then unleashes a Shockwave attack, cutting his speed afterwards to watch the resulting chaos.
*BLAM!*
:MVA! MVA! He just hit me!:
After the Special Response Super Sport is punched in the back, the police car ends up smashing into the Highway Patrol Jaguar XKR and the Rapid Deployment Aston Martin DBS, causing severe damage to all three vehicles. Both of the roadblock vehicles end up spinning and sliding out of control while the Super Sport ends up lifting into the air rear-first before crashing into the wall afterwards upon landing.
*STATIC!*
:We got a unit down! Injuries likely!:
Through the chaos, Barrett maneuvers through the opened gap to pass the roadblock. He also misses the spike strip once again. After this, another distress call is sent out.
:Target did not hit the belt!! Maintain pursuit!!!:
:Yeah, I need emergency services to my location! Make that Code 3 emergency crews; I got multiple units down in a pile-up!:
All Jonas could do is hold on for dear life with his heart sinking in his chest. He's never been so fearful in his life until now! Among the carnage he's been riding past, Barrett's mocking laughter seems to intimidate him the most with the Arctic Wolf declaring, "You pigs are powerless to stop me! All of you are failures!!!"
The pursuit continues along Big Timber Pass when a new entity shows up...
:Eagle-13; on scene. We're in a ho-- we're in a holding pattern above the vehicle. Can you let IC know we're monitoring? And alert all ground units to watch their 20.:
A police helicopter enters the scene of the pursuit, monitoring the chase for now; there are still units in pursuit, though some are moving in to shut the guy down.
:I'm taking this guy out! Everyone back; everyone back now!:
:This is 233-9! stay to the edge as you approach the roadblock; 10-67 in the center lane.:
An EMP lock-on is attempted on the fleeing Veyron while at the same time, another roadblock is called in. The scene pauses once more, changing to a brown flame icon and zooming ahead of the pursuit to display the police roadblock. From left to right: Porsche 911 Targa 4S (997), Audi R8 5.2 FSI Quattro, spike strip, Aston Martin One-77, Bentley Continental Supersports Coupe. The scene then returns back to the pursuit, resuming in normal real-time.
Jonas wasn't looking forward to being zapped by the EMP, but if anything, he'd rather accept that than being forced to ride shotgun with an evil prosecutor. Unfortunately, Barrett isn't settling for it either, and he slams on his brakes to drop his speed while also activating an ESF in hopes of countering the incoming police EMP.
:Suspect is leaving himself wide open in front. Overtaking for a block.:
The suspect finds a shortcut and pulls onto the trail to avoid the police and the incoming EMP. The targeting reticle turns white while Barrett rockets down the shortcut. At the same time, the screaming buzzing of a 6.0L V12 engine is heard. Prior to rocketing out of the shortcut, a Speed Enforcement Pagani Zonda Cinque is ahead. Barrett targets the police car with an EMP while maintaining his speed. However, he lets other units converge on his location and begins attacking at the same time.
:This is 592! We're gonna force him to the curb.:
A Rapid Deployment Porsche Panamera Turbo moves in from the left and a Speed Enforcement Porsche 911 GT2 RS moves in from the right. While Barrett slams the Panamera from the right, the duration to the EMP runs out, guaranteeing a successful lock-on.
:DISPATCH, SUSPECT'S TRYING TO RUN ME OFF THE ROAD!!!:
A brief cutscene zooms in on the Pagani Zonda Cinque and seconds later, the Speed Enforcement car is lit up in a bright blue flash from the EMP!
*BOOM!*
The result is a distorted police siren and flickering lights, yet the police car keeps right on going, even with a Tier 5 suspect vehicle on its bumper. The damage is further increased when Barrett punches the Pagani in the rear end with an ESF, forcing it forward.
*BANG!*
:10-36! He's trying to push through!:
At the same time, the suspect slows down upon nearing the roadblock, and like last time, he unleashes a Shockwave to send the police cars around him sprawling out of the way.
*BLAM!*
:Police MVA, I'm hurt. He's really going for it.:
The carnage intensifies in a flash once again. As a result of the powerful Shockwave, the Panamera slams into the rear of the 911 Targa 4s while the Pagani ends up hitting the spikes. Even the 911 GT2 ends up smashing into the R8 5.2 FSI Quattro. The only roadblock vehicles that aren't affected are the Aston Martin One-77 and the Bentley Continental Supersports Coupe. The other two are trashed.
*STATIC!*
:10-25, 10-25! Requesting EMS!:
In the midst of the chaos, Barrett loses momentum after tapping the R8 police car and he himself ends up rolling over the strip, losing his right rear wheel in the process.
:Suspect's on his rims! Let's move in!:
No matter! One wheel isn't much of a loss to the suspect, but losing any wheel from a spike strip means less handling capabilities. At the same time, another distress call is sent out, just as two more police cars begin to converge.
