AGAIN, WARNING! THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE STORY THE VIOLENCE AND LANGUAGE WILL GET WORST. LANGUAGE WILL GET CENSORED BUT IT WILL GET USED MORE FREQUENTLY. VIOLENCE CONTAINS: Shooting, Physical and Bloody Descriptions.


Sitting on the floor in his cell mad with his hands in front of him handcuffed, Zeke says to himself. "I can just hear him now. Warning me about the damn forest with his whiny, nerdy, and irritating nagging voice."

Zeke sounding like Zander. "What did I tell you not to do?"

"Not to fly over the forest." He answers

"What did you do?"

"I flew over the forest."

"And what happen?"

"I got shot down."

"You sir are grounded for-e-ver."

He sighs, "Third time this week so nothing new." He looks at the bars. He gets up and walks up to the bars while rubbing the back of his head still feeling the pain. He looks up and sees a camera. Looking directly at it, he sticks his arms through the bars and flicks it off. "That should get their attention." He hears footsteps on the other side of the door and someone fighting with the lock to unlock it. The door opens.


One of the guards steps into the room and closes the door as it locks by itself. He turns and just stands there looking at Zeke then quickly strikes at him hitting the bars almost getting his arms. "Tell us about the kid." The guard asks.

"I'm not telling you shit. He's long gone already so good luck finding him." He says back without thinking.

His eyes widen in disbelief from what he just heard him say. He quickly pulls out his radio, "Can anyone hear me? The kid was with him. I repeat, the kid was with him at the crash site."

They both look over at the window hearing other BOA soldiers leave the base.

He looks back to Zeke, "You're an f&%$ing idiot. You just admitted that he was with you."

"Uhhh… That's right and all of you went through the trouble of getting me here wasting time for him to get away." Zeke says back.

"We know this forest from the inside out. We'll find him." The guard smirks getting closer to the bars. "Once we find him I can just put a bullet in your head."

Zeke looks at his equipment not seeing a gun on him and laughs getting closer to the bars. "You don't even have a gun so am already calling your bluff. Someone else is going to do it for you cuz you're to chicken shit to do it yourself." He says stopping just close enough to be swung at.

The guard snarls at him and takes a swing.

Zeke dodges out of the way grabbing onto his wrist and pulls making the guard smack into the bars. The guard pulls back pulling Zeke toward himself giving him a chance to thrust forward with a kick, kicking him in the gut making the guard hunch forward. Still grabbing his wrist he pulls again slamming him into the bars again. He then releases and put his hand cuffs past the bars and around the back of the guards neck. Zeke then puts a foot onto one of the bars and just pulls. The Guard struggles and gasp for air until the sound of bone cracking is heard. The guard struggles goes limp and motionless.

After a couple of seconds of pulling he stops and lays his body on the floor and quickly goes through his pockets looking for the keys. Searching he finds them but then looks up and remembers about the camera. He hears foots steps running to the door as again someone fighting with the lock to open it.

"Shit." Zeke quickly fights with his lock hoping to find the right key and open before they do. They both manage to open the door at the same time as one of the guards runs into the room. Zeke runs tackling the first guard, slamming him into the door pushing the other guard back out making it lock again.

Zeke pulls The Guard away from the door and swings him towards the cell bars tripping over the dead body. The Guard looks at the body and then back to Zeke.

Muffled arguing is heard from the other side of the door. "I don't have the key to the door. He's locked in there with you." The other BOA soldier says from the other side pounding on it.

Zeke looks at the door than turns right at him, "Do you really think am locked in here with you? Well…" His voice deepens as he narrows his eyes at him. "I see it the other way around."

The guard whips out a knife but instead going towards Zeke he backs into the cell closing it.

"Good call. NOW GIVE ME THE KEY TO THESE CUFFS!"

Guard yells back. "WHEN THEY GET IN HERE YOU'RE F&%$ING DEAD!"

Zeke thinks to himself looking at the door. "He's right. Once they break that door down then I'm a dead wolf. I have to get out of here quick." He looks at the window and nods. Checking the dead body he grabs the metal rod that he was using and runs back to the window. He starts pounding the window over and over until he finally smashes through. He climbs out being careful with the sharp glass.

"HE'S GOING THROUGH THE WINDOW" The Guard shouts.

It was the last words he heard as he runs towards the forest.


Inside the forest he had to stop and figure out which way was west. He stops at a small open clearing and looks up at the sky not blocked by trees. He remembers what Zander once told him. Sun rises from the east and sets on the west. "Its way pass noon so… sun is… west is that way."

