Rise Of The New Generation: Chapter 11 – An Uneasy Deal

-Anti Mobius-

A few weeks after Siege recovers from his injuries Scourge begins to train him in various fighting styles and techniques. However, whenever Siege decided he wanted to stop, Scourge would beat him into training again. Siege was learning how to fight better, but he was also beginning to tire of Scourge abusing him into learning how to fight.

So one day after another round of abuse and training, Siege went toward the exit of the cave. Queen Mya looked over at him. "Where are you going?"

Siege already had his answer prepared. "Going to do a little spy work on our enemies."

Mya walked over and hugged him. "Alice told me about what Scourge was doing to you."

Siege looked around before dropping his voice to a whisper. "I'm going to try and strike a deal or at least an agreement of some kind with the good guys. I'm tired of Dad sitting there and beating me into training after I'm tired."

Mya nods and drops her voice too. "My husband has gone insane with his obsession to kill Sonic. I love him dearly, but I won't risk my children so he can win."

Siege looks around again. "If he asks, tell him I'm spying on our enemies okay?"

Mya nods again. "Go, before your father shows up."

Siege looked around one more time before leaving, making sure his tracks were covered.

-Mobius-

Sonic is packing his and Amy's bags in their room while Amy talks to Chase and Amelia. "Now kids, I need you to do exactly what Blaze, Silver, Tails, and all your elders tell you to while Sonikku and I are off celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary."

Chase nods. "Don't worry Mom, we'll be fine. I'm quickly learning how to control the Sol Emeralds and Blaze is going to start teaching me more advanced stuff today."

Blaze nods. "Chase is learning quite well, and I have to admit I'm impressed with how quickly he's learning what I'm teaching."

Chase smiles. "Thanks Blaze."

Sonic walks into the room with the bags in hand and nods to Amy, his signal that he was ready. He still can't talk because of his injury, but he's recovering quickly. Amy kisses her kids and waves goodbye to everyone as she leaves with Sonic.

Silver looks at Chase. "Once you're ready Chase, Blaze will continue your training outside."

After they leave Tails brings Silver to one of the guest rooms in the house. "Now before Aleena, Manic, and Sonia arrive later this week, I want to make some progress on these weapons and I need your opinion."

Silver frowns. "Weren't they here already?"

Tails nods. "Yeah, but you know as well as I do that you can't ever see enough of your family."

Silver shrugs. "If you say so. Anyway, how are the weapons coming?"

The fox picks up a weapon and gives it to the silver hedgehog. "This here is an upgraded prototype of the weapon Siege attacked us with on Angel Island."

Silver takes the weapon and looks it over. "You've been hard at work haven't you? Let's see here... Hmmm... It's the same design... Looks like you've added space for ammunition..."

Tails nods. "Instead of being just an invisible ray gun thing, it's also a real gun."

Silver nods as he examines the weapon some more. "Go ahead and make the real thing Tails. I'll help you of course. We're going to need probably fifteen to twenty of these guns. Some will be for the adults, and some will be extras, just in case."

Tails nods. "I need to take a break for a minute or two."

Silver nods. "Go ahead. I'll work on some of the weapons."

Tails doesn't reply or hear him because he's already asleep on the bed. Silver chuckles and goes to work on making the weapons.

-A few hours later-

Silver comes into the back yard and whispers something to Blaze. She frowns a little and nods before calling into the air. "Chase? Where are you?"

Chase arrives as if he heard her, glowing an orange color with flames dancing around him. "Sorry. I've never been to Brazil, so I took a short trip. Is everything okay?"

He returns to his normal blue color as Silver answers. "We have a visitor."

Chase crosses his arms. "Someone we're familiar with?"

Silver nods and leads Chase inside with Blaze behind Chase. "You'll know who they are."

Chase comes in and growls. "Siege."

His green counterpart looks at him, showing no fear. "Chase."

Chase isn't impressed. "Why are you here?"

Siege sighs. "Well, I'm here to strike a deal with you."

Tails frowns. "Forget it. You're just trying to trick us. Silver, toss him out please."

Tikal and Knuckles agree as Silver escorts Siege to the door. However, Chase steps in front of them. "Stop."

Shadow frowns. "Chase what are you doing?"

Chase looks at Knuckles. "Knuckles, search him for weapons please. Try not to miss anything. Silver, hold Siege in place please."

Siege protests as he's searched, and after a backup search from Shadow, the black hedgehog sits the green one down on the couch. "He's clean, but why did you allow him to stay?"

Chase looks at Siege. "He has no weapons, which means he didn't come to fight."

Siege rolls his eyes. "Yeah no duh. If I wanted to fight I'd be doing it by now."

Knuckles frowns. "Shadow's question remains unanswered Chase. Why is Siege still here?"

Tails answers the red echidna. "It's because I left Chase in charge while Sonic recovered. Sonic hasn't fully recovered yet even though he's out of the hospital."

Chase pulls up a chair and sits across from Siege. "If you try any dirty tricks, you'll leave in a body bag. Got it?"

Siege nods. "As I said before, I'm here to try and strike a deal with you. You see, my father Scourge is training me to fight better. Granted it's working, but he keeps beating me when I want to stop."

Chase nods. "So what deal are you hoping to make?"

Siege shrugs. "Dad has gone insane with his obsession to kill Sonic, and he's willing to do anything it takes to do so, even if it means losing his wife and kids. So if Scourge can be taken down, I'm willing to help you do it."

Shadow crosses his arms. "So you're willing to turn on your own father to help us?"

Siege grins. "Look, I hate you guys, but I'm not stupid. I'm not going to allow him to keep abusing his family just so he can take Sonic down."

Chase nods. "So basically you want to help us take Scourge down?"

Siege shrugs again. "I'll still have to fight you just to keep Dad convinced I haven't planned this ahead of time. I guess I'm still on his side, but there are other ways to go about universal domination."

Chase stands up. "Give us a few minutes."

Chase, Amelia, and the adults present hold a whispered conference and keep looking over at Siege. After what seemed like an eternity to Siege, the huddle broke and Chase turned to him. "Alright. The only way we can trust you is if you follow through with this. Otherwise you're still regarded as an enemy."

Siege nods and stands up. "I won't let you down."

Shadow mumbles. "We'll see."

After Siege leaves Blaze looks at Chase. "Are you sure we can trust him?"

Chase looks back at her. "Sometimes a hero needs an unlikely ally to help him win a battle. No, I don't think we can trust him, but Siege may wind up being the one thing that keeps us all alive... IF he goes through with his plan."

-Anti Mobius-

Queen Mya and Alice are waiting when Siege arrives. They hug him as he looks around. "Is Dad nearby?"

Alice shakes her head. "No. What did Chase say?"

Siege talks in a whisper. "I'll have to convince them I mean well. We also have to keep everyone else oblivious to this."

Eggman-Nega comes over. "Oh there you are Siege. King Scourge is waiting for you so you can begin your next training session."

Siege nods. "I'll be there in a few minutes."

Eggman-Nega leaves and Siege whispers to Mya and Alice. "Not a word to anyone. Got it?"

The women nod and Siege leaves to go train with Scourge. Alice looks at Queen Mya. "Do you think this will work? If Dad finds out about this then he'll hurt us all."

Queen Mya nods and sighs. "That's why we must make sure Scourge never finds out about this deal that Siege has made."
