When we left off - Blaze and Silver were stranded in a broken down city battlefield, complete with zombies that they haven't found yet, and hidden survivors. Sonic and Amy were found, both injured in someway, Amy had a broken leg, and Sonic was delirious and unconscious.

Silver slowly picked himself off of the street, and looked towards Blaze, Sonic and Amy. He trudged over to them and smiled happily at the survivors.

"Good to see you're alive." He told them happily, ad he glanced back at Blaze. "Next time, try and alert me differently so that that doesn't happen again..." Silver rubbed his shoulder awkwardly, breathing heavily in the dense dust filled air.

Amy stood up trembling, and Blaze helped stabilize her. Silver bent over and picked up Sonic, who appeared to be drooling. Sonic' neckerchief was torn, and his gloves were dark grey, the color of soot. Silver noticed a small figure in the distance, and he furrowed his brow in confusion.

"Either I'm seeing things, or things are about to get dangerous." He told the group cautiously. "We still don't have a base, so we'll be carrying each other for a while."

Amy looked up at the sky scrapers, and then exclaimed, "Actually, you can use this tower as our base! It's high up, so the zombies will have problem getting to it, and I can guard the injured!" Her reason was logical, so Silver carried Sonic into the building, with Blaze and Amy trailing him. Luckily, the elevator was still working, so they went to the hundredth floor, and then climbed out a window, and over the side of the roof.

"Perfect!" Amy shouted excitedly. She looked at the flat area, and then back at the now soot colored hedgehogs and dark purple cat. "Now, if only I could have some sort of cloth, and this would all be the best base ever! Will you guys look out for some sort of sleeping bags or cloths that I could use for the injured' s beds and wrappings? I found a few small cloths earlier that I used to wrap my leg and Sonic' s head, but they're not very clean, and someone can easily puncture through." Blaze nodded, and then helped Silver lay Sonic down carefully on the cold roof floor.

Silver looked at Sonic' s grey bandages, and agreed. "Yeah. Will you two be okay alone?" He directed his gaze worriedly at Amy.

"Duh! I doubt any zombies will get up here, and I can easily kill them if they do!" She told him sternly. How could he underestimate her now of all times?

Blaze grabbed Silver's dusty glove, and jumped off the building. He had just enough time to use his grappling hook to stop his fall before they hit the ground. Blaze was a cat, so they shock was absorbed, but Silver hung in midair around 2 meters off the ground.

"Please. Do not do that again..." Silver pleaded the lilac feline. Blaze shrugged, and Silver declenched the trigger and landed with a thud. Silver scanned the area, and then used his telekinesis to lift Blaze a few meters off the ground in front of him. "I think we'll fly this time." He told her gently.

Blaze watched the still dirty hedgehog lift him and herself into the air, and then proceed to shoot themselves down the deserted street. Silver looked around apprehensively, and he noticed the same dark shape from earlier. It appeared to have some sort of spines attached to the back of its head, and he saw another figure emerge from behind it. The second figure shot something at them, and Silver watched a ninja star fly 2 centimeters past his face. Silver stopped himself and Blaze, and put themselves down gently.

The first figure moved a bit closer, and Silver saw red light gleam off the back of it, his, fur. The second figure seemed to recognize the two, and whispered something into the first' s ear.

"Hello?" Silver called out to the figures who he had guessed to be survivors. He watched the second figure approach cautiously, a silver blade held in front of himself as if he still didn't believe the two being alive. The first figure pulled a rifle out from behind his back, and he drew closer as well.

"Silver. Is that truly you?" The second figure asked. Silver swore he sounded just like, wait... If he was, that person, then the other one was...

"Espio? Shadow?!" Silver asked, not able to believe his eyes. Espio let his arms go limp, the katana he was holding pulled to his side. Shadow dropped his stance, and his gun was pushed downward.

"So it is you Silver. And by the look of it, you have Blaze with you." The purple chameleon drew himself out of the shadowy side of the street, with the red and black hedgehog following suit.

A/N - Aaaaaannnnndddd... More suspense! Yes, I do realize that I have made Shadow and Espio friends. It seemed like they had enough in common to be friends... Now, you all know from the first chapter that I do not own StH, so the following question will be a poll. Who do you think has the best chance of surviving on their own? The choices are, Shadow, Espio, Amy, Sonic, Silver, Blaze, Tails, Cream, Maria, Tikal, Charmy, Marine, Big, Sticks, Jet, or Wave. Yes, I do realize that Sticks is from Sonic Boom, but we've paired her with Big. Alright? Yes, we do realize that most of Team Rose do not meet Sticks, but we're pretending.
