A/N - So, I've got a bit of a problem with our recently created forum... no one is actually playing with us. I know you might not like our pairings, so I've made it so that everyone can run through their pairings with us, and we can judge them. The only exceptions will be Tailosmo, and Sonaze, which we totally hate, and will never ever use. Anyway, to the story!
When we left off on Devastation... We learned how Shadow and Espio' s camp cooks food, and met up with Sonic and Amy, the first of which finally woke up to realize that he was mostly paralyzed.
Silver woke up to a loud bang of a gun, and saw the spiral of smoke curling upwards from Shadow' s gun. A small zombie with a large balloon attatched to his back fell from the sky, and a painful sounding thump was heard as it hit the forest ground with a large amount of force. Several of the camp members groaned and woke up, only to see that it was midnight, and a zombie now lay dead at Shadow' s feet. Silver shook his head slowly and went back to sleep.
Espio slowly opened his eyes, adjusting them to the cold, blue moonlight. He looked over at Shadow, who had been on guard duty that night, to see the first of many lying at his feet. Sighing, Espio stood from his meditation spot, and grabbed a katana. He sluggishly dragged himself to his friend's kill and turned it over, checking for any useful items on the body. Nothing was found on the undead creature, and Espio stood again.
Espio looked to the sky, only to sigh at the sight of many more of their kill' s friends headed towards them. The bad thing about being on the ground was the 'flying' zombies, usually ones with balloons, although some had been spotted with 'wings' or some sort of airborne transportation. He saw Shadow do the same, and he reloaded a pistol. It must've taken more than one bullet to hit the balloon, and it looked like Shadow had shot the body as well.
Espio was silent, as he knew that one word would alert the zombies to their location. The smoke was barely visible in the dark, and zombies can't see well anyway, so they were safe as long as they didn't make too much noise. The zombies did, however, have excellent hearing. It came from having almost no flesh to block the sound waves from their ears.
Espio sighed again, and pulled out a few ninja stars. This ought to be a long night...
A yellow fox hid in a bush, of course, his pursued went on, not noticing the vulpine in the bush. It, the fox, stepped back into the open, broken street, and continued on, without the worry of 27 zombies (it had counted) chasing it. It was a he, and that he just happened to be Sonic' s two-tailed companion and sidekick, Miles 'Tails' Prower. Tails continued running, always alert for more zombie action. He noticed a bit of movement at the top of a tall skyscraper, for he had excellent night, and long distance vision. There appeared to be two figures on the building, and he directed his movement towards it. Maybe another couple of mobians had survived?
When Tails arrived at the building, he realized that it was 100 stories tall. By then he had remembered his mutation, and began twisting his namesakes around, and within 5 minutes, he had reached the roof. He lowered himself behind a pipe, and listened to the conversation. It appeared to be a monologue, and the voice appeared to be from one of his friends... Amy. He glanced over the pipe at the pink hedgehog, and noticed the blue member of the same species right behind her.
Tails ducked back down as he heard a bit of shuffling, and only peeped back up when he heard a bit of snoring. His curiosity got the better of him as he moved closer, eventually circling the pair. He was quick to notice that Sonic' s eyes were not actually closed. He hid his shock with an unwavering mask of nothing, and hurried off, jumping from building to building, and using his tails to keep him above the cement of the street.
Cream grabbed a few medical tools, and peeled outside the building. Her friends who she had been unable to help we're gone now, taken by friends that she hoped would care for them well. She knew she had medicines to get rid of those welts, but she didn't know where they were now. All she could do was hope, and stay on the roof, where she had set up her little medical camp. The people that she had been assigned to healing had died before she could get to them, but she knew that someone would come and help her.
Cream did not know how to defend herself, so she had several of the medic chaos surrounding her sleeping tent. She was awoken by a medic chao repeatedly calling for her.
"Chao! Chaaaaooooo!" It yelled to the sleeping rabbit. Cream stood and stretched before hurrying outside to see what was wrong. To her surprise, it was a figure, one that she had seen before.
A/N - And... Cliffhanger! I really needed to get Tails and Cream into the story, and what better way than by giving them their own section? Yeah, yeah, ok, whoever guesses who the figure that Cream sees gets mentioned in the next chapter. Use the review button people! It's right below the last sentence of this story! Come on, review!
