Chapter 9 Old wounds

(Scourges POV)

I was running through the forest heading to the meeting place if i didn't know any better i'd say this was a trap and i knew it was so i happened to my have my old white gloves on me so i placed them on my hands zipped up my jacket and pulled the hood over my face to cover the cybernetics. I heard them talking as i stopped i took a look through the trees and sure enough they all were there, i took a deep breath and walked out from behind the tree but not out of the shadows.

"You've got a lot of nerve to come here" i said in my serious voice

"Is that any way to say hi to an old lover?" the red fox said

"It is if it's you" i said blinking my eyes

"My scourge what happened to your jacket?" the gold twin tails fox said

"I cut it up and burnt it" i said with a sharp toothed grin

I knew something was up seeing as not everyone of them was here and yet i saw all of them not few minutes so where were they then i heard it the unmistakable sound of a leather whip, i quickly took a step back to avoid alicia's whip and then garbing onto the end i threw her into boomer.

I wanted to finish them there and then but i had to buy my time for my radar said someone was coming.

"You know scourge you haven't change no matter where you are" miles said

"Oh really and what would you know of change" i replied

"We know you still want to beat sonic" Fiona said

"No i don't that part of me died when i was thrown in the no zone!" i said clenching my right hand

"Yeah right you're still the same scourge" patch said

"Oh am i patch well tell me" i removed my jacket and threw it to the ground and removed my gloves so i bare chested now "do i look the fucking same?" i walked out of the shadows and they all gasped at how i looked

"What happened to you scourge?" Alicia said

"I grew up" i said

"Scourge i" Fiona started

"SHUT UP! I know exactly what you did left me to rot inside the prison which is the reason i look like this now, if it wasn't for tails, sonic and wave i would be dead now!" my rage was building

"Scourge"

"Oh shut up i realised something while i was sitting alone in that dark room i realised how little a team we were, we were never friends i too much of a dickhead to notice but i'm different now and i don't need you guys anymore!"

I stood there as alicia and fiona looked like they were about to cry patch had a dark grin on his face while boomer and miles didn't know what to think, that's when patch took a step forward and grinned at me for some reason i had a feeling this was a good thing for him.

"So you were too weak to survive in the no zone so you caught the degeneration"

I never told him or any of them about the degeneration so how did he... he did it he created the degeneration as an attempt to kill me patch you rat bastard!

"You did this to me!"

"Bingo scourgeie boy"

I clenched my right hand and a red glow started to emit from it, it was only faint so it couldn't be seen and soon i let my rave consume me.

"YOU BASTARD!"

I fired a red energy beam out of my right hand and it cut right through patch burning a hole right through his chest and yet he stood, i lost now lost a raging beast with no end i ran at patch and straightened out my hand like you do when you play slaps. I slashed my hand across patches neck making it cut in half his head landed on the left and his body fell in front of him my hand was covered in his blood as i stood ad grinned with my sharp teeth, i looked at the others and started to laugh evilly.

"I've always wanted to do that to that bastard now whose next!"

Boomer fired two flame throwers at me but i jumped into the air and used my spin dash to kick the guy right centre of the skull and then using my right hand again i grabbed his right arm and ripped it off, i noticed how sharp the bone was and wasted no time and forcing it through the bastards skull he fell to the floor lifeless as a psychotic look emerged on my face the blood lust was back and i was enjoying it. Only miles, Fiona and Alicia were left and i cracked my knuckles just as miles flew at me.

Pathetic! I did a back hand stand and slammed my feet into his face then connecting with a powerful punch to the gut with my left hand i followed up with a elbow to his left ribs with my right arm, he fell to the ground where i grabbed him by the scruff of the collar and punched him repeatedly with my right hand breaking his face badly when i was about to deliver the final punch i heard something i didn't expect.

"NOOOOO!" her voice was so fearful and saddened

I turned my head to see alicia crying over what i had done to miles it was then it hit me miles and alicia had always been close i was just blind to see it now not only were they the leaders of the suppression squad they were lovers and i was... suddenly the raging monster that was tearing apart my insides disappeared and i regained my composer. I stood and helped miles to his feet i hung my head in shame as my hands dipped with the blood i hand spilled i walked to my jacket and gloves putting them back on.

"Scourge we're sorry" miles said

"Me too miles do yourselves a favour and never return, this is my home now and i don't need the past ruining it"

My voice was cold as ice and as i walked away i felt someone grab my bloody hand and turn me around, it was Fiona and she was teary eyed i was beginning to feel incredibly guilty.

"What?"

Once again my voice was as cold and cruel as ice but she pressed her lips against mine and wrapped her tongue around mine, i felt her embrace as i have so many times before back then it filled me with joy and lust but now it just hurt it reminded me of what should be dead and forgotten. I came to my senses and pushed her off keeping my head down i spoke but with a quieter tone.

"Fiona this isn't going to work, i'm not who i used to be and i want to forget it all i want to forget moebius i want to forget the SS i want to forget you! And this isn't helping me at all Fiona i'm sorry"

I sped off back to my house and heard her shout my name and break down in tears now i really did hurt myself i never wanted to hurt her no matter what she has don but i am not who i used to be, i got back to my house and walked in placed my clothes folding on the box with my sneakers by the door and my gloves on top of my clothes. Getting under the covers i fell to sleep but peaceful it wasn't.
