Hello, everyone. How are you all? I've been unfortunately sleep deprived recently, but that's not stopping me from updating.
SunSera: Was your sister that "Queen Mel" that was reviewing a lot not too long ago? And again, I love your amazing feedback.
Infinite's POV
I lifted the sewer grate up and onto the sidewalk. I poked my head out and took a huge breath of fresh air. Then I checked the area out carefully. The street was empty and the sounds of warfare were still going strong. It wouldn't be long until reinforcements pushed this way.
"Gadget, we're good. We can come up!" I hissed at him and climbed out of the sewer with my dear friend following suit. We both immediately ducked for cover in an alleyway. In my experience, exposing yourself in a hostile environment was the last thing any sane man or woman, human or anthro, wanted to do. Especially me. I've already suffered enough injuries, and now Gadget was taking some of the punishment.
"Let's find their front lines." Gadget told me with a stern look in his eyes behind the glasses. "There's a chance they've set up a weapon cache. You thinking what I'm thinking?" I smirked.
"Of course. Let's do it. Hopefully we can find some medical supplies for that cut." I explained, glaring at the wolf's arm wound. He also took a look at it apon the mention.
"I think I'll be okay as long as it doesn't get infected in that time frame. I've suffered worse during the world wide war against Eggman." He explained.
We made our way in the shadows, often ducking when a helicopter or some sort of aircraft flew by. We made it to the next street and turned the corner, only to see an armoured patrol moving to the front. I looked up the street to see more enemies turning the corner. I gritted my teeth.
"Into the building, now!" I exclaimed. I literally dived through the window which probably wasn't the smartest thing to do. Gadget landed next to me and I hid behind a counter in what appeared to be a kitchen. Gadget hid behind the door.
Just as I expected, a few soldiers came inside checking the floor out. I prayed they wouldn't be able to find me. I took out the large knife from that anthro I killed earlier and surveyed it. I'm trusting you to be my sword's temporary replacement until we get out of this Goddamn mess.
Thankfully, the soldiers didn't check the obvious spot I was hiding in and they all left, although I could literally see a tank outiside the window. I was still surprised no one brought out any newer robotic technology yet and was instead using older tech from two decades ago.
I signaled to my friend that we were good, but to play safe. I kept crouched and made my way to the window. My short body was a definite advantage in this situation.
"Hey! Inf, GUN radio chatter's confirmed my hopes. There is a vehicle housing explosive tank ammunition somewhere around here, but their forces are pinned. Perfect opportunity to cause them a big bang." I nodded.
"Let's not screw around, then. Those people need our help." I said with a determined look in my heterochromic eyes. Gadget gave me back a subtle nod. We stealthly made it out of the front door when the armour was busy. I looked up the side of a house and jumped up on top of it.
"Ah!" I yelled in pain, and nearly fell off the curved roof. I felt a hand grab onto mine. I looked up and saw Gadget there, trying to pull me up. I felt my cheeks begin to burn. Damnit, this is not the time! I cursed mentally at myself.
"You okay?" He asked. My leg injury was beginning to hurt badly again. "Let's get onto a more stable surface." He helped me up and we jumped onto a different building, albeit clumsily.
I sat down and rolled my pant leg up to inspect the knife wound Trax gave me during my escape. The bandaging on it was starting to become more bloody now. Just like I thought, it opened up again.
"I need to be more careful..." I growled at myself. "Thanks for looking out for me, again." I said, I looked at my friend again who had a slight smirk on his lips. He put a hand on my shoulder, stopping me cold.
"Hey, that's what friends are for." He said calmly as another large explosion went off in the distance, in which both our attention spans were drawn.
"We really should move, they're getting destroyed." I murmured.
"Yeah..."
"I think I can withstand this pain for now. I've had worse, lets go find this damn thing and blow it up." Gadget couldn't help but chuckle at my statement.
"You never change, do you?" He asked me.
I shrugged. "What? It's not often I get to blow people up that I despise. Usually it's with my sword or a gun." Again, he chuckled.
"Okay, let's go before-" He was cut off by a distinct sound by us. We looked over and saw something that made both our hearts drop. There was a small floating surveillance robot watching us.
"Well, fuck."
An explosion suddenly occurred right in front of us, knocking us both from the roof of the building. I actually screamed as I fell down, but collected my bearings and tried to cling to the wall to stop the fall.
I grabbed onto a satellite antenna in hopes that would catch me, but to my dismay is broke right off the wall. I landed on the ground with a thud on my front and laid still. My whole body ached in pain at that moment.
I groaned as I slowly got up, disoriented. Nothing seemed real around me and I heard constant ringing in my large ears. I actually began to cough up a little bit of blood, which wasn't a good sign. Gathering my strength, I got up and ran.
Bit of a vulgar and somewhat violent chapter, eh? Oh well, it's to be expected. Don't worry, I won't make this story gorey. Reviews are appreciated.
