"116.. *huff*"

"117..*huff*"

"118.. *huff*"

"119... *huff*"

"120!" The black hedgehog exclaimed, then looked down. He was hanging his legs from a bar on the wall, hanging upside down. He was doing crunches, upside down. He grabbed the bar, then backflipped, landing on the ground. As he did, he felt the burn in his lower abs.

As he walked over to his stereo, he grabbed his towel from the bench with all his workout gear. As he dried off, he calmly turned the loud, booming stereo down to a low roar. The ACDC music calmly died down, as he finally hit the power button.

As he walked away, he took a quick swig from his Nike water bottle. He turned the lights off in the weight room, and closed the door. He looked up at the clock on his wall, and was shocked by the time. "Damn it.. Forgot all about my show." He moaned.

He walked back down the long hallway, to his massive living room. The nice and bright sunlight shined through the windows, giving the room life. "On." He said loudly. The TV then turned on by itself. "Good morning sir. The weather today is a high of 84 degrees, with a chance of rain all week." It then spoke.

"Thanks TECH. Put me on satellite." He said as he sat down on the nice and clean couch. "Gotcha." The TV spoke again, then immediately switched to Direct TV. "Channel 249." He said as he loudly yawned. "Hold on, getting an incoming call." TECH said.

"At this time? From who..?" Shadow asked in shock, as he took a gulp of his water. "From... Oh! It's from Silver." The female voice said. "Silver?!" Shadow said loudly, then spit his drink all over the floor. He then quickly stood up, and walked to the TV.

He pressed a holographic button in the corner that said "answer call". The screen then shifted to a darkly lit room, and a gray hedgehog with a worried look. "Silver?! Where the hell have you been all this time?! Wait... Are you still in HQ?!" Shadow asked loudly.

"Shadow!! Are you seeing this shit?!" Silver yelled in fear. "Whoa calm down! What happened?!" Shadow worried. "Turn on the news! NOW!!" Silver then shouted. Shadow quickly grabbed the tablet off the table, and held it against the TV screen. Silver's video call then went to a holographic form on the GUN issued tablet.

The TV automatically switched back to live Television. A yellow rabbit was shone on the screen with a title at the bottom that said, "Live Coverage" in bold. In the background, were police barriers and people all over the street.

"Breaking! We are here live at Defenders HQ, witnessing an astonishing sight! Government vehicles and armored trucks have arrived at the door, with troops busting down their doors! Citizens by the hundreds are showing up at the scene, only to be blocked out by the local police department. It is though these events are related to this morning's announcement, only being told about an hour ago. Here is the footage."
---------------------------------------------

"My fellow Mobians, several months ago, a great tragedy has happened... in our once powerful country. Millions of dollars in damage. Innocents, injured. Children... Murdered. It is because of these events, parents and our own citizens go to sleep, afraid of what is next to happen. It has shaken not only the city, but our nation as a whole.

And we have had it. Our country should not have to fear leaving the safety of their homes. We should stand as a whole. Against these... Terrorists. Against these extremists. Against these anarchists. Against these so called 'heroes'. That is why, effective immediately, I am shutting down G.U.N, and their team, The Defenders.

And I have decided of a better way to keep our country safe, without these fake heroes. As of now, I authorize Protocol Anarchy. AKA...

The Metahuman Registration Act.

People of Möbius, you shall no longer live in fear. I am President Jonathan Stone. And thank you."
---------------------------------------------

"President Stone's announce my shook the country this morning as it was even broadcasted globally. More news on this as it occurs." The lady finished, before it cut to commercial.

Shocked, Shadow stood there. Paralyzed. "Oh... My.. God.." Shadow said, as he shook with fear. "Shadow! Get out of there now! They're coming for all of us-

Silver got cut off, by yelling. "HEY!!! HE'S IN HERE!! OPEN UP METAHUMAN!!" The yelling projected through the holo-screen. Shadow then saw the door behind Silver began to break in. "Silver! SILVER!!" Shadow yelled. "Shadow! Leave your house! NOW!- The transmission was then cut.

"No... NO! SILVER!!" Shadow yelled as loud as he could. "Shadow!!" He then heard a female voice from the hallway beside him. He jolted his head in shock. A glowing, holographic woman ran down the hallway. "Shadow! There are men surrounding the house! What is happening?!" The mobile form of TECH said.

Shadow quickly looked out his window, and saw a heavily armored truck drive through his large back fence. Then, 5 more drive through his massive front yard. "Shit!" He yelled in fear. He watched then men pour out of the house with speed, as they rushed towards the house in clusters.

"TECH! Get in my holo-watch! We're leaving!" Shadow said loudly. She quickly dispersed, and was instantly synced into his watch. He grabbed his shirt off the couch, and ran through the big house, to his back door.

"We'll have to move fast to get out of here!" TECH pointed out. He saw the back door with his peripheral vision, and bolted for it. As he got to his destination, he heard a loud crash coming from his living room. "SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG!! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!! REVEAL YOURSELF!!" A loud man screamed.

As soon as he heard the loud voice, he went straight for the door handle. "TECH! Secure the perimeter of the backyard! NOW-

BBBBBOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!
The walls were instantly blown open. Shadow flew back dozens of feet, hitting the ground hard. His vision grew blurry, as he looked around. All he saw, were outlines of people moving in on his area. "I got em! He's over here!" He lightly understood what a man yelled, through his ringing ears.

He then felt multiple people touching him, as he regained his vision. He heard a silent click behind him, and felt his wrists grow tight. "He's cuffed sarge." He heard another voice. "Good. Get him into prisoner transport. You know where to take him." Another voice spoke.

"Understood. Let's clear out!"
