Heya, sorry about the wait, but I've been kind of busy, but here's the next chapter of Underworld!
Chapter Two
Meanwhile, Alyssa had been running through the tunnel trying to catch up with Tails, she soon came to another area of the subway, she got off the tracks and onto the platform, she could see blood on the floor along with a discarded silver bullet.
She walked over to the discarded bullet and picked it up analysing it, she guessed that Tails must have stopped and dug out the bullet, but she wasn't sure where he had gone or whether he was hiding somewhere. As she was analyzing the bullet, she suddenly heard a roar coming from the tunnel.
She quickly stood up and backed against the wall holding up her gun, she thought maybe Tails or some other Lycan was in the tunnel, so she prepared herself just in case they jumped out and attacked her. If they appeared she would be ready to shoot them dead. She slowly peeked around to see if anyone was coming and almost jumped out of her skin when a train suddenly roared past.
Alyssa rested back against the wall and sighed with relief, as the train sped past, she tried to get her breath back, as she did, the lights from the speeding train lit up the area, she turned to look away from the train and saw some blood on the wall, leaving a trail, she stepped towards the blood just as the train roared away down the dark tunnel.
She turned around the corner, then saw a hole in the ground with a gutter rail over it, she guessed that Tails must have gone down there to escape, she ran over to it, grabbed the gutter railings and pulled it up, she then jumped down the hole and found herself in the sewer.
She held her gun up and pointed it around with her finger on the trigger ready to fire, just in case Tails was around, she held her breath and pointed her gun in all directions, listening carefully for any movement or nose other than the dripping water and the echoing in the tunnel.
Just as she thought the coast was clear, she heard a loud bang from behind her causing her to duck in fright then spin around to face Tails who was firing his gun at her from behind. As quick as a flash she fired her gun several times at Tails each bullet hitting him in the chest. Tails fell to the ground screaming in agony as the silver bullets burnt him on the inside.
Alyssa then strode up to stand beside him and placed her heavy boot on his chest reloading her gun as she did so, she then proceeded to fire several more rounds into him, making sure he was good as dead. When she was satisfied he was dead she looked down and saw his gun that he had dropped.
She bent down and picked it up so she could study what was in the barrel, after what happened to one of her fellow Vampires upstairs on the platform she was curious to know what causing him to burn like he would have done in sunlight. She ejected the magnum and was shocked to discover bullets that shone in blue light; she recognised them as UV light.
As she studied them, she turned around as he heard the sound of another werewolf coming into the sewer; Knuckles must have followed the trail. As soon as she heard him jump down from the hole in the ceiling she turned to face him throwing some large shuriken stars at him.
After she threw them at him, it made him stop and roar in pain giving her time to flee, she ran as fast as she could down the tunnels of the sewers and she never stopped running until she got to another area of the sewer. She burst through a door and ran behind a wall stopping to get her breath back, she was confident that she had lost the Lycan chasing her but she knew he would catch up soon so she had to move again quickly.
As she got her breath back she suddenly heard shouts and growls coming from another part of the tunnel, she walked over to an area that that blocked by railings, she held her breath and held onto the railings listening carefully. She frowned as she began to hear the shouts and growls more clearly. It sounded like there were Lycans hiding in the sewers, there was no doubt about it, Alyssa knew those sounds, after being a Death Dealer for so long, she knew the sounds of Lycans and a whole pack of them if she heard them! As she listened she suddenly heard the sound of the Lycan she had thrown the Shurikans at, racing down the tunnels, so she quickly fled the scene.
Meanwhile, Alyssa was not wrong about the sounds above her, in the upper area of the sewers were a huge group of men shouting and cheering as two Lycans fought one another, it was a bit like a cock fighting game or bear baiting.
Some of the mobian men were cheering for one Lycan, whilst the others were cheering for the other Lycan. As the Lycans roared and growled and scratched each other the louder the crowd of male Lycans cheered. But their entertainment was cut short when the sound of a gun being let off scared them all into silence.
They all turned and looked towards where the bang had gone off and there stood a tall blue hedgehog dressed in dirty black clothes and a leather coat, the mobians gulped and stood still in fear as they looked upon their leader the most powerful and ruthless and very much alive Lycan Sonic the Hedgehog.
He strode over to the fighting Lycans through the crowd and glared at them. As he did, the two Lycans changed back into their mobian selves revealing themselves to be a tall muscular Crocodile and a tough messy looking Hawk.
The Blue hedgehog glared at them, then at the other mobians "You're acting like a pack of rabid dogs!" he barked angrily "And that, gentlemen, simply will not do. Not if you expect to defeat the vampires on their own ground".
"Not if you expect to survive at all" he snarled, he then turned to the Crocodile and Hawk "Vector! Jet!" he growled "Put some clothes on will you" Vector and Jet nodded in agreement and quietly put their clothes back on, Sonic watched them, then turned to walk out of the room, the other Mobians watched him as he left.
Meanwhile, Alyssa was driving away from the subway in her car, thinking about what she had heard in the tunnel, she pressed a button on the car near the radio and it bleeped. She looked up and saw ahead of her some large iron gates which opened leading her into a large courtyard of a mansion.
She parked the car, got out and strode up the steps; she then pushed open the doors and walked through a large luxurious front room where many vampire mobians were lounging around on sofas or chaise lounges, socialising, smoking and drinking. As Alyssa walked through, they smirked at how rough and dirty she looked.
