Arctic ran down the hall with Scourge behind her, looking for the way to the room that held Scourges clothes and warp ring. Though the two were halted to a a hallway filled with lasers for a good yard.
"Ah man, ya gotta be kiddin me." Scourge said, groaning at the tight spaces between the lasers, clearly not passable without setting off the alarms in the complex.
"Like, relax, its in hands, okay?" Arctic said, still acting like Fiona as best she could. Anyways, the big-eared fox crawled along the wall because of its gravity and reached carefully for the panel on the floor, or in her case, wall. Carefully entering the code, Delta23.13, and easy code for the skilled hacker, the lasers bounced away into a single gun, shutting off.
"Damn Fi, didnt know you were quite the hacker. Pretty hot like that outfit." He chuckled, walking ahead as Arctic blushed deeply, thankfully hidden by the midnight mask.
'He thinks im hot?' She thought, smiling as her eyes sparkled, but in an instant, she shook her head and growled. 'Get it together Arctic! He thinks your Fiona, meaning he doesnt think that about you! Focus!' Her thoughts screamed, making her run ahead of the emerald hedgehog to some more hallways and paths, luckily without any guards seeing the two escaping.
"How did they not see us?" Scourge asked, noticing the cameras but no alarms went off.
"I hacked into the data base and shut down the cameras, your collar, cell door, and the motion detectors. Everything's taken care off." Arctic said, acting as if it was the easiest thing in the world. Which to her, it was next to being a ninja.
Once they got past some more guards, disabled some more lasers or traps along the way to the room that held his gear.
"Alright, your box of stuff should be around here somewhere. But we need to be fast, according to the schedule, some guards check this every hour, giving us only ten minutes." Arctic said, looking around for his box but felt her ears unfold, popping up.
'Oh no, not now! Please!' She thought, tucking them back in for just a little longer, feeling it wouldnt stay that long forever, along with her tails.
Scourge climbed along the left shelf of boxes, trying to find his favorite jacket and shades, but no luck. Meanwhile, Arctic was checking the right shelf, finding a box that matched his cell number, 29.32. 'Finally.' She thought, taking it out and tossed it to Scourge, who shred the prison clothes the same as the first time and took them off fully as the skinny fox blushed, looking away. Thats when she noticed a clipboard in there too. Written on it was Scourges info.
'Name: Scourge. Age: 18 (born on 162, year of 3220) Father: Anti Jules, Mother: Unknown. Species: Hedgehog, anti of Sonic. Gear Contents: Black jacket, red sunglasses, and black crown. Powers: Super speed, Super Scourge, and spin-dash. Charges: Crossing Cosmic Interstate, trying to take over Mobius, and vandalism.' She read, rolling her eyes at that last one. 'No shocker there. Punishment: Execution?' She read, puzzled and surprised.
"Hey babe, can we go or wait to get caught?" Scourge said, fully dressed in his normal attire, twirling the small power ring on his finger.
"Oh uh, yeah." She said, putting the clipboard away and walking over to him along the wall.
"Cant believe how easy this was." Scourge said, smirking and flipped the ring.
"Hey! How'd you get out of your cell?!" A male voice yelled, belonging to the zone cop, Zonic. The white fox glanced at Scourge, feeling her ears and tails could pop out any moment.
'Oh well, was gonna get caught anyway.' She thought, kicking Sonic sideways along the wall as he was standing on the floor. None the less, he hit a wall, making cracks in it which was amazing since she still had the collar Scourge put on her, cutting off powers.
Scourge quickly grabbed her arm and jumped into the warp ring.
The two landed in the Grand Forest back on Anti Mobius, landing with a light thud as they landed on their feet from above. Scourge smirked and lifted his glasses while grabbing the ring when it shrunk.
"Surprisingly, that went better than last time. Though, I wish I could punch a few of the idiot prisoners for beating on me and callin me 'Snot'." He groaned as his old nickname was certainly not forgotten. "But, all in all, thanks for coming through for me babe." Scourge said, walking over as Arctic tried to back up, but her back hit a tree. He ripped off the mask and kissed her instantly, not seeing who it really was under that mask first.
The two positively melted into the kiss. Scourge moaned and wrapped his arms around her back, pulling her in deeper. Arctics eyes flung wide open when he crashed with her, her lavender eyes sparkled under the moonlight as the emerald hedgehog made the icy fox warm, feeling her ice powers melt into water.
She was so relaxed, her huge ears flipped up, her tails uncurled and frizzed out underneath the fabric with a slight wag added. Basically, the kiss was magical.
Before the two would go to doing it right there, Scourge pulled away, a thin line of drool between their lips until he gasped and coughed harshly.
"You?! You saved me from that prison?!" He yelled, backing up. The fox was lost and looked unfazed by his outburst.
"Yes. Yes I did. So I think a few thanks are in order." Arctic said, crossing her arms.
"B-But why?! How?!" He yelled.
"Because your girlfriend was gonna do it 'later'. But if she did, you would've died by then, your punishment wasn't life in prison this time, it was execution." She said.
"Why would Fi not come to rescue her hot boyfriend? What does she have better to do?" He asked, but Arctic already had her own ideas after seeing her enter a room alone with Lightning. But she didnt want to say anything, knowing the redhead fox would beat her for it.
"I dont know, but bottom line, I think you owe me. So at the castle...could you be a bit nicer to me?" She asked, walking over with her arms twisted behind her back in a cute manor.
"I dont know-" He started, sitting against a tree, ticking off Arctic immediately.
"Or I can call the prison right now." She said, sporting a serious glare.
"Fine, fine! Damn, you got spunk for things you want." He said, sighing as he flipped the shades over his eyes while getting relaxed. "Depending how late it is, im not in the mood for travel right now." He said as the fox just stood there, shivering in the wind. "You gonna get over here or what?" He asked, making her eyes widen once again.
"U-Um okay." She said, slowly walking over and laid beside him, feeling drowsy herself. What he did next surprised her, as he wrapped an arm around her, pulling her on his chest.
"Dont be shy." He said, his fangs glistening in a flirting grin.
"Whatever." She said, subconsciously nuzzling into his rough chest like a pillow, making both of them blush lightly.
"One thing remains a mystery to me babe, why did you come for me? I die, you couldve just ran off, free as you can get until that collar gets yanked off." He said, propping an arm behind his head.
"Thats actually something I couldnt answer. Maybe it was because no one was going to help you get out, or that like my sister, I cant let someone die without a second chance. As my teacher, Arachnis and Aurora once said, everyone here only has one life to live." She said, slipping under his jacket so she was closer to him.
"I guess, but now im thinking I shouldnt underestimate you." He said, and before she fell asleep, he felt a soft peck on her head which made her eyes once again go wide.
'God what is wrong with me? All of a sudden I care for the guy that owns me. It just doesnt make sense.' She thought, sighing and fell asleep, wondering what was happening.
