THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS

(Garage) 

Sean breathed, a plan coming to his mind. He readied himself, for his plan is going to be extremely risky. He eyed Frederica, and she got his intentions. He gripped tightly onto his gun bag. 

"EVERYONE, COVER YOUR EARS AND OPEN YOUR MOUTHS!" yelled Sean as he and Frederica transformed into their "true forms", whilst tossing their gun bags into the air, emitting a giant shriek that boomed across the street, instantly puncturing the ear drums of the Team Ion members who were caught by surprise, all of them dropped their guns, covering their ears in pain. Not even the tactical headsets they were wearing are able to protect their ears from the blast. 

Seizing the chance, Xiao Tian started the SUV, storming onto the road, driving off. In the same time, Sean grabbed the beached Frederica with his dragon tail, coiling her up like a python, and soared into the air, flying off. 

"Ahh!" groaned Maia, standing up, feeling her hearing coming back. 

"Suspect on the run, we are in pursuit! Code orange!" yelled Richard into his radio, notifying that a "true form" is on the loose, rallying his men up to pursue. 

In the air, Frederica reverted, holding on tightly onto Sean's dragon horns as she rode on his neck. 

Sean scanned the streets below, looking for the route towards the safehouse. 

Suddenly, a few ice picks flew out, stabbing into Sean's dragon body. He shrieked in pain, turning around to see a white, monstrous entity behind him. 

The creature is consisted of 3 pairs of giant white wings fused together at a giant eye, one pair sprouting out upwards, another pair sprouting out parallel in the centre, and a final pair sprouting out downwards. 2 leg like appendages are extended from the base of the giant eye that doubles as a body, allowing the creature to stand on the ground. Along his 6 wings are countless smaller, eyes, each the size of a person, forming patterns akin to spots on butterfly wings.

"An Angel," recognised Sean, seeing the Sellardraxain subspecies' "true form". 

The Angel crashed into him, and the 2 ended up crashing into a mall, smashing through multiple thick layers of concrete into a clothes shop. Sean opened his mouth, spitting out the 2 gun bags that landed onto the floor. Frederica quickly hopped off his neck, grabbing the bags and running away to avoid the destruction, whilst also shoplifting some clothes to cover herself up. 

Sean roared, channeling Cosmic Energy into an energy eruption that resembled a giant cloud of Chinese ink. The black swirl of energy blasted the Angel back, smashing him into the adjacent shop, landing in a vat of chocolate syrup. 

The Angel shook off the sticky chocolate on its white wings, shooting out blue orbs of electricity from his 6 wings in retaliation. 

Sean dodged the blasts, closing distance, only for the Angel to slam him with one strong swoop of its giant wings, slamming him down. It then focused its giant eye on Sean, using his mind powers to create illusions in Sean's vision. 

"F***!" cursed Sean, seeing 10 Angels now. He knows that it's an illusion, but he has no way of knowing which one is real. All 10 Angels charged at him with breakneck speed, the Angel hiding himself among his 9 illusions, ambushing Sean with precise electric attacks. 

Sean roared, breathing out flames that torched the entire shop, trying to use AOE attacks to hit the Angel. The Angel effortlessly dodged the blows. 

Suddenly, the Angel felt a tickling sensation, his eyes on his wings turned around to see Frederica firing at him with her SIG MCX. He is baffled, for the damage of the bullets is close to non-existent in his "true form". 

Just then, he saw Sean charging straight at him, jaws wide open, revealing the sharp shiny fangs. He realised to his horror that Frederica was telling Sean which one of the 10 is real, breaking his illusion. 

Sean roared, chomping down on the Angel, blood spurting out from the fresh wounds he bit open. The Angel shrieked in pain, struggling ferociously to free itself out of Sean's bite as he rammed them out of the mall and back onto the street, crashing into several parked vehicles among the screams of terrified civilians, seeing a monstrous white eye with wings fighting ferociously with a turquoise and black Eastern Dragon. 

The Angel broke free from Sean by smashing a giant block of ice onto Sean's dragon head, his body littered in cuts now. 

