Betrayed
Cobalt eyes watched groggily as the black boot held her down. Vicious yet sultry looking crystal eyes looked condescendingly down at her. "Stay down girl. You had no chance before and you have no chance now."
Tikal looked weakly on at the shrine wishing dearly that she had the combat skills of Shade or the power of Knuckles. She was disgusted at the blue hedgehog who slowly walked towards the Master Emerald. She could see that he could feel the power that it held.
She couldn't let him touch it. Lifting up a shaking hand to the emerald she started to mumble weakly. "The servers... are the seven chaos... Chaos is power power enriched by the hea-"
"Quit your babbling, freak." Fiona removed her boot from where it was lodged in the Echidna's stomach. "You lost. It's over."
Spitting up blood she fell half way unconscious, eyes half lidded, and groaning.
"You done with the bitch yet Fi?"
"A long time ago Scourge." She purred "I'm just playing around with her."
"Good," He smirked arrogantly. "Now watch this light show babe. It's gonna be a once in a lifetime event."
He channeled all his energy before placing his hand on the emerald. He released it all and the Master Emerald began to glow wildly.
He clenched his teeth in pain as the energy siphoned into him. His eyes eyes became bloodshot and his quills lost the usual blue hue. Energy pulsed through his veins in spasms.
His mind was the only thing running in the temporary shell that was his body.
Thinking.
Plotting.
He'd kill that blue bastard. No one would confuse him with goodie two shoes blue boy. It's happened too many times already.
He smirked viciously showing his fangs. Life flowed back into his body.
Heart pumping dangerously quickly and his fists clenched and new slick green fur covered him, a sign of the source of his power.
The Master Emerald dimmed slightly still pulsating and converting the energy it was given.
Letting out a loud roar of power he revelled at his new power.
"That's all? A fur change? What a waste of time!" Fiona scoffed.
"Oh trust me its more than just a fur change. I'm a brand new Scourge!"
"Still full of the same hot air I see." Scourge lowered his sunglasses glowering at her in revolt before letting out a malicious smirk.
"Seeing as how this job is done..." He snarled. Before summoning a green ball of energy in his hand. "I don't need to carry the dead weight anymore! Razor Wind!"
The supercharged attack engulfed Fiona and Tikal, finally knocking the echidna out and eliciting a loud shriek from the fox.
The wind slashed through Fiona's fur deep wounds littered her body as she fell to the ground, "Asshole," she whimpered before falling unconscious.
With a sneer Scourge placed a hand on the Emerald again. With a shout of "Chaos Control!" He was gone in a flash of green.
There was a hard knock on the door of the villa. Nicole went to answer the door as the boys where out with Knuckles and Rouge had gone to drag Blaze to the mall.
The knocking came again, harder this time. "I'm coming! I'm coming!" She made it to the door at the third knock. "How can I he-."
Her sentence was cut short by a hand around her neck.
She was lifted off the ground against the doorframe, her arms flailing.
"Sup gorgeous?" Scourge asked casually. "Word around Station Square is that Sonic lives here." His voice turned to a more intimidating tone. He pushed her further into the wall. "Where is he?"
He was surprised at the kick to the chin and was flung back quite a ways before he regained his balance. He watched as Nicole flipped and landed delicately before sliding into a stance.
"Pretty smooth for an amateur." He rubbed his slightly sore jaw before smirking at the lynx. "But you're in the big leagues now babe."
Nicole glared at him before speaking. "Please leave my house now. I do not want you anywhere near my children."
"Children huh?A little minx like you has kids? I didn't know the let sluts do that."
A snarl escaped Nicole's lips, a rare sound, but otherwise she remained silent. Scourge let out a chuckle before continuing. "Now if you'll just tell me where Sonic is I'll be leaving."
"My son is not here."
Glasses clattered on the floor. Scourge's jaw dropped before he keeled over in laughing, "You're Sonic's mom? I wonder how he'd feel if he found you out of commission."
He rushed at her at the end of the sentence and was surprised when she successfully dodged the kick.
He inwardly scowled at her competence. Before continuing his assault. If he couldn't break Sonic's body... A maniacal smile covered his face as he finally landed a blow. Her screams where music to his ears... He'd break him from the inside.
The first thing Sonic noticed when he got home with Knuckles and Tails was that the door was open and Nicole wasn't in the garden.
'She's probably went to get something inside.'
Tails seemed to read Sonic's mind. "Mommy must be inside."
Knuckles stuck his hand out in front of the group. "I hear something."
The wind blows but nothing happens.
Sonic spoke suddenly. "Knuckles take Tails with you and go to your island."
Knuckles nodded and carried Tails off. He ignored the cub's confused questions.
Sonic slowly walked into the house, something that Nicole always wanted him to do ironically.
The house was a mess. The coffee table was overturned, magazines were littered everywhere, couches looked like they were thrown to the different corners of the room, bookshelves were toppled over, picture frames where cracked, and Sonic noticed none of that.
