Author's note: G.U.N organization have no humans, they are all mobians,Ahmed and his mercenaries are the only humans in this world (they all disguised as mobians).
Second note: I'm gonna bring up some sensitive topics regarding the Islamic religion, so if you don't like it just leave the story and don't read it.
Any objections? Good now to the story.
Newer A/N : this is the rewritten version of chapter 3, I hope it was better then the original.
I was in my tent, I couldn't sleep last night, a few stuff was making my stuff spining like crazy. How did I let myself go this far with the bat girl? And why I saw my sister's face in hers? Maybe because it's someone I care for so my subconscious mind made this illusion to force me to stop what I was doing.
And this guy Shadow, after the few tests I ran on him I can tell he's a living killing machine, I should be careful with him. That guy has a lot up his sleeve.
And finally, what do I do with them? Killing them is out of question, it's a war crime anyway.
Maybe I could ask for a ransom? No, I am rich as fuck at the moment, the money I will get from them isn't worth it.
I think I should just let them go, yeah it's probably the best choice I have in my hands, this would hopefully lower their suspicion on me. Or at least that what do I hope to happen.
"Sir, care to give a moment?" John said.
"Yes, what is it?" I said.
"So I was messing around the radio a bit, and I got a way to contact earth." He said.
"You did?" I said.
"Yes, now we aren't isolated here, we can get a call from earth if we needed anything." He said.
"Good, I think there's someone I should call." I said.
"Who?" He asked.
"You will see by yourself." I said. Then I headed for the radio room.
*10 minutes later*"
"A/N: the following conversation is spoken in Arabic."
*beep, beep... Beep, beep*"
"Come on, answer the phone."
"Hello?" Said a feminine voice.
"Good evening, is this Atrees's residence?"
"Yes it is, who's asking?"
"It's me! Ahmed."
"Ahemd! Son I missed you soo much! Why you weren't calling me? I was worried sick about you."
"Alright, alright I'm sorry. I will call more often."
"The last time you called was three months ago! You better not do it again."
"I won't I promise. Anyway how is the family?"
"everyone is fine and well, we all miss you."
"I miss them too, Where's my father by the way?"
"He is sleeping right now, he had a long day while working."
"Send him my regards, mother."
"I will my son, I will."
"You sure you don't need anything? Just say it and I will get under your feet for you."
"No, no, honey, there's nothing we need, everything is fine and our financial situation isn't bad, just... just stay safe for us OK?"
"... I will, say hi to my sister as well. Goodbye for now."
"Goodbye son."
" *hangs up* , *sighs* sometimes I feel bad because I didn't spend a lot of time of them lately."
"Maybe you should take a holiday sir."
"I will put that in consideration."
Ali walked in and said:"Sir, the time of fagir prayer. Will you join us?"
"Yes, I will join you in a minute." I said. Then I went with him to start the prayer.
"10 minutes later."
The prayer has finished, but I wasn't finished with God, I sat on my knees, raised my hands to the sky and said:"O'Allah, my creator and the creator of the skies and earth and the whole universe, no one deserves to be worshipped other then you, you know everything about me more than myself, I'm nothing, just a very little person, and you know that very well. God, I ask you the strength to keep on life, forgive my sins and please, be always on my side, and may your name said everywhere, Amen."
I feel so much better now, I will be always strong with my faith.
What's next on my schedule now? *flips the pages of my notebook* well, I have nothing to do until 7 AM, I think I will pay a visit to Rouge and Shadow, those two needs to have a good picture about me before leaving.
I went first to Rouge. I entered the medical tent to find her awake and a nurse by her doing some check ups. I waited until he was finished, when he left I took his arm and asked:"How is her now? Did you remove all the poison of her body?"
"No need to worry sir, we cleaned her body from any poisonous chemicals. She's stable at the moment." He said.
"Very well, you're dismissed." I said
"Sir!" He saluted and left. Now it's me and her.
She didn't realise I was here until I was sitting on the chair by her, she gave me her attention, waiting for me to say anything, we were like this for a minute.
I cleared my throat, took a deep breath and said:"I'm for what I have done, I will get an official apology for G.U.N. and I will provide money for any needed therapy."
She was kinda surprised with what I have said.
"That's ... pretty nice actually. Your apology is accepted, no need for any official papers though, I won't mention what happened here to anyone neither Shadow will." She said.
