Chapter Two: The Terror Strikes

At Thorndyke Estate, outside, she saw Kaz and the kids. "Kaz!!" She shouted. She went near then hugged her. "How are ya?" She asked. "Fine." She asnwered. "What's going on? Why are Maria, Cosmo, Emerl, my kids and everyone's kids are here? Where's Clumsy and my Ashley? Where are Danny and Alyssa?" She asked. "Well…" She said, "We 're just playing until Sonic and Shadow started to scream. They went berserk then started to attack us. Kncukles, Tails, Rouge, Cream and Amy went berserk as well. We've started to evacuate when they've gone berserk. Rouge, Cream and Amy went out of the Estate. The four of them were worried about Team Sonic and Shadow then went inside. Suddenly, your team went to the Estate then told us to evacute. Maria told them some are still inside then they went in. Then that's it." "What about Chris…?" She asked. "He's still inside the lab." She asnwered. She turned around then looked at Jerick and Maeda. "I'd better go inside to get them." She declared, "You stay here." "Sonika, wait. I wanna give you this." Maeda said. He got a charm then gave it to her. "This is a special charm from Japan." "Thanks." She said. She went inside then saw everything was deserted. "I'd better see Chris to see if he's alright." She said. She went to the lab by elevator.

At the lab, she saw Chris. "Chris!!" She shouted. He heard her voice then stood up. "Sonika!" He shouted. She went near him. "Chris, Sonic and friends are going berserk." She announced. "I know…" He said, "I've created a special antidote to make them back to normal. Here take it. I made them into ammo." He gave seven boxes to her. "Thanks Chris." She said. She got her Gunblade then placed ten inside. "I've got to save Clumsy, Ashley…and my friends." She declared. She went out of the lab.

Upstairs, she suddenly sensed a strange presence. Her irises shrink. "Gerald…" She said. She ran off to find him. At the library, she saw Zeke with Gerald. "Zeke…?" She said, "What happen to Gerald?" "Well," He asnwered, "A mutated two-tailed fox suddenly appeared then attacked him. When I went in, I saw him bleeding to death. Why…? Why do you have to go?!" He cried in tears. "Zeke…" Said Gerald softly, "You…have…to run the weapons department…" Then he closed his eyes then, he left earth. "Gerald!!" She shouted. "NOOOO!!!" He shouted. "Zeke, you have to get out." She said, "It's dangerous." "Alright Sonika. Please watch out for the mutated fox." He said. He ran off. She suddenly felt another presence. "Vincent…?" She said. She dashed to find him.

With Vincent, he's following the four. "You hedgehogs, you have to get out!!" He shouted. "I wanna know if uncle's alright." Clumsy said. "I wanna know if dad's alright and Sonic." Ashley said. The two dashed away from him. "WAIT!!" He shouted then followed them.

With Sonika, she felt another presence. A figure suddenly appeared in front of her. "Knuckles…?" She said. His spikes are up; his tail grew longer; a thorn came out from his chest and; his spike from his hand are huge. He looked at her narrowly then started to roar. "Your not Knuckles…" She said, "Your Mitochondria Knuckles." He went near then scratched her. "Ahh!" She shouted. She got her Gunblade then shot him. He roared in pain then started to get angry. He was about to scratch her until she dodged him then shot him ten times. He started to roar once more then fainted. He started to grow back to normal. He woke up then saw her. "Sonika…" He said, "What's going on?" "Long story." She answered, "You have to get out. It's dangerous." "You'll be alright?" He asked. "I need to save someone." She answered then ran to find the rest. He dashed off.

At the hallway, she felt another presence. Another figure appeared in front of her. The figure's face had thorns on each end of its fur; one of its two tails had a parasite snake and; one of its eyes was disappeared. It roared at her. She suddenly saw its teeth full of blood. Her irises shrink "Mitochondria Tails…" She said as she pointed her gun to him, "You're the one who killed Gerald…you'll pay for this…May…" He turned around then the parasite snake from his tail attacked. She quickly dodged the snake then shot it. He shrieked as the snake was shot. He got mad then charged at her. "Oh no…" She said in her thoughts, "What should I do?" He came closer then she jumped out then he bang at the wall very hard. He suddenly got dizzy then she shot him seven times. He started to shriek then he whet to normal. "What happened…?" He said. He looked up then saw her. "Sonika…?" He said, "What are you doing here?" "Long story," She answered, "but Kaz can answer that, you have to leave." "I'm not leaving until you get out first." He declared. "I'm an officer," She said, "I can handle on my own. Clumsy and my daughter, Ashley is following Sonic and Shadow. I have a hunch Vincent is following them. You've got to get out." "Alright Sonika…" He said, "Be careful…" He ran off.

