"I
Can see the damage that-
I
Am causing you so much be-
I
You want me to be gone…
But I have just be-
GUN!"
(Station grid, Sonic the hedgehog and friends, plus one insane doctor Richtofhen, arrive at the deserted location of the G.U.N base within Station Square.)
Many overturned trucks blocked Sonic's way as he stopped unexpectedly, letting the doctor slip forward a few steps before standing still as he grasped his chest in a sudden urge to vomit.
"Nein, I don't like that… it's too fast for my stomach…" The doctor cried, wiping morsels of the vomit off his muzzle.
"Sorry doc, guess I ignored you're screams to slow down all the way here." Sonic smirked at the disoriented fox, who sat down on a barrier as he held his head.
"That kinda cheered me up though." Knuckles chuckled as he leaned against one of the burning trucks. "Hearing him suffer is like angels singing…"
"Uh, you two are the most ignorant beings I've ever met, why can't you be nice to me?" Edward asked with curiosity.
"Maybe it's because you keep saying this really disturbing stuff, and keep making those jokes to Tails." Sonic answered, staring right at the brown fox. "And not funny jokes, just really creepy ones… I'm not even sure you're making jokes…"
"You're such a Schwachkopf, you ugly blue rat. " Edward shouted. "I could get more intelligence out of my Backofen dann bist du tille kleines Gehirn."
"Uh... what did you say?" Sonic asked, not sure what to answer.
"Oh, pardon me, I have a tendancy to speak german when i'm angry or frusterated..." Edward acknowledged. "It's a little habit of mine after learning it..."
"Why would you need to speak german? That's not really nescessary when you're-"
"But Sonic, it's helpful to learn different languages. It's usefull for translating or speaking to another person who only speaks in that dialect, not to mention it broadens your horizon's." Tails interrupted Sonic. "It's not a bad language ether, it's quite easy to speak once you got the hand for it."
"How would you know that, Tails?" Sonic questioned his furry friend.
"Sorry für die Edward, er ist nur ein wenig dickköpfigen manchmal, irgendwie wie Knuckles Ausnahme mehr von sich selbst. Er ist wirklich schön wenn, wie ich sicher, dass Sie bin." Tails spoke fluently to Edward, who store back quite surprised.
"Das ist kein Problem, habe ich bemerkt, er ist ganz ... einzigartig, aber unsere Rivalitäten werden warten müssen, gibt es viel Arbeit, die getan werden muss." Edward answered back.
"Wait, Tails speaks german? When the hell did he learn that?" Sonic asked, confused by his brothers sudden speaking of another language.
"Looks like he went and learned a thing or two without you Sonic. Tough break." Knuckles said.
"So Edward, sind, was wir auf der Suche nach in der Basis? Eine bestimmte Dinge, die Sie wollen, dass wir achten müssen, oder andere Dinge, die wir beachten sollten?" Tails asked the doctor. "Just so we know."
"Ah, but of course. There is something we should be looking for, a little golden rod that would be a great help to us, it has little prongs that look like a- well, thats not important, but if it is here, which it might not, do get it if you see it." Edward explained. "Of course, it is optional, but I would be very gratful if any of you found it here..."
"Well, atleast you all started talking English again." Sonic breathed a sigh of releif.
"Glaubst du, es würde zu ärgern Sonic, wenn wir Deutsch sprechen wieder angefangen?" Tails spoke.
"Okay Tails, not funny. "
"Wahrscheinlich ist es nicht viel, um ihn zu ärgern scheint es, wie es um meinen glühenden grünen Kugeln macht ihn zucken ein wenig." Edward replied, laughing shortly after.
"I'm ignoring you guys, just forget it." Sonic retorted. "I don't have a clue as to what you're saying, but I don't care anymore."
"If you want to know, either learn German, or look it up on Google translate." Tails said, smiling at his big brother. "It's not hard to use Google."
Edward interrupted to two, clapping his hands together as he rubbed them together vigorously. "Now, we will be going inside."
They just nodded, following the doctor around the burning trucks and over the fence into the battle worn ground of the once occupied base. Many bodies were lying on the ground, blood scattered around the concrete runway as they ran over to the tents in front of the entrance.
"Jesus, what the hell happened… we just left for…" Sonic began to comprehend. "Imagine if they can do this so fast, I can't begin to think what they're doing in other places…"
"More reason to end it, now isn't it?" Edward said aloud, peering inside the base, seeing no one within. "Get inside, there's no one in here."
Sonic looked around before he hurried over to the doors, stopping as he heard a low buzzing noise. He turned around as he noticed a small radio on the ground, sparking and buzzing some incoherent rambling.
"Uh… hello?" Sonic said into the radio, surprised to hear some stingy static and then a reply.
"Whoa, hello!" A voice rang through the radio. "God damn, finally got someone on… hey, you with the military?" The voice asked him.
"No, not really." Sonic answered. "I'm just kind of at the base in Station Square, it's been destroyed by the zombies pretty much, and-"
"Oh, well that fucking helps me a lot. Thanks a lot, asshole."
"Wait, who are you?" Sonic asked the strange man on the radio.
"I'm just another guy, kicking ass and crushing skulls… zombie skulls that is, not people…" The voice replied. "Anyway, Tank Dempsey's my name, kicking ass is my game!"
"Okay, Dempsey, where are you?"
"I don't need you're fuckin' help, I've got a crack team of professionals here to extract a high-value target, doctor Richtofhen if you know him." The voice cracked. "I don't know if we're here to kill him though, they just said to find him and do what was needed… maybe I ought to kill him."
