"15th of April, 2030, Mobius, 4:45 AM"

So... This is Mobius, looks nice. I'm in a forest, we are still trying to figure out where exactly are we, and while doing that I old them to lunch the drones to get a better view of the area.

Eventually I realised that it's no use staying in one place and I decided to start moving.

"Officer Smith!" I called him, he turned to face me.

"Yes General?" He asked.

"We will start moving, alert everyone to get ready!"

"Yes sir." He saluted and before he left:"You brought the 30,000$ Golden Revolver here?"

"You noticed? Well, I thought I should come in style, and it matches the golden colour on me."

"Whatever sir... Whatever..."


"9:40 AM"

"That place is really nice, the trees around us, the birds, clear sky. All of that makes me relax." I said.

"Yes sir, it's a site appealing for the eyes, but... there's something odd here."

"Odd?" I raised my eyebrows. "What exactly do you mean by that?"

"For start, we didn't find any form civilization here. No signs of those 'Mobians' anywhere. There's nothing but dead silence. I don't like this General."

"I understand your concerns, it even got into me as well, but you shout take into account that we are in the middle of a forest where no one would live in, don't panic."

"Ok, I will trust you on this."

The expedition kept moving for 30 minutes until we found a highway.

"See Smith? Now we just have to follow it to the closest city or town and get to know about them." I said while giving him a strong bat on his back.

"Alright sir, maybe I panicked a little, my bad." He said.

I ordered them to get the convoy on the road and search for any signs to take any direction, we quickly found a small sign written in a very clear English:

"New hill city, 20 kilometers from here, welcome."

But there's something about the sign that made me feel uncomfortable, it looked old and ill-maintained. I didn't like this, maybe something bad happened... And still happening.

"Soldiers! Ready your arms and prepare to fight at any moment!" Hardly I finished my talking, I heard guns' cocking everywhere and everyone was ready for the fight in no time.

"Now we march towards the city! Keep your eyes open and don't lower your guard at all! Understand!?"

"Sir yes Sir!"

"Good! Now move!"

And the convoy started moving, one tank leading the front, and the other guarding the rear.

I really hope there's nothing wrong. But everything around me tells me there is...


"11:40 AM"

We are getting close to the city, we just climb the hill and we will see the city ahead of us.

"Sir are you alright? You seem really intense?" Ali asked.

"I feel there's something really bad is going to happen, that worries me."

"Nothing could be that ba-"

"*click, clack* I don't take chances, and I won't stay in the car, I will continue on foot, it's better to exercise a bit." I opened the door, grabbed my rifle and got out. "And you three are coming with me."

"Yes sir." The three said.

We continued climbing the hill.

Just a little more and we will be on the top... Is there's a problem for real? There's only one way to find out...

I finally was on the top of the hill... and unfortunately... my expectations were right...

Smith:"Oh. My. God."

Ali:"What. Is. That...?"

Kido:"I don't know."

Me:"But I do." I said. "This is a mini hell..."

On the top of the hill we all stood, we all witnessed the same thing...

The entire city was on fire... and totally destroyed... with no sign that anyone survived...

"General Ahmed?"

"Yes Colonel Smith?"

"Let's turn around, return earth, and pretend that we never came here."

"Why should I listen to you?"

"Don't you fucking see it sir!? There's some fucking slaughter going on here, and I don't wanna get involved! What if we dragged that slaughter to Earth? To the U.F.I.S? The work of your life? You won't be happy about that, would you?"

"And what if that slaughter would come to our world sooner or later and we can stop them from here?"

"I agree with General Ahmed Smith." Ali said. "That could very likely, if we can come here, why they won't as well."

"But si-"

"Colonel John Alberto Smith!" I cutted him.

"Yes sir!"

"I won't take anyone's opinion on the matter, I will continue the expedition, find out what the fuck is going in here, make sure whatever is happening here in the world of Mobius ends and never come back, or at least it won't come after us. Understand?!"

"Sir yes sir."

"Good. Don't speak in the matter again." Then I left them to the drones specialists team.

"General!" They all stood and gave the military salute.

"Rest." And they did. "Fly our drones to make a quick patrol around the city and see if there's any threats and if there's anyone alive."

"We'll start now sir." The engineer said, then he hopped on his computer and started flying the drones.

"How is the situation down there?" I asked.

"Apparently, no one is alive, even if there's someone alive it would be impossible to the heat scanners to recognise anything with all city set on fire. Which means..."

"We have to go and check it out by ourselves." I continued his sentence.

"Yes sir, that what I was about to say." He replied.

"Any visible threats?"

"Negative, no visible hostiles in the area."

Now my plan was clear in my head, I will get to the city, search for survivors, try to find any sort of a state or government. All of that just needed to be executed.

I got out of the van and then gave the order to start a Marsh on the burning city to find what happened here...


"12:00 PM"

We are now on the outskirts of the burning city, there's was a what used be a big sign to welcome the ones who enter the city, now it's a big werck, I could recognize one sentence :

"Welcome to New Hill, population : 700,000 citizens Approximately."

Fuck... Poor people, no one deserve such a horrible fate...

As we enter the city itself, there was a view that sickens people...

Many dead bodies on both sides of the streets...

"Holy fuck..." Smith almost threw up from the scene.

"Should we check up the bodies sir?" Kido asked.

"Do it carefully, and don't touch anything with your bare hands, there might be some surprises we don't want to open." I said.

