Chain Reaction

Thirteen

Zouge treated Zector's leg and Zhadow's injuries from Zonic kicking him in the ribs and landing on the ground, Zepsio sat by them, the haunting image of their partner, the misty look in his once forest eyes, it was almost like he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, yet the room was silent, none of them knew what to say about their encounter, not even as Zilver and Zlaze walked in demanding to know what had happened, demanding to know what their mission was and where Zonic had run off too

"Stop it okay!" Zespio snapped and glared at the pair, they stood startled "If your that desperate to know why don't you ask Zails"

"Sure that's wise? Zails is busy trying to find a way to fix this" Zhadow pointed out

"Fix what exactly?!" Zilver glared "The warden is dead!" That made all four mobians feeze

"What?" Zector muttered

"He's just been found dead in his office, no one can find any of the higher officers" Zlaze explained

"This is getting worse..." Zhadow mumbled

"You think dumb ass!?" Zilver yelled

"Will you stop yelling!" Zouge glared " getting mad about this is the worst possible thing!"

"The future is at stake! How do we know this is apart of what happened!?" Zilver glared right back "Zonic said that he'd do his best to stop shit like this from happening! But apparently he's a lying coward"

"That's enough!" Zails appeared from around the corner "Zonic isn't to blame! This is exactly why he never got any sleep, he was always busy with dealing with warden constantly giving him more and more work! Even then Sonic primes the one who snapped, Zonic was only a counter reaction"

"What...?" Everyone had fallen silent as Zilver asked

"Zonic is the one killing everyone" Zails stated bitterly, as Zouge stared in shock while Zilver's eyes widened and Zlaze gasped

"Zonic's the one?" Zouge whispered

"He shot Zector in the leg as we tried to catch him, in an attempted to try and help him" Zespio mumbled "he's not himself, nether is Sonic prime"

"But... How is that possible?" Zlaze asked fearfully

"It's called 'The Chain Reaction Theory'... Where one thing happens in the prime zone it happens in the rest, but rarely" Zails explained with a sigh "Zone snapped during the meeting a few days ago and killed all the head officers that attended"

"But he would've had a reason to do so...right?" Zespio sighed

"He did... Unlike what you all think of him... The other divesions treated him as if he were a brat and kept on saying the only reason he was a higher officer was because he was his primes counterpart" Zails muttered "in my opinion they got what they deserved"

"So he just snapped and has started killing people? Are you seriously saying it isn't his fault!?" Zilver exclaimed

"He's not entirely there..." Zhadow stated, causing the white hedgehog to turn to him "When I had him pinned, he wasn't thinking straight, usually when inline him in training I never have hold of him for more than a second, bit he was thrashing"

"So what? You could've given him a concussion!" Zilver argued

"His eyes were bright red Zilver! They were clouded over like he was under some sort of control or drug, but Zonic's always been clean and suck at the sight of blood, and now's his craving it, this isn't entirely him!" Zhadow glared

"Why are you taking his side!" Zilver snapped

"Because I've done the same fuck-Ng thing remember!?" Zhadow growled his crimson eyes lighting up with fury and startling the other and causing him to fall silent
