Ch.10
I apologize for the long wait guys, I have been very busy, you know like school, problems and stuff I have to deal with it to get it outta the way. Here's chapter 10!
"Fiona.. you shouldn't be drinking too much" Simon suggested, the red female fox was too busy putting that clear, burning liquid down through her esophagus leaving about 3/4 of it left at the bottom. When she set it down, she looks very fainted, eyes almost closed and she cannot sit still wobbling side to side. Not paying attention to him. "Uh Fiona?" Simon shake his hand in front of her face, which she didn't even responded to it until 6 seconds later. "Fiona?"
"Huh? What?" Fiona slurred, blindly looking at Simon "What do you want?" The gorilla can smell the strong alcohol from her breath, which he strained his face and exhaled forcibly through his nostrils "You shouldn't drink too much Fiona" he said then he snatched the bottle from the table "Hey!" Fiona exclaimed as she reached for it, but he kept the bottle away from her.
"Give it back!"
"No!"
"I said gimme!" She snarled
"No! Not until were done with the plan of getting Scourge out of the castle in Mobius!" he reminded her. The red fox sighed frustrated and banged her head on the table "Why? Why bother? She I mean he doesn't even like me! She mumbled then gaze up upon him. "I love him Simon!" Fiona yelled, with a remorse look on her face, her eyes became red and droopy "I love him, why he doesn't love me back? Why?" She hiccupped
Simon shrugged "I don't know Fiona. How bout you find out yourself?" He has never seen her like this ever. She doesn't seem the type of person that will emotionally breakdown in front of him.
"I can't!"
"Why not?"
Fiona kinda locked up for a bit, attempting to come up with something. Her mind is like a cloud and her speech is very slurred still "Because of that... *hiccup* stupid pink brat that stole my king! Mmmmmyyyy King! Scourge loves her! I'm not going to let some ugly bubblegum thing take him from me!"
She started to get up, but her legs and nerves in her body refused to cooperate, resulting in her stumbling around the room making a complete fool out of herself. The army gorilla began to snickered "She's intoxicated as hell, how many did she drink?" Then he looked under the table and spotted about 5 empty bottles already dried out.
She's been chugging these since they left the bar hours ago.
"Woah...perhaps she quenched too much I better stop her..." Simon glanced back to see the red fox now lying on the ground,a few feet away. He sighed walking to her and picking her up bridal-style. She was breathing heavily out of her mouth, the fumes forced Simon to exhale his nostrils again.
"Oh Fiona your obsession with Scourge is going to put your life at risk..."
Then the other Destructix members came in all noisy as a group of children "You did it!" yelled Lynx, running on fours "Nah uh! You did lightning boy!" Flying Frog crackled using his legs to hop around like a mad frog. "You both did it!" Predator screeched as he flew in
"Hey shut up! All of you!" Simon ordered. They all stopped automatically as they froze like statues "You did it" Flying whispered
"Hey Simon, why are you carrying Fiona?" Lynx pointed at the passed out fox who is snoring lightly
"Fiona passed out from drinking too much, so I'm putting her to sleep somewhere" Simon replied, walking away from them
"Well isn't that sweet big man?" Predator smudged a smile on his beak
He scoffed "Yeah whatever Predator, you don't know anything"
The three members glanced at each other and they went back to acting like a bunch of morons "You did it Flying!" Lynx yelled
"No way it was definitely you!" the crazy frog said
"You!"
"This may take a while..." Predator mumbled with his wing on his face
"Hey you three! Start training now, her orders!" Simon commanded as he bellowed from the other side. "Yes sir!" They exited off somewhere.
In the room it's very messy, windows with cracked glass, stuff either torn or falling apart and some weird writings on the walls. However there is a mattress on the floor, it's not the best as they are black stains at some places and not perfectly made up from the sheets. It didn't seem to mind him anyway.
The commando just gently laid her down on it,and stroke her red-velvet bangs across his fingers while he smiled "Sleep tight, tonight Scourge will be back on our side... and for just for your sake no more poisoning your body.." he said softly
"At least she didn't puke.."
Then he got up and left to where the others are located.
Moebius.. evening
"Ok everybody you all can call it a day now!" Scourge suddenly said. Everything in the gym has stopped moving at an instant as the rest took out what's left of the targets and some of them headed towards the exit when they're finished. Sweaty faces and heavy breathing were the results. Rosy has also left with them, which Scourge secretly thought she shouldn't leave. While they chatted up a storm as they're leaving.