"Yes sir." He said, then he started giving orders to the soldiers. "Check if anyone is still alive!" And they obeyed the orders quickly.

I then noticed an automatic vending machine for selling soda and... Newspapers, that could be helpful, a newspaper will provide me the basic knowledge of what's going on here.

I headed to the machine and surprisingly, found that it's still working, a small sign on top of it said :

"Soda : 3 rings. Mobius today paper: 5 rings. Coins only accepted."

"Ring? That's a weird name for a currency." I said to myself.

I got to the closet corpse by me to find some money to use the machine, it was a red wolf wearing a black framed glasses with a military uniform and having a big belt on his waist, his eyes was opened in horror indicating that he didn't die in peace, a rifle was dropped by him, probably his rifle. That might be one of the city's garrison force. He had his chest opened savagely, I came closer to him and closed his eyes (a way to respect the dead from where I come from) and started to search for any money on him.

I found his wallet and opened it and found his ID:

"Freedom fighters' military ID"

Name: Gadget Rookie Watson.

Sex: male.

Specie: Wolf.

Date of birth: 2/10/2002.

Rank: First lieutenant.

Occupation: Head of New Hill East guards.

"Poor young man, died too early." I thought to myself.

The guy even didn't have that much money, just a 100 rings bill and a 10 coins with him.

"Maybe you will be in a better place now." I said to him before I headed back to the vending machine.

I putted the money and brought the newspaper then I started to read the head article.

"Mobius Today, printed daily since 1900"

12th of April, 2030

ROBOTNIK IS COMING!

The freedom fighters has lost another battle against the superior army of Ivo Robotink yesterday, after the chain of victories achieved over the last three months. Due to supply shortage in the last second. Princess Sally Acorn, the last living member of the Acorn dynasty and head of the freedom fighters, accused G.U.N that they didn't send the supplies as scheduled on purpose to weaken the forces on the frontier. G.U.N didn't response to these dangerous accusations, but whether they are true or not, the 12th offensive army has been demolished from the face of earth and New Hill City is now facing Robotnik's slaughter machine, even if the authorities declared an evacuation it would be too late anyway. It's the end for them and maybe it would be the end for all of us if the Freedom fighters didn't do something to stop the disaster ahead of us.

The rest of the news paper had nothing useful other than that, so I dropped it away.

A lot of questions popped in my head with no answer, what's going on here? Who are the freedom fighters and Ivo Robotnik? Where's the Acorn kingdom? And why that Robotnik fella is massacring people like that? And many more left with no answer.

Then I heard someone screaming behind me.

"GENERAL AHMED! GENERAL AHMED! WE FOUND SOMEONE ALIVE BUT SHE IS STILL UNCONSCIOUS AND ABOUT TO WAKE UP! COME QUICKLY SIR!"

"Coming!" I rushed to see that one survivor.

When I got closer they were around her, I squeezed through to see the lady.

She was a white female wolf with a grey long tail, she was wearing a military uniform, she was in her early twenties I think, she was in really bad condition, and was struggling to wake up.

I searched her pockets to find any identification of her. I found her military ID card.

Freedom fighters' military ID

Name: Lucy Jackson Sandman.

Sex: Female.

Specie: Wolf.

Date of birth: 03/05/2003

Rank: Civilian Volunteer.

Occupation: Member of New Hill East guards.

"Sir! She's awake!"

I putted down the card to see her, her eyes were barely open and clearly doesn't really realize what's going on around her.

"Oh... Whaaa... Robotnik..." She was just saying nonsense.

"Miss Lucy can you hear me?"

She actually started to realize what's around her. She panicked and tried to stay back but couldn't because of her bad status.

"Calm down, you're still badly injured." I reassured her.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?! You clearly aren't from the freedom fighters!"

And she started to look around her, not comfortable at all with all of us around her.

"Why are you staring at me like that?! Are you going to rape me?!"

"What?! No! No, no, we won't do anything just calm down." I said.

"I won't calm down until you tell me who are you?!"

"Would you believe us if we told you that we are from another dimension and we just arrived this morning?"

"What kind of bullshit is this?!"

"Do we look like we are joking or messing around here!?"

"Fuck off! Just stay out of my way." And she tried to get up, but the soldiers pushed her back to the ground.

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

"Not before you answer some questions that I need to get its answers then I will let you go, got it?"

"Just be quick jerk!"

"I will pretend that I didn't hear that last word. Now tell me, what happened to Acorn kingdom?"

"Acorn? They collapsed 9 years ago. They all died expect for Princess Sally Acorn who fights against Robotnik."

"And who's Robotnik?"

"That human bastard! His name disgusts me!"

"Hold up! Did you say human?" Kido asked in confusion.

"Yeah, is there's something about that?"

"No... Not at all, keep going." Kido said.

"Anyway, That guy came out of the nowhere 20 years ago with a crazy goal, Robotization of all Mobius."

"What!? Do you mean... Turning everyone into robots?"

"Yes." The she-wolf said.

I got a headache from hearing what have I heard, I was going back and forth rubbing my head from the shock I just got.

I calmed down after a minute and sat down on the ground.

"Who are the freedom fighters?"

"What's remained from Mobius, the last people who fight against Robotnik and his robots."

"Do you remember what happened here?"

She rubbed her head a little.

