Shadow the Hedgehog

Shadow opened the door, ran forward a few paces and fired his rifle grenade into the lab door, which flew back into the room. As the smoke settled, the werehogs ran out and Shadow retreated to the locker room. "Shut the door" he shouted. "We'll move as soon as they pass."

The Organ Trail? I don't want to die of dysentery.

Zombies could be fun.

A new RPM sounds good. But about what?

"Killing the werehogs? No that was never my intention. I plan to blow the door off the lab so they attack the DEL. Only guy I'm killing is that rat who locked me in there. Or I might let the werehogs do it."

"Hmph. Fine. Just get ready to shut this door ok? I'm gonna blow the lab door to give those werehogs some running space. Should be fun."

"I hate to burst your bubble, but the only way they'll ever stop is if we make them. Some people you just can't reach."

"You sure you want to be here Locke?" Shadow asked as he prepped his rifle to use the grenade. "Things will get real messy pretty soon. Besides, you have kids to look after. Me not so much. I won't hold it against you."

Those are some spiffy outfits they have there. But they won't keep me from winning.

Shadow switched his radio back on. "Never a dull moment it seems. Zone cops, you say? Those useless hacks couldn't stop a daylight robbery in their favourite doughnut shop. Regardless, what's the plan for stopping the DEL?"

"So that's where you went. I nearly got eaten alive back there. That's you two, where's Crowley?" *I'm right here.* Shadow spun around to see Crowley standing there. "You really like to sneak up on people, don't you? Ok, anything important happen while I was.... preoccupied?"

"Thanks." Shadow then crawled out of the grate. "Long story short, we found a room full of people with the curse. DEL were doing experiments most likely. When Locke teleported away, the guy we used to get in ran off n locked the door. Everyone started turning, and I had to make a quick exit. Wait.... is that Tails?"

Shadow managed to fit into the duct just as the werehogs broke free. As he crawled as far as possible, he knew his options were limited. He could either continue crawling through the duct until he reached another room, or blast his way out of the room with the rifle grenades he brought along. Seeing as the werehogs blocked his shot of the door, and Dylan would be mad as hell if he killed any of his people, he decided to keep crawling. Eventually he came to the room with Dylan and Tails in it. "Hey Dylan. How's it going? Mind giving me a hand?" he said from behind the grate.

That's an..... interesting dance routine they got there.

Completely unaware of the conversation at hand, Shadow aimed at the closest werehog as he saw its restraints begin to strain, then calmly flicked the selector switch from Safe to Auto using his thumb. Not knowing how many shots it would take for Locke's rifle to put it to sleep, he fired a 3 round burst innto it, the third shot taking care of it. Aa he took his finger off of the trigger, he saw the worker, who had been edging towards the door, run out of it and lock it behind him. Realising he was now trapped in a room with a group of soon to be free werehogs, he began to frantically bash the vent off an air duct with the butt of his rifle.

Probably dodgy fan characters. If so Tails did us all a great service.

(OOC I agree with Locke, it would redeem him).

Odd. Show up now?

Haha poor Knuckles.

Amy is not amused.

Guten Tag!

"Great. Now I have to do this all by myself." muttered Shadow. He had turned his radio down when Crowley started to interrogate the prisoner. He didn't need thst distraction. As he continued flicking through the pages of the file on the dead werehog, some of the 'patients' in the room began violently convulsing as they transformed. Shadow readied his rifle and hoped the restraints would hold.

(OOC Sorry I took so long guys, finding a way to calm someone who's freaking out is rather difficult for someone with no experience of it. Here goes my attempt). Crowley put his hand under her chin and gently pushed her head up, meeting her gaze. *Listen to me Red. Just listen to my voice. I won't lie the situation looks bleak, but I promise you nothing will befall you or the children. We will fix this. Trust me. It's going to be ok. It might take some time, but it's going to be alright.* He then pulled her into an embrace, feeling her sob into his shoulder. He had never seen her this distraught in all their time together, but knew there was little he could to be of comfort in this environment. With that, he teleported the both of them outside of the base, to the top of a cliff with the moon in full view. He knew how dangerous it was outside, so deliberately picked a high point where they would be undisturbed. As they both stood there in the cool night air, he hoped it would help her calm down. She had always enjoyed the serenity of a calm night (OOC I figured being stuck underground in a locker room wouldn't help matters. My plan is to teleport them back down when Red has calmed down).

Crowley put his arm around Red and attempted to comfort her. *Don't worry. They won't do anything to you. I won't let it happen. I can't let it happen.*

Crowley got up off of Tails. *Very well.*