He was about to run but knew he had to at least get them off his trail. He looks down and sees piles of leaves on the ground. He drops to the ground and begins to cover himself as much as he can. Once done he just lays there and hopes that no one kicks him or walks on him. Hearing footsteps he lies still hearing them stop and talk.

Not being able to see, he hears a couple of Soldiers running close to him and stopping. "Are you sure you saw him come this way?"

"Yeah, I saw him heading this way."

More soldiers arrive, but not as close to where he is. "Anything?"

"No nothing but I know he came this way."

Even more soldiers arrive. Looking around as they get closer to where he's hiding. A couple of Jeeps drive up to them as everyone starts arguing with each other. "We need to find him quick before… Shit here he comes."


Another Jeep comes driving in at high speed as everyone gets out of the way but it almost runs Zeke over as it stops on his left foot, parking on it.

Zeke wanted so badly to yell out in pain but with his right arm next to his mouth he shoves it into his mouth and bites down.

The driver gets out of the Jeep revealing that it's the Leader of the BOA's. "WHAT THE F&$% HAPPENED? HOW'D DID HE ESCAPE?"

"One of the guards was interrogating him and got to close. He managed to grab him and killed him." One of the soldiers answered.

Calming down he gets back onto the Jeep as it applies pressure onto Zeke's foot. The Leader then and says, "We need to find HIM NOW before we lose him."

"Why Sir? Why don't we just kill him and get it over with?" A soldier asks.

The Leader looks at him. "Why?" He pulls out a gun and fires at him, causing his head to whip back. Everyone that was around him jumps away. "I'LL TELL YOU WHY! HES ONE OF SONIC'S FRIENDS! THAT'S WHY! Anymore questions? No? GO F&%$ING FIND HIM!" He demands.

Everyone scatters in different directions to where he might have gone.

Zeke lays there dealing with the pain thinking to himself. "Am one of Sonic's friends? Is that really why you f&$ shot me down? We were both going to be taken away no matter what. …Dammit… get off my foot."

Barely able to see anything through the leaves he hears the Leader asks in anger. "What? What do you mean that you're going back to base? …Okay. That's a good idea. If you see anything let me know." He hears someone walks away.

The Leader turns on the Jeep as it vibrates on his ankle.

Zeke braces himself and gets ready for the Jeep to move. The tire spins on his ankle as pain unlike nothing he ever felt rushes through his entire body. The Jeep rushes forward setting him free.


Staying in the leaves making sure everyone was gone; he drags himself to the closest tree not looking at his foot. Reaching the tree placing his hand on it, he rolls onto his back and takes a look. His entire white sock on his left foot was coated in red blood. Slowly rising up, he takes off his shoe expecting it to look bad but his foot was alright. It was his ankle that suffered the worst fate. He was about to remove his sock but then stops. He was dreading how it was going to look like. Resting his back against the tree, he looks towards the west deeper into the forest where his exit lies, but then he looks back to his ankle. He shakes his head. "Nope, that idea has been officially shattered… literally."

He looks back to the BOA's base. "I have to go back and hide somewhere in there. I know Sonic will come sooner or later." He pulls out the set of keys and goes through them all to unlock his handcuffs then tosses them away.

He uses the tree to help him stand up. Barely putting pressure on it was enough to even hear his bones on his ankle grind on each other. "Crap… I can't even stand on it let alone even try to walk." He breaks a branch to lean on it for support. "Ok… ok. Mostly all the BOA soldiers are out looking for me and the kid. I can sneak back into the base and into one of the buildings and hope to find the infirmary"

He looks at the base and sees the biggest building out of all of them. "That one." He sneaks back onto the base and hopes for the best. He staggers his way towards the building seeing that its three stories tall. Making sure not to enter the front entrance, he limps around the back of the building to find an entrance. Seeing a door he checks it, but it's locked. "Damn." He looks around and sees a window and it's slightly open. "One way or another... I'm coming inn." He opens it even more and squirms his way through.


Inside he notices that it's the storage room. He checks around for anything for his foot but nothing. Being a bit dark he looks at the light switch thinking about turning it on. He takes one step forward to it as the door opens.

Zeke quickly hides behind containers.

