I know it's been awhile. I've unfortunately caught some sort of sickness... in May. I have no idea why. Anyway, here you go. Also, it happened to be Gadget's birthday!
SunSera: You may or may not be right about a piece of Infinite's past coming back, oh, and my ideas? My general ideas aren't necessarily from stories, but more or so if the Cold War went bad in a fictional world. I do have a huge piece of inspiration, but it'll leave spoilers for the story so I won't reveal it until later.
Infinite's POV
We trekked along the outskirts of the city, Gadget guiding us where to go. From what we've seen, most of the fight was centered at the Eastern side of the city. Deep within me, I was concerned about my wellbeing. There were two sides that literally wanted me dead. Out objective will be risky. I was more concerned about Gadget, honestly. I didn't want to lose him, or at the very least have him found out.
I'm not sure why, but I think I've also lost some of my grip in fighting, and yet I've been fighting, assassinating, you name it. Even though I've been in my squad for apparently nine years now since its 2017, and not 2016. What the Hell happened to me and my memory? Maybe I should stop rambling about that, and look what's ahead of me. Memories can wait.
Explosions rumbled our ears as we pressed on. "Maybe we could hitch a ride and get behind them faster. But what's our plan?" I asked. Gadget rubbed his chin.
"Maybe we could destabilize them a bit by distracting their forces from the city. Cause a few explosions, and maybe show your face to them. That might get their attention enough for GUN to counterattack. The only issue is that we don't know how large the fighting force is. If it's a few thousand to a few hundred thousand..."
"Maybe not showing myself to them. That part we can leave out." I grumbled.
"Fair enough." My friend replied. I saw him stop and think for a moment. "If that doesn't work, I've got another plan. A more radical one though that is risky. Tell you later about it though."
"Alright, fine. Let's move." We dashed off down the street, Gadget slightly faster than me. I caught up a bit and looked over at Gadget, who had this determined look on his face. He looked at me for a moment before an explosion detonated right by him, throwing him a few feet. I stopped.
"Gadget!" I yelled and ran over to him. He was dirty but looked otherwise fine except he was missing his glasses.
"I can't see!" The red one told me. I frantically looked around and found his glasses lying a few meters away. I ran over and returned them to their owner. "Thanks." Gadget told me as I lent out and hand and helped him up.
"Are you aright?!" I asked. He laughed it off.
"I'm fine, I appreciate your concern though." The wolf flashed me a smile and we continued on. We hopped across houses and were being very wary of any enemies in the area. Thankfully nobody was in the area other than a few aircraft flying overhead. Occasionally explosions would occur too.
"All good?" I heard Gadget call through the wind.
"Yeah!" I shouted back. Other than my wounds that would inevitably open up again, I was fine.
I took us awhile, but we finally found ourselves at the edge of the warzone. The bodies of the new redesigned and intimidating GUN soldiers were sometimes seen from down below on the street. Some of the buildings were also damaged from explosions. We stopped to look at some of GUN's outdated armour rolling down the street. Probably to almost certain death.
"Lets keep moving." I heard Gadget tell me. I almost felt sad, honestly. If a huge war really did just happen, and another is just starting... I don't know what to say. It's a bit far, even for me.
The chaos picked up as we pressed right into the warzone. Bullets and the sounds of pure war were all around us now. "We should take the buildings through rather than being in the open." I said. He nodded and we both ducked into an old house. I looked out the window to see GUN soldiers running into combat and firing their weapons. They were all distracted.
Gadget I peeked out the window and looked for any enemies. The vehicles were pressing on against the enemy. We took this opportunity when no one was looking and ran across the street and into the next house. We checked our backs.
"No one saw us." I said. "As much as I hate it, we should take the sewer again and get behind them that way. This whole area is a killzone." I looked at my red wolf friend, and he nodded. I looked forwards and down the street where conveniently there was a sewer grate slightly open, and he ran to it but I heard heavy footsteps which made me instinctively crouch and get ready to attack.
A soldier wandered in and stopped, dumbfounded by the sight of me, but began aiming his gun at me. "Hey, that's-" I rolled across the floor and kicked the weapon out of his hands and knocked them out with a good punch to the face. I checked the room, in which nobody else was present.
Being careful, I ran across and jumped into the grate, breathing heavily and landing on one knee. "What stopped you?" Gadget asked.
"Idiot barged in at the wrong time. I took him out." I replied and got up.
"You didn't kill them, did you?" I shook my head.
"No, I don't think so. Just a good knockout."
"Okay, Just please don't kill any GUN soldiers or Resistance members if possible. Don't give them a legitimate reason to hunt you down." I chuckled and shrugged that one off.
"You act as if I've never done this kind of thing before. I know what I'm doing. I'm not stupid." I retorted. He shrugged and signaled me to move on.
"Whatever, lets go!"
And there you have it. Be happy people, and thanks for basically 100 reviews at this point!
