CHAPTER 2-2

Shadow and Amy saw a door ahead of them and went through it. Once they went through it, they found out they were outside of the church. They also saw a pack of ganados just standing there ahead of them with torches in their hands.

"Shit", Shadow said.

Amy started to look around until she spotted a wagon with barrels on them. She figured they were full of gasoline. She looked over to Shadow again, "Shadow, shoot the barrels on that wagon."

He pointed his handgun at the barrels, "You'd better be right about this." He pulled the trigger and shot at the barrels making them blow up and the wagon they were in rolled down the hill to where the villagers were. After they all died, Shadow turned to Amy. "How did you know gasoline was in there?"

She shrugged, "It was a guess."

Shadow and Amy started to run down the hill, "I guess you're good for something after all."

"Uh thanks...I guess."

They made it to the ladder that Shadow had to climb to get to the church, "After you, Amy."

She nodded and climbed down the ladder. Shadow climbed down afterwards.

They came to a door and Shadow just kicked it open startling the merchant that was in the room.

The crocodile held his hand at his chest, "You scared me, stranger."

"Uh sorry."

Amy placed her hands on her hips, "There was a doorknob you know."

"Well I didn't feel like using it."

The merchant interrupted their conversation, "Want to buy something, stranger?"

Amy looked at the crocodile and had a bad feeling about him, "Shadow, who's that?"

"He's nothing but a merchant. He sells weapons." He took the money he found out of his pocket, "Which reminds me." He handed the money to the merchant, "What can I buy with that?"

The merchant looked around in his blue cloak, took out a gun, and handed it to Shadow, "This is a TMP. It's just a machine pistol. Not much to say about it, but you will like the fast shooting speed that's for sure."

Shadow looked at the gun and smiled, "Yeah this will work."

The merchant gave him bullets, "Happy shooting, stranger."

Shadow and Amy started to walk the rest of the way through the passage until they came to another ladder. They went up the ladder and were in a small room that had nothing much in it. They went into the next room and still nothing was very useful. They went through the black door and was outside in the village again. They heard voices shouting somewhere near them.

Amy gasped, "Oh no not more of them."

Shadow took her wrist and led her towards another door beside a tower but when they got over there, they saw villagers along with a lot of bear traps in front of them.

Amy started to look around hoping that she wouldn't step into one, "Shadow."

He took out his handgun, "I'm on it." He began to shoot the villagers ahead of them.

Amy just watched as he did it until she was all of a sudden grabbed from behind. She screamed as a man picked her up and threw her on his back walking away with her. "Shadow, help me!" She cried.

Shadow quickly took his attention away from the remaining villagers in front of him and shot the man that was taking Amy in his leg.

Amy fell to the wet ground still a little frightened.

Shadow helped her off the ground, "Are you okay?"

She nodded, "Yeah, thanks." She looked behind Shadow and saw more villagers with torches, "Shadow, behind you!"

He spun around and started to shoot at them as well.

The villagers fell and melted into the ground.

Shadow and Amy continued to head towards the door while looking down at the ground trying not to step into any bear traps. They finally made it to the door and went through it. They were now in the barnyard, but the ganados were there too. Shadow looked around quickly before any ganados came up to them. "Looks like there's a huge door over there but we can't get through it that way. Something's in the way. Looks like we have to take another route. Follow me." Shadow jumped over a fence and walked in a shed seeing more villagers in it along with bear traps all over the floor. He looked over to Amy, "Get behind me."

She got behind him and watched as he shot the villagers.

After when he shot the villages, he turned to Amy, "Watch out for those traps and get up that ladder." He pointed to a ladder ahead of them. He went up the ladder and Amy slowly followed. Once they got up there they saw a window they could climb out of. So they jumped through the window and was on top of the shed also seeing two more ganados in front of them. A woman came with a butcher knife in her hand and tried to stab it into Shadow, but she missed. He shot the woman. He saw a man coming towards him with an axe in his hand. He quickly tried to reload the gun in time but he couldn't.

The man took his axe and stabbed it into Shadow's arm.

He yelled and kneeled to the ground holding his bleeding arm.

Amy screamed, "Shadow!"

Shadow pointed the gun at the man and shot him in his chest.

