The Walking Dead (Sonic the Hedgehog Style)

Chapter 1: The Beginning of the End

Sonic sat in his soft chair as he was watching a really good TV show. It was late at night, probably around midnight. The lights were turned off, so the only source of light was the light emitting from the moving images on the TV. Sonic was enjoying his show. But soon, his eyes became weak. He was tired. But he wanted to stay awake. But, he slowly closed his eyes. 'Just for a few minutes while the commercials tun. I'll just rest my eyes' he though. But, he fell asleep. As he drifted into dreamland, he faintly heard car crashes and all that. 'Probably just my imagination' Sonic thought.

Suddenly, Sonic heard a scream. He woke up,  He ran to the window and saw a woman laying on the ground, a man eating her guts out. Sonic covered his mouth, trying not to throw up. He ran to his home phone and dialed in 911. He waited for them to pick up, but they didn't pick up. Sonic put his home phone down and looked out the window again. The woman who screamed was on the ground, blood scattered all over and her guts ripped and eaten. 

But strange enough, she got up. Her skin was suddenly pale and looked burned. She had glowing eyes and limped her way down the street. Sonic looked to the right of the window and saw more people, that looked just like that woman limping down the street. Sonic had no idea what was happening. He suddenly heard his TV, which was still on, blurt out, "Breaking News!" Sonic tuned his attention to his TV. A suited man with an earpiece was sitting on a desk.

"Breaking News! Scientists at S4L, Science for Life, have made a new 'potion' to bring the dead back to life. But someone has changed and messed around with this 'potion' causing the dead to come back...as zombies. That's right ZOMBIES! We encourage that if you are still alive, you stay indoors and have anything to defend yourself with. The military will be coming soon. we advise that if you manage to survive until the military come, you go with them. This is because once the military have collected all survivors, they will bomb North America. Al-" 

A zombie suddenly jumped onto the news reporter and ate him. The whole TV screen soon only had static. Sonic looked out the window, scared. he covered the windows with curtains and grabbed a machete that he kept in a drawer, just to be safe. Sonic tried to hide out in his house. But he knew he couldn't manage to survive on his own. He had to find Tails. He had to find everyone.

He decided to do what was probably the stupidest thing ever. He was going out there and making a run for it. He walked to his door and placed his hand on the doorknob. He took a deep breath. he opened the door. All the zombies looked at him. They started going for him. Sonic approached them with his machete. He stabbed one in the abdomen. He sliced one's head off. He stabbed one in the eye. He stabbed one deep in the throat. It was pretty brutal and disgusting. Not to mention bloody and gory. Sonic had never killed anyone before, and he was scared to kill someone. But he knew these weren't people anymore. They were...zombies.

Sonic continued his slaughter. He sliced one's head off, but it wasn't from the neck up. It was form the nose up. Sonic was covered in blood. It felt disturbing and he didn't like it. Sonic ignored the other zombies because they seemed like someone already took care of them. He was now downtown. There were more zombies than ever. Sonic hid in an alley. This time instead of going for it like a psycho, he decided to sneak past them. He looked at one side of the alley, the more vulnerable side. He walked backwards, deeper into the alley. He was suddenly knocked down by a zombie.

He tried to hide his scream. He accidentally dropped his machete. The zombie crawled on top of him, trying to eat him alive. Sonic fought back. He tried pushing the zombie off, but it stayed on. As Sonic fought back, he looked at his machete. So far away. Sonic finally realized that the zombie on him was close to getting him. Sonic struggled to fight back. He was too tired...but this was for survival! He pushed the zombie off of him and grabbed his machete. He went for the zombie, but that zombie grabbed Sonic's leg and Sonic fell down. This time, Sonic made sure he didn't lose the grip on his machete. Sonic crawled back, not wanting to be grabbed again. The zombie crawled on him again. 

Sonic's arms began to feel like jelly. He couldn't hold the zombie off for one more second, but he pushed himself to. He pushed the zombie off of him again and he immediately went for the attack.  He stabbed it right in the head. It stopped moving, but Sonic swore he heard it breathing. He stabbed it again, and again. Finally, the zombie was dead. Sonic panted heavily. He checked himself for any bites or scratches. Nope, none. 

Sonic continued his way deeper into the alley. He walked past a few garbage cans. He was walking past an open dumpster when his foot was suddenly grabbed. Sonic's machete flew into the dumpster, where he couldn't get it for help. Sonic fell on his stomach. He rolled over and saw a zombie crawling to him, coming from under the dumpster. Sonic backed away. He didn't have a weapon to defend himself with. He was so dead. He backed up into something. Odd, it wasn't a wall. Sonic looked up and it was a zombie! Sonic jumped to his feet and backed up into a wall. 

A dead end! 'This is it' Sonic though. "Goodbye world" he said to himself. 

Suddenly, the two zombies dropped dead on the ground. Sonic heard gunshots. he suddenly saw three hedgehogs with guns come up to him. One of them pointed a gun at him. "Who are you?" he asked, in his deep, coarse voice. "Relax Jim" another hedgehog said. The hedgehog put his gun down. Sonic was speechless. "Are you bit?" the hedgehog asked Sonic. Sonic nodded. "Okay then. C'mon with us!" he said. He threw Sonic a gun. An AK-47. The three hedgehogs ran out of the alley. Sonic followed them.
