ANTI-HERO

By

The Shattered Evoker

Scourge The Hedgehog..... The anti-Sonic, The once Ruler of Moebius, Son of Anti-Jules who brought the Great Peace.... We all know who he is and what he's done but we never knew what was he going to do and what actions have he held back since the downfall of his father. It was clear that he rebelled because he was neglected to the point that he was almost forgotten but...... was he really a black sheep?

The wind was picking up as the storm slowly came by, Super Scourge was floating in the air, his head held high and he had a grin that showed his sharp fangs. Opposite him was his rival and alter-ego, Sonic The Hedgehog who also was in his super form, frowning at the now purple Hedgehog.

Fiona was in the hospital, giving birth to his son so there was no backup for Scourge even though he took the side job of working for Dr. Eggman.

"Out of my way Scourge! I'm going to scrap Eggman's little science project!" Shouted Super Sonic, moving a hand to the side.

Super Scourge smirked "Too bad Sonic, as much as I want to see getting Eggman's little science project getting ruined by you, I don't want to miss this chance of proving that I'm better than you!" he pointed a finger at Sonic, Showing that he was serious about a rematch since his defeat at Moebius.

"Ever since I fell in your trap, you didn't know how ashamed I was!" He shouted at Super Sonic, his ruby red eyes not leaving his opponent "So now I'm going to take every chance there is to defeat you!"

As thunder crackled, Super Scourge lunged at his opponent. He waited for this moment, after years of careful planning and a whole lot of swearing, he finally found a match between themselves to prove who was best.

It was Mobius versus Moebius.

Chaos Emerald versus Anarchy Beryl.

Hedgehog versus Hedgehog.

Alter-Ego versus Alter-Ego.

but more importantly........

It was Sonic Versus Scourge.

Rain poured over the two Hedgehogs that fought relentlessly, neither side was showing any sign of weakness, the longer the battle ensued, the greater Scourge wanted to defeat Sonic. Every punch and kick that he gave were filled with his sadness, loathe and anger, he deserved this revenge. If it weren't for Sonic he would've ruled the two worlds by now and if they won't give him the respect that he deserved then he would just leave and find a planet where people would appreciate him...

Super Scourge clenched his teeth harder as that thought shot through his mind, he was always forgotten and left alone as if he didn't exist. After his escape at No Zone prison, he had the hard time of making it up to Fiona but in the end it paid off, Although he couldn't believe that she was still supportive of him even after the after-events.

Damn..... I don't deserve it.... but still......

He hurled a punch at Super Sonic but missed, he then followed this up with a kick which landed and he tried to connect it.

Everything was because of you!He managed to punch Super Sonic in the face and smiled at this mere achievement. You wanted everything for yourself just like HE did!

Super Scourge grabbed Super Sonic by the leg and slammed him to the fortified wall of Eggman's fortress, ending with a loud THUD! It wasn't long before the Blue Blur finally powered down and became a normal Sonic. He didn't waste any time and grabbed Sonic by the neck and punched him hard in the guts, He remembered what his alter-ego said about him having a boost each time he powered down so now he took the initiative.

"Maybe you should've kept it a secret, Sonic!" he threw Sonic to the ground, his body full of gashes and bruises "Well too bad isn't it?! if you kept it a secret about your boost them you could've cheated and tricked me again"

Super Scourge took the liberty of walking slowly towards his prey as if mocking him that the reaper has now come for him.

"I beat you fair and square Sonic! We both started with our Super Forms and I never used any cheating method or foul play"

Sonic didn't move, he was too injured to even notice that Scourge was coming.

"Heh" Super Scourge grabbed him by the neck and held him up, the red eyes met the green "This is the end for you..... Sonic the Hedgehog" Just as he was about to kill Sonic, a large earthquake occurred.

"What the hell!?" Shouted Super Scourge as he dropped Sonic from his grasp.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, A large portal appeared over Eggman's fortress. It was a swirling black hole with flowing purple colors, electricity busted out of the portal's edges signifying its instability.

Seconds later, Sonic and Super Scourge could hear Eggman's nefarious laugh and his voice was heard through a massive megaphone-like devices that were installed in the fortress walls "Sonic! I knew that you would defeat Scourge so with my brilliant mind I devised a plan to get rid of you!"

Super Scourge gritted his teeth and frowned at what he heard "DAMN YOU EGGMAN! I JUST DEFEATED HIM YOU POOR EXCUSE FOR A VILLAIN!" he shouted but he knew that Eggman wasn't listening and even if there was some way that he could hear him, The

Storm and thunder would just shut them out.

"Sonic!" Eggman spoke once again with the voice of certainty "The portal that you see over my castle is the worst dilemma that you've ever encountered so let me explain, That portal is erasing the dimensional fabric of the worlds and sooner or later, it will consume everything!" The Doctor laugh again.

Sonic stood up limpingly and listened.

"The only way to stop it is for a being with highly concentrated Chaos energy flowing within them to sacrifice himself and disrupt the dimensional corruption! Would you save the world Sonic at the cost of your death or do you want to give up?!" asked Eggman "I've lost too many times so now I have to do it the hard way"

It was a bad situation, Sonic had already reverted to his normal form and the Chaos Emeralds were too far away.

"Tsk..... Bastard!" Super Scourge shouted "So that was his plan, for me to give him time.... with you out of the way he'd conquer the world if not destroy it out of desperation"

Sonic nodded "Scourge, I hate to say this but can we continue this some other time?" he asked.

There was a loud BANG! AND CRACKLE! the Dimensional hole was growing by the second at an alarming rate and an Egg-carrier flew out of the fortress.

"I'll have to get the Chaos Emeralds and go Super aga-" Sonic was punched by Super Scourge, causing him to fall to the ground.

"Either way, it'll be too late once you come back here" Said Scourge charging himself up.

Sonic groaned in pain and looked up at Super Scourge "What are you going to do?"

"Something stupid, I said I hate this world but not to the point where I want it destroyed. I'd rather see Mobius being ruled by some idiot rather than seeing it destroyed" Scourge took a few steps forward away from Sonic, still smiling even though he was facing the end.

"You've changed Scourge" Sonic said as he sat up "Maybe it's true that you're Anti-Jules' son after all"

That comment made Super Scourge laugh loudly "Me? wanting the great peace?......" he turned to Sonic with a grin "SCREW YOU! So what if I saved the world once? It doesn't make any difference. Even though I'm gone, there's someone already next in line for the throne and I assure you Sonic... He'll be Stronger, faster, More intelligent and Greater than his oldman!"

Super Scourge started to levitate and looked one again at the dimensional hole "You owe a great debt to me Sonic... sadly, I won't be here to come and collect it..... Take care of Fiona for me" He then flew away towards the Dimensional hole and charged for one last strike.

You don't know what family can do to a Villain.........

"THIS IS WHERE I MAKE MY MARK!" He gave all of his power into that one last punch and struck the Dimensional Hole as if it was some punching wall "RAAAAGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He pushed onwards and he later realized that he was slowly fading away, his hatred... sadness.... and envy...... all disappeared so suddenly.

There was a blast of light....... And Scourge was gone.

In the hospital, Fiona was given their son, the offspring of Scourge the Hedgehog. She smiled at the infant who had almost the same features of his father, Green Fur, Sharp fangs..... he also had a birthmark on his chest that resembled Scourge's scars.

Fiona giggled at the thought.

"Welcome to the World....... Blight"
