Sonic Evil
~*~*~*~
Still in Day Two...WTH?!
~*~*~*~
Standing, or should I say marching, in front of the van was a parade of zombies. Thousands and thousands of zombies were marching. They even had a resident evil balloon! You know, the DNA strips look alike, the blue and green one. Everyone stared wide eyed at the parade.
"You call this a slight problem?" Sonic asked staring at the approaching parade.
Suddenly the "Twilight Zone" theme song started to play, Tails raised an eyebrow, "We have entered the twilight zone." Everyone nodded, too shock to say anything.
Shadow quickly shifted the van into reverse mode and started driving backwards from the zombies. They started running after the van and Shadow, with great skills, spun the van around and zoomed away from the zombies.
"Whoa, Shadow!" Sonic exclaimed as he returned to the front seat, "Where'd you learn how to drive like that?"
Shadow smirked as he shifted gears, "The Fast and the Furious."
Sonic raised an eyebrow, "Really?"
"Yeah, I even have a custom made car which I use to race and win money."
"Wow, really?" Sonic asked again.
Shadow sighed, "No, that was only a dream."
Sonic crossed his arms as he leaned back in his seat, "Oh."
"Uh, Shadow..." Rouge said, looking out the back window.
"What?" Shadow asked, not taking his eyes from the road.
Rouge nervously glanced behind them, "Maybe you should speed this thing up a bit...they're gaining, fast."
Shadow glanced at the rearview mirror, "What?" Some of the zombies were gaining quickly riding...jeeps?
Soon a zombie was right next to the van on each side. The one on the right side slammed his jeep into the van, knocking it slightly off course. Shadow growled, "Hey! This van cost me a lot!" The zombie ignored him and continued to ram his jeep into Shadow's nice family size mini van. Why does he have a family car anyways? Um, anyhow, Shadow was growing angrier by the second.
Rouge quickly made sure her seatbelt was on and tight, and then she checked to make sure the same with Knuckles, Amy, Tails, and Cream. "All of you got your seatbelt on and secure?" She asked them. They all nodded, "Good. This may get bumpy."
Sonic pouted, "Aren't you going to check mine?" He asked her.
Rouge looked at him, "Am I suppose to?"
Sonic sighed, "Fine, be that way."
Rouge smiled.
Shadow was getting frustrated as two more zombies in jeeps rammed behind his lovely van. Oh, by the way, it's black and red in color. ^_^ Shadow's doing. Yeah, black with a red strip down the middle. He slightly glanced at the others, "Hold on tight." He commanded; they were way ahead of him.
Shadow quickly shifted the gears of the van and the speed instantly increased, hey, being a fast hedgehog doesn't mean you can't have a fast car too! He glanced at his meter as it read 70 mph, he frowned, he needed more speed. He pressed his foot harder on the accelerator. His speed steadily grew as he once again shifted the gears to the next level. Now he was at 100 mph. He glanced out his window to see if the zombies were following, and sure enough, they were hot on his tail. Since when did they learned to drive, anyway? No matter, he was going to lose them. He quickly swirled the van around and was know facing the approaching jeeps. He growled as he pressed his foot harder on the accelerator and sped towards the four jeeps.
Everyone widen their eyes, "Shadow! What are you doing?!" Rouge yelled as Shadow continued to speed towards the jeeps.
Shadow remained quiet as they got closer and closer. He narrowed his eyes; they were now only a few yards away and were quickly closing the gap. He instantly locked eyes with the other zombie in the lead. As they got closer, right before impact, the zombies quickly swivel their vehicles out the way, scratching Shadow's left headlight. Shadow let out a cursed.
Amy opened her eyes and glared at the back of Shadow's head, "Shadow! Are you crazy?! You could've gotten us killed!"
Shadow growled in irritation, "But I didn't, okay?! Now be quiet!"
Amy huffed, "Oooh, why you! Fine!" She crossed her arms and leaned back in her seat.
Rouge rubbed her forehead, "All this is giving me a headache."
