SURVIVORS (part one)



For three months Jaxson Jaguar and his 11 year-old cousin Donavan Jaguar 
have been traveling north by boat to find Jaxson's mother Tonya Jaguar.  The 
two have been stopping here and there trying to pick up leads that may lead 
to them finding her.  But for the past few months what leads they did they 
have all lead to no where.  But the search goes on; Jaxson has no intent on 
giving up now.
The two are in their small motorboat just a mile off the coast.  There is a 
dense fog settled around them.  It is so dense the only way the two know 
where they are is by a global location computer Jaxson brought with them.  
It's about 7:00 a.m. and you can imagine how hungry the two are.  "Jaxson 
when are we going to dock?"  Asked Donavan who was a bit groggy and hungry.  
"As soon as we come in range of a dock Donny."  Said Jaxson as he looked at 
his map and the global location computer.  He then noticed that they were 
near a small village on the coast.  Jaxson then pulled up the anchor and 
steered the boat into the harbor.
Jaxson cruised the boat easily on into the harbor, as he did he passed a 
sign.  Jaxson could barley see the letters but he could make out the name of 
the place.  "Safe Harbor Bay."  Read the sign.  A few feet pass the sign was 
what seemed like a floating dock.  Jaxson pulled the boat up closer to the 
dock and as he did he noticed that it was low tide and the air reeked of 
fish.  As he tied the boat to the dock he heard some one walking down the 
metal plank that connected the regular dock with the floating dock.
"Ahoy."  Sounded the person.  The person sounded like he was an old man with 
a seasoned voice.  "Ahoy who's there?"  Said the old man again as he pulled 
out a flashlight.  "Excuse me sir."  Answered Jaxson.  "I'm I doing 
something wrong here?"  Asked Jaxson as the man came closer.  He was wearing 
a yellow slicker and had the smell of fish all around him.  "Oh no as long 
as you don't intend to cause trouble."  Said the old man.  "You mind 
following me to my office and signing your boat in."  Jaxson agreed and 
followed him into a small office at the top of the dock.
As the three stepped into the office the old man turned on a light and took 
off his slicker.  He was a medium build sealion wearing a navy blue 
turtleneck sweater.  "So what brings you boys to Safe Harbor Bay?"  Asked 
the old sealion as he sat in a swivel chair and handed Jaxson a clipboard 
and a pen.  "We're here looking for someone and something to eat."  Said 
Jaxson as he sat back in a nearby chair to fill out the form for docking his 
boat.
"Who may I ask are you looking for?  Oh may I ask your name please?"  Asked 
the sealion.  "Sure, my name is Jaxson Jaguar Mr.?"  As Jaxson said his name 
the old sealion put his hand up to his chin and thought for a sec.  "Oh yes 
my name is Stuart Stilwater."  He said as he extended his hand across his 
desk to shake Jaxson's hand.  "May I ask who your looking for?  I may be 
able to help you I know most everybody in town."  Said Stuart.  "Well me and 
my cousin here are looking for a female jaguar.  She would be in her mid 
thirties by now and about as tall as me.  Her name is Tonya Jaguar."  Said 
Jaxson as he handed Stuart back the form for the boat.  "Well I think I know 
the person your looking for."  Replied Stuart.  Jaxson's eyes widened and he 
shot up out of his seat.  "You have?  Where is she?"  Said Jaxson whose 
heart was going a mile a minute.  Yes I have she lives on the other side of 
the harbor in a house facing the sea."  Replied Stuart.  "Why are you and 
your cousin looking for her?"  Asked Stuart.  "Because she is my mom now 
please I need directions to her house."  Pleaded Jaxson.  "Well I can do 
better then that, I can take you there my self."  Said Stuart.  "Thank you 
Mr. Stilwater."  Said Jaxson.
Stuart took Jaxson and Donavan to his tugboat that was docked right out in 
front of the office.  It was about 7:35 a.m. and the fog had lifted a bit.  
The three boarded the boat and started out.  Stuart cranked up the old boat 
and headed out of the harbor.  The boat went around the rest of the docks 
and boats in the harbor.  Jaxson noticed that most of them were huge fishing 
trolleys.  He also noticed that there were four boats that seemed like 
warships.  This gave Jaxson the idea that there was a freedom fighter group 
in the area.  By about 8:00 a.m. the boat was pulling into a small dock that 
extended from a house that was half on land and the other half was on the 
beach being held up by stilts.
