"...Asher..." Scourge let out in a angry tone which made Manic worry. Asher takes another step towards the two, but Scourge took defense and holds his arm back to protect Manic.

"Why are you here!" Scourge growls at Asher

"I'm here..TO KILL YOU!!!" Asher rushes toward the two but Scourge was fast and pushes Manic out of the way. They stumbled a bit but they caught themselves.

"Scourge let's go! This dudes crazy!" Manic begged grabbing Scourges arm. But Scourge took stans and was ready to defend himself if he had to.

" I'M the crazy one, NO. If anyone's crazy here it's HIM...You Scourge...you took everything away from ME! You killed my Men, and among my men...you killed my brother...!" Asher runs toward them again the knife he had nearly got Manic but Scourge pushes him away from the fight. Manic falls against a wall but managed to keep himself up.

"You know that was your fault." Scourge chuckles a bit while walking toward Asher. "I gave you a choice, stay way and live, disobey me and die. Those were your picks, you! Just happens to pick the wrong ONE!" Scourge did a spin dash against Ashers stomach which destroyed him. Asher falls to the floor holding his gut. Scourge takes a step forward and sits by him, and said in a cold tone.

"This was YOUR fault!" Manic heard what Scourge said, Manic was in disbelief, Scourge wouldn't do that...right?.

Scourge got up and was about to walk toward Manic until...

SLASH—

Scourge stood in place not turning back or taking a step forward. Manic stared in horror at what he saw,

"...scourge..." Manic whispered

Scourge looked down at his stomach and and there was blood coming out of his shirt, before he can fall he said "damn it.." Manic looks at Scourge not knowing what to do. Asher stabbed Scourge. He bleeds more and more every second as he lays on the cold sidewalk. Asher smiles at what he did and he started to talk.

"I did it! I finally killed you...this is what you get for killing everyone else, you Monster!" Asher smiles, but then it goes away when he sees Manic, Asher takes a step forward and begins to say.

"Sorry. Young one you don't deserve this, but I don't need witnesses." Asher raises his hand that the knif is in and was about to stab Manic but Manic jumps out of the way, he wasn't going to go down that easy. Asher smiles and runs toward him, Manic gets in a alley way and starts to throw cans and box's at him, Asher just knocks them away. But Manic was still not gonna give up, Manic grabs a trash can lid and holds it up like a shield, he swings it hard and fast, he got a few hits on Asher, The faster Manic went the more hits he landed, then Manic grabbed the trash can and threw it on top of Ashers head and then kicked his legs to which Asher fell on the floor. Manic huffed in and out, but then relized Scourge was still hurt, he was about to rush off but then he heard Asher speak.

"That's IT I'm gonna kill you NOW!!" Asher grabs his knife and STABS Manic in his side...at least Asher thought it was Manic... no... it wasn't Manic. It was Scourge he took the blow..

"YOU!" Asher said taking out the knife, but before he can say anything else Scourge Pulls out his gun he had hiding in the back of his pants and points it to Ashers head.

"Don't you ever try and stab my friend!" Scourge growled Asher was about to beg for his life but Scourge pulled the trigger and let him fall to the floor. The sound of the gun made Manic jump, Scourge looks down at Ashers now dead body, Manic takes a step back and looks at Scourge not with horror...just shock. Then Scourge turned around to face Manic but he fell...

"Scourge!" Manic calls out while catching his friend, Manic holds him in his arms and looks down at Scourge.

"Why did you do that?" Manic asked

"He wasn't a n-nice guy..." Scourge shook out

"No. I mean why did you get in the way?" Manic said with tears in his eyes

"I couldn't let you get hurt... you mean to much, I couldn't let him kill you..." Scourge smiles looking at Manic. Manic just cry's holding his head down, Scourge then lifts one of his hands up to Manic's face and whips away one of his tears, Manic leans into Scourges hand and holds it there with his own hand.

"I can't let you die..." Manic said

"I won't...I just need to get home..."

"Okay...I'll take you.."

"Okay. But my gun, take it."

Manic nods and lifts Scourge up and carry's him to a car that is parked in the street, he unlocks it, climbs in and hot wires it. Then they are off.

Once they got to Scourges home Manic parks the car away from the house. Manic picks up Scourge and carry's him into his home.

"Does someone live here with you?" Manic asked

"No. I live alone..." Scourge whispers

Manic takes Scourge to his bedroom and puts him on his bed, and runs to get a towel and warm water and a needle and string. Scourge hissed when he moved his body.

" Are you okay?" Manic asked, scourge just smiled at how worried Manic looked.

"This is no time to be smiling!" Manic huffed

"It is the time. Cause you may never see me smile again~" scourge laughed a little. But this made Manic more upset. And he started to tear up again.

"Don't say that..." Manic cried, this made Scourge regret what he said. He shouldn't have said that, it's to early to make jokes. So Scourge places his hand on Manic's cheek and rubs it slowly.

"I'm not going anywhere..." Scourge smiles at him. Manic nods and pulls the gear he's gathered closer to him, Scourge sees the items and begins to panic.

"N-no." Scourge try's to get up but Manic holds him down with a little force.

"M-manic...no" Scourge begged, Manic just looked at him, he never seen him beg...it was kinda adorable.

"Scourge...please let me do this...you said nothing is wrong with your body, so why can't I just see for a few minutes?" Scourge stares at Manic, he didn't want Manic to see his chest, but he needed to see so he can help him...

"Fuck.." Scourge has fear and sadness in his eyes and it looked like he was about to cry cause his blue sapphire eyes light up even more. But Manic needed to do this to help his friend.

"Scourge I won't tell anyone."

"I just don't want you to see..."

"Scourge I've seen plenty tonight. Whatever is up with you, it won't matter.. just let me help you.." Scourge hesitated for a while he thinks about what Manic will say, but he couldn't be a sissy so he just had to man up and let Manic do what he needed to do...

"Okay.."

"Okay. Now..lift up you shirt..please..." god was it a awkward thing to ask. Scourge did as he was told but he didn't take it all off, but Manic did need the whole thing off cause one of the stab wounds was up closer to his chest area.

"The whole thing Scourge." All Scourge did was just nod not looking at Manic, he takes it off slowly so he wouldn't hurt himself, and when it was half way off, Manic saw what Scourge didn't want him to see...three deep cuts crossed his stomach, they were old but they still showed.. Manic looked up at Scourge, who just had a blank motionless face. Manic just did his job in silence, he didn't know what to say...