"Thanks."
"But I want one thing in return." She said, "What made you stop?"
"Excuse me?"
"At one moment you were like enjoying our suffering, the next moment you suddenly stopped everything, and out of the blue you injected me with the antidote and provided me full treatment the whole night, that can't happen without a reason, so give me one."
"..."
"What?" she said.
"I... prefer not to answer this question." I replied while looking in the ground to avoid eye contact.
"Come on, tell me." Rouge made a puppy eye.
"I'm not sure if you would understand." I said.
"I'm a good listener you know." She said.
"Doesn't seem like it."
"Trust me, I can surprise you in many ways."
Maybe I can tell her, there's no harm from it, other than being called madman.
"Since you insist so much I guess I have no choice... I did stop because... because... ahhhh..."
"You find me hot and wanna fu-?" She gave a seductive smirk with a wink.
"Because I saw my sister's face begging me stop what was I doing and saying that I'm not a murderer." I finally said it.
"Oh..." she wasn't expecting this answer
"But I can't refuse a generous offer from a pretty girl."
"You noughty boy." She said in a playful tone.
"But I think I will pass, I have better stuff to do." I said while getting up.
"What's better than this." She said while removing the blanket, showing some of her legs.
"Not spoiling my dignity for a stranger." I said, she lowered her head, showing that she got the message. "And aren't you with Shadow or something."
"No, no, we are teammates, nothing more." She said.
"I thought Shadow have something for you, giving in just like that for you." I said.
"Even if he does, he's an emotionless person, ever since that... Incident." She said.
"What incident?" I asked.
"Nothing, there's no need to worry about that, don't worry." She said.
I returned to my seat by her and said:"You seem like a good girl Rouge, I think I will enjoy your company *writes something on paper* here, take this."
"What's this?" She asked.
"My radio station Frequency, if at any case you wanted to talk to me about something or feel bored or wanna change your work, I will be waiting for you, I am a good listener as well, and pays very well."
"I... I will consider that." She said which folding the piece of paper.
"Now you get some rest, we have a long day at the morning."
"at the cell with Shadow."
The black-and-red hedgehog was sleeping, or pretending to be accurate. Because the moment I stepped inside he was fully awake like he wasn't sleeping for several hours.
"Hello there, Shadow." I said with a sneer.
"What do you want from me." He said with an emotionless face.
"I have nothing to do so I decided to check on my precious prisoner." I said.
"You are a sick man."
"Is this how you thank me for saving Rouge's life!? How rude! Didn't your mother teach you manners." I said.
"I had no mother, no family at all! And the only person I cared for... I had to... I had to see her... Getting shot... AND I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!"
"Hey, hey, calm down. You okay? I can get you a thera-"
"I DON'T WANT ANYTHING FROM YOU! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" He was officially losing it.
"Alright, I will leave, I just wanted to inform you that you and Rouge will be set free tomorrow morning, and you will get your chaos emerald back." Then I uncuffed him and untied him from the pole.
"What's the meaning of this?" He asked.
"If you want to leave right now no one will stop you, but Miss Rouge won't leave on her own, she still weak, so I will escort her in a convoy led by me." I said.
"If she won't leave then I will stay with her." He said.
"Then feel free to stay here and wander about the place, I trust that you won't do something that will make me regret my decision, just don't pick a fight with the soldiers."
"Whatever you say." Then I pulled a visitor card with a strain. "Here, keep it around your neck, no one will bother you when you show it to him."
He took it, and before I leave he said:"Hey, what about our equipment?"
"You can have it when you reach G.U.N. HQ." I said then I walked away leaving the door open.
"6:40 AM"
"Come on! Get ready to move! We are leaving in 20 minutes! Move your lazy butts now!" We are ready to move, just few things to be packed and we will leave, I just need to get Shadow, where the fuck did he go?
Maybe he's with Rouge, I went there and I found him with Rouge in his arms sleeping... Naked.
"What the.. Did you..?"
"Ooh yes I did, jealous?" Shadow give me a smirk.
"You idiot!" I quickly pulled equipment to measure heartbeat and blood pressure and a Thermometer form a nearby cabinet to check on Rouge.
"Hey! What's all that for?" He asked in confusion.
