As for how Scourge had known of this, he recognized Fiona coming upstairs with Lightning and Sleuth, looking quite satisfied with herself, which was..pretty strange.
"You seem happy." Scourge said, grabbing his girlfriends attention as the two males continued walking. Fiona smiled and her ocean blue eyes had a sparkle, looking just like she did when she messed with Amy and broke up with Sonic, basically a rush.
"Oh I am, Scourge. Im just feeling like...the rightful order has been restored. Ya know?" She asked, her eyes narrowing and smile curving into a mischievous look as she walked off, without another word.
The king of Moebius knew that look well, and based on how she said it and the way Arctic was nowhere to be found, it could only be one thing. Dashing down the stairs, he found Arctic in a chamber, beaten harshly as her skin practically sizzled at the alcohol that was poured on her.
He got on his knees beside her, raising her head up with a slight shake, trying to get her up but she was too weak to bring herself to open her lavender eyes for the world to see again. The hedgehog didnt exactly know a lot about CPR and all that, but he tried pumping her chest. Except he was answered with a wince from the fox, her arms wrapping around her sides as that wasnt the least bit helping.
Finally, his lips met hers in a mouth to mouth method, but it was more of a kiss to him. Once they were connected, he felt a shock hit him, shivers ran down his spine and his quills were raised and bristled from the shock.
Besides that, her chest softly rose and fell steadily instead of being messed up and out or order like before. She felt her throat tense up and coughed up some blood and broke apart for a minute to wipe it from her soft lips. With a few more harsh coughs, quick bats of her eyes, and rubbing her eyes to regain vision, she saw who her savior was.
The two just looked at each other, and for a moment, the iced fox couldnt call him cruel now, not now. His ice blue eyes were mixed with the golden glow from the fireplace, his expression didnt show anything too evil, crazy or cruel. Just...showed concern and a connection with that kiss.
Her three tails curved up and frizzed at how she saw him, and how he brushed his hand on the left side of her soft muzzle to pull her back to a real kiss. She wrapped her arms under his sharp quills, not wanting to let go until her brain kicked in.
'Okay, let me get this straight. He is in love with Fiona, who is secretly dating Lightning of the Destructix behind his back, waiting to become Queen so she can knock him right off the throne for herself. He like, toys with my feelings so it looks like we have something, but slaps me like im worth nothing later. When I stop talking to him, he loses interest in Fiona and looks concerned with me.' She thought, her eyes slanted half way open, looking at her lime master that was now kissing her.
'But how do I know if he's really into me this time?' She thought sadly before breaking apart and getting up.
"Hey, we had nice thing happening." He said, getting up himself.
"I-Im sorry I just-" She started, rubbing the back of her head, trying to think of what to say exactly. "Thanks for..saving me b-but...I just cant do this..." She said softly, running out the doors to leave Scourge alone in the room.
He couldnt blame her really, after all that happened. Though, when he was with Arctic, he just...felt different. Like there was something about her he just couldnt figure out yet, but really, he didnt see many things coming. Like Sonic beating him in Super Scourge form.
While he did love Fi because she choose to be bad, unlike the anti babes who were evil since birth, the slave was totally different. Perhaps it was his old ways of cheating coming back from the young teen years, when he could kick back and lead his crew without a care. Or perhaps it was because the love between the fox and hedgehog had gotten old, like there wasnt a spark there anymore.
Or it could just be that the fox was nice, and that gentle way she treated her master, after all she suffered through, she was never cruel. After all, he never did really date a nice mobian, he only messed with them back when he was a blue, weak anti and bailed before his old crew tried to beat on him.
Yeah, this had to be why he was feeling this way. He had truly fallen for the gentle mobian, except would she believe that his feelings were true this time? And if so, how would he break it to Fi without the brunette destroying him and the castle?
