Sry its been a long time since I've updated this. Anyway, some blood and gore here.
Draith, Ryke, and Shyne were riding down the street, looking at all the crashed cars, the parked ones, a few zombies here and there, and people with different organs ripped out. Draith stared at a cat that was bleeding all over and had white eyes. Shyne flinched and looked at Draith in the back seat. "Where in the hell did this virus come from?" Draith shrugged.
"I don't think anybody knows." Ryke drove by a small store and suddenly stopped. Draith hit his head on the back of Ryke's seat. "OW! What in the hell are you thinking?" Ryke backed up a bit. He got out of the car. Draith rolled his window down. "NOW WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Ryke pointed to the store.
"This building looks like it hasn't been touched, besides that car in the wall." The car was a blue Ford, stuck between the window and the entrance, blocking the door and part of the window, and burning like hell due to the fact that it was on fire. Shyne frowned.
"Doesn't look like you're going in there, there's no door." Ryke put his hands in front of him and made the cannons extend past his wrist. He then shot two balls of hot lead into the part of the window that remained, making a way in. He withdrew the cannons back to his forearm and jumped in the window. Shyne followed, avoiding the fire as much as possible, and Draith stayed by the window to watch the entrance. Ryke and Shyne saw bodies all over this place, which was a restaurant. There was excess blood everywhere, and there was a zombie eating one of the bodies. Ryke shot it straight in the face and in the chest. Shyne walked over to a dead police officer and picked up his radio. There were a few bullets around him, but no gun. She checked his pockets just in case, and found nothing but a wallet. She opened it and read the card.
Officer Bryant Hammond
Angel City Police Department - A.C.P.D.
Highway Patrol
Officer ID: 2319
She put the wallet in her pocket after finding a twenty in the hammock and caught up with Ryke, who was behind the counter, which was stained with blood. She jumped over it with him. He stopped and looked around.
"Judging by the donuts, I think this would be a donut shop."
"Uh, yeah! Probably!" Draith yelled from the window in the most mocking way he could. Ryke shook his head and walked into the kitchen, Shyne following. There were rows of shelves, which contained donuts. There were a few bodies back here, most of them with their livers, intestines, and hearts ripped out. There was blood everywhere. Shyne gagged in her mouth as she went past the bodies. Ryke threw his arms out and drew his cannons quickly, scaring Shyne.
"What are you doing?" Shyne asked. Ryke looked around.
"I heard movement." They each looked around at the dead bodies and in every corner of the restaurant. They inched forward, scanning every inch as they went. Then suddenly, Shyne jumped. Ryke looked at the zombie clinging on to her leg and shot it. It quit moving. Shyne noticed that the shot went straight through the heart. Then the two heard a screech and a gunshot. They turned in the direction of the gunshot. "Draith, you ok?"
"Yeah." Shyne stood there.
"What was that screech?" They heard Draith's gun being reloaded.
"A cat. The same one we saw earlier. Apparently, cats can be infected, too." Shyne shook her head in disgust. Ryke grabbed her arm and tugged in the direction of the back door. She tagged along as Ryke led, the two looking over their surroundings for any possible survivors. Ryke walked up to the back door and jumped at the sound of gunfire. He flinched and turned to the entrance. "Draith! That you?"
"Yeah! I'm fine! One of them across the street, nothing big!" Ryke nodded and opened the back door, which led to an alley. He carefully stepped out and looked left, where three zombies caught sight of his head and came running towards them. The two retreated and shut the door. They turned and made way to the window, where Draith was waiting. "You two done?" Ryke nodded and withdrew his cannons and exited the building. Shyne followed, her weapon still in hand. They each got in the car, Ryke driving. He pulled away from the building with Draith shooting a zombie that had somehow found it's way to the restaurant. Draith pulled a few shots as they drove off, and he hit the car, which exploded in the building, knocking rubble into the street. He cocked his 4/5th. As they drove down the street, a few zombies were visible, but some just stood there. Ryke shook his hair and stared seriously down the road.
"This town… not exactly a good first impression, if I say so myself." Draith bowed his head.
"I'm sorry guys. I mean, the night you come you're immediately dragged into a war between living and nonliving." Ryke shook his head.
"Sorry? Hell, this is gonna be better than it will be boring! Nothing like this ever happens in Metropolis!" Shyne looked back at Draith.
"Yeah! Sitting at home is nothing compared to fighting dead people in a new city!" Draith reached into one of his strap pockets to check for ammunition. He looked out the window and smiled. He then shifted towards the door.
"Let me out." Ryke looked in the rear view.
"Let you out?" Ryke stopped, letting Draith out of the car. He took the large board off of his back and pushed a button, making it glow and buzz lightly. He hopped on and started riding down the street, then made his way back to the car. Ryke and Shyne looked on in confusion. Draith noted their confused looks.
