Sonic at War chapter IV

All Character belong to the Sonic Teams, and SEGA.

As Tails got out of the Armored Car he noticed that he was surrounded by humans wearing uniforms that blended in with the desert, at least to a certain extent. The peculiar thing about them was that they were not staring at him, surely they must have noticed the fox with two tails so why did they not stare or shun him? When Tails asked the Lieutenant about it the answer was a brief they are doing their jobs,or something of that sort, he couldn't pay attention to the answer for a massive labyrinth of tents entered his view with many more men walking around it holding weapons like the ones that the others out in the city used. As Tails entered a command tent with the quickly souring Lieutenant he noticed a bunch of computers, most with a camera feed from some shaky camera. That is, until 3 of the cameras fell and did not move.

"Sir, this is the creature that I called ahead about. He is able to speak and understand English, that much is clear, but how much of it... well is unknown to me sir."

"Very good Lieutenant you may return to the front... from the looks of the cameras they might need you." ordered a shady figured beneath a rather large baseball cap. "Take two squads to assist, we cannot afford to loose the lower market district, is that clear Lieutenant?"

"Yes sir, I shall take squads F and H from Charlie Company."

"Get to it Lieutenant, You have 5 minutes until we begin the counter assault on the upper markets from the west."

Tails had enough of the discussion between the Lieutenant and the shady figure. "Um... excuse me... yea what about Sonic.... and the medic? Are you just going to leave them there?" Tails was tearing up again just at the thought that Sonic died.

The shady figure answered bluntly "Who the hell is Sonic? As for the medic... what was his name Sergeant?"

"Keel sir, we lost visual contact with him sir, he most likely was looted" replied a young looking man that stood only a head shorter than the shady figure.

Tails did not need anymore info. About Sonic, he knew that Sonic was dead from the moment the first bullet hit him. But now it looked like they had no chance of recovering the bodies. That is Sonic's body, no doubt that the evil people took Sonic to study the blue creature... then again maybe not. How could people kill innocents with no hesitation, then care about them afterwards??

"Looted... what did the medic have? Asked the shady figure "I mean was he a robot?"

"No sir, no bionic emplacements, but from what his rank suggests, he did have access codes to our most basic squad radios." replied the younger man.

"Tell them to cut their communications, old school time."

Tails now really upset now, they brushed him off so easily, come on it is not like a human is asking these questions, even though a human would probably get more attention. "Hey why do you guys ignore me? The other guy left and now you two wont even look at "creature" that he called and told you about!! I just lost my closest friend, we were like brothers, but all you can talk about is some stupid code??" cried Tails in hopes that he could finally get comfort. The Lieutenant gave him no quarter, telling Tails that everyone loses family eventually, what difference does it make.

"Oh? You are still here? I thought... nevermind, Corporal get this eh...."

"Fox" prompted Tails gritting his teeth, trying to hold back even more tears.

"Right" answered the shady figure "Corporal get the fox some provisions, clothes, and a room. I will notify the General of our findings, oh and also... Corporal?"

"Sir?"

"Tell Captain Holden to reopen the robot facility, we have soldiers that need to head back to the front."

"Yes sir, but he is undermanned. He will need someone else to help him out."

The shady figure thought about the options, he did not want to risk Private Mannison sense the head injury to help out... "Hey fox... do you have any experience with bionics?" The question was a joke until he could think of someone that had that kind of knowledge. His thinking was cut short by a 'Yea, I do' coming from the fox.
