Targets: Endigo, Shine, Shadow

Dynamite Academy Ruins

Lock's head popped up from the rubble, pulling Venus along with him. He was followed by Funk and Cream. They had survived the blast by sheer luck alone. The echidna shouted, "What the hell was wrong with that duck!?"

"He just didn't want to be taken out by scum like you." Lock spat.

"Why you dirty-" he was cut of as he was hit hard in the back. As Funk fell, Ark became visible.

An evil smile twisted onto his face. "Survivors. It will be fun killing all of you. But first, let me get some help." the wolf pulled his head back and swung it around, letting out a blast of blue smoke, which seeped into the ground. Within a few seconds, the ground below began to tremble, until people began to burst up. Funk, who had struggled to his feet, saw the bodies of Kwon and Mag.

"What the hell is this?" Cream asked, a shake in her voice. The four warriors, Cream, Lock, Venus, and Funk, had grouped close together, realizing that they were all targets. "I killed half of these people."

"I'm sure you did." the answer came from every single person, but centered around the wolf. "You have no clue what I can do. I am Ark, Gerald Robotnik's greatest creation. I am indestructible."

A blast suddenly hit the wolf host in the back of the head. He turned to see Shadow the Hedgehog, along with Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails. "Leave them alone, Ark. I'm who you want."

The wolf laughed. "And you call yourself a Project of Gerald. But fine. I'll give you twenty four to get your strength together." all of the infected began to disappeared. "See you then."

Sorry that haven't updated in a while, and sorry for such a short chapter. I've been busy working on Battle Netwarriors. I plan to update more frequently from now on.
