Hard to believe that April is almost done.

SunSera: GUN is nowhere near as bad as the Shamarian military/government. They're only ruthless because it's a chance to kill one of the world's most "evil" people who was responsible for a lot of things, meanwhile the latter... well, you already know what they're like. And yes, that was the first real Infidget moment in the story. I will say I have an uncommon preference with the ship.

Infinite's POV

"Argh!" I grunted and lifted the sewer grate open and peeked out into the open world, checking for any potential enemies. When I saw none, I climbed out into the dusk and back into the fresh air with Gadget following closely behind. It was nice to get out of that sewer. We've been down there several hours, waiting for the military alert to blow by.

I still felt stupid for not listening to Gadget when I should've. That stunt I pulled nearly took my life and cost me another injury unfortunately. It gave me vague reminders of Cassie, our primary medic in the squad I lead. She would often scold me sometimes if I did something stupid.

I really miss them. I do.

"Looks pretty clear." Gadget said to me, observing the environment which was now an abandoned suburb torn by this supposed war that happened a few months ago. "If we're lucky, GUN won't search this area for the next little bit. We'll need to leave this city as soon as possible."

"Yeah, yeah." I groaned and winced at my bullet-scratched arm which was now bandaged with my bloodstains on it, of course. I'm still thankful the bullet didn't directly go into my arm.

We walked along the desolate streets, lit by dim streetlights. It felt erie, but peaceful.

"So what are we doing here?" I asked.

"Gathering the last of the supplies you'll need and get you far from the city. Somewhere secluded enough for your liking." My friend replied. "We really only need a decent car and some food, that's it."

"Maybe we'd still have those things if we didn't abandon our original car we came here with." I said sarcastically. I looked at the wolf, who only shook his head and chuckled at my comment.

"I guess you're right. Then again, maybe you're also to blame." He nudged my elbow.

"Touché." I said in defeat and stuffed my hands into my pockets.

"And this time, when I leave to do something very simple, please stay put. If you don't, best case scenario is that I'll get figured out then and we'll both be hunted, and that's the very least."

"Okay, I get it!" I hissed and looked at him for a brief second and continued on.

"Just making s-" We both perked up and heard the distinct noise of choppers coming our way. "Hide!"

I dashed underneath an old destroyed car and Gadget ran into a dark alleyway across the street. We both looked at eachother and braced for what might be another senseless and misunderstood battle between me and these breeki morons. I looked up in the sky out of curiosity and saw several helicopters, barely visible in the dark, escorting one large plane-looking one carrying a tank. We stayed in cover until they passed by, not noticing either of us thankfully.

"We're good." I acknowledged and stepped out. I met Gadget, who had concern on his face.

"Those were gunships and an Osprey VTOL. They're really on the alert if they're bringing in that kind of firepower into the city. All over one guy, too." My wolf friend said with some determination.

"Best we don't linger around, then. I can't survive another attack." I replied.

"That's what I've been saying. We'll find a spot to rest for the night and we'll be out by morning."

"If we don't get caught." I responded.

A few hours later, 3rd person POV

The late fall temperatures cooled the deserted streets of the South suburb of the city. It made Gadget slowly awaken early. The wolf stirred in his makeshift bed inside a building that was in mint condition. He groaned and looked around before his eyes landed on the jackal sleeping like a baby next to his bed on his own. The red one searched for his glasses case on a nearby desk and opened it up and put his much-needed glasses on.

He turned on a lamp that lit the room just enough where he could see and Infinite wasn't disturbed by the light. Gadget got up from the bed and looked out the window which faced downtown Redherden City. He let out a peaceful sigh and took in the sight. For a moment, the wolf forgot about his troubles.

They suddenly came back when the power was completely knocked out inside the building, and the entire city went dark for a good five minutes which confused Gadget. He thought about getting Infinite up, but decided not to knowing the latter's sleeping habits.

The electricity to the city shot back on and the wolf calmed down. Must've been a hydro issue. He thought, but had a bad feeling that something worse was about to happen. The red wolf tried to ignore the feeling and go back to bed, as rest was very necessary.

For an undisclosed amount of time, Gadget couldn't sleep. The feeling was almost overpowering as time went on. He tossed and turned before he couldn't take the feeling anymore and got up once more. He looked out the window and back at the city once more and decided to do some self-therapy.

"Gadget, everything is perfectly normal. See? Nothing bad's going on. It's all fine. It was just a-" Gadget was cut off as a bright flash blinded him for a moment. He shielded his eyes and looked back to see a huge explosion coming from city. By far one of the biggest he had ever seen. He almost couldn't believe it.

The shockwave hit and windows were shattered. Infinite immediately woke up. "Gadget!?" He shouted in concern and got up. "What. The. Fuck. Was. That?" He asked and looked up at the wolf, who was gazing in disbelief out the window. He got up and joined his friend, and saw the huge fireball from the explosion.

"Infinite?" Gadget asked and looked at his friend with deep concern, who also looked back. "I think the worst is happening. Dragovich is here."

Thoughts?

To give you guys an idea of the explosion they saw, look up the Tianjin Explosion.