"I…" Sonic stuttered as he looked over to the brown fox waiting for him to hurry inside. "Hold on a moment."
"Hold on a moment? You think I'm just sitting here on my ass, sucking my thumbs and weeping like a baby? I'm killing zombies, not waiting for the ice cream truck!" Dempsey yelled. "Now you got ten seconds before I… (Slight struggle)Fuck you bone junkie, I'm not your sea rations!"
Sonic walked over to the door, creeping inside as Edward pulled the large doors till they came to a stop, blocking off the entrance as they were enclosed inside.
"Now, what were you doing? It shouldn't take so long to just walk inside here." Edward tried to question Sonic. "And why do you have that radio? Are you talking to someone?"
"Heh, their heads just pop like corn! I could do this all day!" Dempsey shouted over the radio. "Wish I just didn't run out of ammo though."
"It's too late to say no, isn't it?" Sonic sheepishly replied. Edward snatched the radio from Sonic's hand, putting his ear up to it as he listened for that person again.
"Hey, dumbass, you still there?" The radio crackled.
"If you're talking about the hedgehog, then yes, but you're talking to me now, and I demand you tell me who you are, and what you are doing." The fox questioned the man on the other side of the radio.
"Do you have a needle up your ass or something, cause you sure sound like a sour kraut, and not the good kind." Dempsey replied.
"How dare you, I am a genius, not one to be insulted by a fool of your magnitude, now who are you?" Edward shouted into the radio.
"Fu- y-you, you stu-… little s-"The voice managed to come through a little before breaking up and the radio died. Edward threw it to the ground, shaking his head as he looked up at Sonic and Tails.
"Well how pointless was that, but anyway, I have some things for you two." He said, handing both Sonic and Tails a M9 pistol. "A little handgun for shooting those nasty little demons, now do you know how to use them?"
"I know how to shoot…" Tails quietly said while looking at Sonic. "But, I don't know how to reload or anything…"
"Yeah, and not to mention I don't use guns, there immoral." Sonic argued. "I would never be caught using one of these things."
"Immoral? You worry about being immoral…" Edward slightly chuckled to himself. "Okay, let's take a look at the current situation quickly, because frankly, this is too much for me to just keep to myself."
"Oh boy, this is going to take a while…" Knuckles moaned aloud.
"So, the undead are attacking and killing people, turning them into even more undead while they try to rip the flesh off of your bones and eat you alive and well as your friends, but, the greatest thing is that you'll ether run or fight them up close, when they have more strength than a normal person and having a higher chance of being bitten when fighting hand to hand when you could avoid all of that by simply using a gun." Edward summed up. "So, when you think of immoral, you hinder yourself greatly by thinking that shooting already dead people till they die again? Even I can't make much sense of that."
Sonic stood still, holding the gun Edward had given him. He looked at it and gripped the handle, sliding his finger over the trigger and wrapping his finger around it.
"…I guess… it wouldn't hurt to… use one." Sonic quietly agreed.
"Good, now that we've got weapons, let me show you how to reload them." Edward said, pulling the magazine out of the gun and throwing it away while he pulled out another from his coat and slid it into the guns slot, clicking in as he finished reloading. "See? Simple."
"Alright… hey, you didn't even put ammo in these for us!" Sonic shouted while checking for the mag. "You do have more ammo for us right?"
"Of course." He uttered, handing all three of the mobians two magazines for each with an additional one for the first reload.
"Alright, we have ammo, guns, and we're all together back here in the G.U.N base, what do we do now?" Sonic asked, smiling slightly as he heard a loud buzzing sound.
All of them heard, as the sound suddenly became a loud beeping. The light on the first floor they were in blacked out, surrounding them in complete darkness as after thirty seconds, the emergency lights came on.
"Warning! All power has been disconnected, emergency power has been activated. Elevator is operational for a timeframe of one hour, please reconnect power within this timeline."
"Well, isn't that great?" Knuckles stated with enthusiasm. "Looks like I know what we're going to do, get the power back on."
"There must be a switch somewhere around here…" Tails added in. "I don't think they'd put it on the first floor though."
"You heard the voice thing; it said the elevator's working, so it must be down below us." Sonic said.
"Ah, I was hoping for this to be faster, but this isn't such a bad delay." Edward noted. "I guess it's agreed, we must restore the power… for this is obvious…"
They all agreed as they headed for the elevator, calling it up as they heard a small noise protruding from the small windows leading outside. The glass started to shatter as arms stuck threw, groans from the zombies entered inside the base as the team noticed their uninvited guests.
"How long is this elevator going to take?" Sonic shouted as the elevator was heard very slowly coming up from below.
"They're getting in!" Tails shouted as one of the zombies broke through the window, jumping through as he made a slight jog towards them.
Edward shot the zombie twice, one bullets piercing its shoulder while the other hit it in the abdomen. As the zombie got close, he ran up to it and stabbed it in the chest, pulling his knife up through its chest until it cut out through the neck.
"Then we must defend against the demons, we must kill every one of them until the elevator arrives!" Edward shouted.
"Don't have to tell me twice." Knuckles agreed, shooting at the few zombies that got in. He also ran up to one and gave it a heavy punch to the head, snapping its neck as it fell to the ground dead.
The elevator dinged, the numbers on the side coming up slowly. It had just reached three, making its way up slowly.
They stood crowded around the elevator, shooting away at the zombies while they kept waiting. They screamed harshly, their arms out as they scratched Sonic slightly before he spin dashed it to the ground. More kept coming as they all reloaded, firing of in groups again as they kept getting closer.
The elevator had just reached number two…
Ascend from darkness.
By the way, the translation won't come out that good if you do.
