Chapter 7: GUN's Secrets

The GUN general sat in his office behind his desk, he was in deep thought about this new…predicament. It should have been dealt with years ago, but due to the special request years ago by one of their top scientists it had been dealt with in another way.

It didn't matter now, it was in the past and the past couldn't be changed. But he could change the future by dealing with this threat here and now. He pressed the button on the intercom and Eggman's face appeared on a small screen in front of him.

"Dr. Eggman, is the weapon finished"

"The weapon has a name you know…" his voice could be heard through the radio beneath the screen, he sighed as he continued "Yes he is up and running do you want me to send him out"

"Yes"

Eggman seemed to press a button and then turned to face the screen again, one eyebrow raised "General I still don't understand why you want the bounty hunter dead, after all he is one of the heroes he helped Sonic in his fight with Streak…"

The General looked away from the screen: "It's a long story Doctor"

The Doctor's brow furrowed: "I have a life sentence…"

"Maybe some other time Doctor…"

With that the General pressed the button again and the screen went blank. He pressed another button and the doors to his office opened, an armed GUN marine entering.

"Lieutenant, bring me Trance"

"Yes sir" he then saluted and left, the doors closing automatically behind him.

OOO

"What! What is going on!"

The lone black wolf was illuminated by a searchlight and surrounded by no less that fifty GUN drones, all of which were armed with stun cannons. A voice came over a speaker: "Robotnik operative! You are trespassing on GUN territory!"

Nite growled as he fell into a fighting stance.

"I work for no Robotnik!"

With that he leaped at the lead robot with astounding speed and smashed right through it in a small explosion, landing gracefully in his stance behind its remains.

"And no one will stop me from my revenge!"

With that it leaped into the air again bouncing from drone to drone destroying each and everyone as he smashed through it with tremendous ease. So there was little more than pieces of trash that were once machines lying around the area.

"Hmph" he stood up straight, crossing his arms over his chest with a slight grin "Useless chunks of metal…"

Just then a huge robotic hand shot out from the shadows grabbing the wolf from behind and lifting him high into the air. It was holding on so tight that Nite couldn't even move.

"ENEMY CAPTURED" came a robotic voice as a more advanced GUN machine walked out from its hiding place, it had tank like tracks to move and its upper body was very similar to many of the standard GUN walkers, only much more durable.

"That's what you think…" with that Nite started to push with all his might, slowly forcing the robot's claw like hand to open. That was until a powerful electrical current shot through his entire body incapacitation him.

"REPEAT: ENEMY CAPTURED"

"No…not…now…" the wolf mumbled weakly before the last of his consciousness left him.

"You alright mate?"

The bounty hunter turned to his purple friend and forced a smile as he nodded.

"Yeah…head's just a little fuzzy…"

"You want me to slow down?" Amy spoke up form the front; she was currently dragging the two behind her as she had done with Cream and Big many times before. Nite just shook his head.

"No thanks…the sooner we get to Prison Island, the sooner we can get all of this sorted out"

With that Amy sped up, the three traveling towards GUN's Prison Island in search of information on their friend's past, who knows just what they will find.

OOO

Trance the wolf looked as if she were only fifteen even though she was much older. Her fur was a glossy snow white in colour and her eyes were a deep brown. She was wearing a white lab coat with a purple sleeveless top and skirt beneath. Her gloves were a very pale pink and her shoes were the same colour as her skirt and top.

She was sitting at her desk working on her computer, her desk was quite messy actually with various notes and books and a few bundles of paper and other stationary scattered over it, next to her computer was a picture framed in gold.

A picture of her younger self, maybe about twelve and the one she had to give up to save his life. They were both smiling happily, both with one arm over the others' shoulders and giving the V for victory sign. She missed those days, when they would just talk and have fun, even if they weren't allowed to leave the old GUN base, it was some of the happiest years of her life. Now all that kept her going was the thought that maybe, just maybe he was still out there, living a happy life regardless of his past actions.

Just then the lieutenant from earlier walked in.

"Miss Trance, the General would like to talk to you"

She smiled at the young lieutenant, he was her friend Jonathan. He had been transferred to the Prison Island base with her when it was rebuilt after the whole Shadow and ARK incident.

"Kay John, I'm on my way" she said happily although secretly was dreading another talk with the General about her past actions, truth be told she really didn't like the pompous jackass.

As she past her friend he placed a caring hand on her shoulder and smiled down to her.

"You have my sympathy T, I'd hate to talk to that blowhard myself"

She smiled up at him and continued on, despite her current predicament. Life was still good.
