Shadow snuck through the foliage surrounding Knothole Village while looking
for the captured hoverjets. They would have to be kept above ground if they
were ever going to be used again, so why couldn't he find them?
Another Knothole Villager walked by, this time as some sort of bird. If anything with good hearing or smell came by, Shadow was as good as caught.
He stuck to the shadows as much as he could, running from shade to shade as quickly as possible. Maybe the hoverjets were underground after all. That fact would definitely explain the lack of hoverjets he had currently found.
He finally found the back door to the underground side of Knothole village, which spanned almost twice the area of its above ground brother. Even with that said, it was still pretty small.
Shadow crept down the passage way, doing his best to be silent. All he needed now was a guarantee of no guards at the door when he finally got there. He didn't get his wish, but he heard something interesting.
"Have you heard the latest about Sonic?" said Guard 1.
"Nope. I'm all ears, though," answered Guard 2.
"Well, you know how all of our good fighters, Knuckles, Amy, Sally, excreta, as well as Tails have all gone to some sort of 'alternate world', right?"
"Yeah. So?"
"Well, I've heard that Dr. Robotnik has been using his old stuff again, like he's starting over, and more 'zombies' have been appearing on the old earth."
"I'll say it again. So?"
The first guard seemed frustrated. "Well, why haven't we heard anything from the people on the alternate world?"
"I have no idea," the second guard said flatly.
"Because they've become zombies! Even Sonic!"
"You're kidding!!"
"Wish I was, but that's what I heard," the first guard finished.
Shadow decided to have a little fun. He doubted anyone remembered him like this.
"Well, don't you want to see what a 'zombified' Sonic looks like?"
Both guards jumped and whirled around, holding out their weapons at the intruder.
"It's just me, Sonic, your old pal!" Shadow said eerily, leaning against the doorpost with his face in shadow. "I just happened to keep my smarts, that's all."
"Y-y-you are S-S-Sonic?" the second guard asked, shaking visibly.
"Of course, and now I'm here to clean up a bit."
"H-ho-how so?" the first guard shivered.
"By getting rid of Knothole Village, that's how!"
Both guards ran off screaming, yelling the alarm. Shadow, laughing to himself, ran down the hall find the hoverjets and make his next move.