"We and my mates were holding the line against the robots, the situation was dire, but we were holding because we were told that we will get reinforcements soon, but that never came, instead we got bombed to death and some wild shell exploded by me and lost conciseness. That happened around 8:20 AM. What happened to the city?"

"You didn't notice yet?" I rubbed the back of my head.

"What?" I could hint a tone of concern and worry.

"When we came... Everyone was dead, you are the first alive person to witness until now."

"W-w... What? Everyone? Th-... this can't be true!"

"I know it's hard to believe, but denying what happened won't do any good."

"Shut up! I don't give a damn about you!" And she violently stood up and pushed everyone was in her path.

Then she started screaming:"GADGET! GADGET WHERE ARE YOU?! ANSWER ME GADGET!"

Could it be...

"Hey, miss Lucy! Wait a minute!" I ran after her.

When I got closer she pulled a gun and pointed it at my face.

The whole army pointed their rifles at her.

That was one hella of a Mexican standoff.

"What do you want from me again?!"

"Just put down the gun, you would lose your life if you tried anything stupid."

"I don't care about you! I just want to find my husband and my son!"

"Is Gadget a red wolf?"

"What?" She drawed the gun away.

"He's wearing a black framed glasses, right?"

"Y- yes."

"He's head of New Hill east guards, current?"

"Yes! Yes, that right." Tears was flooding from her eyes. "Where have you seen him?"

"Lady Lucy...I have found your husband... but..."

"What happened to him?!" She screamed. "Answer me!"

"I found him few blocks back, he was savagely murdered..."

Her eyes widened. "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! That can't be right, I can't believe it! I won't believe it!" And she fell on her knees and started crying like crazy.

"I'm sorry for your lose." And was about to go leave her but I heard some weird noise coming from afar.

Then, horde of robots appeared from a nearby street and started firing at me.

I dodged the bullets and took cover to the nearest car I found.

"Intruders! Engage the enemy!"

They all got closer and started firing on the robots.

"It's not working! The bullets doesn't penetrate them." One soldier said.

"Find any weak points!" I said then I leaned behind my cover to see if there's any weaknesses in it, I realized that the eyes are badly armored. I aimed to the eyes of one of them and shot a few bullets on the eye...

That actually worked and the robot shut down.

"The eyes! Shoot the eyes and it will break down!" I cried.

And they started shooting on the eyes as I have said and the robots started breaking down, but there was too many.

"Tanks B-110 and C-30 we need your support now!"

"Copy that, coming now hot."

"In a minute sir."

A couple of minutes later the tanks got to the fight, with unmatched force, the robots were turned into scraps and the few remaining robots escaped.

With no deaths or injuries among us, the soldiers cheered and shouted slogans of victory.

"No time for celebration!" I shouted. "We are in a hostile territory! And we have to leave in one piece! So start moving!"

And before I leave I heard a weak voice calling me from behind. "Please... wait..." It was Lucy's.

I turned around to see the she-wolf was on the ground in a bad shape and got shot in her arm during the gun fight.

"Help me... Don't leave me here..." She begged.

I walked to her and helped her to stand up.

"You are my responsibility until we find somewhere safe for you, no need to worry about anything." I reassured her.

"Thank you sir." She said. "But I... Want a favor."

"What do you want?" I asked.

"I want to give my husband a proper burial, and I want to see if my son is still alive." She said. "I know that is hard now but please unde-"

"I have no problem with that, I understand your feelings as a mother and a wife, but you won't go anywhere since you need treatment, just give us a picture of your son and where we can find him."

"You really gonna do that for me?"

"Yes, that would be my pleasure." I said.

"Thank You again mister..."

"General Ahmed Atrees in your service ma'am." I said.

"Thanks again General Ahmed." She grabbed a photo from her pocket and gave it to me. It was for a small male wolf with a light red fur and with a blue eyes.

"That's my son, his name is Gadget Junior, he's 8 years old. I left him with our neighbour in mid town."

I pulled a note and started writing. "Where exactly in mid town?"

"31st. district, 37th. road, building number 506, fifth floor, apartment number 35."

I wrote the address in case I forgot it. "Now you stay here, I will send a squad to retrieve your husband's body, and I will go personally to find your son." I turned to the soldiers. "Get a medic around here! And Smith, Kido and Ali, come here!"

The medics headed to the she-wolf to treat her while the three others were standing with me.

"Listen, I want to launch a rescue mission here, the child of that lady is trapped in mid town, I want to get 10 men to come with me to find him. Do you agree?"

"Sir, we can't stay here an extra minute here, if more robots came, we would be in a deep trouble." John said.

"I'm aware of that, so the rest of the expedition will leave the city and wait for us."

"Sir that not a good idea. What makes you think that you would find him alive anyway!?"

"Keep it quiet! She can hear us!" I said. "If your child was lost, wouldn't you do anything to take him back?"

"I never had a child, so I don't need to worry about such a thing." He said coldly.

"I'm going and you will take the rest of the expedition outside the city until I return, that's an order! Understand!?"

"If anything happened to us because of your sympathy for a stranger you would be the only responsible!"

"Nothing would happen! Just stick to my orders and shut up!" I glared at him.

After that intense conversation I sent a team to retrieve the body, the second team who would go with me will find the child. The rest abandon the city and wait in a safe distance outside it.


"1:20 PM"

After getting lost 5 times and being forced to hide from the robot patrols, I finally found the building she described to me.

