Shadow and Espio
By Streak The Chameleon
Chapter 13: The Final Hazards
I do not own any of the Sonic characters. Sega does.
Sorry about the lack of updates! I've just been doing…stuff. Anyway, enjoy the chapter!
Streak ran to the third floor.
"I have to do this quickly and quietly," he said to himself.
It wasn't that hard. Plant the bomb, activate the timer, get out without getting killed, and avoid Sonic and Amy. (If possible) No sweat.
He ran through some hallways and entered a few doors.
"Just got to find the right room…"
He finally found the door labeled EXPERIMENT ROOM.
"This looks good…"
It was a fairly large room, with test tubes, various equipment, and huge cylinders filled with liquids.
They were labeled. PROJECT SHADOW. PROJECT ASSASSIN. There was one simply labeled, BLOOD PROJECT.
Streak went over to the BLOOD PROJECT cylinder. Unlike the others this cylinder was filled with what looked like toxic gas.
"What is this…?"
A few papers were on a desk. Streak picked them up.
They read:
BLOOD PROJECT
Day 1, Nov. 16, 2006:
Recently GUN has been interested in myths and legends concerning vampires. For now I do not know why, but we are experimenting on a gas that changes the DNA of subjects. We have begun testing with animals and have found good results.
The next page read:
BLOOD PROJECT
Day 10, Nov. 26, 2006:
We have concluded that the experiment is a success. Strangely enough, however, GUN has not said why they need this project. It also seems that GUN wants to move on to another project. I can only assume that GUN wants to combine the results of the new project, called Project Assassin, with the results of the Blood Project.
Streak put the papers down. He couldn't believe it. Vampires? There was not one thing that he hated, or feared, more.
"Better destroy it, then…"
He carefully placed the bomb on the cylinder.

Shadow had too, placed his bomb.
He called Espio via the earpiece that Streak had given him before.
"Espio, did you place it?"
There was some static, and Espio's voice came through.
"Almost...got it."
"Good. Let's get out of here."
"Did you see what Streak is doing?"
"No. I think he turned his off."
"Figures."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Got it." Streak had set the bomb on the cylinder. Time to go.
As he walked outside, he looked back.
"I wonder what exactly that gas does…" he thought.
"I've been wondering the same thing."
Streak jumped. He spun around and looked.
There, standing at the end of the hallway, was Amy.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Shadow walked casually to the main floor of GUN.
"Almost there…"
He walked past a darkened section of the hallway. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"You won't be going anywhere for a very long time."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Espio had just turned the corner when a dagger flew by him.
"Whoa!" He ducked right under it.
Suddenly a flurry of bullets sailed down the hallway. Espio dived out of the way and took cover behind a wall.
Cream's voice echoed down the hallway.
"Come out, come out, wherever you are…"
