Nation: Furia

Location: The Furian Kingdom (The Apartment Complex)

Six Months Later

It's been Six Months since the Exiles started the Insurrection, and Life in the apartment complex has gotten better. Crime was at a huge declined, Police Knights were more frequent in the area, and The Infrastructure was even improved from huge funding by the new ruler of Furia, Summer.

Citizens who live in the Apartment Complex are appreciative that she made their lives much better than before, But are sadden by how the Exiles were driven back underground where they won't be able to rise again. Some do believe that some members, Including their leader was killed during the final battle. Others believe that they lost so many men and were force to retreat, while most were captured and tried for treason.

Most Citizens don't really know how it all went down in the final battle. It's why some are still debating about it, even to this day.

A luxurious limo was riding into the complex to go pick up someone in their apartment, and that someone was non other than Scorch himself, Who was sleeping on his couch. Once the limo arrived, it stops in front of the apartment. The driver then honk the limo as a signal to let him know that his ride is here. And it was loud enough to wake him up.

Scorch: "Aww...I was having a good dream..."

Disappointed about it as he was, He knew that it was time for him to go. He had already packed up most of his belongings. All he needed to do was grab his luggage and head outside. He started by opening the front door first, Then he went to grab the luggage that was leaning up against the side of the front door on his right, and next, He heads straight outside of his apartment. He turned to close the door from behind and locked it with a key afterwards.

He turned around and notices a black luxurious limo parked outside of his apartment, and he loved how it looked. It was all shiny and fancy looking.

Scorch: "This must be my ride, It's like I'm being treated like a celebrity."

?????: "You have the Princess to thank for that."

The window rolls down from the passenger side, revealing a red fox with glasses on his face and a black long sleeve shirt with a red tie. Scorch wasn't expecting to see anyone, But he got curious to know who this person was.

Scorch: "Who're you suppose to be?"

?????: "All you need to know is that I'm the Advisor for Princess Summer, and I'll be with you on your journey. Her Orders."

Scorch: "Kay? I won't question it. Lemme put my luggage in the trunk-"

Furian Advisor: "The driver will do it, You just get in the Limo."

Scorch: "...Okay then."

He puts his luggage down on the steps and approaches the limousine. He went to the other side, opens the door, sits down next to the Advisor, and closes the door shut. The driver is carrying Scorch's luggage.

Furian Advisor: "Scorch, was it? It's nice to see a Hedgehog going from a Citizen to an Elite Fighter."

That last part the Advisor said to Scorch threw him off. He thought he was going to another Kingdom to train, Not to become an Elite. At least that's what Summer told him.

Furian Advisor: "Oh yeah, She didn't wanna tell you herself. She wanted me to tell you. You'll be heading to another Kingdom to become an Elite. It's part of the alliance between two kingdoms."

Scorch: "I only decided to do this so I can get stronger, Not be some Elite for some Kingdom I don't know anything about!"

Furian Advisor: "No. But in these circumstances, it doesn't matter what you want. And I wouldn't try saying No to her. Not following her orders or disobeying her orders is almost always a death sentence."

Scorch: "...Just like every other ruler."

Furian Advisor: "I wouldn't say that. Sure, we had rulers who kill those who don't follow orders. Summer is one of them. But then we had rulers who sent those to exile."

This made Scorch wonder which type of ruler Winter is. But given by his experience with her, She's probably one of the rulers that kills.

Furian Advisor: "Besides, You'll love it! You'll get to do things you wouldn't be able to do as a Civilian. Like get new weapons, have your own soldiers, and so many things you'll have to see for yourself."

The driver got back into the limo after putting his luggage in the trunk.

Furian Advisor: "But I can promise you that you'll love it as much as the other two. Driver, take us over to the shuttle!"

The engine starts, and the driver sets the GPS to the shuttle, Located at the Furian Military Base. It's two hours away from the apartment complex.
