Secret. Operation. Squad (a Sonic OC story)

Part 1 Chapter 2 Moments of Heroism

Bopper's narration

I'll admit that my moments weren't always the best, but that didn't stop me from trying.

I goof up and ruin a lot of things when trying to beat the bad guys, but I always got back up to keep fighting.

My heroic moment came when were trying to get our artillery to the right position so we could rain fire on some Death Egg Bots.

But something went wrong on the route...

Normal POV

Battlefield near Central City

Bopper came into the fray with his squad, armed with a Blue Wispon to fight back with, despite hating to resort to weapons.

The battle had been pushing to take the outskirts of the city since the first month of the war began, making it the 3rd most heavily hit area behind Westopolis and the City where Infinite appeared.

The black bear could see the kind of damage that frightened him if it reached his old home, with smoke building in the sky and some structures still on fire.

He could hear his team captain calling him over, standing right near the long range artillery. "Gruff! Come over!"

Bopper came over and stood straight. "You called, sir?"

The captain points to the bridge, which had collapsed on half of it, the place more of a ramp than a bridge.

He tells him through the noise of the action. "The bridge fell after we got 3 cannons through. You're the strongest on the team and you have a Blue Wispon. You're going to build a bunch of blocks and hold the last part you don't have by yourself."

Bopper nods. "Will I get any backup to protect me down there?"

The captain shrugs. "We can only aim that low from a distance, so if anything gets underneath the bridge with you...you're on your own. Can you handle it?"

Bopper just salutes in return. "Yes sir!"

30 minutes later...

Bopper had managed to cover most of the trench below the bridge in blue blocks, helping keep the metal structure balanced and stable.

The only bit that he couldn't totally cover was at a former pillar near the other end of the bridge, meaning Bopper had to cover that part until all artillery had crossed.

Half of the artillery went through smoothly with no interruptions, leaving his squad to question whether Bopper would get a challenge or not.

When there was 10 cannons left, Bopper began to hear the sounds of air raids in the distance, promoting the moving crews to work faster.

But when 5 remained, the Buzz Bombers turned their attention to the bridge, determined to stop their heavy fire from reaching the rendezvous point.

They blasted one of them, causing a big explosion to ring out on the bridge, knocking soldiers off of it and sending the rubble of support beams down.

Bopper grabbed some debris and hit them like a baseball, launching it into the next wave of Buzz Bombers.

He repeated it with the wave that followed, but his actions wouldn't help with the next obstacle.

Suddenly, Infinite arrived to see the air attacks were barely doing anything to stop the artillery from getting across, with the exception of having lost one to now dodge around and losing a few men to make air resistance.
