Sheen: Sorry for making the last chapter short. Also, I do not own Sonic or any other related characters. SEGA does.

Sonic: Get off me, would ya?

Amy: (opens door) Get off my Sonic, you meanie! (Begins swinging hammer)

Sheen: Watch it! Aghhh!

Sonic: Calm down, Amy!

Sheen: Whew, well here's Chapter 2.

Amy: Here I come!

Sheen: Aghhh! Sonic, calm her down!

Sonic: Nah...

The Nightmare: Chapter 2:

Sonic Explores

"Sonic, you ready? The machine's on." Tails asked. "Actually, Tails do someone else. I'm going somewhere." Sonic replied. "Ok, if you're sure, then go." Tails said. "See ya." Sonic said as he ran out the door. "Tails, you sure Sonic will be alright?" Amy asked. "He should be. He isn't an idiot." Tails replied.

Sonic was traveling back to Station Square. On his way, he saw that things were changing fast. The green forest they ran through was now deceased. That ray was spreading fast. "Whoa, I hope the ray doesn't kill us." Sonic said. As he walked through the deceased forest, he saw the city. As he gazed at the half-broken city, a plant attacked him. "Whoa!" Sonic yelled as he jumped back. "The plants… they're alive?" Sonic thought as they started moving toward him. "Sonic Wind!" Sonic yelled as the plants were blown away. Suddenly, the city burst into flames. "What in the world..." Sonic thought as he rushed to the city.

Inside the city, he saw many deceased people and busted down areas. "I wonder what did this..." Sonic thought. Just then, one of the bodies started getting up. "What the!" Sonic yelled as he ran. When he got a good distance, he looked back at what looked like a zombie. Then, the monster fell down from a gunshot. "Huh... Shadow?" Sonic said. Shadow came out of the ally to see his rival. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Sonic the Hedgehog. What are you doing here?" Shadow asked. "I'm looking for what that ray did. And I think I just saw it." Sonic said. "Sonic, if you want to know what's really happening, then follow me." Shadow said. "Sure, Shadow." Sonic replied as they began walking into the ally.

At Tails' place, he was examining Knuckles. "So, anything wrong, doc.?" Knuckles asked. "Not sure. It seems that ray had no effect on you. That's really strange. If you weren't infected, how come everyone else was?" Tails said. "Who knows? Only Eggman would know what has happened. Maybe he made it so the ray wouldn't affect us." Knuckles said. "Maybe you're right, but I still need to test the others." Tails said. "Ok." Knuckles said as he walked off. "Call in Amy." Tails said. "Gotcha." Knuckles said, calling in Amy. Amy came in, asking, "My turn?" Tails replied, "Yeah, Amy. It didn't affect Knuckles, so I want to see if it only affected girls." "Ok, Tails. What do I have to do?" Amy asked. "Step into that tube and I'll examine you." Tails replied. "Ok." Amy said as she stepped in.

Meanwhile, in the seemingly endless ally, Sonic was following Shadow into an unfamiliar place. "Shadow, where are we?" Sonic asked. "Secret laboratory that Eggman used to build that ray. It contains information about the ray." Shadow replied. Sonic began walking around the deserted lab. "If want the info, follow me into the computer room." Shadow said. Sonic nodded and followed Shadow into a room with a giant computer on one wall. "Wait here and I'll get the computer booted up." Shadow said, as he walked off. As he came back, the computer was loading up the data. "Now, we will both see what that ray does." Shadow said. Sonic nodded and looked at the screen. When it loaded, a video came on-screen. It was Eggman saying, "This lab is being used to make an unstoppable weapon. After looking through my grandfather's research, I decided to see if the "G-Virus" as he calls it works. If it does, then the Sonic Gang will finally be terminated! However, there is one flaw. The ray will only affect human beings. But if one of those were to bite a Sonic Gang member, then he/she will become one with the G-Virus! Muahahahahahaha!" "Oh no..." Sonic thought to himself. "Don't worry yourself, hedgehog. What are the chances that we'll get bitten by one of those freaks?" Shadow said. "I know, but… what if we get into a situation where we do? Or what if they corner one of our weak links?" Sonic said. "Calm yourself, hedgehog. Now let's get back to Tails' place." Shadow said. "Ok, Shadow. I hope no one's out there." Sonic said, as they walked off. When they came out, all they could see were the infected people. "Damn, we'll have to fight our way out of here." Shadow said. "Ok, I'm ready!" Sonic yelled as they got into fighting stance.

At Tails' place, he had finished examining everyone. "Well, it seems no one was infected with anything. I guess that ray was just to scare us." Tails announced. "Whew…" Amy said, sighing in relief. "Wait a second, what about Mr. Sonic?" Cream asked. "SONIC!" Everyone yelled. They all jumped out of the house and didn't see Sonic anywhere. "Maybe he's in the city." Knuckles suggested. "Why would he go there? It's in flames." Tails said. "Whatever, I'm checking it out." Knuckles said as he ran off. "Knuckles! No, don't do it!" Rouge yelled, trying to catch the echidna's attention. "Don't worry, I'll go look after him." Tails said, running off in Knuckles' direction. "I hope they'll be alright." Amy said.

Sheen: Sonic! Calm her down! (Still running from Amy)

Sonic: I told you, no.

Sheen: Wait a second! (Stops himself and Amy)(Starts whispering in Amy's ear)

Sonic: What are you talking about?

Amy: You got a deal!

Sheen: Whew, thank goodness.

Sonic: What's the deal?

Amy: You'll find out in the story, Sonic.

Sheen: Yeah, I made her a deal she couldn't refuse.

Sonic: So, what is it?

Sheen: You'll find out near the end of the story.

Sonic: Oh no...
