Issue 1:
Ride the Lightning!
Anthropolis Central Train Station
Veritas looked as, like the tip had said, the Auron #21 pulled into the station. A monorail of some sort, from the looks of it.
Perfect.
All of those fancy electronics, all of the reliance on magnetics.
It wouldn't take long for him to...commandeer the vehicle. The problem was getting out...but he had no doubt that he would be able to escape with what he was looking for.
He stepped out of the shadows, his red cloak and hood covering his gleaming bronze armorsuit. The symbol on his chest, a flair he added at the last moment, still shone in the sun on his chest.
He garnered a few odd looks from that, and combined with his goggles, he must've looked incredibly silly.
His grin was fierce as he brushed his paws and tail against random people as he walked toward it, his paws lingering on lampposts and electrical devices. Anyone who touched him would remark soon after that they experienced rather annoying static shocks.
His grin grew wider as he was closer to the Auron.
"Excuse me sir, do you have a ticket?"
Veritas Aatingku looked at the lemur who was at the booth. The red fox grinned a feral grin and said, "Why yes, yes I do. Let me get it for you." Before slamming one of his armored arms into the poor fur and dashing up the steps.
He heard ricochets and clangs from a security guards pistol, hitting his armor, and the door closed in front of him. A simple matter, as he placed his paws on the door, and electricity coursed from the coils in his armor to his clawtips, and the doors slip open with ease.
"Do not be alarmed! This is just a simple hijacking! Nothing to worry about, unless you make me angry. Please, stay in your seats-"
A young fur stood up, an angry expression on his face. Veritas clenched his fist, and electricity coiled around his arm again, this time arcing into the wolf that had stood up, knocking him unconscious.
"...an..and nobody gets hurt."
He sealed the doors and began to make his way to the engine compartment. Time for the hard part.

The Inquisitor
I chose a horrible place for a vacation. There are too many nonhumans here. No matter, I will protect them nonetheless.
Some fool breaks onto a train and attacks a person who wanted to protect the people? That is unacceptable. he must be punished.
I stood up. The red robes and hat look absolutely ridiculous, but whatever. I removed my star from around my neck.
I approached the fox and said, "I bet you never expected me you heathen!"
Right after, I threw the star in a hopes that I hit him. The edges are sharpened to cut through almost anything. If that doesn't work... then I have a problem.

Veritas turned and saw a human in the most ridiculous outfit that he had ever seen. The man shouted at him and threw some kind of object.
Veritas ducked, bringing his left arm up, and the star sliced through the coils, lodging itself in the ceiling.
"You IDIOT!! Who the Hell do you think you are?!"
Not giving him a chance to answer, Veritas charged up his right paw and flung a lightning bolt at the odd human.

Damn I hate this planet sometimes !
After so many, almost impossible to count, years, I was back on this piece of rock, and in the same dimension that time... It was a long and funny story, but I had to stay focus.
Only a few days after my arrival in this largely populated city and I already had a job. I wanted to lay low and relax for awhile, but money is money and I definitely needed some right now...
A suspicious man wanted me to retrieve some documents that a Furre, in the front car had on him. The best way to do it was to wait for the Monorail train to roll, take the documents and *Speed* my way out of the train... The owner would never be able to catch me, if he was still on the train.
I would have smiled, if I wasn't in my Nano-Suit, ''invisible'' on the top of the first monorail cart with the people in it...
As the train was finally begining to start, I heard some loud noises and yelling in the cart below me. I had to protect my interests, in case the one would escape in the panic... so I quickly changed to my *Shield* mode, as I grabbed the border and swung into the closest window.
Bursting from the window, I saw a most unusual spectacle... A human in the most comical and reddest clothes I ever saw and one of those Anthros, most probably a Fox, but I could hardly tell because of all the sparks and bolts surrounding him.
Practical at all time, I said *I go for the highest bidder* with a grin and *The hell is happening ?* as a lightning bolt flew in front of me.

What? Where did-
The next thing Veritas saw was a large black boot that knocked him off of his feet. His hood was thrown back, and his bronzed goggles shined in the light. "Rargh!! I don't have time for this!"
He swung his legs out, to kick the so called 'Inquisitor' in his knees, and then scampered up, rushing to the door. He had to gain control of the monorail, and fast. He pushed everyone out of his way.
"Get out of my way!"
Static sparked around him and floofed his fur as he rushed for the engine compartment.

