It was yet another usual night at the prison camp.
Snively sat there, inside his cell. His arms crossed and his knees bended as he held them against himself.
The cold, damp environment made up for just about right concurrance with the hurt, physical and emotional, that he had gone through, and still experienced.
His clothes were still torned and dusted from that time where he'd last taken on his superior. The sight clearly demonstrated how he didn't get the chance to change himself since then.
The position he found himself in was a little bit too familiar, if anyone could've pressumably cared enough to reach out and ask.
After his last scheme fell victim to the cunning ability of improvisation that Doctor Eggman possessed, he was trapped in complete isolation. It was only days later that, although hard to believe, the fiendish scientist felt compassionate enough to move him to the particular camp.
He didn't feel too good about that happening, certainly, as his only companions were other infidels to the Dark Egg Legion whom he'd been incarcerated along with, however in separated cells. Regulars already appeared to be established.
The bed was almost as hard as it had been for him, he felt needless to say the floor would be a better option.
The robotic guards only came once a day to bring dining consumption, and the food was not dellectable. Eggman never was a good cook, so Colin wouldn't expect him to have that much of an ability in integrating said with his mechanics.
Time went by without him moving an inch. Only snorting in order to maintain the runny nose he had stable. Clock ticking noises from somewhere...
Snively let out a deep sigh.
But, then... Something started to thump his hearing. At first he didn't mind it, since it would only seem reasonable that some mental difficulties would surface being the cause of such prolonged depravement.
The sound kept increasing.
So he decided to get himself up and get as much of a sneak peak as possible from within his cell, holding on to the bars of the cell as he tried to fit his thin figured head through them to get a look.
It started to sound as more of small continuous explosions emitating from somewhere outside the cell room, getting closer from afar after each one took off.
Then, the one bulb header visible outside through a small window on the door of the room exploded, as he predicted. This got the attention of the other Mobian prisoners, murmur audible around the place as they commented on what happened.
"What was that?" "I don't know, but it woke me up." "That was the only light shining on my cell!" mixture of feelings towards it.
It didn't take long afterwards until the electronic cell panel on Snively's cell started to mysteriously beep, as a red light pulsed with speeding frequence along with the sound, it coming to an end by short circuiting as well as the light outside.
This made the cell open itself to the right, apparently because of some sort of malfunction.
He was free. Snively was perplexed by what had just happened, but he didn't hesitate on stepping out.
The same happened to the other cells, he looked on the prisoners exiting theirs and raising their voices in awe as they proclaimed freedom.
"We're free!" "What in the world just happened?" "Who cares?! What matters now is we can get out of here and get away from that Eggman!" "Hey, I want revenge against Robotnik!" "Yeah, we should get back at him for what he's done to us first!"
And upon hearing this, it was when the relatively passive look on the young scientist's face was pushed aside by a more sinister demeanor. He wanted that.
Revenge. To get back at his uncle and finally, indispensably prove that he can do better than him. Taking a look at the mass of people, he got an idea. He figured he could regroup and reclute them for a purpose.
He didn't have to be alone.
And he did. He spoke to them, boldly and vigorously promoting himself as the right leader to follow.
"This is a time for justice! Are you tired of that fiend using you as his play toys for his bloated scheming?! Or do you like him to use you as tools? And not just any tools! That guy even made some of you LITERAL tools, if you'd just take a look at your own limbs...!"
Snively was in speech mode, and he felt convincing about what he was saying. The group of prisoners gattered around him when he'd began to outspeak.
He would use their desire for revenge to his own advantage. Or seek to.
"Well, it doesn't have to be that way any longer! You can make the difference, and you can have the Empire you'd always wanted!"
But then one prisoner from the crowd shot at him, "Oh, yeah? Why should we trust you? You're even more deceptive than Robotnik himself!"
"No! Okay, look...! Yeah, I made my mistakes in the past, but that doesn't have to matter now. We can look towards a good future!" Snively said back to the prisoner, slight staggering in the tone of his response.
Another prisoner from the crown talked "As far as I see it, you don't even have a plan! So put up or be quiet!" he sounded irritated
"Well, no... I-I don't really have a plan just yet, but still! We'll work better if we stick together! You don't even have anywhere to go to by yourselves, anyway... I could just call on the guards to get you all in your cells individually once more!" Snively came down to more manipulative security in his speech.
Naturally.
"See, you ARE just like Eggman! Besides, you'd get locked back in again too!" the same prisoner retorted in a defensive response
"You're missing the point! We won't gain anything if we go that way!" sensitive about what they were saying, as much as it pained him to care.
The warning of a loner prisoner close to the door was then what interrupted them.
"Whoa, ya'll going to need to stop it with the arguing and take a look outside because more of those guards be reckon are coming our way!"
So it appeared that they wouldn't have to make it a consequential choice to help him or not. They would have to confront the robots coming their way together.
This story's the prologue to a roleplay idea I came up with. The plot is a little advanced in time to actually roleplay it at this point, so I just wrote it on here as a story! Another chapter will be coming up shortly. I'm still unsure of how much I'll decide to extend this, but I'll let you guys now!
