And I'm back. Thanks for the support, and guys, don't worry about the story's overall plot. Other than a few corrections to Infinite, the story is literally the same so no need to worry. Sorry this chapter was late, I've been really tired.
Infinite's POV, some time later
"Get up!" I heard a voice shout at me.
"Go away." I responded, half asleep in my bed. I rolled over to see a man there. One of the guards.
"Get up or you'll regret refusing my orders." He threatened me and thrust a gun in my face. I jolted up and put my hands up.
"Alright, fine! I'm getting up." I got up from the bed and stood up. "Happy?" He put handcuffs on my wrists.
If only I could take on these idiots without them shooting me dead. They've beaten me, barely even fed me food... Hell, they clipped my fingernails too, my only emergency weapon.
"We've arrived. Now come on." They ushered me.
"Where?" I asked and followed him out of my cell where several other armed guards were.
"In the Northeast." In a different country, huh?
At least the horrible conditions of the sea were over. Oh, I should probably explain what's been going on.
Over the past few months, I think, they put me on a boat and have been keeping me here, telling me that we're heading over to the prison I'll be going to. It's been cold and wet. I hate it with a burning passion.
They said that there weren't any "available" planes to use to cross the ocean be used of a worldwide war. Wonder how much of that is true.
If only my mates were here for me. To get me the Hell out of here.
The guards escorted me out of the cell holding area and onto the deck of the ship where a few other prisoners were also being led out. Immediately a blast of water coming from the rocks hit me. That was something I ain't gonna miss.
They led me onto the dock where even more guards stood. These ones wore different uniforms and had a different country flag on their shoulders. Yep, foreign country. This'll be fun. "We'll take him from here." One said in a thick accent to the other guards and gave a salute.
"Come on!" A female voice shouted with the same kind of accent. Another guard, a cat. "Onto the trucks. Try anything and you'll be shot." She said to us.
We walked up the dock and onto the road where two military trucks with cages in the back. We all got into the trucks in hesitation.
Me and the others just watched as they locked up the cage on our truck and said some things to eachother.
I noticed the other prisoners were giving me weird looks. Probably because of my heterochromia, my magnificent hair or even the scar on my face. Some of the inmates showed signs of fear for whatever reason. Maybe they know about me and my Jackal Squad. I thought.
Finally, we began to pull away. All the other prisoners in my truck, most anthro, a few human, if they weren't looking at me, they were just looking down in regret. I decided to start a conversation. "Well, what are all you guys here for?" I asked.
"I thought we were gonna lose to Eggman, so I joined him in hope that I'd live." Someone said.
"That's what were all pretty much here for." Someone else said. "You any different?"
"I don't even know for sure." I said, looking at my cuffed hands. "I guess it's because I made my money illegally, and so did my entire squad."
"You were part of a squad?" Someone asked. I nodded.
"I started up the group called Jackal Squad. Not sure if you've heard of us before, but we collected bounties and made good money doing it. As the name implies we're all jackal, too."
"Just don't kill us, please. Whatever you do!" Someone wailed in the front. I just gave him a weirded out look.
"The Hell are you on about?" I asked.
"You know exactly what you did!" The human male pointed at me, shaking. I sighed a sigh of confusion.
"What, hunt bounties? Of course."
"No," They breathed. "you were with Eggman. You committed genocide with him, I know it." I was was confused even more now. This guy is insane.
"Hey, I'd never join that idiot. He's never gotten anywhere in his life other than be beaten by a blue hedgehog over and over and then cry about it wondering how his quote en quote 'plan,'" I made finger quotes. "failed. It's honestly sad. I'm not like that!"
This crazy dude didn't stop there. "You're Infinite! You were his ultimate weapon... I swear it!" I just brushed him off.
"Keep telling yourself that." I didn't even look at him and just stared at my cuffed wrists.
The human just began to shout and lose his mind. He accused me of having affiliation with that old man as other prisoners tried to get him to shut the Hell up. It wasn't long until the guards got pissed, too.
My truck pulled over and two soldiers got out. They opened the gate up and one got into the truck. He walked past us and to the insane man shouting at me. "Shut your hole, peasant!" He said.
"You have to understand! He's-" I watched the guy get a smack to the face by the guard with the stock of his gun.
"I said shut up!" They yelled in a strong accent. Even that didn't get him to shut up, so they gave him another hit, which thankfully knocked this idiot out.
We all watched the guard give a look of satisfaction at his work and leave the truck. The other guard, the cat from before, locked the gate up again. Some of us just chuckled at the moment and gave sighs of satisfaction.
Oh, Gadget, or whoever you are, just get me outta here.
Reviews are appreciated. I did end up updating the previous chapters to fit the canon. They weren't heavily modified.