"The medication she took last night leaves her heat very weak, she can't do anything that need a lot of energy. In other words, you could have simply killed her because you couldn't hold your fucking hormones!" I shouted at him.
"How the the fuck should I have known?!"
"And how the the fuck could you bring yourself to fuck a sick girl!?" I was really ready to start a fight here.
"Ahhh, could you please stop? You are giving me a headache." Rouge said in an annoyed tone.
I forgot what was I fighting on and turned my attention to Rouge. "Good morning Miss Rouge, are you alright? Do you feel dizzy? Any pain at any certain area?"
"Ahhh, except for my headache and some heartche, I'm alright. What's going here anyway."
"Long story short, Shadow was going to kill you while you were... having intercourse"
"What? I don't get it? Please explain."
"Your heart isn't ready to do anything requires energy due to the medication we gave you, you could have easily gotten a heart attack and died, that's because Mr. Shadow can't hold himself for a while!" I said to Rouge.
"I didn't know, alright? I am sorry." Shadow said.
"You better be, and for you Rouge, Just don't do anything exhausting for at least 2 days. Got it?"
"Yes sir." She said.
"And we should be leaving in 15 minutes now, get dressed and follow me now." I said.
"Ok, rushy man, we will get ready soon, just give us some privacy." Shadow crossed his arms annoyed.
"I can give you that." I said while heading outside for them.
I waited outside for five minutes before they finished getting ready.
"We are ready to leave now." Shadow said.
"We have to do one last thing." I said. Then three men came behind him.
"What is i- hey, hey, what the fuck!? Let me go!" Shadow struggled between the three men trying to cuff him up.
"What the meaning of this!?" Shadow said angrily.
"I don't wanna you pull a secret knife or break someone's neck, better safe than sorry." I said. Then I looked to Rouge:"And for you Rouge, you will be given a special treatment."
"What special treatment?" She asked.
"You won't be like our friend here, I will tie you with me only." Then I cuffed my hand with hers.
"We can leave now." And we all headed to the convoy to leave, before we get into the truck Rouge started to feel dizzy and almost fell to to the ground but I catched her in the last moment.
"Easy there! Are you alright Rouge?"
"I... I don't feel alright... I... I..."
I putted my finger on her lips to stop talking, "Shhh, you will only make it worse for you."
"What is wrong with her?" Shadow asked.
"She's suffering Hypoglycemia, they forgot to get her something to eat."
I helped her to lean to the truck, then I pulled a candy bar I had and gave it to her.
"Here, eat it, this should help you get better."
She barely took a few small bites and gave her some water to drink.
"Bring us here a MRE now!" I shouted to the men and they brought one immediately.
"You need to eat properly Rouge, have your breakfast now, I'm sorry but all I have here is canned food." I said.
"It's... it's okay... it's better then... nothing at all." And she started to eat slowly.
I removed the cuff from her hand to feel more comfortable and waited her to finish.
"Why do you treat us like this?." Shadow asked.
"Excuse me?"
"You do give a lot of attention to 2 prisoners, specially Rouge, we are treated more like guests of honour more than a two enemy spies who infiltrated your place."
"Everyone isn't a heartless person like you Shadow." Rouge said mocking Shadow. "You should be more grateful."
"I didn't ask for your opinion, Rouge." He said.
"So you wanna know why I'm like this? It's quite simple actually, I respect the fact that you are a living beings that have feelings, and the both my religion and my morals doesn't let me do anything bad to anyone, I always treated the war prisoners well and you won't be an exception, and also I don't view you as enemies."
"Really?" Shadow raised his eyebrows.
"Why would I? I see no reason to do so. Even your little adventure in my place doesn't really change that view, not the slightest, it's just left for G.U.N. to have some trust in me, which I try to give by sending you back to them. Maybe after that we maybe call each other 'friend'." I said.
"Keep daydreaming." He said.
One of the soldiers came and saluted me:"Sir! If we don't leave now we would arrive later than the planned schedule."
"Alright, turn on the engines, we leave in 3 minutes." I said to him and he left to carry out the order.
"I think you feel better now Rouge." I said.
"Better than being dead anyway." She said while trying to stand up, but almost fell immediately.
"Careful! You still not ready yet to move." I cought her before she fell on the ground. "You need rest."
"I really regret letting you fuck me Shadow." She said angrily.
"I said I'm sorry already." Shadow said.
I held her in bridal style and we all got into the truck.
