Chapter 3 : Next Stop, Mall.
Tails, Cosmo, Mike, Chelsey, and Starlight were searching for Levinski, who was nowhere to be found. Mike had this ridiculous idea of luring him in with vodka. The idea was shot down for 2 things:
1. There's no vodka bottle they can use.
2. A certain purple feline felt offended and decided to give Mike a hard slap.
So, to make it short, the group spend the last hour to look for the green fox.
"Star." Cosmo spoke, "How can Tails and Levinski be twins? They're really..."
"Different?" the purple feline continued, "Yeah, sometimes everyone wonders. One kid is shy, innocent-looking, optimistic, while the other is violent, cranky and distrusting. I don't know. Fate really is a funny thing."
"Yeah, strange..."
"Well, if you look deeper, he's not that different. He was alone, constantly bullied. Sometimes, if shows his soft-side. And when he does, there's not much of a difference between him and Tails, except he's more mature. Well..."
"I still like Tails more."
"Good! Because Grass is all mine!"
"Who's all yours, Star?"
The group was startled as the green vulpine they were looking for appeared next to a truck wreckage. "Where were you, Lev?" asked Mike.
"Oh, just got a little bit lost. I was looking for a minimarket, but I ended up finding something better."
"And that would be?"
"The gunshop." This earned the fox everyone's attention, "Shadow has already found it though. And I spotted three people coming inside too, survivors."
"Where did you find it?"
"From here, we should go east. It's called 'Hell's Roses Gunz and Stuff'"
[Horizontal Line]
Typhoon was walking with Wrath, Ryan, Don, Ghost and Cole. He kinda felt a bit sorry for Shadow being stuck by Samuel and Reimaru. His group hadn't encountered any trouble, much to everyone's relief.
Suddenly however, a rustling sound could be heart from the bushes. Everyone soon pointed their guns on it, preparing for the worst.
The worst never happened though.
A gray red-eyed wolf came out from the bushes. He had short hair that was crushed back. He had lots of white fur around his neck. Some white lines and markings were visible on his chest, thighs and arms. He had a pair of red fingerless gloves and red shoes with a horizontal white stripe in the middle and the arch of the shoes was gold. He also wore a long red jacket.
"Light! Is that really you?" Typhoon called.
The wolf looked at the hedgehog. "Typhoon! It's been a long time!"
Wrath turned to Typhoon, "You know this guy?"
"Yeah. An old friend of mine. What brings you here?"
Light thought for a moment, "Erm... Fate?"
Typhoon just chuckled at the response, "You bring someone else with you?"
"Well, yeah. I met this gi..." but before Light could finish his sentences, a purple hedgehog appeared. Her quills reached midway down her back in a plait. She had emerald green eyes and slightly tanned muzzle. She wore a black leather jacket thrown over a white shirt, a pair of black jeans and jet black trainers with a white stripe around the edge. She also had black bowler hat on her head. Everyone could see numerous of weapons in her jacket.
"Whoa. Badass, don't you think, Fang?" commented Don.
"You got that right," said Ryan.
"Your friends, Light?" asked the female hedgehog.
"Yeah, well... Typhoon is my friend for sure"
"Well, name's Alex. Light and I just met five days ago in a Safe Room inside the mall. We're trying to find a way out, but I guess we got lost."
"The right way out is on the mall's atrium, miss, not backdoor" said Wrath.
"Atrium?" said Light, facepalming, "See? I told you we should've gone out, not deeper in!"
"Hey, everyone makes mistakes! Need I remind you who saved your ass when you tapped a feline Witch on her shoulder, the one you mistook as a survivor?"
"A Witch? What the hell is that?" asked Ghost.
"A female Infected with red glowing eyes, red hairs, long sharp claws. She's constantly crying when left alone. She won't attack you as long as you keep your distance and do absolutely nothing to startle her. When you do, you're dead."
"Well, let's search for the mall now. We still got 50 minutes anyway..." suggested Ryan.
"Good plan." Wrath agreed.
[Horizontal Line]
Shadow, Reimaru and Samuel were walking toward the gunshop. That is, until Rei heard some crying by a dumpster. He spotted a red-haired vixen with gray fur. Her clothing was ripped off, and looked as if it was made of rags. "Look, another survivor"
The demon fox approached the crying vixen and was about to tap her shoulder, "Hey, are yo…"
But Reimaru never finished his sentence as the Mobian vixen turned around, showing her red, demonic glowing eyes and her long claws. Her moan turned into growl as she got up. Reimaru could tell that he was in deep shit as the vixen screamed…
/!\ Reimaru has startled the Witch!
