Chapter Three: The Capture Commences
The wedding was interrupted by a mysterious green hedgehog, who had just appeared at the entrance way. Sonic revealed this to be Prince Scourge. He was making his way towards Sonic.
"What are you doing here, Scourge? You have no right being here!" Sonic snapped. Scourge chuckles.
"Sonic, I'm heartbroken! I'm so offended that I was never sent an invitation to this day." Scourge sarcastically stated.
"But either way, how dare you come and disrespect my son's wedding ceremony!" Jules angrily yelled.
"Shut up, old man! I wasn't talking to you!" Scourge snapped. When he turned around, Amy slaps Scourge violently around the face.
"You dare to come here, and ruin our wedding day? You should feel ashamed of yourself, Scourge! Now I'm going to ask this once, please leave!" Amy demanded.
"But why marry Sonic?" Scourge asked, as he rubbed his face, with an angry frown.
"Because she loves me, and I love her." Sonic replied, sternly.
"But, you knew I liked Amy! I told you this when we were children!" Scourge snapped.
"Well, I'm sorry Scourge. Love doesn't work like that. You may be in love with me, but I'm not in love with you. I love Sonic. Either except that, or leave!" Amy demanded again.
"But Amy...!" Scourge started, but Knuckles made his way in front of Scourge.
"You better do what she says, otherwise I'll have you personally removed by force!" Knuckles warned.
"Oh really, Knuckles?! You and what army?!" Scourge smiles evilly.
"MY army!" Knuckles told him.
"Oh! You mean all those men out there, that my men have just murdered? Well, that's not going to be an issue for me. GUARDS!" Scourge called out.
After that, a huge army of guards invaded the castle, and held all the Kings and Queens held in place, one guard knocked Tails unconscious, another shot an arrow at Knuckles, and had him pinned to a wall. All the other remaining guards surrounded Sonic and Amy. Everyone who was in the seats were scared, and ran away from the intrusion.
"Scourge, don't do anything stupid here! Is it seriously worth all this?! Just to prove a point?! You're proving nothing from this, Scourge! You're just proving to be nothing but the spoiled bastard, that everyone has known you for being!" Sonic told him, with anger.
But out of nowhere, a guard was sneaking behind Sonic, and he knocked Sonic out with a staff. Amy screamed in terror. And the other guards grabbed Amy. Amy tried struggling free, but it was no use. The guards were too strong for Amy to break free.
"Guards, take her to the ship! And lock her in the cell!" Scourge demanded.
"Yes, Sire!" the guards replied.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!" Amy shrieked in fear.
"AMELIA! MY BABY! WHERE ARE YOU TAKING HER?!" Angelica yelled.
"AMELIA!" Alfred pleaded, as he could only watch the guards take her away.
Right now, Scourge and his army of men carried Amy away, and made their way towards the ship. Once they got on the ship, the guards carried Amy towards the cell, and threw her inside. They closed the doors, and locked it so that Amy couldn't get out. Amy was banging on the door very loudly.
"HEY! LET ME OUT OF HERE! SCOURGE! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! LET ME OUT!" Amy shrieked. Scourge only looked inside the cells.
"I can, and I will! Now Sonic gets to suffer the same pain he left me in, when he stole your heart from me!" Scourge snarled.
"Why are you doing this?! What do you want from me?!" Amy pleaded.
"Oh, I am not going to hurt you, don't worry. But I will leave you with a choice that you cannot refuse! What that is, you'll have to find out!" Scourge told her, and closed the slide window, leaving Amy in pitch black. Amy fell to her knees, and started crying uncontrollably.
"Why? Why did this have to happen? On my wedding day, of all things! Please, don't let my fate end this way! Please Sonic, come save me!" Amy pleaded. Back with Scourge, he was making his way into his quarters.
"Fang! How long until we get back to Antitropolis again?" Scourge asked.
"Uh, we will arrive there in approximately 10 hours, Sire." Fang replied.
"Good, good." Scourge stated.
"Anything you want help with, Sire?" Fang asked.
"No, I'm good." Scourge replied.
"What about the Princess?" Fang asked again. Scourge laughs evilly.
"No need to worry about her. She's not going anywhere." he chuckles.
"Alright, Sire. I shall let you know, when we are close to home." Fang bowed, and made his way to the wheel to steer the ship.
"Right, I need some peace now. I need to clear my head. All these years I have suffered, and now Sonic is finally getting some pain! Now, I need to speak with my friend, that I've had since childhood." Scourge stated.
He now enters his quarters, which was pitch black. He lights up some lanterns with some matches. When he finished, he made his way towards the window, and stared outside. It was raining heavily, and thunder and lightning started to happen.

(Scourge singing)
Hello, darkness, my dear friend.
I came to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
left their seeds while I was sleeping
And the visions that were planted in my brain
It always remains
Within the sound of silence
.
But sleepless nights I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Neath the halos of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
Then my eyes were stabbed by the flash of the neon light
And splits the night
And touched the sound of silence
.
Then in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, probably more
People talking though they're not speaking
People hearing though they're not listening
People writing songs that voices do not share
And nobody dares
Disturb the sound of silence
.
Fools said, "Oh, you do not know"
Silence like the cancer grows
With my words that I might teach you
Take my arms so that I might reach you
But my words like silent raindrops that fell
And it echoes in the wells of silence
.
All the people bowed and prayed
To their Neon Gods they've made
And their signs flashed out all his warnings
In his words that it was forming
And their signs said "The words of the prophets
They are written on the subway walls"
And the tenement halls
And whispers in the sounds of silence
.
Ten hours have now passed since Scourge captured Amy. Fang then came into the room to alert Scourge.
"Sorry to interrupt, Sire. But I am just letting you know that we have now arrived home in Antitropolis." Fang explained. Scourge laughs evilly.
"Excellent!" Scourge stated.
