Ch 3

The very next day...

"I want that disgusting green hedgehog dead, dad!"

It was a very cloudy day and the clouds looks like they're threaten to rain anytime but inside Castle Acorn, Sally was pacing around angrily in front of her father because the day's of Scourge's trial but she won't stop begging of giving Scourge the death sentence which she will enjoy seeing the sight of a hanging broken neck green hedgehog

"Sally, my dear, I understand the hatered towards him because I hate him as much as you do, but I have to follow the rules-"

"But you make the rules! Which means you don't have to follow them at all!" Sally yelled, looking at her father

"I know that but.." He searched for words but he couldn't but he doesn't want to displease his own flesh and blood daughter just because he didn't want to kill the hedgehog automatically

"It is Scourge's fate that will be decided at the trial, now my dear princess, I think you should go get rested up, your very stressed right now"

With that said, she stormed out of the room yelling "I cannot do anything!" In the hallway, she brushed by Sonic, who has just woke up at this time

"Sally? You ok babe?" Sonic asked

"Get outta my way, blue boy" Sally pushed him aside quite rough

"Oof!"

Sonic was both puzzled and a bit mad the way she was acting, crossing his arms and tapping his foot

"Well, looks like someone's on their peri-"

"If you dare finish that sentence, I'll strangle you murderously when your sleeping!" Sally barked

"Ok I'll shut up" he said quickly

Sonic suddenly has a scared expression his face as he flatten down his ears. He gulped and decided to follow her behind, he can tell he's in for a rough day

Somewhere else...

An ebony and red hedgehog by the name of Shadow is standing quietly, alone, on top of a hill observing the surroundings and the around, arms crossed. Staring up at the darken gray cloud covered sky, wondering what's out there.

"Oh Shadow!"

"Hmm?" Shadow quickly turn to the direction of the voice that said his name. And standing there is a pink hedgehog. Amy has a very cheerful smile as she walked towards him. A smile so bright that even suprisingly Shadow lets a small smile creeping on his face as she approached.

"Hey Rose, what's up?" Shadow said

"Oh nothing, I just came here to see you before everybody goes to Scourge's trial" Amy replied very sweetly

"Scourge's trial huh? About time that green faker is about to be hanged"

"Yeah, I know, but I don't care"

Shadow chuckled "Come here you" He ran and hugged Amy which she giggled, then she took her foot and tripped Shadow, causing him to swept off his feet and hit the ground with her on top of him. He laughed, then he grabbed her waist and flipped her over. They laughed like crazy. Shadow press his lips against hers as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Yep, they're obivously dating.

Meanwhile...later

Sonic stepped in the dirty prison, where his dirty green counterpart, is sitting on his bed waiting, not seeing his mischevious grin as he walked to the prison door. Even though he can't see his grin, but Sonic knows he's planning something but he unlocked the door anyway.

"Hey, Scourge, you gonna behave?" Sonic asked firmly

Scourge scoffed, "Sure blue, I'll behave" he said with an evil smirk

Sonic was suprised a bit, but he closed the door behind him, "Ok then hold out your hands then"

Scourge did what he asked, but his eyes seem to let out a strange gleam from them. And it caught Sonic off guard. In a flash, Scourge grabbed Sonic, spun him around, grabbed his arm pinning it against his back and on the bed.

Sonic struggles as he trying to free himself from his grasp, but the position he's in made it nearly impossible.

"You really think I was going to behave? Ha! You make me laugh, blue boy" Scourge retorted

Sonic continued to struggle, but he already came up with something "Well, green bean, looks you finally got me this time, I'm impressed"

"Huh?" Scourge was confused and let his guard down, which is enough for Sonic to elbow Scourge in the face, and did the same thing what Scourge did.

"Now your going to behave or not?"

Scourge didnt reply

"Come on" He handcuffed Scourge, and they walked out of the cell, into a different direction. In that direction, is another heavy wooden rotten door, with squeaks alot when its opened, leading into the courtyard where everybody in Mobius, possibly even more is there. They all have either torches or pitch forks. They all shouted and cursed

But Scourge didnt seem to care as he smiled "What's up,everybody?" Nobody replied. "Working hard or hardly working?"

Then it started to rain. "Shut up, Scourge" Sonic threatened " "Make me, moron"

Then the next thing you know, they reach the wet wooden stand, which both hedgehogs climbed up the stairs, and Scourge suddenly was forced down to his knees in front of the Mobian king and his daughter, which make him groaned as he can't being around Sally because of how spoiled and bratty she is, unlike her counterpart.

"He's all yours, sir" Sonic said "Thank you, Sonic" said the king. With that, Sonic left downstairs.

The king raised his hand, and the crowd went dead silent. He cleared his throat.

"Scourge the hedgehog, the "so called" king of Moebius" He announced

Scourge scoffed "Yeah, that's me, but don't wear it out, gram-"

"Silence!" He interrupted "You have been doing nothing but evil, which is very pitiful for you, for have you come damaged the other zones, even conquering your own zone, and claiming that you woke it up, and matter of days, you make yourself "king"... that tells me that your lower than the rest of the population, trying to prove your better than Sonic, which will never happen, with him around you can never conquer our zone"

Scourge soon became bored with his speech, he ran his fingers over the metal of the handcuffs and found something that makes his evil smirk creeping back on his face. A slight crack on the handcuff chain, which can be easily broken with a pull.

"You know what, Scourge? Face it, your a nobody... and will never be a somebody, a coward and a bully with an empty shell with no soul is what you be. Nobody, and I mean nobody cares, loves or like you, be a lonely wolf forever"

The words, for a very strange reason, hurt the green hedgehog mentally and somewhat emotionally, as they got into his head, but he pretend he didn't hear it. Suddenly, he break the handcuffs in half, and the crowd gasped in horror as he leaped into the air and crashed into the king, making him fall.

"You wanna finish that speech of yours or we can settle this nice and easy?"

"SCOURGE!"

Scourge glanced back, and went pale as he saw Rosy with her green, spiked hammer running at full speed towards him. Scourge looked at the king again, growled and punched him in the face, ran pushing Sally down and spin dashed into the gray concrete brick wall, busted a hole, and sped off like a bullet into the heavily forested area miles south from the Acorn Castle. He escaped.

Several minutes later...

Scourge was dashing through the heavily poured down forest as he sturggled to see due to the water splashing into his eyes from the rain. He dodged a tree and a big boulder, here and there, avoiding many thorn covered plants that gets in his way. Just trying to get away from society, especially them. But as he's running the king's words echo in his head, but he shakes it off. He has found a big tree with a very wide trunk he can hide behind.

Scourge was panting heavily, resting against the tree trunk, he looked back around to see if anybody is chasing after him, they might as well. He begin to calm down, taking deep breaths "Whew! That was... kinda easy... ha..." he laughed nervously.

Then he looked in front of him, and there was a blue, glowing, sparkling river which is weird, supposed to be gray like other rivers should be. But he went to it, and went to his knees, scooped up water with his hand, brought it to his lips and drank it. It was very soothing as he never had a drink since he was first captured at home. His ears were scanning for any signs of danger. The third scoop he took, he heard a twig snapped, he looked back in a defense stance, eyes looking around...

Nothing.

He went to back to drinking the third time, but as soon when the water touched his lips... a pink blur suddenly flashed and hit the defenseless green hedgehog, causing them to fall into the river. And the bad thing is... the pink blur is trying to drown him...

That was chapter 3. This was supposed to be up a long time ago, but eh high school took alot of my free time away, so yeah so except some really slow updates and I apologize if the chapter seems rushed. See y'all later!