The Kyuubi quickly backed off in full sprint as the Witch vixen made a beeline toward him in an inhuman speed. Despite having pyrokinetic power, Reimaru was really terrified by the crazed Infected. TheWitch soon outran him and with a quick swipe, she brought him to the ground. Rei was at her mercy now, and knowing Witch, she wouldn't show any.
Shadow launched a Chaos Spear at her, but only made some scorching mark on her shoulder. Samuel also fired his pistol, but only created nothing but scratches. Reimaru was being sliced and diced mercilessly. He screamed in pain as loud as he could, only to make the Witch go even crazier.
"OW! OUCH! THE PAIN! IT HURTS! STOP IT!"
Fortunately for him, a chainsaw buzzing sound was heard behind the vixen. The Witch suddenly lost her head, literally. "YEAH! How do you like to suck on my chainsaw, you bitch?"
A red hedgehog with bangs on his head pulled the demon fox up. He wore black trench coat, orange jeans and blue cap worn backwards. He also had sunglasses on his eyes. His chainsaw was completely blood-soaked. "Looks like that crazy woman had just owned you, pal"
"I wasn't prepared! If I was, that pathetic walking corpse would be piles of ashes by now!"
"Uh-huh, sure. Name's Vegeta by the way. Mind telling me yours?"
"Reimaru. You're a survivor?"
"I talk to you, I'm still breathing, I guess I'm survivor enough"
Shadow and Samuel approached Reimaru and Vegeta. They both had their guns pointed forward. They quickly drew it back though after feeling safe, "You're a survivor?" asked Samuel.
"No, I'm a zombie who wants to eat your brains. YES! Do I even look like a zombie?" yelled Vegeta.
"Just checking, considering the fact that a zombie just fooled Reimaru." said Shadow.
"Oh, typical Witch. New folks always have a rough time with those chicks. So you're going to the gunshop?"
"Yeah. You too?"
"More or less. I don't feel like going all Rambo with just a Berreta and Chainsaw. I need a real shooter."
"Welcome to the company. I'm Shadow. What's your name?"
"Vegeta. And you're that Agent Shadow, right?"
"How did you...?"
"I know a lot about GUN, and you must be General Samuel Abraham Tower, although you don't seem to like your first name. You tend to hide it from everyone."
"What are you, a spy?" said Samuel.
"Nope. Just some curious guy who likes to read. So, are we going in?"
"Yes, we are..." the group slowly entered the gunshop. They spotted 3 Mobians were already inside, looking on the shotguns hanging on the wall.
One of the Mobians was white female polar bear. She had a black roundish nose. Her eyes were light blue. She had a kind of bulky body mass, but wasn't really that fat. She also had a pair of short and roundish ears. From the looks of her, she seemed to have no knowledge of gun.
The male wolf next to him was even worse than that. His fur was gray and brown. His tail was short, flat and roundish. His yellow eyes were trailing on the shelf. Shadow could tell that the boy hated guns.
The same thing didn't apply on the older wolf of the group, whom Shadow thought was the boy's father. His appearance resembled the younger wolf after all. He had black eyes and had this nasty scar going up through his right leg.
"This one looks nice. What do you think, Ordoz?" said the older wolf.
"Dad, please. I'm not using any of them." the younger one replied.
"Oh, come on, Son. We need to use them if we're going to survive. This isn't a game, you know that don't you."
"I know, dad. But please, I don't use gun. I don't need them. I can fight just fine with my sword."
The group then noticed the survivors behind them, "Oh, hello. You guys here for weapons?" asked the older wolf.
"Yeah. You're the owner?" asked Shadow.
"Well, no. Wherever the owners are, I don't think they'll mind. I'm Zolva Telsoa. This is my son, Ordoz, and his friend, Lacey Faldelt."
"I'm Shadow. This is Reimaru, Commander Tower and… Vegeta"
Ordoz looked at Samuel with a strange, unfriendly look. This made the commander felt uneasy, "Er… why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm sorry. My son, he's a bit uncomfortable with humans."
Before Samuel could say anything, the double doors were opened again. Mike and his group entered the gunshop. The brown hedgehog looked around and whistled, "Loads of guns, baby! I'm taking M32 and M16A4 and no one can stop me!"
"Go ahead, I'm going for the SPAS anyway" said Levinski, but then he paused for a while, "On second thought, I'll take M249…"
"M249 is mine, Grass!" exclaimed Starlight.
"Alright! RPD then!"
"Sold out…" said Mike, pointing at a sign that said 'RPD – Sold Out'.
"Okay! M79!"
