Chapter 1:Get Outta Town
Sean, a large, jet black dog of unkown species, ran as fast as he could, taking alleys, shortcuts, and even swimming to throw the mob of angry dogs off his trail.If I wanted to get chased this much,I woulda been a politician! he thought as he stopped to catch his breath. Then, he had an idea.I've been needin' a vacation for a while now. he thought, and smiled. Then, he raced off towards home, avoiding the mob at every turn.
Sean got home to his large apartment on the west side of New York, and began packing. He told his owner, a small Irish man, to follow his example. "It won't take them that long to figure out where I went,and I don't want to be here when they do!" Sean said,snarling. His owner could understand every word, for some reason that no one had ever figured out, and began packing as well. He was a rich man, so loading took awhile, but, before two hours were up, three vehicles were pulling out of the driveway and speeding away towards the bridge that led west, away from New York and on to San Fransico and a new life.

Oh, almost forgot. Sean is my character, and if I add any more, I'll put it at the beginning of the chapter. The rest are property of MGM. Examples: Charlie, Sasha La Fluer, Itchy, Bess, and Carface, belladonna and killer(if I should choose to use them). If you have a character you want me to use, please feel free to suggest him/her. Thanks.

Chapter 2: Knock knock!
Charlie Barkin woke up, stretched, yawned, and jumped off the bed he'd fallen asleep on." Mornin', Itch!" He called out. He then followed the scent of bacon, sausage and other breakfast items to the kitchen, where the whole gang was already eating.
"Morning, Charlie!" everyone said. "Did you enjoy your date last night?" Itchy asked mischieviously. Charlie's cheeks turned a bright red that said everything. They all burst into laughter, even Charlie. They all sat back down to eat, when there was a sudden knock on the door. Charlie said,"I'll get it." and walked up and opened the door.

Ummm......no offense but the chapter is pretty short Yeah, sorry. I write in short chapters sometimes. I do that when I'm just kind of introducing the characters and getting into the story. Then the long chapters kind of fill themselves in later. |

Chapter 3: What's going on?!
"So....explain to us again why you're here?" Charlie said. They were all sitting around the dining room table. Sean had taken a seat at the end, politely refusing everything they offered him.
"Well, I'm from New York. My owner and I were run out of town by the crime bosses, and my owner feels we should split up for a while, to cover our tracks. I heard that you guys hated crime and thought maybe you could help me. And I cpuld help out around here too. It has never been said that Sean P. Mitigur won't pull his weight." Sean said, his thoughts racing. It hadn't bee n a complete lie, but it wasn't the whole truth, either.
"Interesting story, Sean. Could you excuse us a sec? I need to have a word with my friends." Charlie said, forcing a smile. He pulled everyone over to the corner of the room. " He's obviously a con man, possibly a crimanal. I don't know if we can trust him."
"Charlie, may I remind you of your past?" Sasha said. Charlie shuddered. He hated remembering those days. "But this is different,Sasha. He hasn't experienced what I did."
"If I recall correctly, Charles, no one has." Everyone jumped as Anabelle appeared next to Itchy and Charlie." But that's no reason not to help him. Besides, I get the feeling you'll soon need all the allies you can get." With that, she vanished.
"And a goodbye to you too." Charlie muttered under his breath. He turned back towards the table." Alright, we'll help you, but it won't be cheap."
"As I said earlier, money is no object." Sean said, as he pulled out the money Charlie wanted." Besides, I wouldn't have it any other way." With that, Sean got up and walked out into the cold, rainy, gloomy morning.
"Nice guy, isn't he?" Charlie said as they sat back down to discuss the day.
Meanwhile
So, now there's a new player in the game? No matter. He will die as the rest will. Mwahahahahahaha!" The evil figure,cloaked in his blood red robe, continued to laugh, even as he faded into the darkness of the abandoned building.

Chapter 4: More Help.
Sean walked slowly down the street, appearing deep in thought. Every once in a while, he would stop and glance around, as if looking for something. He suddenly appeared to decide something, because he stopped, looked around one last time, then rushed across the street, entered a phone booth, put in his money, and started dialing. He tapped his foot impatiently as he listened to the dial tone, then a female answered timidly. "H-h-hello?" Sean smiled. "Hello, Libby. How are you?" "Sean?! Where are you? We've been worried sick!" Elizabeth, a.k.a Libby, said, almost crying.
"Don't worry. Everythings fine. I'm in San Fransico. I'm safe, and I was hoping you could get everyone else down here?" Sean said gently. He listened for a few more minutes, then nodded. "Ok, see you then." he said, then hung up. He the continued to walk down the street.
"Everythings almost ready. All I need now is-" but just then, a voice called out,"Sean! There you are! Come on. Its time to head home now." Sean gladly followed his owner home. The rest would have to wait.

Chapter 5:The Comic Cavalery!
Sean paced the station platform relentlessly, every now and then checking the time,as though impatiently waiting for something. At 8:15 AM, he spotted who he'd been waiting for as they climbed off the train.
He jogged over."There you are! I was worried." he said as he helped them with their bags.
Libby, a somewhat medium sized dog with a record for helping Sean, who was her twin brother, said "Don't worry about us, worry about you! Your the one who had to run for his life."
Sean laughed. "Me? In danger? As if! I could vanish if I wanted, completely gone. But you are my friends, and friends stick together!" He shoved the last of their luggage into the back of an indescript black van." Ok,let's go. We might have a bit of trouble,otherwise."
They all climbed into the van, and it speed off, no one even noticing it.
* * *
Charlie and friends had just finished off the day, having taken a 'day off' as they called it, to go out on the town.
When they got back to the old abandoned house they lived in, having outgrown the apartment, they found Annabelle waiting for them. "Charles, we have a problem. Apparantly, Belladonna has form a group to take over the world. All your old enemies have joined, as well as a few you don't know. I don't know how I missed it, but they've amassed an army, and-... Charles, are you ok?" By this time, Charlie had turned ghost white, and collapsed on the floor.
Meanwhile...
"Darn, Annabelle found out. I had better warn Belladona. But this shouldn't derail our plans too much. This time, no one, not even Annabelle, can stop us." The figure inf the blood red cape pulled back his hood, to reveal the head of a cat. He laughed evilly, then turned and jumped off the roof, vanishing into the black of the night.

Chapter 6:A Contract Once Signed....
At 9:00 AM the next morning, after a night of unpleasant preperation, there was a knock at the door. When Charlie answered, he found Sean,Libby,and the rest of the gang there.
"Good morning." Sean and Charlie both said, their tones echoing their feelings. "I'm here to draw up the protection contract." Sean said, as pleasantly as he could.
"Look, I'm sorry, but we have some problems of our own to deal with. We can't help anyone right now." Charlie said, also trying to sound pleasant.
"Maybe we could help each other out, then.'To fight alone is to be strong, but to refuse help when it is offered is stupidity.' So, what do you think?"
Charlie thought for a moment. He knew Sean was right, but how could he help? These were demons, not mortal enemies. Still.... "Alright. But you don't know what your up against."
Charlie lead the others to the former living room, now turned war room, where everyone was beginning to go to 'war' as it were.
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to Day 1 of our war."
"You guys look like you need some weapons. I have those. Just tell me what kind you'll need." Sean said, glancing around.
"We use melee weapons, such as sword, axes, maces..." Charlie said.
"Got it.you want a better and more mobile war room? I can get that,too. Just follow me." He got out a cell phone, dialed a few numbers, talked a little, hung up, and began ealking down the stairs. Curious, the rest followed him.

Anybody think it would be too cheesy to throw in something from real world cops?