There was two problems though...

First: the building was surrounded with robots that would be hard to sneak around it.

Second: the building itself was really damaged from fire, so it was really unlikely to have someone alive, but I am willing to take a risk to find that child.

"So, what's the plan sir?" One soldier asked.

"I need a distraction to give me a chance to slip in and then I go inside and find the boy and get out and we all leave."

"Sounds simple, but what is the distraction?"

"I'm thinking of a C4 explosion, that should be enough to send them away, you do it in 3 minutes, and I initiate radio silence until I break it, everyone understand?"

"Yes sir." They all sir.

"Very well. 'Bessm Allah moutahiden' (by the name of Allah we are united.)"

"Bessm gaurihi monkasirin! (By the name of others we are divided!)" They replied in excitement.

"Let's move it men!" Everyone went to their position, and I sneaked behind a car and waited for the big distraction.

*Boom*

The explosion sent the robots away, and I took the opportunity to enter before they return.

Inside the building was full of smoke which made me cough really hard.

And HOLY GOD the dead bodies were everywhere, I was about to puke from the scene, I seriously started to doubt that I will find the boy alive.

I climbed the stairs until I found the apartment. The door was locked and there's no signs of an assault, that's a relief.

I knocked on the door and waited for an answer.

"This is the military open up!"

"Oh thank God! Just a minute sir!" A feminine voice said.

The door opened to find a female blue-and-white wolf.

"Thank you for comi- wait a minute... You aren't from the freedom fighters!" And she was about to close the door but I blocked it with my foot.

"Listen ma'am let me explain."

"I don't want a looter inside my house! Get out or I will shoot you!" She pointed a gun to me.

"Lucy sent me to get her son, Gadget Junior." I explained.

"Why should I believe you?" She tightened her grib on the pistol.

"She gave me his photo, look!" I showed the boy's picture to her. She seems to understand.

"W- why didn't she or Gadget come here to take the boy!?"

"Gadget is dead, and she's injured and can't move."

"What!?" She was really shocked.

"Please ma'am there's no time to waste, the robots will block the entrance any time soon."

"Who is on the door aunt Soffy? Is it mommy?" A voice of a child said from inside.

"Stay inside honey, it's not safe here." She said.

"You can't go anywhere alone, please ma'am trust me, I can get you out."

She stayed silent for a while, thinking.

"Fine I will go with you, just wait until I grab my things." She said.

"Ok, but be quick." I said.

"Please wait inside until I am done." She said and let me in, that's when I saw the boy I came for, Gadget Junior.

"Who is that mister aunty?" He asked.

"That's the guy who will get us out, behave until I return." Then she went inside.

"Hey there little buddy." I got closer to the boy. "What's your name?"

"My name is Gadget Junior, but they call me only Junior." He said. "What's your name sir?"

"Just call me uncle A." I said to him.

"Where's mommy?" The boy asked.

"We will be soon with her, don't worry." I said to him.

Then, the Soffy entered with a small bag with her. "We are ready to go." She said.

"Very well." I said to her. "I hope that gun of yours isn't for show, because you might use it."

"It's not." She said. "Just worry about yourself."

We climbed down the stairs until we reached the ground floor.

"General Ahmed Atrees breaking radio silence. I got the package with me. What is the situation out there? Over."

"This is Sargent Major Mostafa Aziz, The robots have left the area completely. I repeat, the robots have left the area completely. The road is clear to leave the area with the package. Over."

"I'm heading out now, over and out."

I turned off the radio and turned to them. "The road is clear. Go out carefully."

We got out of the building to the street.

"Where are you?"

"There's a restaurant called 'Chili chaos' just the other side of the street, we are hiding in it."

"I saw it, coming to you now." I turned off the radio. "Follow me quickly."

We all run to the place.

I opened the door quickly and after we all entered I shut down the door quickly.

Then Sargent Mostafa (who was a black fox) came from the kitchen holding a plate of pasta and meatballs. "So you are the little cute pub who gave us all that trouble? You must be hungry, take this." And he gave him the plate, and without any second thoughts, Junior took the plate of pasta and started eating quickly.

"Careful boy." Soffy said. "You will have a stomach ache later if you ate too quickly."

Mostafa then turned to face me. "The place here is incredible sir, they have a good collection of fish, meat, and vegetables."

"I'm sure we aren't here for the food." I said. "Is there's any vichale we can use to get out?"

"There's a couple of vans in the backdoor of the place, we are trying to make the engine work and we can get out then. Just give us 10 minutes and we will be ready to go."

"We don't have 10 minutes, work as fast as you can!"

"I will try sir." And he left to the backdoor.

I sat on the table by Junior and Miss Soffy to try and calm down a little.

"Soooo... Who are you people?" Soffy asked. "You seem like a military, but not our military."

"An expedition army came from another dimension."

"Is this some kind of a joke?!"

"That's what Mrs. Lucy said to me when she heard me and I will give you the same answer: Do we look like we are joking around here?"

"Why did you come here then?"

"We found this by accident and we decided to come here to meet new civilizations, but we instead we found this war-torn land."

"You should really stay out of this, you don't want your people to be involved in this blood pool." She said.

"I will decide later, now my main objective is to get you all out safely."

"Why are caring for us?"

"You, Mrs. Lucy and her son are probably the last living people in this city, saving someone from this hell makes my day."