"No supply, sorry bro…" replied Tails.
"ALRIGHT!" Levinski lost his temper, "I'm taking M4A1 with M203 Grenade Launcher attachment! Plus ACOG sight! Does anyone have anything to say about it?"
"Well, I'll take… Glock 18s?" said Chelsey.
"G18? Holy shit! They have that gun here?" exclaimed Mike.
"Yeah, and it costs about… whatever. It's free now, anyway."
"I'm going for M3 Shotgun" said Tails.
"I'll taaaake, this one?" said Cosmo. But soon, everyone stared at her with 'Are you serious?' look, "What?"
"It's M9, Cosmo," said Mike, "Who the hell wants to go out there killing billions of zombies with just a single M9 pistol? Some people with death wish, probably"
"Well, okay. How about this one?" The Seedrian took an M14 EBR.
"Good pick. Stay in the back, and you'll have no problem. Oh, hey Shadow. Didn't see you there."
The black hedgehog just 'Hmph'-ed at him, "You sure are too busy that you didn't notice us"
"Can't help it when you're surrounded by loads of badass zombie-killing guns… and stuff"
"Hey, Mike! Check it out! Laser sights!"
The brown hedgehog disappeared and reappeared next to Levinski, "OMG! I can stay here all day!"
"Hey, Shadow. Who are they?" asked Starlight.
"Well, the older one was Zolva. That's his son, Ordoz. And that's Lacey. We just met here"
"And why is Vegeta with you?" the feline pointed at the red hedgehog.
"Oh, you know him?"
"Yeah," said Vegeta, "I met Mike, Levinski and Starlight in an almost similar apocalypse not a long time ago. By the way, no offense, Mr. Telsoa, but why does your son hate guns?"
"Oh, he's just a melee type of person. And… he had this… misfortune that involves gun."
"Well, kid," said Shadow, "You won't last a day in this place"
"Ahem… Shadow…" warned Mike.
"Oh, I'm not that weak! I can fight well without those… things!"
"Trust Mister Ultimate Jackass here, Ordoz," said Levinski, earning a death glare from Shadow, "There are some time when you need these 'things', even though you're not comfortable with it."
The wolf scoffed at the fox, "You must be really weak if you say something like that."
"Oh yeah?" Tails began to worry about his short-tempered brother that he began to look at him and Ordoz, "At least I'm being logical and realistic!"
"Both of you calm down! If you want to fight, you better fight those zombies, not each other!" yelled Chelsey.
"She's right, son." Said Zolva, "Save your energy for the zombies. You're gonna need them."
"Hello? Anyone in there?" suddenly a male voice was heard from the speaker.
"Someone's still alive…" Samuel spoke.
"If anyone can read me, press the button on the counter"
Mike quickly went to the counter and pressed the red button, "Yeah? We're here."
"Glad to hear someone still alive. I'm Jonathan Rose. My brothers and I are trapped in the Safe Room we built ourselves on the second story. But the door is broken and our supplies are running out. We need your help to destroy the door, but it's pretty thick that no explosives can destroy it."
"Then how can we open it?" asked Vegeta.
"There are some spots on the door we made for emergency. If you can create some holes on it, the door will be able to open. You can do it using blowtorches. There's a tool shop nearby, and I'm sure you can find one or two there. We can't give you any cover, so you're on your own"
"Alright, but how do we know you won't double-cross us?" Shadow asked.
"We don't have any reason to do so. We have guns, and we can scavenge for supplies from abandoned minimarkets, unless maybe if we go together"
"Okay. We'll help you out, mister!" Cosmo spoke, "Just count on us!"
"Thanks. We'll be your eye in the sky. It's lucky we still got a working surveillance camera outside"
Everyone looked at Cosmo as the communication was cut, "You know, you better be careful when helping someone, Cosmo" said Starlight, "You don't know if they're up to something or not."
"They don't have any reason, right?"
"That doesn't mean they won't do anything"
"Well, anyway," said Reimaru, "Are we going upstairs now? 'Cause I can smell the scent of rotten meats already."
"Someone's got a zombie-killing spirit…" commented Vegeta.
[Horizontal Line]
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"Not yet."
"Hey, are we there yet?"
"No…"
"Are we there yet?"
"No!"
"Are. We there. Yet?"
"Yes."
"Really?"
"NO!"
"Are we there yet?"
"No!"
"Are we there yet?"
"NOOOOOO!"
Light was getting everyone pissed off as he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Typhoon was probably the one feeling worst of them all. He had this urge of giving the wolf an extra extra extra extra extra hard punch.
