Blackshade
Chapter 14: The Blackshade Is the Key
Alright so I'm sorry if yesterday's chapter was a little all over the place, it won't happen again I'm just trying to follow my setup here cx
But let's begin :)
"That idiot!"
"So Master Sonic didn't give you the location?"
"No! He's so stuck upon his stupid past!" Scourge yelled as he punched a wall.
"What about Fiona? I thought she was in charge of finding its ashes" Sally responded trying to calm Scourge.
"Fiona is wasting her time trying to make the life of his new recruit miserable, she's useless"
"New recruit? I thought Master Sonic swore never to bite anyone again" Sally scratched the back of her head.
"I guess he couldn't resist the temptation" Scourge chuckled evilly. "I mean she IS pretty hot"
Sally rolled her eyes as she looked at the blueprints.
"Even if you did find the location, where would you get the blood samples to unleash it?"
"That shouldn't be too hard, the blood of a mortal could be tricky since we'll have to go to the mainlands to get it but I could manage, all I need to know is where the hell he left the ashes!"
"Why don't you just tell him WHY you want its ashes?"
Scourge turned and looked at Sally.
"Sally, Sally, Sally" he said as he abruptly grabbed Sally by her shoulders and put her in front of a mirror.
"THINK!" he said as he grabbed her chin and squeezed it firmly. "USE that noggin of yours, if Sonic finds out the real reason why I want the material he'll NEVER give it to me and it might even get to the point where he'll even DESTROY the condiment, THINK SALLY ACORN" he finished as he jabbed his finger on her head.
"Then what do we do?" Sally asked.
"That's where YOU come in" Scourge said as he looked over at Sally.
"Me?"
"The Ghouls Ball is this Friday, you unfortunately won't be attending for the following reasons. Sonic doesn't know who you are, nor does he know you exist. A little after the Ghouls Ball your going to stop by in his front door and plead for him to give you hostage, there while you become a maid of his, you will help Fiona search for the ashes"
"Wait but wouldn..."
"Are you questioning me ACORN!?" Scourge scolded as he looked over at Fiona.
"No sir"
"I thought so now I need you to think, I told you Sonic's past and how he became a vampire. If I want you to do this I want you to grasp any little detail and by detail I mean the DICTION of the whole entire story to see if it will lead us to a clue of where the ashes could be"
"What is this AP English..." Sally muttered.
"What was that!?" Scourge yelled.
"Nothing!"
"Think! What could be a little detail that could symbolize a clue"
"Hmmmm what about the Blackshade Master Sonic held in his hand after being bitten?"
Scourge snapped his fingers, "That's it! The Blackshade is the answer!"
"Huh?"
"When Sonic realized that his stupid friend Antonio or whatever his name is escaped. He tried escaping as well but when he realized that the creature was closing in on him he opened the curtain to let the sunlight in and in that process tripped and a vase with a Blackshade inside fell, causing the Blackshade to fall on his hand. He was bitten gravely, he wasn't supposed to be a vampire, he was supposed to be dead, but it was the Blackshade that saved him because of the energy contained inside of it, that's why it took him 50 years to awake and become a vampire cause of the strong bite and the long process it took for the Blackshade to heal him. That Blackshade has more power than we imagine, the question is where does it come from? And how does it link to the material we are looking for"
"So you think the Blackshade is like some sort of key to open the idea of finding the ashes?"
"I don't know, that's why I'm sending you over there. I need you to find out more information about Blackshade and the power they contain. I think its a step up to finding what I'm looking for"
Sally nodded as they heard a knock on the door.
"Master Scourge, Master Pickle is here" Miles called from outside.
"Ughhhh what does that old man want" Scourge groaned as he walked toward the meeting room, Sally trailing behind.
"Ahh Scourge! There you are" Master Pickle said as Scourge walked into the meeting room.
"May I speak to you in private?" he said as he looked over at Sally and Miles.
Scourge turned and waved his hand at them, signaling them to leave the room and shut the door.
"So old man, what did I do this time?" Scourge asked as he laid on the couch.
"*sigh* Nothing Scourge you haven't done anything... yet..."
"Yet?"
"I want to talk to you about the Ghouls Ball tomorrow" Pickle said as he grabbed a cup of blood brought by Scourge's servants and drank it.
"I want to let you know that Sonic and his servants have been working months for this, they have the place spotless, I know because I flew by there on my way over here. I can tell their putting a lot of effort into this and..."
"Okay but what does that have to do with me?" Scourge asked.
"Scourge... just please promise me you won't cause any trouble. I want tomorrow to run smoothly and I don't want any trouble"
"Master Pickle you offend me!" Scourge sarcastically gasped as he put a hand on his chest. "You think I of all people would DARE to sabotage the one event of the year!"