"You know you don't have to do it."
"I don't really mind anyway, you need help." I said.
I gave the order and the convoy started to move.
"8:55 AM, outside of the town I didn't catch its name yet."
"What are we doing here?" Shadow asked.
"I will try to get Sonic to come with us, that way I won't be rain fired the moment they see me, they trust them, right?" I said.
"Sort of." He said.
I left the convoy with a couple of soldiers to find Sonic, the locals guided us to his house so we went there.
I approached Sonic's house and was about to knock the door but I heard some fight going on.
"Why do you always reject me Sunikku? I always loved you."
"And I don't love you back Amy, why can't you understand that?"
"But, but I brought you a gift, a golden necklace with our names on it."
Then I heard the sound of something got broken, probably it's the necklace.
"I don't care about you or your stupid gift, you are nothing to me but an annoying fan girl who gives me troubles all the time, and I'm more interested in Sally more than you, weirdo."
"Sonic *sobs, sobs* ... YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD I HATE YOU! *slap*"
Then I stepped away to avoid her, she ran out of the door not noticing me and quickly disappeared within the crowds.
I entered the house to see Sonic in an awkward situation, the slap on his face was visible and the broken necklace on the ground, the place was a mess in general.
"Good morning, Mr. Sonic."
"Hey there Mr. Ahmed."
"No time for explanation, I need you to come with me now!" I said while I grabbed his arm.
"Whooa slow down, wait did I say that? Whatever let's go."
I took him to the truck to show him Shadow and Rouge.
"So what's the impor-... Shadow? Rouge? You are cuffed?"
"Good to see you, faker." Shadow said in his emotionless and harsh tone.
"Hi Sonic." Rouge talked quietly.
Sonic turned his face to me, showing how angry he is.
"You have 10 seconds to tell me what's going on here or I will break your bones one by one now!" Sonic threatened.
I told him everything happened last night.
"Still, what do you want from me?" Sonic asked.
"Just come with us, be a reason to them not to rain fire us." I said.
"Alright, I will come with you, let's hope nothing happens."
"I hope so."
Then he claimed into the truck and we started moving again.
"11:00 AM, the borders of Station Square city."
We have almost reached the city of Station Square, it looks like it is supposed to be a safe zone, but it doesn't really look like it.
Soldiers on every corner, people looks scared, shops half empty and the buildings are in a bad shape. If I didn't know about Dr. Eggman I would have immediately said it's a dictatorship, maybe it is in the end, who knows.
"Is it always like this?" I asked.
"Yes, ever since Eggman's regime of terror started we lived like this, G.U.N. is the last official form of government in this place, the freedom fighters are more like a rebellion with no real organization." Shadow said.
"I see." Then we continued the ride in silence.
We reached the HQ of G.U.N. , and we weren't very welcomed here.
"Now it's your turn Sonic, get down there and tell them I am not hostile." I said.
"On it." Then he got out and yelled to soldiers to stop doing anything stupid.
"It's safe here, you can come out now." Sonic said.
I got out with the rest of the squads with me, facing G.U.N. soldiers and among them was what is seems like a high rank officer.
"Good early noon, gentlemen, who is in charge here?" I asked.
"Cut the crap, Where's Shadow and Rouge?!" The officer asked angrily.
"Short tempter I see, huh. Well good for you I have them with me captive." I said with a sneer.
"You... you captured them? That's not possible! They are the best agents we have!" He was shocked with what he have heard.
"That's adds even more joy to my victory, but anyway I have decided to release them to show my good intentions here." I said.
"What are you waiting for? Get them!" He shouted.
"Alright, alright, I will bring them here now." I headed to the truck and uncuffed Shadow and gave a hand to Rouge to get up.
"Slow and easy, no need to rush anything." I said to her.
Rouge leaned on me until Shadow took her from my arms and kept walking away.
"Goodbye, my friends. I hope we get to know to each other better" I said.
"I hope so, Mr. Ahmed." Rouge said. Then I walked away to my companions.
"Ali, John, Kido." I shouted at them.
"Yes Sir!"
"You will return to earth, and will bring to me 40,000 soldier, 100 tank, 60 helicopters and and 200 drone jet."
"As you say sir!"
"You aren't planning on something sir, do you?" John asked.
"Silly John" I said, "I always plan for something."