"I want to know…" Don spoke to Typhoon, "Do you mind if I burn your friend's ass? He's starting to get on my nerves."
"He's always like that. 10…9…"
"What are you doing?"
"Counting. 4…3…2…1…"
"Are we there y-"
"NO!"
Don quickly understood what Typhoon was counting for, "Good calculations…"
"He's always like this when we take him for travel"
"Haha… wait… did you hear that?"
Typhoon soon heard some moans nearby a building. He spotted a figure in the shadows by a building. "Hey, who's that?"
"That's a W-, hey Light!" Alex was soon alerted as the wolf used his powers to shine the figure, which happened to be a purple female hedgehog who had red glowing eyes, red hairs, and… well… long claws.
And then she shrieked, really loud.
/!\ Light has startled the Witch!
Alex facepalmed as the Witch made a beeline toward the gray wolf. To say that he almost wet his pants would be an understatement. She dashed toward the Witch, baring the blades she wore on each of her knuckles.
Then she stabbed the Witch, right on the chest.
The Witch was quick to be dead due to the high speed she was on when the blades were embedded on her body. Alex sighed in relief, and scowled at Light, "That's the second time I saved your ass from those bitches, you stupid jarhead"
"Hey, wait…" Wrath then looked at the building, "I know this place. It's the mall! We're here! That's the Safe Room!"
The fox pointed at a red metal door on the wall. Everyone soon cheered, but then shushed each others as they feared that they might call the zombies with their noises.
"…No, not another one of your stupid experiments, Kefka!"
The group turned around, to see a gray echidna talking to a red furred fox. The gray echidna wore a pair of thick leather boots, and a pair of bronze metal bracers that went from his wrists all the way up to his elbows with a spike sticking out the end. He was very scruffy-loking and really dirty, scars could be seen all over his body, both fresh and old ones. The fox next to him had black jeans, shirt, boots, and a hoodless cloak. He had an eye patch on the right eye, and barely visible scar.
What scared the group was the fact that the fox was pointing a Desert Eagle on a car. And he pointed at it as if he wanted to shoot it.
"I thought you enjoy killing them. You'll have your chances when things gone wrong"
"Kefka, this is the last…"
BANG!
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
"Well, what a loud sound, huh?"
/!\ Here they come!
Growls could be heard from every direction. The group prepared their weapons, waiting for the zombie.
And then they came, in a massive number.
Some of the zombies scattered from the group and began attacking each other, but most of them were running toward the survivors, including the echidna and the Mobian fox, whom Cole spotted was closing his eyes, and extended one of his arms. "Guys, is it just me, or that guy is trying to control the Infecteds?"
He didn't get his answer as gazillions of zombies kept everyone busy. Cole just shrugged and joined the fight. Everyone hacked, shot, wrestled, etc. But the zombies kept coming. The endless wave of zombies had drained everyone's strength and hope. Some of the survivors even lost it.
"Grr.. Tornado Kick!" Typhoon exclaimed, bringing his leg back down on an infected police.
As he did, an explosion of wind blew around and threw away several Infecteds against the wall. But more replaced them soon enough.
"FIRE IN THE HOLE!"
A pipe bomb flew past them, and suddenly every infected were racing toward it. Several beeping later, every single zombie remained were dead in a massive fiery explosion. The group turned around to see the gray echidna in a throwing position. "I seriously hate your games, you Lucifer…" he muttered.
The red fox just chuckled darkly, "Okay, I admit it. I still need a better way to get them controlled"
"You do that again and I'm gonna cut your stomach open and eat your inte…"
"Hey! Not in front of the kids!" Cole called.
"Oh, who are you?"
"Just a bunch of survivors trying to survive. I'm Cole, they're my brothers, Don and Ghost. That's Typhoon, Light, Alex, Ryan… or Fang, and… Wrath."
"I'm Ein, and that creature over there is Kefka…"
"HEY! I'M A FOX!"
"Anyway, we're looking for the Safe Room… or at least, 'I' do"
"It's right behind you, Ein"
The echidna turned around, "Oh! Thanks. Well, let's get inside, before Lucifer there calls another Horde…"
"Wait, we need to do something first" Ryan looked up to the sky and fired a flare signal upward, "I hope you guys see the signal…" he muttered.
A/N : Okay, that's another chapter wrapped up! Review please!
I edited the map a bit, because I can't really memorize everything, except Whittaker's gunshop (now named 'Hell's Roses Gunz and Stuff'). I don't feel like giving the gunshop group a stupid task of collecting Colas, even though the Roses needs it for supplies. :p
Thanks for last reviews and submissions! Space is still open!