"It's a hoverboard. Long story." Ryke nodded and took the CD out of the CD player and put it in his case. Draith turned to take off again, Ryke following.

They had been driving for a while, until Draith stopped at an old building. Ryke stopped the car and got out. "What's going on here?" Shyne got out and stretched. Draith opened the building door.
"There were survivors, and the basement of this place is where they are hiding." Draith walked in, Shyne following. Ryke glanced down the road at an oncoming zombie.
'If these things eat humans… they'll sure as hell follow me in here.' He drew his cannons and blew the zombies (now there were 2) to hell, then walked inside. There was a row of benches around the room, a few rooms to the left, a few windows here and there, a snack bar in the far right corner, and a few other random and normal things that existed. He looked around, confused.
"There isn't anywhere a basement could be!" As soon as he said this, he heard a whistle. He looked towards the snack bar.
"Come on, Ryke! Before those zombies see you!" Ryke rolled his eyes.
"Odd place for an underground hideout, but yay." He nodded and ran to the bar. As he did so, what looked like a dog ran past the window. Except, something was odd about it. He walked back to the window to see what the thing was, but saw nothing. He shrugged and followed Draith to the back of the kitchen, which was packed with boxes and shelves of various spices and other canned or packaged foods. Draith walked over to a small trapdoor in the right corner and opened it, going down. The siblings followed. The stairs were actually kinda long, but they still reached the bottom. Shyne and Ryke looked around. The room was large, unusually large for such a small building. There were people everywhere, maybe 50 people. Not very many, to say the least. The room was dimly lit by around 20 torches, and had two ceiling fans with the lights turned off. This confused Ryke. Shyne grabbed Draith's shirt before he could walk away.
"Why aren't there very many people here?" Draith pushed her hand off of him and sneezed.
"Because this is a very big city, and there are a large amount of people there. A lot are dead, and a few areas of the city have not yet been reached… we think. Others had just found somewhere else to hide." She looked at a few people carrying a dead person into another room.
"What happened to that guy?" she asked. Draith looked towards the guys just before they rounded the corner.
"Some of the people had been bitten when they were brought down here, so I guess when you get bitten you eventually become a zombie, if they don't eat all of you. When they become a zombie in this particular area, we put them down. Or at least try to." Shyne gagged, once again, in her mouth. Ryke was still staring at the fans.
"Any just why don't you turn the lights on?" Draith looked at the lights.
"Energy bill." Ryke looked at him with a mixed confused/amused look, then started laughing. Shyne rolled her eyes and started to walk around. Draith looked at the confused Ryke until he heard someone talking to him.
"Hey, Draith!" He turned to see Tails walking towards him. He smiled.
"Hey, Tails! Where's Sonic?" Tails pointed to the stairs.
"He still isn't back from looking for survivors. And Thystan, Frynic, and Kari went to search, also." Draith nodded and looked still at Tails.
"What have you found out about this 'thing' so far?" Tails started walking to the back of the room.
"Some things that are small, but might help. Here, come to the lab and I'll show you!" Draith followed him. Ryke stopped laughing, interested in their conversation, and walked up besides Draith. Draith looked forward.
"You going to take a glance, too?" Ryke shrugged.
"I don't know anybody here but you, Shyne, and this little fox so far, and I'd like to be of some note to what this outbreak was caused by." Draith gave a look of approval and agreement. Tails opened a door, revealing a decent sized room, with all kinds of technology, a few computers, and a dead body in a large chamber. Ryke scratched his head. "Just why do they keep this under an old building?" Tails looked at him.
"You must be Ryke." Ryke nodded and stuck his hand out.
"And you, Tails." Tails nodded.
"Yup." Tails walked over to a large control panel, talking all informational like he usually does. "All this stuff comes from my place at the Mystic Ruins. It's not safe there now, due to the given circumstances, so I took the time to run it all here. A very long trip actually." Ryke smiled.
"So you must be the Einstein here, huh?" Tails nodded.
"Damn straight." Draith walked up to Tails.
"Let's see what you got." Tails nodded and pushed a button. He walked over to the opening of the chamber, bobbing his head and singing.
"Gonna get in the car with a smile and the burn-"
"That I put on my arm the day you went away girl and I probably won't come back around again…" Tails looked to Ryke, surprised.
"You know that song?" Ryke smiled.
"Yeah. That band is the best I've heard." Tails smiled.
"That's awesome! No one around here likes them…. I'm the only." Ryke laughed and winked.
"Not no more." Tails nodded and motioned to Draith to come over. Ryke and Draith both came over and stood next to Tails, ready to hear the info.
Does anyone know the song thats there? If you do tell me. I hope I'm not the only fan of this band.
