Hey, everybody. fanfiction9821 here with the third and final installment in the Halloween Frights trilogy. If you thought the first two were pretty scary, then get strapped into your seats because this story is about the most fearsome monster in history: the werewolf, or in this case, the werehog as shown in Sonic Unleashed. For those who had played or seen walkthroughs on Unleashed, then you know what I'm talking about. If you hadn't done one out of the two, you've obviously been living under a rock. But enough with the chitchat. Let's get to the story. Here it is: Curse of the Werehog, premiering on your PCs, laptops, cell phones, and smartphones worldwide.
"I'm pretty sure this is a really bad time to be exploring the forest," Manik said as he and the other Omega Rangers walked through the moonlit forest near New Mobotropolis.
"Come on, Manik. What's the worst that can happen? One of us get bitten by a wolf? Like that'll happen," Dominic said.
"I'll have to side with Manik on this one, Dominic. Night is the right time for a wolf to strike," Josh said.
"Besides, we're here because there's been strange howling going on at night and we were sent here to investigate," Shade said.
"Well, we could've gone investigating during the day when it's safe, not at night where we're likely to be turned into werewolves," Sonia said.
"Technically, the term would be 'Weremobians' and all of us wouldn't be turned into those because Lara and I can hold our own."
"That's right, Josh. We're pretty tough," Lara said, agreeing with Josh.
"All I'm saying is that we should be careful. We don't know when some random wolf's gonna come out and..." Sonia was cut off when a wolf started howling at the moon.
"There's that howling again," Josh said.
"Sounded like it was coming from over there."
"To me, it sounded like it was coming from that clearing."
"You're both wrong. It sounded like it came from the top of that mountain."
"Then we'll just have to split up to see which one of us is right," Shade said.
"And I bet Josh already has the groups decided," Manik said.
"What makes you two think I always have the groups decided," Josh asked before Shade and Manik glared at him.
"Okay, so here's how we're doing it. Sonia goes with Manik, Dominic goes with Shade, and Lara goes with me."
"Sounds fair."
"Split up."
"Come on, Lara. We're going up to that mountain," Josh said.
"Sounds like a plan." Lara and Josh then went towards the mountain path to check out the summit of the mountain.
"Come on, sis. We have to check that river," Manik said before leading Sonia over to the river.
"And we have to check that clearing," Shade said before leading Dominic over to the clearing.
"Nothing here, Manik. It seems that either Josh or Shade were right in where that howling was coming from."
"Seems that way. Come on. We should get back to where we were."
"I'm right behind you," Sonia said as she followed Manik."
"There's nothing even here."
"Shocker. Come on. We should get back to where we were before we split up."
"No way. If Manik and Josh hear about this, I'll never hear the end of it," Shade said.
"Fine. Have it your way. I'm so outta here," Dominic said before walking back to the rendezvous point.
"Fine! Get outta here. I don't need you to protect me. I can protect myself pretty well." Shade then stood there with his arms crossed before various sounds were heard around him.
"Dominic, wait up," Shade said before flying after Dominic.
"See anything, Josh," Lara asked.
"Nothing up here. I guess I was wrong this time. That howling must have been coming from some other forest."
"Like Jasper Park just upped and moved all the way to Mobius."
"I'm serious, 'Su. Maybe this is no wolf after all," Josh said.
"Then what was behind all that howling," Lara asked.
"I'm not sure, but it had to be something."
"Like what?"
"I just don't know, okay? I don't know," Josh said.
"Fine. Then we better meet up with the others," Lara said as she climbed down the mountain.
"Sounds like a plan." Josh then climbed down the mountain, following behind Lara.
"Hey, Lara," Josh said.
"Yeah?"
"Do you ever get the feeling like we're being watched by something sinister?"
"Watched, yes. Sinister, no. Why? Do you feel something," Lara asked.
"Yeah. I just feel like something's there waiting for the right moment to strike," Josh said before a wolf jumped out of the bushes and bit him in the leg.
"Josh!"
"Get out of here, Lara. Save yourself."
"No Omega Ranger left behind," Lara said.
"I seriously have to change that motto," Josh said to himself as Lara walked up to him.
"Get lost, Balto. That's my friend."
"Oh, I'll leave, but it's too late for your friend," the wolf said before leaving.
"Well, that was strange," Lara said.
"Yeah. Besides Balto and the wolves from Alpha and Omega, do any other wolves talk?"
"None that I know of. Come on, Josh. Grab my hand."
"All right," Josh said before grabbing Lara's hand. Lara then helped her friend/teammate/leader up to his feet.
"Thanks. Come on. We have to meet up with the others."
"You're not going to get very far with that leg of yours. I'll help you over there," Lara said.
"I've had enough help. It's time I helped myself," Josh said before walking off. Before Josh had a chance to meet with his team, he fell to the ground.
"Hedgehog down. Needs assistance."
"I swear, you are such a guy." Lara then helped Josh to his feet before putting his arm around her shoulder and helping him to the rendevous point.