"You seem like a nice person, what's your name sir?"

"General Ahmed Atrees, in your service miss."

Then one soldier came from the backdoor. "Sir! The vans are on and we can leave now."

"Good. Let's go!" And we rushed to the vans and after everyone was inside we drove our way out of the city.

"The rescue mission is complete sir." One said.

"Don't relax, we still have a lot ahead of us. "I said. Then I opened the radio.

"General Ahmed calling Colonel Smith, do you copy? Over."

"I'm here, did you kill everyone with you and asking for a rescue?"

"You need to learn how to talk like a sane person, and no, I didn't, I found the boy and we are on our way to you, so be ready for us, over."

"We are always ready sir, over and out."


"2:20 PM"

We finally reached the camp and Mrs. Lucy was waiting for us, and as soon as the van stopped Junior ran from the van to his mother.

"Mommy!"

"Junior!"

And they ran to each other and she hugged him so hard.

"I was really scared mom, these robots were killing everyone alive and *sobs* and-"

"Shhhhh, don't worry Junior, you are safe now, there's nothing to worry about. Nothing at all."

"Where's dad mommy?"

He stunned her with his innocent question.

"He's... H- he..."

The boy started to cry on his mother's shoulder, realizing what happened to his father.

"He promised me that he will return! Why mommy? Why!?"

"I'm sorry son. I'm really sorry." And the boy kept crying on his mother's shoulder.


"2:35 PM"

Two soliders have finished digging the grave for Mr. Gadget. And they have put him in the hole and closed the grave with.

"Let's go Mrs. Lucy, we need to move."

"J- just... Give me a minute."

"Please don't take long."

She then walked to the grave and sat on her knees in front of the grave.

"I will miss you Gadget. You'll be always in my heart." And she leaned to kiss the mark of the grave. Then she stood up and headed to me, with a cold face. "We can go now."

"Alright, since I don't have any information on this territory, could you give us an advice where we should head to?"

"To Knothole, it's the capital. It should be a safe place."

"Isn't the Acorn's capital is Metropolis city?" I said while looking in the map of South island.

She took the map from my hand. "Hey! What is that for?"

She took a red marker and made a line in the south part of the island. "Everything under this line is lost for Robotnik's Empire, Including Metropolis, 800 km from the line to the southern coast is what's left for us to survive on it." She said.

"I see." I said. "Where is Knothole then?"

She pointed to it on the the map. "That's Knothole." And then she pointed to another area. "And that's New Hill city, where we are. From here to there should be 4 hours ride."

"Thank you, this information was really valuable." I said.

"It was nothing, but you're welcome." She said.

"You can go now and stay with your son and Ms. Soffy, if you needed anything just call anyone and they would bring it to you."

"Thanks again sir." And she left us.

"John."

"Yes sir."

"Tell me a detailed strength of our force."

"200 elite infantry soldier, 45 officer, 2 tanks, 50 armoured vehicles, 60 trucks, 30 engineer, 25 piece of artillery with their crews, 50 motars, 30 Anti-aircraft system, one drone team and one research team."

"Do we have grenade launchers or Rocket launchers?"

"We have both."

"How many?"

"75 grenade launcher and 40 Rocket launcher."

"Here's the plan: you will provide the grenade and rocket launchers to the soldiers for easier engagement with these robots, the tanks and the armoured vehicles will have to use HE shells. Tell them to expect fights at any moment. If we balanced things right, we should be able to stand to these robots."

"Anything else?" He asked.

"We marsh to Knothole."


"7:20 PM."

"This is so fucked up sir." Kido said.

"Yeah, in all levels." Ali continued.

"What should we do now?" Smith asked.

"Be quiet you two and let me think!" I said.

When we reached Knothole, we found that the robots came here first, there was an crazy battle waging between the Mobians and these robots.

I picked my binoculars and took a look, there was around 300 robots, 50 of them were flying, fighting against around 2,000 soldier apparently with no tanks or artillery support. With the power that these robots have, this clearly was uneven conflict.

"Do you want to get involved?" I asked the three.

"You know what? Fuck that! We have gone too far already! Let's send hell on them!" He said.

"That's the spirit!" I said in excitement, then I turned to the soldiers. "Prepare the artillery for shelling, let's give them hell!"

In 20 minutes, the artillery were set up along with the Anti-aircrafts to protect it.

"Just before we start anything, could you tell us what's your plan?" Kido asked.

"Due to the lack of numbers on our side, we can't directly engage in a battle, we will bomb them instead from the hill we are on, and with the element of surprise they will be shocked, we must destroy as many as we can before they reorganise. And if they turned to us we must keep a distance between us and them. This should give the defenders a chance to fight the robots back and push them away. Sounds like a plan?"

"Sounds like a plan." They replied.

"To artillery units this is General Ahmed, are you ready? Over."

"We are ready sir and will start firing on your command, over."

"On my signal... 3... 2... 1... FIRE!"

*BANG*

*BOOM*

*TOOFF*

And just like that, the bombing started.

From my position I kept track on the impact of the artillery on the ground. The shells hit them hard, they flew in the air from the explosions, they were in looking at every direction searching for the source of the bombing, at the same time, the defenders managed to fight them back as planned, a small horde of the robots tried to attack us but the tanks and the grenade launchers turned them into rubble.

30 minutes later, exactly at 8:10 PM... the robots was demolished permanently.

