Chapter 5 - Break the silence...
The Tuesday that was following started out normal. Blain called the last day, and told me everything. I haven’t heard from him since, but I assumed he was just fine. As the day passed by, I still didn’t hear anything. But that evening, as I was watching the news on TV with Lara-Su, I found out what happened…
TV: The situation remains uncertain as GUN and ICA troops continue to advance to the south. What seems to be the start of a coup on the government, no one really has answers.
Then the TV switched to some news reporter. What troubled me was that there were MNAF troops carrying injured soldiers in the background as thick black smoke and blazing fires could be seen as well…
Tv: Earlier this morning, reconnaissance troops were under fire as they were trying to investigate a Titan that got shot down last night. Only recently, it was confirmed that GUN troops were behind the attack, and that it serves as “retribution”. GUN placed an ultimatum on the MNAF troops to retreat out of their territories or the consequences will be severe according to them.
Tv: Any word if there were any survivors on the Titan?
Tv: Sadly, no. As far as known, there are no survivors.
Nicole: Oh no… Tell me this isn’t happening…
The image of the burning wreck of the Titan in the background was burned on my eyes… I kept seeing it, no matter how many times I tried to look away… I just couldn’t believe it… I noticed I was shaking and it felt like I had something stuck in my throat… I felt how my lips were starting to vibrate and how severely my hands were shaking… But… I had to look… I had to know…
Tv: Right, so the current situation is that MNAF troops are to fall back to the south?
Tv: That’s right. GUN troops are taking back territories that belonged to them. But after the war was over, they got driven away from their lands. Now they are just simply claiming their property.
Tv: Yes, well as you can see, the chaos over here is enormous. Hundreds of soldiers trying to evacuate the wounded, the casualties and of course, civilians, as they keep an eye on the surroundings. It’s a lot of chaos over here and what probably is the most disturbing, is that it’s all happening not too far away. Just a few hundred kilometres from where the Titan departed as no one is informed from where it took off, seeing as it is confidential. The most-
Tv: You guys have to go, it’s way too hot here.
Then all of a sudden, shots were heard as you could see soldiers forming a line and taking cover…
Tv: Gunshots are being fired at this point and-
Tv: Would you guys get the hell out of here?!! .
Tv: Go! Go! Get moving!
As soon as others heard the news, we didn’t know what to do… I mean… Everything looked so surreal… Everything we ever build up over the last 23 years just shattered to pieces by a fraction of a moment… Ya know…? It’s… I can’t describe it… Retribution…? For what…? To gain back some land…? They think it’s necessary to kill Blain for a piece of mud and grass…? Don’t they realize what they’ve done to me…? I just didn’t understand… I…
It wasn’t until nightfall that I cried over Blain… All day I kept walking around with images in my head, and that really scared me… But the fact that he wasn’t next to me in bed that night and that I couldn’t feel his strong arm around my stomach hurt me the most… I know he means a lot to me, but that night, I realized he means a lot more then that… Everything seemed so natural and everything was so taken for granted over the years that it was natural for him to be with me… And now he just isn’t… And I miss him already… My pillows got soaked with bitter tears… But… I also questioned myself… What will become of me without him…?
The sorrow I felt didn’t fade away as a few days passed by… In fact, it only got worse… Every day I was reminded that he wasn’t here anymore… And each day, it got worse… They announced that GUN forces were closing in on the south, and our full military arsenal and troops were dispatched to stop them from advancing in on the south. But it was inevitable. It was only a matter of time. Sometimes our forces managed to drive them back but got overrun quickly. No one could sleep at those nights, knowing that they were closing in. At some point, tv’s and radio’s broadcasted that all the major cities are to be evacuated… Until one day, GUN troops arrived in Deberan while our forces couldn’t be seen anywhere…
I still remember that day… I was doing groceries with Cody when they came rolling in with their tanks and all sorts of stuff… No one could stand it that they were in our city but we couldn’t do anything. After all, they are the ones with the guns. And what would happen if people without weapons take on people that do have weapons? What usually happens when people without guns stand up to people with guns… And that’s exactly what happened…
The soldiers didn’t meddle with the civilians, but every riot and everyone provoking it got arrested. The soldiers weren’t hostile to us, and all I could think of is that we should stay out of the way… Until it was inevitable that we got caught up with them… And that happened when I was in town with Cody and were on our way home…
Cody: Hey, what’s happening over there?
Nicole: Where?
Cody: On the square!
