No Brotherly Love

Chapter 9: She's Awake

Sonics POV:

"How've you been Metal?" I asked with a smirk.

"I've been...coping. I have to admit, I kind of miss our little fights." He said casually.

I crossed my arms and asked in a joking way, "You mean the ones where I kicked your arse back to Eggman?"

"Ha ha ha, yes. Those were good times weren't they?" He said in a friendly tone.

"You kidding me? You were a pain in my keester." I said unfolding my arms and smiling more.

"Ha ha. God. It's good you're back."

"How can you're opinion of me change when I haven't even been here?" I asked frowning, but I still had a casual smile on my face.

"Oh, now that is quite a story. I'll tell you another time" He said about to walk away.

Raising an eyebrow, I pointed back to the huge, metallic door and I said, "Erm, have you seen what it's like out there? There may not be another time."

He turned back to me, "Oh, there will be. After all, you're here for me aren't you?"

"Honestly, I have no clue." I shrugged still having a smile on my face.

"Well, I know G.U.N sent you. I'm pressuming it was that stuck-up fox agent?"

"Yeah. Why? Have you two met?" I asked.

"On a few occasions. Since you've been gone, her and G.U.N wanted something that had your abilities. Shadow has many similar abilities but, lets be honest, he's only fast because of those rocket shoes. Whereas you and I were made with speed. So because you were gone, I was the next option. This was all after Tails turned...well, evil. I don't have all the details on what happened, but it wasn't good. Anyway, I refused...continuously. Once you returned the only thing they wanted was you. But they still need members to your squad and--"

"Whoa, hold up. What squad?" I asked rather curiously.

"My,my. They certainly are keeping you in the dark about this aren't they?" He said half laughing.

I tilted my head forward, motioning him to answer my question.

"Aah, god. Well you see, G.U.N have tried countlessly to stop Tails but everytime they've either had all their troops wiped out or they've lost all communication with their ground and air forces. But they had an idea. If they assembled a team of the best of the best they'd be able to take Tails down. They need certain operatives and, well, I'm one of them. Other squad members are Amy, Knuckles and Shadow. I'm in the squad to help medically. Anything to do with healing or even poisoning, I'm the one to talk to. I will keep the records of your squads medical needs in my database aswell. Any further questions?" He asked.

"Erm, no, I-I guess not. Thank you." I said, clasping my hands together.

"Well, I'll get my things and we'll go."

"What things?"

"My medical equipment of course. I'd hate to use G.U.N's crap." He said rather proudly.

"Too true." I said smirking.

5 Hours Later:

Metal was helping Amy regain consciousness. Something changed in Metal. I wanted to know what, but that could wait.

I wanted Amy to wake up and, eventually, she did.

I told her about everything Metal told me.

She just replied with an OK and gave me a quick kiss on he lips. She then got on her feet and left the room.

I went to find Knuckles, told him everything and he also said OK, but also said we both needed to catch up soon. I agreed.

I then went to find Shadow. He was in target practise. When I said hi, he just ignored me.

I then tried telling him what Metal said and he just frowned, it clearly caught his attention.

"I wasn't informed about a squad. But if it means taking down Twin-Fox, then I'm in." He said, placing his sniper rifle by his side as he sat on a nearby table.

"Why call him 'Twin-Fox'? He's called Tails." I asked

"No, his name is Miles Prower. His codename is Twin-Fox." He said while snarling.

"Ok, ok. Chill Shads." I said, raising my hands apologetically.

"When we get him, I'm gonna make him pay." He said while getting off the table and going back to target practise.

"For what?" I asked.

He looked down. Then back through his sniper's scope and grunted, "He killed Rouge."

I was in shock. I couldn't think of what to say.

I turned to leave when a voice was heard on the speaker.

"Sonic, Shadow, Amy and--what the heck? Look you know who you all are, just get your arses to the debriefing room, ASAP!"

It was the female fox agent. I rolled my eyes and started to walk.

Then I thought, 'Wait? Where is the debriefing room!'