Suddenly a rumble was heard in the middle section of the car and all eyes turned to Tails. The fox blushed as he rubbed his stomach, "Sorry, but I'm really hungry."
Cream nodded, "Me too, and so is Cheese." She held up the chao and he rubbed his small tummy.
Sonic too agreed, "Me too." He sighed, "How are we going to find something to eat here?"
Shadow shrugged, "Maybe we could stop at a store or something. I'm sure everything's free here." He said as he pulled into a parking lot of a small grocery store.
Tails frowned, "Yeah, but zombies are out there."
"Okay, three of us will go and get something from the store; the rest of you will just have to sit tight." Sonic said as he was about to open the car door.
"Well, who's going?" Asked Rouge.
Sonic thought, "How about me, Shadow, and Knuckles?"
Knuckles quickly shook his head, "No way, remember what happened last time we left this van? Which was actually a few hours ago."
Sonic sighed, "Fine, somebody needs to stay and watch everyone else, so...um, how about you, little buddy?"
Tails looked from Sonic to the store, "Um, maybe I shouldn't Sonic." He said nervously.
The blue hedgehog sighed, he looked at Cream and decided not to ask her, so that left only one other option, "Well, I guess me and Shadow will just go then."
Amy pouted, "I can go with you, Sonic!"
Sonic looked at her nervously, "Um, Amy, why don't you stay in here?"
The pink hedgehog shook her head, already hopping from the van, "Nope. Y'all need me to help pick something for us to eat! If it was just you and Shadow, no saying what y'all might chose." She explained.
Rouge nodded, "She's right, you know."
Sighing, Sonic said, "Fine..."
Amy squealed, "Alright!" The three quickly got out of the van.
Shadow walked in front to look at his headlights and cursed some more, "Those stupid zombies..." He growled before going into the market with Sonic and Amy.
Rouge sighed as she placed her hands under her chin and leaned on the seat in front of her, looking at Tails and Cream, "So, what do we do now while we wait?"
Tails shrugged, "I don't know about you, but I'm playing my gameboy advance." With that said; he pulled out a GBA from cyberspace and started playing a random game. Cream also pulled out a GBA from...cyberspace, I guess, and started to also play a random game.
Rouge sighed and leaned back against her own seat, "Well, this is fun." She stated sarcastically. She turned to Knuckles, "You're awfully quiet, red boy, what's on your mind?"
Knuckles snapped himself from his thoughts, "What?"
Rouge rolled her eyes, "I said; you're awfully quiet, what's on your mind?" She repeated.
"Oh." Knuckles looked out the window, the one that wasn't broken, which was on Rouge's side, "I was just thinking about the Master Emerald. I hope Tikal and Chaos aren't having trouble with it."
Rouge raised an eyebrow, "Is the Master Emerald all you think of? Wow, you don't have much of a life, knucklehead." She smirked at him.
The red echidna sighed, "I know, but—" He stopped as his eyes widen, "Holy echidna! Rouge, look out!" He quickly grabbed Rouge to him as the window suddenly broke and an arm reached in.
Rouge, startled, let out a shout as Knuckles held her. She turned around to see a zombie reaching in. "What the?!" It quickly grabbed a hold of her leg and started to pull her. "Hey! Let go!" She kicked the zombie in the face and it let go of her leg. The zombie screamed and grabbed its face as blood, whatever color it is, ran down its face. Yeah, heels will do that to a person if they were kicked in the face. The zombie retreated and Rouge growled. They are such punks! She sighed then she soon realized that she was particularly sitting on Knuckles lap! She yelped and quickly jumped off and into her seat.
Knuckles blushed, "Uh..."
Tails and Cream giggled from their seats and continued to play their games.
Rouge also blush, "I guess I should thank you for saving me from that zombie." She said to him.
Knuckles, still blushing, managed a smile, "It's, uh, okay."
Rouge smiled and quickly gave him a peck on the cheek. Knuckles was now flaming. Tails and Cream gagged with a giggle but continued to play the games. Oh, what games are they so interested in? Well, the wabbit is playing Banjo Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge and fox-boy is playing Sonic Advance 3 (he went into the future! ^_^).
