Scourge's p.o.v.
"For the last time, NO!" Fleetway yelled and they all fell quiet but I know that was just a futile attempt at shutting them up. I looked away from our little predicament to the scenery of the forest and internally sighed. We've already found a Chaos emerald to bring Blue back but with everything going on, even I can see how those two are happier than when they first met.
"But-"
"No, no, absolutely NO!" Fleet once again interrupted the fox kit. "I don't want to talk about it, Scourge doesn't want to talk about it, no one wants to talk about it!"
"Fleet, maybe it would be nice to make them shut up." I suggested but received a glare
"It does them no good."
"Does them no good?" I asked slowly and he blinked. I always love it when he gets riled up and doesn't know what he is saying until someone points it out.
"S-Shut up!" I chuckled and he pouted. "I'm right though..."
"Right."
"Ummm..." we both turned to the fox kit and his friends as they looked at us confused. "I don't know what this is all about but can you please tell us how you met Maurice?" he pleaded and I looked to Fleet only for him to shake his head.
"Sorry fox boy, Fleet is too embarrassed by our meeting with him to talk about it."
"Am not!" he yelled
"Really? Then why did you scream like a five year old girl while yelling 'Help! Scourge! I'm being attacked by a monster!'?" his face turned as red as echidna's fur as he glared at me and chuckles from them turned his whole face redder than a tomato.
"I did not say that and I certainly did NOT scream like a girl!" he turned away while trying to hold onto any last bit of pride he might have and I laughed.
"Okay, say all you want." I raised my arms in defense as he glared at me again.
"Sometimes I wonder why I even stay with you."
"I wonder the same thing every day."
"Scourge?"
"Hmm?" I turned to the fox kit as he spoke again.
"If you tell us this one thing, we will stop bugging you." Fleet growled making him jump.
"Oh no you don't! I'm not falling for any blackmail! I'll be living in hell before that happens!" I placed an arm around his shoulders and shook him.
"Then I guess your in hell after all." he growled then yelled out in frustration while stomping towards a rock and sitting on it with his back facing me.
"I can't believe you Scourge!"
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say Fleet." he glared at me again and huffed. "Now where was I?... Oh, yes. Our meeting. Okay, so it went a little like this..."
Third Person
*Flashback*
On the planet Mobius, Scourge and Fleetway were both in a gang called The Destructix which consists of seven members all together. A fox named Fiona, a lynx named Lighting Lynx, a gorilla named Sergeant Simian, a frog named Flying Frog, a hawk named Predator Hawk and the two leaders were Fleetway and Scourge. The gang was known to be a notorious group and had claimed most of the area that they were in. During this time period though, they were unaware of Ivo and Maurice until one day Scourge and Fleetway caught sight of the base the two were staying in and decided to investigate.
"Hey Scourge!" the golden hedgehog called towards the green one from up in a tree.
"What is it Fleet?" he asked, jumping up to the branch the other hedgehog was on.
"What's that over there?" he pointed towards the base just off of the forest and Scourge hummed.
"Hmm... dunno but it looks like some sort of building."
"Do you think that the other Mobians are trying to rebel?" Fleetway looked over at the other leader who smirked.
"Maybe but if it is a sign of a resistance forming, then we should probably nib it in the bud." both hedgehogs jumped down to the ground but before Scourge took off running, Fleetway stopped him.
"Do you think we should get the others just in case its a trap?" Scourge shook his head.
"Nah. The others are resting from the fight against the Acorn Kingdom earlier and besides, if we go back now, then we might never find this base again." Fleetway reluctantly nodded his head in agreement and followed the other towards the base. Once they got there, Fleetway was a little hesitant while Scourge just walked in without a care in the world. The whole base was pitch black.
"Scourge!" Fleetway half yelled, half whispered. "We shouldn't just barge in. What if this was a trap all along?"
"Would you cut it out with the traps?" Scourge whispered back "Now why don't you light up the area so we can see where we are going?" the golden hedgehog rolled his eyes before using his special ability of Chaos energy to make a glow come off his body. "See?" Scourge gestured around him "Nothing is going to jump out at you."
"Not now." he whispered to himself, still unsure of the base. While they were investigating the new area, Ivo and Maurice came back from watching some unevolved animals that lived in these parts of the forest.
"My, my. We certainly got some excellent info from those animals." Ivo said while holding up his clipboard with all the new information. Maurice nodded but then stopped in his tracks as he saw the door was ajar.
"Ivo." he whispered gaining the human's attention. "Look." he pointed at the open door and the two friends looked at each other before hiding behind a tree.
"Oh no. What do you think we have? An intruder of some sorts?" Ivo whispered in alarm but Maurice just walked over and poked the door. It squeaked a bit then stopped. "Maurice!" Ivo yelped "We can't just barge in while our intruders are in there!" Maurice looked at the human before slipping past inside. Ivo briefly looked around before sighing and reluctantly following the hedgehog.
"Maybe we should move somewhere else so that we won't disturb the wildlife." Ivo suggested but Maurice shook his head. The hedgehog sniffed the air then turned his head to get a better whiff. He snapped his eyes open once he got the scent and took off after whoever the intruder was. Ivo yelled then raced after him. Meanwhile in the base, Fleetway and Scourge was in awe at seeing all the machines that were laying around.
