Chapter 7 Metal Confusion

(Metal's POV)

Why did he help me he hates sonic doesn't he... he saved him from me and then saved me from the others what has happened to scourge and with those enhancements i don't think i'll be able to beat him, he seems different i wonder if this has anything to do with the face he said he knows what it is like to be abandoned did everyone in Moebius hate scourge... no they couldn't could they he was their king he commanded respect and loyalty from his people and yet he returns here where he is no body. Why would he have those enhancements anyway it doesn't make sense, i have to understand.

(Scourges POV)

I was sitting in my house when metal burst through the door and stared at me.

"Ever heard of knocking?"

"Why did you help me?"

"I told you i know what it is like"

"How?"

I turned round to face metal and took a deep breath god i hated remembering what happened.

"It went like this... just like jet and you i was so obsessed with beating him that it tore my team apart from the inside out i ended up fighting against miles, alicia, patch i didn't give a shit about that guy was a pain, but you know the real reason why i hated patch so much" metal sat down and listened well to my story "it was because i was jealous i was jealous of patch because he was close to alicia more close than i could ever be... i mean emotionally not physically in case you got confused and because of that me and patch became arch enemies for as long as i can remember. Then when we lost against sonic and we returned to moebius they said i wasn't fit to lead them anymore and they were right i just didn't want to admit it, i watched as the girl i loved and my best friend miles left this was before i became scourge this was back when i was still anti-sonic. When i absorbed the chaos energy to turn me into scourge i still wasn't strong enough and it drove to the brink i hated it i turned on my own friends i turned on fiona but through it all and through me she stayed by my side i thought we could take on the world, i was an idiot because when we got sent to the no zone i realised how little she cared for me because she... well she did something to get out early and left me to rot in the slammer. I went into a fit of rage and killed my cell mate but because of my mental and emotional state they sent me to solitary confinement to think about what i had done and i thought about it long and hard i thought, after several weeks in that dark cell i started to feel weak and ill that was when i realised i had the degeneration" metal seemed confused at the term degeneration "after i got out i didn't let now i was ill and because i was starting to regret everything i did the zone cops let me come here to rehabilitate myself that's when blue made me realise i wasn't wanted anywhere i even contemplated jumping off a cliff to end it all but i never did so i built this house and made friends with a non Mobius wolf i call eclipse she's a good girl. When i was dying from the degeneration she got sonic and the others and i was ready to die and i apologised for everything i swallowed my ridicules pride and hatred for the guy and told him what i really needed to and i felt okay with it and that's when i died" it looked like metal went wide eyed at me "i'm not a ghost and by the look of me i bet you can guess how i am still standing if it wasn't for sonic rushing me to the hospital and tails and wave making the enhancements i would been dead for sure, they've given me a second chance though i am still earning their trust but my life is a hundred times better now even if i am not a king but to be honest i never really was one"

Metal hung his head and i noticed he was still hurting from the wound i gave him i knew he wouldn't admit it but i figured i had to help him, i wasn't very good with robots so i asked him some questions.

"So now you have heard the story of a fake king and an asshole tell me do you think you deserve a second chance?" i said with a grin

"..."

"*sigh* don't worry about it metal you take your time i guess it's harder for a robot but i'll tell you this if you need to talk just come and see me deal?"

Metal rose from his seat and walked to the door reattaching it to its hinges and before he left he spoke.

"It's a deal scourge"

Metal flew off into the sky and i had a smile on my face he may be a murderous psychotic killing machine but he knows now what could kill him, the servitude to eggman would be enough for me but he's a robot he reminds me a bit of omega to be honest but i do hope he'll be okay.

I threw on my hood and headed to angel island to pick up eclipse and i noticed metal was just flying south away from us i wondered where he was going but i knew that just like me he needed to clear his head.

(Tails POV)

I was sitting down on my computer when i heard wave scream, she came running out of the room me and scourge had made for her of course because of the fighting i forgot all about it and i think so did scourge.

"Tails what did you do?" she seemed happy

"You needed a room so i made you one" i said

"How did you get my stuff from the ark?" she asked

"I didn't scourge did the whole thing was his idea a thank you helping me save his life"

Wave looked dumbstruck she was surprised scourge would go through all that trouble but i had another secret for her.

"And it was scourge that convinced jet to apologise"

"He did all that.., for me?"

"He cares for you i guess he wanted to prove that you didn't make a mistake in helping him"

There was something different when i mentioned scourge wave seemed to literally skip a heart beat i think it was just from surprise.
