-------------------------
AMS Headquarters

"I don't think I'll ever get used to that." Ryan commented to himself.
"Now where am I? Looks like a bad horror set."
Ryan picked up a portfolio.
"Hmm, let's see. According to this, my duplicates persona in this dimension is part of the AMS
Security squad. And my partners are..suprise,suprise, Agents Sonic, Tails, and Sally. I wonder what the
AMS do anyway."
Suddenly a blue hedgehog walked through the door.
"Yo, Ryan. We're going to be late."
"Umm, okay. Let's go, I guess."
-------------------------
1998.12.18

The Curien Mansion Incident.
Two AMS agents, "C" and "Bernie" went to investigate.
They faced countless atrocious enemies.
They battled on taking damage and zapping zombies.
The mad scientist Dr. Curien;
"Magician" the ultimate enemy.
Against all odds, They were finally able to defeat him.
They thought that they had solved the case....
Yet one year later, unprecedented horror is about to repeat itself.

TYPE OR DIE!
THE TYPING OF THE DEAD

--------------------------
2000.2.22

"Here," Sonic said handing Ryan a backpack, "put this on."
"What the heck is this?" Ryan said, "It looks like a Dreamcast with a battery attached."
"Standard issue EKGX-8000 Typing Gun. The only way to take down the enemy."
"Who is the enemy?" Ryan asked.
"Their leader is unknown. All we know is that they are some type of zombie."
"So why the weird weaponry?"
"For some reason, they are invulnerable to gun fire. Their only weakness is a word that floats in front
of them. By typing that word, we can defeat them. Now let's go."
They jumped in the car and started down the street.
--------------------------
Chapter 1: A Prelude

"We're meeting C over there." Sonic said.
Suddenly a demonic looking minature zombie came flying in front of them.
"What the?" Ryan asked.
"My name is Kraul. I've already taken care of C. You're next! Get 'em!" Kraul said.
Jumping out of the car, Ryan and Sonic typed away eliminating the zombies coming toward them.
Running to the meeting hall, they entered the door.
"Please be safe, C." Sonic said.
More zombies popped out and started to attack.
Ryan furiously typed away and decimated them.
Near the back, C was crouched over.
"No, C!"
"SONIC! They're too strong, I couldn't take them. Here, take this." C said handing Sonic a key card,
"Tails and Sally are coming to back us up. GO!"
"Thanks, C." Sonic replied.
Just outside the back entrance, they were too late to stop an axe wielding zombie from killing an innocent.
"I don't wanna die." He shouted.
"MY GOD!" Ryan said.
Suddenly a feminine scream came from down the alleyway.
A normal zombie was chasing her.
Ryan skillfully blasted the zombie to pieces.
"Please help my friend." She said.
Behind them, two zombies were ganging up on her friend.
"HELP ME!" he screamed.
Ryan took the one on the left and Sonic the one on the right.
"Thank you for saving me. You can get out that way." he said.
Ryan and Sonic went through the alleyway and came across a drain gate.
Suddenly worm-like creatures popped out.
One jumped and started to suck on Ryan.
"AH! Get it off me!"
Sonic shot it off and Ryan rubbed the sore spot on his arm.
"Look," Sonic said pointing towards red spots on the ground, "C's bloodstains."
They continued down the path when a little boy ran out of a door.
"They're behind me." he screamed.
Two wierd masked zombies jumped out of the door. They had the heads of monkies and started jumping around.
Ryan and Sonic typed away and had to type three words for each of them just to destroy them.
"That was tough." Ryan commented.
"AHHHH!"
"Who was that?"
"Look." Sonic said pointing to a woman hanging on to a ledge.
"Quick shoot the barrel out of the zombie's hands." Sonic said.
Ryan took the zombie while Sonic took care of the barrel.
"Thank you." she said handing Ryan a life-up.
The red mark on Ryan's arm from where he was bitten disappeared.
"All right!" Ryan shouted.
They walked forward when a huge zombie knocked away the cars parked there.
"Seems like my advice had no effect." Kraul said flying in, "Suffer like C did."
"Sonic what's its weakness?"
Flipping open a book, Sonic said, "It's a JUDGEMENT 48. Kraul is its weakness. Go for his words."
Kraul flew around and Judgement moved closer.
Ryan and Sonic furiously typed away the sentences to weaken them.
Judgement soon fell and Kraul was left.
"Great, we still have to deal with him." Sonic said.
Kraul laughed as he charged them.
However, he was too soon to boast as Ryan and Sonic typed him to death.
"SIR E-G-G..." was the last words from Kraul.
"Ryan, Sonic!"
"Huh? Hey, its Sally and Tails."
"What the hell is going on in this city?" Ryan asked.
"Don't know, but it is similar to the 1998 Curien case."
"That case?!" Sonic asked.
"Guys, go prevent the confusion in the city." Sally said.
"We'll meet at Sunset Bridge." Tails said.
"Ok. No more fooling around." Ryan said.
-------------------------------------
Chapter 2: Muddy

In a office building: A mysterious man was sitting at his desk. "Dogs of the AMS, time they made a move." he
said.

