STRANDED [ON HOLD]

Rinse & Repeat

"Alright, ladies and gentleman, as gentlemanly you are and aren't, welcome to gun training with Shadow, the ultimate life form, hedgehog. How many of you have shot a gun before?" He asks. Amy, Rouge, Blaze, Knuckles, Silver and Cream raise their hands. He scans the area with his finger and says something about each of them. "Rose, I swear there's something new I learn about you every day. I knew that one, doesn't surprise me, I don't know if I trust you with a gun, same with this one, and that's terrifying." They put down their hands and the others look around, surprised with some of their hands being up. "Okay, those who haven't shot a gun before, stand over to the side with me. Who has only shot a gun once?" Only Cream raises her hand. "Oh yeah, I remember that now." He admits, avoiding all eye contact with Vanilla as he moves her aside to the other group.

"Now, for the rest of you, I will be handing you each a gun, safety glasses, and some ammo. There are targets on the wall. Please hit the targets and not the wall, Tails will end me if there is a lot of damage to the wall." Tails nods at the statement. Shadow places a gun and a pair of safety glasses in each of their hands and motions each of them to their spot in the range area. Rouge hits the bullseye on almost every shot with her pistol, Knuckles only misses two of the bullseye shots, Silver manages to clip the corner of the target on three out of five shots, but seemingly has the hang of it, or is confused but has the spirit, Blaze gets pissed and throws fire at the target, to which Shadow shakes his head at, finally Amy's shots aren't as up to par as she remembers. "Now I see." Shadow mutters before he walks over to Amy.

    "My father and grandfather were in the Möbian military, that's why I've shot a gun a couple of times before, but I haven't in a while." Amy sighs and notices how much recoil as well as a high knock back the gun she is holding has. Shadow wraps his hand around the gun before taking it out of her grasp and shooting three bullseyes in a row.

    "Okay, I see the problem here." He hands her the gun and wraps his arms around her so they are both holding the gun. He tilts up the gun a little so the barrel is in a better aiming position. He pulls the trigger and shoots a bullseye and she gasps. He lets her go, she keeps the same position and hits a bullseye and smiles, places the gun down and hugs him while jumping.

    "Thank you, thank you!" She laughs.

    He shakes his head, hugs back, and gives a very slight side smile. "You're welcome, Rose." He says. He feels two eyeballs staring at him in the back of him, nearly putting a hole in his head. He doesn't turn back, just smirks a bit and shakes his head before letting go. He walks up to the other group and smirks. "Well, you've all seen how this group does it, would you like to give it a shot?" Hesitantly, Sticks walks up to the gun range area. Not because she's afraid, no, she knows the government lets their policemen use this equipment and she doesn't want to be turned to the government side of life. Vanilla follows her, willing to learn anything to protect Cream and Charmy follows suit in order to learn a new skill.

    "I'm nervous." Charmy admits to Shadow, who helps him out.

Everyone learns how to shoot the guns in this process and Tails smiles at Shadow helping everyone out. Shadow's very valuable for the team's success in being able to defeat any pack of zombies in their way. They all take a break and Shadow has taken notes in a notepad that Tails didn't even tell him to keep. He starts to finalize them, and has something written about each of them on it.

Rouge: already knew how she could shoot, has to work on close range
Silver: confused, but good with close range
Knuckles: reaction time is kind of slow, but good with close range
Cream: not good with guns, but if necessary good with an aerial view
Tails: same with Cream, usually has an invention to shoot with anyways
Blaze: great sniper, gets frustrated with close range
Rose: the farther the range, better she can shoot
Faker: same as Rose
Charmy: same as Tails and Cream, but decent with far range, yet not sniping
Vector: close range. That's it.
Vanilla: far range, no sniping.
Espio: close range with his invisibility powers works well
Sticks: close range, has to work on far range but it isn't bad.
