==Chapter Thirty-Four: Lethal Trackdown==
Rose and Kyle were in Rose's pink Corvette driving along the road to Metropolis.
"Just be careful, okay?" Thorn instructed Kyle on the phone.
"Of course." Kyle told her.
"Are you ready?" Rose asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Kyle said.
"So you're saying Kyle's little brother almost killed us?!" Honey exclaimed.
"I don't think he meant to." Thorn said. "He's working with some bounty hunters."
"That still doesn't explain why he would destroy the mother computer." Quartz said.
"Why don't we head to Casinopolis?" Zoe suggested.
"I hear that's where most bounty hunters hang out." she said.
"Alright, let's go." Honey said.
"You coming, Thorn?" Quartz asked.
"Sorry, I promised I'd help Cocoa and Daisy." Thorn replied.
Honey, Quartz, and Zoe drove off in a black SUV.
Rose and Kyle drove into Metropolis.
It was Doctor Eggman's old, ruined city. Metropolis had once been a powerful base, but was now a ghostly city with metal materials barely salvageable. 
"You sure they're here?" Kyle asked.
"This is where the tracer says." Rose replied.
"Come on, this way." she instructed.
Teala, Whiskers, and Chester were in a place once known as "the Hazard Vault".
"This has gone too far." Chester said. "All I wanted was to kill the man who let my mother die."
"Kid, you signed up for this." Whiskers said.
"I...I know." Chester said.
"Then quit whining and let's finish the job." Teala barked.
"I'm gonna go for some air." Chester said.
When he walked outside, Teala went to an intact computer.
"Samurai wanted us to get information from...Doctor Eggman's...database." Teala said.
"So you're saying this kid was..." Whiskers began.
"That's exactly what I'm saying." Teala replied.
Honey, Quartz, and Zoe walked into Casinopolis.
"What should we do?" Honey asked.
"It's not like we can just ask around." Quartz said.
"Let's look around. Eavesdrop or something, see if we can hear anything about Teala and Whiskers. We'll meet up at the entrance." Zoe said.
"Alright." Quartz and Honey agreed.
Honey walked upstairs on the balcony overlooking the casino. A female hedgehog and male armadillo were sitting at a table. Honey walked near them, pretending to check her cell phone.
"Yeah, Teala's working on a big job for some secret guy." the female hedgehog said.
"Really? Whiskers too?" the male armadillo asked.
"Uh huh." the hedgehog said.
"Looks like they formed a team after Nack and Bean and Bark got caught." the armadillo said.
"Looks like it..." she said. "Looks like we've got an eavesdropper too."
The armadillo turned around. The hedgehog pulled out two knives. Honey pulled out a knife from her pocket.
"Didn't your mother teach you not to listen to things you shouldn't hear, missy?" the armadillo asked, drawing a gun.
Quartz ran up the stairs and tackled the armadillo.
"Woah-woah!" the hedgehog said. "We don't want no trouble."
"Oh really?" Zoe asked from behind her.
"Because it looks like you were just about to hurt my friend." she said, running in front of her. Zoe kicked the knives out of her hands.
"Who are you guys?" Quartz asked, restraining the armadillo.
"I'm Shay." the hedgehog said. "This is Mikey."
"What do you know about Whiskers and Teala?" Zoe asked.
"Teala said somethin' about getting a big score. Takin' the fight to G.U.N., killin' a commanding officer." Shay said.
"That's all I know, I swear!" Shay said.
"Fine, we'll let you go." Zoe said.
Quartz, Honey, and Zoe ran out of the casino.
Shay called someone on her phone.
"We've got a problem." she said.
Rose and Kyle arrived at the Hazard Vault.
"The tracer says they're somewhere around here." Rose said.
"The helicoptor's up there, on that radio tower." Kyle spotted a metallic tower near the Hazard Vault.
"I don't think that's a radio tower..." Rose replied.
"Let's go." Kyle said.
They drew their guns, and kicked the door open.
Teala was sitting down at a table in the middle of the room.
