I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog, Archie Comics or any respective (Told ya!) characters. I only own my OC Revenge.

Cellmates

My head was ringing.

Damn it, where am I?

I felt the ground shaking beneath me. An earthquake? No. No, it feels like a van or something.

I groaned as I opened my eyes a little. I saw a bunch of Zone Cops around me on the walls. Uh oh.

"Hey, he's waking up!" One of them said. "Get a Control Collar on him, quick!" One of them snapped a golden collar around my neck.

I felt my claws retract back into my hands, my fangs morph back into normal teeth and my eyes lost their Blood Vision and I could tell that they'd returned back to their normal blue colour, I looked at my body and saw that it'd returned back to its dull yellow colour.

I looked at my hands again. They were in cuffs. Brilliant, just what I need.

I sat on the floor thinking.

DAMN IT! I needed those powers and stuff for my revenge! Oh well. These dicks are probably taking me to the No Zone jail. Hmmm. Maybe this won't be so bad after all. Maybe I can find someone that I can use as a backup plan in case my first plan to kill the Freedom Fighters fails. But getting out of there could be a bit of a problem. Oh well, one bridge at a time.

I was cut off from my thoughts by the vehicle stopping. And I got pushed out onto a ramp.

Looks like I was right. The No Zone jail.

I walked along until I saw Warden Zobotnik and Major Znively.

"Well, well, well, how you been Zobo?" I asked snidely. Then momentarily froze. My voice was normal. It wasn't demonic in the slightest. I snapped out of it.

"I've been well. And now J-" He started before I cut him off.

"Revenge. My name's Revenge. I've legally changed it."

"Is this true?" Zobotnik asked Znively.

I looked around while I waited.

Man, not these losers again. I can only hope that there's a few enemies of Sonic's in here.

"All right, fine." Zobotnik said. "Revenge your uniform is along there." He pointed along the walkway. "And you are sharing a cell with Smalls and Scourge. We've just finished putting in an extra bed." I felt my ears pick up at the mention of Scourge.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. When's my parole?" I asked sarcastically.

"You won't be getting one. Now the rules are all around the compound on walls. And that collar you're wearing stops you from using your abilities. Goodbye." And with that I moved further down the walkway.

Scourge, eh? This could be useful. I better get on the right side of him. Though from what I've heard about him, he's probably in charge here.

After I'd got my orange suit on I was lead to my cell. I was allowed to keep my shoes.

When I got in the cell I saw that two beds were occupied. One by a big purple cat and the other by the Scourge the Hedgehog. The cat's bed had two mattresses and Scourge's didn't have any.

I walked over to the third bed, which was over in the corner, and lay down on it and stared at the ceiling.

After the guards had left the cat got off the bed and walked over to me.

"Hey, Girly, give me your mattress." He demanded.

"Oh, how original." I said sarcastically. "No, Fatty, I won't give you my mattress. I don't know how you got the King over there to give you his, but I ain't giving you mine."

"The King?" Fatty scoffed. "You mean Snot?"

"My, my, aren't you just the most imaginative person I've ever met." I said, Noticing Scourge watching me.

"Do you know who I am?" He asked menacingly.

"The guy in here most need of a wash?" I asked. "The one they had to widen the doors for? The one who is annoying me, and trust me, you don't want to do that." I hissed quietly.

He punched me in the stomach and lifted me up. "The name's Smalls. And you're gonna do whatever I say, got it?"

"Are…you sure?" I asked, winded. "You look…more like an extra extra large to me."

Smalls lifted his fist to punch me again, but as he swung at me, I caught his fist easily in one hand. And I took his other hand in the other and slowly bent it back until he let go of me.

I dropped to the floor and landed stood up. I grabbed him in the chest in one hand and lifted him up with ease.

"Now listen to me Smalls, I've really not had a good time today. Most of my abilities have been taken away, but I still have a taste for blood. Fresh blood. Maybe even your blood. So unless you let me do my time here in relative peace, I will make you the next on my blood list." I said coldly before dropping him.

He looked like a child who's seen a monster. He just nodded and ran back to his bed.

"Less than five minutes and you've already threatened someone." A voice said by the bars of the cell. I didn't need to turn to know who it was.

"So what, Zobotnik?" I muttered.

"I was hoping that you'd made some progress since you transferred out of here last time."

I laughed. "Transferred! I busted out, you idiot! Now, take this collar off me and I'll kill you quick."

"I'm afraid I can't do that, Revenge."

"At least give me my looks back."

"No."

"Oh, I'll have a lot of fun with you later, Zobo. A whole lot of fun." I whispered.

I heard him walk off.

I looked over at Scourge and saw he was looking at me.

"So are you the Scourge then?" I asked.

"Yeah." He replied a little hesitantly.

"Good. Then maybe coming here wasn't a complete waste of my time. Why's Smalls got your mattress?" I asked, curious.

"Why do you care?"

"Because maybe we can help each other. And maybe someday we can work together to kill Sonic."

"You want to kill Sonic? Why?"

"Personal reasons. You?"

"None of your business."

I grinned. "You have a way out of here?"

"Uh, no." He said and my grin disappeared.

"Ah crap." I muttered. "Why'd he call you 'Snot'?" I asked.

"Because I'm a nobody here."

"What? You mean-it's the collars isn't it? Without your speed you're a nobody."

Scourge just growled lowly confirming my suspicions.

"Great. There goes most plans of busting out of this dump." I muttered.

"Didn't the Warden say that you'd busted out before?"

"Yeah, but they've increased security in the weak spots. We won't be getting out of here anytime soon." I sighed. "But we can still help each other."

"What are you talking about? I don't need any help!" Scourge shouted. "I don't need friends!"

"Maybe not, but you do need someone to watch your back. Someone to help you out when you need it. Look all I'm saying is that without your speed you probably get beat up a lot right?" I asked. Seeing him nod I continued. "I could help. A split of my food here, a hand when you're being beat up there. And in return all I want is a little help when I need it most. A favour. Nothing to extreme. And if either of us finds a way out of here, we tell the other and we escape together." I proposed and walked over to him with my hand extended. "Do we have a deal?"

"All right, you got it." He said shaking my hand. "You got a plan?"

"Oh, yeah." I grinned. "I've got one hell of a plan."

"So what do we do first?" He asked standing up.

"Nothing."

"Nothing!" He yelled.

"Chill. These guys know me. They think they know my style. They think that I'm gonna try to escape right now. If we wait a few weeks we can lull them into a false sense of security. It's then that we strike."

He started to grin. "I like it."

"I told you it was good. We better not speak for a while. I noticed a guard looking at us a few minutes ago." I said walking back to my bed. I grabbed my mattress and passed it to Scourge. "You threatened me for it." I said. He had a look of confusion on his face. "It'll fool the guards." I explained and grabbed my pillow and cover and lay on the springs.

Not bad for a first day. I've got to get a plan into motion though. I'm going to need some blood if this goes wrong though, or if it takes more than a few weeks. Meh. I can't wait to rub my escape in Zobo's face again. Okay, I'm tired now. Sleepy time.

A.N. Man this was done fast. In under 24 hours since I finished my first chap. I'm not stalling this chap. Really I'm not. Okay even I can't stall for 460 words. So see ya! Please review.