~*~*~*~
Ah, now we shall explore the market place! Sonic, Shadow, and Amy strolled around the store, keeping a watchful eye out for any zombies. Gosh, for a city supposedly filled with zombies, you hardly see any around! Amy suddenly squealed, startling Shadow and Sonic. "Amy! You okay?!" Sonic hastily rushed to her side.
"Ah! My favorite! 3-D Doritos!" She quickly grabbed a few bags and threw them in a small cart. Sonic and Shadow rolled them eyes.
Sonic eyes soon fell upon something he's heart so desired. He started to drool as he walked to it like some sort of zombie, not an official zombie, mind you. Just someone whose brain been washed. He stared hungrily at it, slowly reaching a hand to it, "Wow..." He whispered as he picked up a pack of Instant Chilidogs...don't ask.
Shadow raised an eyebrow, "Won't you need a conventional oven or something to cook that?" He asked as Sonic started piling the Instant Chilidogs into a basket he had for himself.
Sonic shrugged, "I can eat 'em raw!" He continued to pour more and more into the basket.
Amy made a disgusted face at that comment, "Ew! That's gross, Sonic!" She had two bags of 3-D Doritos, some rice-crispy treats (Hmmm! They are good!), chocolate chip cookies, cheese crackers, etc. Obviously, they were in the junk food aisles.
Shadow looked at them, "You do realize that you have to share with the others, right?"
Amy pouted, after placing more junk food into the basket, "Do we have to?"
The dark hedgehog rolled his eyes, "And too much junk food is bad for you." He then glared at Sonic, "Sonic! Will you stop it with the Instant Chilidogs?!"
A large pile of the package chilidogs towered in the small basket, looking like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Sonic turned to Shadow as if noticing him for the first time, "Huh?"
Shadow then raised an eyebrow, "Hmm...It's kinda weird that the frozen food and junk food are in the same aisle."
Amy glanced at Shadow's empty basket, "Aren't you going to stock up, Shadow?"
She growled, "I will, and unlike you two, I'll get something healthy." He walked away from the two and headed to the fruits. He carefully picked out some apples, checking for bruises or discoloration. After the apples, he moved to the oranges doing the same and so on with the grapes, peals, bananas, and such. He then decided to go get some drinks such as maybe some Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Orange Slice (AN: ah, the origin of my character Slice name!), Grape Juice, Orange Juice (the kind without the pulp, yuck!), and other goodie drinks. After Shadow had done his productive shopping, he waiting for Sonic and Amy. He didn't had to wait long as Sonic came trotting along with three baskets of...Instant Chilidogs, and Amy with her miles and miles of junk food.
Sonic grinned as he reached the crash registered, "I'll be paying by credit!" He chuckled as he headed out.
"Your total is...your life!" A voice suddenly said from behind the crash register.
Sonic, Amy, and Shadow eyes slightly widen as they slowly turned around to see a zombie! Well, you were you expecting? Bill Cosby? The trio slowly backed away before quickly running out of the store, not dropping any food items. The zombie hopped from behind the register and rushed after them, groaning.
Soon, the three were at the van and jumped in, slightly startling the other occupants. The three threw the stuff in the back seat where Cream and Tails were sitting and soon Amy joined the two. Shadow quickly started the car and pulled out of the lot as soon as Sonic closed his door.
"What's the rush?" Rouge asked, quickly replacing her seatbelt.
Amy shuddered, "A zombie was there! But we got what we needed!" She grinned at the piles of goodies that surrounded them.
Knuckles raised an eyebrow, "Instant Chilidogs? What the heck?" He examined the box before tossing it to the side, he picked up another pack, "Instant Chilidogs again? How much of this crap did you get, Sonic?" He tossed that pack to the side too.
