Shadow and Espio
By Streak The Chameleon
Chapter 16: GUN in Flames
I do not own any of the Sonic characters. Sega does.
Kialya, thanks for the review, and Pyro, yes, I do read Naruto. And after a quick look at your profile, you like Naruto too! So I guess we're on the same page, right? Enjoy the chapter!
Streak walked up the stairs to the third floor. Again.
He walked straight to the experiment room, not even looking for Espio.
He already knew Espio wasn't here, he was on the first.
He just came to check something out…
He walked to the steel-walled room that held the huge cylinder that was the Blood Project.
"C'mon, it gotta be here…" He said as he walked around it.
"Aha!"
It was right at the bottom. A small slip of paper.
It read: DOES NOT WORK ON HUMANS.
"That's what I wanted," Streak said. "Just needed to make sure…"
He walked out of the room and down the stairs.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Shadow pointed to Espio's earpiece. "I kept getting static when I tried to call you. Is that thing working properly?"
Espio touched it. "I think when I was fighting Cream, I broke it."
Streak walked down the stairs. "Ready to blow this place up?"
"Always ready."
"Okay then."
They walked outside.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Ughhhh…"
Sonic had regained conciseness in a locker.
He shook his head. What had happened again? Oh yeah. Shadow flying at him, and then…darkness.
Sonic rammed his body against the cold surface of the locker. It flung open immediately, and Sonic fell onto the floor.
He then quickly stood up and tried to remember where he was. GUN. Second floor.
He had sent Amy to the third floor, and she hadn't called him back, so that means…
Sonic ran up the stairs to the third floor.
He ran down the nearest hallway. "Amy! Amy!"
"Right here."
Sonic saw Amy lying against the floor trying to wriggle out of some ropes.
Sonic ran up and untied her.
"Are you okay?"
"Just dizzy."
Sonic lifted her up.
"We need to get out of here."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Streak was walking ahead, trying to get far enough from GUN.
Apparently Shadow and Espio had "forgotten something" and went back inside.
In truth, they were hiding in the trees above Streak.
"So why are we doing this again?" Espio whispered.
"I need to see what he's going to do. I've been suspicious of him from the start, and I just need to see.
Streak's voice rang through his earpiece.
"Are you out?"
"Yes." Shadow replied back.
"Are you far away?"
"Yes." Shadow said again.
"Okay. Hitting the button."
Streak pressed down on the demolition button.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sonic and Amy had managed to just make far enough in the opposite direction to avoid the blast.
"Ahh!" Sonic and Amy shielded their eyes.
A large explosion could be seen over the hill, and fire and smoke were everywhere.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Streak immediately ran from his position on the grass and ran forward toward the fire.
"There he goes!" Shadow and Espio leaped from the tree and quickly followed the running Streak.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Streak ran straight toward the fire, and when he was close enough, leaped.
He flipped over the fire and landed straight in the center.
He saw a patch of steel in the center.
The project had lowered itself into the ground!
Streak smashed his fist into the ground.
Wait. If Sonic and Amy were dead, then nobody would release it.
Streak sighed in relief.
He turned and walked out of the bonfire.