"I'm not saying you would I'm just warning you Scourge. You and Sonic are the youngest vampires in the entire world and young vampires tend to be... how would I say it. Childish, and playful?"
"So your calling me an amateur!?" Scourge stood up and crossed his arms.
"No Scourge listen your going off the topic" Pickle stood up.
"I bet you NEVER gave your precious Sonic the same speech your giving me right now before the balls I hosted"
"That's because Sonic NEVER attended The Ghouls Balls before this one, he wouldn't even have gone to this one if he wasn't the one hosting it"
Scourge scoffed, "Just admit it old man! You like Sonic more than you like me, he's your favorite" Scourge mocked.
"I have no favorites Scourge"
"Then why are you always pinning things on me, I never hear you scolding Sonic for anything"
"I do scold Sonic just like I scold you. You really need to stop this jealousy of yours"
Scourge snapped at that statement, "I. AM. NOT. JEALOUS. OF. SONIC. THE. HEDGEHOG."
Pickle sighed as he walked toward the door,
"I didn't come here to argue, do you give me your word of setting your rivalry behind you for just tomorrow night yes or no?" Pickle asked as Scourge crossed his arms and kept quiet.
"*sigh* I'll take that as a yes" and with that Pickle left the room.
"Don't worry Pickle, I won't cause any mayhem tomorrow night, but time will tell *evil chuckle* time, will tell"
Suddenly Scourge felt the need for some blood and walked towards the window sill and flew out, headed toward Paris.
"So he has no family?" a police officer asked as they looked at the lifeless body.
"It appears that he doesn't" another PO stated.
"Then I guess we'll have to cremate the body" the fox said as the 2 police officers walked out of the door.
Meanwhile as Scourge flew above the police station, he began getting a strong scent of blood.
"Hmmm that smells exquisite"
He flew down and his blue eyes looked into the police station and he noticed an old man lying down on the prison cell.
"Fresh meat" Scourge said as he walked into the police station.
"Excuse me miss but I couldn't help but notice that man inside that cell, is he dead?"
"Yes, he actually died 2 days ago and we're trying to determine what to do with his body" the fox stated as she looked through some files.
"May I ask how he died?"
"He actually shot himself on the head before we could arrest him, he was a criminal"
"What did he do?" Scourge asked suddenly growing interested in the topic.
"That information is confidential" the fox said as she walked toward the office.
"But your more than welcome to take a peek if your really interested" and with that she left.
It was already dark outside and Scourge smiled evilly, getting a horrifying idea.
He walked toward the cell and looked inside.
"Definitely a dead man, I wonder what he did?"
The fox came back in to tell Scourge that he had to leave now but was shocked to see that Scourge and the dead man... were gone.
Scourge dropped the lifeless body in an alley and looked over it.
He noticed that most of the blood he had lost had came out of his head.
"Too bad you can't rest in peace"
And with that said Scourge sucked the remaining blood from his new victim in a slurp.
"I'll let you live though, since you were a criminal, you may come in handy" Scourge said as he wiped the blood off his lips.
Suddenly the body shifted and began shaking uncontrollably.
Scourge laughed evilly at the sight, he loved it when his victims began coming to life.
The dead man opened his eyes, revealing a deep shade of red.
His injuries from his head had cured and he slowly sat up.
His eyes were wide as he looked around his surroundings.
"W-where am I?"
"Hello fellow peasant, I am Scourge the Hedgehog, your new master"
The not so dead man looked at Scourge and observed him.
"Are you..."
"A vampire? Yes, yes I am" Scourge said as an evil chuckle escaped his lips.
"So how did I... am I a vampire?" the man asked as he touched his new sharp teeth.
Scourge laughed evilly as he nodded.
"Come with me, let me show you where you will be serving me for the next eternity" Scourge said as he began flying up.
The man followed through although it took him some effort.
And they both headed back to Italy.
"ATTENTION SERVANTS!" Scourge said as his servants lined up and bowed to him.
"I present to you the new recruit of this kingdom" Scourge said as he motioned toward the man.
"I was told he was a criminal, which by the way I congratulate you for good sir, I don't want any sissies in my kingdom" Scourge said as he laughed evilly.
"But tell us newbie, what crimes did you commit?" Scourge asked again as the man evilly smiled.
"Assault, attempt of kidnapping, rape, domestic violence, and I've killed 2 people in the life that I lived" the man said as the servants sent each other approval looks, except for Sally who frowned at the guy.
"Wow, interesting. See my people, this man is another example of how I don't recruit good for nothing sissies like a certain blue hedgehog we all know. Lone live Master Scourge!" Scourge yelled.
"LONG LIVE MASTER SCOURGE!" the servants repeated as well as the new recruit.
"I think me and you are gonna get along quite well" Scourge said as he put his arm around the man.
"But tell us, what IS your name?" Scourge asked.
"My name is Bob... Bob Archambault..."