He only noticed Nicole's hand sprawled out from under one of the couches. He hurdled over most of the room before power sliding to a stop by the couch, which he lifted with ease.
He pulled her out from under before pulling her close. "Nicole! Mom! What happened?"
She groggily opened her eyes. "Sonic it's a trap, get out."
"Wha-"
"You think I'd let him escape so easily?"
"Who said that?" Sonic stood up clutching Nicole protectively.
"Up here blue boy."
Sonic looked up towards the balcony ledge before jumping back to avoid an aerial kick from the green hedgehog.
"Who the heck are you?"
"You don't remember me, do you kid?"
"Why'd I want to remember a freak like you?" Sonic spat.
"Oh I'm gonna give you a reason to remember me for the rest of your life." Scourge cracked his knuckles and tossed his glasses at Sonic. "That isn't very long by the way."
Sonic watched the glasses drop to the ground before looking back at the hedgehog, mouth slightly open.
"Reality set in yet, blue?" Scourge smirked.
"Scourge? Is that really you?"
"Glad you finally recognise your brother." Scourge rushed at Sonic at surprising speeds that Sonic only just managed to dodge. "Too little too late though."
Sonic shot off out the door. Nicole had just about conked out in his arms. "Why are you tormenting my family?!"
"Family? You call this slut and the bastard mutant family?" Sonic's eyes shot open in rage but he couldn't risk fighting back with Nicole in his arms. He dodged a spin attack by swinging on a vine that led him over a wide ravine.
Scourge's footsteps fell into sync with his own as he recovered.
Jumping over a sweep kick, Sonic's mind ran in circles.
'What do I do? I can't fight him like this. I need to get Nicole to safety.'
"I'd call Tails and Nicole family over you guys any day!" Sonic blasted off towards Windy Valley where Tikal had left a warp ring to the island. "Go back to Westside where scum like you belong!"
Scourge snarled before shooting himself elbow first into Sonic's back. Unable to dodge, Sonic took the full force of the blow, stumbling before recovering in time to dodge another kick.
"If you don't drop the dead weight you'll never live kid." Sonic could hear the chuckle that followed. "Not like you had a chance to anyways."
Ignoring the taunt, Sonic trudged on easily ignoring the force of the approaching tornado but he could also hear Scourge catching up. Thinking quickly he jumped straight up, letting himself be at the mercy of the wind.
Looking up Scourge saw Sonic using the debris of the ripped landscape as launch pads to push him into the centre of the tornado.
"Clever little runt..." Scourge snarled, before continuing the chase. 'I have to get in close, the Razor Wind technique won't work here. Besides...' The green hedgehog smirked. 'I always preferred the hands on method.'
Panel jumping continued until the duo made it to the top of the tornado. Sonic landed on the floating land mass and blasted off down the connecting bridge. The warp ring was at the very bottom of the path so it was here that he really had to juice. Scourge landed soon after looking around before spotting a blue and brown blur flying down the track.
He kicked a brick hard in frustration. "I'm tired of this bullshit! I'm gonna serve that punk what's coming to him!" Sonic already had a lead on Scourge so he looked for a shortcut.
He ran thinking about his sister, brother, and mom. It only made him madder as he jumped from pillar to pillar, making ground on Sonic's lead. They were nobodies now. A bunch of no name losers with nothing going for them.
And it was all Sonic's fault.
"We were gonna throw some money that mutant bastards way... We were fucking loaded with cash!" He was catching up, the blur started to form back into hedgehog. "But instead of doing the smart thing. He had to be a fucking idiot!" Scourge's eyes were bloodshot in rage his new, untamed energy giving his body a light pulsating glow. He was getting faster, more vengeance hungry. "Running away, that's all the little bitch was good for. We lost our career all because of him and that damn gutter fox!"
They were both at the bottom now and Sonic could see the ring to angel island. He could also hear Scourge approaching. He jumped to dodge the incoming punch and kicked his ex-brother in the head. Scourge ate dirt from the unexpected attack and slammed a fist in the ground when he couldn't find Sonic. His scream of aggravation was heard for miles.
Sonic got thrown out of the ring right in front of the Emerald Shrine. Tails and Knuckles turned at his arrival and Tails wailed in despair at Nicole's condition.
"What happened to her Sonic?" Knuckles asked in shock.
Sonic went to put the injured lynx on a cot but was stopped when he saw the equally hurt Tikal on the bed. "Her too..." It wasn't a question, just a solemn observation.
"There's another one, a red fox. Most likely the cause of mom's…condition. We have her in an energy field." Knuckles informed, melancholy filled his voice. "Strange thing though, she's in just as bad a condition as mom."
Sonic suddenly slammed a fist against one of the stone pillars surrounding the shrine. "Dammit! I hate him!"
"Hate who?" Tails asked between ragged breaths. He was sitting beside both of the sleeping women.
Sonic's head dropped with a sigh. He sat down as the day's change of events caught up to him. "Scourge."
"Scourge?"
"My twin."