Sonic grinned as he relaxed, "Um, lets see...I'd say about..." He started counting on his fingers, glancing at the boxes, "70 boxes." He grinned again, grabbing a box and opening it, "And the best part is that twelve comes in a pack!" He quickly stuffed a raw chilidog in his mouth and everyone stared at him, wide eye. He chewed then looked at them, "Wha'?" He asked, his mouth puffing with the food.
Shadow glared disgusted, but said nothing as he reached in the back seat, keeping one hand on the steering wheel, "Amy, hand me an apple." He asked, she handed him an apple and he ate it, gratefully.
Tails putted down his GBA and dug through the stuff, "Oh! You got rice- crispy treats! Awesome!" He took a box and ripped it open, unwrapping a treat, he plopped it in his mouth.
Knuckles sighed, "What else do you have?"
Rouge, hanging over the side of the seat to reach the stuff on the other side (of course she slightly undid her seatbelt), found some grapes, "Oh, look, grapes!" She held up some grapes and smirked, knowing that grapes are Knuckles favorite fruit.
Knuckles eyes widen as he stared at the beautiful, delicious, plump, full, purple (the sweet kind!), grapes. His mouth begins to water slightly as he reached for them, only to have Rouge pulled them away. She shook her head, waving a finger at him, "Ah-ah-ah." She taunted, taking a grape and plopping it into her mouth in a, uh, sexy manner. Please, Rouge, there are children present! But of course, the so call children that were present were into their own thing.
Knuckles gulped as he watched Rouge slowly, teasingly, ate the one grape. She smirked at him, "What some?" Knuckles only nodded, mouth still a gap. She held the grapes out to him and as soon as he reached for them, she quickly pulled away, "Gotta be faster then that, treasure hunter." She took another grape in her mouth.
Knuckles, by now, was growing frustrated as he quickly grabbed a hold of the grapes. Now, the two were wrestling for the grapes in the back seat, tossing and turning each other over.
Sonic, noticing the racket in the back, slightly turned around then stared wide eye, "Whoa, Shadow, are they doing what I think they are doing in your back seat?"
Shadow growled and turned around to find Knuckles on top of Rouge in his back seat. His jaw dropped. Wow, I've never seen Shadie so shock! "What are you two doing?!" He asked, the van swiveling a bit.
Knuckles and Rouge froze, with the grapes between them; they stared at each other, than to Sonic and Shadow, than to each other again, and at their position. They blushed the deepest shade of red ever known to man and Knuckles quickly got up from his position on Rouge, he nervously turned to the two male hedgehogs, "It's, uh, not what you think!"
Rouge frantically nodded, silently backing Knuckles up. She nervously grinned, avoiding all eye contact.
Sonic smirked, "Sure it isn't. I suppose you two were just 'wrestling' back there for the grapes, huh?"
Both Rouge and Knuckles nodded, "That's exactly true!" Rouge said, crossing her arms.
Sonic laughed, "Yeah, am I'm Eggman in disguise." He turned back around in his seat and so did Shadow, until he realized something, he turned back around and glared, "What happen to my window?!" He yelled at the two in the back.
Rouge glanced at the window, "Oh, a zombie broke in. That's all."
Shadow sighed, if they don't get out of here soon, no telling what will happen to his precious car, his baby...his Maria....yes, he has lost all sanity and named his van after his long since dead Professor's granddaughter. He has lost the human Maria, but he vow to never, ever, let anything happen to his vehicle Maria. As soon as that thought crossed his mind, a loud bang was heard, sending the van spinning around.
Amy and Cream let out a startle scream as it came to a stop, "What was that?!" Amy asked a little scared.
