Chapter Five: Mojave Desert (Approaching to Night)
Sonika went ahead to find the scream. Static saw her far away then follows her, trying not to lose her. She saw a tunnel way then heard the scream again. "The scream must be there…" She said then went in. Then when he was near the tunnel way, he heard a faint scream. He went in to find her and the scream.
He saw a lot of tunnels when he went in. He looked around. "Damn! Where could she be?" He asked to himself. He suddenly heard the scream again. He faces the northeast tunnel then went in. He suddenly saw the NMC's that had close resemblance to bats. He got out M4A1 Javelin then starts shooting them. "Well that was easy…" He said as he lowered his gun, "I'd better find Sonika." He starts running. He suddenly heard the scream getting louder by the second. "I must be near." He declared. Then something stopped him from running. "What's going on?" He said, "Why can't I move?!" When he looked down, he something. "Who are you?" He asked. Then he saw an NMC-like chameleon. "Get off!" He shouted. He starts shooting it rapidly. Then it died. "One thing bugs me that if any of those NMC's trying to touch me, they're going to hell…" He said. He starts walking. By the time he reached the end, he saw her, waiting. She starts to run then hugged her. "Static," She said, "I'm a bit worried about you." "Well I'm worried about you Sonika." He giggled, "Next time, don't run off like that." "I promise…" She said. They heard the scream again. They looked at each other then nodded. He slowly went near the gate then opened it. They went in then he closed it. They saw the ladder then went near. She climbed up then he followed.
She approached the door then opened. "Static, we're inside the store." She said. "That's great." He smiled. When they went in they saw the NMC's. They were small, like babies. She got out MP5A5 then shoots one. When it was shot, it gave out a short explode. "Static, make sure you're far away from it when you're shooting." She warned. "Alright." He said. As soon as those baby-like NMC's died, they went to the door next to the counter then opened. They were outside. Then they saw the puma sleeping. She switched to Gunblade then sliced it in half with a critical blow. Then it died. "Do you always have to do that?" He asked nervously. "I just can help it." She answered nervously. She opened the door then went in. Inside, they heard the scream. He went near the dresser. He looked down then saw scratch marks. "Those marks look so familiar…" He said. He turned to the dresser. "Sonika, bad news." He said. "What's wrong?" She asked. "The dresser's bolted tight." He answered, "We need to borrow tools from Derick." The stepped out of the empty house then went to the general store. He opened the entrance then they were at the entrance again. "I'm getting bored already." He declared, "I'm gonna run to Derick's office." He picked her up then starts running.
Outside of the office, the four were bored. Then they saw the two. "Hey guys." Inferno greeted, "Kaz and Parasite are awake. I've told them what you said Sonika. Then they're watching TV." "Thanks Inferno." She said. "No problem." He replied. "So what're you two doing here?" Stalin asked. "We need to borrow one of Derick's tools." Static answered. "Permission is granted." He answered. "Wha…" He remarked. "Hey, it's mine and Inferno's also. It's alright." He replied. When he turned around, he saw Sonika gone. "Now where the hell is she?" He asked. "Inside the garage." Miyu answered. He left at the blink of an eye. Inside, she was looking for the right tool. "Sonika, do you always run off like that?" He asked. She turned around then saw Static. "I often run off when I saw or need to do something." She answered. They started looking. "This monkey wrench looks like a perfect tool." He said, "Let's go!" He picked her up again then left.
Outside of the empty house, they arrived then he placed her down. They went in. He went near the dresser then unscrew the bolts using the monkey wrench. He pushed the dresser to the right. He went through then she followed. They pass through the door. They looked around. Then they suddenly saw someone approaching. It was a woman. They just looked at her. Blood suddenly come out from her back then she starts bleeding. Then she died. They heard a loud thud then looked up. "Who's there?" Said the man. "It's you from the tower." She remarked. "Still chasing me are you little girl?" He asked. "Why did you kill her?" She asked. "Don't you mean, that THING?" He laughed, "I'm just like you little girl. You're just G.U.N's special agent and works for MIST to find out more about the NMC's along with your little friend who was cursed. I'm an agent also, but I work for someone else. And I also know some good info about you…" "So you're the one who cursed Kaz?" She asked, "You're a monster!" "You're a quick learner are you?" He replied. Then he looked at Static. "I remember you…" He said, "You're G.U.N's Special Agent and the highest of all. Rank One." "Shut up!" He shouted. "I am suppose to kill the highest agent, but since the Special Agent, Rank Seven, the lucky special agent, and her little friend had arrive, I have no choice but to evacuate until SHE chased me to the top and tried to kill me. It seems she had a special mitochondria power." He said. "Shut up you bastard!" He shouted. "Let's settle this on a two-on-one battle!!" She declared. "I accept." He said. They both got out their guns then shoot him rapidly. He approached then was about to swing his sword. They evaded the attack then shoot rapidly again. She looked at Static. "He's distracted." She said. She raised her hand then fire came out from her hand. When he looked at her, he was shocked. "No way…" He said, "No wonder the president and G.U.N made her a special agent." She suddenly noticed him then he stopped.
The man starts laughing. "I get it now." He said, "You're May's aren't you? Things are getting more interesting since I know about you two." "M-May…?" She repeated. "May?" Static repeated. He was suddenly hit on the head then he laid unconscious. She was the only one against him. Suddenly her vision was blurry. He was still laughing. She suddenly felt pain from her body. "What's wrong with me?!" She shouted. Demon-like angel wings appear from her back. She starts screaming. Then he was suddenly on fire then died. She felt her body heavy then lay down next to Static.

"Wake up, please wake up…" Said the voice. Eyes were opened. "Thank goodness." Said the man in a lab coat. "Ugh… Where am I?" Said the figure. Then it looked at the mirror. "Is this me? This is how I look like?" It asked, "I'm a pink hedgehog with blue streaks?" "You're not just a pink hedgehog with blue streaks." He answered, "You're a female hedgehog clone. I made you from two sisters, both are Japanese. The youngest sister died and the other sister had special mitochondrial powers."
"What happened to the youngest sister and what's her name?"
"Her name's Jinita Halencia Hedgehog. She was murdered. The surgeon's tried everything, but she died during the operation."
"That's so sad. Who's the other one?"
"Her name's Sonika Jenita Halencia Hedgehog. She's the oldest of the family. She has two brothers and the youngest sister that I mentioned."
"Why does Sonika has special mitochondrial powers?"
"You'll find more about her in this journal."
He gave her the journal. He went near to the desk then got the black suit with blue details. "Wear this suit. This suit tames your mitochondrial powers." He gave her the suit then she put in on. "Now let's go to the nursery." He said. "Before we go to the nursery," She interrupted, "what's your name…and what's my name?" "My name's Zack." He introduced, "Your name's May the Clone." "May…" She repeated. The two left then headed to the nursery.
