Shadow the Hedgehog

Rouge delivered swift kicks to their heads when she could.

Rouge flew forward towards the small horde.

"Ok, let's rush them," whispered Rouge. ---- Zamy teleported off to her No Zone office.

Rouge crept ahead as well. --- "I see. I'll be here later then."

"I hear them up ahead." ---- "You what?"

"At least they're slow and stupid." ---- "I don't hang about. Ready to leave?"

"More shufflers I bet." --- Zamy smiled. "Great, see you then," she said before teleporting back to Haven. "Ok Miles, it's done."

Hope and her counterpart followed suit quickly afterwards, before joining Rouge in wandering through more of the cave. --- Zamy arrived in a hallway, and made her way to the break room, where Shadow and Rouge were sitting looking bored. "Slow day?" she asked. "Indeed. We can't even train as we have to wait for the results of a field evaluation," replied Shadow. "Sounds thrilling. In2 days I'm holding a party if you'd like to come?" Rouge nodded. "Sure. We could use the breqk from everyone trying to kill us."

The two Hopes kept an eye out at the back. ---- Zamy waved back before teleporting to GUN HQ.

"Agreed. Now come on through before more show up." --- "Exactly. Ok, I better go to the UF now. Be sure to give Crowley and the girls their invites."

"That would be rather unpleasant." ----- "You've no idea how much," laughed Zamy.

"Cannibals? Centuries ago there were a group not far from here. They were hunted down thankfully." ---- "I'm still not happy about it, but at least I'm far away."

"I don't think it was a child. No parent would send their children into this place." ---- "I'm feeling better thanks."

"Zombie. A particularly short one." --- "Please. That'd be helpful," said Zamy, handing them over.

"I had myself worried at first." ---- "No he's fine thankfully. If you want I can leave Crowley's invite with you if you'd want to give it to him."

Rouge was about halfway through the passage when she was suddenly grabbed and dragged through, the sounds of a struggle ending with a loud 'crack'. "That was a cheap trick," she said, poking her head through to show wveryone she was alright. ---- Zamy came in. "Hu Anna, would you like to come to a house warming party in a couple days?"

"I'll go. May as well earn my pay," said Rouge, starting to shimmy through the gap. --- Zamy knocked on Anna's door.

Hope stopped when the passage closed to a narrow gap. "I think we can squeeze through one at a time." ---- "Thanks, we'll be there," smiled Zunnie. Zamy smiled then headed off to find Anna.

"No sign of them yet. You see anything?" ---- Zamy arrived at the cells, handing Zunnie and Zark a card. "We're having a housewarming party in a couple days. It'd be great if you could come."

Hope moved forwards. "I'm not going to let a few ravenous zombies stop us." ---- "I'm glad to hear, thank you," she replied. "Don't forget to hand it to Ziona," she said to Miles before rushing off to the cells.

"Have a little faith." ---- Zamy turned round.

"But they'll be slower." --- "I get that Miles. I won't be long," she replied, looking to a sign to see where she needed to head

"Perhaps. Certainly smells dead." ----- Zamy sighed. "Very well. Give this to Ziona when you can," she said, handing Miles one of the cards.

"I can imagine. Ok, there's definitely something different up ahead. The smell is... more repulsive." --- Zamy stepped outside and turned to Miles. "Sorry you had to see that."