Shadow growled, welling himself not to cry. Bad hedgehogs don't cry...He sighed as he stepped out of the van, fearing the worst. He checked his van over and what he suspected was true...a flat tire. "UGH!!" Shadow shouted, ready to pull out his spikes, "Why must this happen to me?!" He fell to his knees, on the verge of breaking down. After a minute, while everyone watched him curiously, he calmed down. He then took notice in something poking from the flat tire. Curiosity got the best of him and he went to investigate, pulling out a...arm? "What the?" He asked in confusion. Suddenly the arm begins to move and Shadow quickly threw it away. It landed a few feet from him. Shadow, expecting something to happen, looked at it. Something did as the arm stood on its finger tips and soon went rushing towards Shadow. The hedgehog quickly glanced around for something to stop the arm and his eyes fell open a manhole cover. Forming a plan, he hurriedly lifted the cover and as soon as the arm was close to him, he grabbed it and threw it down the hole, sealing it soon after. Shadow growled as he got back into his van.
Everyone was quiet, not daring to say a word. After ten minutes of silence, Sonic couldn't take it anymore and yawned while stretching, "So, what now?"
Shadow glared at Sonic, "What do you think, Sonic?! The sun is beginning to set, we are in a city with zombies, and to top it all off with, my precious van is ruin! This is the worst week of my life!" Shadow started banging his head on his steering wheel.
Everyone watched in shock as Shadow slowly lost control, Tails yawned, "Maybe we should get some sleep...Today has been a...weird...day, needless to say." He got comfortable in his seat, his hands serving as a pillow for his head.
Knuckles yawned, "Yeah, Sonic, maybe you should stand guard tonight?" He asked as he kicked his feet up on the seat, turning sideways, barely touching Rouge.
Rouge narrowed her eyes as she pushed his feet away, almost making him fall to the floor. He sighed as he turned his back to Rouge, she doing the same; the two soon fell into a not so peaceful slumber.
Sonic growled as he was stuck with guard duty, "Fine, night everyone." He crossed his arms and slouched down in his sea as everyone fell into a deep sleep. The only sound that was heard was the night creatures, whatever they were, and the constant snoring and murmurings of the other members. Sonic yawned again, welling himself to stay awake until it was time to wake up the next shift. 'Ha, those zombies must sleep at night too; I haven't seen one at all doing the night.' He thought to himself.

Shadow was getting frustrated as two more zombies in jeeps rammed behind his lovely van. Oh, by the way, it's black and red in color. ^_^ Shadow's doing. Yeah, black with a red strip down the middle. He slightly glanced at the others, "Hold on tight." He commanded; they were way ahead of him.

Rouge rubbed her forehead, "All this is giving me a headache."
Suddenly a rumble was heard in the middle section of the car and all eyes turned to Tails. The fox blushed as he rubbed his stomach, "Sorry, but I'm really hungry."

Shadow glared disgusted, but said nothing as he reached in the back seat, keeping one hand on the steering wheel, "Amy, hand me an apple." He asked, she handed him an apple and he ate it, gratefully.
Tails putted down his GBA and dug through the stuff, "Oh! You got rice- crispy treats! Awesome!" He took a box and ripped it open, unwrapping a treat, he plopped it in his mouth.
Knuckles sighed, "What else do you have?"
Rouge, hanging over the side of the seat to reach the stuff on the other side (of course she slightly undid her seatbelt), found some grapes, "Oh, look, grapes!" She held up some grapes and smirked, knowing that grapes are Knuckles favorite fruit.
Knuckles eyes widen as he stared at the beautiful, delicious, plump, full, purple (the sweet kind!), grapes. His mouth begins to water slightly as he reached for them, only to have Rouge pulled them away. She shook her head, waving a finger at him, "Ah-ah-ah." She taunted, taking a grape and plopping it into her mouth in a, uh, sexy manner. Please, Rouge, there are children present! But of course, the so call children that were present were into their own thing.
Knuckles gulped as he watched Rouge slowly, teasingly, ate the one grape. She smirked at him, "What some?" Knuckles only nodded, mouth still a gap. She held the grapes out to him and as soon as he reached for them, she quickly pulled away, "Gotta be faster then that, treasure hunter." She took another grape in her mouth.
Knuckles, by now, was growing frustrated as he quickly grabbed a hold of the grapes. Now, the two were wrestling for the grapes in the back seat, tossing and turning each other over.