"Hello. Chester told me you would try to find him." Teala said to Kyle.
"And I remember you, Rose."
"You tried to kill me." Rose said.
"Sorry honey, but it was a contract." Teala replied.
"Where's Chester?" Kyle asked.
In reply, a chorus of gun shots came from behind them as Teala flipped over the table.
"Get down!" Kyle yelled.
He and Rose jumped and rolled behind a ruined wall of metal.
Teala ran out the door.
"I've got her!" Rose yelled.
She ran after her, narrowly avoiding the gun shots.
"Chester!" Kyle yelled.
"Whiskers,stop firing." Chester told him.
"You got this?" he asked.
"Yeah, why?" Chester asked.
"Cause I'm out of here. This job's gotten too crazy. I was fine with killing random nobodies, but I don't want the entire G.U.N. force up all on me!" Whiskers explained.
"Coward!" Chester cried.
"Sorry kid. But I don't think you wanted this either." Whiskers said.
He ran out of the Hazard Vault.
Chester walked out into the open.
"Kyle?" he called.
"Chester!" Kyle exclaimed.
He ran out to his brother.
"Don't." Chester said.
"Wha...what?" Kyle asked.
"I chose this." Chester said. "I wanted to be this way. I wanted to learn how to mercilessly kill in order to take revenge on the man who let my mother die."
"He did everything he could, Chester." Kyle said.
"Please, stop this." Kyle begged.
"I'm giving myself up..." Chester said. "But I'm not sure about Teala. Whiskers just wants out."
"Chester..." Kyle said.
Teala ran up to the metal tower. She began to climb it, eager to escape on the helicoptor.
Rose was right behind her.
Teala ran to the top of the tower where the helicoptor was.
Rose arrived at the top as Teala was about to get onto the helicoptor.
She shot at Teala, driving her away from the helicoptor and towards a broken rail.
"Surrender." Rose commanded, pointing her gun at Teala.
"Never!" Teala cried.
She lunged at Rose, knocking the gun out of her hands and over the edge.
Teala had Rose pinned down, and began to choke her. Rose kicked Teala off, and Teala  rolled over near the ledge.
Teala stumbled, slipping off the edge.
"Teala!" Rose cried.
Teala had managed to grasp a part of the ledge.
"Help me, please!" Teala begged.
Rose extended her arm, and Teala grabbed it. She began to pull herself upward, while simultaneously pulling Rose down.
Rose's eyes widened in realization. Suddenly, her eyes turned a darker shade of green.
Teala's face turned into a look of fear.
Rose smirked at her. 
She let go of Teala's hand.
Teala plummeted down into darkness, screaming in terror.
Rose walked down from the tower, meeting Kyle and Chester.
"What happened to Teala?" Chester asked.
"She fell." Rose replied.
"What about Whiskers?" Rose asked.
Kyle pointed to the helicoptor flying away. Whiskers had gotten on it while Rose and Teala were fighting.
"Let's get back to the Fortress..." Kyle said.
When they returned, Commander Tower, Duke the Hedgehog, and a squad of soldiers awaited them.
"Son, you have cause a large amount of damage to this facility." Commander Tower said.
"I'm sorry for what I did." Chester said.
He looked at Duke.
"But I can never forgive you for letting my mother die." Chester told him.
Kyle looked on, saddened.
Thorn met him. She held his hand.
Cocoa returned to Omega Squad's quarters. He turned on the TV, eager to sit down and relax after a hard day in the infirmary. Daisy was in the other room changing.
A news report made by Felicity Cat was on.
"Hello, viewers." she said. "I'm about to meet the newly appointed Duke of Soleanna."
Cocoa's eyes widened in recognition.
"Daisy!" Cocoa called.
Daisy came into the room.
She gasped at the young man on the television screen.
"It's Luke." Cocoa said.
Mr. Yako walked into the Hazard Vault. He went to the computer and looked at Doctor Eggman's old database. Electricity surged through Metropolis. The power lines around the metallic tower surged to life.
Mr. Yako grinned as Mephiles the Dark appeared behind him...
