Unity/Chapter 3: Sold Out for Salvation

Author's Note
The majority of this chapter will be written by me, Doom, but I will be getting help from Nitro later down the line. This is also the first time I've written anything for my characters Theo and John, so a lot of this is probably going to suck and be subject to change later.

Also, as a bit of a heads up, (especially to Max, Time, and Reens) I made a bit of a last minute decision that Secret Discord will be a part of my canon, so this will take place some time afterward.

Chapter 4: Sold Out for Salvation
The Koge Desert: a place that is for all intents and purposes, little more than scorching, desolate waste. Between the dried out and relatively flat lands to no readily available source of drinking water, very few people would ever dare think to inhabit such a place and because of this, it is the perfect place for anyone with a secret to hide. The only openly populated area within a the whole of the desert exists on an isle in the middle of a small lake: Starkman Isle. This is where Theo the Tasmanian Tiger was heading to now, but before that, he had to meet with an old friend.

The journey would take most people at least an hour or two by car, but that didn’t matter much to Theo. In their Hayday, Tasmanian Tigers were known far and wide for their incredible speed and power and having had his own strengths augmented through genetic modification, it was be a very quick trip for him. In mere minutes, Theo arrived at a small clearing near the base of a hill, where his friend Transford the Hedgehog stood waiting for him. He stood in front of a jet black car with his hands behind his back, hiding a leather cast around his left hand and a metal gauntlet that ran all the way up his right arm, and mirrorshades perfectly reflecting the desert sun. Theo approached the hedgehog and shook his head, causing Transford to give a small grunt before he spoke.

“You really couldn’t convince either of them?” The hedgehog asked Theo, tilting his head to the side. Theo shrugged as he answered, “Nothing I said to Fargo could get him to leave, not even who we’re going after. Kuroki said he come, but he got pissed when I mentioned you”

Transford smirked, “He must still be hung up about the lock on his door.”

“You know, you still haven’t told me anything. What happened in there?”

“Let’s just say it I was cleaning up after GUN as usual.” Transford turned around and reached into the car while he continued, ”Regardless, there’s been a slight change in plans. John starting ramping up security around the time I called you up, he’s got his sights on another project. They’ve spent the whole day carting boxes in an out plastered with a bunch of warning labels and one of them had some weird glow to it.”

This time it was the Tasmanian Tiger who tilted his head, “If it’s that big of a deal, is it really a good idea to do this now? Maybe we should hold off for a bit and try to better refine our plan of attack.”

Without even a moment’s hesitation, Transford retorted, “We haven’t got that much time, Theo, and we ain’t ever gonna have a chance to catch this bastard again.” He turned around holding up a rifle in one hand and a magazine in the other. “Besides, it’s not like we never had to improvise before.”