:We got a major wreck here! Code 3 emergency crews!:
From the right, a Rapid Deployment Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake smacks the brown Veyron with an ESF, forcibly shoving the hypercar away; the jolt sends both occupants screaming out of control. The lights to the hypercar flicker only briefly, but Barrett manages to regain control and fight back, using an ESF of his own to force the blue police car away.
*BAM!*
:10-36! Suspect just hit me in the side!!!
:We are clear for 10-67! Releasing spikes!:
The police helicopter zooms ahead in the air, proceeding to send spike strips skydiving down to the ground ahead of the pursuit. At the same time, Barrett engages the blue Super Snake police car again, ramming it from the side again.
:Suspect's trying to force me over! Standby!:
*BLAM!*
:MVA! MVA! I've been hit!:
A follow-up with a Shockwave doesn't help matters for the cops either, yet the suspect is so occupied with the police, he isn't paying attention until he is right on top of a helicopter spike strip until he veers away, losing another wheel in the process.
:Ho-ho! He's on his rims now!:
:I'm taking this guy out! Get back! Get back now!:
*BLAM!*
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" The two occupants scream again from being hit with a powerful Shock Ram. Only this time, it literally kills the 8.0L Quad-Turbocharged W12 of the brown Bugatti Veyron. The culprit behind this is a Special Response Koenigsegg CCXR Edition, and this new attack sends the Veyron twirling to a complete halt. Smoke begins to rise from the engine bay as the police move in to converge on the disabled hypercar.
Immediately, Jonas scrambles to exit the Veyron, running for dear life when his ears fly up to the sound of a V12 approaching, causing him to stop and listen. The goat desperately surveys the scene while listening in, happening to spot a bright red Ferrari 599 GTO emerge from a shortcut and spin to a halt.
Jonas freezes in terror but at the same time, a commotion is heard behind him as the wolf prosecutor is being arrested by the cops. Once the doors to the Ferrari 599 GTO open, a familiar figure emerges and rushes to the fearful goat. At the same time, a familiar voice snaps Jonas out of his freak out. "Jonas…?"
The young goat blinks in recognition of the voice, perking up to the voice. "...Kyden???"
Overjoyed at seeing the goat, Kyden leaves the 599 GTO, rushing to meet his friend. "JONAS!!!"
Jonas views a brown wolf running to meet him and he grows astonished at seeing who it is. He too rushes to meet the wolf, "KYDEN!!!"
The two friends meet and tackle each other in a hug while laughing together, overjoyed at seeing and being reunited with each other once again. The harrowing pursuit is over with the evil arctic wolf arrested, but not without damages to pay. Once the situation is over, the cops report a successful arrest.
:We're Code 4 here. Suspect is in custody.:
With everything now under control, the scene cuts back to the courtroom now with Jonas and Kyden seated in the audience to watch the verdict be handed down. Even the judge himself is recovering after these events, but he's recovered enough to compose himself and perform his job.
"My word! This has been one crazy day! From accusations to a high-Speed hostage situation! I have never witnessed anything of this sort before!" The judge inclines his head to make out Jonas and Kyden in the audience, giving the two a smile and an acknowledging nod while adding, "but I am happy that everyone is safe."
The judge does a double take with his aquamarine eyes widening in astonished surprise. He directs his attention to the defense next, mentioning, "Mr. Blackburn, Your sister handed me that police database and I did some research on it. You were right! That prosecutor is actually a most wanted criminal from Canada! No wonder you were so suspicious! I applaud you for your bravery and heroism!"
Seeing the Judge's warm smile with his commendation makes Tobi blush. The Maine Coon himself admits, "It's nothing really. I had my suspicions and they proved true!"
The doberman's warm smile remains while he gives another acknowledging nod to the defense in return. Then with an excited smile, he declares, "Time for the verdict!" In hushed, suspenseful silence, the Judge declares, "On the charges of evidence tampering and theft, I find the defendant, Ms. Roseanne McCarthy…"
"NOT GUILTY"
"...NOT GUILTY!!!" Raising his gavel up in excited fervor, the doberman judge hands down his verdict to the Norwegian Forest Cat, declaring her innocent!
(BGM: Win Theme #6 - The Need For Speed OST)
With the judge having rendered this verdict, cheers erupt from the audience with confetti raining from above. Roseanne appears relieved to have been declared innocent while Joanna is spinning around in circular excitement. Tobi appears happy that his sister is declared not guilty and he gives the forest cat a thumbs-up with Roseanne returning the gesture. Even Kyden and Jonas were hugging each other in the audience, elated at the verdict.
"With that being said, court is adjourned!!!" The judge slams his gavel down in satisfaction, having declared an innocent party not guilty and ending the trial.
Kyden belongs to SillyMisfit; Jonas belongs to PeanutButterPup. Florentino Vagaday, Tobi Blackburn, Joanna Sweeney, Roseanne McCarthy, and Anthony Le Moyne all belong to me!
This is my first commission with a legal drama scene! Also, bonus points to those who can guess which two racing games the police dialogue is from.