Sonic, noticing the racket in the back, slightly turned around then stared wide eye, "Whoa, Shadow, are they doing what I think they are doing in your back seat?"
Shadow growled and turned around to find Knuckles on top of Rouge in his back seat. His jaw dropped. Wow, I've never seen Shadie so shock! "What are you two doing?!" He asked, the van swiveling a bit.
Knuckles and Rouge froze, with the grapes between them; they stared at each other, than to Sonic and Shadow, than to each other again, and at their position. They blushed the deepest shade of red ever known to man and Knuckles quickly got up from his position on Rouge, he nervously turned to the two male hedgehogs, "It's, uh, not what you think!"
Rouge frantically nodded, silently backing Knuckles up. She nervously grinned, avoiding all eye contact.
Sonic smirked, "Sure it isn't. I suppose you two were just 'wrestling' back there for the grapes, huh?"
Both Rouge and Knuckles nodded, "That's exactly true!" Rouge said, crossing her arms.
Sonic laughed, "Yeah, am I'm Eggman in disguise." He turned back around in his seat and so did Shadow, until he realized something, he turned back around and glared, "What happen to my window?!" He yelled at the two in the back.
Rouge glanced at the window, "Oh, a zombie broke in. That's all."
Shadow sighed, if they don't get out of here soon, no telling what will happen to his precious car, his baby...his Maria....yes, he has lost all sanity and named his van after his long since dead Professor's granddaughter. He has lost the human Maria, but he vow to never, ever, let anything happen to his vehicle Maria. As soon as that thought crossed his mind, a loud bang was heard, sending the van spinning around.
Amy and Cream let out a startle scream as it came to a stop, "What was that?!" Amy asked a little scared.
Shadow growled, welling himself not to cry. Bad hedgehogs don't cry...He sighed as he stepped out of the van, fearing the worst. He checked his van over and what he suspected was true...a flat tire. "UGH!!" Shadow shouted, ready to pull out his spikes, "Why must this happen to me?!" He fell to his knees, on the verge of breaking down. After a minute, while everyone watched him curiously, he calmed down. He then took notice in something poking from the flat tire. Curiosity got the best of him and he went to investigate, pulling out a...arm? "What the?" He asked in confusion. Suddenly the arm begins to move and Shadow quickly threw it away. It landed a few feet from him. Shadow, expecting something to happen, looked at it. Something did as the arm stood on its finger tips and soon went rushing towards Shadow. The hedgehog quickly glanced around for something to stop the arm and his eyes fell open a manhole cover. Forming a plan, he hurriedly lifted the cover and as soon as the arm was close to him, he grabbed it and threw it down the hole, sealing it soon after. Shadow growled as he got back into his van.
Everyone was quiet, not daring to say a word. After ten minutes of silence, Sonic couldn't take it anymore and yawned while stretching, "So, what now?"
Shadow glared at Sonic, "What do you think, Sonic?! The sun is beginning to set, we are in a city with zombies, and to top it all off with, my precious van is ruin! This is the worst week of my life!" Shadow started banging his head on his steering wheel.
Everyone watched in shock as Shadow slowly lost control, Tails yawned, "Maybe we should get some sleep...Today has been a...weird...day, needless to say." He got comfortable in his seat, his hands serving as a pillow for his head.
Knuckles yawned, "Yeah, Sonic, maybe you should stand guard tonight?" He asked as he kicked his feet up on the seat, turning sideways, barely touching Rouge.
Rouge narrowed her eyes as she pushed his feet away, almost making him fall to the floor. He sighed as he turned his back to Rouge, she doing the same; the two soon fell into a not so peaceful slumber.
Sonic growled as he was stuck with guard duty, "Fine, night everyone." He crossed his arms and slouched down in his sea as everyone fell into a deep sleep. The only sound that was heard was the night creatures, whatever they were, and the constant snoring and murmurings of the other members. Sonic yawned again, welling himself to stay awake until it was time to wake up the next shift. 'Ha, those zombies must sleep at night too; I haven't seen one at all doing the night.' He thought to himself.