And as we walked by the towns square, we noticed a large group of soldiers and a bunch of people were yelling at the soldiers. Then at some point, the soldiers took action and punched people with the butts of their rifles. Cody bumped into me and nodded in a direction where some vehicles were standing. A few people of the group got placed inside those vehicles as a group of soldiers raided a house… I just stood there watching with Cody and a bunch of other people…
Cody: What the hell is going on…?
Nicole: Their rounding up random people…?
Echidna: Yeah.
Nicole: Why…?
Echidna: Apparently, some corpse of a human was found in the forest. Turned out to be some high ranked officer that got killed by someone and they wanna know who it was.
Cody: What’s gonna happen to them?
Echidna: I have no idea…
Hedgehog: They are gonna keep them as prisoners. If the perpetrator of the murder doesn’t turn himself in, all of those people will be up against the wall.
Nicole: … You mean they will be shot…?
Hedgehog: Yeah. I heard it happened in other cities as well… It’s called retribution. They think it’ll scare us. Pssh. Bunch of pussies. *spits on the ground*
Then all of a sudden, I heard people yell. As I looked up, I saw one of the people who got rounded up running away. And then they started shooting… Cody pulled me down behind the fountain and yelled at me if I was out of my mind. Maybe I was. I know he tried to pretend like nothing happened but, shots were fired… Like it wasn’t a big deal. Yet it all happened right in front of our noses… We stayed down until the yelling stopped and heard those vehicles driving off… And then we got up and saw the devastation it left… I saw a few people down on the ground… Innocent bystanders that got hit by the gunfire… I guess they weren’t fast enough… A few people that were on the ground were still alive, but two were badly hit… And as I looked to my left, there was a woman not too far from me holding a small child and there was a huge blood splatter on the wall near that kid… She was hit in the chest, but that kid was shot in the head, like the bullet went through the chest of the woman… She was holding her kid close to her… All I could do was to look at her and she cried her eyes out and there was nothing I could do… She was dying except she didn’t realize it yet… And not long after that, the crying stopped… People were buzzing all around me as paramedics arrived at the scene as the yelling started again…. But I didn’t care about that. I still stared at the woman with the kid… Then I just ran off… I felt like I could burst out in tears any second and just wanted to get away… And on my way home, I cried… And that day, 5 precious lives were lost forever…
As soon as I got home, I dove down on the couch and just cried… It wasn’t a pretty sight to witness everything… Fear made room for anger and hate towards the GUN… I guess I wasn’t the only one thinking like that…
It started out as rioting in Deberan because of what happened. But right from the beginning you knew this was different. As the days slowly passed by, it was happening in small villages, towns, and it soon came to the big cities... The riots brutally ended in bloodshed and gunfire and as a few days went by, more and more bloodshed was happening on the streets… Tv’s and radio’s broadcasted the riots and at some point, it totally escalated and it even started to look like a guerrilla war… MNAF troops were also send to the large cities and small towns and Deberan was one of them. GUN troops got driven out of the city because they couldn’t take on the heavily armed MNAF troops.. Army blockades of the MNAF troops made sure no one could enter or exit the city without permission…
Then one night, while I was in bed, I heard an ear deafening noise… And another one… And another one… It kept on going through out the night and I saw large flashes of light every time I was looking out the window, shortly being followed by a loud bang. I could see fire and smoke in the distance… And of course I was scared… Everyone was scared… We had to run, but we didn’t know where to… Tv’s and radio broadcasted all those attacks that were happening on a large scale throughout the south continent… And this was only happening in just a few days…
Then about a week later, it wasn't on the TV anymore... It was on the street outside. You could see it through your own windows… By the time they tried to evacuate the cities, it was already too late... MNAF Army blockades were overrun by GUN troops… Before the TV and radio stopped broadcasting, there were reports of invasions all over the southern continent… We didn't hear anything more after that... And that’s when we knew that we had to flee…
Meanwhile…
???: General, I was expecting you. Please, take a seat. I’ll be right with you.
General: Thank you sir. The reports should be in soon.
???: That’s not why I summoned for you, general.
General: Excuse me sir?
???: My apologies for luring you under false pretences, but I can not risk a leak.
General: I’m… Not sure I understand…
???: It all begins 26 years ago… General: During the great war?
???: Yes. The late doctor Ivo Robotnik created lifeforms, moulded it into something dangerous… They were known as the RRTS, a deadly Spec Ops team capable of doing the most daring assassination operations ever known…
General: Yes… But they’re all dead…
???: Except for one…
General: But you wouldn’t know if he’s still alive today…
???: He is.
General: … Presuming this guy still exists… He’s still just a furrie… What’s the big deal?
