It Is Spreading (Open)

[jill]

Jill had been doing some strange things lately, she had been out on the road for a while. She was trying to find her friend Chris, she didn't even know if his sister Claire was ok. Jill had heard over secured channels, that another Virus was going to be dumped into the water supply. Of course this worried her, she refused to let it happen all over again. She had been driving for hours, and finally once she was in the city she pulled over. The streets were silent, and that worried her. Maybe it was just her mind playing tricks, she walked into a diner and her eyes looked over every inch of her surroundings. She took out a gun and slowly looked around.

Hearing something, the sound startled her. She had turned around right on the ball of her heel. She made sure the safety was off, she went into the back and stayed in the darkness. Then she heard another sound, she rushed up and noticed someone dead. But it wasn't from a zombie. She knelt down and checked the body, she didn't know what to expect. The man was the manager, she knew this wasn't good. She stood up and heard someone leave the diner, she followed, but she was to late. She sighed some. She went back inside and grabbed something to eat. She normally would never do this, but she needed something in her stomach.

She called for backup, but something told her. They may not come, she was here for possible zombies not a human killer.

Grumbling under his breath as he walked out of a store that once sold computer repair stuff with two shopping bags full of the stuff. What a great time for his tech pack to go on the fritz! He could of sworn he heard a car or something driving off but maybe it was his imagination since when he went outside to check it out, no such luck. It would of been great to take someone's ride away but a couple glances around told him to give up, nothing was here. This place was one of the safer areas he stumbled on buuuut how long was that gonna last? Not something he could really calculate since it seemed like the entrance's guards were on the ground bleeding. Oh crap on a cracker, that couldn't be good!

Taking a big gulp as his blank white, dot-like eyes seemed to widen ever so slightly as he got a few steps closer..."B-bullet wounds? W-what kinda barf-brain's dumb enough ta kill off the p-pit sniffing good guys when there's zombies all over the place?!" Mumbling those clearly worrisome words in an annoyed fashion following a soft grunt, it was just annoying that some survivors were complete idiots! Even Mammoth wasn't stupid enough to pull something like this...and he wasn't the brightest crayon either. Well, good thing out of this is he could take their equipment and use it later. Not like they could use it, they were dead and far from being able to move again! In fact, the graduated HIVE academy student would be doing the world a favor, what if the zombies started learning how to use guns?

Ok, creepy thought, maybe he should work on getting something to eat and get to work on making his pack function better rather than standing out in the open? Yeeaaah...definitely. One thing he noted on the way in this place was a diner that still had some stuff left. Didn't seem like a whole bunch of people made it this far so he was in luck! Using his little legs to get him over to the diner while looking around to make sure nothing begging for brains in moans and groans was following him every so often on the way. Worst case of paranoia EVER, justified but still...he wouldn't say it out loud but he REALLY missed his team right about now. Including that traitorous pink haired witch who had a knack for causing bad luck was a person he'd be extremely happy to see again. Pushing open the door with his foot before scampering on in as quickly as he possibly could, complete with a little puff of dust at his feet.

Letting out a heavy sigh of relief closing his eyes for a moment, but when he reopened them he saw...a...pair of legs? Tilting his head up a bit, that's when the kid wearing a green body suit and pair of goggles felt his eyes widen upon the sight of a gun. Crud crud crud DOUBLE CRUD! Play it cool, that was the smart thing to do...but a sense of panic washed over him as he pointed over to her obnoxiously blurting out "Who the the hairball are you, lady?!" ...ok not exactly what he had in mind...

Doctor Ivo Robotnik listened to the quiet hum of his affectionately named 'Egg-o-matic' Hovercraft. It was really all to listen to in this deserted section of...where was he? Some densely populated city on this planet, if the sensor readings from the ship were to be any indication. Still...it seemed deserted. At least the parts he had seen so far. No people. Merely corpses.

"Zombies! This city is infested with zombies!"

Earlier, Robotnik could hardly contain his rage when his teleporter device malfunctioned and sent him in the middle of the infected zone, who knows how far away from the ship's crash-site. However, he had plenty of bodies to take it out on, and he had been recovering his nerve as time went on...even if his E-GG Bots had to suffer for it.

