Omega snapped his fingers in from of Shadow's face. Still out cold.
"If he keeps on using attacks like that, It'll kill him!" Rouge said.
"It's not likely. But he will be locked in a coma for a few months if he uses anything more than a Chaos Spear," Omega said, checking Shadow's vitals.
"We should get a move on," Geoffrey said.
"Not yet, we need Shadow to rest," Omega said.
"Well, then carry him!" Geoffrey snapped.
"Who said you were in charge!" Omega screamed, "You- You're not even a part of this team. You're not even supposed to be here!"
"I'm a part of the King's Secret Service, that outranks G.U.N. by a long shot!" Geoffrey returned.
"The King doesn't matter to me. What does matter to me is the fact that G.U.N. is doing ten times the work to stop Eggman than the Service!" Omega said, returning to aiding to Shadow.
There was silence for so long it seemed to last forever. The only noise other than Omega tending to Shadows needs. Then Geoffrey broke the silence by simply walking away. He didn't talk to anyone. He just left back the way he came.

Sicyut tried to get on his feet. He couldn't. His hands were tied to the ground, making him unable to move.
"Let me outa here!" Sicyut yelled, his voice echoing.
"Shut up!" The guard replied.
Sicyut had to think of a way out. Otherwise his father would be in a coma forever. He looked around him. Just an old grimy jail cell. The jail door opened. A guard walked in. He set a steaming plate of rice in front of him.
"Dinner time," the guard said.
"I can't reach it," Sicyut said.
"I know," the guard said, closing the door.
Sicyut could hear the guard laughing outside his cell. It seemed like hours before the door opened again. An albino echidna walked in. He was wearing a dark cape that encircled his entire body so it was impossible to see what else he looked like. He had black eyes with gold pupils and yellow irises, and had a tiny pair of glasses crouched on the tip of his nose.
"What do you want?" Sicyut asked the echidna.
The echidna said nothing. He just crouched down, unlocked the chains and left a bowl of soup for him. The echidna then walked out. Sicyut immediately went for the door. It was locked. Damn. Sicyut thought. He walked back to the bowl of soup. He put a finger in and tasted it. He then remembered how starving he was. He gobbled down the soup fast. It filled him up fast. He was too busy eating to notice the albino echidna had reentered.
"Don't eat it all at the same time. You'll burst," the echidna said.
"Who are you?" Sicyut said, wiping some soup from his mouth.
"You can call me Albion," the echidna said.
"That's not your real name. That's the echidna capital," Sicyut said.
"Well educated, I see," the echidna said, "Doctor, then,"
"Dr. Eggman?" Sicyut said bewildered.
"Apparently not educated on things not related to dingoes and echidnas," the echidna said, frowning.
"Well, who are you?" Sicyut asked.
"I will tell you, if you don't say any of this to anyone!" echidna said, moving toward the dingo.
He took out a flashlight and said, "I'm going to look in your ear."
"What?" Sicyut said confused.
"I'm a doctor sent in to check on you. Now turn to the side," the echidna said.
Sicyut did as he said. The echidna flashed the light in his ear. Sicyut felt something drop into his ear, causing Sicyut to lurch back.
"What was that?" Sicyut asked, afraid he might already know the answer.
"Nothing," the echidna said, standing up.
He moved toward the door.
"Wait. You didn't tell me your name!" Sicyut said.
The echidna stopped, turned around and said, "Dr. Finitevus."

Stupid Omega. We could have gotten there a lot faster if he would've just listened to me. It's not that I want Shadow to die or anything. It's just that I want to get there faster. I wish he could understand that. Geoffrey thought.
Geoffrey's thoughts were interrupted by someone yelling, "You there! Hands up!"
Geoffrey looked around him to see he was surrounded by people in dark robes, with hoods pulled over their faces. What Geoffrey was worrying about was the fact they were holding Mako 56 Rifles. Those things could blow up a steel wall, who knows what it could do to a person. Geoffrey did as he was told. He wasn't in favor of getting blown up. Who were these guys? His question was answered when one of the men grabbed his arms and cuffed them. His grasp felt like steel. Literally, it felt like a big metal hand. He realized he had been captured. And not just by anyone. He had been captured by the Dark Egg Legion.