???: The big deal…? He’s the perfect furrie… A thousand year lifespan, 10 times better vision, hearing, sensing and strength then the average furrie… His DNA is a how-to manual for any cloning lab on the planet… With this creature in their clutches, there’s no stopping them to create a whole platoon of these creatures… A whole army…
General: But it’s not something to be bothered with. We can overrun them with ease and our arsenal and Titan fleet-
???: The Titan fleet and our full military arsenal wont do us much good if we’re all slaves of some clone army dictatorship now will it?!!
General: …
???: You have no idea what you are talking about general… Inform Zakhaev of the situation and the changes in objectives...
General: Zakhaev reported he already neutralized him a decade ago… Sir…
???: But he was seen a few days ago!!
General: With no success… He lost trail of him again…
???: Then what the hell has he been doing for all these years?!! I didn’t pay him to play hide and seek with that son of a dog!! Zakhaev might be some freelance gun for hire, but that doesn’t mean he’s free to do as he pleases!! I paid him to hunt that furrie down and to neutralize him!! Nothing else!!
General: He’s very hard to track down sir… He’s like a ghost…
???: Then he better step on it before heads are gonna roll…
General: Yes sir…
That particular night, my door got barged in and the lights got turned on. At first, I was terrified, because I thought GUN troops were raiding our village, but then I saw it was Cody…
Cody: Get up, get you’re things.
Nicole: Wha-What’s happening?
Cody: Look outside the window…
And as I looked outside the window, I could see people carrying bags and walking towards the city. As I looked up, I saw an enormous Titan armada gently floating by in the sky, right above us… There were like, 20 to 30 Titan ships in the air… Their logo’s indicated they are from GUN…
Cody: Come on, come on, come on, get you’re things!!
So I packed a few things in a bag… Clothes mainly, and some other crap that wasn’t really necessary and I got dressed quickly… Are we truly leaving everything behind…? At some point, Cody grabbed my shoulder and was pushing me towards the door. And as I stood outside, I noticed Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow and a few others banging on doors telling to the people inside to get out… Lara-Su, Amy, Julie-Su and Rouge were already standing outside with a few others, gawping at the skies towards the Titan armada. About half an hour later, the whole village gathered around near the lake discussing and arguing on what to do…
Cody: No! Staying isn’t an option!! We gotta get moving before it’s too late! Now we still can!
Knuckles: Cody’s right… It’s way too-
Guy: Dangerous!! How the hell could you even think of something like that?!
Amy: He has a point…
Guy: You’re gonna expose you’re daughter to danger?! Look!! Their all heading towards the city!! It’s suicide going there!!
Amy: Another point made… Maybe it’s safer to stay here and mind our own business…
Guy: Who’s to say that they are gonna meddle with us…?
Tails: You see that?! You see those fires and black smoke coming out of the city?!
Knuckles: Who’s assuring that it’s not coming over here?!!
Rouge: Whoa, whoa, wait. Maybe you guys are jumping the gun a bit…
Cody: Maybe so, but I’m not gonna risk my life for something stupid like this!! Already there have been lives lost of people trying to cool the situation down!! Think of Blain for frack’s sake!! He died while trying to make a difference and to end it!! Staying here and die means Blain died in vain!! Died for shoot, for nothing!!!
Then we all stared at Cody as he looked at everyone… I’ve never seen him so pissed in my entire life…
Cody: Staying here means you will DIE!! Don’t you get it?!! It’s not just a conflict anymore!! Look up!! See those Titans?!! See the fires blazing in the city?!! It’s war!! … fracking hell, what’s wrong with you people…?!! …I don’t know what you guys are gonna do, but I’m going!! I’m going alone if I have to!! Because I’m not intending to give my life to the humans who are making one big cemetery out of this fracking continent!!
Then it stayed silent for a while…
Cody: You think I’m not scared…? Of course I am… But we gotta do something or else we will all die… And… The best thing I can think of is to get moving…
Nicole: Right behind ya Cody…
Cody: Thanks Nic… I don’t know what you guys are doing, but I’m going. Maybe one day we will see each other again. … Good bye… And… Good luck…
Then he grabbed his bag with a few belongings and started to walk towards the city… I looked at everyone else, and grabbed my bag as well and went after him… Not long after that, Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Amy, Julie-Su, Shadow and Rouge followed us, while the rest stayed in the village… And while we were walking, I looked back at our village, knowing it would be the last time I was leaving it…
“During the period that GUN forces took over and occupied the west, I did not speak up. I did not speak up because I didn’t live there… Then they took over the east… Again, I did not speak up because I didn’t live there… Then they came to the south… And by the time they reached the south and thus me, there was no one left to speak up…”
“Nicole…”