The guard steps in with shotgun in hand. He turns on the lights and scans the room with the gun. Walking in, he checks behind containers and storage boxes as Zeke quietly sneaks around them. He walks back to the middle of the room giving up. "F&%$ing sensors are screwing up." He mutters annoyed. Just as he heads to the exit, he stops and turns his head to the open window. "SHIT!-"

Zeke grabs him from behind making sure to keep his arm around his neck and squeeze hard. Dropping the Shotgun, they struggle back and forth as they slam into crates and walls until the struggle lessens. Bit by bit the guard falls asleep. With his body motionless, holding on still, he staggers back pulling the body away and hides him in the corner. Zeke then goes back and picks up the shotgun. Making his way to the exit, he turns off the lights, leaving the room.


Looking out into the hallway he stops and thinks. "Alright… motion sensors and cameras. I really have to be careful. Where is the Infirmary? Need to find a map or directions." Slowly making his way down the corner of the hallway it leads to another hallway but looking up he notices a camera. Waiting for it to turn away he quickly staggers his way under it. The camera turns its way back from where he came. He also looks back down the hallway… seeing his blood on the floor he left behind. "Shit." He quickly looks down at his foot seeing it worse than before. His sock was completely drenched in blood. He must've agitated it while struggling in the Store Room not realizing it.

Looking back up at the camera, it turns back the other way… then stops midway and goes back… and stops again. "F&$%, they see it." He staggers down the hallway and around the corner. Hearing a door open a soldier exits out with gun in hand making his way to the blood stain. "He's going to call for help… I have to stop him."

He quietly staggers back to the soldier in hoping he can reach him in time. Reaching him and pointing the shotgun the soldier stops and turns back around seeing Zeke.

The Soldier just stands there looking, not saying anything. Zeke also just stands there not saying anything back thinking about what to do hesitating to shoot him or not. The Soldier quickly aims at him but Zeke closes his eyes pulling the trigger, firing at the soldier sending him flying a couple of feet back.

After hearing the shot-gun blast go off… he slowly opens his eyes seeing his body on the floor in the center of the hallway. "Oh shit." Looking further down sees his handgun on the floor. He picks it up and shoves it into his pocket. About to limp back down the hallway, he stops and looks at the room he came out of. Looking inside it was the security room.


Stepping into it, he looks to the right seeing a map of the building. He staggers to it. "Infirmary… where is it? It's… here. 3rd floor? THE 3rd FLOOR? WHO THE F%$# PUT'S IT ON THE 3rd FLOOR?!" In pain but knowing he has no choice but to go to it. He takes a step back. "Dammit." He looks at the security monitors and limps to them, "Eyes all over the place." One of the cameras gets his attention. "Woah! Who are you?" He says seeing a huge soldier walking around on camera. "It's going to take more than a shotgun to take your ass down."

Still looking at the monitors and right before leaving he notices that one of them is turned off. Under the screen has no name on it. "Why are you off?" He turns it on. His heart skips a beat and couldn't believe what he was looking at. "No… can't be…" He steps away in disbelief numb to the pain on his foot. He looks back at the monitor. "He's here…. Infinite… is here." He mumbles seeing Infinite restrained to a machine. "Does Sonic even know?" He heads to the exit.


Exiting he heads towards the 3rd floor… painfully climbing the steps slowly. "No wonder they're pissed and angry all the time. 3rd floor… what the f&%$?" He gets to the 3rd floor, reaching the Infirmary. Entering he sees a mid-size room with couple tables and beds. He goes through the cabinets looking around for alcohol, swabs, medical straps and pain killers. He puts his foot on a table removing his sock and gets to work.

He lies down once he was done to relax hoping the pain killers kick in quick… He then hears heavy footsteps at the door. He quickly rises up and sees that big figure that was on the camera standing at the doorway. "Oh shit." Zeke looks up and sees the camera above the door. "Dammit."

The soldier radio goes off. "Levi, have you seen anything yet?"

Zeke just sits there and realizes that the shotgun and handgun was at the other side of the room. Levi goes for his radio. Before Levi can answer Zeke taunts, "GO AHEAD! BE A B&%$# AND ASK FOR HELP, SINCE YOU CANT TAKE ME ON BY YOU'RE SELF!"

Levi holds the radio in his hands and clips it back to his side and smirks. He then walks into the room and closes the door.

Zeke takes a deep breath and gets ready for the worst fight in his entire life.


He stands up and balances on one foot. Once balanced… he looks back at Levi and notices just how bigger he was. Zeke was considered tall but never felt intimidated by anyone before. Slightly looking up at Levi he knew that he was in trouble. Looking at his arms packed with muscle on top of muscle, Levi was a grappler. Getting grabbed by him was going to be the worst possible thing that can happen. The problem was… I… can't… move. Not on one foot.

