Two hours ago I felt dead tired and now I'm full of energy... I guess that's science.
SunSera: Yes, Gadget was a pilot. Specifically flew helicopters and a few airships before his role in the war was revised, and do expect some epicness from it. Oh and your Infinite prediction skills are on point. Some things he won't be willing to do.
Infinite's POV
"You were a pilot?" I asked out of curiosity. I saw my friend nod.
"Yep, although I'm not the best there is." He told me as we got dressed into our fall clothing and rushed outside and into the early morning filled with the sound of war in the area. The distinct noises of gunfire and bombs exploding made me want to ditch it out of here ASAP, but I knew I couldn't miss Gadget's opportunity to me. I'd do anything to escape the abuse I've been through since waking up in that base months ago.
"Oh, that's cool, I suppose." I replied. He wouldn't be the first pilot I ever knew however. "So, I hope you're going to use that skill here so we don't die!" We both hid under a destroyed building, being aware of any enemies.
"I was forced to become a pilot for the Resistance after they took me out of the spotting position. Within two weeks of cheap and rushed training I learned to fly helicopters which is when I'm not all that great at-" We were cut off by an exploding shell that detonated in front of us, knocking us over.
I got up and brushed myself off. "Enough of this, we need to get to a good lookout to find out where we're going!" I shouted. I looked at Gadget for a moment before jumping on top of the building we were next to to quickly scope the location out. Towards the East was where most of the fighting seemed to be happening.
I heard the wolf land next to me and observe as well.
"GUN's gonna get chewed up and spit back out into the trash. There's no way they'll be able to stop a hostile force that has better manpower and resources. This division won't last. Hopefully Sonic comes soon enough and put an end to this nonsense." I heard Gadget say in frustration.
"What do you suppose we do? We can't just rush into the warzone. I'm more someone for stealth missions." I told him.
"If you're ready, maybe we can get behind the enemies and destabilize them." I looked at Gadget next to me and gave a nod.
"Sounds like a plan. We'll have to keep in mind that GUN will probably continue to attack us.. well, me anyway." I told him and looked back at the chaos with a determined look.
"I haven't check their radio yet, but it's more than likely that you're being blamed as the cause of this. I know that for a fact so be alert. And always be wary that Sonic and his gang are out there, too." The red wolf told me sternly.
"As long as we stick together, I'll be fine." I announced the truth. I honestly don't want to leave Gadget. He's done so much for me... cared for me in this crisis that I'm in... I looked at my gloved hands. These are feelings I haven't had in a long time. He makes me feel secure, sometimes happy even.
GUN Eastern Division HQ, Western coast of Spagonia, 3rd Person POV
"Fill me in with the Infinite operation. Have we found the subject yet? Or at least get the damn comms working?" An annoyed Colonel Blaxton asked.
"We've just received some sort of transmission from Redherden City a few minutes ago, sir." The soldier stood at attention.
"Send it up. The West is eager to know if we've killed that damn dog yet. Although I think you morons have somehow yet to do that even though it's confirmed that he's been shot and blown up." He told the soldier, who gave a salute.
"Right away, sir." They quickly ran off out of the room. The red hedgehog sat down on a chair in his war room and boosted the seat up to be level with the other commanders and officials in the room and grumbled to himself about this and that. The others made small talk in the room.
"Alright!" The Colonel banged on the table to get everyone's attention. "Because the Resistance Command has been pressuring me about taking a certain trash out recently, we need to discuss tactics to bring him down for good. The division I have in Red failed to eliminate him yesterday and maintain a pursuit. He somehow managed to survive a missile and get away."
The commanders immediately began shouting out ideas and plans of action to their frustrated leader, but he only got a headache from it all. He rubbed his temples and shook his head.
Thankfully for him, the noise all stopped when the big screen with a digital map on it changed to show something else. Everyone turned and payed attention to that instead.
Static appeared for a moment before it went away abruptly to reveal footage of a GUN commander and the sounds of warfare.
"This is an important, urgent message to anyone out there! This is Captain Stulph of the Redherden division. We are under heavy attack from an unknown military force, but intel suggests that Shamarian soldiers are attacking. We need backup ASAP or else- Oh shit, get down!" The commanders ducked off-screen and an explosion was heard, rocking the camera which fell off the tripod and shut off, ending the transmission.
Nobody could believe what they just heard.
"Well, gentlemen, looks like this was his plan all along. To cause war."
Well, thoughts? And yes, I did update two days in a row. Feel special.