Poor poor E-GG bots. Originally there were five E-GG bots that teleported with him. Now there were two. Two were turned to scrap in Robotnik's originally fit, another was torn apart by a creature with an oddly long tongue... Robotnik never did kill the creature afterwords...it might become a problem later. Still, Robotnik was slightly pleased to see the corpses were reminiscent of humans- no more talking rodents, rabbits, and hedgehogs for him.

"B-bullet wounds? W-what kinda barf-brain's dumb enough ta kill off the p-pit sniffing good guys when there's zombies all over the place?!"

Robotnik had heard a voice from not too far away. Curious...perhaps there were some people left alive in this forsaken excuse for a town. Ivo floated up high enough to see a bald boy and a woman with red hair just within sight of one another. Brilliant.

He smiled wide, and his white teeth glistened in the moonlight. The doctor let out a low and quite chuckle as he lowered himself to the ground. Ivo jerked his head, signaling the E-GG Bots to active their Rocket Booster, each carefully implanted in their legs, and as silent as Robotnik's own hovercraft. Slowly, the floated over to the commotion, where he could get a better look at the human, YES!, human people. How lovely. He let himself down just behind the Bald Boy, and spoke up in his raspy voice.

"My dear boy, I was just about to ask the exact same thing. Brilliant timing."

Jill had a very bad day today, first she is on the run trying to find Chris. And then here she was, luckily she hasn't found any zombies. She passed some dead people. She saw missing limbs, blood. It was bad. Her heart was pounding heavily, she was ready to shoot if she had to. She could hear her heart, beating a mile a minute. All of a sudden, there were two guys there, she lowered her arm and sighed sadly, thankfully she was ready for anything. Soon she heard a voice, seeing two people. She sighed a bit, walking over to them.

"Who are you two?" She asked with a smile.

[Gizmo]

Clenching his little hands into fists he grit his teeth feeling the corner of his mouth twitch. Flailing his arms up and down, he wanted an answer and he wanted it now! But before he could bark out any demands, it sounded like something was...behind him? No no more like someone, an old someone judging by their voice. Almost like...Brother Blood, but not quite. Feeling the chills up his spine remembering the time when he was brainwashed with that new head master he hoped to NEVER see again. Sure he wouldn't blurt that chunk of his thoughts out loud in this or any life time, but the little genius dropped his hands to his sides and turned around before looking upward with wide, white eyes.

This guy was HUGE! In both the tall and fat sense, plus from what he could see, this guy was an inventor too. Either he was going to have another rival or an ally of some sort, there was no in between when it came to alliances! At least not to this particular green clad midget. Slightly opening his hands enough for the shopping bags of stuff he scrapped from the store at his sides in sheer shock. Taking a gulp, he shook off that slight worry that this guy might of been his old headmaster considering he obviously wasn't. "Who the crud are you?! It doesn't look like you're one of the scuzz buffing pit sniffing good guys and with all that tech why don't I know of ya?!"

Saying those words with a bit of spunk, he heard the lady ask who they were...heeeey! That wasn't fair, he asked first! Turning away from the guy with the biggest mustache he'd ever seen, that's when he took a few steps forward and crossed his arms over his chest. Regardless of her polite approach and smile, he still spoke up in a harsh tone hinting off his annoyance in all of this, "I asked YOU first, lady!" Letting the situation sink in, he realized that maybe he should introduce himself to these people? For all he knew there wasn't going to be any other humans he could communicate with for a while...or at all. With a grumpy little grunt he narrowed his eyes a bit and quirked a thick black brow just waiting for HIS question to be answered first. Yeah...his bratty little antics didn't seem to be stopped right away. She may have had a fully working gun, but he could tell she was a typical pit sniffing good guy and wouldn't fire right off the bat.

'How repungant a manner of speech! All this 'crude' and 'sludge' and all that Habadashery. I do hope they don't all speak so...disgustingly...'

The younger boy showed immaturity, but not insolence- such as when the woman had asked him his name regardless of the order of asking. This always made Robotnik mad. He liked to speak, and when he wasn't weather or not to speak, he often got irritated, confused, and a mess of other nouns. Regardless, he figured that silence would stain the air without a response, and so he spoke up in his loud, hearty, and 'sophisticated' tone.

"Well, since the rest of you are confused, allow me to introduce myself! My name is Doctor Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrobotnik! Lord and ruler of the Eggman Empire! And you, who've ignored the storm of questions, what is your name, dare I ask?"

Obviously, he thought he was very impressive. Wither or not the others thought the same was...subjective.
