Time: 11: 42 P.M., one hour after the outbreak
The outbreak of the disease that shall end humanity started in a city called Mobotropolis. The disease was originally a cure for the rabies virus, but, at the Mobotropolis Medical Center, the cure was accidentally mixed with an unknown chemical. When the two chemicals mixed, they became a vapor and turned into a disease that went airborne. Anyone who was dead will rise up with no memory of who they are or were. They just have one thing on their mind, and that is to eat anything that consists of meat. The disease infected a patient at the medical center who has died. The patient opened its eyes and they had no color. A nurse came into the patient's room to check on him, but she got bit. That is also how one turns. If you get bitten, you die and turn into these mindless beasts; or you die by either natural causes or by murder, then you turn. One must destroy the brain or remove the head of these monsters in order to officially kill it.
The real story starts with three hedgehogs inside a palace. They are the children of the Queen of Mobotropolis, Queen Aleena. The three hedgehogs are triplets, two boys and one girl; all at the age of fifteen.
The female hedgehog is a pink and violet color. She is wearing purple gloves that go to her elbows, red top, violet belt, red skirt and purple boots that go past her knees. She also wears a necklace with a keyboard charm. Her name is Sonia
One of her brothers is a green hedgehog who just wore a brown sleeveless jacket, sneakers, sunglasses on his forehead and a necklace like his sister's but it had a drum set. His name is Manic
The final one of the triplets was a blue hedgehog with just sneakers and a necklace around his neck with a guitar charm. He is the most famous of the three, his name is Sonic.
The three of them are playing Yahtzee around a coffee table in their living area inside their palace. They are waiting for their mother to arrive home from an important city conference.
"Yahtzee! What now?!" Sonia shouts.
"Damn it, she's good," Manic says.
"She got Yahtzee for the past five times," Sonic says, "I think the dice is rigged." Almost immediately after Sonic says that, their mother walks in through the big palace doors rubbing her head. There is a weird mark on her left forearm. "Hey mom, how was the conference?"
"Turns out they are not going to pass the new bill," Alenna says. "And as I was walking home, some lunatic bit my forearm." She walks over to her kids and shows them the bite.
"Are they cannibals?" Sonia asks.
"Probably." The queen replies with a chuckle. "Anyway, I'm going to bed, it's almost midnight." And with that, she went to her room, and goes to sleep easily. But, by the next morning, she awakes, but not as herself. That bite wasn't from a cannibal; it was from one of the mindless beasts. Queen Aleena is now one of them.
Time: 7: 52 A.M., nine hours and ten minutes after outbreak
Meanwhile, the Queen's children were in the kitchen eating breakfast and the TV in the kitchen is tuned into the news. The anchor just received breaking news. "A new disease has been airborne eight hours ago. It is able to affect the dead. It resurrects them and turns them into monsters that eat anything that moves. The disease is international. So far, it has spread throughout all of North America and the northern parts of South America. The disease is expected to go global within a week and a half. If you get bitten, amputate that part of your body to prevent yourself from turning into one of these monsters. In order to help rid these monsters is to either remove the head or destroy the brain. Do not go outside to seek loved ones. Stay indoors until the military seeks living survivors." The three hedgehogs eyes were wide and they were still as statues.
"You don't think when mom was bitten; was she bitten by one of those zombie things?" Manic says.
"For all we know, it probably is just another dude who snorted bath salts," Sonic says. Sonia rushes to her mother's room and opens the doors to them. She sees her mother standing in the middle of the room with the color of her eyes gone and she looks like she is dead. Aleena makes some weird noises and starts walking towards Sonia. Sonia is scared out of her mind. She immediately closes the doors and locks them. She hears her mother pounding on the other side making those horrid zombie noises.
"SHE TURNED!" Sonia shouts with water forming in her eyes.
"WHAT!" The two male hedgehogs said simultaneously. The two run as fast as they could to Sonia.
"What do we do?" Manic says. "Should we leave her?"
"I think that's a good idea," Sonic says, "if we just leave her in there, she wouldn't harm anyone else."
"I think you two are right," Sonia says in panic.
"I'll radio Tails to get Amy, Vanilla and Cream in the X-Tornato," Sonic says. He pushes his glove up and on his wrist is a communicator that looks like a watch. He punches in his friend, Tails' contact.
"Sonic, did you see?" Tails says. Tails is just a two tailed fox that is a gifted mechanic and just wears sneakers.
"Yeah, my mom turned. Listen, Get Amy, Cream, and Vanilla in the X-Tornato. Me, Sonia, and Manic will be on our own. We'll meet up at Chris' mansion."
"Sounds good, be careful Sonic." Then, Sonic disconnects the call.
"Before we go," Manic says, "I have something that could help us on the way."
"What do we need? We all can go faster than the speed of sound," Sonic says.
"I've got some weapons." Sonia and Sonic looked at Manic with wide eyes. "Follow me." The three rush to Manic's room. Manic is kneeling at the side of his bed, pulling out a case. The other two look at Manic then to each other and shrug. Manic places the case on the bed and opened it. Inside the case is a pistol with three clips of ammunition, a crowbar and a machete. Sonia and Sonic look at the contents in awe. "Weapons are important," Manic says grabbing the pistol and cocking it. He put the clips of ammunition inside his jacket. Sonia grabs the machete and Sonic grabs the crowbar. They are set.
The three walk out of their front door and just stan on the steps. On the streets, there were dozens, maybe even hundreds of zombie creatures. Cars were crashed on the streets and gunfire with screaming was heard in the distance. "Holy s##t," Sonia says, "It's hell on earth". (A/N: I will be censoring the F and S word, along with other stuff you shouldn't say on TV)
"Well, let's roll," Sonic says. And with that, the three speed out of the city in no time along with no bites.
