Scourge P.O.V
I ran past the trees at sonic speed. I had been caught in another act of stealing. I can't help it. 'S a force of habit I can't help it. Suddenly I was thrown off balance and rammed into a tree. My sunglasses became crooked on one side and I looked up to see my prime staring down at me. I gritted my teeth while smiling. My ears pressing against the back of my head.
"I thought you went to jail. Can never get a break from idiots like you can I?" Sonic says. I stand up and adjust my glasses and brush off my coat.
"I missed you two ya retard." snicker and he growls. I dig in my pockets and pull out an emerald shard. I hold it up to him. "Lookin' for this?" He goes to snatch it but thanks to my faster reflexes I swiftly pull my hand away.
"Come and ge-" Suddenly the ground starts shaking enough to make it look like there was an extra floor. I took a step back when a loud crack is heard. I look behind me as a tree begins to fall. I stand there frozen. I can barely hear my opposite yelling.
"SCOURGE MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" I snap out of my daze just in time and dodged the tree. I looked over to Sonic who's face was in shear panic.
"Lets get out of here!" I shout over a loud rumble. Before he can answer a bright green light is seen in the dark and coming straight at us. I begin running when suddenly a shock wave sends me flying along with Sonic into trees and bushes. I groan and sit up and pick up my glasses to see a crack in the lens. My eye twitches and I stand.
"Thats it! Whatever the hell that thing is has hell to pay!" I shout storming over to a large crater in the ground. It's green light slowly faded and I slid down to the bottom. I sheilded my face from any dust in the air and as soon as I reach the bottom I look up to find myself staring at a large container. There was something on the side and I wiped the dirt away to see clearer ignoring Sonic's pleas to get back.
"Experiment 06066...? Creepy. Hey road kill I need you to look at this!" I wiped more dirt away as more words appeared. "Warning: Highly Dangerous, Explosive, Do Not Allow Outside." I tilted my head to the side in thought. Why would someone drop this here? My ears twitched as heard more than one person come down the slope.
"Sonic I thought I told you to only come down here." I said not even turning around.
"Hello to you two Scourge" I heard Shadow say. I rolled my eyes and stepped aside for him to look at it. I bowed at him smirking and pointed to the hunk of junk.
"For you my highness." I smirk. The ebony hedgehog just gives an annoyed expression and walks over to the sign on the side I cleared off. He stops and his spines raise and his hands begin shaking.
"No... That... It's not possible." He mumbles to himself and starts clearing off the top of it. I give Sonic a questioning look and he shrugs. Shadow knocks on the top and a small slot opens up in the shape of a small diamond. Something in my mind clicks and I stand next to him and take the emerald shard out of my pocket and hesitantly put it in. Shadow doesn't stop me.
"WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?!" Sonic yells from the bottom. Lights come on all around it and a figure is shown in the window. Shadow studies the figure.
"This is... Amber Hunter!" He exclaimes to me. I raise an eyebrow and he smiles down at the large cell. "She was a friend of mine a long time ago. She was taken in because she had a special gift along with others. They were able to control the elements but she was the main one because she controlled them all. One day she came to me saying something about freedom. She wanted to be free, to do as she pleased without anyone daring to tell her otherwise. She was alot like Scourge actually only... Less annoying and not a hedgehog." He said smirking at me. My ear twitched.
"What is she then?" I asked to change the subject. "Or are you going to continue the story?"
"Well she was. And she's a wolf. Anyway, so she devised a plan for her to bust out along with her friends in the compound 'Guardian 201'. I was with a friend when I heard from Maria that they had been captured along with Amber. By the time we got there... They all were put into chambers except for Amber. She had ripped off her necklace that kept her from losing herself. She had a few loose ends like her friend Ratchet the Racoon. They had to wear chaos emerald shards around their necks to keep them from showing their evil sides." He trailed off and looked at Sonic who was now glaring at the chamber. I looked inside of it and saw he shillouhette stir a bit.
"She killed fifty guards that day." Shadow says leaning on the cool metal. "She doesn't mean to do it, its the monsters inside that cause her to do it. Unlike her friend Ratchet she has two." He held up two fingers and I stared at him in shock. Two demons? This chic must be mucho loco.
"I rushed to help and held her down as her necklace was placed back on her neck... She stared at me as if nothing had happened and shoved me off locking herself in the chamber and using the element of mind control to have me turn the chamber on... We lost a good friend that day. Only a few days later Maria did the same with me. But you found me first and now she's here. I'm keeping a promise for her though. To bring her back when everything is over." Shadow says almost inaudible to our ears. Shadow wipes his eyes with the back of his hand and walks over to the panel and begins typing in a code at remarkable speed. The hatches released and the scent of wolf and water filled the air around us. Shadow opened it fully and there was a low moan as a wolf a bit smaller than me and Sonic lands on Shadow's shoulders.
She was wearing a leather jacket that had full sleeves but cut off at her mid-stomach. She had a dark green t-shirt with a black skull on the front and camo pants with lots of pockets. I looked around her neck and sure enough there was a shard hanging by a silver chain. She also had combat boots with a thin layer of metal in between the sole and bottom of the boot. I let out a low whistle as Sonic smacked me upside the head then rammed me into a boulder. I almost forgot I was being taken in for stealing a shard. I huffed as cuffs were slapped on me. Shadow simply stared and then put Amber down and stared at her neclace then removed it. My eye twitched.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" I yelled at him. He went to the top of the machine and removed the chaos shard and put it on the chain removing the old one. They were exactly the same.
"Sonic take this and put it on the master emerald as a replacement it's the same thing just out of energy. Think of the shards as batteries and let Scourge go for now." Shadow said handing him the shard. Sonic rolled his eyes and took it then undid the cuffs. I rubbed my wrists and ran off into the woods.
This wont be the last they'll se of me however. For worse things are headed my way. I know it.