The man fell off the shed and landed on the ground melting into it.

Shadow slowly got off the ground while still holding his arm, "Damn."

"Shadow, are you okay?"

He nodded a bit, "Yeah lets go."

Amy was worried for him, but then again there was something about him and she knew that he would make it.

They both came to a ladder and climbed down it.

Another man was standing there with a torch in his hand and bear traps were surrounding the area.

Shadow shot him and then a plagas came from his head and his axe like weapon was swinging around.

Amy gasped, "What is that thing?"

Shadow shot at the plagas over four times until its insides scattered all over the ground. He turned to Amy, "That was a plagas. Don't be surprised if we see more along the way." He began to walk around the bear traps and walk towards the door. The door was locked from the inside. "Locked." He then thought of something. He looked over to Amy slowly approaching him. "Amy, I need you to go over to the other side and unlock this door." He kneeled to the ground, "Get on my back."

She stood on his back and started to climb over the door. She had went over to the other side and unlocked the door, "It's unlocked now", she said from the other side.

Shadow went through the door and saw a merchant standing near a bridge.

The merchant greeted them, "Hello, stranger. Need to buy something?"

He shook his head, "Not yet." He started to walk across the bridge with Amy following him until his communicator beeped. He took it out of his pocket and saw Cream with a serious look.

"Shadow, I have some bad news."

"I'd rather not hear it right now."

"I'm afraid I have to tell you anyway. We lost contact with the chopper. Someone must have shot it down. We'll send you a new one right away."

He sighed, "Okay", he shut off the communicator and placed it back in his pocket, "Great. This is so fucking perfect."

Amy noticed Shadow acting stressed, "Shadow..."

They then heard voices from behind them. They both turned around and saw a swarm of villagers coming after them with torches in their hands.

Amy stepped back, "What are we going to do, Shadow?"

"Shit", he looked ahead of them and saw a cabin, "Quick in that cabin." They both ran into the cabin and quickly shut the door behind them locking it.

"Hey, cop!" A voice shouted.

Shadow looked behind him and saw a metal pipe coming at him but he caught it.

A blue hedgehog approaching them with a sly smile, "Small world huh?"

Shadow placed the metal pipe crossed wise at the door and faced the blue hedgehog, "I was wondering if I was ever going to see you again."

He crossed his arms, "I'm not leaving until I get what I came for."

"Shadow, who is that?" Amy asked.

"Sonic. He's a friend", Shadow answered.

Sonic turned to Amy and looked at her breasts, "I see that the president has equipped his daughter with ballistics."

She glared at the blue hedgehog, "How rude!"

Shadow looked through the cracks of the wooden boards that were on the window, "Uh guys, the villagers." He turned to Amy, "Amy, hide."

She nodded and went upstairs.

Sonic took out a weird looking handgun, "All right! Get ready to die fuckers!"

The villagers started to pound their fists on the boards until they finally broke in.

Sonic faced them and shot them in their heads making their heads explode.

Soon the villagers came through all the windows in the cabin and started to surround Shadow and Sonic.

They both shot them with ease. The villagers never touched them.

Shadow then ran out of handgun bullets, "Damn, I'm out."

Sonic handed Shadow some bullets, "Take these."

Shadow smiled, took them, and placed them in his gun. He shot a villager that was beside him.

Soon the villagers came less and less until they finally retreated and left them.

Shadow looked though the window and saw them walking away, "Looks like they're backing off."

Amy quietly came downstairs with Shadow and Sonic not noticing.

Shadow turned to Sonic, "Sonic, I have a few questions I need you to answer."

"Okay."

"We met up with this Lord Silver. Do you know what he's planning?"

He sighed, "He's planning to control the world with his mind controlling parasites."

"Parasites?"

"Yeah, he placed them in the villagers. Now...they're nothing but slaves to Silver. If you remember anything weird, then he might've placed the parasites in you as well."

His eyes widened, "No. What about Amy?"

"She's his plan. Of course he implanted the parasite in her."

"Well how do we get rid of them?"

"...I'm working on it. Which reminds me I have to take care of some things", he opened the door and left.

"Sonic", Shadow walked towards the doorway and watched him walk away.
