Forced Alliance

Chapter 1

A/N: Thank you @SkyireTheFlyer for the amazing cover, You're art is awesome, if you're reading this give them a follow, please.

And a few things to clear up before we start
Henry does a lot more talking than in canon in this story, sorry he seems a bit ooc (and sorry if any other characters seem ooc)
Oh and this is also after the Revenged ending

Henry's POV

I woke up to muffled talking and a bright light shining through my eyelids
     "I thought I was dead, how am I hearing voices?" I thought in confusion, remembering when Reginald shot me in my back just before the airship crashed, killing us both in the end
I tried to move or at least open my eyes but everything wouldn't respond to my thoughts so I just laid there, waiting for either my body to respond or for my consciousness to go back to the peaceful darkness that I was awoken from.

     "General, it seems like he's waking up"
     "Make sure the restraints are in place, who knows what he can do if he gets lose"
After what felt like forever, I finally made out a few sentences and was able to move a bit.

I let my eyes flutter open only to be met by a bright light and an all too familiar pair of eyes
     "Oh great," I mentally sighed seeing I was too tired to actually talk at the moment (not like I really talked anyways)
     "If it isn't Henry Stickmin, looks like someone has decided to wake up" General Galeforce crossed his arms, glaring down at me then turned to a third person in the room "Thank you, Dr V, I'll take it from here" he dismissed the other person in the room
     "Still can't believe he got himself killed again within an hour of waking up" Dr V muttered as she walked out the door.

After taking a moment to adjust to being back in the land of the living, I tried to sit upright but the restraints kept me from doing so.
     "What do you want?" I asked in a warning tone after giving up on sitting
     "No need to get so feisty, we just want to have a chat" General Galeforce spoke, not answering my question.

     "I'm still waiting" I mutter after few minutes of silence
     "We want you to help us with a certain problem with the remaining Toppats, even if you did betray us, we now have a common enemy," he informed
     "And why would I help you? I want nothing to do with you or the Toppats, not now and not ever" I snapped
     "I wasn't giving you a choice Henry, but if that's the way you're going to behave I guess we can always see if a person with cybernetics can survive longer being tied up than a normal person" Galeforce threatened, which seemed unlike him even with the little knowledge I know about him
     "He must be desperate," I thought with a frown 

"What do I get in return if I do accept? You always to seem to be open with returning help" I asked
     "We'll get there when we get there, don't want you betraying us again" Galeforce stated to my annoyance
     "You just said you don't want to be betrayed again so how do you know I won't do it again?" I asked, hoping he would reconsider this and let me go
     "We don't know, but we do know that you're not dumb enough to betray us when we have eyes on you at all times" General smirked
     "What do you mean by that?" I asked out of curiosity 
     "I was hoping you would say that," He remarked, taking out a device with a red dot on it "This is a tracker, when we revived you we placed a tracker in you so we will know where you are and what you're doing at all times" he explained
     "Isn't that stalking" I questioned with a childish voice
     "Not when it's for good reasons" he replied and headed to the door "Sleep on the thought, answer me in the morning and remember, we have eyes on you" he glared, closing and locking the door after him.

That night, I had a restless sleep. Mainly from the restraints but the choice lingered in my mind;

Accept

or

Decline

A/N Comment what you think Henry should choose

And sorry if it was short, I just felt like it was a good time to cut the chapter