"We won my men! Glory to Allah!"

"Glory to him!" The soldiers cheered. And everyone started celebrating and cheering happily, I was really excited during that, I felt like I was in one of these Sci-fi films.

"General?"

"Yes Colonel Smith."

"Should we introduce ourselves now?" He asked.

"Yes, we should." I said. "Get one tank and 5 armoured vehicles and 30 soldiers and half of our medical staff and fill one truck with medical supplies, they probably need help. The rest should set a camp here."

"Yes sir." He said.

"And get the three survivors, we will release them there."

We slowly got down the hill and we reached the outskirts of the city.

"Well Mrs. Lucy, I think I have fulfilled my word, I brought you to Knothole, you will be safe here for now."

"I can't thank you enough sir, I don't know how would I have done anything without you." Mrs. Lucy said.

"I'll surely miss that little red foxy boy." I said while playing with Junior's cheeks. Then I gave him a big bar of chocolate candy. "This is a farewell gift from me, I hope you like it."

"Thank you uncle A." Junior said.

"General!" The driver called. "The city's garrison doesn't like our presence in the area, wanna do something about it?"

"I think it's a farewell for us, I hope we will meet again in a circumstances."

"Goodbye sir." Lucy said.

"Bye bye uncle A." Junior said. Then they got down with the truck with me, where a couple of squads were waiting for us, there was a blue hedgehog with green eyes who seemed to be their leader.

"Leave you three." I said to Lucy and Gadget and Soffy, they quickly went away. Then I turned to the blue hedgehog in front of me. "Don't shoot!"

"Who are you?" He asked aggressively.

"Friendly people who helped you against Robotnik's army." I said.

"You are the guys who bombs the hell out of the robots?" He asked.

"Yes, and we came with medical supplies and a medical team to help the injured people of yours." I said. "We came in peace."

The hedgehog's face lightened to a gentle smile. "If you came in peace then you're welcomed. Name's Sonic Murice Oligive the hedgehog, but everyone call me Sonic only, the fastest thing alive, and the second-in-command of the freedom fighters. And what's yours?"

"I'm General Ahmed Atrees, head of the expedition of U.F.I.S in Mobius."

"U.F.I.S? Never heard of that name before." He said.

"Because we are from another dimension." I continued.

"Wait? WHAT!?" His eyes widened. "Are kidding me?!"

"No, I don't." I glared at him. "I. Am. Dead. Serious."

"Easy there I believe you, it's not like it's the first time we see someone from another dimension." Sonic said, that made me feel both worried and quite excited. "Please, I would like to invite you to a small party as a thanks for saving our butts today, and to meet Princess Sally Acorn since she's probably the last living member of the Acorn dynasty, I don't know what would have happened if you didn't show up. We can talk more about each other there."

"That would be my pleasure." I said. "But first, I ask from you to allow us to set a small clinic to help your injured people."

"Sure sir, that would help us a lot." Sonic said.

"Tell the medical team to set a clinic here and start their work." I said to Kido.

"In a minute sir." He said.

And in five minutes, they setted a small tent to work in it.

"For how long they will be here?" Sonic asked.

"Until they run out of supplies." I said.

"I still don't get why would you give that much aid for us?"

"I just help people just for the sake of it." I said.

"Your kind is rare nowadays." Sonic said. "Would you come with me please?"

"Yes of course, please join the ride and show us the way Mr. Sonic."

"Your ride? You mean... The tank!?"

"Yes, the tank. Is there's a problem?"

"No, no. You just might scare people."

"Just get in."

"Ok." And he hopped on the tank and sat by me.

During the road, everyone was staring at us strangely, but some girls were brave to get closer and say hi to the soldiers, but no one gave them a damn and kept marching as they are trained not to react with anything on duty. I could overhear some wolf girls saying. "What is wrong with them? They didn't even blink!"

The other girl said. "That's really messed up, are they even normal Mobians?!"

"Heh. If they only knew." I smirked to myself.

"Your men have just ignored some beautiful girls just like that?" He said confused.

"They are trained to ignore anyone or anything as long as they are on duty." I explained.

"But they didn't even take a small peek at them."

"And most of them are already committed to other girls or married."

"I see, although it's hard to understand it."

As we continued the road, some people with cameras suddenly appeared out of the crowds and ran to us.

It was the press, the biggest pain in the ass I ever got.

Before they could get any closer the men prevented them to get further.

"Leave! No press allowed!" The soldier said.

"Please just a few questio-"

The soldiers shot a couple of warning shots in the air.

"No interview! Leave or I will shoot!" The soldier threatened.

"But sir-"

Before he could continue, the soldiers grabbed him and the cameraman and forced them to leave.

"Looks like you don't like the press general."

"Being stalked by journalists everywhere is disgusting."

"I agree."

The ride was silent except for Mr. Sonic's road instructions to the driver.

At last, we reached a big building with a hig sign on it saying: "Headquarters of the Freedom fighters."

"Here we are sir." Sonic said while getting off the tank. "Please come with me."

I did follow him and so did the rest of the soldiers, Mr. Sonic stopped us and said. "Whoa, whoa, easy there. You can't let everyone in if you don't mind."

"No problem." I said, then I turned to them. "Kido! Smith! Bring 5 men with you and follow me, the rest wait for us!"

"Yes general!" They all replied.

