Chris smiled, and a tear rolled down his face, then set Sonic down. Jill pulled her Kevlar vest back on. "Let's move, we're wasting time" "That's right my friends!" Sonic said, looking ready to go off in a flash. Wesker looked around the hallway "Okay, we've got four choices; the door to our left, the two doors in the hallway, and the door at the bottom of the stairs over there."
Jill:"I'd go with the stairs, Barry's not likely to be found on the second floor"
Chris nods:"Makes the most logical sense"
Ken rubbed his shoulder "Jill makes a good point" "Hmmmm... Okay then" Sonic said after thinking for a few seconds "Let's move!"
After moving cautiously down the hallway, being careful if any more ceilings collapsed, they made their way to the bottom of the stairs. Not wanting to activate any traps, they clustered around the door, opening it cautiously. Inside is a kitchen with mostly corroded pots and pans. Off t one side, a dead body lay on the floor, rotting. Chris sighed in irritation "You know something, no matter how many times I see rotting corpses, they're ALWAYS the ones that haven't been dead long enough, or else they die right in front of me. It's starting to piss me off" Ken rubbed his nose "We should decapitate it, the one that ambushed me looked dead too" Chris knelt and unsheathed his knife "Fine by me" Sonic sniffed the air "I smell something" He said, looking around the kitchen. Chris stopped in mid-cut "What is it?" "It's something that makes me hungry?" Sonic said, sounding confused. Jill followed the smell, and then cautiously removed the lid of a pot, sniffing it "What?!" Sonic zoomed over to her side "What is it?" Jill raised a questioning eyebrow "Fresh chili" Sonic eyes popped out of his head A/N If you've ever seen "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" then picture what happens when Roger drinks alcohol. as he grabbed the ladle and ate the contents. "Damn, that's good chili" he said as he wiped his mouth "Tastes like my uncles chili" he turned to the members of STARS and asked "You guys want some? It's really good" Chris spooned some onto a hotdog "Don't mind if I do. We got Bravo's message right before we could eat" Wesker sighed in irritation "Have you thought that that stuff might be poisoned?" Acting just as he was saying that, Jill took a sample of the chili and added a drop of liquid to the test-tube. After shaking it up, it still looked the same. "Nope, it's not" Chris moved past Jill to the stove, took the last bite of his chili-dog, and moved the pot off to one side. Moving cautiously, he touched the back of his hand to the burner"It's cold... There's a small amount of warmth from the pot on the burner, but" he tried to turn the burner on "Nope, the gas is shut off. This was brought here somehow." Wesker adjusted his sunglasses and prepped himself a chilidog "Feels like someone was expecting us" he said as the corpse behind him rose up. With a flourish, Sonic downed the last bite of his chilidog and wiped his mouth off. To the surprise of everyone there, a dark look came over his face, and his eyelids fell shut "You know, if I wanted an undead monstrosity to eat all the food, I'd have asked for it. But I didn't, and I don't. You're a shambling husk of a man, not fit to walk the planet. The dead are supposed to die and stay that way. Oh well, I guess I'll have to make sure you never get up again" Sonic's eyes shot open, green irises blazing. Jumping off the stove, he leapt towards the zombie, and spindashed right through the zombie's head. Landing on his feet, he dusted his gloves off, smiled and opened his eyes, revealing coal black irises "And that, my friend, is the reason you suck"
Chris stood there, speechless "I'm not sure if I should worry or laugh" he said, as he finally got his thoughts together "That was both dark, and strangely comedic" Sonic laughed "It's called black humor, and I like to use it when it fits" As he said that a violent flash of green lit up from the alcove behind the stove, and the members of STARS pulled their guns out in a flash. "STARS, show yourself! Jill, cover me" he walked cautiously up to the alcove to find, nothing "What the hell?" Sonic dashed over to him "Nothing. And I can feel a lot of chaos around here too" Chris relaxed, and finished off his chilidog "So someone Chaos Controlled some food into here, and then left. Brilliant" Sonic zipped over to him and perched on the counter "Chaos Control?" Chris nodded "Try thinking of a place, somewhere a couple feet away, just to be safe. Now hold that emerald you've got there and say 'Chaos Control!'" Sonic looked at the emerald in his hand "Huh, I forgot I had that." He closed his eyes and concentrated on the floor immediately to his left. "Chaos Control!" With the same violent flash of green as before, he disappeared from the countertop and on the floor next to it. Chris nodded "Just like that Sonic." "That's neat, but it's not as fun as running from place to place"
