I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog, Archie Comics or any respective characters. I only own my OC Revenge.
Past
I wandered around the yard, thinking.
It's been two days since the Destructix got here. Yesterday, Scourge got Simian and Predator to join him. He's still got Flying and Lightning to go, though.
Aw, screw it. I might as well go to that therapy thing. It's not like I have anything better to do.
I headed down to the therapy room. When I got in there was already a group of others in the room, including Lightning. I saw Zouge sitting in a chair.
"Not late for it, am I?" I asked.
"Not at all. Grab a chair and we'll get started." She replied. I sat in an empty chair next to Lightning. "Everyone, I'd like to welcome Lightning and Revenge to today's group therapy session."
Scourge walked in. "Yo! Got room for one more?" He asked.
"Of course! The warden will be pleased you finally decided to join us."
Scourge walked up next to me.
"I'd like to encourage you to open up to the group." Zouge told Scourge. "Let us help you confront your challenges and illuminate your problems."
"Sure!" Scourge said. "That sounds just like me! But Lightning here should get first dibs, right?"
"Of course, but only if he feels comfortable."
"I…I don't really know where to start…" Lightning said, sounding a bit upset.
"Lightning." I began. "If you want, I could go first. It should give you time to think."
"Yeah. That'd be good. Thanks."
"No problem."
"Okay, Revenge. What do you think made you lash out?" Zouge asked.
"I…I guess it started when Robotnik staged his coup. My parents' village was one of the first to be destroyed. My parents died. They were turned to ash. The same as the rest of the village. Everything was dust. Except for me. For some reason I survived. I was found by a wanderer who was searching the village. He took me back to his village. It'd escaped the sight of Robotnik somehow. I lived there for years. He brought me up like I was his son. But I always knew he wasn't my father. When I was five it started. The beatings. Everyday it was the same group of brats. They cornered me, they beat me up, they told me not to tell anyone or they'd make it worse. It was every day. My surrogate father noticed and asked me where I'd got the bruises and cuts. I told him and he confronted the parents' of the bullies. I don't know what was said, only that there was shouting. When the shouting finished they'd knocked him out and said he was a traitor! That he was going to sell them out to Robotnik! They killed him! They killed him and I was alone. The beatings just got worse. This went on for years until last year when Sonic the Hedgehog went into space. My village was destroyed by a faulty robot. All the adults died. Just as it was about to kill everyone as well, the Freedom Fighters showed up. They saved us and took us to Knothole. I thought it was going to be different there. I was wrong. I was still beat up daily by the same group of bullies. I was still an outsider. But something was different. I met someone. A friend, a good friend. Lara. She looked after me. No one else did. She was the one small light in my life. Then she was snuffed out. They killed her. They killed her for just being my friend! And they didn't just kill her they… Well that was the last straw. I had no friends, no family and no future. I took a knife and stuck it into my heart." I paused and chuckled lowly. "But I didn't die. I should have died, but I didn't. I was alive, yet changed. My eyes were that of a demon. And so were my new abilities. I left Knothole to come to terms with my new self. I didn't realise what I was until very recently. I am Revenge! So I changed my name. And with my powers realised I went to New Mobotropolis and took my vengeance on those bullies! Then I was caught and brought here." I finished.
That…did make me feel a bit better. Maybe…
"Thanks for listening. I…have to think." I said getting up. I ran out of the room and headed back to my cell.
That was weird. But, it…
I sighed when I reached my cell.
I need revenge. I need revenge! They ignored me! They didn't do anything for me! I am J-Revenge! No that's my past, not the present. Isn't it?
I sat on my bed.
"Am I going insane? Who am I? What am I?" I muttered. "NO! I am Revenge! I must get vengeance!" I shouted. "Mustn't I?"
I need to focus. But, am I right? I don't know… FOCUS! ESCAPE! Escape then I can think about this.
I took a few deep breaths, closed my eyes and cleared my mind. I relaxed for a few minutes.
I heard Scourge walk in.
I opened my eyes and saw some guards forcing Scourge into the room. Then they barred the cell.
Scourge sat on his bed and started laughing. "That was priceless! I need to talk about my feelings more often. It gets more people hurt that way!"
Suddenly someone outside the cell started laughing. "Hee hee hee!"
"Wha? !" Scourge gasped as we both turned. It was Flying, ginning very creepily. Scourge walked over to the bars.
"Hee hee hee!"
"Uh…hey, Flying. Didn't…didn't see you there. Um…'sup?"
"Hee hee hee…" Flying just turned his head at a complete angle. "Hee-hee-meeeeee?"
Okay, this guy is majorly weird.
"You've been talking to the others-brothers-smothers. But not to me-hee-hee!" Flying said crawling through the bars.
"You were the next on my list!" Scourge said.
"Really? You haven't been avoiding me-hee-hee?"
"Nah, man! Remember when we were all working for Doc Finitevus? I do! Good times, man, good times!" Scourge claimed sounding freaked out. "I mean, we green bros gotta stick together, right?"
"Oh, yes! It's not easy being green!" Flying said fist bumping Scourge. "But I wonder-sunder-plunder if you really want me around? You see… I've done…things."
"Yeah, well, no one here is an angel…" Scourge said, rubbing his head.
"NO!" Flying shouted, leaping at Scourge, backing him up against a wall. "What's the matter Scourge-dirge-purge? ! Don't you want to play? ! I've seen you play with Sonic! I've heard how you played with Moebius! I want to play to! The Destructix play the games I like to play! Not like the run-scream-cry Mercians! A little pain-stain-ingrain never hurt anyone! Not me, anyway! So many shouting-pouting-clouting… They tried to lock me away-stay-pay, but I got out! Then more would find my mess-excess-success! So more chase-deface-erase, and I play with them next! And then the next, and then the next, and then the next-!"
He probably would have gone on but Scourge grabbed his throat and screamed at him, "KNOCK IT OFF!" Then continued in a calmer tone, "I'm running the Destructix now, so you follow me!"
"Oh. Okay." Flying said. Then he turned and crawled through the bars. "Sounds like fun!"
Scourge leaned against his bed and said, "Eesh! The guy makes Rosy look cuddly!"
"Is it safe to have someone like that on the team?" I asked.
"Honestly, I have no idea."
"I'm going sleep. The party's gonna rock!" I laughed, as I fell asleep.
I woke to someone shouting "JAILBREAK!"
I jumped off the bed and waited for my collar to deactivate.
The bars on the door retracted.
"Huh…?" I heard Smalls mutter.
"And phase five…" Scourge said.
Smalls swung his head below his bed. "Hey, Snot! The door's open! If you carry me, maybe I'll help you get out of here! Whaddya say?"
"I say…" Scourge began, before he Spin Dashed Smalls through the ceiling and walked out of the cell. "…I help myself to a heapin' helping of payback! All hail the King, baby!"
I followed him out.
"This is gonna be awesome! Now to get my powers back." I muttered.
A.N. YES! Finally! This took forever to do. I'm glad the comic arc part of this story is almost over. It's so boring just copying down the comics. I mean I have to go to 'a well-known video website (you know which one)' and back every two seconds. Anyway the next chapter is going to be the last comic story one, so then it's completely made up. And for some reason I haven't put the last chapter up yet. I mean I finished it but I couldn't put it up because the internet was switched off. (Damn you mother! (Just kidding.)) And I can tell I'm not going to put this one up yet. Or I might. I can't tell. It is me. Anyway can someone do a drawing of Revenge? Please? If you do and you have a Sonic OC I'll make a cameo for them if you want. (Yes, I am now resorting to bribes.) So yeah, bye.
