ERMERGERD So sorry that I'm 2 hours late but... Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year everybody! Hope everything's been well and I bet you're all happy with your presents. (As like I)

Anyway yeah sorry for being a couple hours late but I had to go to a little family reunion which didn't allow me enough time to finish ON TIME.

Now enough of me, let's get to the details of the story.

SOO! I must give a little warning that the chapter is a little, how would say, dark. SOOOOO There's quite bit more blood than usually said... okay a lot more blood then usually said so yes someone officially dies a gruesome death. (Not any major characters so don't worry)

Reason for said blood shed is that... I couldn't really find any way around it but trust me when I say this, it was HARD to write said part DX

It was SO hard that I had to get helpsies from a friend! (You know who you are)

*Whispers* He's more of a dark writer when it comes to stories. (AND DON'T FIGHT WITH ME ON THAT BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE!)

ANYWAY! For those who don't want to really read that bad part I'll give a little warning.

Now backs to the regular stuffs!

Characters (Except for Jo-Cher and Twilight) are mines!

Enjoys! (I've beens putting s-es at the ends of words lately XP)

"Great… I can't see!" Twilight exclaimed as she squinted her eyes.

They rushed into the corridor that was behind the door but ended up getting surrounded with darkness.

"Well that's a shame." Surf replied to her situation. The blue bird on his shoulder didn't do much of anything besides chirping randomly.

Twilight felt a gentle wind fly past her meaning that Surf went ahead.

"And where do you think you're doing?" She whispered, trying to keep quiet in fear that other guards were nearby.

"Finding the way out with my night vision." Surf put emphasis on the words "night vision".

Twilight growled in her throat from his gloat.

Surf laughed at her annoyance and trek his way through the darkness with Twilight blindly following.

In Surf's slimy vision he saw another, bigger, metal door which he stopped and looked up at. Twilight didn't see him stop and ended up walking into the door.

"Give a gal a warning next time, will ya?!" Twilight demanded as she rubbed her nose.

"Well excuuuuuussse me, princess!"

"What did I hit anyway?" She got up and patted the door she bumped into.

"A metal door…" Surf said plainly.

"Thought it felt metal-y." She mumbled to herself.

Surf rolled his eyes and looked to his right to see a number pad.

"AWW! I hate having to figure out passwords…" Surf complained as he looked down angrily at the numbers. The blue bird randomly chirped again.

"Well maybe we don't have to!"

"And how do you suppose we open the door then?" Surf raised a brow.

…

"Where's that little number pad?"

Surf pulled on her scythe and got her in front of the pad. She felt around on the wall until she touched the buttons on the pad; she then walked back a bit.

Surf had no idea on what she was planning to do, that was until she threw her scythe into the air and slammed the blade onto the number pad, ripping it from the wall. Sparks flew from disconnected wires as there was a couple of beeping sounds before the big metal door slowly slid open.

The she wolf finally could see as some light lit the area.

"Next best thing when you don't know the password." She stated as she swirled her scythe around.

Surf only gave her a face of worry as he turned off his night vision. They both went to the door and peeped to the sides to see if there were any guards.

The hallway was of an octagon shape and was quite dark despite the huge lights on the ceiling. The hallway's paint on the walls and ceiling were chipping off and revealed the old, water damaged wood that was behind it all. Water dripped from the ceiling and water puddles were scattered all over the place.

"Wow… I don't know how the people handle the conditions here." Surf had a disgusted look on his face as he watched water drops fall. Suddenly the blue bird fluttered off of Surf's shoulder and flew off to the right of the eerie corridor.

"Come back blue bird!" Surf chased after it hopelessly as it disappeared.

Twilight completely ignored the fact that the blue bird flew away and mumbled to herself.

"What a dump…" Twilight hopped into the hallway and checked to the left and right one more time before randomly headed left.

"What are you doing?!" Surf whispered as he silently chased after her.

"Trying to find a way out… what else?" Twilight answered.