The 2 panted, with blood dripping down from their injuries. 

"This Angel is trying to stall me," thought Sean. "While I can beat him, Freddie and I will be screwed once his reinforcements show up." 

His eyes darted to a sedan that the driver had abandoned after running off in fear at their battle, the key still plugged in. He eyed Frederica who is rushing over, nudging at the car with his tail, out of sight to the Angel. 

He breathed a huge ball of flames that quickly generated a smoke screen, shielding himself, throwing off the Angel. As he did so, he transformed back into his bipedal form. When a Sellardraxian transforms between the 2 forms, they automatically heal their injuries that were sustained in the previous form. 

"Alright, I have to wait 1 hour for my Cosmic Energy to be replenished to the point of allowing another transformation," thought Sean as he dashed for the sedan. "I hope there isn't anything that will require the durability, powers and strength of my "true form" until then." 

With that in mind, he dashed with all of his strength towards the car. Frederica arrived there at the same time as him, and the 2 boarded.

But just then, the Angel came charging at them, throwing fireballs. Frederica quickly stepped on the accelerator, driving out. Nonetheless, the relentless Angel managed to flip the sedan, crashing it upside down. 

The Angel then got a taste of its own medicine, the impact causing 2 giant container trucks to flip onto its wings, pinning it down. 

"Oww..." mumbled Sean in pain as he and Frederica crawled out of the wreckage. Frederica used telekinesis to turn the sedan upright. Fortunately, except for hideous dents on the top and the trunk, the sedan is still road worthy.

The Angel dropped a bag latched on one of his leg like appendages, and reverted back to free himself from the trucks, and Sean is surprised to see a familiar German Angel. 

"Karl?" he exclaimed. 

"How about you quit running, traitor?" asked Karl, wearing the clothes from the bag. 

"Not very impressive, I have to say," joked Sean, eyeing Karl's body as he put on the clothes that Frederica had shoplifted. 

"Well I am sorry, I am not into femboys," mocked Karl, referring to Sean's cute and less masculine appearance. 

The both of them have dressed up now. Karl's eyes darted to Frederica. 

"Since when did Instructor Nanami-san had such a poker face?" mused Karl. 

"That's her twin," replied Sean, putting on his backpack body armour. 

"Ah, Frederica then," said Karl, remembering the names of the Team Zero members in the wanted name list, putting on his backpack body armour. 

"You know, Sean," he said, pulling the chord on the backpack, transforming into body armour form. He drew his combat knife on a sheath attached to the body armour via molle straps, channeling his Cosmic Energy into it. 

"I have always wondered, out of the 2 of us, who is truly the better operator," he grinned, walking forward. 

Sean smiled, pulling the chord on his backpack, pulling out his tactical axe from the transformed body armour. 

"Pleasure's mine," he grinned. 

Karl readied his fighting stance. 

Sean smiled, suddenly throwing a flashbang in his face, disorienting Karl. Seizing the chance, he and Frederica dashed to the sedan, quickly driving off. 

"MOTHERF***ERS!" cursed Karl in German after he recovered, throwing his combat knife angrily in the direction Sean and Frederica sped off to. 

"We are moving now," reported Sean, "on track to the safehouse!" 

"Copy that," replied Nanami in the SUV speeding down the streets of Paris. She looked at the chain collision of UNSSD and French police vehicles behind. "We have shook off the tail!" she said. 

"Didn't know you use to drive bump cars for a living sir," joked Louis, turning to Xiao Tian. 

Xiao Tian chuckled, stepping on the accelerator faster. 

"Phineas, Ariel, how are you 2?" asked Nanami. 

"NOT GOOD!" replied Phineas into his headset, ducking down and pressing his body as tightly onto the hoverbike as possible, dodging the bullets whizzing past him. 

Compared to his comrades who were tailed by the French Police or UNSSD, Phineas and Ariel were extremely unlucky. 

A few Pegasus operators are hot on their tails, having tailed them from the bridge. Unlike the French and UNSSD operators, Pegasus has zero regard for the safety of the French civilians, brazenly opening fire with live ammunition in the streets of Paris. 