But he sighed and laid his head back towards the stone wall looking very bored and anxious at once. The thoughts from earlier are still picking at him. Bit by bit. Lots of things going in his mind, but he wasn't sure of who he likes, Fiona or Rosy? Or declare the Squad his new family? Or not? Whatever these thoughts are it's very complicated. The very beautiful Chinese-looking graffiti on the curtains, the long-swaying white paper also has Chinese graffiti
Back in the day, again he never had any of these problems. At all. He was a tough hot-shot that get what he wants especially the girls. He was disliked by everybody except Fiona. He didn't give a crap about things.
Now, that he's soften up a bit and learned his mistakes, Scourge is becoming different of what he used to be and it actually put his life in a better way, it even got him to be a leader of the Squad again but not King of Moebius, he's ok with it though. Rosy is no longer hunting him down and trying to kill him since.
All he did was apologize.
Everyone is starting to like him little by little. He then memorized what Sonic said way back then when they fought again.
"All it takes is one bad day... and you'd be just like me..."
"No that's not it Scourge..." Sonic sweeped the ground and hit his feet, making him tumble to the ground
"Because all it will take is a bit of selflessness and a little bit of decency.. and you'd be just like me..." Sonic was proudly standing tall, smirking at the fallen Scourge as he look confused at him, struggling to speak, before being karate kicked by Fiona from aside
Is what Sonic said is true? He scoffed "Taking advice from that blue goofball..what am I thinking? Or perhaps I am?"
"Hey Scourge" Miles suddenly came up to him, making the green hedgehog off guard, but he looked at him "What's up Miles? How come you didn't leave with the others?"
"Decided to catch up with them later. Anyway, were going to attack the Prime Castle Acorn huh?" He asked
"We're not exactly attacking first but more like stealthy and sneaking in type of thing, as soon we hold the king hostage and those stuck up snobs come rushing in, that's when we'll attack" Scourge answered
"I know that, but what if we need someone to go under the entire castle?"
"Go under? For what?"
Miles reached in his bag he was carrying over his shoulder, and obtained a square object out. Scourge examined of not sure what it is "What is that?" He pointed at it. It has blue and red coiled wires, a small knob and a button. "It's a bomb that I made, this thing packs a lot of heat which it can even cause an entire castle crumble down"
"Go on..."
"So we can actually make someone go down under and he can plant explosive devices in the weakened areas of the place to be demolished when it blows up" Miles smirked which caused Scourge to smirk as well. Another thing that he likes. Is to blow stuff up
"Explode the castle into debris? Wow, pretty impressive idea Miles, how come I didn't think of that?"
"No clue, but anyway do we happen to know anybody who can dig really fast to put the explosives in time?" Miles wondered
Scourge pondered, squinting his eyes and shutting them tight. Opened them again. He knows who this dude is, sometimes he acts before he even thinks "I know someone who can dig really quick"
"Who?"
He suddenly frowned "Ya really have to ask?"

Later at Sunken Island...
"Scourge me lad!" Anti Knuckles or O'Nux, the guardian of the Island was giving Scourge the hardest noogie ever, it was burning his head feeling its about to burst into flames. He squinted his face in pain which is unbearable "It's been a while since I seen ye!"
"Ok! Ok! Ok! Enough!" Scourge barked, as he shoved him away the top of his head was scorched black, he was panting for his life. "Dude, don't do that anymore..."
"Sorry ya wee green hedgehog, what brings ye to my island?" O'Nux asked, in a thick fluent Irish accent
"To see the damn sights of this place!"
"Not bad place you should say?"
The Squad leader stroked the blackness off his head in distress which it disappeared "Um ok O'Nux.. do you remember your Prime twin from Mobius Prime?"
"Oi Knuckles? That drastic fool that looks like me?" He shows anger on his face when he said it. He doesn't really like his twin. All because he's a pacificist and he's not, the only huge difference between the two. Big whoop.
"Yeah him... well anyway will you like to help me and the Squad with something?"
"Ye Suppression Squad? I thought ya wee bastards were no longer together and you m'lad are not the leader anymore?"
"Well uh things have changed man, you living on this away from civilization type of land is making you not knowing anything that is happening in the world" Scourge said "Yes the Squad are still together, I became their leader again and gained two new members"
"Two members?"
"Yep, uh Buns Rabbot, the rabbit whose disease was cured a few months ago and she's not in that robot suit anymore and Rosy the Rascal"
O'Nux went pale for a minute "Rosy, the crazy lass? How could you?" He ran up to Scourge, grabbed his arms and shook him violently "How could you?!" Scourge's eyes was all wonky before shaking his head to normal "She stalks people and kills them, gone in the head I tell ye!"
