It had been sixty-three days since the virus started spreading. A strange ship had appeared over Rock'n City and started spraying a mysterious chemical all over the citizens. Some managed to escape the gas while others….. weren't so lucky. The citizens that were sprayed started dropping like flies. The thing was though they weren't staying dead because the virus started re-animating the corpses it had killed. The only safe area was New Mobotropilus. Unfortunately the normal heroes like Sonic couldn't go out to help for it would be too dangerous of a chance to lose them. The citizens that managed to escape formed into groups just to stay alive and fight off the zombies. There was one such group that consisted of six friends….
"We need to set up camp soon." said a fourteen year old grey wolf, "It's starting to get dark. Zero go set up the alarms, we don't want any of those uglies gettin' inta camp."
"I'm on it." said the sixteen year old black and red hedgehog.
"Techno, have the girls come back yet?"
"Not yet, Kilroy, but they should be here any minute with the supplies." replied the fifteen year old grey fox.
Night started falling and the girls still hadn't returned back from the mission yet. As time wore on the boys started getting a little worried about what had happened to them. As far as they knew all of them were armed with only bats, clubs, sticks and other bludgeoning weapons that can only be used in close-quarters combat which is never a good idea to use around zombies.
"I don't know about you guys but I'm going to go look for my girlfriend." said Kilroy.
"I'll go with you." said Zero.
"Me too." added Techno.
"No, we need someone to stay in the camp to make sure that those creatures don't get in." replied Zero.
"Yeah, Zero's right Techno, we need someone to stay at camp plus it's your turn to watch anyways."
Kilroy and Zero headed out of the camp to look for the girls. Last time they had seen them they had been headed towards the forest in what used to be the park. The place was covered with zombie activity.
"This should be fun." Kilroy said with a sarcastic tone.
"You know it wouldn't be fun without all these friends around." replied Zero.
When they started into the forest they did not encounter any zombies. It was dark and quiet in the woods. Only the occasional snap of the twig was heard which set the duo on edge even more. All of a sudden there was a rustle in the bushes and two dark figures popped out. Kilroy and Zero braced for an onslaught of zombies but instead the figures just stood there.
"Well are you just gonna' stand there or are you gonna' give your girl a kiss?" said one of the figures.
"Dark Star? Is that you?" said Zero.
"In the living flesh, who else did you expect? Beat is with me also." said the female red and black hedgehog.
"Where is she?" said Kilroy.
"We got separated while looking for water." said the blue fox.
"You lost her?"
"Calm down Kilroy. We'll go look for her together." said Dark Star.
"Hang on a second, I think I hear something over there."
Kilroy headed over to the edge of the clearing and started searching the bushes. He got to the nearest tree when something jumped on top of him and pinned him down.
