THANK YOU FOR OVER 100 REVIEWS! You people never stop.
SunSera: It was Gadget's birthday because the custom character reveal trailer came out on May 16th, 2017. I'd rather have Gadget speak than not speak at all honestly. I believe it was already mentioned in a flashback that Infinite's name has always been the same because the meaning behind it drastically changed when he became evil, and saw no reason to change it. And yes, if it's requested enough, I can give other characters flashbacks as well.
Queen Mel: Thank you for your reviews, I appreciate it!
Infinite's POV
Back in the literally shitty sewer systems again. My nose couldn't handle the horrid smell. I could tell that Gadget dreaded to be back here, too. Rumbling and faint gunshots from the surface could be heard and felt. This was all wrong. Very wrong.
We flashed our flashlights through the tunnel, which was empty and dark. It vaguely reminded me of those labour tunnels back at the prison I was forcibly sent to, and believe me, it's not a memory that I want to remember. Like many others.
"I'm not willing to be down here any longer. Let's go." I said. Gadget gave me a simple nod and we trekked through the dank tunnel.
Rats were scurrying everywhere we looked, all disrupted because of the war going on above. A large shockwave suddenly hit us and we both nearly toppled over into the dirty water. I did not need to covered in waste and later get diseases from it. I've suffered enough as it is.
"You alright?" Gadget called, adjusting his glasses.
"I'm fine." I replied and we moved on. Something I noticed was that it's hard to breathe regularly down here in the underground. I wasn't willing to go even deeper beneath the surface and risk oxygen deprivation. I knew Gadget thought the same.
I looked at my boots in boredom as we walked. Gadget suddenly stopped me by putting a hand in front of me and a finger on his lips like some sort of elementary teacher. "Wha-"
"Shh!" He cut me off and we both listened. Other than the running water, I heard the echoes of voices ahead. "There's people ahead, probably enemies. We'll have to take them on if we're to continue." The wolf whispered. I nodded in acknowledgment.
We began moving again, on our toes this time. There was a curve in the tunnel ahead that we moved towards. The potential enemies, now louder, were bearing Shamarian accents. I felt even more anticipated for the battle knowing I can kill the morons that decided to imprison and use me for labour.
We looked for places to hide for an ambush, but unfortunately in a tunnel. I looked up and saw a ladder to go to the surface. I suddenly had an idea.
"Gadget!" I hissed silently.
"Hmm?" I pointed to the ladder, the voices getting louder. We shut off our lights.
"Go up there and hide, I'll play dead and we can surprise them. They won't shoot me, I think." I explained my plan. He nodded and climbed high up the ladder where we wasn't able to be seen. I positioned myself away from the water and laid down on my front. I could their flashlights coming around the corner now and I faced my head down.
3rd person POV
The five soldiers wearing urban camp uniforms turned the corner, and they stopped dead, aiming their weapons and lights. In front of them was a black jackal on the ground, seemingly unconscious to the unsuspecting soldiers.
"Might be him. Two of you, go check it out." The lead soldier commanded. Two of the lackeys moved forward aiming their weapons cautiously. They went up to Infinite and poked their guns at him to see if he was alive. One turned the jackal around to reveal that it was indeed their escaped prisoner.
"Sir, it's him." The soldier confirmed.
"Alright. We'll take him forward and get him out via air." The sergeant said. The two soldiers grabbed the anthro by his arms and dragged him forwards.
When they went past, Gadget made his move. He jumped off the ladder and landed silently behind the group. He tapped on one of the soldiers' shoulder.
"What the-" He turned around and Gadget delivered a dual kick to two of the closest soldiers, knocking them over. The others were confused, but one turned and fired their gun at the heroic wolf, which echoed very loudly and hurting everyone's ears. Infinite took this opportunity to get up and take the combat knife of a disoriented soldier. He did not hesitate to slit the throat of his enemy and move around to the last human soldier charging at him with their knife. Infinite skillfully threw the knife right into the head of his opponent.
Lastly there was an anthro soldier, who pulled out a large knife and began to attack Gadget. Infinite moved to help his friend but a swift kick was delivered onto his stomach, stunning the jackal.
Gadgrt dodged the blade and occasionally delivered a punch to the gut. His enemy got furious and gave Gadget a nasty punch to his jaw and also kicked him where it hurts the most. Gadget yelped in pain and finally, the soldier went for a stab. Gadget, ignoring the pain, got out of the way and the knife cut his arm instead, tearing the fabric of his red leather jacket.
Infinite suddenly kicked the unknown anthro hard on the side of the head. He dropped the large knife, and the Jackal Squad leader quickly picked it up and plunged it into the head of his primary enemy, killing them instantly.
Infinite pulled the knife out and rushed to Gadget's aid, who was on the floor. "Are you okay?" He asked as if Gadget were apart of his squad and lend out a hand and helped the hurt wolf up.
"Yeah, sort of." The college student replied. He looked at his arm and the wound inflicted. It wasn't a deep cut, but it was bad enough to start bleeding. "I'll be fine as long as that's patched up and we're out of here. Appreciate you looking out for me." He said as Infinite wiped his jacket and pants off. He looked up.
"Hey, it's only fair that I look out for you too. You've gotten me pretty far, after all."
How was that? Reviews are appreciated.
