8:20 A.M., one day, nine hours and thirty eight minutes after the outbreak
Sonic, Sonia, and Tails arrive in the outskirts of the city. They take a look at the city. Sonia still has her machete, Sonic has a tight grip on his crowbar and Tails has his pistol in his hands. "Alright guys," Sonic says, "we're jogging from here." Sonia and Tails nod. They start jogging and the three head into the city. The city very quiet. Sonic sees a few zombies ahead. He stops and hides behind a building. The other two follow what he's doing.
"As much as I want to shoot them, I shouldn't," Tails says. "I don't have a suppressor for the gun at the moment, so I'm S.O.L."
"We can work a way around them," Sonic says. After he says that, something bumps into him. Worried, he turns around and sees a rabbit with a robotic left arm, two robotic legs, and a purple swimsuit like dress on. "Bunnie?"
"Sonic," the rabbit says in a southern accent. She gets up and hugs Sonic tightly. "It's so good to see ya' shuga'."
"Nice to see you too," Sonic says horsely. "Thank God you're okay." Bunnie looks behind Sonic and sees Tails.
"Tails!" Bunnie lets go of Sonic and tightly hugs Tails. "How ya doin' big guy?"
"Well, in this mess, not too bad."
"Bunnie, how is everyone else?" Sonic asks. Bunnie just shakes her head.
"Everyone else is dead, aside from Sally," she answers.
"Antoine?"
"Gone"
"Rotar?"
"Dead"
"Nicole?"
"Her too." Sonic dropped to his knees and placed his hands on the ground and started to sob. He couldn't believe that most of his friends from the Freedom Fighters are gone. Tails was in shock and Sonia kneeled next to Sonic and placed her hand on his back.
"Damn it all," Sonic says pounding his fist on the pavement with his voice quivering. "This is f##king insane."
"Bunnie, what about Sally, where is she?" Tails asks.
"We're at her palace. We've been hiding out there. We're not sure how long we'd last 'cause all the guards turned within the first few hours of the outbreak, they turned so we have no one defending the palace."
"So in short," Sonia starts off, "it's you and Sally in an abandoned palace and you're practically screwed."
"Yeup."
"We can bring you two to the campsite we have," Sonic says getting up wiping the tears from his eyes. "It's in the mountains outside Station Square. We have good people there, an unlimited amount of water, and plenty of food."
"You had me at unlimited water. I'm in. I'm sure Sally would love to be part of your group too," Bunnie says. "We have to head to Sally's palace and that is in the next city over."
"No problem, we all can make it in no time," Sonic says. "Get on my back Bunnie, were going to go a little fast." Bunnie smiles and gets on Sonic's back, wrapping her arms around his neck while Sonic held onto her legs. "Tails, Sona, just follow me and don't get bitten." Sonic speeds of with Sonia and Tails following him.
8:30 A.M., one day, nine hours, and forty nine minutes after the outbreak
The group of four arrived in front of the giant palace. It looked very identical to Buckingham Palace. There are a few zombies dressed as guards walking around the palace. "Like I said, this place is roaming with walkers," Bunnie says.
"Is that what you call them?" Sonia asks. Bunnie nods.
"I left the door unlocked but closed. The walkers can't open a door unless they try to bust through it. And the main doors to the palace are seven inches of bullet proof steel."
"Durable door that's unlocked, not much of a problem aside from the 'walkers'," Tails says. "Alright, I got an idea, just move as fast as you can straight toward the doors, bash a zombie head if it gets too close to ya. Got it?" The other three nod. The group of four all took a deep breath and all sprinted as fast as they can towards the doors. Sonia and Sonic take out at most three zombies each to get to the entrance. The other zombies noticed the group of fours presence. They started roaming closer to the group. Fortunately, the four got inside before any of them could get even touched by the zombies.
When they got inside, Bunnie immediately locked the door tightly. The four are in the foyer for the palace. "That was close," Sonic says. "I think i may need something more sharper than this crowbar."
"I can help with that," a voice from behind them. The four turned around and the voice came from no other than Sally. She is in her normal blue boots and she is also wearing black under armor shorts and a blue tanktop.
"Sally," Sonic says dropping the crowbar and running toward her to give her a hug. "Thank Christ you're okay."
"You two Sonic." Sally looks behind him and sees Tails. "Tails!" She lets go of Sonic and dashes towards Tails and gives him a hug. "Thank goodness you alive."
"Right back at you Sally," Tails says.
"Who's the purple hedgehog?"
"The name's Sonia, Sonic's sister," Sonia says extending her hand, Sally complies by shaking it.
"Nice to meet you."
"Likewise."
"So Sally, you said you can help me with my crowbar situation," Sonic says. Sally nods. She heads over to a bust of one of her ancestors. She lifts the head of the bust and there is a red button on the base of the neck. She presses it and the wall behind the bust turns around. The wall behind the bust revealed a small weapons rack. There were several pistols with clips and suppressors and sharp hand weapons. "These would definately do. By the way, we have a campsite in the mountains outside of Station Square, Bunnie says she'll go back with us, you in?"
"Hell ya I'm in," Sally says. "Lets grab some of these weapons first. Anything we don't grab, put in this duffle," She points to the duffle hanging on the wall. Tails puts the duffle on the ground and everyone aside from Tails grabs a pistol, clips and a surpressor. Tails does grab a surpressor though. All the other weapons are in the duffle that Tails will carry. "Bunnie, hold on to Sonia, Sally, get on my back, Tails you got the weapons?"
"Yeup," the kitsune says. The now group of five are at the door. Sally is on Sonic's back, Bunnie is on Sonia's back and Tails is holding on to the weapons.
"You guys ready?" Sonic asks. Everyone nods. "Here we go." Sonic unlocks the door and him along with his friends speed off back to the campsite not hurt.