Outside, Kaz saw Knuckles. "Knuckles!!" She shouted, "You're back to normal." "Yeah," He said, "Sonika just shot me then I was back." "So that's why Chris had been in the lab yesterday morning." Maria declared, "He was making an antidote if this happens." Tails suddenly ran out of the door. Cosmo, Crystal and Alex saw him then went near him then hugged him. "Tails!" Cosmo said. "Dad!" Said the kids. Jerick went near to him as they stopped hugging him. "Is Sonika alright?" He asked. "Yeah…" He answered, "But I think I saw some scratches on her face and on her arm." "WHAT?!" He reacted. He ran inside. "Jerick!!" Kaz shouted. "You know him…?" Zoro asked. "Your mother's partner." She answered. "Oh…" He said. "That's all you could say Z?! Oh?!" Cherri asked, "Why do I have you? You're like dad!!" "Oh I'm so sorry, should I be a bit more polite?" He said sarcastically. "I really wonder she had him for a twin brother?" Hunter asked, "He's like Shadow with Sonic's persona." "Beats me bro." Jewel answered.

At the empty room, Sonic and Shadow knelt down then screamed. The four appeared then approached the two slowly. "Sonic…dad…" Ashley said softly. "Uncle…" Clumsy said. "Sonic…Shadow…" Said Danny and Alyssa. Vincent suddenly appeared then grabbed them. "Let us go!!" They said, "They don't feel good." He went near the corner, placed them down then pointed his gun to them. "Stop! Don't hurt them!!" They pleaded. "They aren't Sonic and Shadow." He said, "May had turned them into a monster. They're now dead!" "Dead…?" Ashley repeated.

Sonic was first evolving. His spikes grew longer, muscles are shown. His teeth grew longer and sharper; his tail grew longer; his back suddenly grew deadly spikes and his irises turned small and black. Shadow was next. His head started to split; his teeth grew larger; two heads suddenly appeared during the split; his gloves are ripped but the rings are still in placed; he suddenly grew claws and an eye on the left and; a huge mouth and large eyes appeared. They stand up then started to growl and snarl.

All five of them were shocked. "Dad…" She said. They heard a voice then approached them slowly. "You're not touching them!!" Vincent roared. He started shooting them. They dodged the bullets then went closer. He suddenly ran out of bullets. She went in front of him then shouted, "CHAOS…AURA!!!" A light blue shield appeared. "Hang on guys!!" She shouted.

With Sonika, she felt a strong presence. "Ashley!!" She shouted. She ran to find her. "Hang on Ashley," She said, "I'm coming for you!" She suddenly saw mitochondria crows and rats. "How did they…? May…" She said. She switched Gunblade to M16A1. She shot the crows then the rats. She hurried to know if she's alright. She suddenly felt Ashley in trouble. She ran faster. By the hallway, she saw Julie, Mitochondria Julie. "Oh no…" She said, "May got you…" She started to growl then tackled her. She switched to Gunblade then shot her three times. She suddenly fainted then Dark Shade appeared. He started to snarl then attacked her. "Dark Shade!" She shouted, "Not you also…" She quickly dodged then shot him. He got angry then used quick attack then made a direct hit. She shot him once more then he fainted. "I'm so sorry…" She whimpered. They suddenly went back to normal then gain consciousness. She left them as they got up. "I'm so injured badly." She said. Then she suddenly remembered about the potions. "The potions!" She got one out then drank it. She felt her body recovering then ran to find them.

She suddenly heard a roar and snarl from afar. "It must be Sonic and Shadow." She said. She headed to the doors then entered unexpectedly. She saw Ashley injured and Vincent nearly dying. "Sonika…!" He said. "Mom…" She said. "Aunt Sonika," Clumsy whimpered, "Ashley and Mr. Vincent's hurt." She suddenly saw Mitochondria Sonic and Shadow. "Sonic-san…Shadou-san…?" She said. "They're not themselves anymore!" Danny announced. "They're already dead!" Alyssa added. She knelt down to her knees then tears appeared. "No, they're not dead…" She sobbed, "They're only called Mitochondria Sonic and Mitochondria Shadow…" She stood up; tears in her eyes still, then pointed the Gunblade to them. "I WILL MAKE MAY PAY FOR THIS MENACE!!!" She shouted. She approached them. "Hey Mitochondria," She yelled, "I'm the one you wanted not them. Come get me!!"

