Chapter 4 – The Plan
Nothing much can be said here other than the fact the ball is starting to roll. Please review if you can so i can see people are enjoying my story xxx Either way enjoy.
After what seemed like mere seconds after leaving the base the trio landed in an unknown forest.
"Oh, err I miscalculated the jump. We're slightly of course" Blake called out looking sheepish.
Scourge however was sitting on the floor massaging his temples, with Harmony standing beside him staring out through the trees.
"I question…Blakey boy…What was that?"
Blake narrowed his eyes, huffed at him and walked off.
"It's a type of spatial ability; it warps anything in the circle to a different area. Did you see distortion images?" Harmony asked staring down at him.
"More or less, it did make me kind of want to see my last meal again" Scourge replied leaning back onto the forest floor.
"It's not as refined as a Chaos one, but it does the job"
"You sure do know a lot for someone who has just woken up" He raised an eyebrow at her and she merely shrugged. "I question you though, how long you both been in that place?"
"I don't actually remember. Strange though, I remember something about a monster tearing up a city; but I do not remember where I heard it from"
"I think you used to watch too many monster movies in your spare time before you got podded"
Both of them stare at each other, Scourge with a look of amusement with Harmony a look of confusion. A rough and quick cough breaks the slight tension, with Blake standing there.
"Time to go"
Scourge sighs heavily and gets up to join the others. "Now I'm really going to see my meal again"
In another area, hidden by a dense amount of trees lied an airship. Inside the ship's cock pit a large round man is seen having a conversation with a figure standing by a window.
"These 'others' you said earlier that you'd be bringing, do they actually exist? I'm starting to question your motives Leto"
"Doctor please, don't underestimate me nor our comrades" Leto turns his back to the doctor and stares out the window. He brings up his hand in a backwards high five and slowly lowers each of his fingers one by one. Eggman narrows his eyebrows in confusion, before the last finger is brought down a light appears.
"Woah, I managed to keep my dinner in"
"What?! What is the meaning of this?! Sonic? How'd you even get here?!" Eggman said shouting at Leto and pointing at him then back to the people who entered the room.
"Sonic? I highly doubt that I believe your glasses need to be changed old man. The name is Scourge" Scourge corrected him, tipping his hat at him and grinning at him over his glasses. " and the large sulky one is Blake and the lady is Harmony"
"These are the ones I mentioned to you, I gathered them to help" Leto said with a hint of authority still not tearing from the window.
"Huh, well I'm capable of getting things wrong in my old age. Just you reminded me of someone, wait I'm not old" Eggman exclaimed at Scourge who was snickering to himself.
"On the matter at hand, if I may intrude; you sent that idiot to release us. What is it that you require from us?" Blake interrupted while pointing at Scourge.
Leto turns around and starts to circle each of them. He stopped directly in front of Harmony, and handed her what looked like a piece of black fabric.
"A gift, however I would really appreciate it if you wore it"
Harmony looked at the fabric in his hand, to his face, turns and looks at Blake who gives a heartfelt nod and then back at the fabric. She decided to take it and spread it out in front of her. The fabric however wasn't a piece of fabric but a black choker with a small white stone attached. She merely smiles at him and fastened it around her neck. Scourge couldn't help but slightly notice that once it was around her neck both the stone on the choker and his cane flickered at the same time. He shunned it away and blamed the light. However Eggman questioned Leto on what everyone else was thinking.
"Seems a bit odd to give the girl a gift is it not?"
Leto stared at him, turned and approached a chair. He took of his hat, sat down crossed legged with the cane balancing on his lap.
"I do not know how long a lovely lady such as herself has been away from the world, I thought she deserved a gift. Ladies are worthy of gifts are they not?" He stated while staring at both Blake and Scourge, his head head tipped forward. "However on the matter at hand, before anything can really be done all seven Chaos Emeralds need to be brought together"
Eggman raised his eyebrow.
"You already told me that"
"It's for our new guests. Bring them together and a world where anything can go will be born."
"Me nor Harmony don't really care for what is that you plan for. But we do owe you our lives, so we are yours" Blake says to Leto while bowing, Harmony nods in a slight response.
Scourge steps in front of Leto and pockets his glasses.
"Seems a little easy"
"Well of course there is more to it obviously. More to it on a later date"
Eggman moves and stands to the side of Scourge.
"I think I prefer all information now, I've been slipped up before" He demanded.
Leto looks down at his cane and starts turning the white orb. He mutters something that no one else could hear, before picking up his head again. "Trust" was the word he replied back to Eggman, who backed away narrowing his eyes slightly but nodding.
"However I be doing the collecting as well." He got up and re-positioned his hat on his head. "I can only acquire two, the doctor already has one so three more need to be found" He moved over back to the window turned around at them all, he tips his hat at them. "Really no time limit at the present moment, but quicker the better is it not?" The dragon disappears in black smoke.
"Well it's the truth now that old handbag is defiantly shady" Scourge states to the rest.
"Do not be rude" Blake calls back to him in an angry manner.
Scourge holds up his hands in defense again.
"I get the feeling you don't like me that much"
Blake smirks at him.
"What was your first clue?"
"Sorry to break up a lovers tiff, but I do have a location of an emerald" Eggman interrupts them. He rummages through his pocket before taking out a bit of paper. He presents it to Harmony who was still staring at the spot where Leto disappeared from. Scourge bounds over to her side with Blake following suit.
"Is that a joke?" Scourge laughs at the paper after pinching it from Harmony's grasp.
"I wouldn't joke about it" Blake angrily states at Scourge after taking the paper back off him.
"Is it pronounced as rather strong?" Harmony questions Eggman in a more quiet voice than usual, staring at her now empty hands.
Eggman rubs the back of his neck and laughs quietly.
"So Big Dog can you get us to…where are we going exactly?" Scourge asks the doctor while leaning on Blakes shoulder, who was leering at him.
Eggman turns and heads towards his monitor. He bashes in a few buttons which brings up a map.
"Basically at the edge of this said ruin" He mentions to the trio while pointing at the map.
"Location taken, are you ready?" Blake says to Harmony.
She turned to him and smiled. She bowed to the doctor and walked to the direction of where Blake and Scourge now stood. Eggman threw a device in Scourge's direction.
"I can contact you through that, do try not to lose it"
Scourge eyes it up and rolled it around his fingers. He couldn't help notice that it looked awfully like a compact mirror.
"Why give this to me it looks a woman's object!"
"Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho, I think it be better in your hands"
Scourge was about to head off and throw it back at him before Harmony stopped him and pointed at the floor. He didn't notice but Blake started doing the teleportation cycle.
"Hey old man, can you watch us?"
"I can" was all Eggman replied.
"Then do it!" Scourge shouted at Eggman before they disappeared.
Eggman couldn't help but really notice that he really did remind him of the annoying blue pest, he also considered how they would feat against the pest himself. Taking Scourge's last request into account he decided to watch the outcome.
Sonic appears in the next chapter. :] I initially plan for the most majority of characters to appear in some shape or form.
