Chapter 25: Dark Klaxon Mayhem and Zombie Attack, 1

Tails and Soul were working on the Tornado, with Tails working some electronics and Soul bringing in paint for the jet. Now normally Klaxon would help but due to him being in his Dark Form and being more...mischievous (and arrogant)...he decided to cause a little trouble for the two. His shadow came to life and slowly edged its way towards Soul and stuck its "foot" out and tripped her causing her to spill the paint all over her, while he moved over in a blink of an eye and threw a switch causing Tails to get electrocuted. After the chaos went away, both glared at him as he filed his nails/claws.

"[D] What?" said Dark Klaxon looking at the two confused.

"Your shadow is laughing at us." growled Tails crossing his arms and tapping his foot while glaring at Dark Klaxon. Klaxon turned around to see his shadow laughing at them. He grabbed it by the throat and pulled it in close.

"You idiot! You blew our cover!" growled the shadow writhed Wolf/Dragon Hybrid as he choked his shadow, he then dragged the still laughing, yet choking, shadow out of the hangar.

"Is his personality different?" asked Soul following the Hybrid the best she could.

"Yes. He does get personality changes with each of his forms." came the voice of Zetsu from behind her causing her to jump and slip on spilt paint.

"Sorry! That was funny. No it wasn't! Yes, it was. Shut up!" said Zetsu as he walked off. The two then heard Klaxon yelling and the sounds of fighting and both winced when the sound of a piano falling and hitting something reached their ears followed by a pained scream.

"Guess he learned something the hard way." muttered Tails.

"[D] I HEARD THAT YOU TWO-TAILED FREAK!" came Dark Klaxon's voice, "Sorry! Didn't mean that pal!" came Klaxon's regular voice. Tails sighed before he helped Soul up from the paint puddles.

"Looks like we need to get cleaned up, you more than me." said Tails.

"What do you mean?" said Soul.

"Well, um, I'll explain in a minute."

Station Square; 1 Hour Later

Klaxon was lounging on a tree branch when he noticed something; it was quiet, too quiet. He knew that cities were supposed to have loud noises going on but now...it was dead quiet. He jumped down from the branch and pulled out a mace. He cautiously looked around him and saw nothing.

"This quietness feels like how it felt before the Necromorph incident back home." muttered Klaxon to himself as he prepared for an attack. Suddenly something jumped him from behind and he heard it growling and he got it off him easily and then he noticed what it was before he bashed its head in.

"Great, Zombies." said Klaxon before he took to the air and landed on top of a Gas Station, he then activated the comm-link he had.

Mystic Ruins

Tails dried his fur on his head after rinsing the soot out from Klaxon electrocuting him indirectly when his comm-link went off. He picked it off the counter and activated it.

"Hello?" said Tails sitting on the couch.

"Hi Tails. Uh, listen, we have a small problem here in town." came the voice of Klaxon sounding nervous.

"What?"

"ZOMBIES ARE EVERYWHERE!"

Tails felt like his ears just exploded after Klaxon yelled and it wasn't for a good five minutes before he continued the conversation.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, I'm stuck on top of a gas station with Zombies crowding the place. So get your two-tailed a$$ down here...NOW!"

Tails flinched again after the last part and deactivated the communicator and clutched his ears for a second before the sound of helicopter blades reached his ears. He and Soul (after she had dried herself off and gotten dressed) went outside to see a black helicopter hovering a few feet off the ground and the doors open.

"Get in. Both of you." said Moustache Man waving them in. Both got in and sat down.

"Name's Blackout and we're going to help Klaxon." said the pilot as he flickered for a second.

"Wait. You're like the War brothers and Drifter?" said Tails.

"Yep. Former Decepticon turned Autobot, or Autocon. Fought with War brothers in a war or two, saw one get killed...heck, even I'm dead." said the pilot before he let out a chuckle freaking both out.

"Wait. You're DEAD?!"

"Yep, brought back to life and, no, I'm not a zombie. I'm alive, so is Warmonger."

"He died too?"

"Yep. Don't bring it up though, we don't like talking about. Drop Zone approaching, grab a chute and get ready."

"What? We're jumping?!"

"Yeah. I can't land on the gas station. Don't worry, the others are arriving you'll be fine."

Soul grabs a parachute and Tails helps her get it on and then both wait for the door to open, only...the floor opens up.

"Auf Wiedersehen!(1)" said Blackout as the two fell. The two managed to safely land on the building and saw Klaxon wielding a massive mini-gun and blowing the Zombies to pieces.

"Finally you two get here!" snapped Klaxon not even taking his eyes off the enemy, "Get shooting!"

Klaxon's tail throws Tails a SMG (SubMachine Gun) who catches it and starts shooting the Zombies. Suddenly one gets close to Klaxon but he pulls out a eight-barreled 12-guage shotgun and blows off its head. Instead of dropping the Zombie's neck sprouts a weird tentacle-like parasite that forms a claw and it starts swinging at Klaxon.

"EEEP! TAILS! SAVE ME!" screamed Klaxon jumping into Tails' arms and latching on.

"GET OFF!" snapped Tails trying to get free of Klaxon's grip. Klaxon then jumped off Tails and smashed a Zombie's head in with his foot.

"Need evac here!" said Klaxon as Blackout hovered overhead.

"GET DOWN!" came Blackout's voice and the trio followed his orders as the helicopter open fired on the zombies, wiping most of them out. He transformed and held his arm out.

"Get on!"

The trio climb up as Blackout open fires on the gas station, turning it into a raging inferno. Suddenly Klaxon freezes.

"Blackout, transform! NOW!" snapped Klaxon and the three find themselves back inside the helicopter, Tails and Soul wide-eyed by what happened. The two look out the window and Tails, who played a Deadspace game, saw Necromorphs running around.

"W-what's going on?" said Tails shocked.

"Every game, movie, or character, has their own universe. Like for example, my friend Freddy." said Klaxon and the nightmare master appears from a puff of fire and bows before he takes his seat .

"So you mean to tell me, WE HAVE NECROMORPHS TO DEAL WITH!?" yelled Tails a tick mark on his forehead and his eye twitching.

"Hey, hey, hey. Calm down. I fought these things when I was younger...but I did have some help. Gosh, where's Alex when you need him?" said Klaxon leaning back and putting his hand/claws to his forehead.

"Blackout, containment stage one."

"Yes, sir." said Blackout before he fired a blue orb towards the city that engulfed it in a blue force-field.

"Great, that'll help any SURVIVORS!" snapped Tails.

"I know what I'm doing you snot-nosed brat!" snapped Klaxon back.

"That's no way to talk to Tails!" snapped Soul.

"WOULD YOU BOTH JUST SHUT UP AND LET ME DO MY JOB?! I'M ABOUT READY TO LEAVE THIS WORLD AND LET YOU DEAL WITH THESE THINGS YOURSELVES SO EITHER YOU TAKE MY HELP OR I LEAVE!" yelled Klaxon his eyes going a glowing blood-red for second before he jumped out of the helicopter.

END CHAPTER

Sorry, felt like splitting the Zombie attack chapter into two chapters. Well, enjoy.