"Wow! Who'd except that these things would be here?" Scourge asked then reached his hand out to touch one when Fleetway stopped him.
"Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?" Fleetway's ears swiveled around before perking up at the sound he heard.
"That! It sounds like footsteps!" he half yelled, half whispered. Scourge listened before he looked towards the golden hedgehog.
"Yeah." they stood back to back and listened as the sound of footsteps got louder and louder until a blur rammed into the golden hedgehog sending them both to the ground. Fleetway gave a high-pitched squeal as he thrashed in his attacker's hold.
"Help! Scourge! I'm being attacked by a monster!" Fleetway kept on trying to get away as Scourge was left speechless as a brown hedgehog was the one holding his partner down.
"Maurice!" Ivo called out as he entered the room but stopped as he saw what happened. "Oh... uh..." Fleetway finally stopped moving at the sudden silence and opened his eyes to come face to face with brown ones staring intently at him.
"Uh..." Fleetway tried to talk but was rendered speechless but Scourge shook his head then tilted it to the side as he tried to comprehend their situation.
"What exactly is going on?" he asked while waving his hands out then dropping them to his side.
"Well..." Ivo adjusted his glasses as he spoke, "It appears that you two have trespassed on our base." Scourge looked from the human to the brown hedgehog then back again.
"Ooookaaaay... well... maybe if you let my friend go then we will get out of your hair." he waved towards Fleetway and Maurice but the brown hedgehog just gave a side glance at the green hedgehog before looking down at the golden one. Fleetway gave a wry smile as a brown ear flopped to the side while looking at him.
"Hello... can you... maybe... get off me?" Maurice huffed at his words then moved his nose to his neck. "W-What are you doing?" Maurice sniffed then satisfied, he moved up and smirked down at Fleetway. "Umm... can you move? I'm getting a little sore..." Maurice complied and walked beside Ivo. Once Fleetway was on his feet, he hide half-way behind Scourge.
"I don't think I like him." Fleetway whispered to Scourge who glared at him.
"Be nice Fleet. I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding." the two hedgehog's looked at the human and other hedgehog as they stared back.
"Maurice, can you turn the lights on?" Ivo asked his friend and he did so. Once the lights were on, Ivo widened his eyes while looking at the two hedgehogs
"A golden hedgehog with its quills pointing up and a green hedgehog with a jacket and shades... fascinating!" Ivo grabbed the pencil from his coat and wrote a note down on his clipboard. Said hedgehogs looked at each other before Maurice walked around them on all fours. The golden hedgehog yelped as the brown one sniffed his legs. Scribbling stopped as Ivo looked up from his note and chuckled at the brown hedgehog.
"Maurice, go easy on them." said hedgehog nodded and tilted his head off to the side, watching them.
"So... your name is Maurice?" Scourge asked and he nodded "Well... what exactly are you doing?"
"Identification." Maurice replied
"W-Well can you choose something not so weird!?" Fleetway yelled and Maurice huffed. Before he had time to react, the brown hedgehog had pinned the golden one to the ground.
"Hey!" Scourge called out and Ivo hummed. "Can you get him off of Fleetway?" the human chuckled
"Maurice, get off him." the brown hedgehog obliged and laid down on the ground like a lion would and put his head on his outstretched arms. "Sorry about him. Maurice is highly curious around strangers."
"Huh..."
"Yeah, well, in other words, my name is Ivo Robotnik and this is Maurice." Ivo gestured towards him then the brown hedgehog who frowned.
"Weapon." he added.
"Maurice." Ivo shook his head "You don't need to add that whenever you or someone else introduces you." Maurice huffed
"Weapon!?" all eyes turned to Fleetway as he yelled. "Your a weapon!?"
"He was created." Ivo pointed out and Scourge chuckled at his partner's confusion.
"Anyway, I'm Scourge and that over there is a child." Fleetway pouted while glaring at Scourge
"My name is Fleetway, Scourge and you know it." he growled through clenched teeth making the green hedgehog roll his eyes.
"Whatever."
*Flashback End*
Fleetway's p.o.v.
"... And that is how we met." Scourge finished the story but I was boiling mad. I did not act like a child that day! I didn't!
"Wow!" Tails was beaming with joy at every word that was told "Did that really happen?"
"Sure did." he nodded and I huffed.
"I didn't say that..." I mumbled
"Oh cut it out Fleet. The past is the past so get over it and besides, you don't seem to be overly worried that Maurice will attack now instead of then." he shrugged and I turned away from him.
"Thats cause he is a living weapon!" I waved my arms around and stood up, facing him. "What would you do if a weapon attacked you out of nowhere!?"
"Not what you did." he had a smug smirk on his face that I was dying to wipe right off. All of a sudden, an explosion went off causing the ground to shake and we had to hold onto something so we wouldn't fall.
"Is everyone all right?" I heard Knuckles call out and also heard agreements come from everyone else.
"Where did that come from?" I asked and Scourge looked around.
"Don't know but we should check on Maurice just in case." he raced off to the base with us following him but when we got back, Maurice and Shadow wasn't here.
"Where did they go?" Amy asked then I walked outside and saw smoke come from a silver building.
"That way." I pointed at the building and Rouge looked at me then her friends.
"Are you sure?" she asked and I shook my head.
"No but I know I'm sure thats where the explosion came from." we all looked at each other before racing off towards the building.