A car covered in zombies came carenning around the bend.
"HELP!" the driver shouted.
Meanwhile, Ryan and Sonic were planning what to do.
"We need to hurry! Huh?" Ryan said.
Thanks in part to their quick reflexes, the managed to save the driver.
"Thank you." he said handing them a life-up.
Walking up the stairs towards the harbor, they were ambushed by two axe-wielding zombies.
"Ouch!" Sonic screamed getting stuck with one of the axes.
Filled with anger, Sonic made them wish they were never created.
"Hey, Sonic. Calm down man." Ryan said, "Use this."
Ryan handed Sonic the life-up and the wound disappeared.
"Thanks man." Sonic said.
Walking down a pathway, they were attacked by zombiefied owls.
"Damn!" Ryan said as one of them clipped his head.
They disposed of them and went further.
Their were two zombies outside a door and were trying to get in.
"HELP ME!" someone shouted from inside.
They took care of the zombies and the man thanked them.
Walking forward they came to a gate.
In front of it was a man and a key.
Ryan picked up the key and opened the gate.
A young boy ran out of a door being chased by a fat zombie.
Ryan fried the porker zombie with his mad typing skills.
"My dad is still inside." he said.
"Don't worry, we'll save him." Sonic reassured the boy.
Going in the walked till they heard a noise.
"Wait, listen." Ryan said.
A door burst open and a man came running out chased by a ugly mother of a zombie.
Sonic put it out of its misery.
"My son..." the man started.
"Don't worry, sir. He's outside." Ryan said.
"Thank you." he said handing Ryan a life-up kit.
Ryan used it to get rid of that cut on his head from the owl.
Walking through the building into another alley, the ran into a bunch of bottom-less zombies.
"Ewww. And I thought that last one was disgusting." Ryan said.
They toasted those and moved on.
They walked past a house but were stopped by what the heard on the radio.
"This is channel seven news..Someone or something has...taken...the...city."
"We need to hurry!" Sonic shouted.
They made it to the bridge and ran into Sally and Tails.
"The chaos in the city seems to be increasing." Ryan said.
"It's about that. It seems that Eggman..."
"Huh? We'll talk later." Sonic said as he ran to the bridge.
"What is that?" Ryan said as a freaky looking aquatic zombie busted up through the bridge.
Flipping open his book, Sonic said, "Its a HIEROPHANT 75. Its weakness is its chest. Type when it is open."
The sentences appeared and they typed like crazy when its chest was open.
After taking a moderate amount of damage, it jumped into the water.
"What's it doing?" Ryan asked.
"Don't know. Let's see and wait." Sonic replied.
After a few seconds, it appeared up in the air.
"Huh? Hurry type before it hits us." Sonic said.
They knocked Hierophant back and typed like crazy.
Hierophant screamed in pain and fell back dead through the hole.
Ryan and Sonic jumped off the edge and into the boat with Tails and Sally.
"Don't care who it is, they want get away with this." Ryan shouted.
-----------------------------
Chapter 3: Darkness

The group of heroes were speeding along the river.
"You remember the 1998 Curien case? Guess who's behind it? It was Eggman. He is the head of one of the most
emminent financial groups, and an expert of the Genome theory. We need to stop him." Tails said.
"You drive, Sonic and I will cover you." Ryan said.
Their path was blocked by a group of green, aquatic zombies.
One took a shot at Ryan, but he managed to dodge in time.
"Ryan, are you all right?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Sally's cell-phone went off.
"Yes, this is Sally. Yes. Yes."
"Who was that?" Tails asked.
"That was Eggman. He says he'll be waiting for us at the Colisieum."
"Hmm, it may be a trap...but we better go anyway." Tails said.

