"When I did my testing of the weapons, I learned of new things. That there are other facility's with the main purpose of manufacturing weapons out of element 115, if only I was at one of those, I wouldn't have to sneak all this 'illegal' equipment around. Thankfully, Maxis is very trusting towards me, but he seems to be more… careful around me. Perhaps he thinks I'm suffering from the radiation, but my research has concluded that certain people have the blood type and immune system to counteract the elements burning like feel. Of course, I'm one of those people, although using myself as a test subject is not preferable, it was the best I could do, with how strict government policies are nowadays. Perhaps this recording is going longer than I anticipated, but I must hit every crucial detail."

(Takes a moment to pause)

"I wish I was back in the 1940's, all of the testing back then would have given me everything I needed, and the right resource's for doing it. Although, I must work on these insufferable teleporters, even if I'm more familiar with bodies and such, I do know quite a bit of knowledge on mechanical stuff. Maxis requested me anyway, which is not bad, although he does seem… well I already said he was… ugh, let's just say he's a bit conscience of the zombies being made. It's quite sad, seeing a great mind like him being haunted by such meaningless things, as I think the zombies are quite interesting, being here wasn't the first time I saw them. There were the ones at the Anstieg, but that facility was doomed from the start because of Maxis's brother. So I killed him… somewhat, well the zombie killed him. Ah, so that was a lot, and I feel much better after getting all that air out. Maybe that's why Maxis does them? Bah, he probably doesn't do them as long. This is Doctor Edward Richtofhen, ending my- oh, look at this, a toy doll! Where did you come from? Oh, and those two tails… so adorable… I think I need a moment alone."

(End recording)

Sonic and Tails sat in the back of the BTR while Richtofhen drove the hulking machine away from the base and onto the main highway leading toward Mobotropolis. Knuckles handling the machine gun on top as he looked for the zombies coming from anywhere, especially those hellhounds.

"It looks like we gave them the slip, Edward." Knuckles said as he climbed back inside. "I don't see any of them; we're clear out of this place."

"Good, now we continue onward to our destined location." The mad fox spoke in his seat.

"You mean this… Geisteskranken you spoke of?" Tails asked him as he lay in the back with Sonic, who held his neck as the bite was beginning to burn.

"Yes, there are things there that will turn the tide of our battle against the undead."

"Hey doctor…" Sonic weakly mumbled. He winched as he took his hand off of the wound, seeing his exposed flesh bled slightly as he turned his head to Richtofhen. "You wouldn't mind looking at this… would you?"

"Later hedgehog, I am busy driving. Perhaps all of you should take a nap, you all happen to look very drowsy. You wouldn't want to be sleepy when we arrive at the facility." The doctor emotionlessly replied as he sat at the wheel.

"I do feel tired, now that you mentioned it." Tails acknowledged. "I hadn't gotten to go to sleep… because of this."

"This isn't exactly a luxury hotel for you to nap in Tails; it's a bunch of metal for you to rest your head on!" Knuckles retorted.

"Better to be in here, where it is safe and secure to sleep, then outside there where all the zombies are." Richtofhen pointed out.

"Yeah… maybe he's right for once…" Sonic agreed with the brown fox. "Besides, I just feel… tired, I just need to sleep."

"Sonic, you trust being in here with him?"

"I didn't say that… but he's not a zombie, so what could happen that could be bad?"

The echidna sat there as he mumbled something incoherent, sliding over to the side as he laid his head back against the wall. "Sonic, if something bad happens; I'm going to make you pay for it."

"We'll see about that, Knucklehead." Sonic grinned as he began to drowse off.

"Don't worry Echidna, I do need you three. Nothing will happen to you while you sleep, I assure it." The doctor laughed silently as he looked back at them.

"Better not." Knuckles uttered as he slumped his head back and fell asleep, leaving Tails as the only other one besides Richtofhen to be awake.

"So my little friend, aren't you going to take a nap?"

"Not yet, I just wanted to ask you a few questions before that if you don't mind Edward." The yellow fox politely inquired.

"I don't mind at all, just ask away."

"Alright." Tails coughed as he looked up at the doctor. "Is there really a way to stop all of this?"

