I don't own Sonic the Hedgehog, all characters here belong to SEGA and Sonic Team. The concept belongs to Warner Bros. Animation.

Tyler Spar belongs, all the police and crime lord OCs belong to me.

This is the SWAT POV, somewhat reminisicent of the final shootout in Death Sentence and Heat.

The Lawless Mansion

Two SWAT vans reached the mansion, all SWAT officers armed to the teeth with Strutt being leader and Rouge 2nd-in-command. They blow open the door... Lawless soldiers and Dojima Kai soldiers armed heavily. Strutt pulled out an a assault rifle, firing, one part of the SWAT unit followed suit in a death squad-like approach, even shooting wounded soldiers.

The other half followed Rouge, clearing out rooms for any stragglers... One was suicidal, pulled out a katana and Rouge kicked his head off with vicious speed.

Two more Lawless thugs came out with shotguns, but Strutt unloaded his rifle into them.

"Ground floor clear!"

"2nd floor clear!"

"It looks like Saint should be at the top. Strutt, take your team to the stairs. The rest of you follow me up to the penthouse through the elevator."

"So, we're cleaning house?"

"Literally, Strutt. It's safe to assume that security will be heavily armed. So watch your corners and reserve your grenades for later. Also set up the Taser Shockwave when we reach a chokepoint."

The SWAT units up and left.

Rouge and her team were in the elevator, waiting, checking their weapons and ammo. They then put up their grenade launchers and readied their weapons... the doors slide open, a group of thugs try pulling their arms, but it's too late, grenades send them flying into the walls. The team spreads, finding all stragglers and shooting them... Rouge sliced one goon in half.

One SWAT officer set up a Taser Shockwave at a potential chokepoint...

Rouge and two others went down the hall, seeing the penthouse and only two guards, armed with assault rifles.

"Take them out silently. On my mark, 3... 2... 1... Mark."

The two officers ended their lives with a shot to the head and only a red mist proving they're dead.

Rouge broke down the door and saw "El Jefe" being manical, going mad... he then went at them like a crazy animal, only for Rouge to fire three bullets from her shotgun, blowing off his knees and chest. When they checked to examine, there was nothing recognizable. They furthered examined the former crime boss, he had lacerations on his wrists and around the armpit areas.

"Strutt, is there anymore stragglers?"

"No, after the first wave, there was no one else. But I can tell you, they're not alive anymore. And I think I found Saint. Without his mask."

"Alright. Team, let's move."

A Month Later...

There was a funeral for the Saint, only Rouge and Strutt attended. One of them had a surprised look.

"I can't believe it. It's not who it was."

"Yeah, Strutt. It was surprising, it was Emile Santos. Or at least what's left of him."

"At least he can rest at peace."

"Well, I gotta go. Report back to GUN."

"See ya around, Agent Rouge."

"See ya, Det. Lieutenant."

"See ya later."

Out of the blue, a trench coat-wearing figure says to him

"So the Saint is finally down?"

"Yeah, looks like it. But I have that feeling we didn't see the last of him. Who knows who he could've inlfluenced?"

"Most likely a man affected by tragedy. But no one's ever sure. What I can tell you is, that's not Saint."

"WHAT! How can that not be Saint?"

"He did what someone paranoid or smart enough would do. He put a dummy in his place. Emile was meant to be the fall guy. Saint's smarter than I thought."

"Oh, god. It might be another long week again. Ever since "El Jefe" AKA Frank Ochoa died, his company went to some mysterious heir known as Sanderson Holt, another hedgehog, but he's honest about his intentions. However, the death of "El Jefe" left a power vacuum and the Saint's gang is currently going against the Kamarov bratva, a arm-trafficking outfit."

"Perhaps the Saint is needed more than ever."

"He'll come back, but I'll be ready for him. However, it might not be the same man under the mask."

"Perhaps. They always say the cycle of revenge is everlasting. They always say the ultimate revenge is living. And let's say he's living up to the ultimate. I need to go now. See you later, Det. Strutt."

Det Strutt was dumbfounded by what this stranger said, but knew a battle would be coming sooner or later...

THE END?