"So you're going to walk aimlessly with a chance of being spotted by guards and you expect to find a way out?"

…

"Yes." She replied.

Surf face palmed at her logic.

Surf couldn't really do anything to change her mind and he preferred not to go alone due to the fact that most of his mechanics are disabled momentarily, so he followed despite the fact that he wanted to go find his bird friend.

They walked for a while in the dark corridor, Surf slipped in a few puddles of water of which Twilight avoided all together. Twilight didn't laugh when he did since she was in a completely serious mode and was cautious of her surroundings. She heard a clank sound coming from a lead off corridor that was coming up from the left. She almost threw her scythe into the darkness of the other hallway but decided it was best not to do so.

"Maybe it was a rat. I wouldn't be surprised if it was." Surf suggested as he looked around in disgust again.

"You can never be too careful… why don't you stay here, just in case." Surf was about to argue with her on that but she didn't let him have enough time to say much of anything as she ran into the darkness.

Surf frowned and only watched as to where she disappeared, not aware that someone was coming up from behind…

Surf gagged as suddenly someone locked him in a choke hold, quickly making it impossible to breathe.

Gets a littles bloody heres o-o

Surf panicked and started clawing at the arm of his attacker. He felt a warm liquid coming down his shoulder before the attacker let him go in a roar. Out of instinct, Surf lashed out at his attacker with his knife fingers without mercy. Without even realizing it, he shredded the attacker's throat instantly and quickly. Surf stopped as soon as he felt more warm liquid splattering onto himself and looked since he had his eyes closed this whole time.

It was a cheetah agent. He had his hands around his neck but between the small crevices of his fingers blood squirted out and blood water fall-ed out of his mouth. His glasses were knocked off from Surf's flailing which allowed the stunned porcupine to see the shock in the cheetah's eyes. He fell to his knees after a short moment and gurgled before he slumped to the ground to never move again.

Surf watched in horror of what he had just done, he looked at his mechanical with wide eyes as blood of the cheetah dripped off in the same tempo of the dripping water of the hallway.

Nu mores :D

Twilight came back in a rush, after hearing the commotion, but stopped once she saw Surf still watching his hand. She looked down at his feet and saw the corpse of a cheetah.

She walked up to Surf, who was still in shock of what he did, slowly.

"Are you okay, Surf?" She asked worryingly.

His eye twitched.

She was getting increasingly worried and looked down at the cheetah again. The blood puddle around the body was getting close to them and grew larger by the second.

"Surf?..." She poked his shoulder.

"I KILLED HIM!" Twilight jumped a couple feet back from his outburst.

"I killed him…" Surf repeated except this time he started crying.

"But wasn't he killing you?"

"I don't care if he was choking me to death! I don't believe in this kind of stuff dang it!" He wailed.

Twilight became annoyed from his crying so she walked up to him again and slapped him with a big SMACK sound. She grabbed his shoulders after doing so.

"SNAP OUT OF IT! You did what you had to do to LIVE!" She yelled at him.

Surf coward and flattened his ears as he had puppy eyes. (Pwuppy eyes :D)

"But…"

"No, butts are for sitting! Now stop your crying and be a MAN!" She shoved him and made him fall on his butt.
He looked up to her with bigger puppy eyes as she put her hands on her hips and glared down at him.

"He could've had a family though…" He eyed the cheetah's body.

"But don't you have a family to get to?" She countered.

…

Surf thought back to when his mother was hysteric and cried her eyes out. He couldn't imagine how depressed she could become if he died again.

"Yes…" He answered quietly.

"Now what's first priority, your family or his?" She pointed to the deceased cheetah.

Surf jumped up with a determined face.

"Mine."

"Then let's get out of here!" She put her scythe in the air and started running in the original direction before all this happened.

Surf suddenly became a Viking and "HUZZAH"ed as he ran off following with new determination to return to his family.