Levi walks towards him but as he's about to be at arm's reach, Zeke lunges at him throwing a quick right. He dodges backwards then knees him back in the gut. He then delivers a hard left punch to his face turning Zeke around, almost losing his balance. Levi then grabs him from behind as a bear hug and starts to squeeze lifting him up.

"GAAhhh!" Zeke shouts out. He puts his foot on cabinets and pushes off of it causing Levi to stumble backwards colliding to the nearest wall. Feeling his head close to his, he swings his head back colliding with Levi's face over and over.

Levi shakes his head from the impact and then swings Zeke around tossing him to tables as he bounces off of them, landing on the floor.

Staggering up to his foot, using the table, he sees Levi walking to him growling. Looking at his forehead, he notices he was injured from a previous fight. Just as he's about to get close to throw a punch at him, Zeke puts both hands on the table and pushes it into his gut making him lean forward. With his head low enough, he lets go of the table then grabs his head and bashes it into the table.

Levi then grabs the table and flips it up and over Zeke almost hitting him.

After Zeke ducks under the table as it flies over him, he springs upward punching Levi in the face causing him to stagger back giving him a chance to punch again and again.

Levi puts an arm up blocking one of the punches and throws an upper cut.

Zeke staggering backwards trying to avoid it, he loses his balance in the process.

Levi then lunges forward tackling Zeke, slamming him to a wall. While holding him in place… he steps on his foot.

"GRRAAAHhhhh! YOU F%$&ING B%$!" Zeke yells out and bites down on Levi's arm making him growl back in pain.

Angering Levi, he slams him to the wall again releasing from his bite. He then delivers a devastating left hook to his face. A right body blow and then a straight hard right punch to the face. He then grabs Zeke by the collar and by the midsection and then throws him clear across the room making him smash into cabinets.

Zeke slams back onto the floor as glass sprinkles all around him.

Having a hard time trying to stand, he gets back up and just stands there and sees Levi slowly makes his way to him. "Everything… everything hurts. Can hardly stand anymore that-" His hand bumps into something… it's the alcohol container that he was using. He grabs it and throws it at Levi splashing him in the eyes.

Levi tries to wipe it out of his eyes but Zeke comes in with a punch to the face. Not being able to see, he throws a right punch to Zeke.

Zeke not only does he ducks the punch as it flies over his head, but also manages to hoist him over onto his back and with all the weight onto just his right leg, he picks up Levi and throws him out a window.

Zeke then collapses on the floor in pain. He looks at the window and picks himself up to look out of it. "I didn't hear a splat. Why wasn't there a-" Looking out the window. "Lucky b%$#&. He landed on the bushes." He lies back onto the floor and puts another pain killer into his mouth. "I have to hide somewhere. Wait for Sonic to show up."

He gets back up and heads to the exit.


Back to the 1st floor, passing by the security room again, he stops and looks at the security monitors again. He looks down to his shotgun and then back to them again.

He limps into the room going to them. Holding onto the shotgun, and just when he's about to aims at them…- "Release… me…" He hears a voice knowing who said it. He Looks at Infinite on the monitor with every emotion rushing into him. Hate, anger, disgust, rage… but then all of them go away, as sympathy over takes them all. He sighs, "Dammit… Sonic. You're going to have a lot to explain from this." Aiming the shotgun he pulls the trigger destroying the security system. Once he was done, he leaves and exits out of the building.

"I'm better off hiding outside then in a building." Looking around he sees a spot. "Perfect. Hide their behind those containers next to that wall and just wait." He sighs limping to it. "I hope that kid is doing okay out there and having a better time than I am."


Rewind


Ready… Aim… Fire… The missile fires up into the sky and once reaching the appropriate height, it locks onto Zeke's aircraft and heads right towards him.

Target has been hit. Target crashed into the western side of the base. Curtis and Craig are on their way to capture them. Yes, Curtis has been reminded countless of times to capture them alive.

Craig arrives late to the crash site. He exits out of the car and sees Curtis punching Zeke over and over again. He then grabs his throat, "WHERE'S THE F&%$ING KID!" Curtis orders.

"I WAS ALONE!" Zeke shouts back.

"Alright, hard way it is." He says looking at one of the soldiers giving him a nod.

A BOA soldier standing next to Zeke raises the back end of his rifle and hits him in the back of the head. Zeke collapses on the ground.

Craig watching Zeke fall over from the blow to the back of the head and once he hits the ground, he notices a bush move. Keeping a close eye on it, he sees it slightly move again confirming that he's right. He smirks thinking to himself, "The kid is in there."