"Of course there is, why wouldn't there be?" Richtofhen answered with a creepy smile. "You've seen the zombies; they're not un-killable, so why wouldn't we be able to stop them?"

"I know Edward, but can you tell me… how will we do it?"

"I'm glad you asked, because I've created the device that we will be using. It's called the WunderWaffe DG-2, a weapon I constructed using the very source of the zombies and the teleporters, element 115." He smiled from his seat. "It is only a prototype, but I've tried it before and it works."

"So just a special kind of gun? How will that fix everything?" The two tailed fox asked from the back, yawning as he began to grow more tired.

"I will have to tell you later, you seem to almost be sleep deprived." Richtofhen said as he took a moment to look back and see the dark circles under the kits eyes.

Tails only yawned again as he nodded his head, letting it fall back as he leaned against Sonic's shoulder and fell asleep, leaving Richtofhen as the only one awake as he drove down the dark highway towards their destination.

"Ah, I didn't know that I would have promising pawns such as these three…" He mumbled to himself. "It's much better than three people I wouldn't like, well maybe I would like one or two of them, but one is just fine."

Back in Station Square

"What the hell is this?" Dempsey muttered as he picked up a golden colored rod that had three prongs sticking out. "Gee, I'd really like to know what this crap is…"

Grumbling, he stuck the unknown device into his pocket. Pacing around, he wondered when his luck would change or when he'd get killed by the zombie menace. Either way, was going to wait a while until it happened.

A few hours after the group fell asleep

The BTR stopped meters outside of a nearby gas station as the menacing vehicle made a slight screech before being motionless. The maniac driving it inside took a moment to look at the scenery as he sighed and crawled into the back where the other three were.

Richtofhen looked at the two of his hated companions, then at the furry fox he quite enjoyed being around. He carefully lifted Tails head as he softly put him against the wall to get a good look at Sonic.

The doctor examined the bite on Sonic's neck, seeing the small scabs around it beginning to form. Frowning as the hedgehog tossed and turned when he touched it, noticing how he opened his mouth slightly and began to bite down.

"Hm… he isn't immune." The doctor whispered to himself as he looked over at the fox, grabbing his arm as he did the same thing with Tails arm, not getting him to twitch or anything.

"Good, the element has already adjusted to his body…"

Then he looked over to the Echidna, swearing that he would donate this idiotic brute to medical science after all of this. But, he still looked at him, noticing that he had a bite formerly on his leg. Knuckles winced slightly as Richtofhen touched the bite and then rubbed his whole hand on it, being pissed off with the echidna and causing him a small amount of pain.

"I wish I could let you die, but sadly I do require you as well Echidna…" He muttered as he dipped his hand into his coat pocket and pulled out two syringes filled with a strange red liquid.

He took the small cap that covered the tip off as he stabbed the needle into Knuckles leg, letting all of the red liquid drain into his body as he pulled it out afterward. Knuckles seemed to shake as he moved his lips and mouthed out words, one that Edward could understand before he turned his head over to the blue hedgehog.

"And now for you." He whispered as he did the same with Sonic, injecting the syringe into Sonic's arm as the liquid flowed into his bloodstream. Sonic's body began to feel cold as the doctor put his hand on his head, noticing that his temperature was suddenly beginning to rise.

He grinned as the hedgehog tossed and turned even more, chattering his teeth as he wrapped himself in Miles tails. The doctor watched there for a moment as he turned away from the three, sighing as he threw the syringes against the floor and crawled back over to the driver's seat.

"It won't take long. Things at Geisteskranken should be taken of quickly once we get there, depending if he's there…" Richtofhen muttered as he looked back at Tails, seeing the hungering eyes of the fox he had created with Maxis.

"Maybe I can use him… but is it possible? He's already got minor control, but I still wonder…"

The doctor laughed to himself once again, wiping a small amount of sweat from his forehead as he wiped it off onto his coat. Taking the wheel, he drove away from the gas station, leaving a trail of dust behind as a sign slowly crawled into view.

"Mobotropolis: 100km"

I believe the next one will be much better, and longer for sure. It's kind of hard to write this, when I have so much of the story already planned out... I was practically rushing this one out. Hope it turned out decent atleast, and hope you're ready for the sequels.
