"Okay how the rescue efforts in Night Carnival going?" A Restoration member said to the radio, his one hand holding a pencil and the other a paper to get as much information as they can before they lose contact due to the weather. The storms have been acting up again. It was pretty calm for the past few weeks, but it seems for whatever reason it has been climbing up in aggression once again.

"...What?" The Restoration member froze. Over the frequency the man on the other siderepeatedwhat he said"...

Restoration's recaptured Night Carnival... searching for civilians... building refuge sites... Eggman supply lines to ... destroyed."

The Restoration member could not believe his ears. However he wasn't done yet, as much as he wanted to rush to command, he had to record all of the information he the man had

" Uh okay! Is there anything else I need to know?" He asked. Getting ready to stand up.

There was a short silence

"...No."

The Restoration member jumped out of his seat and began his run up the several train cars, crashing into other members and refugees as raced to Jewel, the leader of the Restoration.

Finally reaching the command car of the train he falls to floor, trying to catch his breath. Finally getting on his feet he is greeted by a gaggle of confused glances.

" What's wrong?" One of commanding staff ask.

"Wrong? No, nothing wrong! In fact somethings right!"

"Well what?"

" Our forces captured Night Carnival!"

Jewel, who was still somewhat distracted by a folder she was holding quickly turned towards the soldier.

" W-wait. Really?"

"If the report I was given is correct than it seems so!"

"Great, that is fantastic-"

A loud boom rang out, shaking the entire train. Soon the shaking escalated into the whole train nearly toppling over." What on earth?" Jewel said before the train came crashing down back on the track. The train screamed down the track as the conductor fully pulled the brakes. Soon the train came to a halt. Confused and worried the fighter slowly began to run back. Smoke filled more and more of the cars as he moved further back.

Finally he reached a car that was so full of smoke that he just couldn't go further. However something else caught his attention. Two red glowing eyes made their way closer and closer to the towards him.

The fighter tensed as he saw them rush towards him at full pace. Slamming into his body Metal Sonic sent the poor man flinging back through the train. On the ground and in pain he tried to crawl away, but soon he felt the pressure of foot stepping on him. Looking forward the fighter could see his fellow soldiers cowering ahead of him.

Frustrated he fought against the pain and used all his might to push against the foot of Metal Sonic. Metal pressed hard pushing the soldiers back to the limit. However against all odds the soldier managed to fling himself to the side, escaping metals grasp. Now it was his turn.

He kicked the mechanical copy in the face sending him back. Looking to the other fighters he yelled."Some help would nice!"

" Oh, yeah right." One of them said rushing into help,the others following close behind. Looking towards Metal again the soldier saw the Robot throwing a punch towards him. Dodging back the soldier looked around for anything better his fists to fight with.

"We got some wisp-rifles further back!"

One of them said." Alright, find I'll stall him." The said before being punted by Metal Sonic. Struggling to get up he grabs one of the command center lining the car. Using it to frust himself forward he rolls back to his feet.

Looking at said command center, Metal Sonic grabs it, ripping from the train walls he kicks it forward towards the soldier. Think fast the man grab catches it with his hands as he skids backwards.

His aggression increasing Metal fires a rocket at the computer, but the soldier runs back avoiding the explosion.

Ahead of him the soldier could see his comrades up ahead. They had set up a makeshift barricade to take cover behind. The soldier continued running.

Making his way towards his friends.

Behind him Meltal Sonic had actived his jet booster and began racing forward. Knowing their was no way to reach them in time the soldier simply dove down onto the ground.

Taking the hint the Restoration fighters that had been helping him all this time opened fire on Metal. The Wisps stunned and dented the robot.

Metals anger and rage increased tenfold. Their was no way these lowly fighters were countering him. They shouldn't stand a chance against him. Metal Sonic, the rival to the infamous hedgehog? While he knew he wasn't as good as Sonic, was he really struggling simply pawns?

Metal fired a barrage of missles. While some were destroyed by wisps. Many slammed into the barrier, destroying it and sending the Restoration fighters flying back. They slammed into ground none of them got up. Looking back at the soldier he slowly walked forward. Turning around the soldier rose his fist at Metal. Ready to slam his face into the floor Metal rushed at the fighter.

He was intercepted by fist slamming down on him from above. Knocked to the ground metal was practically screaming on the inside.

He turned to see Knuckles.

"Yeah, sorry it took so long! Knew something was off when this train just sat for awhile." The echidna said.

Metal didn't even wait for Knuckles to pay him any mind. He immediately turned on his jet booster and slammed into the echidna. As the two flee out of the train they came crashing down onto the ground.

"Woah, what's got you upset?" Knuckles said with genuine confusion. Metal took a second to think about that, at which he could quickly hear MW yelling at him.

" Can you here me?"

"Yes. Yes I can now."

" What happened to you there? I've never seen this mad. Well yet. Maybe your always this angry."

"Listen, I'm fine just let me deal with this fool and then we can communicate."

"Hey! To your left!" MotherWeather yelled at Metal. Looking left metal could see a tank rushing towards him. It was too late, the tank plowed into himsending him to the ground. The tracks crushed his legs. The Metal was left speechless.

"Want to talk now?" MW said with snarkin her voice.

"What the?" Knuckles said as finally got a good look at the tank. It was oddly bright with it colors with blue and yellow paint on various parts. A large G painted on the turret.

"Wait. No. I thought G.U.N was disbanded!"

The soldier along with Jewel and other high ranking staff made their way towards the tank." Knuckles!" Jewel called." I didn't take for the type to drive stuff."

" oh hey miss- something. Sorry to say, but I didn't do this."

"Then who did?"

Jewel would soon get her answer as the group could hear a helicopter flying towards them. As the helicopter made its way to land Knuckles slowly moves towards Metal to get a better look at the robot. Eventually the helicopter lands and the door opens, releasing a group of heavily armed soldiers. In the middle of them was a man in a suit full of metals and colorful stitching.

" Pick up the robot and throw him with the other one." The fox said before walking up to Jewel. After getting uncomfortable close he smirked.

" Your the head of the Restoration right?"

"Yes-yes I am."

"Great, well let me introduce myself. I am Whitey. Head of the newly reformed G.U.N. While I respect your efforts to solve this crisis that was created by your own allies. We'll be taking it from here."

Knuckles looked at the man." What's that supposed to mean? Can't you just help them-" Knuckles said before having a gun shoved in his face. Whitey pulled out a gun and aimed at the soldier. A shot rang out as the soldier fell to the ground. Jewel was petrified, she had heard of the brutality of G.U.N and their actions, but this was one of the first of she had seen it up close.

It didn't take long before the gun turned to face her.

Another shot ran out. Jewel to the ground alive, but in critical condition.

Turning towards Knuckles he directs his troops to move the echidna into helicopter. Looking forward Knuckles could see multiple helicopters and soldiers making their way towards the train.

He wasn't sure where they'd be taking him or what was going to happen. All he can hope for is that here ca deal with these G.U.N jerks.