Moving forward, a boat came down another path.
"Help me!" the driver shouted.
There was a fat zombie and an axe-wielding zombie on his boat.
Ryan handily took care of the fat one, while Sonic decimated the axe-wielding one.
"Thank you for saving me. I'll open the water gate for you." the man said.
Moving through the gate, they came upon more aquatic zombies and zombified fish.
They manuevered through the twisting ways of the cities riverways and came upon a set of stairs.
"You guys go underground. We'll go through the tunnels." Tails said.
"I'll call if something happens." Sally said.
Walking up the stairs and going into a tunnel, they ran into three black, moldy zombies.
"Yeah, now something's happening." Ryan said in a sarcastic tone.
They typed them out of existence and came upon two more zombies chasing a teenaged boy.
"No, get them away from me."
Ryan took the one on the right and Sonic took the one on the left.
"Thanks, my friends went inside and haven't come back yet. I told them not to go."
Ryan and Sonic were about to enter an access tunnel when a man ran out, was grab by some snake thing and
started to scream.
"What the?" Sonic asked.
They followed the screams and came upon a three-headed snake zombie.
"What in the name of God is that?" Ryan asked.
"According to this book, it is a TOWER 8000. Hmm, interesting."
"What is Sonic?"
"To beat this one, each head will give a word or word phrase."
"Yeah, so what's so interesting about this one?"
"We should type the one that answers the question that will appear."
"Strange. Who do you think would come up with this stuff?"
"Don't know, but we'll figure it out later."

The first question appeared: What is a type of fish?
"Dog!" Ryan shouted typing that word, scoring a hit.
Second question: What has two legs?
"Children." Sonic shouted typing that word.
It went on like this for about another four or five questions until the heads finally collapsed.
Suddenly the middle head took off for an open region connected to where they are.
"We'll get you!" Sonic shouted.
"What do we do now?" Ryan asked.
"We need to type the phrase it gives us before it can attack us."
"'kay, let's toast him."
The snake-like zombie took a shot at them and hit.
"Damn! That frickin' hurt!" Ryan shouted.
They went into a wild typing frenzy, disregarding their safety, and turned that zombified snake into a pair
of snakeskin boots.
"Whew," Ryan started when he looked at Sonic and himself, "ha, I guess we got a little emotional there."
Brrrring!
"Sonic, that's your phone." Ryan said.
"This is Sonic. Huh? Sally?"
On the other side of the phone, "Sonic we need help, oh no Harry! AHHH!"
The line went dead.
"Sonic, what happened?"
"I don't know, Sally was talking and then the line just went dead."
-------------------------------
Chapter 4: Despair

"Everything is set. All we have to do is wait." said Eggman.

"What happened to Tails and Sally? We need to hurry." Sonic said.
They preceded to move throught the underground tunnels below the city.
They came across a person who was being held by a zombie in a cage.
"Help me!" he screamed.
Ryan typed the zombie away and the man came out and thanked them.
"I ran from the coliseum, thanks for saving me." he said.
Walking by another cage, they saw they were too late.
"No, we couldn't save them." Ryan said.
As they were nearing the coliesieum entrance, they heard screaming.
"Help me. Help me." someone screamed.
Ryan tried to save him, but the zombie dragged him down.

"Your not getting away from us." Sonic shouted.
When they reached the bottom, the man was dead.
"Too late...."Ryan commented.
They ran throught the winding passage ways.
Suddenly a man came running beind chased by a decaying zombie.
"Helllppp me!" he screamed.
They saved the man and ran up a set of stairs.
They were in the remains of what looked like the colisieum.
"Is this the colisieum?" Ryan asked.
They entered the colisieum ring and Eggman appeared on the screen.
"HAHAHA! People of the AMS, I am Eggman. I don't care if you people try to get in my way or not. In time you will
find out who is right. This is a present from me to you. Look to your right!" he said.
A large cage rose from the ground, its contents Tails, Sally, and a crazed chain-saw wielding zombie.
"TAILS! SALLY!" Sonic shouted.
"Farewell, friends. I await meeting you."
"?!" was Ryan and Sonic's expression as a maze rose from the coliseum floor.
"That's a STRENGTH 28. It will attack us in a wild frenzy. We need to type the long sentences before it attacks."

First chain of Sentences:
Playing this game is quite fun.
No joystick, trackball, or gun.
Typing with skill, many zombies you kill
But if not, you better just run!

Sencond chain of Sentences:
Why does everyone have a cell-phone?
It's like their on an electronic leash.
I don't carry a cell phone, but I
Make sure my wife always has hers!

Final chain of Sentnces:
If I were a 2000 year old gambler, and
I was at the David vs. Goliath fight,
I would have bet on Goliath.
I still think that fight was fixed.