When I managed to get back up, I ran after him. "Come back you coward! Stand and fight!" Foxes, they are all the same.

I quickly and easily dodged the lightning bolt that was seemingly for the guy in Red... which wasn't here anymore ?
Quick glimpse on my left side... Red give a boot to the face of the Fox, he gives a kick back and run, both of them...
Crazies and Electricity weren't part of the contract ! I would have to get an extra for Hazardous Risks, but I had something else in mind, right now, like the retrieval of the precious documents.
Funny like the guy in the corner was cowering in fear, like he knew I was here for him... Or maybe it was the fighting ? In any cases I took the documents he was holding in his hands *I will take that, thank you !*, my luck, and changed back to *Invisibility*, in order to find out who were those loonies.
I run after them, dodging the passengers and the random bolts... I was curious, what could I say ? ...and maybe I could get some money out of this situation, if I played my cards right...

Veritas was one car away from the control room, and the monorail was moving...but the doors were sealed.
It took him precious minutes as he was trying to pry the doors open.
That damned human was still after him probably...there!
The doors slid open, and he rushed to the control compartment, slamming the conductor out of the way with his momentum.
Dammit...not supposed to be like this....getting tired....
He adjusted the speed so it was well into the redline. If he could only get close to the border...

Pressure had been dozing while the commotion had been going on. By the time he realized there was a ruckus the train was already speeding up.
"Oh dear," he muttered to himself.
He steadily climbed from his seat and went to the next car where the guards had fired their shots. They seemed troubled by the immobile door. Pressure noticed their guns were drawn. Something was a miss.
He quietly went out the back of that car and began to scale the emergency ladder. In short order he was on the roof of the car and making his way forward. By the excessive speed and the shaking of the cars he then knew for certain that the train was in trouble.
"Why do I keep getting myself into these situations?" he grumbled.

I followed the 2 men to their destination, what seemed like the engine room, but because of a door the Fox had closed behind him, Red was delayed just enough for Fox to enter the Engine Room.
What was that ?! The monorail train was seemingly speeding up, but why ? Did the Fox wanted to hijack the train for a ransom ?
With the mister in Red, it would certainly be difficult... and I was wondering, as I followed Red up to the Engine room door, still *Invisible*, if it would pay to side with the Sparky Fox... Job opportunities are everywhere, if we know when to look for them, like I always said.
Yes, I had decided... and I never liked religious people anyways...
I had to find a ''shortcut'' and as I quickly checked on my sides, I saw an emergency exit door in the cart behind me. Quickly, while Red was apparently busy with the Engine door, I forced the exit door open, grabbed the emergency ladder, closed the door... a door opening by itself might attract unwanted attention... and activated my *Shield* mode, as Invisibility served no purpose while exposed to wind and a possible fall.
I intended to go right for the frontal window of the Engine Room, a bold move maybe, but the options were kinda limited for the moment.
When on top of the cart, before the Engine Cart, I started moving for my goal.

The InquisitorI teleported into the control room. The fox increased the speed. That is not good. I grabbed the fox, got a little shock, and threw him into the control room door. It ruined my gloves though. If it wasn't for that, I'd probably be writhing in pain on the ground. As soon as I did, I grabbed the emergency brake and pulled it. Afterward, I turned to the fox. "You must now pay for your crimes!"

The monorail began to scream on the tracks as the emergency brakes tried to compensate for the high speed that was in no way lessening due to the accelerator still pushed at the max.
"You IDIOT!!!"
Veritas lashed out, electricity charging in his right arm as a wild haymaker went at the Inquisitor's head.
"You'll ruin everything!"

Pressure continued to grumble as he carefully made his way forward. At around that point he noticed a figure had appeared on the car in front of his.
"Who the heck is..." he began moments before the train started to shake violently as accelerator and emergency break began to compete for dominance. Pressure fell flat against the top of the train car.
He looked forward and yelled at the new comer, "Hey you! What are you doing?"

The Inquisitor
The haymaker just barely hit me before I teleported to his side. The shock hurt like hell, but I didn't get the full force.
"So what am I ruining? So far as I can tell, you want to get wherever quickly. Rather pathetic if I say so myself."
Again, I kicked at him.
"Also, don't call me an idiot."