Twilight and Surf kept a running pace for quite some time until Twilight came up to another door. This one was also metal and smaller than the second door but had thick metal bars to reinforce it.

"Seems like we're going to have to find another way aro- CRAP!" Twilight threw herself to her left as Surf came charging through with a battle cry. Twilight heard the sound of something slamming against metal but then there was the sound of metal strained and ripped. She slowly got herself up and looked to where the door WAS. There was now a huge hole in the wall with metal and the bars spiked to the opposite of where Surf charged through and speaking of him, he was nowhere in sight.

"Surf?! Surf, where are you?!" She whisper yelled as she carefully got through the sharp metal.

There was no answer.

The area she arrived in was much nicer in condition as well as brighter. It was still the octagon shape but the paint was of a light blue on the upper half of the octagon shape and white on the bottom half.

'I guess that yelling really got to him…' She thought to herself as she was careful of the lead of hallways.

After passing about four lead offs, she was coming up to another when tiger and cheetah agents were thrown and ended up crashing against the wall. Shooting started taking place but she only heard the sound of roars from big cats in pain. Once she was sure that the agents piled against the wall were officially knocked out cold, she peeped through the side of the wall to see what could ever be causing this much mayhem.

Her eyes widened seeing Surf circled by agents shooting at him but no good came from that as Surf deflected them with long versions of his quills. The agent numbers depleted quickly but as soon as only five tigers were left from about thirty cheetah and tigers, they decided it was best to stop shooting.

Surf got into a stance that let him be ready to slice anything that got near. The two tigers that were behind thought that they had the upper hand for they THOUGHT that they were in a blind spot however, they were wrong as Surf was well aware of them. They charged the one on the left planned to sucker punch him as the one on the right planned to jab him in the stomach. Surf eyed them on the last second and twirled around with his Katana like quills, cutting the cheek of the sucker punch agent and kicked him in the jaw; no doubt breaking it in the process.

Once the agent was kicked out of the way, Surf jumped away from the jabber and threw one of his quills. The tiger tried to dodge it but the quill caught his suit and stuck him to the wall like a painting. Surf threw his other quill on the other side of the suit to ensure that he was no longer a problem.

The other three decided to take action and jumped up in the air as they took their guns out again, thinking it was safe to shoot again. They started shooting but missed as Surf ran around the bullets and started sliding as he took his own gun out. Suddenly in knowledge of using a gun he shot the three out of the air. They landed with deafening thuds followed by moans of pain.

"Ha! Nice try!" Surf blew at the tip of his gun and put it away.
"Didn't think you had it in ya since you cried like a baby earlier." Twilight came out from hiding.

"Eh, people change." Surf shrugged as he looked over his shoulder.

"Well you sure did change drastically…"

Surf didn't have anything to say after that but had something land on his head. He looked up to see the blue bird was looking down at him.

"And where the heck have you been?" Surf put his finger up for the bird to perch on. It hopped on happily with lots of tweets.

"You never seem to be "sad", how so?" Surf said not expecting to hear an answer.

"Sometimes things never get answered, Surf." Surf was immediately in shock from the voice he just heard.

Twilight heard the voice too but managed to see the expression on Surf's face. She didn't understand why he seemed so stunned.

They both turned around to a hedgehog sitting on the piled up agents against the wall. The hedgehog was twirling a butterfly knife around her fingers swiftly and carefully. Said hedgehog had a creepy smile that went ear to ear on her face.

I'd rather not have a whole 'nother section on the bad part so I'll skip my rambling on that.

Anyway so I bet you all know who the hedgehog is since I kind of made it obvious XP (When I tried not to DX)

Seems like Surf got new determination to get back to his family which is GREAT! On the contrast it isn't so great for the people who will get in the ways.

And what's with that bird? Is there really a purpose for it? or is it some random thing that I just RANDOMLY put into the story... meh you'll find out soons enough. :P

Hoped yous enjoys! Cya laterrs