With that final word, they brought down the monstrous zombie.
"Are you guys alright?" Ryan asked.
"I am," Sally said, "but Tails...."
"No!" Sonic shouted.
"Sonic, the car's parked at the city square....the top floor...at point A0063...he's there...Go...Sonic!"
"Thanks, Tails. Eggman, I'm going to let you get away with this!" Sonic said as he and Ryan headed for the car.
------------------------------
Chapter 5: Dawn

"Our emperor shall awaken soon. Hurry friends." Eggman said looking at a spherical cage containing a clear monster.

"Point A0063 should be up ahead." Sonic said.
They ran through the city square and thought they were safe since it was now day.
They soon found out how wrong they were.
Zombies began to pour out of everywhere.
"Man, I thought these guys couldn't come out in daylight." Sonic said.
"That's vampires, not zombies." Ryan said.
They finally got to the city squares central lot.
"That must be the car there." Sonic said, pointing at a beige convertible.
As they moved down the streets toward Eggman's office building, something crashed into their window and shattered it.
"What? You?! But how?" Sonic asked.
"Sir Egg has given me a second chance." Kraul said, "I won't fail him this time."
Ryan and Sonic went to it, knowing his defense and easily defeated Kraul and JUDGEMENT.
"There's no such thing as a second chance." Sonic said.
Getting back in their car, Ryan and Sonic continued down the street and got on the bridge.
Suddenly, something burst through the road in front of them.
"Not you, again." Ryan said, referring to the reincarnated HEIROPHANT.
"We know the drill, so you're going down." Sonic said.
Everytime HEIROPHANT's chest was open, they typed speedily.
Soon they blew him away, and he fell back down the hole he made.
"Too bad, but you're better off that way." Ryan said.
As they continued to drive down the road, a strange looking zombie jumped on their car.
"Huh?" Ryan said shooting it off, "That one looks more advanced than the other ones."
"Yeah, you're right. It looked cleaner and deadlier." Sonic said.
"That means we're getting close."
Picking up speed they closed in on the gate blocking the entrance to Eggman's headquarters.
"Hold on, I'm gonna ram the gate!" Sonic said, punching the accelerator.
They walked forward towards the entrance to the building.
"Prepare yourself Eggman." Sonic said.
"This is Eggman's headquarters?" Ryan asked, looking up at it.

Suddenly an explosion on one of the upper levels caught their attention.
"What the? It can't be, you're..." Sonic started.
"I have been waiting for you. You won't live for long. Either I get you or the emperor will. Your life in in our hands."
Opening the book, Sonic turned white in fear.
"Uh...Sonic? What's wrong?" Ryan asked.
"As you know, this is MAGICIAN 0. And...."
"And?"
"And if we don't type his words perfectly, we take a hit."
"Oh, Shit!"
"BINGO, exactly how I feel."
By now MAGICIAN had a sweatdrop on his forehead.
"Um, sometime today. We do still have a few chapters to be written."
"Right, let's rumble." Ryan said.
MAGICIAN circled around and around, like a vulture on a carcass.
Ryan managed a few perfectly typed words.
"Oh shit!" Sonic screamed, messing up a word.
MAGICIAN took that opporutunity to smash them with a power blast.
Both heroes were knocked down and definitely in dire stress.
"What to do, What to do?" MAGICIAN said, "Who gets to die first? How about you, Sonic? I still am angry after your uncle
and father killed me the last time."
Sonic could do all but watch as MAGICIAN closed in on him.
"No!" Ryan shouted to himself, he then thought of something. "Wait, if I'm merely a alternate version of another persona
of mine, I should still have..." he checked his right arm, "...my robotic arm. Yes! I need to hurry if I'm to save Sonic."
"So, hedgehog, how do you want to die? Fast! or Slow?"
"Neither!" Ryan shouted.
"What?" MAGICIAN said, "No, he can't be that strong."
Ryan had jurierigged his arm and connected it to his Typing Gun, using the power of his Super Emerald to super charge it.
"Take This!" Ryan shouted.
Ryan typed exactly that and let loose with a huge blast that connected directly with MAGICIAN.
MAGICIAN shook in pain, rose up, and, in a huge explosion, was disentegrated.
"Man alone can decide his fate. You're nothing!" Ryan shouted.
Turning his attention to his fallen ally, "Sonic, I won't let you die like this."
Ryan whipped out some spare life-ups and healed his friend.
"Ryan? Is that you?" Sonic asked.
"Yep."
"What happend to MAGICIAN?"
"Well, let's just say he had to blow."
"Okay, now let's go get Eggman."
-------------------------------
"Knock and the door shall open." Eggman said.