After that, Sonic guided us through the complex, the place looked quite old, and cracks was visible on some of the walls.

"They must be in a really bad condition that they can't afford fixing the walls." I thought to myself.

We reached to a big double doors of an office, a small sign on it said. "Her majesty's office. Princess Sally Acorn"

"You will meet Miss Sally now, she could be a bit moody from the stress she is having from the last week. Please don't take anything she said against you."

"No problem with that." I said.

He then opened the door and we all entered the room.

Behind the desk there what seemed to be... A female Chipmunk? This deference in species would put me in trouble.

Anyway she had a brown fur and brown hair, with a sea blue eyes. She was wearing a light gray military uniform, and on the shoulder there was four stars indicating her rank, she was giving her back to us and talking aggressively on the phone.

"What the fuck is this bullshit that you feed me!?... What do you mean you can't deliver the weapons shipment on schedule? We are struggling here! We paid for the guns and we want at least to deliver them on time! ... You know what!? Fuck you!" And she violently hanged up. By then she finally realized our presence here.

"It's G.U.N again?" Sonic wonderd.

"Yes, they don't want to send the arms shipment until 3 weeks from now. Like that we will be fucked." And she slammed her face on the desk, then stood up and pointed at me. "Who are you Minster?" She said in a rude manner.

"Me? No one important. I'm just a stranger who was kind enough to save your ass today by throwing 30 tons of explosives on the robots so that you won't be killed today, and he also was kind enough to bring medical supplies and doctors to heal your injured soldiers. SO SHOW ME SOME RESPECT!"

She was taken aback from my aggressive behaviour. "I- it was you who fired the artillery then?!"

"Yes. The artillery batteries can be seen from here if you look at the hill in the north."

She headed to the window and took a look, I think she saw them very well judging from the surprised expression she had on her face.

She turned to me. "I'm really sorry mister for my rudeness, I'm just under a lot of pressure right now. I'm Princess Sally Maximilian Acorn, the last living member of Acorn dynasty, and currently serves as a director of the freedom fighters organisation fighting against Dr. Ivo Robotnik. Could you introduce yourself sir?"

"I'm General Ahmed Atrees, head of the U.F.I.S expedition in Mobius, we are from a parallel dimension, we found really old documents about your world and we saw that we might benefit each other with 'the peaceful and prosperous kingdom of Acorn' "

"Really? Peaceful? Prosperous?" She chuckled. "That's the worst joke I've heard today."

"The documents were from 1968. That's why it's a joke." I said.

"Yeah, from the golden age of the kingdom, it's just a history now."

"Anyway, since I have been fooled to come to this country I came to a conclusion: Ivo Robotnik could pose a threat to our world, so we might work with you to secure our homeland."

"Why would you take a risk and get involved?" She asked.

"I have seen what he's doing to you closely, the first city I encountered this morning was New Hill city, and nobody. Was. Found. alive. Just three survivors, a kid and his mother and another woman. If that maniac came to our world it won't be different. Finishing him off here would save a lot of lifes, and I will earn the love and trust of these people after all of this is finished. Two birds with one shot."

"You think for ahead, I respect that."

Sonic interrupted us. "Soooo... We have a little party to catch up with, you can come with us and show you to our friends, you in?"

"I would love to come along." I replied.

"Great! Please come with me."


"9:15 AM"

"Everyone!" Sonic said. "Allow me to introduce you to the person who kindly saved us today, General Ahmed Atrees!"

"Welcome sir!" They all greeted me.

"Thank You everyone, I just did the right thing to do." I said humbly.

"Let me show you the gang." Sonic said, then he pointed to a pink... Hedgehog I guess? This is getting on my nerves. She was wearing the same army uniform like the rest, and her eyes were green.

"This is Amy Rose, a very good frien-"

"A Girlfriend of my Sonic." She interrupted.

"Not in front of the stranger Amy!"

"I won't stop until you admit it." She got out her tongue.

"Am I missing something?" I asked, confused by the girl's behavior.

"Let's just say that is I'm the old childhood crush of her and she wants me badly." Sonic said.

"That's enough thank you."

"Don't dare you think I'm useless or a brag for them!" She said angrily. "Let me show you!"

Then suddenly, a big sword appeared out of nowhere in her hand. It was as tall as her and with a pink grip.

"This is called a Picko-Picko sword, and you don't want to mess with me while I hold this in my hand." She said.

I chuckled a little. "What can this butter knife possibly do against armed men? Or the robots?"

"I tore about 1000 robots with it until now. And you will be 1001 on the list." She waved the sword angrily in the air.

"That's would my pleasure to meet my end by such a beautiful girl."

Her face cheeks turned red and she lowered her face to the ground. "T- thank you sir."

"You welcome." I said.

Sonic then pointed to a white hedgehog wearing the same light grey uniform that Princess Sally wears. "That's Silver. He is one important field leader in our army, and have a very special ability."

"What is it?" I asked.

"This sir." Silver said, then there was a blue aura over me and I couldn't control my muscles, then I was floating in the air.

I struggled to speak but I couldn't, I barely managed to raise my arm and gave a sign to my men to stop him, they immediately pointed their guns at him and screamed. "Put the General down now!"

"Alright guys it's not that dangerous." And the aura disappeared around me causing me to fall on the ground, I didn't even have to power to stand up and my arms struggled to support me so that I won't hit the floor with my head. One of the soldiers helped me to stand while I was coughing like crazy.