Alyssa walked through the mansion until she got to a room where the death dealers would get their weapons and train. There were some death dealers talking in the training area and there was a walrus wearing leather and testing a gun whist sitting at a desk with many weapons and guns on display behind him.
Alyssa walked up to him and placed the gun she had taken from Tails on his desk, as soon as she did, he turned to face her. "We have a serious problem" said Alyssa. The Walrus picked up the gun as well as called for the Head of House to come and look at what Alyssa found.
In no time at all a smartly dressed Coyote came in with some other vampire mobians including a female red-headed fox and a tall male skunk. As they walked into the room, the walrus was holding up one of the UV bullets and studying it hard. "I'll have to run a few tests" said the Walrus, "it's defiantly an irradiated fluid of some sort"
Alyssa sighed "Ultraviolet Ammunition" she said, "Daylight harnessed as a weapon" said the Walrus, "You expect me to believe" said the coyote walking into the weaopary area and looking at the bullet "that a mangy animal came up with a bullet specifically engineered to kill vampires?", "No" said the walrus "I'm betting it's military, something they stole, some high-tech tracer round" Alyssa sighed again annoyed.
"Look I don't care where they go these things!" she snapped "Rigel is dead and Nathanial could still be out there! We should gather the death dealers and head back down there in force!" "Absolutely not" said the coyote, "not now, not for a random incursion! The Awakening is only a few days off, and this house is in a state of unrest as it is"
"Radom!" snapped Alyssa "They opened fire on us in full view of the public! And from the commotion I heard down in the tunnel..." "You said yourself" interrupted the coyote "You didn't actually see anything" "Look I know what I heard!" argued Alyssa "And I know what my gut tells me and I am telling you, there could be dozens of Lycans down there, who knows maybe more! Hundreds!"
"We've hunted them to the brink of extinction!" snapped the Coyote, Alyssa sighed and crossed her arms in annoyance, angry that no-one was listening to her. "Gabriel's right Alyssa" said the walrus "There's not been a den of that magnitude for centuries, not since the days of Sonic"
"I know that Rotor!" said Alyssa "but I'd rather have you prove me wrong by checking it out!" Rotor looked across to Gabriel and shrugged his shoulders asking him with his body language what they should do as Alyssa was getting more and more persuasive with wanting to find out about what she heard.
Gabriel thought for a moment then nodded "Very well" he said "Have your men tighten things up, I'll have Geoffrey assemble a search team" "No I want to lead the team myself!" said Alyssa "Absolutely not!" snapped Gabriel "Geoffrey will handle it!" he turned to Rotor "Hundreds? Really?"
Alyssa growled, knowing Gabriel did not believe her and seemed to not want to believe her, she could tell from his tone of voice that he hoped she was wrong, Rotor looked across to Alyssa who glared at Gabriel "Max would believe me" she spat striding out of the room angrily.
Gabriel watched her go, and frowned at her attitude, as soon as she left the room, the female red headed fox walked up to Gabriel and looked at him comfortingly. "I'd never dream of treating you like that" she said in a soft loving voice.
"Of course you wouldn't" said Gabriel with a smile, "now run along and make sure she's dressed and ready for the arrival of her guests" As he spoke he smirked at where Alyssa had stormed off, he then looked back at the fox who agreed with a nod and left the room.
Meanwhile, Alyssa had walked to another part of the mansion where the tombs of the Vampire Elders rested. She walked across to a glass window where a mobian was looking at the security TVs, as soon as he saw her, he pressed a button and two metal doors opened behind her. Alyssa looked behind her and as the metal doors opened some glass doors were revealed and through them it showed a large room with a throne and three circles in the marble floor, and saw the circle with the letter M on it showing it to be the tomb of Maximillum, one of the Vampire elders who was in hibernation.
There were two others as well, one in the middle that showed a large letter B and the other that showed a letter S as these were tombs of the other elders Blaze and Shadow. The Vampire Elders each reigned a century each and when their reign was over another took over. A Century before, Max had reigned the Vampires and after he went into Hibernation, Blaze took over. But Alyssa missed him.
As she continued to stare at the tomb of Max, the red headed fox walked in looking for her, Alyssa saw her but looked back at the tomb, she secretly wished that the fox did not come and talk to her, she wanted to be alone after being dismissed by Gabriel. The fox stood with her for a bit then sighed.
"It's a waste of time you know" she said "What is?" said Alyssa, "well I seriously doubt Max would want you freezing to death in here, staring at his tomb for hours on end" "No" snapped Alyssa "he would want the death dealers out there right now, scouring every inch of the city"
She then wrinkled her nose as she thought of Gabriel and him doubting her, "Gabriel" she snarled "I'll never understand why Max left him in charge, he's a bureaucrat not a warrior" the fox looked at the tomb then back at Alyssa remembering why Gabriel sent her after her in the first place.
"Come on we need to get you ready" she said "For what?" asked Alyssa "the party" said the fox "Blaze's envoy will be here any minute" Alyssa said nothing, the fox then left the room. Alyssa sighed then turned to walk out of the room.
Meanwhile, back in the Tunnel, Knuckles walked through the tunnels in his Mobian form, the Shurikans Alyssa had thrown at him were imbedded in his skin, he looked down and saw Tails's lifeless body laying on the cold wet ground, he bent down and picked up his fallen Lycan and continued to walk down the tunnel.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter! Hope to have another up soon!