Mitochondria Sonic started first. He started to do spin dash then attacked her. It was a direct hit then she was hit on the wall. "Ahh!!" She screamed. "Mom…!" Ashley screamed until she felt pain on her chest. "Ashley you have to rest." Clumsy reminded. She got up slowly. She shot him twice then went up to the ceiling. She jumped then shot him on the head then landed safely. He screeched in pain then knelt down. He got angry then used Sonic Drive then headed to her. She jumped out of the way then got hit on the wall. She shot him fast until he screeched once more then was knocked unconscious. He slowly went back to normal.

She approached Mitochondria Shadow about to attack her. "Shadow…" She said in her thoughts, "I'm sorry to hurt you, but I have to get May's mitochondria out of your system once and for all. He started to charge a beam then shoot. She dodged it then shot him twice. She suddenly went to close then bit her. "Ugh…" She cried out. She got out from his distance then shot him twice again. She suddenly saw once head about to do something. She quickly shot then he stops doing the ability. The three headed roared meaning that they're extremely angry. She was trapped on the corner. He approached her closely. He raised his left hand, ready to swipe. "Shadow…please don't hurt me…" She pleaded, "Please…I beg of you…" When he's about to swipe a sudden feeling began to control him. It was his will, trying not to hurt her. "Shadow…?" She said. One of his head said a plea, "Sonika…you have to shoot me…" "Shadow, I don't want to hurt you…" She cried. "You…have to…" He said, "Shoot me…I can't hold myself any…longer…" She shot him many times then he roared in pain then was knocked down. She went near him then sat down. She grabbed on of his head then rubbed them softly. Tears suddenly appeared. "Shadow…" She cried.

After the process was done, Sonic suddenly woke up. He suddenly felt his muscles straining. "Ugh…what happened?" He said. He suddenly Sonika with the monster. "Sonika…?" He said. He slowly stood up then slowly walked towards her. As he approached her, she saw her crying. "Sonika…what happened…?" He asked as he went near her then slowly sat down with her then placed his head on her shoulder. "You've been transformed into Mitochondria Parasites and tried to attack my kids." She answered, "I went in to shoot you then you're back to normal." "You…shot me?" He asked. "Yes," She answered, "It's the only way to get you back to normal. Chris made an antidote to turn the ones I know back to normal." He looked at the monster then saw familiar spikes. He got his head up. His irises shrink. "Is that…" He said. "Yes…it's Shadou-san." She cried. "Shadow…is still…a…monster…?" He asked. "I've already shoot him then he fainted," She answered, "but he's still a monster." She laid her head on his head then cried again. He also laid his head on his head.

As they cried, he was going back to normal. He slowly lifted his hands then placed them on their cheek. "I'm…alright…" He whispered, "I'm just…badly injured…just like Sonic-san…" The two heard his voice then hugged him gently. "Shadow…" They said. "Good to see you back buddy." Sonic said. The two felt extreme pain inside their body. She placed Sonic down then placed their heads on her lap. "It's alright you two," She said, "I'm here…I'm here…"

Jerick suddenly appeared. He saw his kids and Vincent. He ran near them. "Danny! Alyssa!" He shouted. "Daddy!!" They shouted. "You alright kids?" He asked. "Yes daddy." They answered. "Sonika did her best." Alyssa added. "And Mr. Vincent protected us." Danny added. He went near to Vincent. "Sir…thanks for protecting my kids…" He said. "Just call me 'Vince' like in the old times before Sonika was here…" Clumsy and Ashley went near to Sonika with Sonic and Shadow, sleeping. "Aunt Sonika…are they alright…?" He asked. "They need to be treated and have plenty of rest. They're just fine…" She answered. They hugged her then started to cry. The four of them went near her. "Good job Sonika…" Jerick announced. "Thanks…" She said.

Everyone, but Chris and Maeda, appeared then saw Sonika. "Sonika…!" They said as they approached her. They suddenly saw the hedgehogs badly injured. They were shocked. "They need medical attention!" Kaz announced. "Knuckles, please take them back to their room." Maria suggested. "Yes Maria." He said. He picked them up then headed downstairs to place them back to their bedroom. She turned to Ashley. "Ashley," She said, "I suggest that you should rest." "Yes ma'am." She said. "Clumsy, you help your cousin." She said. "Okay Maria…" He said. The two went downstairs.

Jerick suddenly heard someone collapsed. He turned around then saw Vince. He went near him. "Vince, you alright?" He asked. "Looks like I won't be here on earth anymore." He answered, "You're now…Captain of…SSPD…" He closed his eyes then left earth. "Vince…" He sighed.