"It's not that dangerous! *cough, cough* I couldn't breathe or move a muscle back there! And don't dare do something like that again or my men won't hesitate to shoot you! Understand!?"

"I'm really sorry sir I swear I didn't mean to do it that rough. Don't take that against me." He said nervously.

"Whatever." I shrugged.

Sonic pointed then at a young yellow fox with double tails and blue eyes, he wore a blue jeans and white top and he had a tool belt on his waist and a goggles over his head, he was clearly a teenager. "And That's Miles Prower, we call him Tails due to his double Tails, he's the best inventor probably ever existed with an IQ of 300 he always help us with his machines and his inventions."

"Nice to meet you Miles, but how old are you?" I asked.

"I'm 16 sir." He replied.

"Wow, you are really young. Back in my home we usually recruit people like you once we find them and provide them with everything they need to shine, do you have everything you need here kid?"

"We have supply shortage, I usually have to work with robots wrecks and try making something useful. But it's not that bad, I happy with it because I help my friends against Robotnik."

"You have a good spirit boy, keep it up. And if I will stay here you can ask for any supplies and I will provide it in a cheap price."

"Really sir! Thank you!" He said happily.

Sonic finally pointed to the last two, a black hedgehog with red stripes on his arms and quills and red eyes, he basically Sonic's counterpart. He wore a black one-piece suit that usually used by black-ops agent, and the three letters G.U.N was printed on both of his arms, his face was totally emotionless, he was clearly a killing machine.

Standing by him was... a bat girl. Yeah, a bat girl, she had two large black wings on her back like the bats usually have, she had only white fur all over her head, the rest of her skin was tan, she had a teel eyes.

And the clothes... what kind of women wear what she does...

One-piece black suit which only covers her breats leaving the rest of her top body exposed, it was too tight that her body cleavage was clear. White long boots and gloves. She clearly an A+ slut.

"Those two over there are Shadow the hedgehog and Rouge the bat. Our friends from G.U.N." Sonic said.

"Nobody asked you to speak for us faker." He said rudely.

"Come on Shadow, be nice for the strangers." She said. "Hi there sweetie, I'm Rouge, and this grumpy hog here is Shadow. We are top G.U.N agents and close friends for the freedom fighters. And I really, really, like jewels."

The seductive nature of here voice was putting me on the edge, but I managed to keep myself calm.

"Hey Shadow, tell me about G.U.N that I hear about since I got here."

"That doesn't concern a foreigner like you, piss off." He said in his weird rude manner.

"Alright, it's not like I won't find out sooner or latter." I said comically.

"Don't dare you mess with me or I will show you a new meaning of pain, foreigner."

"I would like to see you try." I mocked him.

"Everyone calm down, we aren't here to fight, are we? Let's just be friendly together and be calm please." Mr. Sonic said trying to make us calm down.

"No worries, we aren't here to fight." I said.

"Alright guys, since we are in a party let's have fun!" And he then pointed to the DJ and the hall exploded in music.

"Can we take a break for a couple of hours sir?" Smith asked.

"I don't care, just don't do anything stupid or get really drunk."

And just like a child would do, Smith jumped to the party.

Me, Kido and Ali just sat on the table chatting with each other doing nothing. Kido drank few shots of whiskey while me and Ali drank nothing but some juices, John were just the perfect player with women today.

"That guy has no shame, he's 52 and acts like he's still young." Kido said.

"I totally agree with that, and they aren't humans, that's much worse." Ali added.

"They have human features, it's not that bad."

"Stop arguing about that, it's no use."

They both shut up.

I took the cup and drank some of the juice, while doing that I noticed the pink hedgehog Amy sitting on one of the tables, she was just starting at Sonic who sat on another table talking to another girl, Princess Sally, and he seemed interested in her. And the pink hedgehog could only look from afar. What a poor girl.

"What are you looking at sir?" Ali asked.

"Huh? Oh, nothing. I was just too driven away by my thoughts." I replied.

"Ok."

"Excuse me." A voice said from behind.

I turned around to see who was it, it was Silver.

"Why are you sitting alone? We won't mind your company."

"I'm not parties guy, I prefer to stay quiet."

"Please sir, I insist."

"Well, socializing a little won't harm anyone." I stood from my seat.

"Thank you sir, please follow me."


"10:25 PM"

"Thanks for the party Your majesty, we enjoyed it."

"Please, just call me Sally." She said. "And I made something for you."

Then a man holding a pile of files came and stood by us.

"These documents have detailed information about everything in Mobius, it should help you if you will stay here."

"Thank you your majesty." A couple of soldiers took the files.

"Now if excuse us, we need to leave."

"You are excused."


"10:40 PM, in the camp."

"My head hurts like hell, I shouldn't have drank so much." Smith said.

"I warned you Smith." I said.

"Will you check the documents they gave us sir?" Kido asked.

"I will leave it for tomorrow, I am tired and need some eye shut."

"When we should tell them that we are actually humans?" Ali asked.

"Most probably we won't, you see this Robotnik guy? He's a human. If we told them that we are actually humans they won't trust us, and we can't afford that, not so early." I said.

"Alright sir if you say so. Now I'm gonna get some sleep as well." Ali said.

"We are coming with you." Kido and Smith said, and they followed him.

I lied on the bed and tried to get sleep.

"God, what I got myself into."