The boat pulled up to the dock and as it did someone ran out to help the 
boat dock.  The boat docked smoothly ant the three stepped off onto the 
dock.  "Hi John" Said Stuart as he got of the boat with Jaxson and Donavan 
behind him.  "Hey Stu, who are these two?"  Asked John.  "Hi my name's 
Jaxson and this is my cousin Donavan" Jaxson answered as he extended his 
hand.  "No way, you're last name wouldn't happen to be Jaguar would it?"  
Asked John.  "Yes it is."  Said Jaxson confused.
Just then a woman's voice sounded coming from the house.  "John, who's 
there?"  The woman asked.  "I think you better come out here."  Said John.  
"Okay" Said the woman as she started down the dock.  Jaxson then looked at 
John who was a cat himself and looked about his age.  The woman came to the 
group wearing a brown hood and cape.  "What is it John?"  Asked the woman.  
"Look who Stu brought."  Said John.  The woman turned and looked at Jaxson 
and Donavan.  She pulled the hood off her head and stood there stunned at 
what she saw.  Jaxson and Donavan were also just as stunned.  "Oh my gosh."  
Said Tonya unable to move so she did the next best thing, she fainted into 
John's arms.  Jaxson and John then took her arms and put them over their 
shoulders and carried her to the house.
They put her on a couch and tried to wake her up.  Just then someone came 
down a staircase to where everybody was.  "What's going on here?"  Asked the 
adult cat in a slightly deep voice.  "John what's going on? Stu, why are you 
here, and who are they?"  He asked.  John then spoke up.  "Dad, this is 
Jaxson and Donavan Jaguar."  At that time Tonya came to.  "What's going on?" 
  She said in a groggy voice.  She then looked over at Jaxson and Donavan 
again but this time she did not faint.  "Jaxson is that you?"  She asked as 
she walked toward him.  "Mom it's me."  Replied Jaxson.  Tonya then moved 
his bangs from his forehead and noticed the pawprint on his forehead.  
"Jaxson."  That was all she could say as she hugged him tight.  "Well I best 
be going."  Said Stuart as he went out to his boat and shoved off.  A little 
while later the five sat down in the living room, Jaxson and Donavan sat on 
a couch, John in a recliner and Tonya and the other guy sat together on a 
love seat.  "So who are you?"  Asked Donavan to the guy sitting with Tonya.  
"Oh, I'm sorry the name's Roger Seacat.  I'm John's father."  Replied Roger. 
  "So mom this is where you been all this time?"  Asked Jaxson.  "Pretty 
much, the refugees I was with traveled north up the river only to end up out 
at sea.  We drifted about for a few days before finally reaching land.  We 
tried to look for civilization because my condition was worsening."  She 
said.  "What condition Aunt Tonya?"  Asked Donavan.  "When Robotnik stabbed 
me the blade wasn't far from my heart and I needed medical attention because 
all we had was a few things to keep me from getting infected and we were 
running out of those.  So we set out to sea again stopping here and there 
along the shore to get supplies or what not."

Tonya then flashes back to those times she is explaining.  "How are you 
feeling today Mrs. Jaguar?"  Asked a young squire who was in her mid 20's.  
"I'm fine Betsy, thank you."  Replied Tonya who was laying on a cot on a 
beach.  Soon ten refugees showed up for what seemed to be a meeting.  A 
female black and white dog that was the head of the group spoke up.  "People 
I have good news.  I was checking my map and noticed that there is a small 
fishing village not far up the coast from here."  She said.  "What is this 
placed called?"  Asked someone in the group.  "It is called Safe Harbor Bay. 
  If its name is any indication we should be able to find refuge there."  
She said.  Tonya heard all this but here mind was soon elsewhere.  She 
worried about her son who was left to group without any parents.  She 
remembered the last time she saw him which was when he and the other 
children escaped from Robotnik.
"Mrs. Jaguar, Mrs. Jaguar are you alright?"  Said the leader of the group 
who noticed that there was something wrong with Tonya.  "Oh I'm fine.  I was 
just thinking."  She said.  "Mrs. Jaguar this isn't the first time you have 
done this.  I'm sure your son and his friends are okay.  I mean my brother 
was one of the many who went to Cypress Knee and I have faith that he is 
okay."  She said try to offer some comfort to the injured jaguar.  "Maybe we 
should all call it a night, tomorrow we set off for Safe Harbor Bay."  With 
that the crowed dispensed and everyone went to their tents.  Tonya had to be 
carried to her tent on the cot because if she walked it would put to much 
strain on her weak heart.
