Chapter Eight: Welcome to the Shelter's Entrance

"We're here…" She announced. It was the next day. Sonika suddenly feels the strongest presence then stopped. "If we're here…" Static says, "Where's the entrance?" Parasite suddenly starts to growl as sparks come out from his cheeks. "Something wrong Parasite?" She asked. He jumped off from her shoulder then ran. "Parasite, wait!" She shouted. She grabbed her board as she jumped off then followed. "Hey Sonika! Wait!" He shouted. He grabbed both his and Kaz's board then followed.

Parasite's almost out of sight. She suddenly felt her heart pounding faster. She used acceleration then starts speeding up. From behind, he witness the power. "Whoa…" He awed. He suddenly had the Sonic feeling to speed up. The two are now keeping up with each other.

Parasite finally stopped. The two stopped as well. The three saw a herd of puma. He let out a shout then they looked at the three. The two grabbed their gun. All were statues until first motion. "Parasite! Take down!" She commanded. He speeds up then slammed one of the pumas. Static starts shooting. "Thunderbolt!" She shouted. "Pika…" He said as he stored energy. Then he shouted "Chu!" and electrical currents zapped the pumas. Some were either paralyzed or dead. There were a few of them. Then he approached to the puma who's larger than the rest. "Get away from my friends…" He said cold-hearted. The two were flabbergasted. "Did he spoke?" Static said with amaze. Sonika was silent. The little pikachu turned then went to her to be snuggled. She was back to her senses all of a sudden. She picked him up then snuggles him. Static tries not to ask her the question he said before. Then he looked around. "I guess we're inside the shelter." He said, "Am I right or wrong?" She placed the mutated pikachu on her shoulder. She closed her eyes. "Well…?" He asked. She opened her eyes then looked at him. "You're only half-right." She replied, "Look around again." He looks again. "We're barely there." She continued, "My senses detect that these tunnels will lead us to the shelter. There are no wrong answers, but there are dead ends." "Since you have the umm… instinct, where should we go?"

Parasite suddenly sensed the smell of blood from a distant. He jumped down then headed to the right. "Parasite!" Sonika shouted. "I guess we should follow Parasite," Static retorted, "He must've sensed something… or someone…" They started to follow the pikachu.
