So glad the site has fixed its issues.

Guest and Guest: Gadget has a bit of a sad background, so indeed sad him.

Infinite's POV, 20 minutes later

The whole trip was put on temporary hold until Gadget had calmed down. I know I'm a dick sometimes, but it hurt me seeing someone trying to help and get emotionally struck. I shouldn't have acted the way I did, but I suppose it's apart of my personality so I couldn't help it.

I had to reassure him as if he were one of my own squadmates until he felt better. I know I can't lose the only person that I can depend on at the moment, at least until I find my squad because it's become clear to me that they're not coming. Probably have no idea where I am and are hopefully worried.

Speaking of which, I'm curious about how they're doing, but I know they'll be fine. Leo has always been my trusty steed when it came to me being unable to lead the squad. I know I can trust him to do well.

We were on the road again shortly after Gadget had his emotional breakdown. To my surprise, he listened to me and accepted my apology. He did say after all, that he believes in second chances. Best I don't ruin that last chance.

We didn't say much as we drove along the almost never-ending road through the snow covered land.

I looked through the window as we entered an almost abandoned looking small suburban area in the middle of nowhere. I was told this was the town closest to the border to Spagonia. There wasn't any traffic strangely. Hell, not even the occasional pedestrian. "Must be in the abandoned part of town." I thought aloud.

"Yeah..." I heard Gadget reply. "Something seems off about it."

"I'm sure we're fine, we're way far off from where they're probably looking. Just keep driving." I looked at him, only to see that concerned expression in those yellow eyes. I knew he had a really bad feeling about something, and I don't blame him. It seemed fishy to me as well.

We kept driving through this boring place. I was thinking of getting some more shut-eye. I'd love to take this opportunity and get some more sleep in and enjoy it while it lasts.

I closed my eyes and waited for my mind to take me away and into dreams or total darkness. However, that was cut short fast when I heard Gadget shout something in worry. I opened my eyes, alert and ready, just to see a military truck slam into us.

For the next few moments, it was just loud banging, crashing and almost flying through the air if it weren't for the seatbelt. The RV continued to roll until crashing into something. I groaned in pain and looked over to my friend, who was luckily conscious and searching for their glasses until he found it. "Hurry, lets go!" I shouted. We took off our belts and got out, disoriented.

I saw several soldiers dressed in white uniforms with guns pointed our way. Way too many for either of us to deal with unarmed. Shamarian soldiers. Damn, I spoke too soon.

We dived behind the now wrecked RV expecting gunshots to ring out towards us. I looked up and saw that we had crashed into an old worn down office building of some sort. I looked back at Gadget, who now had a huge crack in the left lens of his glasses. "You okay?" I heard him ask.

"I'm fine, can you climb?!" I asked.

"Yes, yes!" He replied.

"Climb up and into the building, quick!" I urged. I jumped up using my impressive jump onto one of the second story windows and proceeded to the fifth floor and climbed through the window. It was then I heard gunshots from outside. Oh no... I thought. I hope Gadget didn't just get shot.

At that moment, he clumsily climbed through the window. He got up. "Did you get shot?" I asked. He shook his head.

"No, thankfully." He paused. "Mind telling me your plan here?" He asked.

"We might be able to take them on in this building. We can get a surprise advantage on them and take them out one by one." I explained.

"You good with guns?"

"Guns aren't my most preferred weapon to use, but I'm pretty good with them, yeah." I explained. We both hid in a room and waited for them to come. This was gonna be a walk in the park for me.

I heard the soldiers on the bottom floor, shouting orders to eachother. It wasn't long until a soldier came in through the door. That's when I lunged at him from behind and gave a powerful punch to the face before they could react. I took his combat knife and plunged it into his throat.

I took his upgraded AK-47 modified for military use, and held it close. "Take his sidearm!" I hissed and peeked around the corner to see more human soldiers. I didn't hesitate to fire at them down the hall. I managed to hit and kill about two before the others three found cover in the other rooms.

They quickly returned fire and I ducked back. We were pinned down. When I looked back, Gadget wasn't there for some reason. I then heard the pained grunts from the soldiers and a few gunshots. I looked down the hall once more to see Gadget was there with the bodies of the soldiers on the ground. I gave him an impressed look. He knew how to fight.

I stepped out to join him, only for a sudden kick to the back, which sent me flying right at him and my gun to fly to the other side of the hall where I couldn't reach.

I groaned in pain and got up, rubbing my back as I looked to see an anthro soldier, whom I couldn't distinguish the species because of the face mask. I gave a look of hatred and we both charged at them. They dodged our attack by jumping over us impressively. I looked back at gave a nice hit to their face.

That's when I saw a combat knife come out. The anthro attempted to lunge that knife into my skull in which I grabbed their wrist before they could do. They didn't let up and continued trying.

I countered the attack by letting myself fall to the floor and kicking them in the stomach, which stunned the soldier. Suddenly I heard a gunshot and the next thing I knew, I saw their body fall to the ground. I heard Gadget rush over and help me up.

"We can't keep this up forever. We should leave." He suggested. From the room next to us, three of these powered anthro soldiers came right through the windows.

"Not if we have anything to say about it." They objected to Gadget's statement.

One one of these guys were tough, but three was something I wasn't sure if we could handle ourselves. I saw Gadget literally do a homing attack on one of them, throwing them away. "So be it." I heard one of the other two say.

For the next few moments, it was pure pain and disorientation for the both of us. The limited space of the hall was a disadvantage to us both. The soldiers managed to homing attack back, which was something we couldn't avoid. The attacks hurt us bad both. When we went to get up, other soldiers came in and subdued and handcuffed us.

"Call in command, we have both subjects in custody. We will be awaiting air transport, over."

I can't believe this.

Stay tuned folks. I want reviews.
