In this chapter, we meet my OCs.
I don't own Sonic the hedgehog. It belongs to Sega.
"This is the Motor Pool. Here we keep every vehicle in the world for our use. Jets, tanks, cycles, cars, you name it, we have it." A muscular gorilla by the name of Goliath was introducing the different vehicles in the Motor Pool, which is basically an area of 5 football fields filled will vehicles.
To Tails, this place was paradise. "Wow, check out that bike!" The vehicle in question was one whose color seemed to absorb all ambient light, only touched with neon green here and there. On the front was a skull design in silver with bones all over it. The whole thing looked like a vehicle from hell. "I see you have taken interest with the Hellraiser. You have good taste." A brown rabbit remarked. He had a singlet on and loose jeans and covered with oil from head to toe.
"Name's Vin. I'm the head mechanic and leader of the Alpha team here. And you are?" "My name is Miles Prower but I prefer to be called Tails." "Well then Tails, you like what you see?" "Yeah. Is the Hellraiser yours?" "I wish. It belongs to our top agent together with the Riptide, that jet over there, and Judgement, that overly-armed buggy there." "Are they customized?" "Yep. The Hellraiser can go four times the speed of sound at full throttle and that's without the nitrous. Riptide goes over Mach 6 and is whisper quiet. Judgement goes at Mach 3. Normally they would go only at 200 mph, 400 mph and 150 mph respectively."
Their conversation came to a stop as Doctor Nero spoke up. "Now that you have seen our vehicles, it's time to see the big guns. Proceed to the armory to have a peek at the most sophisticated weapons on Earth." "Well it's been fun but I gotta go. See you around." "Yeah."
Later
For once, Shadow wasn't being his normal self. He was literally drooling over the guns on display. They entered the armory and were greeted by rows upon rows of weaponry. "On this side we have the standard issue pistols. This is the Magnum T2. The recoil from this baby can break your fingers so be careful. Also, to get an accurate shot you need two hands. There we have the latest in bio-detection technology. This sniper rifle combines the Dragunov and the Barrett .50 cal, a lethal combination. That over there is the Minigun C-002. Light weight and great rate of fire." A black bear whose tag read Toklo dressed in full body armor and armed with a sniper, a pistol and shotgun announced. "We have a shooting range over there for testing any guns you like." "Yeah, look over to where tall, dark and emo-f…." A lion added from behind Toklo, pointing towards Selkadoom, a blue hedgehog in black armor and a mask. The sentence was interrupted by Selkadoom, with a throwing knife suddenly finding itself pinning the lion, Lionel, to the rack. Toklo cracked up. "Nice work trigger-mouth."
After an hour of viewing and testing the guns, the recruits were sent to the Training Hall for the simulation battle among the squad leaders and the assignment of squads and stream. Tails was place in the research and technology stream, Knuckles in the juggernaut stream, Rouge in the surveillance and espionage stream, Shadow in the charger stream and Amy in the combat medic stream. All of them were assigned to the Omega squadron as initiates.
"Simulation is about to begin. All squadron leaders report to their respective pods. Pod 1, Alpha Leader, Vin. Pod 2, Beta Leader, Goliath. Pod 3, Ceta Leader, Toklo. Pod 4, Delta Leader, Lionel. Pod 5, Omega Leader, Selkadoom." An A.I announced over the speaker. The rabbit, gorilla, bear, lion and hedgehog, all wearing a black neural feedback suits which allows them to feel the pain of the injuries without them actually sustaining them, stepped into their pods and sealed the hatch after them.
"Program initialized."
The recruits were treated to a bird's eye view of the match as well as POV shots on the side of the screen.
"This match is an elimination match. Each person has only 5 lives. Once they run out, the person whites out. There will be no restrictions to this match."
Each leader started to move, wary of each other. Selkadoom, however, somehow disappeared and reappeared behind Lionel and took him out by decapitating him with a katana.
"First kill to Selkadoom."
The other members of the Omega squadron cheered loudly for their leader. The other team leaders had by now came to a decision to team up against Selkadoom. However each attempt failed and the leaders were taken out instead.
"Headshot! Vin is out of lives." Vin tumbled out of his pod, looking like a giant had stepped on him. Kind of appropriate really, considering that Selkadoom had dropped a whole truck on him. Lionel got a throwing knife in the face, and Goliath a body full of bullets. One by one each leader fell until only Toklo was left. He hefted his M249 machine gun warily but failed to notice the shadow above him. By the time he realized it, Selkadoom had leapt off the building and impaled him on a laser spear before firing his RPG-7 at him.
"Toklo is out. The winner is Selkadoom, who yet again wins without losing any lives." "Man that guy is good." Knuckles exclaimed. "Yeah, 20 kills without a single death." Shadow was awestruck. "Hmmm, that move." Amy thought. "Where have I seen it before." The move was of course Sonic's Homing Attack but instead of hitting the enemy like before, Selkadoom had used it to knockout Goliath in order to hit him with a roundhouse kick that snapped his neck.
"Geez man. There's no need to hit so hard. Now my neck is going to hurt for weeks" Goliath was complaining. Selkadoom simply nodded and walked towards the Motor Pool.
"Hey Goliath. I wonder if you know anything about Selkadoom's past?" Tails asked.
"Not really. The only thing I know is that he was betrayed before he came here. He was so hurt that he became anti-social and refused to speak. So far he hasn't spoken a single word since he came here. "
"When did he arrive here?" "About three years ago. Why?" "Nothing."
Selkadoom's POV
Ahhh… nothing hits the spot after some exercise than a desert run. Maybe I could find something useful uncovered by the desert storm earlier. But Tails is kind of suspicious now. I can feel it. A storm is coming. Just hope I'm not too late.
Okay Chapter 3 is up! I Won't be updating for a while due to exams but I will be back. Till then, this is NexSub154, over and out!
