Okay then.

Jack suddenly appeared next to Acid, and Firefox beside Jack. The two of them looked skywards toward the peak of the structure, and then Jack asked, "What's this all about then?"
Acid cocked an eyebrow at the white rabbit. "You mean you haven't heard already? Devan and his cronies are building some kind of office building or some stupid thing like that, and they want to buy the WT's property so they can knock it down!"
Firefox appeared stunned, but not for long. "You've gotta be kidding me."
"Yeah. I'm kidding, and that building there doesn't really exist."
Jack chuckled. "It won't for long... C'mon, Firefox, we've got us some wreckin' to do!"
With that, the two took off towards the base of the structure, guns out and ready.
However, just before they reached the building's unfinished bottom floors, two heavily-built figures, with long, arcing tails curving up and over their heads, appeared in front of them, stopping them in their tracks. "We can't let you go any farther. Scorpi-CEO's orders."
Jack was about to scream something in protest, but Firefox spoke first. "Scorpi-CEO? That poison-tailed pig?"
"I will dismiss your derisive language regarding our Scorpi-CEO; however, the order still stands. You are to go no further."
"Oh yeah?" blazed Jack. "Just try and stop me!"
"No!" Firefox tried to keep Jack from firing on the Scorp-Goonie, making an unwise attempt to push Jack's gun away. "Jack, don't--!"
However, strong as Firefox was, Jack was not about to be stopped. He raised his gun, and pointed it directly at one of the Scorp-Goonies' heads. From that range, coupled with Jack's amazing marksmanship, it was nearly impossible to miss...
But Jack didn't even get an opportunity to fire. Faster than any eye could see, the other Scorp-Goonie's tail flicked over his shoulder and caught Jack on his neck, just between his shoulder and his jaw, with the pointed, venomed tip. Jack stumbled backwards, tripped, and fell heavily to the ground.
"No!" Firefox rushed to Jack's side, and lifted the white rabbit's head off the ground. "Jack!"
It was easy for him to see that the poisoned hole that the Scorp-Goonie's tail had left on Jack's neck was indeed poisonous, and the area around it began to swell. When Jack opened his eyes to Firefox, they were hazy and clouded. "Fire..."
"Jack... I'll get... you... no... just..."
Firefox was rapidly running out of time, and he knew it. The pin-sized hole that the poison barb had left had begun to bleed, and Firefox knew immediately that the blood issuing from the wound was not in good health, from its overly bright-red tinge. Jack's eyes were becoming more misty by the second, and his eyelids began to droop. Firefox, finally having run out of ideas, hauled Jack up bodily and carried him back to the Tavern; if he was lucky, he might be able to get some medical help for his friend there.
He wasn't lucky.

On entry to the Tavern, which he had initiated by kicking the semi-open door in lightly, Firefox saw several armed turtles evacuating the patrons of the Tavern who had not yet left. One of them turned around to see what was the source of the noise, and saw the Captain standing in the doorway, with Jack slumped over his shoulder like a carpet.
The turtle was obviously not impressed. "Hey! I thought I said 'everybody out, this place is being bought out by DSC!' Are you friggin' deaf?"
Firefox, startled slightly by the appearance of this gruff turtle inside the rabbit-based War Tavern, stuttered as he tried to form a sentence. "But... my... he... the..."
"Bluh, bluh, bluh, shut up! Shut up and get out, now! Y'hear me?"
Firefox immediately stopped. No one, especially not a turtle, ordered Captain Jaycen Firefox around like a common peasant.
No one.
Setting Jack's limp form down in a small booth near the entrance of the bar, Firefox glared at the turtle, who just as strongly glared back. "Whaddaya think you're doing? Get out, now!"
Firefox's entire body began to quiver with boundless blood rage, as he growled out, "You near killed my partner, and my best friend... jeez, he's practically my brother, after all we've been through. Now, I'm going to repay the favour."
"What the--?"
Firefox took two long strides towards the menacing turtle, placing them less than six inches apart. The turtle stared down at Firefox with fire in his eyes, but the stolid rabbit didn't back down in the least. The two's eyes remained aggressive as they attempted to stare each other down.
Suddenly, without warning, Firefox's fist came flying forward at the turtle's chest. It hit with such force that the turtle's shell, normally able to withstand even super-high pressures, broke apart, and long, jagged cracks radiated from the point where Firefox's fist struck. Not surprisingly, the turtle was killed on the spot, by one enraged punch to just the right place from the Captain's open hand.
Two of the other turtles turned when they heard the loud crack of their comrade's shell breaking, and their eyes fell upon the red rabbit, standing stock still and breathing heavily as the muscled and armed turtle keeled over, dead. They both raised their blasters at him, but Firefox was already right in front of them. He dispatched one of the two with a quick, open-handed uppercut to the chin, instantly breaking his neck; then, he spun around, whipping out his green blastgun, and spared no time in slaying the other with a single, two-barreled blast to the chest. They both fell to the ground, two limp heaps, as Firefox dodged out the door again, snatching the unconscious Jack out of his chair, and bolting away at full speed from the 'Tavern. Maybe, if he was lucky, he would be able to find help for Jack back in one of the nearby cities.
Firefox hoped, for Jack's sake, that he would be lucky this time.
