14 – Shadow wants the truth
In the following day, Shadow investigates the Dark Dragon, to find if the "detective dog" is right.
X-S.W.A.T. is at mission again, at this time, simultaneous: one group is at Amazon and the other one is at St. Petersburg, Russia.
Backing to the black hedgehog, he goes in Dark Dragon´s direction and asks:
"- Excuse me, but, It´s true that the book which you´ll use to revive Maria... is here ?", and the evil dragon, now changed in Jake Long´s form, replies with an evil face:
"- Of course... I hidden the book inside one of these walls, only for precaution...", but Shadow asks again: "- And the Chaos Emeralds ? And the Master Emerald, huh ?", which let the evil dragon angry:
"- You´re asking too much... What´s up with you, your dumbass ?", but Shadow explains himself, serious:
"- I want to be sure that you´ll go really accomplish with your promises...", but the dragon replies, still angry:
"- When you kill all X-S.W.A.T. members, I´ll accomplish with my promises, understood ?"
Shadow says, angry:
"- But...dammit...you sent me to the death, Dark Dragon! That guys from that organization are strong and persistent, principally that man with a skull t-shirt, he´s a son of a...", but Slade interrupts him, saying:
"- Um...You´re talking about "The Punisher", don´t you ? That man is tough, you know...He has a great vengeance desire, motivated by the death of his family...I would like to have a "conversation" with him and over with his carrier... forever..."
The Dark Dragon smiles, and says:
"- You´ll have your chance, Slade, but...", he turns to Shadow, making a serious face, "...When you, Shadow: until you don´t kill all X-S.W.A.T. members, I won´t accomplish with my promises, understood ?", he concludes.
"- Ok, ok... Just tell me when I´ll fight against them again...", Shadow replies, with a serious face.
"- When I want, hedgehog, but at this time, Deathstroke and Baltimore will help you...", the dragon replies, with a serious face.
"- Well... what you´ll do with the nuclear stuff that we stole ?", Shadow asks, and the dragon replies, smiling:
"- I´ll use them against X-S.W.A.T. and everyone who dare to stop us... They´ll be very useful against these harmless and pathetic humans: If they don´t obey to my orders, I´ll kill them!", but Shadow says:
"- Nice plan, but the own X-S.W.A.T.´ll try to stop the bombs...", and the evil dragon replies, with an evil face:
"- They´ll "try", but in vain: Baltimore and Slade are creating a new genre of nuclear bombs: neither the X-S.W.A.T. could detect them. They´ll be imperceptible and invisible, according to Slade. At this time, we won´t fail!"
Shadow asks:
"- Excellent plan, Dark Dragon, but, when you´ll use these weapons ?", and the dragon replies, still with an evil face:
"- It´ll be a surprise, Shadow... Not only for us, but also for X-S.W.A.T. and his allies... Ok, let´s back to work: we have a world to conquer...", and laughs afterwards. He goes to the Central room, followed by Shadow and Slade, who arrived after the conversation.
When this, the X-S.W.A.T. solves problems around the world: at Russia, Jean and his group stops Terrorists from steal technology of a Russian Military Base and destroy it afterwards, when Lisa and her group found a recent Terrorist base located in the midst of Amazon jungle, but X-S.W.A.T. is not only the American one, formerly know as the "Original": It has several members around the globe, and an example is the European X-S.W.A.T., leaded by an anthropomorphic male fox called Alejandro Maya, from Spain, who´s helping Jean´s group at Russia, which confirms X-S.W.A.T.´s independence. Different from another tactical groups, like Jack Bauer´s CTU, this organization doesn´t have any connections with any government or country, because the X-S.W.A.T. was created with the contribution of many countries, including China and Russia, to avoid any political or social problems that can occur.
The X-S.W.A.T. can order attacks where, when and how its members want, without request permission from governments, and was created to be a quickly and effective reply to the Terrorism around the globe, principally the "Sons of the Chaos".