Phineas feebly fired back with bis Glock 17 pistol, but the rubber bullets its loaded with is useless against the live rounds, not to mention the huge difference in fire intensity given how it can only fire semi-automatic. 

He does have magazines of live rounds in the cumberband of the covert body armour he is wearing, but he cannot change magazines when both of his hands are needed to control the hoverbike. 

"This way!" yelled Ariel, leading Phineas through the road. 

"ARE YOU NUTS?!" roared Phineas in shock. "WE ARE GOING REVERSE!" 

"WHO GIVE A F*** ABOUT TRAFFIC RULES IN A CAR CHASE!" she retorted, revving up, charging through the gaps of 2 trucks that came speeding towards her, horns blaring. 

In the same moment, a bullet took out one of Phineas' hoverbikes' stabilisers, sending the hoverbike spinning out of control, charging straight at one of the trucks. 

"AHHHH!" Phineas screamed, bracing himself for the incoming head-on collision. 

Suddenly, his body felt lighter, he realised he is floating in the air beside the truck, being pulled over by Ariel using telekinesis. It was in the nick of time, the hoverbike is soon crushed into bits by the truck as the 2 collided. Phineas would have been killed if Ariel had not saved him. 

He is then levitated onto the back seat of the hoverbike. The larger vehicles of Pegasus are forced to stop from being blocked by the traffic, leaving hoverbikes to pursue them. 

"Grab on tight! This is gonna be—HEY! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU TOUCHING?!" she fumed, her face beet red. 

"Sorry," replied Phineas sheepishly, moving his hands. His grip had slipped from the shock. 

"You could have just asked, I would have said yes..." mumbled Ariel under her breath. 

"What?" asked Phineas. 

"I said, load live ammo!" replied Ariel. 

Phineas nodded, reloading his Glock 17, firing back at the Pegasus contractors. One is shot in the head, crashing the hoverbike into the roadside, exploding. 

Ariel accelerated, speeding through the streets of Paris at top speed, not even slowing down to make turns. The people of Paris are stunned to see a red and blue blur going at breakneck speeds through the streets of Paris, miraculously not hitting anything. 

The downside is that Phineas could not aim very well, and soon he exhausted his 2 live ammunition magazines, barely hitting anything. 

"I am out!" he said, keeping his pistol in the holster.

"Take mine!" yelled Ariel. 

"Where?" asked Phineas. 

"Right thigh holster!" she yelled. 

Keeping one hand looped around her waist to prevent himself from being thrown off, Phineas reached for her thigh holster, drawing it out. 

"Magazines?!" asked Phineas. 

"IN MY COVERT BODY ARMOUR FRONT PLATE!" she yelled, swerving hardly on a left turn. 

Phineas then grabbed a magazine, loading Ariel's CZ P07, returning fire. 

Ariel looked at the GPS, delighted to find that they are almost reaching the car park, where her sports car is parked, allowing them to switch vehicles and head back to the safehouse undetected.

Charging into an intersection, she did not stop despite the incoming vehicles blaring their horns wildly, slipping through the vehicles coming from the left and right. 

They landed on the other side safely, the Pegasus contractors are not so lucky, getting rammed into bits. 

"OH YEAH BABY!!" exclaimed Ariel excitedly, riding forward without any obstacles now. 

They arrived at the car park. The security footage inside had long be replaced by a video recording by Xu Qing, allowing them to do the swap undetected. 

Ariel took off her biker jacket, turning it inside out and then removing her wig, letting her red hair flow down. 

She covered the hoverbike under a giant piece of blue cloth. She started the sports car that she had bought for the mission. 

"Thank you mom for my allowance," she grinned, kissing the steering wheel, starting the electric motor. 

Phineas strapped in next to her, looking in awe at the internals. 

"You know, when you said leave the car to you, I did not expect this," he muttered. 

Ariel smiled warmly, grabbing a handkerchief and gently wiping off the dirt on Phineas' face. 

"How can I be your wife without giving you treats~" she bemused internally.
