As the Mobius Command Company kept running and running away, defeated and apparently failed to defend Albion, they did not stop running until they stopped at a dock containing a Chinese junk. Sonic commanded...
"Go! Move in to the boat. We're gonna pull back to Knothole!"
Rotor dropped Bunnie to the boat and pushed it as she runs and pulls the knots on the junk, releasing the sail. Rotor joined them after pushing the junk.
5 minutes later...
Into 15 miles ahead of Knothole's coastline, the MCC kept sailing, awaiting the Knothole Coast Guard to rescue them.
Tails and Nicole were busy sleeping in the junk, Sally searching any Coast Guard Boats via telescope, Amy and Rotor talking about the failure of defending Albion, Bunnie sitting down in the outside of the junk, still crying over Antoine's death, and Sonic sitting next to Bunnie. He asked her...
"Still crying over Antoine?"
Bunnie nodded in response. Then she spoke out after crying...
"I should have been there, to stop those fucking Communists to tear my dear Antoine to pieces. But I didn't know he would kill all of them for me."
"He did it for you. We should have stopped him from doing that. Yet we couldn't kill a hundred commies just to stop him. How couldn't we do that? We all would have been killed in Albion." Sonic responded.
"Now what? I'll be pregnant with Antoine's child in 3 years after this war. I'm just nothing without him. Tell me Sonic, do you feel so sad? All empty and alone?"
"I do. Goddamn I ever do."
Bunnie holds Sonic's hand in agreement. He smiled at her in response.
6 months later...
In Knothole, Jackson asked Sonic...
"Your group may be moving to New Mobotropolis for now. Where are you going?"
"To the north, where I'll meet the Russian, Viktor Alexsandrovich Reznov." Sonic responded after getting in a Willy's Jeep as he looked at Jackson, revealing to have been bearded.
"Good luck sir."
"You too Jack." Sonic drove off after 5 minutes.
In New Mobotropolis...
The New Mobotropolis Security Forces (or NMSF for short) moved in to all of the armories and gun shops in the city and taken all the guns due to the Communist attack led by Khrushchev.
The MMC (except Sonic) led the city's Security Forces in defenses. Bunnie prepares mines and crater charges outside the city, Tails finished setting up the city's robotic defense support systems, Nicole finishes setting up drone defenses inside the city, and Rotor finished setting up turrets around the city's walls.
Tails wondered why his brother left "Why did Sonic leave us. Why did we have to fight without him?"
After the company finished doing their defense duties, Jackson arrives in a M1 Half-track and briefed...
"Listen up. The NMR are coming in this way to take the city. This is our last stand until Knothole. We don't have much weapons support, but still we need to hold off these commies. Take in barricades like a circle. The gates serves as outer, but even if we don't have HMGs and mortars to hold off infantry and armor, we'll hold off for as long as we can. The barricades surrounding the outer should be heavily protected with drones and turrets and a large number of NMSF security guards and law enforcers and it's own SWAT division even it's Government Agency. The outer should hold off infantry in 30 minutes before an airstrike comes. Are we ready?"
The security, SWAT and NMGA and the MMC yelled in response "Hell yeah!"
"Great now move out to your positions!" Then Jackson walked inside the city hall, leaving the half track in NMSF use.
At the borders of New Mobotropolis...
Khrushchev in his GAZ Tigr spotted the NMSF defense positions and moved back in the occupied security border now a army camp crowded by conversations and cheering by both the Soviet Army Group and the People's Army Division, who are instead meditating and writing their diaries in Chinese. The middle-aged gecko was not concerned by this, but due to orders of Stalin, he moved in the stage of the camp and briefed...
"Listen up!". This caused the PAD to step out of their medication and writing and stand in front of Khrushchev. He spoke out again after giving in a presentation of a map of New Mobotropolis and a long stick...
"We will commence a attack on the city. It's defense forces is held like circle, so we will surround the city by climbing or destroying it's outer circle with air and armor. After we captured the outer, we will secure a perimeter in the outer circle and focus on attacking the inner circle. However, we will expect heavy resistance when we attack the inner. so we need to charge in with heavy arms, armor, air support and artillery. We will also expect naval support as they give us artillery. The city hall is our primary objective. We will also expect the Mobius Military Group and it's Command Company. Now get some rest. We will attack tomorrow." Then Khrushchev stepped out of the stage, leaving the two divisions to their assigned barracks. The gecko encountered a red and yellow wolf wearing a naval officer's jacket with army pants and black and yellow-striped combat boots. His name was Brezhnev the Wolf. The wolf spoke out to the gecko...
"Privet tovarish. (Hello comrade.)"
"Tovarish Komandzier. (Comrade Commander.)" Khrushchev responded shaking hands with Brezhnev.
"I hear that you want to use my naval artillery to the attack of New Mobotropolis?"
"Yes. We need your assistance since our artillery and armor will not be enough to support our men." Then Khrushchev and Brezhnev walked to Brezhnev's BTR while talking.
"OK, but for a small price I will pay. Colonel Andropov from the Air Force will assist you in breaking the city's walls. That way, he will not call air support once the men steps inside the city."
"And what happens if we fail to break the inner circle?"
"I will send a BrahMos barrage so the rest of the men can enter the city hall's defenses. We send snipers to attack the Mobius Military Group."
"What about the New Mobotropolis Gendarmerie or it's Penal Battalion?"
"Zhukov's infantry division will take care of it. They will try to flank us in the back if they capture our perimeter."
When the two Mobians stop at the BTR. Khrushchev says farewell to Brezhnev as his crew drives away. The gecko walks into his office seat, takes a smoke and thinks...
"Comrade Stalin. I will not fail you. The capitalist evil will be perished and all of the people will be united as you want it to be."
