" Scourge? What kind of a name is that!? Then again what kind of a name is Silver. He does kind of look like Faker though. " I though. The green hedgehog's black jacket had somehow stayed unharmed. He also had some weird metal collar around his neck. He had something that looked like a green chaos emerald hanging on it the same color as his quills. Except it wasn't a chaos emerald, it was too small to be one. I also noticed he had similar markings to Sonic, except instead of cyan they were lime green. I couldn't help but gaze at the large scar on his chest. "Whoever did that, I don't want to be meeting any time soon.." I was wondering who did it in the first place, but Silver asked before me.
Silver: Ummm.. hey, if you don't mind me asking, how did you get that scar?
Scourge: In a battle against my idiot brother, why do you ask?
Silver: Just curious...
So this stranger had a brother. Interesting.
Scourge: Now can I ask you a question now?
Silver: I guess...
Nobody's P.O.VBefore anyone could move, Scourge became a blur and pinned Silver to a tree by his neck. Scourge unsheathed short, but very sharp claws that could pierce almost anything. They rested on Silver's neck , but even without any force, they still cut the skin. Scarlet blood slowly started to drip, staining Scourge's hand. The other watched horrified. On Scourge's face you could see a slight trace of insanity, and amusement.
Scourge: Where is he?
Silver: W- who?! I d-don't know w-who your talk-talking about!
Scourge: * grips Silver's neck even tighter, digging his nails dig into his skin ,making him turn pale from blood loss.* My brother! Where. is. he?
?:I'm right here.
Everybody turned their heads around and saw a familiar blue hedgehog on the roof of the house. Except now, they wern't too sure if he was very familiar now. He wore midnight black fingerless gloves, jeans, and shirt. Around his neck was what looked like a silver metal collar, with a bright, sapphire blue emerald hanging from it. The emerald was smaller than a chaos emerald but was still pretty big. Scourge dropped Silver and stared somewhat amused at his brother. When he spoke, his voice seemed like a hiss that sent shivers down your spine.
Scourge: Hello, Sonic.
Sonic: Scourge.
They both seemed to be giving each other strong death glares that could melt metal on sight. Their ears were flat against their skulls and there teeth were bared, revealing sharp fangs. It was easy to tell that neither one of them liked seeing the other. When this was going on the rest of Sonic's friends had snuck over to Silver, who's muzzle was now almost the color of his fur.
Sonic: Guys, get out of here... NOW!
Everybody was a bit surprised at Sonic's tone but they didn't argue with him. They pulled Silver over in the forest to hide and managed to stop the bleeding with the first aid kit Tails always carries around. They all realized that this was Sonic's fight, and his alone. However, Amy had insisted that they still be very close to the fight, in case Sonic would need their help. Though seeing the scar on Scourge's chest was enough proof that Sonic was fine. They noticed Scourge turn and realized in fear that he was about to go and find them, and by the look of his face, kill them. But before he could take off, Sonic jumped off the roof and landed in front of him, looking VERY angry.
Sonic: . .Friends.
Scourge: Why should I? They're all going to end up dead anyways. Just like your old friends. Remember them? Heh. After you left I attacked the camp. So many of your friends blood and bodies lay there now, all because of YOU!
All of Sonic's friends seemed to pale. This hedgehog was insane. He enjoyed blood and death way too much and just thinking about what the scene looked like was just unbearable. Sonic however, just got more angry.
Sonic: The only reason I left was because of YOU!
Sonic tackled Scourge and they rolled in a flurry of blue and green spikes. Sonic manage to kick Scourge so hard he went flying into a tree. Now seeing both hedgehogs, they had scratches and deep cuts all over them and were both bleeding. Sonic continued by going so fast you couldn't even see him, not even a blur.
Sonic: You sent me here.* punches Scourge in the face* You made me leave my friends behind!* Kicks Scourge in the stomach and he goes flying into.. Knuckles?*
Sonic: KNUCKLES!? What are you doing here!?
Knuckles: Tails called me and said your brother was trying to kill you and-
He was cut off when Rouge and Blaze who showed up right behind him. Blaze's hand were covered in her fire looking ready for a fight.
Blaze: We've come to help you.
Sonic: You guys are going to get yourselves killed! Go hide with the others * Scourge gets up and kicks Sonic in the back from behind, then slashes him across his back*
Everyone except Scourge: SONIC!?
Sonic: * punches Scourge* GO! HIDE!
Hearing the tone in his voice, they knew he was serious. So they were going to go back into the house, when Amy grabbed Knuckle's hand and pulled him into their hiding place. Rouge and Blaze followed. The rest of their friends explained to them what happened. Blaze was worried about Silver but he had seemed to have gotten a bit better and insisted he was fine. They could still hear the fight. Scourge was saying something about Sonic being a shame to their family, and his "old friends" were weak and they were so easy to kill. He also called Sonic a " blue freak" which was followed by a growl from Sonic's throat. They pushed away some of the branches in the bush so the bush so they could see better. They saw Scourge kick a very angry Sonic into a tree. The force of the impact caused the tree to snap in half.
Sonic: That' !
Sonic seemed to be beyond anger now. He stood up and touched his crystal seemed to explode with bright blue light which circled Sonic. It then absorbed itself into Sonic which made him scream in pain. As soon as the light faded, Sonic stood up again. He glared at Scourge. His friends were very shocked at what happened next.
Sonic snapped his fingers and a small blue flame appeared on his fingers. Scourge seemed to gaze at the flame with a hint of fear. Though he spoke in a calm voice.
Scourge: I see you got your powers back, huh Sonic?
To answer his question, Sonic flicked his wrist like someone who would throw a Frisbee and bright blue flames shot out. Scourge had barley enough time to get out of the way and dodge the attack. It hit the tree behind him, but unlike regular fire, it just blew out and didn't catch anything else on fire.
Sonic: Yeah, which means you... * more flames appear in his hands* Better run.
He sent off another set of flames that hit their target. Scourge looked in fear at his leg. It was seared and was bleeding very ,very badly. He gave Sonic one last death glare.
Scourge: I'LL BE BACK!
With that he turned to limp off. But before he left he turned and made one last unexpected attack. Sonic was caught off guard and Scourge slashed his eye and muzzle. Sonic fell on the ground clutching his eye in pain. With a very satisfied and crazed smirk, and blood stained fingers. Scourge half ran, half limped off. Sonic's friends ran up to Sonic.
