GUN HQ
The GUN soldier nodded at the cheetah, in acknowledgement of what he had to say. But then he couldn't help but frown.
Granted, he recognised this cheetah as an authorative amongst the force. But something was leaving him puzzled...
Perhaps this was all just adding to his confusion as to what was truely going on amongst this 'Guardian of the United Nations' force. Why were there secrets, and a certain anminosity suddenly going on?
"Yes, I must say I've been taken aback by all of this myself," the soldier replied. He frowned again.
"If I may ask though sir, before I proceed giving you 'further information'... under whose authority should I feel obliged to do so?"

Jet's eyelids pulsated, as he found himself walking at an uncomfortably rushed pace through the GUN corridors. Or, actually, it wasn't so much the pace that was uncomfortable, but rather the rifles that were constantly jabbed into the back of him.
"Keep moving rodent boy, we haven't got all day," Cam'Ron sneered, carrying his own handgun "doctors like patients to keep their appointments."
"I don't want this appointment!" Jet whimpered slightly.
"Too bad," Cam'Ron sniggered "it's just a check up. It's not like you're going to the dentist after all..."
'I think I'd prefer a dentist any day...' Jet thought numbly.
When the soldiers, the hedgehog, and weasel captive had finally found themselves outside what seemed to be a heavily clad, titanium steeled door, Cam'Ron punched in a combination of buttons which in turn, cause the door to whir open from bottom to top.
A bright white light that was cast from the room glared viciously, causing Jet to turn away slightly. He could not shield his eyes with his hands for the fact that they were cuffed in front of him.
The soldiers turned and marched off, whislt Cam'Ron simply put his red glasses on.
"This way," Cam'Ron nodded, pulling back the rifle and pushing it against Jet's back "can I prod you to go forwards?"
Jet reluctantly advanced into the spitefully white-lit room. The walls were simply white, heavily built and appeared to defy any ways of escape- which made this confined environment all the more intededating.
As Jet's eyes finally adjusted to the intensity of the light, he could make out an entourage of white coated men walking his way, which caused him to shrink as far as he could towards the ground- feeling cornered by both the intimedating group of medics and the handgun against his spine.
"The famous subject 297?" Dr. Platinum said, a six foot tall blond doctor, though young and in his twenties perhaps "he's a lot smaller than I thought..."
"Don't merge his size with his capabilities," a black-haired female doctor with heavy eyeliner replied in a matter-of-fact tone. Her name being Dr. Saphire.
"Capabilities?" smirked Dr. Ebony "he merely looks like a hybrid of some sort, judging by the unusual characteristics... long tail, long ears... perhaps this is one for the vet?"
"Don't be so complacent!" Dr. Grey snapped, stepping in front of group of doctors spontaneously "before we risk our lives carrying out any medical assessments, I suggest we see how he fairs against our newly upgraded specimen..."
Jet wrinkled his nose, before gasping so suddenly when his eyes fell upon a cerulean hedgehog that merged from a space amongst the bright white light shortly the doctor beckoned his name. He had unnaturally coloured frozen aqua-eyes. Let alone all the other confusion that was throwing his mind in dissarray due to the doctors' arguments- but this other specimen.
As Jet tried to brave his fear, to take a good look at this other creature, denoted by the 'specimen' noun, he chanced a serious look in his eyes.
As cold and cruel as they were, he seemed restrained and obidient- any evidence of free-will, gone.
"Specimen 156, attack this foe!" Dr. Grey called out.
And that instant, Frost stepped back slightly, his eyes flaring for a split second, before a twin set of parallel ice beams came streaking in Jet's direction...
Suburbian station square
"So where are we going?" Shadow asked, kicking a piece of rubble which went flying off a half crumbled down bridge.
"To find some food. I'm hungry," Athena replied, her frosty eyes hardening as she scanned the area in a predator-like manner.
"Oh?" Shadow asked stoically, stopping for a moment and standing up tall with his fists tightening as he gazed at some mountains in the distance, which were obviously miles and miles away from Station Square. The horizon looked familiar though, he had to confess.
"Correct. And if we don't find any sooooon..." Athena said, momentarily following Shadow's gaze and thus prolonging the last word in her sentence casually "then I'll have to bite you again, Shadow."
Shadow broke his stare from the mountains and purple sunset skyline and glared at Athena.
"I don't find your joke amusing."
"You think I'm joking?" Athena replied, stifling a laugh, before her long ears lowered gingerly.
"You know, I really could without your company." Shadow shot back with disgust "I don't need you to help me find my way, fox!"
"I think you might find yourself sadly mistaken, Shadow. Do you know where you're going, what you're even after?" Athena asked, her black eye-shadowed eyes half closed.
"Perhaps..." Shadow replied complacently, supplementing this with a few stubborn steps forward- before stopping and sighing with frustration.
Athena smirked, before tilting her head to one side.
"It's hard to know who to trust, or who to trust to help direct you to some answers," she said sympathetically, which earned Shadow's attention "but I can, and will help you, if you help me first."
Before the three-tailed fennec fox continued with her speech, her ears suddenly lowered wildly, followed by a sneer which precipitated upon her mussel.
Shadow frowned, a bit taken aback. It was as if she became a totally different creature.
"Athena..."
But before Shadow could say any more, his eyes widened as he took in the spontaneous and rapid movements which entailed Athena leaping across a bush, into a river with a splash, before rising up again and pouncing upon a squirrel.
Namely Ianthe!