It wasn't easy for Tonya to sleep that night or another night before it.  
This night would make it the hardest for she had a bundle of mixed emotions. 
  She was happy about finally reaching a place that they could call home but 
at the same moment her mind was still in mourning for her fallen husband and 
her son for even if he was alive he may never see her again.  And like many 
nights that preceded that one she cried herself to sleep.
She was still asleep when her and the refugees were back on the water.  They 
dared not go too far out of sight of land just in case there was an 
emergency.  The convoy of about five boats (some three carried people, one 
carried supplies and the other carried the injured like Tonya), were out on 
the water for about four hours when Safe Harbor Bay came into view.
As they turned into the bay a tugboat piloted by middle aged sealion pulled 
along side the convoy.  "Excuse me, but who are you people and where are you 
from?"  He asked.  The leader of the group stood up and answered.  "We are 
refugees from the city of River City.  Robotnik has taken over our city and 
we have no where else to go."  Answered the leader of the convoy.  "Well the 
follow me I see to it that you people get safe passage into our village."  
The convoy followed the tugboat into the harbor; there at one of the docks a 
crowd was forming to help the refugees.
The refugees were helped out of the boats and the injured were taken to a 
near by hospital.  Tonya was glad to be in a normal bed, for she hadn't been 
in one since before River City was taken over.  A doctor stepped into the 
room where she was to give her some news on her condition.  "Well Mrs. 
Jaguar your lucky antibiotics were put on your wounds or you would have a 
serious infection by now."  Said the Doctor who was a male lizard in a white 
doctor's coat.  "What is that mean for my doctor?"  Asked Tonya.  "Well it 
means we can take you into surgery and get you fixed up.  You may have to 
take some pills for a few weeks after the surgery, but after that you should 
be feeling fine."  Replied the doctor.  With that Tonya was taken into 
surgery for to heal some damaged arteries of her heart.
One week later Tonya was feeling great, so great that even the doctors were 
amazed of her progress.  She tried to look for a job, but it was hard 
considering the only job she ever had was that of a solider.  She eventually 
found a job at a restaurant on the docks.  She worked at the cashregister 
and when they needed her she acted as the cook.  Both jobs she did well.  
Not too long after that she found a little house over looking the ocean on 
the other side of the village.  She kept to herself most of the time but she 
always found time to help people and what not.  The one thing she didn't 
like about Safe Harbor Bay was the fact that there was a Freedom Fighter 
group there.  They would go out and run missions to a far off island 
occupied by swatbots and then return.  Tonya wanted to join them but she was 
never much of a sailor and she didn't want to risk injuring her heart.
One day while she was closing up the restaurant the leader of the S.H.B.F.F. 
showed up with his son.  "I'm sorry but we're closing."  She said.  "Oh 
common you sure you don't have time for two more customers."  Said the man.  
He was a brown cat with a white streak that went from his nose all the way 
to the tip of his tail.  His son who was about six was black with the same 
white streak.  "Well I guess two more wouldn't hurt."  She said as she led 
them to a booth.  "So what will you and your son be having?"  She asked with 
a smile.  "We'll have some fried fish and french fries please."  Said the 
man.  "Okay that is two fish and chips coming up."  She said joking.  
"You'll have to excuse the lateness of your order I'm the only one here."  
She said.  "That's alright, we don't mind waiting."  Said the mans son.  
Tonya went into the kitchen to make the order plus a little something for 
herself.  She looked out at the man and his son and it reminded her of her 
husband and her son who by then would be six.
Not too long after she started the meals they were done and she took them 
out to the customers.  She sat down with them and started to eat and strike 
up a conversation.  Aren't you that Roger Seacat leader of these freedom 
fighters?"  She asked.  "Yes ma'am I am and this is my son John."  He said 
as his son looked up from his meal and waved.  "I've seen you around before 
but I can't remember your name."  Said Roger.  "It's Tonya, Tonya Rico 
Jaguar."  She replied.  "Well it's a pleasure to meet you Ms...."  Tonya 
then interrupted him.  "Mrs. Tonya Jaguar."  She said.  "Oh I'm sorry I 
didn't know you were married."  Roger said correcting himself.  "I'm not 
married anymore, my husband was killed not to long ago."  She said.  "Oh I'm 
sorry, why do you still want to be called Mrs. if you are a widow?"  He 
asked.  "I guess it gives me some closure.  Besides it reminds me I have a 
son out there."  She explained.  "Why isn't you son with you now?"  Asked 
Roger as he took a drink of water.  "Well we were separated when my old city 
was taken over."  She answered.  "Why didn't you go look for him?"  Roger 
asked.  "I couldn't, I was badly injured and so brought with some other 
refugees here."  She said.  "So is there a Mrs. Seacat?"  Asked Tonya.  
