G.U.N Recruitment Part 1: The mission Briefings?!

Shadow leaned his legs against an armrest as he listened to Commander Abraham Tower, the leader of G.U.N. In two months a lot had happened on planet Mobius, and only a day ago Shadow and Rouge helped Sonic and the Freedom Fighters against the Neo Eggman Empire. G.U.N sent the Freedom Fighters help, because they learned of a massive cannon that Neo Dr. Eggman planned to fire and destroy everything in New Megaopolis which would've included him and his Dark Egg Legion troops. G.U.N learned about the existence of the laser cannon, because Team Chaotix destroyed the communications relay of New Megaopolis, which also doubled as a massive jamming device for global communications for everyone except the Neo Eggman Empire. Once it was destroyed, G.U.N finally got eyes in the skies of New Megaopolis.

With global communications restored, the United Federation was able to rally G.U.N forces for surgical strikes. They were still trying to figure out what happened to Commander Hugo Brass and the Paladin Squad that he attempted to rescue, but at least they were able to give tactical support for their valued allies the Freedom Fighters of New Mobotropolis.

Shadow respected Sonic at this point in life, and he allowed Sonic the right to finish Neo Dr. Eggman and get it over with. Shadow and Rouge were called in for an important mission regarding a rogue Badnik. Shortly before Commander Abraham Tower started, Green the Hedgehog and Nicolas the Holo-Lynx came in. They were also called in for the mission. "Now that everyone is here. I shall explain what you've been called here for. About a year ago, Dr. Oliver Eggman created an elite series of robots known as the E-100 Series robots. Chief among their ranks, is E-102 Gamma." The Commander said, as he gestured to the footage of Gamma, which was displayed on a big monitor along with photos. "Gamma went rogue however, and has taken a one man stand against both the Eggman Empire of his creator and the Neo Eggman Empire. It succeed in reprogramming half of its original team of Badniks, these Badniks were shut down and vanished after being reprogrammed." The Commander said, as photos were shown of the Badniks that were reprogrammed. "Gamma had no choice but to destroy the other members of its team that it couldn't reprogram, which included an upgraded version of the Badnik called Beta. Afterwards it helped Sonic become Super Sonic by giving him a Chaos Emerald, it disappeared after this." The Commander said as photos were shown of the robot seen in Station Square when Perfect Chaos attacked the city. "Ever since that day. Gamma has attempted to locate and reprogram the other E-100 Series robots, and destroy forces from both of the Eggman Empires. Gamma has helped other Freedom Fighter cells and G.U.N units off and on, but hasn't approached them directly. Gamma has been on its own for far too long, and is in need of manual repairs. We need you to find Gamma and it's reprogrammed teammates and get them back to G.U.N safely, and given Gamma's nature as a sentient A.I based robot its likely you'll have to reason with it in order for it to join." The Commander said as photos were shown of Freedom Fighters seeing robots getting blasted and Gamma damaged.

"Thank you for bringing me in for this mission sir. I've worked hard on Badnik repurposing before, and I think this gives us a chance in order to put it to the test." Green said, as he looked over the mission briefing and reports.

"You'll all be leaving in minutes for the last known location of Gamma. Reports claim he was seen somewhere in the White Acropolis." The Commander said.

"We'll be leaving shortly." Green said as he and Nicolas got ready.

"If it's all the same. I'll recruit Gamma myself. My team can locate the other robots, once I've found Gamma." Shadow said, in a shallow tone.

Rouge could tell something was up with Shadow. She didn't know what it was, but she knew Shadow wasn't completely together. You see not too long ago Shadow helped destroy a Metal Sonic robot from the Neo Eggman Empire, and felt like he was powerless in his attempts to make a living weapon a person. He wanted to save Gamma, and prove to himself that he can rescue another living weapon.

Meanwhile back in New Megaopolis at the Egg Dome, Neo Dr. Eggman was briefing one of the most powerful Badniks he had on a mission. And this robot was none other, than E-123 Omega! This robot was the results of the top secret Project Omega program, and Neo Dr. Eggman had kept the robot at his capital for a long time. He stole the robot from his half-brother Oliver way back in the Chaos Crisis which happened within the month of his return. "You shall destroy Gamma, and end that rogue once and for all!" Neo Dr. Eggman said.

"I refuse." Omega said.

"What?! You haven't even been online for 24 hours! You can't possibly go rogue!" Neo Dr. Eggman said with great anger.

"Exactly. You stole me from my creator, who created me to destroy Sonic! Why isn't my mission to destroy Sonic?!" the robot asked in a very strong tone.

"For three reasons! One because the Rodent is mine! Two because I'm the Neo Egg Emperor and make the rules! And three! Because I'll lock you up in storage for another decade unless you obey my commands!" Neo Dr. Eggman ordered as he was nose to nose with Omega.

"Your argument is logical. But know that as soon as I've destroyed Gamma, I shall hunt down Sonic myself." Omega said, as he went to the balcony of the Egg Dome.

Neo Dr. Eggman and Snively walked toward the balcony, and watched Omega use his powerful engines to fly off. "Are you certain that you want to waste using Omega to destroy Gamma?" Snively asked his insane uncle.

"Omega is more powerful than all of the Badnik Hordes put together! He'll complete his mission with ease, and finally put my mind at ease concerning Gamma since it chased Theta into the sewers of Old Robotropolis!" Neo Dr. Eggman said with glee, he largely ignored most of what Snively said.

"But of course sir. Lien-Da reports that the Dark Egg Legion has engaged the Freedom Fighters." Snively said, he was patiently putting up with his uncle's madness.

"Excellent Snively! Ready my Egg Tarantula!" Neo Dr. Eggman said with excitement. He grinned evilly, because he was ready for his final showdown with Sonic.

What a start. Can Shadow and his team rescue Gamma and the other robots in time, or will Omega beat them to the punch?! Find out in the next and final chapter!
