Act 1: Allies

Chapter II: The Devil's Demons


Black Plague Caves

Alex and Jason swarmed the right part of the foundation caves. On the walls, there were thousands of green eggs pulsing. From the bottom, purple blood oozed its way on the floor.

"Holy shit!" Jason muttered. "Chickens definitely must've done it with an alligator or something, cause these things are UGLY!!!" he yelled.

"Shut up Jason. We don't know who's in here. What if we get caught and killed?" Alex asked.

"Relax, Al. Remember, we've got powers? You can start fire, I can teleport and throw glowing turds?" Jason replied cockily.

Alex glared at him, then mouthed 'Fck you'.

"Fck me? It's a weird request, but okay." Jason shot back.

The two stopped. A rumbling sound was heard, along with some grunting. Alex's torque arrow glowed as Jason's Black Arms blade extended.

"One…" Alex counted.

"Two…"

"Three!"

Alex went around the corner, then fired and arrow at one of the Plague hybrids legs.

"Ow! Jeez, what the fck did I ever do to you, you psycho?!" a rasp voice yelled.

Alex and Jason looked at the chained Espio, who was tending to his leg. He had gotten taller, and, surprisingly, lost the horn on his head.

"Sorry man. Here, let me get you outta these chains." Jason cut the organic chains, then took the arrow out Espio's leg. Espio grabbed his weapons, and then went back to the others.

"How long have you been here?" Alex asked.

"A few days. They've been feeding me some pretty good stuff, even put in a plasma-screen TV so I could enjoy my stay." Espio added.

"Did you find Sam?" Jason questioned.

"No, he got lost somewhere in the caves, near the hiding place of a Plague Demon, left path. Ya know, those big, ugly ones who charge at you and flatten you into a plate of fried Charmy."

Alex and Jason looked at each other, then Jason muttered:

"Oh, fck!"


Shadow and Knuckles were a few feet away from the hiding place of the Demon; unaware of the trouble they were going to face.

"… Knux, you must get out of there! There's a Plague Demon just a few feet ahead of you!" Alex cried.

Knuckles stopped, and then gazed at the big beast in front of him and Shadow. It was large and black, with soulless green eyes and brown spikes protruding from its back. It reeked of dead bodies and even had a few lodged in some of its 59 rows of teeth. The Demon gave a huge roar, nearly bringing a cave in on the three.


To be continued…

After the break, the whole squad heads inside the caves to plant the resonator and meet Sam the Roadrunner. One dies as the team meets the faces of evil. R n R!
