The days in this shit city was always the same. First news of the day started with another robbery at a local corner store. Later, there's a murder in a famous stripper club that opened not too long ago. At dusk, there's a huge raid in the local park, several innocents, both adults and children, killed in the crossfire. GUN, the government cop force, can do absolutely nothing against these attacks. They are weak. Pathetic. None of their troops understand how to run a simple obstacle course or even load a gun. The place was filled with fear and chaos 24/7 and was the worst city of them all. No one from neighbor cities decided to help and didn't bother to send reinforcements. As the day continues, a blue hedgehog was responding to the request of the GUN Commander, seeming nervous. As the hedgehog walked in, the Commander was fiddling with the mouse on his desk. His feet were up on the desk and you could hear the occasional melodic sound of a retro-game going on. His gray eyes looked up at Sonic and he simply nodded towards a chair. "Sit." Sonic sits down, his hands clutching the arm rests with his life. He was nervous as to why the Commander wanted to see him. "Sir, why did you ask for me?"

"There's been some rumors that there's going to be a new recruit coming to the city. I want you and your squad to stay on the lookout while we're waiting." Sonic's ears perk up and he relaxes slightly. "Is that all, sir?" The Commander nods. Sonic takes a deep breath and stands up, leaving the room as casually, but quickly, as possible. He continues walking, going downstairs and entering their squad's room. All of the guys were dicking around, none of them paying attention to whatever is happening. The leader of the squad had his arms crossed and was leaning against the wall, shaking his head in disapproval. He notices Sonic and instantly pushed himself off of the wall. Sonic stopped and saluted towards the Captain, the Captain saluting back. "What did the Commander say?"

"The Commander told us to go on a patrol while we're waiting for a new recruit that may possibly be part of our squad." The Captain, a brown and white wolf with electric blue eyes, bared his teeth. "Let's hope that he's not like the rest of the scrabble." The Captain directed his head towards the group and Sonic noticed two of his closest friends and another who was his older brother. Amy was a pink hedgehog with jade green eyes and she was the most beautiful hedgehog that Sonic has ever witnessed. Knuckles was a red echidna with purple eyes. Him and Sonic met when Knuckles used to be the bodyguard of a now dead, but famous gang leader named Scar. A total dick who deserved what he got. Sonic's older brother, Scourge, used to be called Manic until the two separated. Scourge was then raised in a fearless gang and they came across each other when Sonic first joined GUN. Now Scourge has come clean, keeping his new name. Sonic felt proud for his sibling until he saw him joking around with other agents of the squad. Sonic nods towards the Captain, agreeing on a silent level. The Captain turns around and shouts at the group. "Attention!" They all stop and get in a ragged formation, all looking like kindergartners. "The Commander wants us to go out on patrol while we're waiting for a new recruit that may possibly be part of our squad." The group started mumbling, making the Captain fume with rage. "Shut it! I do not know what this recruit may look like nor his or her reputation. We will find out soon enough. Now get your shit together so that we can go on patrol." The group quickly gathered their most necessary resources, afraid of the Captain's wrath. Sonic was the first to the cars, waiting impatiently for everyone else who came bursting out of the doors. Sonic's shoulders sagged, his ears falling slightly.

'Oh, for the love of God, I fucking hope that this new guy is better then these people.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The squad's cars were strewn about the city, monitoring the streets as citizens wondered to and fro. Sonic, Scourge, and Amy were sitting outside of their car, Sonic's emerald eyes surveying the city while the other two chatted. "Hey, Sonic." The blue hedgehog glances at Scourge before looking back at the city. "What is it, Scourge?"

"What do you think the new guy looks like?" Sonic shrugs, not in the mood for chatting. "I don't know. The Captain got more details from the Commander and told me that the guy has a short temper and may be rather tall and muscular." Amy intruded on their conversation. "Is that it?" Sonic nods. "That's all they got." Amy sighs as she now stands next to Sonic. "That kind of sucks. It would be great to know what this guy looks like along with his name." And coincidentally, a fight broke out on the opposite side of the street. It was one v. three. The three were thugs common and well known among GUN. The other guy was a black hedgehog with red stripes and crimson red eyes. He was at least over six feet tall and his muscles were overwhelming. The three thugs stared in terror as they tried to take the guy down but the man was supernaturally quick and flexible. He managed to duck all of the guys' attacks and stole a gun from one of them. The dark hedgehog shot all of them in a weak spot. The thigh, the kneecap, or the shin. Scourge releases an impressed whistle as the man brought the gun down. Sonic gets off of the car and the corner of his mouth twitches as a smile slowly started to appear on his face. "I think we found our guy."
