This marks the 20th chapter into the story! Congrats me for not abandoning this story, but I guess that's all thanks to you guys! We reached sixty reviews and we're almost at sixty favourites, you guys are awesome!

IMPORTANT:

Now, there is a poll on my profile regarding the story that I want everyone to check up apon reading this. It's basically asking you if I should start the actual Infidget shipping a little early, even though it may not make a lot of sense to some people for Infinite and Gadget to get together that early despite not knowing eachother very long.

I'll wait until I get at least 20 votes on one answer, and make the final decision.

Anyway, that's all I need to say.

SunSera: You must really like my story if you constantly come back to it! I appreciate your reviews, what you say is quite encouraging, like making my plot work with Forces' storyline, etc.

Guest: Who knows, maybe they can run forever. You'll have to see.

6:32 AM, November 12th. The next day. At Resistance HQ

"Are you sure it's the right dude?" A famous blue hedgehog on a large screen asked, with an eye ridge up.

"More than certain, Sonic." Knuckles replied, annoyed with the current news he had gotten just a few minutes ago. "I have the report, Infinite did in fact escape that prison with possibly an unknown accomplice who's been making way for the border. No idea what his intentions are, but I'm not taking chances with him."

Sonic scratched his head. "Well, hey, he shouldn't be much of a challenge since the Ruby prototype on em' is gone and now destroyed. Keep in mind I'm exhausted not really into fighting after what's happened this past year." The echina sighed.

"Yeah, but..." He closed his eyes. "We lost contact with that team that went cross border. I just wanna express my concerns that he might be still more dangerous than we think." He replied.

"I gotcha." Sonic said with a thumbs up. "If somethin' really, really bad happens, then I'll do something about him, or just Shadow. Edgy beat Infinite before, right?" The blue one asked.

"Yeah, you're right. I'll talk to GUN. You go relax." Knuckles said with a smile.

"Alright peace!" The video connection between the two disconnected. Knuckles put his hands on the table and sighed again. He went over to the computer and began typing on it, before another video connection began securing itself on screen. It was answered by a GUN soldier.

"Morning, sir." The soldier said with a salute.

"Hey, can you get me video clearance with Colonel Blaxton? I need to speak with him on an important matter." Knuckles asked.

"Right away." The soldier began typing on their computer and the video connection changed to a dark red hedgehog bearing a few scars and wearing a grey digitalized camo uniform.

"You called, Knuckles?" He asked.

"Colonel, I need to ask you something on a very important matter." The red one asked, making hand movements as he spoke.

"And what would that be?" The Colonel crosses their arms, looking at the camera.

"What's the status of GUN as a whole? Something has come up recently."

"We have close to 20,000 troops. We've been getting plenty of new recruits and old soldiers rejoining the team. Ten thousand of those are located here in the U.F, and the other ten in Spagonia, who will be split up and sent to other countries within the next six months. The arsenal is still quite... well, cheap as you'd call it. Our budget has only limited us to building fleets of basic technology, such as helicopters, boats, etc. for the time being." The battle-worn hedgehog replied.

"Alright." Knuckles said. "So the reformation is going well. I'm glad to hear that." He replied with a smile. The one onscreen just gave an annoyed look.

"What are you calling me for, exactly?" He asked. Knuckles lowered his head.

"Infinite escaped from the prison we sent him to three months ago." Blaxton looked around, and back at the camera as if to say 'What's the point you're getting at here?'

"Why would he be a concern to us? He's nothing without the Ruby. In that country, he'll be dead soon enough." The Colonel replied. Knuckles shook his head.

"I sent a Resistance team to deal with him. Apon reaching Infinite's location, we lost complete contact with the thirty or so men that were sent over. And I mean I haven't heard a thing. I know he's heading to Spagonia with more bad intentions and that he may be still dangerous, so I'm simply asking you to get some troops out to the eastern part of the country and go looking for him."

Blaxton finally gave in. "Fine. I'll get a few bases set up in Redherden City and small units of soldiers to scrub the area for him. What is he, a capture order?" He asked.

"No..." The red one shook his head and crossed his arms. "I already basically gave him a second chance at living by sending him to that prison and well, he blew it. I want him to be put down. I don't care how you do it, just make sure he's gone for good."

A bit of a shorter chapter today, but stay tuned until the weekend. If you're curious, Redherden City is a fictional city made by me in the Sonic universe. It's located in the far East of Spagonia, about 300 miles from the border. Blaxton is a new character I made as well, he's the new head of GUN after it was completely obliterated during the war.
