A/N - I was inspired by a reviewer, Psych-chik, to give you all a chapter earlier than I imagined. Thank you SO much for the support!

When we last left off on Devastation, Silver and Blaze were brought to Espio and Shadow' s camp, where they were shocked to learn that Rouge, Tikal, Maria, and Knuckles were still alive. Most of them had some sort of injury however, and they need a medic or doctor to survive!

Silver gazed around the small camp, and looked up at the sky to see that it was already night-time. It would not be safe for them to return to their own camp now, and this one was safer, so he considered moving Amy and Sonic here. He looked to the east horizon, and saw a faint light emitting from a building. Silver then directed his gaze to Shadow, who was lighting a fire with a match.

"I don't know what your camp says, but zombies don't like fire. We only cook at night because of the safety factor." Shadow told him robotically, while moving a few sticks into a position that resembled a cube. Silver watched as Rouge moved over to the fire, and picked up what appeared to be a leaf. She turned it over, revealing a nest of small mice.

"Unfortunatly for Tikal and Maria, they haven't been able to keep anything down. So, we have to cook by ourselves, which only Rouge knows how to do." Espio told them sadly from his place by the edge of the woods. He crossed his legs and closed his eyes, and began meditating.

Blaze watched Rouge slowly pick up the mice, and lay them on the sticks horizontally. She knew what this was called; a spit fire. The mice had already been skinned, so they began roasting.

"Also, both Tikal and Maria are vegetarians, so we usually gather some berries for them." Espio added wearily, somehow retaining his inner peace in this harsh environment. Blaze took the time to examine their surroundings, unable to find the bushes in question.

"I don't think the bushes are near here." Explained Silver, who had been watching the way Rouge turned the mice over on the spit. Blaze suddenly knew that this would be the best place for their base, even if the way here was a bit tightly packed. Zombies would have a difficult time getting here.

Amy looked down the tall side of the skyscraper and shivered, knowing that if she were to fall, she would be smashed into a pulp by impact alone. She turned on her heels and limped back over to the unconscious Sonic, who lay in one of the cloths she had brought.

Sonic slowly cracked his eyes open, and saw, to his joy, that there was at least one survivor; the rose pink hedgehog. He smiled and opened his mouth, only to find that it wouldn't open. He continued to strain and fight, but he appeared to be paralyzed.

'Something's wrong..." He thought, and he directed his vision back to the pink hedgehog, who had begun singing.

Use to bite my tongue and hold my breath,

Scared to rock the boat and make a mess,

So I stood there quietly,

Agreed politely,

I think that I forgot I had a choice,

I let you push me past the breaking point,

I stood for nothing,

So I fell for everything,

You held me down, but I got up,

Get ready 'cause I've had enough,

I've seen it all, I see it now,

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter,

Dancing through the fire,

Cause I am a champion,

And you're gonna hear me,

Roar.

Sonic had heard her sing before, but she knew she was being watched then, and now, without knowing she was watched, she sounded beautiful. After the first verse, she began humming as she rummaged through her sidebag. Sonic strained to push himself over so that he could see, but he his efforts were fruitless. He heard her rustle through the bag, and she shouted, "Ah ha!"

Amy turned around to Sonic, and notices that he was shivering. 'Maybe he's cold?" She told herself as she turned around again and grabbed another cloth. She spun on her good foot and hobbled back to lay the cloth over Sonic' s paralyzed body.

She lay herself down right next to him, and covered herself with the remaining cloth, and closed her eyes. He dreams were haunted with zombies, and she kept her hammer at the ready, just in case.
