Time has passed, things have changed now. I'm no longer the hero of Mobius, I'm no longer their fucking goody-two-shoe slave. It was hell being their hero, they made me be the good guy for far too long and I'm honestly glad things are different. I admit I was blind to it all, I never realized how trapped I was, that I was bound to their orders and expectations.

I had some help realizing this, I didn't believe him at first when he came to me one day, laughing about how much of a fool I was. But now I do. He helped me be free, to escape from my chains that kept me bound to them with my loyalty and trust which they broke when they didn't accept me for who I am. He was right, they used me for their own gain, they used me and that I'll never forgive them for. My own friends, people I trusted with no hesitation backstabbing me.

Even now, I can still remember that day so vividly as if it happened yesterday and not a year ago. Isn't it truly odd...just how much can change in a day so simple and ordinary as any other?

. . .

Another boring day, nothing new or exciting. Years ago I noticed the repetitive lifestyle we all led. Wake up, shower, eat, run, sleep and then it repeats like this until maybe a single day where some other pathetic bad guy thinks he can rule something until me and the other teams stop them. Otherwise that was it, how dreadfully boring it was until one thing that was new was him. Following me, doing everything he can to piss me off or persuade me of the same topic like he's done for days.

"Sonic babe, what are you wasting your time for? You know those idiots you call friends are holding you back." He scoffed, "You're a fool yourself for letting them."

I remember crossing my arms across my chest, I felt annoyed by his presence, my eyes were narrowed and my lips pulled down into a frown. "My friends aren't idiots, Scourge. And what is this supposed thing they're holding me back from? Huh, nothing!" I threw my hands out in exasperation, I was sick of his constant mocks and at my wits end with him. I had been going out on a run to clear my mind in the green hill zone when he caught up to me, making me stop and listen to him. Again. "Why do you keep bothering me like this! Why don't you save us both the trouble and stop." He pulled a cigarette from his leather jacket and lit it while snickering at my disgusted expression, his ocean blue eyes half-lidded yet filled with mischievous secrets.

"You can deny it, pretend they don't use you." With two fingers he lifted the cigarette to his lips inhaling deeply before letting smoke out with a smirk, the strong scent of the smoke irritated me at first but I grew used to it quickly. "But deep down inside Sonic you know as well as I do that they only want to keep you grounded here as their faithful servant doing what they want."

"I'm done listening to you, you're a hopeless case talking nonsense." As I turned to leave Scourge moved faster than I could watch him, his stood over me. His figure towering tall over mine with a fiery glint in his eyes and snarled. His cigarette had been discarded, his hand held my arm in a strong grip that it made me wince and cry out whilst struggling, "Hey! You're hurting me let go!"

"Listen to me! For once listen to what I have to say to you, you fool!" He glared at me, his free hand held my wrist with such strength that I could only struggle to no avail, there was no point in trying to break free from him. "Why can't you see what I see? I've tried telling you and make you see...what else can I do to show you-" Scourge froze mid-sentence.

"You uh, good there?" I asked somewhat concerned, he was starting to worry me now at this point. His eyes looked far away, a million miles gone. He let out a breathy laugh, "Of fucking course!"

"Of course what if I can ask? Could ya finally let me go now?" I ask in a bored tone. Scourge shook his head much to my dismay, letting out a cheerful "Nope!" with a grin on his face.

"If telling you won't help, then I'll show you!" Scourge let my wrist go to pull out a handheld object with the frame and shape of a toy plastic pistol with the basic familiar parts of a communicator I had. There was a faint green glowing symbol with the letters C.I. on the side of the object.

"What the hell is that?" I question without meaning to.

"A neat new invention I snagged from Zonic a few days ago before I got here, it transports you to different zones. He won't be missing it much anyways." I scoff outwardly at his words, but inwardly my heart began racing. Where is he trying to take me now? Why am I still here with him? It's obvious he's lying like always, he just wants to mess with my head...but maybe...what if he being telling the truth?

"So what? I'm not going anywhere with you Scourge." My mind is torn in two, they are my friends and I think I know they wouldn't be using me like he says. Lately though it's like they stopped caring for me and they only hung around me enough to make it not noticeable. He sighs dramatically as if this inconvenienced him greatly.

"Normally I wouldn't give you a choice, but I'm giving you one. I know you're curious and thinking about this seriously." Scourge released me from his grip, I took a step back from the green hedgehog. I eyed him toying with the invention in his hands carefully. "You come with me, I'll show you your reality. If you don't, I'll leave you be and let you live your lie."

"No tricks?" He knew as much as I did that he had won me over on this.

"No tricks Blue, if you still don't believe me I'll bring you back." My eyes darted from the invention back to him, if I did believe him then what? Do I not come back to my world? I voiced this out to him and my anti-self shrugged his shoulders. "There's a chance you won't want to come back." Reaching his hand out to me Scourge asked, "So what'll it be? You in?"

"You know what, fuck it I'll go." I was bored anyways, I know I'll never believe what he keeps pushing on me so what harm will this do? I gave him my hand which he took with a grin. I didn't know how life-changing this unexpected decision was at the time. Scourge aimed the pistol towards the ground and shot out a violet circle that stood an inch away from the ground hovering in the air.

"Ladies first." Scourge said. I rolled my eyes before I took a leap into the portal with him following right after me his laughter echoing and mixing with my own.

What'd ya think? This interesting enough for y'all? It certainly was cool to write. I might bump the rating to T but for now I'll keep it at M cause I'm paranoid. This is a SonicXScourge story I came up with. Where are they going? What is Scourge up to with the blue blur himself? Is Sonic truly bored or is that just an excuse to use when he really believes Scourge. Do Sonic's friends really use him or is that a lie?

Please leave a review of your thoughts, questions, comments, or concerns and I'll get to answering them soon. Until next time :D.