"Don't worry Big Red, Rosy is not the same Rosy as you know, she's mentally stable, she doesn't hunt me down or wants to kill me anymore because basically she has me and the Squad themselves, so yeah" Scourge insisted
"Whatever you said laddy" His eyes were in fear as he looked away while his pupils are shooting side to side like ping-pong. "The lass is one slimy git!"
"So are ya gonna help us or not?" Scourge asked impatiently "And let go of my jacket"
"Ok fine with me, I'll help ya lads and lasses out what do I have to do?"
"Say can ya dig really fast underground?"
"Sure I can! Watch!" O'Nux let go of his arms, jumped up and dove to the ground using his knuckles to dig a really deep hole in the sand, throwing the dirt and sand everywhere. He was gone. But in a matter of few seconds, he clawed his way back to the surface on the other side and shot out of it. Scourge was amazed.
"So what ye make me dig for?" He landed on his feet in front of him
He smirked "Simple. Just follow me back to the castle and I'll explain more there..."
"Carry on!" O'Nux challenged "Last one to the castle is a rotten wanker!"
Then Scourge sped off and skidded across the surface of the ocean while O'Nux jumped and started to glide at high speeds back to the castle.

"And this is how you plant the explosives, just by pressing this button right here and turn the knob you understand?" Miles instructed, more like educating the Irish echidna, showing the same square bomb that packs a tremendous power with wires and coils hanging from the sides with a timer, a knob beside it to activate "Just stick it or throw on something to make it stick"
"Yes lad, I do, push the button and turn the knob or is it stick the button, push the knob, then turn it?"
"You just said it right the first time..." Miles muttered glumly
Scourge was cautiously watching the two as they continue with the bomb instruction and messing up. Even snickering at some points. "This plan is going to be fun..." he quietly said
"Hey Scourge" A female country-accent voice ranged out
Scourge looks and sees Buns happen to walk beside him. "Who's the red feller?"
"I don't think you met O'Nux haven't you?" Scourge asked
"Ah don't think so why is he here?"
"Were making him our demolition guy by planting bombs under the castle"
Buns smugged "Purty smart idea but he's looks like an interesting feller" Then she walked off. The leader was looking at her kinda of odd but he shrugged it off "By the way, he's a rotten wanker!"
"Ha!" Her laugh echoed.
"Hi Scourgey!" Scourge's heart went crazy in beats like drums, and his chest was tighten up in nervousness. He turned his head behind him and saw the soon-to-be love of his life standing there, smiling sweetly. He felt his cheeks burning red even hotter than O'Nux's head noogies. He gulped and stained to speak.
"H-h-h-hi Rosy..."
Mobius...evening time
"Tails! Knuckles! Man, I haven't seen you two in a good minute!" Sonic exclaimed as his two old friends, a two tailed fox and a grumbling echidna standing at the entrance
"You know it Sonic, I just wanted to stop by for a little visit for old time's sake" Tails said
"I see" Then Sonic noticed how grumpy Knuckles look with his arms crossed and angry eyes "Well well, looks like somebody doesn't want to visit a certain somebody"
"Dont push it, Sonic..." Knuckles stomped towards him, shoved him aside while entering the premises nearly making him fall
"What's up with him?"
"I don't know he's always been like this..."
"Anyway, anybody else comin-" He was cut off when he was shoved again this time by a crocodile. "Oh what up Sonic?" Vector greeted, followed by Espio and Charmy which they greeted too. Shadow and Amy showed up soon after.
"Hi Sonic!" Amy cheerily greeted
"Hey Faker..." Shadow mumbled
"Shadow don't be so rude!" Amy punched his arm
Sonic chuckled. "Well I'll see what they're up too" Tails flew away. Then two more Mobians came in.
"Bonjour Sonic!"
"Hey sugah-hog!"
The blue hedgehog waved at them happily "Yo Antoine and Bunnie, how you guys been?" He watched as the military wearing coyote and the no longer robotized rabbit strolled away. "Good" they both said
Finally the last person was the person Sonic wasn't excepting to see again. Rob'O. He walked in a fast pace away from him in hoping to avoid being seen. "Hey Rob! How are you?" Rob cringed a little. Sonic slammed the door with one hand. "You and I need to have a little chat.." Sonic threatened
"Oh crap..." Rob gulped
