Scourge's pov.
I don't know what has gotten into me, but in the last 4 weeks since I started to stay in with Zonic, I have been having a change in my life. I've been lacking the temper that had put me into the prison multiple times before, Zmy has gotten me to talk bout my past and working with me on the stress, and I have been reading the books for new Zone cops 'heh whom would have thought I'd be reading these books' I thought to myself. Just then Zonic and Zmy came in "morning Scourge" Zmy said smiling, I looked up to them "g'mornin Zonic, Zmy...How did those reports go this week?" I asked them.
Zonic walks over and sits down "not good...Zaximus is trying to take custody over you...the warden is considering his perposal to take you from me" he stated slightly upset. I put the book down and took a look at the papers "...wait they'er sayin that ya haven't been working hard enough to change me?!...well for their information I've changed more than that stinkin "Rehibilitation" ever tried to..." I replied aggitated. Zmy then came outta the kitchen and gave us our food "yeah but Zonic is putting in the monthly report, he should change his mind" she said to me then sat down to eat. Later Zmy takes the reports for the month and heads out to the warden.
Once she left Zonic took me back down to the room we've been working on a cybernetics project, since me and Zonic agreed that we couldn't trust the current cybertech n' all. "You really think this'll work?" I asked him looking to the tech we've been doing for the last two weeks. Zonic shrugged "Hopefully yes, but its better than trusting the work of the other scientists" He replied as he picked up a few tools and continued to work on this project. It wasn't till 2:30 pm that Zmy got back with a report on everything she needed to tell us.
"well the good thing is that the warden has concluded that your to keep going with Scourge since the progress in his opinion is better than he had thought and we have been cleared with the doc for the tech project he'll be here in a few to see what he is to work with" Zmy told us n' Zonic had nodded. Its been nearly a month since Zonic n' I started that project n' suposevly finished, when I heard Zonic n' Zmy talking with someone else n' walking up to my room as well "So this is the project?" I glanced over my shoulder to see what looked to be a raccoon walk into the room with the two cops.
"yes Scourge n' I worked on the cyber tech for him to walk n' all but we are still concerned that it may not work" Zonic replied to him n' the guy nodded. He walked iver n' removed the blanket off of me "hmm...I'm sure this could work seeing how the prototypes haven't worked yet at the labs n' your's seems different n' all...but we'll not know for sure till we try it" he said before pulling out a needle that I wanted to protest about but the bugger was fast n' next thing I knew was falling asleep.
I don't know how long I was out but one thing was for sure that I was hurting all over at the moment my back especially though I donno why till I woke up "morning Scourge..." I heard Zonic say quietly n' I relunctantly nodded to him. "Why the hell Do I hurt so much?" I asked n' he shyly chuckled. he looked to me "Mortiky drugged you so he could get to work on putting you together n' I can say one thing...the tech seems to be working to some point that we know." I looked down to see what he ment, the cyber stuff we worked on had been surgically put on n' I guess the chaos energy in my system physically runs through this stuff too n' with a little helf from Zonic I sat up with a few choice words from my aching back "Remind me why we made that back part?" I asked him earning a shy chuckle.
"Can we see if the parts responds at all?" he asked as the doc came in as well n' relunctantly I tried to move one of the cyber limbs n' though it was lacking I managed to get the wrist to move a bit "guess we still need to run some callibrations." I sighed a bit 'wont be long before I can walk again' I thought to myself as he worked on the callabrations to this stuff not that I was complaining or anything.
The doc left after that day saying that things may get better n' I was able to start walking again after the first day n' all but more often than not I'm still needing help with either Zonic's assistance or a crutch at the time since Zonic said that I'm not used to this all n' I couldn't agree more since it still hurt to walk. Zonic though came over a few days after "I've gotta get back to my duty as a cop starting today...HQ is short staffed recently with most winding up in the hospital" he told me n' I couldn't help but worry for some ungodly reason "I donno if your ready but I need to get you to working something too." I sighed a bit as I picked up the crutch "Might as well cause I don't trust Zaximus tryin somethin on me while your off...but you do know I still don't know the routine ?" I said to him n' he chuckled again.
"Don't worry if boss like's you in any way she'll give you a job n' the traning is just getting started for the rookies" he replied to me as we walked to his old truck n' rode off to his work, though I was pretty surprised that this 'HQ' was much larger than I had thought. Even walking inside I could just think one can get lost in this place as we soon stopped in front of this big frilled lizard lady "Reporting for duty sir" Zonic said n' this big one looked back to us n' she just nodded to him before looking to me n' I sorta flinched.
"good to Know Zonic n' who is this one?" she asked in a stricter tone n' Zonic looked to me. He then looked to the lady "this is Scourge sir, we were hoping to get him to work here at HQ..." he replied to the lizard whom I'd later learn is named Zora. She looked to me again n' I guess it was that she was kinda intimidating to me that I flinched again "a bit twitchy ain't he?" she questioned before looking back to Zonic "I've only got one job at the moment n' that would be communications...have him wait out here while we talk this over" she ordered n' he nodded as I sighed a little seeing as my legs were killin me at the moment.
They were in there a while talking about me no doubt but then I hear another voice "so your appart of that new project kid?" I looked to see a Rat whom looked more aggitated than pleased. I looked a bit confused to his behavior "Is this a problem sir?" I asked him n' he suddenly snapped with a additude. I leaned away as best I could from him since I was kinda still seated at this moment "Of course I have a problem that shit is gonna put us outta a job once people learn that this stuff will make a better officer than us without it!" he said angerily at me n' all I could think was that the two talking should hurry up cause I didn't feel like getting into another mess right now.
I was thankfull they did come out with this guy's outburst "Zanni Leave the new rookie alone he is working for us!" Zora ordered him n' the rat immediately jumped away from me. He seemed just as scared of the big lady as I was "Y-yes sir my apologies sir I-I didn't know" he said to her as he turned to leave quickly n' I looked back to them. "Please forgive him...his brother was killed in action due to a cyber enhanced outlaw whom is still at large, but anyways your to start work with the other rookies as of today now hurry off" she said n' I just nodded nervously n' followed Zonic off to this place they wanted me to go to.
Once at the door I looked to him "don't worry people will get to know you better as time goes on n' who know's you'll possibly like working as a Zone communicator n' possible Zonecop in the future" he said as he left to work n' all I could do is sigh n' look to the room 'I sure hope so...' I thought as I walked into the room n' sat in one of the chairs. I soon heard a voice as I had closed my eyes to rest a moment "you the noobie I heard about?" I looked up to see a robin with the natural coloration to that of the non-mobian bird with violet eyes n' I just nodded to her. "Yeah...that would be me...is there an issue ta that?" I asked n' noted her shake her head. She smiled a bit as she sat down next to me "none at all, I'm just starting today too so I just wanted too see if you also were" she said n' it wasn't long later that we heard what we could guess as the teach yelling at everyone to shut up n' sit down n' which everyone did n' I could just guess this was gonna be a long n' hard work.