Chapter 6: Original Sin

Walking into the building, they noticed not much resistance.
"Hmm, I get the feeling that they're inviting us in." Ryan said.
"Yeah, creepy."
As they went to open the elevator, a sci-fi zombie popped out.
It had goggles for eyes and its hands were two laser blades.
"Toast him." Ryan said.
They decimated the sci zombie and got in the elevator.
They went to the top floor.
They made their way to the lab.
"What the heck?" Sonic said, referring to the tubes containing different zombies in them.
Rounding the corner, they ran into an old nemesis.
"Great not him." Ryan said, referring to the TOWER 8000.
They were asked the same question, by some chance of luck, and sent that cloned snake back to where it belonged.
They entered the final doorway, went up a pair of stairs, and entered Eggman's office.
"Eggman!" they shouted.
"Welcome friends."
"Eggman, do you have any idea what you are doing?" Sonic asked.
"I am fully aware of what I am doing. Man commited a crime. They destroyed the life cycle. I have created a new ruler for
mankind. Behold our new Emperor!" Eggman shouted.
The floor began to rise and the ceiling slid away.
The cage holding the emperor shattered and he floated there.
"I am..I am.. I am the one who rules over nature. I will hate...and destroy mankind." the EMPEROR said.
"Ryan, we've got a problem. It doesn't give his weakness."
"Hmm, guess we'll just have to play it by ear."

The EMPEROR sent the small balls circling him towards our heroes.
They typed and sent them back at him.
The EMPEROR sent a silver version of STRENGTH at them.
They typed the long sentence and sent him realing.
The EMPEROR obviously had enough of this and formed into his central core circled by his silver balls.
"Ryan, I've got something. He's gonna ask us a question and we type what we beleive to be the best answer."
"Okay, Sonic. Sounds like a plan."
First Question:
What would you give for your true love?
"For me, my time, my money, my life." Ryan said.
Second Question:
How do you know your wife is angry at you?
"When she keeps throwing stuff at you." Sonic said.
Final Question:
How do you win this game?
"By quick skills, speed, and a heck of a lotta luck." they both said.
EMPEROR was shoken up and said, "I am...I am..."
He then detonated in a huge explosion.

Eggman was just standing there, looking at them.
"Eggman, it's over." Sonic said.
"It is not over, in time another shall take my place." Eggman said, "Goodbye, friends."
With those final words, Eggman jumped off the edge of the building.
"It's finally over. I don't care if another comes, we'll stop him as well.
Secure in the fact that they had saved the world, Ryan and Sonic walked down the building, back
past the lab, through the halls, and down the elevator.
When the opened the doors, they were surprised to see everyone they had saved and Tails!
"Tails! You're okay." Sonic said.
"Yeah, I can't die that easily."
Ryan had walked away down an alley.
"Whew. That's three down, one to go. Last stop here I come." Ryan said as once again he was surrounded by that familiar white
light.
-----------------------------
Place: Mobius
Section: Badlands
Goingson: Not good

Eggman waited patiently for Captain Vise of G.U.N. to arrive.
"He better hurry, my patience is wearing thin." Eggman said.
Eggman spotted a small hover craft coming his way.
"Hmph, about time."
Captain Vise brought the hover craft to a stop and got out.
"Ah, Dr. Eggman. Sorry I'm late. We ran into a few friends of yours."
"Yes, they can be quite troublesome, but let's get down to business."
"I agree, we need your mechanical skills."
"But what will I get out of the deal?"
"Information on a certain human that has been giving you trouble."
"Him? How did you get this info?"
"During the ARK incident, we collected data based off of how well he acted against our droids. We then fed all the information
together in one report to get an accurate readout of his skills. I have a feeling you may be able to put something like this
to good use."
"You've got my attention. What exactly do you need?"
"Well, as you know, we have developed a new robot, codenamed: GUNDAM. We need your plants and skills to mass produce these.
That pesky hedgehog and his friends have their own and if we can't compensate we may end up losing."
"Which means they may turn them on my beloved Robotropolis."
"Exactly, so you help us make mass produced ones, and...."
"....and I'll get the battle data."
"We'll also throw in some data on that pesky hedgehog we collected."
Eggman thought over this for a few seconds and a evil grin appeared on his face.
"I take it that means we have a deal." Vise said.
"Indeed, it will be a pleasure helping you."
Both evil maniacs let lose with an evil laugh as they shake hands.
