Hey everyone! Here is yet another chapter for a story I started two years ago! I started as a huge Sonadow fan and then got interested in Danny Phantom and now I'm more of a TomxTord fan but I know what to do with this story and I have plenty of time to finish it! Also, there was a question in the comments from last chapter from Darkflame the Hedgefox that I would like to answer here.
Question: Is Sonic more of a kiddish age, or is his personality just more kiddish?
Answer: For this story, Eggman wiped Sonic's memories and 'raised' him in a more sheltered situation than how he was raised in the actual Sonic canon. He was never placed in a situation where he had to fend for himself (and his siblings) so he wasn't able to develop that more confident, daredevil personality. Hope this answers your question.
For anyone else who has questions, go ahead and leave them in the comments and I'll answer them!
He knew it wasn't a good idea but he couldn't help but be curious. When that green hedgehog had spoke to them, he said things that kept running through Sonic's head more than anything. He had also started experiencing headaches and weird dreams. Something was wrong and the green hedgehog might know something about it. Shadow was gone for a few hours so Sonic didn't have to worry about him getting upset about this. Normally, Sonic wouldn't go off and not tell anyone, nor would he hide something from someone. Ivo had taught him to be honest.
But something told Sonic that neither Shadow nor Ivo could be trusted with this.
Sonic's head throbbed as he tied on his sneakers. He glanced over at the kitchen where Amy was cooking with Cream and Sonia.
'I can't trust any of them…'
Sonic blinked, shocked at his thoughts. He'd never have thought he'd think something like that about mobians who haven't done anything to him. Sonic tapped his shoes on the floor to adjust them before opening the door and heading outside. He knew where Scourge was, so he took off as soon as he got off the patio.
Later, Sonic slowed his pace to a stop as he came to a prison yard. Throughout the yard, there were several different mobians in orange uniforms. The fence that surrounded it had barbed wire on top and a trench between the yard and the fence that didn't have a visible bottom. The blue hedgehog looked over the yard until he spotted a green hedgehog sitting on a rock with his sunglasses down. Next to him were a female fox with red fur and a smaller male fox with yellow fur and a tuff of gray hair on his head. Scourge was grinning as he listened to what the yellow fox was saying while the red fox laughed. Sonic nodded to himself before he turned and ran over to the main entrance to the prison.
He stopped by the front fence and looked up at the control box. A dog sat with a paper sitting on the desk in front of him that he had been reading before looking up at Sonic. He looked bored.
"Sonic? What do you want here?" the guy asked.
Sonic paused. How did this guard know him? He had spent his whole life in Ivo's base and had only started hanging around Shadow and his group a few months ago. He must've been introduced when Ivo dropped off a criminal he had caught.
Sonic nodded to himself before crossing his arms, a habit he had inherited from Shadow, and looked up at the guard. He knew from watching Shadow and Ivo that being confident usually helped with mobians.
"I'm here to see a prisoner. I have a few questions for Scourge the hedgehog. I know he's here so I'd like to talk to him." (forgot that Sonic was never told Scourge's name so just assume Shadow told him about it)
The guard nodded before putting a key into a slot and turning it, causing the gates to open slowly for the hedgehog. Sonic looked up at the guard and nodded in thanks before dashing in. He didn't know why he decided to move so fast, it just felt right. His head throbbed again as he stopped in front of the front doors which opened to reveal the human warden.
"Sonic! Nice to see you again. It's been years. My guard told me that you're here to see Scourge. I have another guard bringing him to one of out interrogation rooms. I trust you want your privacy when talking to him?" The warden asked, leading Sonic down the halls.
Sonic nodded to him and paused when he saw Scourge sitting at the table through a window while the warden unlocked the door. Sonic couldn't help but feel nervous when the door opened and Scourge grinned at him, deviously. The blue speedster gathered himself and stepped into the room.
"Just let us know when you want to leave." the warden told him before closing the door and locking it.
"I've never really got that." Scourge grinned, shrugging. "How do you let them know when you're ready to leave? Is it some kinda telepathy thing? I dunno. So, Blue. What's up?"
Sonic took a seat on the other side of the table as the green hedgehog spoke.
"You said some things that I wanted to ask you about when we fought in the city." (I am so annoyed with myself that I forgot the name of the town from the sonic universe.)
"Like?" Scourge grinned, resting his head on his hand.
"You act like you know me but I don't remember anything about you so why is that?" Sonic asked, crossing his arms and resting them on the table.
"You hit your head recently, Blue? We've been enemies for years. Ever since you visited my universe with Stripes and that fox brat and ended up destroying everything." Scourge explained, his grin falling to a frown. "We're opposites. I'm you from the antiverse. Remember any of that?"
Sonic frowned, grabbing his head as it throbbed again.
"I don't know. I remember growing up living in Ivo's base. I only met Shadow and everyone about 6 months ago. The only time I remember meeting you the one time we fought." he explained, rubbing his head.
Scourge nodded and leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed.
"Also, you talked about a fox being with me?"
Scourge's grin regrew across his muzzle and his eyes took a devious spark.
"Well when you were a hero," Scourge sneered. "you used to work with this little fox twirp that followed you around. You even called him your little brother all the time. But I guess if he wasn't important to you, you must not have cared as much as you claimed to."
Sonic's head throbbed again before something flashed passed his eyes.
"Tails, what's happening?!"
"We've been hit by something! I think it was a rocket!"
"It's taken too much damage! We're going down!"
Sonic blinked before looking back at Scourge, who was looking at him expectantly. The blue hedgehog froze for a second before narrowing his eyes. Sonic stood and nodded to the green hedgehog.
"Thank you. You helped me a lot today." he said, turning his back to the surprised green hedgie and knocked on the door before it opened for him.
He nodded to the warden before zooming away from the prison. He needed to see the doctor.