"Unfortunately no, she died giving birth to John here."  He said.  "I'm 
sorry.  It seems we have something in common."  Said Tonya.  "So we do."  
Replied Roger.
The sun is setting over the horizon and the five are still at that dinning 
room table listening to Tonya's story.  "Well after that meeting I started 
seeing Roger here almost on a daily bases.  We dated a few times then a year 
later on the same day we first met he asked me too merry him.  I said yes 
and we were married two months later."  She said smiling.  Jaxson on the 
other hand and on the other side of the table just sat there with a blank 
look on his face.  "Jaxson, you home?"  Asked Donavan waving his hand in 
front of Jaxsons face and snapping his fingers trying to get him to snap out 
of it.
Jaxson was out of it for about two minutes then eventually words came out of 
his mouth.  "You're married, to him."  Said Jaxson totally stunned.  "Yes 
Jaxson, uh I don't I fix us something to eat okay."  Said Tonya as she left 
the table and went into the kitchen.  Jaxson then looked across the table at 
Roger.  "So you're my step-dad."  Said Jaxson looking dead at Roger.  "Yes 
Jaxson I guess so."  Replied Roger.  "I'm glad to know she isn't alone and 
that she has someone."  Said Jaxson.  "Jaxson, I'm glad to hear that and I 
know you will never totally accept me as your father."  Said Roger.  "Well 
Roger I really wont have much time to do so.  I have to go back to my 
Freedom Fighters soon, and at least I'll know that my mom is happy and 
alive."  Said Jaxson with a slight laugh.  "I understand."  Replied Roger.
The five sat down to eat and Jaxson caught his mom up with what was 
happening in Cypress Knee.  He told her about how he trained himself and how 
became the leader of the C.K.F.F.  He told her about what happened to 
Donavan's parents and why he lives with him.  He told her about the 
hurricane and how it took the life of one of his friends and how it forced 
others to leave the village.  And to top it all off he told her about 
Kathryn.  How he loved her so and how her coming to terms with her mom 
inspired him to come look for her.  "Sounds like you have had an interesting 
life Jaxson."  Said Tonya.  "You could say that."  Said Jaxson.  Jaxson then 
looked down at his plate and noticed he was finished.  He helped his mom 
clean the table and he volunteered him and Donavan to do dishes.
Later Jaxson fell asleep on the couch and Donavan on the loveseat.  Up in 
the master bedroom Tonya and Roger were talking about something important.  
"You didn't tell him."  Said Roger who was laying on the bed.  "I know but I 
don't know how to tell him. Said Tonya who was pacing around the bed in a 
nightgown.  "You're going to have to tell him sometime before he leaves."  
Said Roger.  "I know I'm just worried about how he will take it."  Said 
Tonya who climbed into the bed.  "Well he took the news about us good."  
Commented Roger.  "True, but how will he take this?"  She wondered.  "Worry 
about it in the morning."  Said Roger as he kissed Tonya on the cheek.  "Now 
go to bed you'll need your rest."  Said Roger as he reached over to turn off 
a lamp that was next to the bed.  As he did that Tonya slowly drifted off to 
sleep her self.

Early the next morning Jaxson was standing out on the deck feeling the cool 
seabreeze blowing onto the land bringing in the salty air of the sea.  Tonya 
came looked out of the French doors at Jaxson.  She then walked out to join 
him.  "You always were an early riser."  She said as she stepped out on the 
deck in a white robe.  "Yeah, I guess that is one thing I never grew out of 
I guess."  Replied Jaxson.  "Jaxson I have something important to tell you." 
  Said Tonya.  "This trip has been full of surprise."  Commented Jaxson.  
"Hmm, I guess so."  Replied Tonya.  "So what do you need to tell me?"  Asked 
Jaxson.  Tonya turned and looked dead at her 15 year-old son and took a deep 
breath.
"Jaxson, my son, I'm.................





TO BE CONTINUED



Hi me again, I know it's been a while but hey I'm back.  So what is it that 
Tonya has to tell Jax, well you'll just have to wait and find out in
